Economic Update – Stock Funds

The pace of economic growth slowed during the 12-month period that began October 1, 2007 and ended September 30, 2008 as a growing number of factors weighed on consumers and businesses alike. The economy stayed clear of a recession, with an uptick in growth in the first half of 2008. However, it was widely expected that growth would slow to zero or negative near the end of the period as the most severe housing downturn in decades showed no sign of abating and job growth continued to slide. Inventories of homes for sale rose, home prices declined and tighter credit standards, the result of continued turmoil in the subprime mortgage market, made it more difficult for homebuyers to qualify for loans. Food prices rose, raising concerns about inflation, and energy prices soared to record highs before backing down sharply in the last months of the period. Consumer confidence declined sharply through June, then improved modestly in Aug ust and September. However, The Conference Board's consumer confidence survey revealed that consumer appraisal of the economic environment continues to erode. Consumer confidence is surveyed monthly by The Conference Board.

As growth weakened, businesses began to pull back on hiring, which further dimmed the outlook for consumers. Job losses were reported for nine consecutive months in 2008, and the unemployment rate spiked to 6.1%. The slowdown in manufacturing activity was one of the last major indicators to turn negative. Federal tax rebates, which began to arrive in May, helped bolster consumer spending during the early summer months, but consumer spending turned negative later in the period.

In an effort to inspire confidence in the capital markets, loosen the reins on credit and shore up economic growth, the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) brought a key short-term rate—the federal funds rate—down from 4.75% to 2.0% during the 12-month period. After seven rate cuts, the Fed remains concerned about inflation; but a weak economic outlook began to shift its priorities.¹

Stocks retreat as economic storm clouds gather

Against a shifting economic backdrop, the U.S. stock market lost 21.98% for the 12-month period, as measured by the S&P 500 Index. Small- cap stocks held up better than large- and mid-cap stocks, as measured by their respective Russell indices.²Value stocks held up better than growth stocks in the small- and mid-cap range while growth stocks lost less than value stocks among large caps. As the dollar rebounded modestly against the euro, investors reaped even lower returns from investments outside the U.S. The MSCI EAFE Index, a broad gauge of stock market performance in foreign developed markets, lost 30.50% (in U.S. dollars) for the period. Emerging stock markets, which have had a strong run over the past several years, were also caught in the downdraft. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned negative 33.01% (in U.S. dollars).³

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

¹On October 8, the Fed lowered the federal funds rate to 1.5% and on October 29, the Fed lowered the Federal Funds rate to 1.0%.

²The Russell 1000 Index measures the performance of 1,000 of the largest US companies, based on market capitalization. The Russell Midcap Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, as ranked by total market capitalization. The Russell 2000 Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on market capitalization.

³The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a widely accepted index composed of a sample of companies from 25 countries representing the global emerging stock markets.

Indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Securities in the fund may not match those in an index.

Summary

For the 12-month period that ended September 30, 2008

^g The broad U.S. stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, returned negative 21.98%. Developed stock markets outside the United States returned negative 30.50%, as measured (in U.S. dollars) by the MSCI EAFE Index.

^g Despite volatility in many segments of the bond market, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index delivered a modest return. High-yield bonds lost significant ground, as measured by the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Cash Pay Index.

The Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield, Cash Pay Index tracks the performance of non-investment-grade corporate bonds.

Economic Update (continued) – Stock Funds

Bonds delivered modest gains

The U.S. bond market seesawed during the 12-month period but delivered a modest gain as investors sought the relative safety of the highest quality sectors. After a weak start, bond prices in many sectors rose and yields declined as economic growth slowed and stock market volatility increased. Although the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield edged back above 4.0% in 2008, it slipped back to 3.83% at the end of the period, nearly one full percentage point below where it was one year ago. In this environment, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 3.65%. High-yield bonds took a beating. The Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield, Cash Pay Index returned negative 11.62%.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Fund Profile – Columbia Asset Allocation Fund

Summary

^g For the 12-month period that ended September 30, 2008, the fund's Class A shares returned negative 16.23% without sales charge.

^g In a difficult period, the fund held up better than its peer group, the Lipper Mixed Asset Target Allocation Growth Classification.¹

^g Shifts in portfolio allocations aided the fund's returns. However, the favorable impact was partially offset by disappointing performance in certain market segments.

The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% for Class A and Class T shares, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year and eliminated thereafter for Class B shares and 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The "without sales charge" returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower.

Performance results reflect any fee waivers or reimbursements of fund expenses by the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees. Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Please see the fund's prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.

The tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.

The returns for Class A shares and Class B shares include the returns of Prime A shares (for Class A shares) and Prime B shares (for Class B shares) of the Galaxy Asset Allocation Fund for periods prior to November 18, 2002, the date on which Class A and Class B shares were initially offered by the fund. The returns shown for Class A shares and Class B shares also include the returns of Retail A shares of the Galaxy Asset Allocation Fund (adjusted, as necessary, to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class A shares and Class B shares, respectively), for periods prior to the inception of Prime A shares and Prime B shares (November 1, 1998). Class A and Class B shares generally would have had substantially similar returns to Prime A shares, Prime B shares and Retail A shares because th ey would have been invested in the same portfolio of securities, although returns would have been lower to the extent that expenses for Class A and Class B shares exceed expenses paid by Prime A shares and Retail A shares. The returns shown for Class C shares include the returns of Prime B shares of the Galaxy Asset Allocation Fund (adjusted to reflect the sales charge applicable to Class C shares) for periods prior to November 18, 2002, the date on which Class C shares were initially offered by the fund. The returns shown for Class C shares also include the returns of Retail A shares of the Galaxy Asset Allocation Fund (adjusted to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class C shares) for periods prior to the date of inception of Prime B shares (November 1, 1998). Class C shares generally would have had substantially similar returns because they would have been invested in the same portfolio of securities, although the returns would have been lower to the extent that expenses for Class C shares exceed exp enses paid by Retail A shares or Prime B shares. Retail A shares of the Galaxy Asset Allocation Fund were initially offered on December 30, 1991. Class A, Class B and Class C shares were initially offered on November 18, 2002. The returns for Class T shares include the returns of Retail A shares (for Class T shares) of the Galaxy Asset Allocation Fund for periods prior to November 18, 2002, the date on which Class T shares were initially offered by the fund. The returns for Class Z shares include returns of Trust shares of the Galaxy Asset Allocation Fund for periods prior to November 18, 2002, the date on which Class Z shares were initially offered by the fund. Trust shares of the Galaxy Asset Allocation Fund were initially offered on December 30, 1991.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Asset Allocation Fund

As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Analyzing your fund's expenses by share class

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the "actual" column is calculated using the fund's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the "hypothetical" column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this period.

Compare with other funds

Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees.

Estimating your actual expenses

To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:

^g For shareholders who receive their account statements from Columbia Management Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.columbiafunds.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 800.345.6611.

^g For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.

1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.

2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during the period," locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled "actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

If the value of your account falls below the minimum initial investment requirement applicable to you, your account generally will be subject to a $20 annual fee. This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.

04/01/08 – 09/30/08

	Account value at the beginning of the period ($)				Account value at the end of the period ($)				Expenses paid during the period ($)				Fund's annualized expense ratio (%)
	Actual		Hypothetical		Actual		Hypothetical		Actual		Hypothetical		Actual
Class A		1,000.00		1,000.00		908.00		1,018.55		6.15		6.51		1.29
Class B		1,000.00		1,000.00		904.40		1,014.80		9.71		10.28		2.04
Class C		1,000.00		1,000.00		904.40		1,014.80		9.71		10.28		2.04
Class T		1,000.00		1,000.00		907.80		1,018.30		6.39		6.76		1.34
Class Z		1,000.00		1,000.00		909.30		1,019.80		4.96		5.25		1.04

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 366.

It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

For the 12-month period that ended September 30, 2008, the fund's Class A shares returned negative 16.23% without sales charge. The S&P 500 Index returned negative 21.98% and the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 3.65%.¹ The fund's return was higher than the negative 17.90% average return of its peer group, the Lipper Mixed Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds Classification.² A decision to increase exposure to investment grade bonds and small cap value while reducing exposure to international and large cap equities, as well as high-yield bonds, aided performance. Disappointing performance from the fund's bond and international equity allocations hampered returns.

Portfolio positioning helped stem losses in a difficult environment

The world's stock markets were battered as a worldwide credit crisis and weakening economic growth undermined investor confidence. Many segments of the U.S. bond market also came under pressure. In this environment, we made some key changes to the fund's allocations that helped stem losses. Within the domestic equity portion of the portfolio, we reduced the fund's exposure to large cap stocks and increased exposure to small caps, which aided performance as large caps underperformed. The fund's exposure to small cap value was particularly helpful to performance because the manager's losses were substantially less than that of the index. We cut back on the fund's international equity position, which was well timed because international stock markets were even weaker than the U.S. market. Within the fixed income portion of the portfolio, we added to the fund's position in investment grade bonds and reduced exposure to high-yield bo nds. The shift helped the fund capture some positive performance. Investment grade bonds were the only major market segment other than cash to generate a positive return for the period. It also limited losses in the high-yield sector, which was the weakest performing area in the fixed-income markets.

A period of transition for U.S. and global economies

The economic landscape weakened considerably near the end of the period as a credit crisis and rising unemployment weighed on consumer demand. However, the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury have taken steps to restore confidence in the capital markets and we believe that they will continue to pursue options to prevent a protracted economic downturn. In this environment, we believe that investors who are focused on their goals have the potential to benefit from the broad diversification offered by Columbia Asset Allocation Fund, even though diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss.

Portfolio Managers' Report (continued) – Columbia Asset Allocation Fund

Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change periodically and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for the fund may differ from that presented for other Columbia Funds.

Equity investments are affected by stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments.

Investing in high-yield securities (commonly known as "junk" bonds) offers the potential for high current income and attractive total return, but involves certain risks. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances may adversely affect a junk bond issuer's ability to make principal and interest payments. Rising interest rates tend to lower the value of all bonds. High-yield bonds issued by foreign entities have greater potential risks, including less regulation, currency fluctuations, economic instability and political developments.

The fund may be subject to the same types of risks associated with direct ownership of real estate including the decline of property value due to general, local and regional economic conditions.

International investing may involve certain risks, including currency fluctuations, risks associated with possible differences in financial accounting standards and other monetary and political risks. Significant levels of foreign taxes, including potentially confiscatory levels of taxation and withholding taxes, may also apply to some foreign investments.

The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% for Class A and Class T shares, 4.50% for Class E shares, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year and eliminated thereafter for Class B and Class F shares and 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The "without sales charge" returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower.

The tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.

The returns for Class E and Class F shares include the returns of Class A shares (for Class E shares) and Class B shares (for Class F shares) of the fund for periods prior to September 22, 2006, the date on which Class E and Class F shares were initially offered by the fund. The returns for Class A and Class B shares include the returns of Prime A shares (for Class A shares) and Prime B shares (for Class B shares) of the Galaxy Equity Growth Fund for periods prior to November 18, 2002, the date on which Class A and Class B shares were initially offered by the fund. The returns shown for Class A and Class B shares also include the returns of Retail A shares of the Galaxy Equity Growth Fund (adjusted, as necessary, to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class A shares and Class B shares, respectively) for periods prior to the date of inception of Prime A and Prime B shares (November 1, 1998). Class E and Class F shares general ly would have had substantially similar returns to Class A and Class B shares, respectively. Class A and Class B shares generally would have had substantially similar returns to Prime A shares, Prime B shares and Retail A shares because they would have been invested in the same portfolio of securities, although returns would have been lower to the extent that expenses for Class A and Class B shares exceed expenses paid by Prime A shares, Prime B shares, respectively, or Retail A shares. The returns shown for Class C shares include the returns of Prime B shares of the Galaxy Equity Growth Fund (adjusted to reflect the sales charge applicable to Class C shares) for periods prior to November 18, 2002, the date on which Class C shares were initially offered by the fund. The returns shown for Class C shares also include the returns of Retail A shares of the Galaxy Equity Growth Fund (adjusted to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class C shares) for periods prior to the date of inception of Prime B shares (N ovember 1, 1998). Class C shares generally would have had substantially similar returns because they would have been invested in the same portfolio of securities, although the returns would have been lower to the extent that expenses for Class C shares exceed expenses paid by Retail A shares and Prime B shares. The returns for Class T shares include the returns of Retail A shares of the Galaxy Equity Growth Fund for periods prior to November 18, 2002, the date on which Class T shares were initially offered by the fund. Retail A shares were initially offered on December 14, 1990. The returns for Class Z shares include returns of Trust shares of the Galaxy Equity Growth Fund for periods prior to November 18, 2002, the date on which Class Z shares were initially offered by the fund. Trust shares of the Galaxy Equity Growth Fund were initially offered on December 14, 1990.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund

Estimating your actual expenses

To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:

^g For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.

1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.

Portfolio Managers' Report – Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund

For the 12-month period that ended September 30, 2008, the fund's Class A shares returned negative 21.73% without sales charge. The fund's return was lower than that of its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which returned negative 20.88%, but it held up better than the average return of its peer group, the Lipper Large Cap Growth Funds Classification, which was negative 22.95%. While the fund's return was negative, we continued to keep it diversified across sectors while maintaining a balance between defensive stocks, such as health care, and cyclical stocks, including industrial and energy.

Technology and financial stocks among biggest detractors

Stock selection within technology, the largest sector in the Russell index and the fund, detracted from the fund's performance, largely because of expectations that spending on technology by businesses and consumers will fall given the weakening economy. Two of the biggest detractors were Apple, Inc. and Cisco Systems, Inc. Apple had held up well until earlier this year as people continued to buy its computers, iPhones and iPod music players. However, concerns about declining consumer spending began to take their toll on the stock late in the period. Prospects for a weak economy also translated into lower expectations for corporate spending on information technology, including the communications equipment that Cisco makes.

Another area of weakness was financial services. Two of the weakest stocks were Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and Lazard Ltd. Both companies are active in the mergers and acquisition market, which has all but dried up over the past several months. We sold Lazard during the period, but we kept a modest position in Goldman. Another underperformer was American Express Co. In spite of growing weakness in the consumer sector, we had expected that this company, which caters to the higher end of that market, would hold up better than it did. We sold the stock during the period.

Biotechnology and industrial stocks made positive contributions

Several stocks made positive contributions to the fund's relative returns, including certain biotechnology and industrial companies. In biotechnology, Amgen, Inc. was one of the top contributors, particularly after it reported positive news from a study of a drug to treat osteoporosis. Genentech, Inc. was another good performer in the biotechnology sector. Its stock rose sharply when a major pharmaceutical company that already owns part of Genentech announced plans to acquire the rest of the firm. Also, Express Scripts, Inc., a pharmacy benefit manager, performed well. The company primarily uses generic drugs, which are quite profitable, to fill many of its prescriptions.

Stock selection also helped in the industrials area. There, two of the biggest contributors were Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd. and First Solar, Inc. Demand for solar power has been growing, but the technology remains expensive. However, companies such as First Solar have figured out ways to eliminate some steps in the manufacturing process, which has meant lower costs and prices. We sold Suntech before the end of the period.

Finally, even in the face of slowing consumer spending, a number of consumer stocks did well. Retailer Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. benefited from consumer demand for low-priced items. McDonald's Corp., the fast-food restaurant chain, attracted diners by offering good value. Also, H.J. Heinz Co., which is best known for its ketchup, has gained competitively with successful product and packaging strategies.

Looking ahead

We plan to continue to look for profitable companies with low debt, regardless of what is happening in the markets. We believe that this approach is especially attractive in the current environment, because companies that rely on borrowing to run their businesses may continue to struggle until the credit markets improve. We target high-growth companies that have strong cash flow to help fund growth by spending on research and development, new products and marketing—all of which could help them gain market share. As a result, we believe that the companies in the portfolio have the potential to come out of this difficult period in a stronger and more competitive position.

Equity investments are affected by stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments.

Investing in growth stocks incurs the possibility of losses because their prices are sensitive to changes in current or expected earnings.

For the 12-month period that ended September 30, 2008, the fund's Class A shares returned negative 26.09% without sales charge. The fund fell behind both its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, which returned negative 23.56%,¹ and the negative 23.80% average return of the Lipper Large Cap Value Funds Classification.² In one of the most difficult periods for investors in recent memory, stock prices spiraled downward as a global economic slowdown, a stalled credit market and uncertainty about the extent of government measures to improve the situation weighed on investors. This environment provided little refuge for the fund or the index. Additional headwinds from holdings in the energy, telecommunications and materials sectors resulted in the fund's shortfall against its benchmark and peer group.

Rising costs, slowing demand hit key sectors

Among energy names, an emphasis on Valero Energy Corp. hurt performance as the refining company's profit margins were pressured by higher crude oil prices. In the telecommunications sector, a significant position in Sprint Nextel Corp. was detrimental to the fund's return as the popular iPhone gained market share, eating into Sprint's subscriber growth. We subsequently moved out of the position. Late in the period, several materials holdings also saw sharp declines due to growing concerns about the negative effects that the global economic slowdown may have on demand for material goods. Among these were glass container maker Owens-Illinois, Inc. and mining company Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold, Inc. Another key detractor from returns was computer hard-drive maker Seagate Technology which saw its shares decline sharply as investors worried over an inventory build-up in the sector that caused pricing competition to increase j ust as demand from personal computer manufacturers slowed.

Positioning in financials and consumer stocks boosts performance

The best performing sectors in the fund's portfolio were financials and consumer discretionary. An underweight position relative to the index in a number of the period's poorest performing financial stocks helped boost relative returns. Among these, zero or very light exposure to Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., Wachovia Corp., American International Group, Inc. and some other troubled financial names was beneficial. We sold Lehman before the end of the period. An overweight position in Wells Fargo & Co. also proved helpful to relative results as the nation's third largest bank pursued acquisitions of faltering competitors. Among consumer staples names that bolstered returns were consumer products maker Procter & Gamble Co., which has been able to pass through rising materials costs to consumers. Drugstore CVS Caremark Corp. made a successful takeover bid for West Coast drugstore operator Longs Drug Stores Corp. In the co nsumer discretionary sector, McDonald's Corp. was a top performer as consumer demand for low-cost dining options increased.

Portfolio Manager's Report (continued) – Columbia Disciplined Value Fund

Positioned for a change in market leadership

A rocky economic environment and ongoing credit crisis continue to provide a stumbling block for value investors, and particularly for those with a patient buy-and-hold approach. But, as economic shifts take place, we believe that market leadership could shift and financial quality will prove a substantial benefit once more. We believe that the fund's strategy of buying higher quality, more attractively valued companies within each economic sector has the potential to produce rewarding returns in such an environment and over longer periods of time.

Equity investments are affected by stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments.

Investments in small- and mid-cap stocks may present special risks. They tend to be more volatile and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Small-cap stocks often have narrower markets, limited financial resources and tend to be more thinly traded than stocks of larger companies.

Value stocks are securities of companies that may have experienced adverse business or industry developments or may be subject to special risks that have caused the stocks to be out of favor. The market value of a portfolio security may not meet the manager's future value assessment of such security, or may decline.

The returns for Class A and Class B shares include the returns of Prime A shares (for Class A shares) and Prime B shares (for Class B shares) of the Galaxy Growth & Income Fund for periods prior to December 9, 2002, the date on which Class A and Class B shares were initially offered by the fund. The returns shown for Class A shares and Class B shares also include the returns of Retail A shares of the Galaxy Growth & Income Fund (adjusted to reflect the sales charge applicable to Class A shares and Class B shares, respectively) for periods prior to the inception of Prime A and Prime B shares (November 1, 1998). Class A and Class B shares generally would have had substantially similar returns to Prime A and Prime B shares, respectively, and Retail A shares because they would have been invested in the same portfolio of securities, although the returns would have been lower to the extent that expenses for Class A and Class B shares exceed expenses paid by Prime A and Prime B shares, respectively, or Retail A shares. The returns shown for Class C shares include the returns of Prime B shares of the Galaxy Growth & Income Fund (adjusted to reflect the sales charge applicable to Class C shares) for periods prior to December 9, 2002, the date on which Class C shares were initially offered by the fund. The returns shown for Class C shares also include the returns of Retail A shares of the Galaxy Growth & Income Fund (adjusted to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class C shares) for periods prior to the inception of Prime B shares (November 1, 1998). Class C shares generally would have had substantially similar returns to Retail A or Prime B shares because they would have been invested in the same portfolio of securities, although the returns would have been lower to the extent that expenses for Class C shares exceed expenses paid by Retail A and Prime B shares. The returns for Class T shares include the returns of Retai l A shares of the Galaxy Growth & Income Fund for periods prior to December 9, 2002, the date on which Class T shares were initially offered by the fund. Retail A shares were initially offered on February 12, 1993. The returns for Class Z shares include returns of Trust shares of the Galaxy Growth & Income Fund for periods prior to December 9, 2002, the date on which Class Z shares were initially offered by the fund, and returns of Trust shares of the Shawmut Fund (whose shares were initially offered on December 14, 1992), for periods prior to December 14, 1995.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Contrarian Core Fund

Estimating your actual expenses

To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:

^g For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.

1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.

Portfolio Manager's Report – Columbia Contrarian Core Fund

For the 12-month period that ended September 30, 2008, Class A shares of the fund returned negative 15.35% without sales charge. The fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index,¹ returned negative 22.10% and the average return of its peer group, the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Classification, was negative 22.79% for the same period.² Although returns were disappointing on an absolute basis, the fund's contrarian stock selection enabled it to avoid some of the market's biggest problem areas during the period and helped it stem losses in a very difficult environment.

Contrarian style aids performance in rocky market

The financial markets were rocked by a credit and liquidity crisis whose scope was magnified as the year went by, and overall economic growth slowed dramatically as a consequence. Although hard evidence that the economy had entered a recession was yet to be confirmed as the reporting period ended in September, the freeze-up in lending left little doubt as to the severity of the crisis.

The fund's contrarian investment style helped mitigate losses in this difficult environment. This phenomenon was best evidenced within financial stocks, where the fund was able to avoid companies with overly leveraged balance sheets and, in fact, came out ahead on its investment in Berkshire Hathaway, Inc., which advanced over 10%. The disruptive capital-markets environment actually helped Berkshire in the sense that investors were encouraged by the likelihood that company chairman Warren Buffett would find an increasing number of opportunities with which to deploy the firm's capital. JPMorgan Chase & Co. also rose slightly for the period. Although not immune from the difficulties of the banking sector, JPMorgan is one of the industry's stronger participants and made several acquisitions, notably those of Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual, that could enhance the franchise in the intermediate to long term.

Within the health care sector, Amgen, Inc. was buoyed by a positive reception of its osteoporosis drug Denosumab, while Covidien Ltd. continued to surprise investors with its earnings momentum, justifying the fund's decision to buy at favorable prices following the company's spinoff from its parent company in 2007. Among energy stocks, the fund's investments in Apache Corp. and Devon Energy Corp. benefited from the higher oil prices that prevailed until the summer of 2008. Other winners included NIKE, Inc. and Avon Products, Inc., both of which enjoyed improvements in their competitive positions and in their international operations.

Disappointments scattered across sectors

There were a few notable disappointments for the fund during the period: the first was American Express Co., which was hit by a reduction in consumer spending, higher credit costs and higher funding costs. Although the company retains a valuable franchise, these operational hurdles led us to reduce our position in the stock during the course of the year. General Electric Co. was another disappointment. The company faced the dual hurdles of a cyclical slowdown in its industrial business and exposure to the credit crisis via its GE Finance subsidiary. Nokia also underperformed, the result of a slowdown in the handset market and loss of market share in the smart phone business.

Looking ahead

We anticipate a difficult environment for corporate earnings in the year ahead. We believe that a coordinated governmental response will be required to alleviate distress in the capital markets, and we plan to monitor that response with great interest. As our confidence in the market's foundation returns, we anticipate significant opportunities to apply our contrarian philosophy now that prices have come down so broadly. Market declines of this magnitude are often undiscriminating, and we look forward to identifying companies whose share prices have retreated but which also have the capacity to grow earnings into the potentially strong headwinds of the coming year.

On October 7, 2005, Columbia Small Cap Fund was renamed Columbia Small Cap Core Fund. Prior to November 18, 2002, the fund was named Galaxy Small Cap Value Fund, and offered Retail A, Retail B, Trust, Prime A and Prime B share classes. On that day, the fund changed its name to Liberty Small Cap Fund and began offering Class A, B, C, T and Z shares. The returns for Class A and B shares include returns of Prime A shares and Retail A shares (for Class A shares) and Prime B shares and Retail A shares (for Class B shares) of the former Galaxy Small Cap Value Fund for periods prior to the inception of Class A and Class B shares. Class C share performance information includes returns of Retail A shares of the former Galaxy Small Cap Value Fund for periods prior to the inception of Class C shares. The returns for Class T shares include the returns of Retail A shares of the Galaxy Small Cap Value Fund for periods prior to November 18, 20 02. Retail A shares were initially offered on February 12, 1993. The returns for Class Z shares include the returns of Trust shares of the Galaxy Small Cap Value Fund, for periods prior to November 18, 2002. Total returns are not restated to reflect any expense differential such as distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees between any of the share classes. Had the expense differential been reflected, the returns for the periods prior to the inception of Class A, Class B and Class C shares would have been lower.

For the 12-month period that ended September 30, 2008, the fund's Class A shares returned negative 12.86% without sales charge. The fund's benchmarks, the S&P SmallCap 600 Composite Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned negative 13.82% and negative 14.48%, respectively, for the same period.¹ The average return of the fund's peer group, the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Classification, was negative 18.73%.² The fund held up better than its benchmarks and Lipper peers, largely because it had substantially less exposure to financial services companies.

Lower exposure to financials aided performance

With financial stocks falling sharply because of a meltdown in the subprime mortgage market, which triggered a broader credit crisis, the fund's exposure to these companies was about half that of the Russell 2000 Index. While financial stocks performed well in the final three months of the period, the fund was still better off not having as much exposure to the sector for the entire 12-month period.

The fund also benefited from a well-timed shift in its energy holdings. When the price of oil was between $120 and $140 a barrel, the portfolio's energy holdings were reduced. After the price of oil peaked at $147 a barrel, then began to fall, the shift helped the fund. For example, Whiting Petroleum Corp., which had been a positive contributor to the fund, was sold out of the portfolio at about $107 per share; by the end of September, the stock was selling for about $71 per share.

The fund also benefited from news of mergers involving several companies in the portfolio. For example, Darwin Professional Underwriters, Inc., an insurance company; Excel Technologies, Inc., a manufacturer of laser systems and electro-optical components; Hilb Rogal & Hobbs Co., an insurance broker; and Datascope Corp., a medical device company, have either been merged into other companies or are in the process of being acquired at a premium.

A number of individual stocks also performed relatively well. One was Unifirst Corp., a uniform rental company that reported strong profits compared to its competition. Another was Buckle, Inc., a Nebraska-based retail clothing chain that has reported strong sales growth for many months in a row.

Information technology and industrial stocks disappointed

As a group, technology was the fund's weakest-performing sector during the period. One of the worst performers was Benchmark Electronics, Inc., a company that provides electronics manufacturing services. The company said revenue from some of its older programs declined before newer programs could make up for the shortfall. However,

Portfolio Managers' Report (continued) – Columbia Small Cap Core Fund

Benchmark still has adequate cash on hand and its earnings have been decent. As a result, it is still in the portfolio. Also, a number of industrial stocks fared poorly. For example, Consolidated Graphics Inc., one of the industry's premier printing companies, lost ground. Printing is a cyclical business, subject to swings in the economy, and as such, the industry did not fare well in an environment of slower growth. The company is well managed, and we've added to our position because we believe that it has potential for the longer term.

Looking ahead—and staying with our strategy

In spite of the market turmoil of the past 12 months, our fundamental strategy has not changed. We plan to continue to look for stocks that we think are cheap relative to their earnings power. If a stock declines and we still like the company, we're more inclined to add to the position than to sell it. The fund's portfolio turnover is low. Yet, we are cautiously looking to take advantage of new opportunities that are the result of the stock-market selloff.

Equity investments are affected by stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments.

Investments in small-cap stocks may be subject to greater volatility and price fluctuations because they may be thinly traded and less liquid than investments in larger companies.

Notes to Financial Statements – Stock Funds
September 30, 2008

Note 1. Organization

Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the "Trust") is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the following diversified funds (individually referred to as a "Fund", collectively referred to as the "Funds"), each a series of the Trust:

Columbia Asset Allocation Fund

Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund

Columbia Disciplined Value Fund

Columbia Contrarian Core Fund

Columbia Small Cap Core Fund

Effective November 14, 2008, Columbia Common Stock Fund changed its name to Columbia Contrarian Core Fund.

Investment Objectives

Columbia Asset Allocation Fund seeks total return, consisting of current income and long-term capital appreciation. Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund and Columbia Small Cap Core Fund each seek long-term capital appreciation. Columbia Disciplined Value Fund seeks total return, consisting primarily of long-term capital appreciation and secondarily of current income. Columbia Contrarian Core Fund seeks total return, consisting of long-term capital appreciation and current income.

Fund Shares

The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and each Fund offers the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class T and Class Z. Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund also offers Class E and Class F shares. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable. Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund's Class E and Class F shares and Columbia Small Cap Core Fund are closed to new investors and new accounts.

Class A, Class E and Class T shares are subject to a front-end sales charge based on the amount of initial investment. Class A and Class T shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") on shares sold within one year after purchase. Class E shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $500,000 to $5 million at the time of purchase are subject to a 1.00% CDSC if the shares are sold within one year after purchase. Class B and Class F shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B and Class F shares will generally convert to Class A and Class E shares, respectively, eight years after purchase. Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares sold within one year after purchase. Class Z shares are offered conti nuously at net asset value. There are certain restrictions on the purchase of Class Z shares, as described in each Fund's prospectus.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

Security Valuation

Equity securities and securities of certain investment companies are valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the closing bid price on such exchanges or over-the-counter markets.

Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees, based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation. Certain debt securities, which tend to be more thinly traded and of lesser quality, are priced based on fundamental analysis of the financial condition of the issuer and the estimated value of any collateral. Valuations developed through pricing techniques may vary from the actual amounts realized upon sale of the

100

Stock Funds, September 30, 2008 (continued)

securities, and the potential variation may be greater for those securities valued using fundamental analysis.

Short-term debt obligations maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

Options are valued at the last reported sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the mean between the last quoted bid and ask price.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies.

Foreign securities are generally valued at the last sale price on the foreign exchange or market on which they trade. If any foreign share prices are not readily available as a result of limited share activity, the securities are valued at the last sale price of the local shares in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded.

Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). The values of such securities used in computing the net asset values of the Funds' shares are determined as of such times. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 4:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. Occasionally events affecting the values of such foreign securities and such exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE, which would not be reflected in the computation of the Funds' net asset values. If events materially affecting the values of such foreign securities occur and it is determined that market quotations are not reliable, then these foreign securities will be valued at their fair value using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value securities principally traded in foreign markets in order to adjust for possible stale pricing that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time for valuation. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. If a security is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security.

In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"), was issued. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is evaluating the impact the application of SFAS 157 will have on each Fund's financial statement disclosures.

Security Transactions

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.

In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 ("SFAS 161"), was issued. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires additional discussion about the reporting entity's derivative instruments and hedging activities, by providing for qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative data about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative contracts, and details of credit-risk-related contingent features in their hedged positions. Management is evaluating the impact the application of SFAS 161 will have on the Funds' financial statement disclo sures.

Futures Contracts

The Funds may invest in futures for both hedging and non-hedging purposes, including, for example, to seek to enhance returns or as a substitute for a position in an underlying asset.

The use of futures contracts involves certain risks, which include: (1) imperfect correlation between the price movement of the instruments and the underlying securities, (2) inability to close out positions due to differing trading hours, or the temporary absence of a liquid market, for either the instruments or the underlying securities, or (3) an inaccurate prediction by Columbia Management Advisors, LLC ("Columbia"), the Funds' investment advisor, of the future direction of interest rates. Any of these risks may involve amounts exceeding the variation margin recorded in the Funds' Statements of Assets and Liabilities at any given time.

101

Stock Funds, September 30, 2008 (continued)

Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund pledges cash or securities with the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by a Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and offset in unrealized gains or losses. A Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires.

Options

Each Fund may write call and put options on securities it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase a Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease a Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against the amounts paid on the underlying security transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. Each Fund, as a writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying security may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. There is the risk that the Funds may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. The Funds' custodian will set aside cash or liquid portfolio securities equal to the amount of the written options contract commitment in a segregated account.

Each Fund may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase a Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease a Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. The Funds may pay a premium, which is included in the Funds' Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised are added to the amounts paid (call) or offset against the proceeds (put) on the underlying security transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. If a Fund enters into a closing transaction, the Fund will realize a gain or loss, depending on whether the proceeds from the closing trans action are greater or less than the cost of the option.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are agreements to exchange one currency for another at a future date at a specified price. These contracts are used to minimize the exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations during the period between trade and settlement date of the contract. Certain Funds may utilize forward foreign currency exchange contracts in connection with the settlement of purchases and sales of securities. Certain Funds may also enter into these contracts to hedge certain other foreign currency denominated assets. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are generally used to hedge the Funds' investments against currency fluctuations. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued daily at the current exchange rate of the underlying currency, resulting in unrealized gains (losses) which become realized at the time the forward foreign cu rrency exchange contracts are closed or mature. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) arising from such transactions are included in net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the prices of the Funds' portfolio securities. While the maximum potential loss from such contracts is the aggregate face value in U.S. dollars at the time the contract was opened, exposure is typically limited to the change in value of the contract (in U.S. dollars) over the period it remains open. The Funds could also be exposed to risk that counterparties of the contracts may be unable to fulfill the terms of the contracts.

Repurchase Agreements

Each Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that Columbia has determined are creditworthy. Each Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Columbia is responsible for determining that the collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions on each Fund's ability to

102

Stock Funds, September 30, 2008 (continued)

dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Funds seek to assert their rights.

Delayed Delivery Securities

Each Fund may trade securities on other than normal settlement terms, including securities purchased or sold on a "when-issued" basis. This may increase the risk if the other party to the transaction fails to deliver and causes the Funds to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. Each Fund holds until the settlement date, in a segregated account, cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.

Treasury Inflation Protected Securities

Columbia Asset Allocation Fund may invest in treasury inflation protected securities ("TIPS"). The principal amount of TIPS is adjusted periodically for inflation based on a monthly published index. Interest payments are based on the inflation-adjusted principal at the time the interest is paid. These adjustments are recorded as interest income on the Statements of Operations.

Foreign Currency Transactions

The values of all assets and liabilities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at that day's exchange rates. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes.

For financial statement purposes, the Funds do not distinguish that portion of gains (losses) on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments on the Statements of Operations.

Income Recognition

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted. Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded on the ex-date except for certain foreign securities which are recorded as soon after the ex-date as the Funds become aware of such, net of any non-reclaimable tax withholdings. Awards from class action litigation are recorded as a reduction of cost if the Funds still own the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Funds no longer own the applicable securities, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains. Distributions received from real estate investment trusts (REITs) in excess of their income are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the related investments. If the Funds no longer own the applicable securities, any distributions received in excess of income are recorded as realized gains.

Expenses

General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Funds and other series of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to such Fund.

Determination of Class Net Asset Value

All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, as shown on the Statements of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Funds on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.

Federal Income Tax Status

Each Fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its tax-exempt or taxable income, if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, each Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that each Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.

Distributions to Shareholders

Distributions from net investment income for Columbia Asset Allocation Fund and Columbia Disciplined Value Fund, if any, are declared and distributed quarterly. Distributions from net investment income for Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund,

103

Stock Funds, September 30, 2008 (continued)

Columbia Contrarian Core Fund and Columbia Small Cap Core Fund, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually for all Funds. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.

Indemnification

In the normal course of business, each Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. A Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because this would involve future claims against a Fund. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and by contract, the Trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of actions relating to their duties to the Trust. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss due to these representations, warranties and indemnities to be minimal.

Note 3. Federal Tax Information

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to each Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under income tax regulations.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, permanent book and tax basis differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for net operating losses, foreign currency transactions, Section 988 bond bifurcation, redemption based payments treated as dividends paid deduction, paydown reclassifications, passive foreign investment company (PFIC) adjustments, distribution reclassifications, redemption in-kind capital gains, regulatory settlement agreements and market discount adjustments were identified and reclassified among the components of the Funds' net assets as follows:

	Undistributed (Overdistributed) Net Investment Income			Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss)			Paid-In Capital
Columbia Asset Allocation Fund	$	(160,024	)	$	160,024		$	—
Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund		985,493			103,693			(1,089,186	)
Columbia Disciplined Value Fund		(83,332	)		83,332			—
Columbia Contrarian Core Fund		(100,503	)		100,504			(1	)
Columbia Small Cap Core Fund		3,907,849			(18,021,697	)		14,113,848

Net investment income and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed on the Statements of Operations, and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 was as follows:

	September 30, 2008
	Ordinary Income*		Long-Term Capital Gains
Columbia Asset Allocation Fund	$	16,866,926	$	18,874,251
Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund		45,787,868		84,902,930
Columbia Disciplined Value Fund		30,074,083		33,058,052
Columbia Contrarian Core Fund		4,007,433		38,235,728
Columbia Small Cap Core Fund		15,046,065		202,806,013

104

Stock Funds, September 30, 2008 (continued)

	September 30, 2007
	Ordinary Income*		Long-Term Capital Gains
Columbia Asset Allocation Fund	$	11,955,479	$	18,736,465
Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund		2,687,241		28,705,826
Columbia Disciplined Value Fund		16,400,131		29,667,946
Columbia Contrarian Core Fund		5,594,148		30,498,492
Columbia Small Cap Core Fund		11,054,727		133,824,617

* For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.

As of September 30, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

	Undistributed Ordinary Income		Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains		Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)*
Columbia Asset Allocation Fund	$	43,975	$	—	$	(12,302,407	)
Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund		2,727,575		—		(52,048,165	)
Columbia Disciplined Value Fund		321,631		—		(22,050,952	)
Columbia Contrarian Core Fund		1,954,801		—		23,687,141
Columbia Small Cap Core Fund		—		51,248,182		8,632,442

* The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation are primarily due to deferral of losses from wash sales, PFIC adjustments, discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities and identified straddle loss deferrals.

Unrealized appreciation and depreciation at September 30, 2008, based on cost of investments for federal income tax purposes, excluding any unrealized appreciation and depreciation from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates, were:

	Unrealized Appreciation		Unrealized Depreciation			Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)
Columbia Asset Allocation Fund	$	15,275,281	$	(27,577,688	)	$	(12,302,407	)
Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund		94,130,298		(146,178,463	)		(52,048,165	)
Columbia Disciplined Value Fund		31,629,520		(53,680,472	)		(22,050,952	)
Columbia Contrarian Core Fund		44,927,455		(21,240,314	)		23,687,141
Columbia Small Cap Core Fund		141,290,366		(132,657,924	)		8,632,442

The following capital loss carryforwards, determined as of September 30, 2008, may be available to reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code:

	Year of Expiration
	2009		2010		2011		Total
Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund	$	66,817,318	$	75,033,010	$	5,529,590	$	147,379,918
Columbia Contrarian Core Fund		—		1,963,275		—		1,963,275

105

In addition, the acquiring fund, Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund, utilized carryforwards of $20,244,176 to offset current year gains. The availability of a portion of the remaining capital loss carryforwards from the Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund may be limited in a given year.

Under current tax rules, certain currency and capital losses realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. As of September 30, 2008, Columbia Asset Allocation Fund, Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund and Columbia Disciplined Value Fund had post-October capital losses of $8,634,566, $35,595,157 and $46,767,021, respectively, attributed to security transactions which were deferred to October 1, 2008.

Under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48"), management determines whether a tax position of the Funds is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management has evaluated the known implications of FIN 48 on its computation of net assets for each Fund. As a result of this evaluation, management has concluded that FIN 48 did not ha ve any effect on the Funds' financial statements. However, management's conclusions regarding FIN 48 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, further implementation guidance from the FASB, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). The Funds' federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

The aggregate fee per Fund will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). The Funds also reimburse State Street for certain out-of-pocket ex penses and charges.

The Funds have entered into a Pricing and Bookkeeping Oversight and Services Agreement (the "Services Agreement") with Columbia. Under the Services Agreement, Columbia provides services related to Fund expenses and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and provides oversight of the accounting and financial reporting services provided by State Street.

Transfer Agent Fee

Columbia Management Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent"), an affiliate of Columbia and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BOA, provides shareholder services to the Funds and has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services ("BFDS") to serve as sub-transfer agent. The Transfer Agent is entitled to receive a fee for its services, paid monthly, at the annual rate of $17.34 per open account plus reimbursement of certain sub-transfer agent fees paid by the Transfer Agent (exclusive of BFDS fees), calculated based on assets held in omnibus accounts and intended to recover the cost of payments to other parties (including affiliates of BOA) for services to those accounts. Prior to November 1, 2007, the annual rate was $17.00 per open account. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Funds. The Transfer Agent may also retain, as additio nal compensation for its services, fees for wire, telephone and redemption orders, Individual Retirement Account ("IRA") trustee agent fees and account transcript fees due to the Transfer Agent from shareholders of the Funds and credits (net of bank charges) earned with respect to balances in accounts the Transfer Agent maintains in connection with its services to the Funds. The Transfer Agent also receives reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses.

An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below each Fund's initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statements of Operations. For the year ended September 30, 2008, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses as follows:

	Minimum Account Balance Fees

The Funds may pay distribution and service (12b-1) fees at the maximum annual rate of 0.35% of each Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares (comprised of up to 0.10% for distribution services and up to 0.25% for shareholder services), but limited such fees to an aggregate of not more than 0.25% for Class A shares during the current fiscal year. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the distribution and service fees were 0.00% and 0.25%, respectively, of each Fund's average daily net assets.

Shareholder Services Fees

The Funds have adopted a shareholder services plan that permits them to pay for certain services provided to Class T shareholders by service organizations. The Funds may pay shareholder services fees (which are included in other expenses) of up to 0.25% of each Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares for shareholder liaison services and up to 0.25% of each Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares for administrative support services, provided, however, that the aggregate fee shall not exceed 0.30% of each Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the shareholder services fee was 0.30% of each Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares.

Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements

Columbia and/or some of the Funds' other services providers have voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse Columbia Contrarian Core Fund for certain expenses so that total expenses (exclusive of distribution and service fees, brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but inclusive of custodial charges relating to overdrafts, if any), after giving effect to any balance credits from the Fund's custodian, will not exceed 0.89% of the Fund's average daily net assets. This arrangement may be modified or terminated by Columbia at any time.

Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees

All officers of the Funds are employees of Columbia or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Funds. The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Funds, along with other affiliated funds, pay their pro-rata share of the expenses associated with the

109

Stock Funds, September 30, 2008 (continued)

Chief Compliance Officer. Each Fund's expenses for the Chief Compliance Officer will not exceed $15,000 per year.

The Trust's eligible Trustees may participate in a deferred compensation plan which may be terminated at any time. Obligations of the plan will be paid solely out of the Funds' assets.

As a result of fund mergers, certain Funds assumed the liabilities of the deferred compensation plan of the acquired fund. The deferred compensation plan of the acquired fund may be terminated at any time. Any payments to plan participants are paid solely out of the Fund's assets.

Note 5. Custody Credits

Each Fund has an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may be reduced by balance credits. These credits are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statements of Operations. The Funds could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if they had not entered into such an agreement.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, these custody credits reduced total expenses as follows:

	Custody Credits
Columbia Asset Allocation Fund	$	7,650
Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund		4,257
Columbia Disciplined Value Fund		419
Columbia Contrarian Core Fund		375

Note 8. Regulatory Settlements

As of September 30, 2008, Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund was entitled to receive payments of $1,089,186 relating to certain regulatory settlements the Fund had participated in during the year. The payments have been included in "Increase from regulatory settlements" on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Note 9. Line of Credit

The Funds and other affiliated funds participated in a $350,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit and a $150,000,000 uncommitted, unsecured line of credit,

110

Stock Funds, September 30, 2008 (continued)

both provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.

Interest on the committed line of credit is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds. Interest on the uncommitted line of credit is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.375%. State Street charges an annual operations agency fee of $40,000 for the committed line of credit and may charge an annual administration fee of $15,000 for the uncommitted line of credit. The commitment fee, the operations agency fee and the administration fee are accrued and apportioned among the participating funds pro rata based on their relative net assets.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, the average daily loan balance outstanding on days where borrowing existed, and the weighted average interest rate of each Fund were as follows:

	Average Borrowings		Weighted Average Interest Rate
Columbia Disciplined Value Fund	$	1,687,500		3.48	%
Columbia Contrarian Core Fund		1,000,000		2.69

Note 10. Securities Lending

Each Fund may lend its securities to certain approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Each loan is collateralized by cash, in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned plus accrued income from the investment of collateral. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. The collateral received is invested and the income generated by the investment of the collateral, net of any fees remitted to State Street as the lending agent and borrower rebates, is paid to the Funds. Generally, in the event of borrower default, the Funds have the right to use the collateral to offset any losses incurred. In the event the Funds are delayed or prevented from exercising their right to dispose of the collateral, there may be a potential loss to the Funds. The Funds bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral.

Note 11. Shares of Beneficial Interest

As of September 30, 2008, the Funds had shareholders whose shares were beneficially owned by participant accounts over which BOA and/or any of its affiliates had either sole or joint investment discretion. The percentages of shares of beneficial interest outstanding held therein are as follows:

	% of Shares Outstanding Held
Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund		28.3
Columbia Disciplined Value Fund		52.7
Columbia Contrarian Core Fund		19.9
Columbia Small Cap Core Fund		29.5

As of September 30, 2008, the Columbia Small Cap Core Fund had one shareholder that held 8.7% of the shares outstanding over which BOA and/or any of its affiliates did not have investment discretion.

Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Funds.

Note 12. Significant Risks and Contingencies

Sector Focus Risk

Certain Funds may focus their investments in certain sectors, subjecting them to greater risk than a fund that is less focused.

High-Yield Securities Risk

Investing in high-yield securities may involve greater credit risk and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. Government bonds and other higher quality fixed income securities. These securities are non-investment grade securities, often referred to as "junk" bonds. Economic downturns may disrupt the high yield market and impair the ability of issuers to repay principal and interest. Also, an increase in interest rates would likely have an adverse impact on the value of such obligations. Moreover, high-yield securities may be less liquid to the extent that there is no established secondary market.

111

Stock Funds, September 30, 2008 (continued)

Foreign Securities Risk

There are certain additional risks involved when investing in foreign securities. These risks may involve foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, adverse political and economic developments and the possible prevention of currency exchange or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the liquidity of foreign securities may be more limited than that of domestic securities.

Investments in emerging market countries are subject to additional risk. The risk of foreign investments is typically increased in less developed countries. These countries are also more likely to experience high levels of inflation, deflation or currency devaluation which could hurt their economies and securities markets.

Asset-Backed Securities Risk

Investing in asset-backed securities is subject to certain risks. For example, the value of asset-backed securities may be affected by, among other factors, changes in: interest rates, the market's assessment of the quality of underlying assets, the creditworthiness of the servicer for the underlying assets, information concerning the originator of the underlying assets, or the creditworthiness or rating of the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds, derivative instruments, or other credit enhancement. The value of asset-backed securities also will be affected by the exhaustion, termination or expiration of any credit enhancement.

Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk

The value of the mortgage-backed securities may be affected by changes in interest rates, factors concerning the interests in and structure of the issuer or the originator of the mortgages, the creditworthiness of the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds or other credit enhancements or the quality of the underlying assets or the market's assessment thereof. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is the possibility that the underlying mortgage may be refinanced or prepaid prior to maturity during periods of declining or low interest rates, causing a Fund to have to reinvest the money received in securities that have lower yields. In addition, the impact of prepayments on the value of mortgage-backed securities may be difficult to predict and may result in greater volatility.

Legal Proceedings

On February 9, 2005, Columbia Management Advisors, Inc. (which has since merged into Banc of America Capital Management, LLC (now named Columbia Management Advisors, LLC)) ("Columbia") and Columbia Funds Distributor, Inc. (which has been renamed Columbia Management Distributors, Inc.) (the "Distributor") (collectively, the "Columbia Group") entered into an Assurance of Discontinuance with the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") (the "NYAG Settlement") and consented to the entry of a cease-and-desist order by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") (the "SEC Order") on matters relating to mutual fund trading.

Under the terms of the SEC Order, the Columbia Group agreed, among other things, to: pay $70 million in disgorgement and $70 million in civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures; retain an independent consultant to review the Columbia Group's applicable supervisory, compliance, control and other policies and procedures; and retain an independent distribution consultant (see below). The Columbia Funds have also voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of their boards of trustees. The NYAG Settlement also, among other things, requires Columbia and its affiliates to reduce management fees for certain Columbia Funds (including the former Nations Funds) and other mutual funds collectively by $32 million per year f or five years, for a projected total of $160 million in management fee reductions.

Pursuant to the procedures set forth in the SEC Order, the $140 million in settlement amounts described above is being distributed in accordance with a distribution plan that was developed by an independent distribution consultant and approved by the SEC on April 6, 2007. Distributions under the distribution plan began in late June 2007.

A copy of the SEC Order is available on the SEC website at http://www.sec.gov. A copy of the NYAG Settlement is available as part of the Bank of America Corporation Form 8-K filing on February 10, 2005.

In connection with the events described above, various parties have filed suit against certain funds, the Trustees of the

112

Stock Funds, September 30, 2008 (continued)

Columbia Funds, FleetBoston Financial Corporation and its affiliated entities and/or Bank of America and its affiliated entities.

On February 20, 2004, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred these cases and cases against other mutual fund companies based on similar allegations to the United States District Court in Maryland for consolidated or coordinated pretrial proceedings (the "MDL"). Subsequently, additional related cases were transferred to the MDL. On September 29, 2004, the plaintiffs in the MDL filed amended and consolidated complaints. One of these amended complaints is a putative class action that includes claims under the federal securities laws and state common law, and that names Columbia, the Distributor, the Trustees of the Columbia Funds, Bank of America Corporation and others as defendants. Another of the amended complaints is a derivative action purportedly on behalf of the Columbia Funds that asserts claims under federal securities laws and state common law.

On February 25, 2005, Columbia and other defendants filed motions to dismiss the claims in the pending cases. On March 1, 2006, for reasons stated in the court's memoranda dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted in part and denied in part the defendants' motions to dismiss. The court dismissed all of the class action claims pending against the Columbia Funds Trusts. As to Columbia and the Distributor, the claims under the Securities Act of 1933, the claims under Sections 34(b) and 36(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("ICA") and the state law claims were dismissed. The claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and claims under Section 36(b) of the ICA were not dismissed.

On March 21, 2005, a purported class action was filed in Massachusetts state court alleging that certain conduct, including market timing, entitled Class B shareholders in certain Columbia funds to an exemption from contingent deferred sales charges upon early redemption ("the CDSC Lawsuit"). The CDSC Lawsuit was removed to federal court in Massachusetts and transferred to the MDL.

On September 14, 2007, the plaintiffs and the Columbia defendants named in the MDL, including the Columbia Funds, entered into a stipulation of settlement with respect to all Columbia-related claims in the MDL described above, including the CDSC Lawsuit. The settlement is subject to court approval.

In 2004, the Columbia Funds' adviser and distributor and certain affiliated entities and individuals were named as defendants in certain purported shareholder class and derivative actions making claims, including claims under the Investment Company and the Investment Advisers Acts of 1940 and state law. Certain Columbia Funds were named as nominal defendants. The suits allege, inter alia, that the fees and expenses paid by the funds are excessive and that the advisers and their affiliates inappropriately used fund assets to distribute the funds and for other improper purposes. On March 2, 2005, the actions were consolidated in the Massachusetts federal court as In re Columbia Entities Litigation. The plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint on June 9, 2005. On November 30, 2005, the judge dismissed all claims by plaintiffs and entered final judgment in favor of the defendants. The plaintiffs appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on December 30, 2005. A stipulation and settlement agreement dated January 19, 2007 was filed in the First Circuit on February 14, 2007, with a joint stipulation of dismissal and motion for remand to obtain district court approval of the settlement. That joint motion was granted and the appeal was dismissed. On March 6, 2007, the case was remanded to the District Court. The settlement, approved by the District Court on September 18, 2007, became effective October 19, 2007. Pursuant to the settlement, the funds' adviser and/or its affiliates made certain payments, including plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and costs of notice to class members.

Note 13. Subsequent Event

On October 16, 2008 the uncommitted and committed lines of credit discussed in Note 8 were terminated and amended, respectively. The Funds and other affiliated funds now participate in a $280,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit. The maximum amount that may be borrowed by any fund is limited to the lesser of $200,000,000 and a Fund's borrowing limit set forth in a Fund's registration statement. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% and the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 0.50%. In addition, an annual operations agency fee of $20,000, an amendment fee of 0.02% and a commitment fee of 0.12% per annum are accrued and apportioned among the participating funds pro rata based on their relative net assets.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees and the Shareholders of Columbia Funds Series Trust I

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolios, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Columbia Asset Allocation Fund, Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund, Columbia Disciplined Value Fund, Columbia Contrarian Core Fund (formerly Columbia Common Stock Fund) and Columbia Small Cap Core Fund (constituting part of Columbia Funds Series Trust I, hereafter collectively referred to as the "Funds") at September 30, 2008, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These fina ncial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Equity Style

LOGO

The Morningstar Style Box reveals a fund’s investment strategy. For equity funds the vertical axis shows the market capitalization of the stocks owned, and the horizontal axis shows investment style (value, blend or growth). All of these numbers are drawn from the data most recently provided by the fund and entered into Morningstar’s database as of month end. Although the data is gathered from reliable sources, Morningstar cannot guarantee completeness and accuracy. Information shown is as of 06/30/08.

Summary

For the 12-month period that ended September 30, 2008, the fund’s Class A shares returned negative 19.06% without sales charge.

In a difficult market environment, the fund held up better than its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index,¹ and the average return of its peer group, the Lipper Equity Income Funds Classification.² The fund’s dividend distribution rose 15% during the period.

A large commitment to consumer staples and reduced exposure to energy and materials companies helped comparative results.

Portfolio Management

Scott L. Davis has co-managed the fund since November 2001 and has been with the advisor or its predecessors or affiliate organizations since 1985.

Richard Dahlberg has co-managed the fund since October 2003 and has been with the advisor or its predecessors or affiliate organizations since 2003.

Economic Update – Columbia Dividend Income Fund

The pace of economic growth slowed during the 12-month period that began October 1, 2007 and ended September 30, 2008 as a growing number of factors weighed on consumers and businesses alike. The economy stayed clear of a recession, with an uptick in growth in the first half of 2008. However, it was widely expected that growth would slow to zero or negative near the end of the period as the most severe housing downturn in decades showed no sign of abating and job growth continued to slide. Inventories of homes for sale rose, home prices declined and tighter credit standards, the result of continued turmoil in the subprime mortgage market, made it more difficult for homebuyers to qualify for loans. Food prices rose, raising concerns about inflation, and energy prices soared to record highs before backing down sharply in the last months of the period. Consumer confidence declined sharply through June, then improved modestly in August and September. However, The Conference Board’s consumer confidence survey revealed that consumer appraisal of the economic environment continues to erode. Consumer confidence is surveyed monthly by The Conference Board.

In an effort to inspire confidence in the capital markets, loosen the reins on credit and shore up economic growth, the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) brought a key short-term rate — the federal funds rate — down from 4.75% to 2.0% during the 12-month period. After seven rate cuts, the Fed remains concerned about inflation; but a weak economic outlook began to shift its priorities.¹

Stocks retreat as economic storm clouds gather

Against a shifting economic backdrop, the U.S. stock market lost 21.98% for the 12-month period, as measured by the S&P 500 Index. Small-cap stocks held up better than large- and mid-cap stocks, as measured by their respective Russell indices.² Value stocks held up better than growth stocks in the small- and mid-cap range while growth stocks lost less than value stocks among large caps. As the dollar rebounded modestly against the euro, investors reaped even lower returns from investments outside the U.S. The MSCI EAFE Index, a broad gauge of stock market performance in foreign developed markets, lost 30.50% (in U.S. dollars) for the period. Emerging stock markets, which have had a strong run over the past several years, were also caught in the downdraft. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned negative 33.01% (in U.S. dollars).³

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees. Class R shares are sold at net asset value with distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees. Class R and Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Please see the fund’s prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.

The tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.

Class A, Class B and Class C are newer classes of shares. Their performance information includes returns of Retail A Shares (for Class A) and Retail B Shares (for Class B and Class C) of the Galaxy Strategic Equity Fund (the “Galaxy Fund”) for periods prior to November 25, 2002, the date on which Class A, Class B and Class C shares were initially offered by the Fund. The returns for Class T shares include the returns of Retail A shares of the Galaxy Fund for periods prior to November 25, 2002, the date on which Class T shares were initially offered by the Fund. The returns for Class Z shares include returns of Trust shares of the Galaxy Fund for periods prior to November 25, 2002, the date on which Class Z shares were initially offered by the Fund. The returns have not been restated to reflect any differences in expenses between the predecessor shares and the newer classes of shares. If differences in expenses had been reflected, the returns shown for periods prior to the inception of the newer classes of shares would have been lower. Retail A Shares, Retail B Shares and Trust shares of the Galaxy Fund were initially offered on March 4, 1998. The returns for Class R shares include the returns of Class A shares prior to March 28, 2008, the date on which Class R shares commenced operations. If differences in expenses had been reflected, the returns would have been lower, since Class R shares are subject to higher distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Dividend Income Fund

Estimating your actual expenses

To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:

For shareholders who receive their account statements from Columbia Management Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.columbiafunds.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 800.345.6611.

For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary firm to obtain your account balance.

Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.

In the section of the table below titled “Expenses paid during the period,” locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled “Actual.” Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Analyzing your fund’s expenses by share class

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “actual” column is calculated using the fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the “hypothetical” column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund’s actual operating expenses. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this period.

Compare with other funds

	Account value at the beginning of the period ($)		Account value at the end of the period ($)		Expenses paid during the period ($)		Fund’s annualized expense ratio (%)
	Actual	Hypothetical	Actual	Hypothetical	Actual	Hypothetical	Actual
Class A	1,000.00	1,000.00	905.10	1,019.75	5.00	5.30	1.05
Class B	1,000.00	1,000.00	901.50	1,016.00	8.56	9.07	1.80
Class C	1,000.00	1,000.00	901.40	1,016.00	8.56	9.07	1.80
Class R	1,000.00	1,000.00	903.90	1,018.50	6.19	6.56	1.30
Class T	1,000.00	1,000.00	904.90	1,019.50	5.24	5.55	1.10
Class Z	1,000.00	1,000.00	906.30	1,021.00	3.81	4.04	0.80

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund’s most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 366.

Had the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates not waived fees or reimbursed a portion of expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

For the 12-month period that ended September 30, 2008, the fund’s Class A shares returned negative 19.06% without sales charge. The fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index, returned negative 22.10% for the same period.¹ The average return of the fund’s peer group, the Lipper Equity Income Funds Classification, was negative 20.75%.² The fund’s Class A shares dividend distribution rose by 15% from $0.27 to $0.31.

A spreading credit crisis brought sharp declines in equity markets, with few sectors able to withstand the selling pressure. Although results were undeniably negative, the fund held up better than both its index and peer group average return thanks to its larger stakes in such consumer basics as tobacco, food and drug makers, areas that have typically been more resilient during economic downturns. The fund had less exposure than the index in energy, materials and homebuilding, which also aided its relative return.

Consumer staples were period’s standout

As the credit crisis began to affect the broader economy, fund returns were positive among companies that make or sell products that are in demand regardless of the economy’s direction. Shares of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. climbed as the result of solid operating results and increased traffic from cash-short consumers. Food makers General Mills, Inc. and H. J. Heinz Co. reported growth in revenues and earnings. Both companies were more successful than their competitors in passing along rising costs. Among consumer discretionary holdings, continued earnings growth and a dividend increase boosted shares of McDonald’s Corp. Shares of well-capitalized bank holdings also contributed, with U.S. Bancorp, Wells Fargo & Co. and PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. all registering solid gains.

Economic woes and credit fears fueled declines

Size and stability were no protection against the market’s slide. Although General Electric Co.’s industrial businesses are moving ahead well, shares suffered a severe decline due to concerns about GE’s financing arm. AT&T, Inc. fell as a weak economy threatened earnings growth. In addition, the slump in housing starts may cut into phone installations in upcoming quarters. Nokia Oyj fell by nearly half despite outstanding operating results and increased market share as investors have grown cautious about cellphone sales in a possible global slowdown. Wachovia Corp. and Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. were caught in the powerful selloff that swept the financial sector. Hartford’s bond holdings came under scrutiny, but a capital infusion from Germany’s Allianz Bank (not in the portfolio) helped shore up its balance sheet and stabilize shares. We sold Wachovia before the end of the period.

Our decision to underweight energy companies at first seemed premature. However, that decision was rewarded when oil prices fell steeply from record levels. The fall in metals prices had little impact on fund results because of our decision to downplay materials stocks.

²	Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return (assuming reinvestment of distributions) for mutual funds with investment objectives similar to those of the fund. Lipper makes no adjustment for the effect of sales loads.

Looking ahead

We believe that the economy has the potential to break out of recessionary mode some time in 2009. The extreme volatility and severe price drops that we have seen recently may present compelling investment opportunities but markets must first work through this crisis of confidence. Well-financed companies with strong balance sheets, ample free cash flow and the ability to raise dividends tend to be superior performers over time. Falling prices have boosted dividend yields, and high dividend yields have historically presented better chances of strong returns than periods when dividends are low. While valuations appear attractive in many cases, we are taking care to avoid companies that are overextended or subject to large debt maturities in the near future.

Equity investments are affected by stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments.

Dividend payments by an issuer are not guaranteed, and are paid only when declared by an issuer’s board of directors. The amount of a dividend payment, if any, can vary over time.

Value stocks are securities of companies that may have experienced adverse business or industry developments or may be subject to special risks that have caused the stocks to be out of favor. The market value of a portfolio security may not meet the manager’s future value assessment of such security, or may decline.

Notes to Financial Statements – Columbia Dividend Income Fund

September 30, 2008

Note 1. Organization

Columbia Dividend Income Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the “Trust”), is a diversified portfolio. The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks total return, consisting of current income and capital appreciation.

Fund Shares

The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and the Fund offers five classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class T and Class Z. Class R shares commenced operations on March 28, 2008. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable. Effective August 8, 2007, the Class G shares were converted into Class T shares of the Fund.

Class A and Class T shares are subject to a front-end sales charge based on the amount of initial investment. Class A and Class T shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) on shares sold within one year after purchase. Class B shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares sold within one year after purchase. Class R and Class Z shares are offered continuously at net asset value. There are certain restrictions on the purchase of Class R and Class Z shares, as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuation

Equity securities are valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the closing bid price on such exchanges or over-the-counter markets.

Short-term debt obligations maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. If a security is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security.

In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), was issued. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is evaluating the impact the application of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

Security Transactions

In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”), was issued. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires additional discussion about the reporting entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities, by providing for qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative data about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative contracts, and details of credit-risk-related contingent features in their hedged positions. Management is evaluating the impact the application of SFAS 161 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

Columbia Dividend Income Fund

September 30, 2008

Repurchase Agreements

The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that Columbia Management Advisors, LLC (“Columbia”), the Fund’s investment advisor, has determined are creditworthy. The Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Columbia is responsible for determining that the collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays in or restrictions on the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.

Income Recognition

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded on the ex-date. Distributions received from real estate investment trusts (REITs) in excess of their income are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the related investments. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, any distributions received in excess of income are recorded as realized gains. Awards from class action litigation are recorded as a reduction of cost if the Fund still owns the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains.

Expenses

General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and the other series of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund.

Determination of Class Net Asset Value

All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, as shown on the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.

Federal Income Tax Status

The Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its tax exempt or taxable income, if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.

Distributions to Shareholders

Distributions of net investment income are declared and distributed quarterly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.

Indemnification

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because this would involve future claims against the Fund. Also, under the Trust’s organizational documents and by contract, the Trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of actions relating to their duties to the Trust. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these representations, warranties and indemnities to be minimal.

Note 3. Federal Tax Information

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under income tax regulations.

Columbia Dividend Income Fund

September 30, 2008

For the year ended September 30, 2008, permanent book and tax basis differences were identified and reclassified among the components of the Fund’s net assets as follows:



Undistributed Net Investment Income	Accumulated Net Realized Loss	Paid-In Capital
$49,006	$(809,001)	$759,995

Net investment income and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed on the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 was as follows:


	September 30, 2008		September 30, 2007
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary Income*	$	26,591,941	$	20,612,627
Long-Term Capital Gains		11,876,095		9,399,979

*	For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.

As of September 30, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:



Undistributed Ordinary Income	Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains	Net Unrealized Appreciation*
$457,717	$—	$18,485,451

*	The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation are primarily due to deferral of losses from such sales.

Unrealized appreciation and depreciation at September 30, 2008, based on cost of investments for federal income tax purposes were:



Unrealized appreciation	$	139,853,309
Unrealized depreciation		(121,367,858	)
Net unrealized appreciation	$	18,485,451



Year of Expiration	Capital Loss Carryforward
2009	$	57,057,645
2010		17,403,024
2011		1,266,110
2013		990,327
2014		2,808,003

Total	$	79,525,109

Of the capital loss carryforwards attributable to the Fund, $76,717,106 ($57,057,645 of which expires September 30, 2009, $17,403,024 of which expires September 30, 2010, $1,266,110 of which expires September 30, 2011 and $990,327 of which expires September 30, 2013)) was acquired from fund mergers. The availability of a portion of the remaining capital loss carryforwards acquired as part of a fund merger may be limited in a given year.

Capital loss carryforwards of $5,077,617 were utilized to offset current year gains. Any capital loss carryforwards acquired as part of a merger that are permanently lost due to provisions under the Internal Revenue Code are included as being expired. Expired capital loss carryforwards are recorded as a reduction of paid-in capital.

Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”) management determines whether a tax position of the Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate

Columbia Dividend Income Fund

September 30, 2008

settlement. Management has evaluated the known implications of FIN 48 on its computation of net assets for the Fund. As a result of this evaluation, management has concluded that FIN 48 did not have any effect on the Fund’s financial statements. However, management’s conclusions regarding FIN 48 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, further implementation guidance from the FASB, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). The Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Note 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates

Investment Advisory Fee

Columbia, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation (“BOA”), provides investment advisory services to the Fund. In rendering investment advisory services to the Fund, Columbia may use the portfolio management and research services of Columbia Management Pte. Ltd., an affiliate of Columbia. Columbia receives a monthly investment advisory fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets at the following annual rates:



Average Daily Net Assets		Annual Fee Rate
First $500 million		0.70%
$500 million to $1 billion		0.65%
$1 billion to $1.5 billion		0.60%
$1.5 billion to $3 billion		0.55%
$3 billion to $6 billion		0.53%
Over $6 billion		0.51%

For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund’s effective investment advisory fee rate was 0.67% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Administration Fee

Columbia provides administrative and other services to the Fund for a monthly administration fee at the annual rate of 0.067% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees

The Fund has entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the “Financial Reporting Services Agreement”) with State Street Bank & Trust Company (“State Street”) and Columbia pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. The Fund has also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the “State Street Agreements”) with State Street and Columbia pursuant to which State Street provides accounting services to the Fund. Under the State Street Agreements, the Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly plus an additional monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of average daily net assets of the Fund for the month. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). The Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges.

The Fund has entered into a Pricing and Bookkeeping Oversight and Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Columbia. Under the Services Agreement, Columbia provides services related to Fund expenses and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and provides oversight of the accounting and financial reporting services provided by State Street. Under the Services Agreement, the Fund reimburses Columbia for out-of-pocket expenses. Prior to January 1, 2008, the Fund also reimbursed Columbia for accounting oversight services, services related to Fund expenses and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, the amount charged to the Fund by affiliates included in the Statement of Operations under “Pricing and bookkeeping fees” aggregated to $3,106.

Transfer Agent Fee

Columbia Dividend Income Fund

September 30, 2008

omnibus accounts and intended to recover the cost of payments to other parties (including affiliates of BOA) for services to those accounts. Prior to November 1, 2007, the annual rate was $17.00 per open account. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund. The Transfer Agent may also retain, as additional compensation for its services, fees for wire, telephone and redemption orders, IRA trustee agent fees and account transcript fees due to the Transfer Agent from shareholders of the Fund and credits (net of bank charges) earned with respect to balances in accounts the Transfer Agent maintains in connection with its services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent also receives reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses.

An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Fund’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. For the year ended September 30, 2008, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses by $17,163.

Underwriting Discounts, Service and Distribution Fees

Columbia Management Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of Columbia and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BOA, is the principal underwriter of the Fund’s shares. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Distributor has retained net underwriting discounts of $48,889 and $1,246 on sales of the Fund’s Class A and Class T shares, respectively. For the same period, the Distributor received net CDSC fees of $347, $46,255 and $3,049 on Class A, Class B and Class C share redemptions, respectively.

The Fund has adopted Rule 12b-1 plans (the “Plans”) which require the payment of monthly service and distribution fees to the Distributor based on the average daily net assets of the applicable class of the Fund at the following annual rates:


Distribution Fee
Class A	Class B	Class C	Class R
0.10%	0.75%	0.75%	0.50%


Service Fee
Class A	Class B	Class C
0.25%	0.25%	0.25%

The Fund may pay distribution and service fees up to a maximum annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares (comprised of up to 0.10% for distribution services and up to 0.25% for shareholder services), but limited such fees to an aggregate fee of not more than 0.25% for Class A shares during the current fiscal year. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the distribution and service fees were 0.00% and 0.25%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The CDSC and the distribution fees received from the Plans are used principally as repayment to the Distributor for amounts paid by the Distributor to dealers who sold such shares.

Shareholder Services Fees

The Fund has adopted a shareholder services plan that permits it to pay for certain services provided to Class T shareholders by service organizations. The Fund may pay shareholder services fees (which are included in other expenses) of up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares for shareholder liaison services and up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares for administrative support services, provided, however, that the aggregate fee shall not exceed 0.30% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the shareholder services fee was 0.30% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares.

Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements

Columbia has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Fund for certain expenses through January 31, 2009, so that total expenses (exclusive of distribution and service fees, brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but inclusive of custodial charges relating to overdrafts, if any), after giving effect to any balance credits from the Fund’s custodian, will not exceed 0.80% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after January 31, 2009.

Columbia Dividend Income Fund

September 30, 2008

Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees

All officers of the Fund are employees of Columbia or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund. The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer. The Fund’s expenses for the Chief Compliance Officer will not exceed $15,000 per year.

The Fund’s eligible Trustees may participate in a deferred compensation plan which may be terminated at any time. Obligations of the plan will be paid solely out of the Fund’s assets.

Note 5. Custody Credits

The Fund has an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may be reduced by balance credits. These credits are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. The Fund could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if it had not entered into such an agreement.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, these custody credits reduced total expenses by $757 for the Fund.

Note 6. Portfolio Information

For the year ended September 30, 2008, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, were $192,832,000 and $175,390,757, respectively.

Note 7. Line of Credit

The Fund and other affiliated funds participate in a $350,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit and a $150,000,000 uncommitted, unsecured line of credit, both provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.

Interest on the committed line of credit is charged to each participating fund based on the fund’s borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds pro rata based on their relative net assets. Interest on the uncommitted line of credit is charged to each participating fund based on the fund’s borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.375%. State Street charges an annual operations agency fee of $40,000 for the committed line of credit and may charge an annual administration fee of $15,000 for the uncommitted line of credit. The commitment fee, the operations agency fee and the administration fee are accrued and apportioned among the participating funds pro rata based on their relative net assets.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund did not borrow under these arrangements.

Note 8. Securities Lending

The Fund may lend its securities to certain approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Each loan is collateralized by cash, in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned plus accrued income from the investment of collateral. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The collateral received is invested and the income generated by the investment of the collateral, net of any fees remitted to State Street as the lending agent and borrower rebates, is paid to the Fund. Generally, in the event of borrower default, the Fund has the right to use the collateral to offset any losses incurred. In the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral, there may be a potential loss to the Fund. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral.

Note 9. Shares of Beneficial Interest

52.7% of the Fund’s outstanding shares were beneficially owned by one participant account over which BOA and/or its affiliates had either sole or joint investment discretion.

Subscription and redemption activity of this account may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.

Note 10. Significant Risks and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

On February 9, 2005, Columbia Management Advisors, Inc. (which has since merged into Banc of America Capital

Columbia Dividend Income Fund

September 30, 2008

Management, LLC (now named Columbia Management Advisors, LLC)) (“Columbia”) and Columbia Funds Distributor, Inc. (which has been renamed Columbia Management Distributors, Inc.) (the “Distributor”) (collectively, the “Columbia Group”) entered into an Assurance of Discontinuance with the New York Attorney General (“NYAG”) (the “NYAG Settlement”) and consented to the entry of a cease-and-desist order by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (the “SEC Order”) on matters relating to mutual fund trading.

Under the terms of the SEC Order, the Columbia Group agreed, among other things, to: pay $70 million in disgorgement and $70 million in civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures; retain an independent consultant to review the Columbia Group’s applicable supervisory, compliance, control and other policies and procedures; and retain an independent distribution consultant (see below). The Columbia Funds have also voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of their boards of trustees. The NYAG Settlement also, among other things, requires Columbia and its affiliates to reduce management fees for certain Columbia Funds (including the former Nations Funds) and other mutual funds collectively by $32 million per year for five years, for a projected total of $160 million in management fee reductions.

In connection with the events described above, various parties have filed suit against certain funds, the Trustees of the Columbia Funds, FleetBoston Financial Corporation and its affiliated entities and/or Bank of America and its affiliated entities.

On February 20, 2004, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred these cases and cases against other mutual fund companies based on similar allegations to the United States District Court in Maryland for consolidated or coordinated pretrial proceedings (the “MDL”). Subsequently, additional related cases were transferred to the MDL. On September 29, 2004, the plaintiffs in the MDL filed amended and consolidated complaints. One of these amended complaints is a putative class action that includes claims under the federal securities laws and state common law, and that names Columbia, the Distributor, the Trustees of the Columbia Funds, Bank of America Corporation and others as defendants. Another of the amended complaints is a derivative action purportedly on behalf of the Columbia Funds that asserts claims under federal securities laws and state common law.

On February 25, 2005, Columbia and other defendants filed motions to dismiss the claims in the pending cases. On March 1, 2006, for reasons stated in the court’s memoranda dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted in part and denied in part the defendants’ motions to dismiss. The court dismissed all of the class action claims pending against the Columbia Funds Trusts. As to Columbia and the Distributor, the claims under the Securities Act of 1933, the claims under Sections 34(b) and 36(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“ICA”) and the state law claims were dismissed. The claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and claims under Section 36(b) of the ICA were not dismissed.

On March 21, 2005, a purported class action was filed in Massachusetts state court alleging that certain conduct, including market timing, entitled Class B shareholders in certain Columbia funds to an exemption from contingent deferred sales charges upon early redemption (“the CDSC Lawsuit”). The CDSC Lawsuit was removed to federal court in Massachusetts and transferred to the MDL.

In 2004, the Columbia Funds’ adviser and distributor and certain affiliated entities and individuals were named as

Columbia Dividend Income Fund

September 30, 2008

defendants in certain purported shareholder class and derivative actions making claims, including claims under the Investment Company and the Investment Advisers Acts of 1940 and state law. Certain Columbia Funds were named as nominal defendants. The suits allege, inter alia, that the fees and expenses paid by the funds are excessive and that the advisers and their affiliates inappropriately used fund assets to distribute the funds and for other improper purposes. On March 2, 2005, the actions were consolidated in the Massachusetts federal court as In re Columbia Entities Litigation. The plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint on June 9, 2005. On November 30, 2005, the judge dismissed all claims by plaintiffs and entered final judgment in favor of the defendants. The plaintiffs appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on December 30, 2005. A stipulation and settlement agreement dated January 19, 2007 was filed in the First Circuit on February 14, 2007, with a joint stipulation of dismissal and motion for remand to obtain district court approval of the settlement. That joint motion was granted and the appeal was dismissed. On March 6, 2007, the case was remanded to the District Court. The settlement, approved by the District Court on September 18, 2007, became effective October 19, 2007. Pursuant to the settlement, the funds’ adviser and/or its affiliates made certain payments, including plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and costs of notice to class members.

Note 11. Business Combinations and Mergers

Effective March 31, 2008, Equity Income Fund, a series of Excelsior Funds Trust, merged into Columbia Dividend Income Fund. Columbia Dividend Income Fund received a tax-free transfer of assets from Equity Income Fund as follows:



Shares Issued	Net Assets Received	Unrealized Appreciation¹
12,606,765	$168,959,491	$15,594,333


Net Assets of Columbia Dividend Income Fund Prior to Combination	Net Assets of Equity Income Fund Immediately Prior to Combination	Net Assets of Columbia Dividend Income Fund Immediately After Combination
$1,020,836,297	$168,959,491	$1,189,795,788

¹	Unrealized appreciation is included in the Net Assets Received.

Note 12. Subsequent Event

On October 16, 2008 the uncommitted and committed lines of credit discussed in Note 7 were terminated and amended, respectively. The Fund and other affiliated funds participate in a $280,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit. The maximum amount that may be borrowed by any fund is limited to the lesser of $200,000,000 and the Fund’s borrowing limit set forth in the Fund’s registration statement. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund’s borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% and the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 0.50%. In addition, an annual operations agency fee of $20,000, an amendment fee of 0.02% and a commitment fee of 0.12% per annum are accrued and apportioned among the participating funds pro rata based on their relative net assets.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and the Shareholders of Columbia Dividend Income Fund

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Columbia Dividend Income Fund (the “Fund”) (a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I) at September 30, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Summary

1-year return as of 09/30/08



		–15.83% Class A shares
		(without sales charge)

		–21.98% S&P 500 Index²

		+3.65% Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index²

Summary

For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2008, the fund’s Class A shares returned negative 15.83% without sales charge.

In a difficult environment for both stocks and bonds, the fund held up better than its peer group, the Lipper Mixed Asset Target Allocation Growth Classification.¹

The fund did well to lower its exposure to equities, especially international equities. However, below average performance by the fund’s underlying investment strategies relative to their benchmarks detracted from the fund’s return.

Economic Update – Columbia Liberty Fund

The pace of economic growth slowed during the 12-month period that began October 1, 2007 and ended September 30, 2008 as a growing number of factors weighed on consumers and businesses alike. The economy stayed clear of a recession, with an uptick in growth in the first half of 2008. However, it was widely expected that growth would slow to zero or negative near the end of the period as the most severe housing downturn in decades showed no sign of abating and job growth continued to slide. Inventories of homes for sale rose, home prices declined and tighter credit standards, the result of continued turmoil in the subprime mortgage market, made it more difficult for homebuyers to qualify for loans. Food prices rose, raising concerns about inflation, and energy prices soared to record highs before backing down sharply in the last months of the period. Consumer confidence declined sharply through June, then improved modestly in August and September. However, The Conference Board’s consumer confidence survey revealed that consumer appraisal of the economic environment continues to erode. Consumer confidence is surveyed monthly by The Conference Board.

In an effort to inspire confidence in the capital markets, loosen the reins on credit and shore up economic growth, the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) brought a key short-term rate — the federal funds rate—down from 4.75% to 2.0% during the 12-month period. After seven rate cuts, the Fed remains concerned about inflation; but a weak economic outlook began to shift its priorities.¹

Stocks retreat as economic storm clouds gather

Against a shifting economic backdrop, the U.S. stock market lost 21.98% for the 12-month period, as measured by the S&P 500 Index. Small- cap stocks held up better than large- and mid-cap stocks, as measured by their respective Russell indices.² Value stocks held up better than growth stocks in the small- and mid-cap range while growth stocks lost less than value stocks among large caps. As the dollar rebounded modestly against the Euro, investors reaped even lower returns from investments outside the U.S. The MSCI EAFE Index, a broad gauge of stock market performance in foreign developed markets, lost

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

¹	On October 8, the Fed lowered the federal funds rate to 1.5% and on October 29, the Fed lowered the federal funds rate to 1.0%.

The “without sales charge” returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees. Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Please see the fund’s prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.

The tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Liberty Fund

Analyzing your fund’s expenses by share class

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “actual” column is calculated using the fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the “hypothetical” column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund’s actual operating expenses. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this period.

Compare with other funds


04/01/08 – 09/30/08

	Account value at the beginning of the period ($)		Account value at the end of the period ($)		Expenses paid during the period ($)		Fund’s annualized expense ratio (%)
	Actual	Hypothetical	Actual	Hypothetical	Actual	Hypothetical	Actual
Class A	1,000.00	1,000.00	908.00	1,019.95	4.82	5.10	1.01
Class B	1,000.00	1,000.00	904.80	1,016.20	8.38	8.87	1.76
Class C	1,000.00	1,000.00	904.60	1,016.20	8.38	8.87	1.76
Class Z	1,000.00	1,000.00	909.40	1,021.15	3.68	3.89	0.77

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund’s most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 366.

Estimating your actual expenses

To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:

For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.

Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.

For the 12-month period that ended September 30, 2008, the fund’s Class A shares returned negative 15.83% without sales charge. The S&P 500 Index returned negative 21.98% while the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 3.65%.¹ The fund held up better than its peer group, the Lipper Mixed Asset Target Allocation Growth Classification, which averaged a return of negative 17.90%.² We believe that good portfolio positioning helped the fund’s performance relative to its peer group while disappointing performance from the portfolio’s underlying investment strategies detracted from return relative to their respective benchmarks.

Portfolio positioning helped stem losses in a difficult environment

The world’s stock markets were battered as a worldwide credit crisis and weakening economic growth undermined investor confidence. Many segments of the U.S. bond market also came under pressure. In this environment, we made some key changes to the fund’s allocations that helped stem losses and others that produced mixed results. For example, we reduced the fund’s exposure to international equities, which helped performance because international equities underperformed the U.S. stock market. Within the domestic equity portion of the portfolio, we reduced the fund’s exposure to large-cap growth stocks and added to a position in large-cap value stocks. Value generally underperformed growth during the period, which hampered returns, but the fund’s position in value stocks held up better than its benchmark. Within the fixed-income portion of the portfolio, we added to the fund’s position in investment grade bonds. The shift helped the fund capture some positive performance. Investment grade bonds were the only major market segment other than cash to generate a positive return for the period.

A period of transition for U.S. and global economies

The economic landscape weakened considerably near the end of the period as a credit crisis and rising unemployment weighed on consumer demand. However, the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury have taken steps to restore confidence in the capital markets and we believe that they will continue to pursue options to prevent a protracted economic downturn. In this environment, we believe that investors who are focused on their goals have the potential to benefit from the broad diversification offered by Columbia Liberty Fund, even though diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss.

Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for the fund may differ from that presented for other Columbia Funds.

Equity investments are affected by stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments.

Investing in fixed-income securities may involve certain risks, including the credit quality of individual issuers, possible prepayments, market or economic developments and yield and share price fluctuations due to changes in interest rates. When interest rates go up, bond prices typically drop, and vice versa.

Notes to Financial Statements – Columbia Liberty Fund

September 30, 2008

Note 1. Organization

Columbia Liberty Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the “Trust”), is a diversified portfolio. The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks total return, consisting of current income and long-term capital appreciation.

Fund Shares

The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and the Fund offers four classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable.

Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% based on the amount of initial investment. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) on shares sold within one year after purchase. Class B shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares sold within one year after purchase. Class Z shares are offered continuously at net asset value. There are certain restrictions on the purchase of Class Z shares, as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Security Valuation

Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation. Certain debt securities, which tend to be more thinly traded and of lesser quality, are priced based on fundamental analysis of the financial condition of the issuer and the estimated value of any collateral. Valuations developed through pricing techniques may vary from the actual amounts realized upon sale of the securities, and the potential variation may be greater for those securities valued using fundamental analysis

Short-term debt obligations maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

Options are valued at the last reported sale price, or in the absence of a sale, at the last quoted bid price.

Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the

Columbia Liberty Fund

September 30, 2008

Fund’s shares are determined as of such times. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 4:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. Occasionally events affecting the values of such foreign securities and such exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE, which would not be reflected in the computation of the Fund’s net asset value. If events materially affecting the values of such foreign securities occur and it is determined that market quotations are not reliable, then these foreign securities will be valued at their fair value using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Fund may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value securities principally traded in foreign markets in order to adjust for possible stale pricing that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time for valuation.

Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which Columbia believes are not reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. If a security is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security.

Security Transactions

In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, (“SFAS 161”) was issued. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires additional discussion about the reporting entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities, by providing for qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative data about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative contracts, and details of credit-risk-related contingent features in their hedged positions. Management is evaluating the impact the application of SFAS 161 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

Futures Contracts

The Fund may invest in futures for both hedging and non-hedging purposes, including, for example, to seek to enhance returns or as a substitute for a position in an underlying asset.

The use of futures contracts involves certain risks, which include: (1) imperfect correlation between the price movement of the instruments and the underlying securities, (2) inability to close out positions due to differing trading hours, or the temporary absence of a liquid market, for either the instruments or the underlying securities, or (3) an inaccurate prediction by Columbia Management Advisors, LLC (“Columbia”), the Fund’s investment advisor, of the future direction of interest rates. Any of these risks may involve amounts exceeding the variation margin recorded in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities at any given time.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund pledges cash or securities with the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires.

Options

The Fund may write call and put options on securities it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or

Columbia Liberty Fund

September 30, 2008

closed are added to the proceeds or offset against the amounts paid on the underlying security transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Fund, as a writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying security may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. There is the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. The Fund’s custodian will set aside cash or liquid portfolio securities equal to the amount of the written options contract commitment in a segregated account.

The Fund may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Fund may pay a premium, which is included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised are added to the amounts paid (call) or offset against the proceeds (put) on the underlying security to determine the realized gain or loss. If a Fund enters into a closing transaction, the Fund will realize a gain or loss, depending on whether the proceeds from the closing transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option.

Repurchase Agreements

The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that Columbia has determined are creditworthy. The Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Columbia is responsible for determining that the collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions on the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.

Foreign Currency Transactions

The values of all assets and liabilities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at that day’s exchange rates. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes.

For financial statement purposes, the Fund does not distinguish that portion of gains (losses) on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments on the Statement of Operations.

Income Recognition

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted. Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded on the ex-date except for certain foreign securities which are recorded as soon after the ex-date as the Fund becomes aware of such, net of any non-reclaimable tax withholdings. Distributions received from real estate investment trusts (REITs) in excess of their income are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the related investments. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, any distributions received in excess of income are recorded as realized gains. Awards from class action litigation are recorded as a reduction of cost if the Fund still owns the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains. The value of additional securities received as an income payment is recorded as income and as the cost basis of such securities.

Determination of Class Net Asset Value

Federal Income Tax Status

The Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income, if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.

Distributions to Shareholders

Indemnification

Note 3. Federal Tax Information

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under income tax regulations.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, permanent book and tax basis differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for paydown reclassifications, PFIC adjustments, Section 988 currency gain/loss, distribution reclassifications, market discount reclassifications and discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities were identified and reclassified among the components of the Fund’s net assets as follows:



Undistributed Net Investment Income	Accumulated Net Realized Loss	Paid-In Capital
$117,592	$(117,591)	$(1)

Net investment income and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed on the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by these reclassification.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 was as follows:


	September 30, 2008		September 30, 2007
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary Income*	$	30,729,193	$	14,676,237
Long-Term Capital Gains		36,379,034		15,438,947

*	For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.

As of September 30, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:



Undistributed Ordinary Income	Undistributed Long-term Capital Gains	Net Unrealized Depreciation*
$645,654	$—	$(19,969,729)

*	The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized (depreciation) are primarily due to deferral of losses from wash sales deferral of losses from wash sales and discount accretion/premium amortization adjustments.

Unrealized appreciation and depreciation at September 30, 2008, based on cost of investments for federal income tax purposes, were:



Unrealized appreciation	$	26,511,160
Unrealized depreciation		(46,480,889	)
Net unrealized depreciation	$	(19,969,729	)

Columbia Liberty Fund

September 30, 2008

Under current tax rules, certain losses realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. As of September 30, 2008, post-October capital losses of $12,776,596 attributed to security transactions were deferred to October 1, 2008.

Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”) management determines whether a tax position of the Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management has evaluated the known implications of FIN 48 on its computation of net assets for the Fund. As a result of this evaluation, management has concluded that FIN 48 did not have any effect on the Fund’s financial statements. However, management’s conclusions regarding FIN 48 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, further implementation guidance from the FASB, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). The Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Note 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates

Investment Advisory Fee

Columbia, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation (“BOA”), provides investment advisory services to the Fund. In rendering investment advisory services to the Fund, Columbia may use the portfolio management and research resources of Columbia Management, Pte. Ltd., an affiliate of Columbia. Columbia receives a monthly investment advisory fee based on the Fund’s average daily net asset at the following annual rates:



Average Daily Net Assets		Annual Fee Rate
First $1 billion		0.55%
$1 billion to $1.5 billion		0.50%
Over $1.5 billion		0.45%

For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Fund’s effective investment advisory fee rate was 0.55% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Sub-Advisory Fee

Nordea Investment Management North America, Inc. (“NIMNAI”) has been retained by Columbia to serve as the investment sub-advisor and to manage a portion of the Fund’s assets. As the sub-advisor, NIMNAI is responsible for daily investment operations, including placing all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for foreign stocks of the Fund. Columbia, from the investment advisory fee it receives, pays NIMNAI a monthly sub-advisory fee.

Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees

Columbia Liberty Fund

September 30, 2008

Fund reimburses Columbia for out-of-pocket expenses. Prior to January 1, 2008, the Fund also reimbursed Columbia for accounting oversight services, services related to Fund expenses and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, the amount charged to the Fund by affiliates included in the Statement of Operations under “Pricing and bookkeeping fees” aggregated to $3,106.

Transfer Agent Fee

Columbia Management Services, Inc. (the “Transfer Agent”), an affiliate of Columbia and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BOA, provides shareholder services to the Fund and has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (“BFDS”) to serve as sub-transfer agent. The Transfer Agent is entitled to receive a fee for its services, paid monthly, at the annual rate of $17.34 per open account plus reimbursement of certain sub-transfer agent fees paid by the Transfer Agent (exclusive of BFDS fees), calculated based on assets held in omnibus accounts and intended to recover the cost of payments to other parties (including affiliates of BOA) for services to those accounts. Prior to November 1, 2007, the annual rate was $17.00 per open account. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund. The Transfer Agent may also retain, as additional compensation for its services, fees for wire, telephone and redemption orders, IRA trustee agent fees and account transcript fees due to the Transfer Agent from shareholders of the Fund and credits (net of bank charges) earned with respect to balances in accounts the Transfer Agent maintains in connection with its services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent also receives reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses.

Underwriting Discounts, Service and Distribution Fees

Columbia Management Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of Columbia and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BOA, is the principal underwriter of the Fund’s shares. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Distributor has retained net underwriting discounts of $14,466 on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares and net CDSC fees of $316, $30,876 and $798 on Class A, Class B and Class C share redemptions, respectively.

The Fund has adopted Rule 12b-1 plans (the “Plans”) for Class A, Class B and Class C shares, which require the payment of a monthly service fee to the Distributor. The annual service fee portion of the Plans may equal up to 0.15% net assets attributable to shares issued prior to April 1, 1989 and 0.25% on net assets attributable to shares issued thereafter. This arrangement results in a rate of service fee for all shares that is a blend between the 0.15% and 0.25% annual rates. For the year ended September 30, 2008, the Class A, Class B and Class C shares’ effective service fee rate was 0.24%.

The Plans also requires the payment of a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor at the annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares only.

The CDSC and the distribution fees received from the Plans are used principally as repayment to the Distributor for amounts paid by the Distributor to dealers who sold such shares.

Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees

The Trust’s eligible Trustees may participate in a deferred compensation plan which may be terminated at any time. Obligations of the plan will be paid solely out of the Fund’s assets.

Columbia Liberty Fund

September 30, 2008

Note 5. Custody Credits

For the year ended September 30, 2008, these custody credits reduced total expenses by $6,237 for the Fund.

Note 6. Portfolio Information

For the year ended September 30, 2008, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, were $436,185,384 and $484,339,833, respectively, of which $54,107,803 and $69,306,118, respectively, were U.S. Government securities.

Note 7. Line of Credit

Interest on the committed line of credit is charged to each participating fund based on the fund’s borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds. Interest on the uncommitted line of credit is charged to each participating fund based on the fund’s borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.375%. State Street charges an annual operations agency fee of $40,000 for the committed line of credit and may charge an annual administration fee of $15,000 for the uncommitted line of credit. The commitment fee, the operations agency fee and the administration fee are accrued and apportioned among the participating funds pro rata based on their relative net assets.

For the year ended September 30, 2008, the average daily loan balance outstanding on days where borrowing existed was $1,000,000 at a weighted average interest rate of 5.025%.

Note 8. Securities Lending

Note 9. Shares of Beneficial Interest

As of September 30, 2008, 15.7% of the Fund’s shares outstanding were beneficially owned by one participant account over which BOA and/or its affiliates had either sole or joint investment discretion.

Subscription and redemption activity of this account may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.

Note 10. Significant Risks and Contingencies

Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk

The value of the mortgage-backed securities may be affected by changes in interest rates, factors concerning the interests in and structure of the issuer or the originator of the mortgages, the creditworthiness of the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds or other credit enhancements or the quality of the underlying assets or the market’s assessment thereof. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is the possibility that the underlying mortgage may be refinanced or prepaid prior to maturity during periods of declining or low interest rates, causing the Fund to have to reinvest the money received in securities that have lower yields. In addition, the impact of prepayments on the value of mortgage-backed securities may be difficult to predict and may result in greater volatility.

Legal Proceedings

On February 9, 2005, Columbia Management Advisors, Inc. (which has since merged into Banc of America Capital Management, LLC (now named Columbia Management Advisors, LLC)) (“Columbia”) and Columbia Funds Distributor, Inc. (which has been renamed Columbia Management Distributors, Inc.) (the “Distributor”) (collectively, the “Columbia Group”) entered into an Assurance of Discontinuance with the New York Attorney General (“NYAG”) (the “NYAG Settlement”) and consented to the entry of a cease-and-desist order by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (the “SEC Order”) on matters relating to mutual fund trading.

Under the terms of the SEC Order, the Columbia Group agreed, among other things, to: pay $70 million in disgorgement and $70 million in civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures; retain an independent consultant to review the Columbia Group’s applicable supervisory, compliance, control and other policies and procedures; and retain an independent distribution consultant (see below). The Columbia Funds have also voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of their boards of trustees. The NYAG Settlement also, among other things, requires Columbia and its affiliates to reduce management fees for certain Columbia Funds (including the former Nations Funds) and other mutual funds collectively by $32 million per year for five years, for a projected total of $160 million in management fee reductions.

On February 20, 2004, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred these cases and cases against other mutual fund companies based on similar allegations to the United States District Court in Maryland for consolidated or coordinated pretrial proceedings (the “MDL”). Subsequently, additional related cases were transferred to the MDL. On September 29, 2004, the plaintiffs in the MDL filed amended and consolidated complaints. One of these amended complaints is a putative class action that includes claims under the federal securities laws and state common law, and that names Columbia, the Distributor, the Trustees of the Columbia Funds, Bank of America Corporation and others as defendants. Another of the amended complaints is a derivative action purportedly on behalf of the Columbia Funds that asserts claims under federal securities laws and state common law.

On March 21, 2005, a purported class action was filed in Massachusetts state court alleging that certain conduct, including market timing, entitled Class B shareholders in certain Columbia funds to an exemption from contingent deferred sales charges upon early redemption (“the CDSC Lawsuit”). The CDSC Lawsuit was removed to federal court in Massachusetts and transferred to the MDL.

Columbia Liberty Fund

September 30, 2008

including the CDSC Lawsuit. The settlement is subject to court approval.

In 2004, the Columbia Funds’ adviser and distributor and certain affiliated entities and individuals were named as defendants in certain purported shareholder class and derivative actions making claims, including claims under the Investment Company and the Investment Advisers Acts of 1940 and state law. Certain Columbia Funds were named as nominal defendants. The suits allege, inter alia, that the fees and expenses paid by the funds are excessive and that the advisers and their affiliates inappropriately used fund assets to distribute the funds and for other improper purposes. On March 2, 2005, the actions were consolidated in the Massachusetts federal court as In re Columbia Entities Litigation. The plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint on June 9, 2005. On November 30, 2005, the judge dismissed all claims by plaintiffs and entered final judgment in favor of the defendants. The plaintiffs appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on December 30, 2005. A stipulation and settlement agreement dated January 19, 2007 was filed in the First Circuit on February 14, 2007, with a joint stipulation of dismissal and motion for remand to obtain district court approval of the settlement. That joint motion was granted and the appeal was dismissed. On March 6, 2007, the case was remanded to the District Court. The settlement, approved by the District Court on September 18, 2007, became effective October 19, 2007. Pursuant to the settlement, the funds’ adviser and/or its affiliates made certain payments, including plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and costs of notice to class members.

Note 11. Subsequent Event

On October 16, 2008 the uncommitted and committed lines of credit discussed in Note 7 were terminated and amended, respectively. The Fund and other affiliated funds participate in a $280,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit. The maximum amount that may be borrowed by any fund is limited to the lesser of $200,000,000 and the Fund’s borrowing limit set forth in the Fund’s registration statement. Interest is charge to each participating fund based on the fund’s borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% and the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 0.50%. In addition, an annual operations agency fee of $20,000, an amendment fee of 0.20% and a commitment fee of 0.12% per annum are accrued and apportioned among the participating funds pro rata based on their relative net assets.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of the Columbia Funds Series Trust I and the Shareholders of Columbia Liberty Fund

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Columbia Liberty Fund (the “Fund”) (a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I), at September 30, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The registrant’s Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the engagement of the registrant’s independent accountants to provide audit and non-audit services to the registrant and non-audit services to its investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with such investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant (“Adviser Affiliates”), if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant.

The Audit Committee has adop ted a Policy for Engagement of Independent Accountants for Audit and Non-Audit Services (“Policy”). The Policy sets forth the understanding of the Audit Committee regarding the engagement of the registrant’s independent accountants to provide (i) audit and permissible audit-related, tax and other services to the registrant (collectively “Fund Services”); (ii) non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) and Adviser Affiliates, if the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of a Fund (collectively “Fund-related Adviser Services”); and (iii) certain other audit and non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is

subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) and Adviser Affiliates. Unless a type of service receives general pre-approval under the Policy, it requires specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the independent accountants. Pre-approval of non-audit services to the registrant, the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) and Adviser Affiliates may be waived provided that the “de minimis” requirements set forth under paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X are met.

Under the Policy, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to any pre-designated member or members who are Independent Trustees/Directors. The member(s) to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next regular meeting. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities with respect to the pre-approval of services performed by the independent accountants may not be delegated to management.

The Policy requires the Fund Treasurer and/or Director of Board Administration to submit to the Audit Committee, on an annual basis, a schedule of the types of services that are subject to general pre-approval. The schedule(s) provide a description of each type of service that is subject to general pre-approval and, where possible, will provide estimated fee caps for each instance of providing each service. The Audit Committees will review and approve the types of services and review the projected fees for the next fiscal year and may add to, or subtract from, the list of general pre-approved services from time to time based on subsequent determinations. That approval acknowledges that the Audit Committee is in agreement with the specific types of services that the independent accountants will be permitted to perform.

The Fund Treasurer and/or Director of Board Administration shall report to the Audit Committee at each of its regular meetings regarding all Fund Services or Fund-related Adviser Services initiated since the last such report was rendered, including a general description of the services, actual billed and projected fees, and the means by which such Fund Services or Fund-related Adviser Services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

*****

(e)(2) The percentage of services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item approved pursuant to the “de minimis” exception under paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X during both fiscal years ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 was zero.

(f) Not applicable.

(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is

subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 are approximately as follows:

2008		2007
$	1,204,300	$	1,383,500

(h) The registrant’s Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.

Not applicable.

Item 6. Investments

(a) The registrant’s “Schedule I – Investments in securities of unaffiliated issuers” (as set forth in 17 CFR 210.12-12) is included in Item 1 of this Form N-CSR.

(b) Not applicable.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

Not applicable.

Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

Not applicable.

Item 9. Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers.

Not applicable.

Item 10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

There have not been any material changes to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the registrant’s board of directors, since those procedures were

last disclosed in response to requirements of Item 407(c)(2)(iv) of Regulation S-K (as required by Item 22(b)(15) of Schedule 14A) or this Item.

Item 11. Controls and Procedures.

(a) The registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officers, based on their evaluation of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days of the filing of this report, have concluded that such controls and procedures are adequately designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the registrant in Form N-CSR is accumulated and communicated to the registrant’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) There was no change in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 12. Exhibits.
