Fund Profile – Columbia California Tax-Exempt Fund

Summary

^g For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2008, the fund's Class A shares returned negative 6.80% without sales charge.

^g The fund trailed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index¹, but performed better than its peer group average, the Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds Classification.²

^g Bonds in the mid-to-lower quality tiers held back performance compared to the benchmark. We believe that our focus on bonds in the 10-25 year maturity range and our comparatively smaller exposure to weaker performing sectors aided performance relative to the fund's peer group.

The pace of economic growth ground to a halt during the 12-month period that began November 1, 2007 and ended October 31, 2008. Although the economic growth was modestly positive at the beginning of the period, the economy slipped into recession in 2008, with little relief in sight. A host of factors weighed on consumers and businesses alike.

The most severe housing downturn in decades showed no sign of abating as inventories of homes for sale rose, home prices declined and tighter credit standards, a result of continued turmoil in the subprime mortgage market, made it more difficult for homebuyers to qualify for loans.

The labor market contracted for ten consecutive months, driving the unemployment rate to 6.5%, the highest rate since the early 1990s. Nearly 1.2 million jobs have been lost since the beginning of 2008, with announced layoffs likely to drive that number even higher in the months ahead. Manufacturing activity slowed and consumer spending declined, dimming hopes for the holiday season.

A weakening economy and turmoil in the financial markets took a toll on consumer confidence, which plummeted to the lowest point ever in the 40-year history of the Conference Board's monthly survey.

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 4.50% to 1.0% during the 12-month period. Despite earlier concerns about inflation, a weak economic outlook has kept the Fed focused on stimulating economic growth through lowering borrowing rates. In fact, the one bright spot during this period of uncertainty has been lower energy and commodity prices. With oil trading near $60 per barrel at the end of the period, gasoline prices are forecasted to come down below $2 per gallon after peaking above $4 per gallon during the summer months.

Bonds eke out a small, positive return

The U.S. bond market seesawed during the 12-month period but managed to eke out a small gain as investors sought the relative safety of the highest quality sectors. After a weak start, bond prices in several sectors rose and yields declined as economic growth slowed and stock market volatility increased. The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield ended the period at just under 4.0%, nearly one-half percentage point lower than where it stood one year ago. In this environment, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 0.30%. High-yield bonds disappointed as economic prospects weakened and default fears rose. The Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield, Cash Pay Index returned negative 26.43%.

Stocks retreat as economic outlook darkens

Against a shifting economic backdrop, the U.S. stock market lost 36.10% for the 12-month period, as measured by the S&P 500 Index. Losses extended across all market caps and both growth and value, although value stocks held up somewhat better than growth stocks, as measured by their respective Russell indices.¹ Stock markets outside the U.S. suffered even greater losses. The MSCI EAFE Index, a broad gauge of stock market performance in foreign developed markets, lost 46.62% (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. As investors backed away from risk, emerging markets suffered most of all. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned negative 56.22% (in U.S. dollars).²

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

¹The 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 US companies based on market capitalization.

The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 4.75% for Class A 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 the 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 Z share (newer class shares) performance information includes returns of the fund's Class A shares (the oldest existing fund class) for periods prior to the inception of Class Z shares. These returns have not been restated to reflect any differences in expenses such as distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees between Class A shares and Class Z shares. The Class A share returns have been adjusted to take into account the fact that Class Z shares are sold without sales charges. If differences in expenses had been reflected, the returns shown for periods prior to the inception of Class Z shares would have been higher, to the extent that Class Z shares are not subject to any distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees. Class A shares were initially offered on June 16, 1986, Class B shares were initially offered on August 4, 1992, Class C shares were initially offered on August 1, 1997, and Class Z shares were initially offere d on September 19, 2005.

Differences in expense ratios disclosed elsewhere in this report may result from including fee waivers and expense reimbursements as well as different time periods used in calculating the ratios.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia California Tax-Exempt 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 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.

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.

05/01/08 – 10/31/08

	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		932.68		1,020.91		4.08		4.27		0.84
Class B		1,000.00		1,000.00		929.22		1,017.14		7.71		8.06		1.59
Class C		1,000.00		1,000.00		930.62		1,018.65		6.26		6.55		1.29
Class Z		1,000.00		1,000.00		933.79		1,022.12		2.92		3.05		0.60

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.

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.

Portfolio Manager's Report – Columbia California Tax-Exempt Fund

For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2008, the fund's Class A shares returned negative 6.80% without sales charge. The fund's benchmark, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index returned negative 3.30%.¹ The average return of the fund's peer group, the Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds Classification, was negative 9.24%². The fund's shortfall to its benchmark was the result of two factors: the index is national in scope and it has less exposure than the fund to longer-term (20 to 30 years) and mid-to-lower quality sectors, which were underperformers during the period. We believe that the fund outperformed its peer group average because it had a greater focus on bonds in the 10-25 year maturity range and comparatively less exposure to weaker performing sectors.

Economic slowdown has sharp impact

A year ago, we anticipated an economic slowdown and an easing of inflationary pressures fed by high commodity prices and worldwide growth. But the intensity of the slowdown has been unexpectedly sharp. In hopes of reviving the economy, the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) cut short-term interest rates aggressively while Congress passed a stimulus package to aid middle-class households.

Fallout from a widespread credit crisis caused municipal bonds to underperform Treasuries over this period. Sinking home values and waves of foreclosures began to shrink tax revenues and swell deficits for state and local governments. In addition, downgrades of municipal bond insurers dramatically reduced the number of AAA-rated³ municipal bonds. As a result, investors demanded higher yields for insured issues, which represent over half of the new issue market. Meanwhile, volatile markets forced some institutions to sell off their municipal bond holdings, especially hedge funds.

Amid this economic stress, the yield difference between higher and lower quality municipal bonds widened. The period's worst performance came in lower quality, long-maturity sectors where yields rose substantially. Skittish investors preferred to confine their commitments to better quality issues with maturities of five years or less, causing yields to decline and raising prices modestly for these bonds.

Lower and medium quality fund holdings and those with long maturities hurt results. We achieved better returns among intermediate-term prerefunded bonds, which are backed by escrowed government securities.

¹The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index is considered representative of the broad market for investment-grade, tax-exempt bonds with maturities of at least one year. 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.

³The credit quality ratings represent those of Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P") or Fitch Ratings ("Fitch") credit ratings. The ratings represent their opinions as to the quality of the securities they rate. Ratings are relative and subjective and are not absolute standards of quality.

Housing and budget concerns pressured California's economy

Falling home prices and mortgage foreclosures were the triggers for California's latest recession. Stressed homeowners have slashed spending, eroding tax revenues at a time of severe shortfalls in the state's budget. Cutbacks in government construction projects added to California's unemployment rate, already among the nation's highest. With the 2009 budget gap unresolved well into the fiscal year, steep reductions were anticipated in state payrolls and programs; a boost in the sales tax was also possible. Depending on the outcome of these and other factors there may be rating downgrades by the rating agencies. Longer term, once the current slowdown ends and the budget stabilizes, we believe that California's strengths in technology, agriculture and higher education, plus global tourism and international trade, may set the state's economy back on course.

A cautious, deliberate approach

A widening difference in yield between higher and lower quality securities of comparable maturities offers potential opportunities in bonds in the mid and lower quality tiers. However, we are being selective in our choice of securities because we do not believe that the challenges facing municipal issuers will dissipate quickly in light of the current economic slowdown. In this environment, we believe that short-term interest rates are likely to remain low and further stimulus moves are possible. Eventually, we believe that taxes may rise, making municipal bonds more attractive. However, we believe that continued stimulus programs could also trigger inflation over the longer-term, a potential negative for bond investors.

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.

Tax-exempt investing offers current tax-exempt income, but it also involves special risks. The value of the fund will be affected by interest rate changes and the creditworthiness of issues held in the fund. When interest rates go up, bond prices generally drop and vice versa.

Interest income from certain tax-exempt bonds may be subject to certain state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax. Capital gains are not exempt from income taxes.

Single-state municipal bond funds pose additional risks due to limited geographical diversification.

Notes to Financial Statements – Columbia California Tax-Exempt Fund
October 31, 2008

Note 1. Organization

Columbia California Tax-Exempt 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 exempt from federal income tax and California individual income tax and of capital appreciation, consistent with moderate fluctuation of principal.

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 4.75% 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") if the shares are 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 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

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

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.

Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.

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

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.

Columbia California Tax-Exempt Fund, October 31, 2008

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 Fund's financial statement d isclosures.

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 of the future direction of interest rates by Columbia Management Advisors, LLC ("Columbia"), the Fund's investment advisor. 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.

Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale at the issuer's expense either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Board of Trustees. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resale.

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. Original issue discount is accreted to interest income over the life of the security with a corresponding increase in the cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date.

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 for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class. Income and expenses are allocated to each class based on the settled shares method, while realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated based on the relative net assets of each class.

Columbia California Tax-Exempt Fund, October 31, 2008

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 from net investment income are declared daily and distributed monthly. 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.

For the year ended October 31, 2008, permanent book and tax basis differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for 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
$	(29,539	)		$	29,538			$	1

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 October 31, 2008 and October 31, 2007 was as follows:

	October 31,
	2008		2007
Tax-Exempt Income	$	18,139,735	$	17,835,543
Ordinary Income*		302,206		396,868
Long-Term Capital Gains		2,240,618		1,148,829

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

As of October 31, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed Tax-Exempt Income				Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains				Net Unrealized Depreciation*
$	1,000,997			$	354,029			$	(21,501,471	)

* The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized depreciation are primarily due to deferral of losses from discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities.

Columbia California Tax-Exempt Fund, October 31, 2008

Unrealized appreciation and depreciation at October 31, 2008, based on cost of investments for federal income tax purposes, were:

Unrealized appreciation	$	12,168,017
Unrealized depreciation		(33,669,488	)
Net unrealized depreciation	$	(21,501,471	)

The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48"), effective April 30, 2008. FIN 48 requires management to determine 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. FIN 48 was applied to all existing tax positions upon initial adoption. 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 and no cumulative effect adjustments were recorded. 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, administrative and other services to the Fund. Columbia receives a monthly investment advisory fee based on the Fund's pro-rata portion of the combined average daily net assets of the Fund, Columbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund, Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund and Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Fund as follows:

Combined Average Daily Net Assets	Annual Fee Rate
First $1 billion		0.50	%
$1 billion to $3 billion		0.45	%
Over $3 billion		0.40	%

For the year ended October 31, 2008, the Fund's effective investment advisory fee rate was 0.50% 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 charge s.

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.

Columbia California Tax-Exempt Fund, October 31, 2008

For the year ended October 31, 2008, the amount charged to the Fund by affiliates included on the Statement of Operations under "Pricing and bookkeeping fees" aggregated to $1,952.

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. 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 October 31, 2008, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses by $1,460.

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 October 31, 2008, the Distributor has retained net underwriting discounts of $27,845 on sales of the Fund's Class A shares and received net CDSC fees of $45,355, $21,054 and $7,517 on Class A, Class B and Class C share redemptions, respectively.

The Fund has adopted distribution and shareholder servicing plans (the "Plans") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, which require the payment of distribution and service fees. The fees are intended to compensate the Distributor and/or eligible selling and/or servicing agents for selling shares of the Fund and providing services to investors. The service fee is equal to 0.10% annually of the net assets attributable to shares of the Fund issued prior to December 1, 1994 and 0.25% annually of the net assets attributable to shares issued thereafter. This arrangement results in an annual rate of service fee for all shares that is a blend between the 0.10% and 0.25% rates. For the year ended October 31, 2008, the Fund's effective service fee rate was 0.24% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B and Class C shares.

The Plans also require the payment of a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor equal to 0.75% annually of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares only. The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the Class C shares distribution fee so that it will not exceed 0.45% annually of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. This arrangement may be modified or terminated by the Distributor at any time.

Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements

Columbia and/or some of the Fund's other service providers have voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the 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 0.60% annually of the Fund's average daily net assets. Columbia, at its discretion, may modify or terminate this arrangement any time.

Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees

Columbia California Tax-Exempt Fund, October 31, 2008

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 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.

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 October 31, 2008, these custody credits reduced total expenses by $2,393 for the Fund.

Note 6. Portfolio Information

For the year ended October 31, 2008, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, were $51,696,473 and $49,228,648, respectively.

Note 7. Line of Credit

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. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.

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.

Prior to October 16, 2008, the Fund 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, both provided by State Street. Interest on the committed line of credit was 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 was accrued and apportioned among the participating funds pro rata based on their relative net assets. Interest on the uncommitted line of credit was 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 charged an annual operations agency fee of $40,000 for the committed line of credit and was able to charge an annual administration fee of $15,000 for the uncommitted line of credit. The commitme nt fee, the operations agency fee and the administration fee were accrued and apportioned among the participating funds pro rata based on their relative net assets.

For the year ended October 31, 2008, the Fund did not borrow under these arrangements.

Note 8. Shares of Beneficial Interest

As of October 31, 2008, one shareholder held 24.6% of the Fund's shares outstanding, over which BOA and/or any of 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 9. 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 ri sk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral.

Columbia California Tax-Exempt Fund, October 31, 2008

Note 10. Significant Risks and Contingencies

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Fund holds investments that are insured by private insurers who guarantee the payment of principal and interest in the event of default or that are supported by a letter of credit. At October 31, 2008, private insurers who insured greater than 5% of the net assets of the Fund were as follows:

Insurer	% of Total Net Assets
MBIA Insurance Corp.		19.8
AMBAC Assurance Corp.		18.9
Financial Security Assurance, Inc.		9.6
Financial Guaranty Insurance Co.		8.9

At November 24, 2008, MBIA Insurance Corp., Financial Guaranty Insurance Co., AMBAC Assurance Corp. and Financial Security Assurance, Inc. were rated by Standard & Poor's AA, CCC, A and AAA, respectively.

Geographic Concentration Risk

The Fund had greater than 5% of its total net assets at October 31, 2008 invested in debt obligations issued by each of California and Puerto Rico and their political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities. The Fund is more susceptible to economic and political factors adversely affecting issuers of the state's or territory's municipal securities than are municipal bond funds that are not concentrated to the same extent in these issuers.

Sector Focus Risk

The Fund may focus its investments in certain sectors, subjecting it to greater risk than a fund that is less focused.

Tax Development Risk

The Fund purchases municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of bond counsel, is free from federal income tax. There is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will agree with this opinion. In the event the IRS determines that an issuer does not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued. As a shareholder of the Fund, you may be required to file an amended tax return as a result.

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

Columbia California Tax-Exempt Fund, October 31, 2008

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 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 United States 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and the Shareholders of Columbia California Tax-Exempt 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 California Tax-Exempt Fund (the "Fund") (a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I) at October 31, 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 the periods indicated, 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 October 31, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Consideration and Approval of Advisory Agreements

The Advisory Fees and Expenses Committee of the Board of Trustees meets several times annually to review the advisory agreements (collectively, the "Agreements") of the funds for which the Trustees serve as trustees (each a "fund") and to determine whether to recommend that the full Board approve the continuation of the Agreements for an additional one-year period. After the Committee has made its recommendation, the full Board, including the Independent Trustees, determines whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements. In addition, the full Board, including the Independent Trustees, considers matters bearing on the Agreements at most of its other meetings throughout the year and meets regularly with senior management of the funds and Columbia, the funds' investment adviser, including the senior manager of each investment area within Columbia. Through the Board's Investment Oversight Committees, Trustees also meet with selected fund portfolio managers, research analysts and traders at various times throughout the year.

The Trustees receive and review all materials that they, their legal counsel or Columbia believe to be reasonably necessary for the Trustees to evaluate the Agreements and to determine whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements. Those materials generally include, among other items, (i) information on the investment performance of each fund relative to the performance of peer groups of mutual funds and the fund's performance benchmarks, and additional information assessing performance on a risk-adjusted basis, (ii) information on each fund's advisory fees and other expenses, including information comparing the fund's expenses to those of peer groups of mutual funds and information about any applicable expense caps and fee "breakpoints," (iii) information about the profitability of the Agreements to Columbia, including potential "fall-out" or ancillary benefits that Columbia and its affiliates may receive as a result of their relationships with the funds and (iv) information obtained through Columbia's response to a questionnaire prepared at the request of the Trustees by counsel to the funds and independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Trustees also consider other information such as (v) Columbia's financial results and financial condition, (vi) each fund's investment objective and strategies and the size, education and experience of Columbia's investment staffs and their use of technology, external research and trading cost measurement tools, (vii) the allocation of the funds' brokerage and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research products and services, (viii) Columbia's resources devoted to, and its record of compliance with, the funds' investment policies and restrictions, policies on personal securities transactions and other compliance policies and legal and regulatory requirements, (ix) Columbia's response to va rious legal and regulatory proceedings since 2003 and to the recent period of volatility in the securities markets and (x) the economic outlook generally and for the mutual fund industry in particular. In addition, the Advisory Fees and Expenses Committee confers with the funds' independent fee consultant and reviews materials relating to the funds' relationships with Columbia provided by the independent fee consultant. Throughout the process, the Trustees have the opportunity to ask questions of and to request additional materials from Columbia and to consult with the independent fee consultant and independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees.

The Board of Trustees most recently approved the continuation of the Agreements at its October, 2008 meeting, following meetings of the Advisory Fees and Expenses Committee held in February, April, August, September and October, 2008. In considering whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as determinative, and each weighed various factors as he or she deemed appropriate. The Trustees considered the following matters in connection with their approval of the continuation of the Agreements:

reputation and other attributes) to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified research, advisory and supervisory investment professionals; (ii) the portfolio management services provided by those investment professionals; and (iii) the trade execution services provided on behalf of the funds. For each fund, the Trustees also considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a mutual fund that is part of a family of funds offering exposure to a variety of asset classes and investment disciplines and providing a variety of fund and shareholder services. After reviewing those and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided supported the continuation of the Agreements.

Investment performance of the funds and Columbia. The Trustees reviewed information about the performance of each fund over various time periods, including information prepared by an independent third-party data provider that compared the performance of each fund to the performance of peer groups of mutual funds and performance benchmarks. The Trustees also reviewed a description of the third party's methodology for identifying each fund's peer group for purposes of performance and expense comparisons. The Trustees also considered additional information that the Advisory Fees and Expenses Committee requested from Columbia relating to funds that presented relatively weaker performance and/or relatively higher expenses. In the case of each fund whose performance lagged that of a relevant peer group for certain (although not necessarily all) periods, the Trustees concluded that other factors relevant to performance were sufficient, in light of other considerations, to warrant continuation of the fund's Agreements. Those factors varied from fund to fund, but included one or more of the following: (i) that the fund's performance, although lagging in certain recent periods, was stronger over the longer term; (ii) that the underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions that were reasonable and consistent with the fund's investment strategy and policies and that the fund was performing within a reasonable range of expectations, given those investment decisions, market conditions and the fund's investment strategy; (iii) that the fund's performance was competitive when compared to other relevant performance benchmarks or peer groups; (iv) that Columbia had taken or was taking steps designed to help improve the fund's investment performance, including, but not limited to, replacing portfolio managers or modifying investment strategies; and (v) that Columbia proposed to waive advisory fees or cap the expenses of the fund.

The Trustees noted that, through April 30, 2008, Columbia California Tax-Exempt Fund's performance was in the second quintile (where the best performance would be in the first quintile) for the one- and three- and five-year periods, and in the first quintile for the ten-year period, of the peer group selected by an independent third-party data provider for purposes of performance comparisons.

The Trustees also considered Columbia's performance and reputation generally, the funds' performance as a fund family generally, and Columbia's historical responsiveness to Trustee concerns about performance and Columbia's willingness to take steps intended to improve performance. After reviewing those and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the performance of each fund and Columbia was sufficient, in light of other considerations, to warrant the continuation of the Agreement(s) pertaining to that fund.

The costs of the services provided and profits realized by Columbia and its affiliates from their relationships with the funds. The Trustees considered the fees charged to the funds for advisory services as well as the total expense levels of the funds. That information included comparisons (provided by management and by an independent third-party data provider) of each fund's advisory fees and total expense levels to those of the fund's peer groups and information about the advisory fees charged by Columbia to comparable institutional accounts. In considering the fees charged to those accounts, the Trustees took into account, among other things, management's representations about the differences between managing mutual funds as compared to other types of accounts, including differences in the services provided, differences in the risk profile of such business for Columbia, and the additional resources required to manage mutual funds effectively. In evaluating each fund's advisory fees, the Trustees also took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the investment management of the fund. The Trustees considered existing advisory fee breakpoints, and Columbia's use of advisory fee waivers and expense caps, which benefited a number of the funds. The Trustees also noted management's stated justification for the fees charged to the funds, which

included information about the investment performance of the funds and the services provided to the funds.

The Trustees considered that Columbia California Tax-Exempt Fund's total expenses were in the third quintile and actual management fees were in the second quintile (where the lowest fees and expenses would be in the first quintile) of the peer group selected by an independent third-party data provider for purposes of expense comparisons.

The Trustees also considered the compensation directly or indirectly received by Columbia and its affiliates from their relationships with the funds. The Trustees reviewed information provided by management as to the profitability to Columbia and its affiliates of their relationships with each fund, and information about the allocation of expenses used to calculate profitability. When reviewing profitability, the Trustees also considered court cases in which adviser profitability was an issue in whole or in part, the performance of the relevant funds, the expense level of each fund, and whether Columbia had implemented breakpoints and/or expense caps with respect to the fund.

After reviewing those and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the advisory fees charged to each fund, and the related profitability to Columbia and its affiliates of their relationships with the fund, supported the continuation of the Agreement(s) pertaining to that fund.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale in the provision by Columbia of services to each fund, to groups of related funds, and to Columbia's investment advisory clients as a whole and whether those economies were shared with the funds through breakpoints in the investment advisory fees or other means, such as fee waivers/expense reductions and additional investments by Columbia in investment, trading and compliance resources. The Trustees noted that many of the funds benefited from breakpoints, fee waivers/expense caps, or both. In considering those issues, the Trustees also took note of the costs of the services provided (both on an absolute and a relative basis) and the profitability to Columbia and its affiliates of their relationships with the funds, as discussed above.

After reviewing those and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the extent to which economies of scale were shared with the funds supported the continuation of the Agreements.

Other Factors. The Trustees also considered other factors, which included but were not limited to the following:

ⁿthe extent to which each fund had operated in accordance with its investment objective and investment restrictions, the nature and scope of the compliance programs of the funds and Columbia and the compliance-related resources that Columbia and its affiliates were providing to the funds;

ⁿthe nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services overseen and performed by Columbia and its affiliates, both under the Agreements and under separate agreements for the provision of transfer agency and administrative services;

ⁿso-called "fall-out benefits" to Columbia and its affiliates, such as the engagement of its affiliates to provide distribution, brokerage and transfer agency services to the funds, and the benefits of research made available to Columbia by reason of brokerage commissions generated by the funds' securities transactions, as well as possible conflicts of interest associated with those fall-out and other benefits, and the reporting, disclosure and other processes in place to disclose and monitor those possible conflicts of interest; and

ⁿthe report provided by the funds' independent fee consultant, which included information about and analysis of the funds' fees, expenses and performance.

Based on their evaluation of all factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, and assisted by the advice of independent counsel and the independent fee consultant, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, approved the continuance of each of the Agreements through October 31, 2009.

Summary of Management Fee Evaluation by
Independent Fee Consultant

EXCERPTS FROM REPORT OF INDEPENDENT FEE CONSULTANT TO THE FUNDS SUPERVISED BY THE COLUMBIA ATLANTIC BOARD

Prepared Pursuant to the February 9, 2005
Assurance of Discontinuance among the
Office of Attorney General of New York State,
Columbia Management Advisors, LLC, and
Columbia Management Distributors, Inc.

November 3, 2008

I. Overview

On February 9, 2005, Columbia Management Advisors, LLC ("CMA") and Columbia Management Distributors, Inc.¹("CMD") agreed to the New York Attorney General's Assurance of Discontinuance ("AOD"). Among other things, the AOD stipulates that CMA may manage or advise a Columbia Fund ("Columbia Fund" and, together with some or all of such funds, the "Columbia Funds") only if the Independent Members of the Columbia Fund's Board of Trustees appoint a Senior Officer or retain an Independent Fee Consultant ("IFC") who is to manage the process by which proposed management fees are negotiated. The AOD further stipulates that the Senior Officer or IFC is to prepare a written annual evaluation of the fee negotiation process.

With effect from January 1, 2007, the Independent Members of the Board of Trustees for certain Columbia Funds known collectively as the "Atlantic Funds" (together with the other members of that Board, the "Trustees") retained me as IFC for the Atlantic Funds.² In this capacity, I have prepared the fourth annual written evaluation of the fee negotiation process. As was the case with last year's report (the "2007 Report") my immediate predecessor as IFC, John Rea, provided invaluable assistance in the preparation of this year's report.

A. Role of the Independent Fee Consultant

The AOD charges the IFC with "managing the process by which proposed management fees ... to be charged the Columbia Fund are negotiated so that they are negotiated in a manner which is at arms' length and reasonable and consistent with this Assurance of Discontinuance." The AOD also provides that CMA "may manage or advise a Columbia Fund only if the reasonableness of the proposed management fees is determined by the Board of Trustees ... using ... an annual independent written evaluation prepared by or under the direction of ... the Independent Fee Consultant." Therefore, the AOD makes clear that the IFC does not supplant the Trustees in negotiating management fees with CMA, nor does the IFC substitute his or her judgment for that of the Trustees with respect to the reasonableness of proposed fees or any other matter that is committed to the business judgmen t of the Trustees.

B. Elements Involved in Managing the Fee Negotiation Process

In preparing the report required by the AOD, the IFC must consider at least the following six factors set forth in the AOD:

1. The nature and quality of CMA's services, including the Fund's performance;

2. Management fees (including any components thereof) charged by other mutual fund companies for like services;

3. Possible economies of scale as the Fund grows larger;

4. Management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of CMA for like services;

5. Costs to CMA and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit; and

6. Profit margins of CMA and its affiliates from supplying such services.

C. Organization of the Annual Evaluation

This report, like last year's, focuses on the six factors and contains a section for each factor except that CMA's costs and profits from managing the Funds have been combined into a single section. In addition to a discussion of these factors, the report offers recommendations to improve the fee review process in future years. A review of the status of recommendations made in the 2007 Report is being provided separately with the materials for the October meeting.

¹ CMA and CMD are subsidiaries of Columbia Management Group, LLC ("CMG"), and are the successors to the entities named in the AOD.

² I have no material relationship with Bank of America, CMG or any of its affiliates, aside from serving as IFC, and I am aware of no material relationship with any of their affiliates. I retained John Rea, an independent economic consultant, to assist me with this report.

Unless otherwise stated or required by the context, this report covers only the Atlantic Funds, which are also referred as the "Funds."

II. Summary of Findings

A. General

1. Based upon my examination of the information supplied by CMG in the light of the six factors set forth in the AOD, I conclude that the Trustees have the relevant information necessary to evaluate the reasonableness of the proposed management fees for each Atlantic Fund.

2. In my view, the process by which the proposed management fees of the Funds have been negotiated in 2008 thus far has been, to the extent practicable, at arms' length and reasonable and consistent with the AOD.

B. Nature and Quality of Services, Including Performance

3. The performance of the Funds has been relatively strong in recent years. Based upon 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year returns through April 30, 2008, at least half of all the Funds were in the first and second performance quintiles in each of the four performance periods and, at most, only 11% were in the fifth quintile in any one performance period. Both equity and fixed-income funds posted strong performance relative to comparable funds.

4. Performance rankings were similar in 2007 and 2008, although last year's were slightly stronger. Despite the stability in the distribution of rankings in the two years, at least half the Funds changed quintile rankings between the two years in at least one of the 1-, 3-, and 5-year performance periods.

5. The performance of the actively managed equity Funds against their benchmarks was very strong. At least 57% and as many as 73% posted net returns exceeding their benchmarks over the 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods. In contrast, gross and net returns of fixed-income Funds typically fell short of their benchmarks.

6. Atlantic equity Funds' overall performance adjusted for risk also was strong. Based upon 3-year returns, nearly 80% of the equity Funds had a combination of risk-adjusted and unadjusted returns that placed them in the top half of their performance universes. Only about one-fifth of the fixed income Funds posted high returns and low risk relative to comparable funds. About two-thirds of the fixed-income Funds took on more risk than the typical fund in their performance universes.

7. The industry-standard procedure used by Lipper that includes all share classes in the performance universe tends to bias a Fund's ranking upward within that universe. The bias occurs because either no-12b-1 fee or low-12b-1 fee share classes of the Atlantic Funds are compared with funds in performance universes that include all share classes of multi-class funds with 12b-1 fees of up to 100 basis points. Correcting this bias by limiting the performance universe to classes of comparable funds with low or no 12b-1 fees (a "filtered universe") lowers the relative performance for the Funds, but their performance, on the whole, remains strong. The filtering process, however, did identify two Funds for further review that had not been designated review funds using unfiltered universes.

8. A small number of Funds have consistently underperformed over the past four years. The exact number depends on the criteria used to evaluate longer-term performance. For example, the one-year returns of one Fund have been in the fourth or fifth performance quintiles in each of the past four years; there are six Funds whose three-year returns have been in the fourth or fifth quintile over the past four years.

9. The services performed by CMG professionals beyond portfolio management, such as compliance, legal, information technology, risk management, finance and fund administration, are critical to the success of the Funds and appear to be of high quality.

C. Management Fees Charged by Other Mutual Fund Companies

10. The Funds' management fees and total expenses are generally low relative to those of their peers. Only 21% of the Funds ranked in the two most expensive quintiles for actual management fees, and only 23% in those quintiles for total expenses.

rankings of certain Excelsior Funds are due in part to fee schedules that are higher than standard Columbia Fund fee schedules at current asset levels. After discussion with the Trustees, CMA is proposing to lower the management fees on three of these Funds.

12. The distribution of expense rankings is similar in 2007 and 2008, while management fee rankings improved markedly in 2008. Part of the improvement reflects expense limitations introduced last year for the state intermediate municipal bond Funds.

13. The management fees of the Atlantic Funds are generally in line with those of Columbia Funds supervised by the Nations Board of Trustees (the "Nations Funds"). In investment categories in which the Atlantic Funds have higher average fees, the difference principally arises out of differences in asset size.

D. Trustees' Fee and Performance Evaluation Process

14. The Trustees' evaluation process identified 17 Funds in 2008 for further review based upon their relative performance or expenses or both. When compared in filtered universes, two more Funds met the criteria for further review. CMG provided further information about those Funds to assist the Trustees in their evaluation.

E. Potential Economies of Scale

15. CMG presented to the Trustees its analysis of the sources and sharing of potential economies of scale. CMG views economies of scale as arising at the complex level and would regard estimates of scale economies for individual funds as unreliable. In its analysis, CMG did not identify specific sources of economies of scale or provide any estimates of any economies of scale that might arise from future asset growth. CMG's analysis included measures taken by the Trustees and CMG that seek to share any potential economies of scale through breakpoints in management fee schedules, expense reimbursements, fee waivers, enhanced shareholder services, fund mergers, and operational consolidation.

16. An examination of the contractual fee schedules for five Atlantic Funds shows that they are generally in line with those of their competitors, in terms of number and extent of fee breakpoints. A similar examination last year of five different Funds led to the same conclusion.

F. Management Fees Charged to Institutional Clients

17. CMG has provided Trustees with comparisons of mutual fund management fees and institutional fees based upon standardized fee schedules and upon actual fees. The results show that, consistent with industry practice, institutional fees are generally lower than the Funds' management fees. However, because the services provided and risks borne by the manager are more extensive for mutual funds compared to institutional accounts, the differences are of limited value in assisting the Trustees in their review of the reasonableness of the Funds' management fees.

G. Revenues, Expenses, and Profits

18. The activity-based cost allocation methodology ("ABC") employed by CMG to allocate costs, both direct and indirect, for purposes of calculating Fund profitability is thoughtful and detailed. This year, CMG proposed a change to the method by which indirect expenses are allocated. Under this "hybrid" method, indirect costs relating to fund management are allocated among the Funds 50% by assets and 50% per Fund. Allocating indirect expenses equally to each Fund has an intuitive logic, as each Fund regardless of size has certain expenses, such as preparing and printing prospectuses and financial statements.

19. The materials provided on CMG's revenues and expenses with respect to the Funds and the methodology underlying their construction form a sufficient basis for Trustees to evaluate the expenses and profitability of the Funds.

20. In 2007, CMG's complex-wide pre-tax margins on the Atlantic Funds were slightly below industry medians, based on limited data available for publicly held mutual fund managers. However, as is to be expected in a complex now comprising 75 Funds (including former Excelsior Funds), some Atlantic Funds have relatively high pre-tax profit margins, when calculated solely with respect to management revenues and expenses, while other Atlantic Funds operate at a loss. There is a positive relationship

between fund size and profitability, with smaller funds generally operating at a loss.

21. CMG pays a fixed percentage of its management fee revenues to an affiliate, U.S. Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management, to compensate it for services it performs with respect to Atlantic Fund assets held for the benefit of its customers. Based on our analysis of the services provided by this affiliate, we have concluded that all payments other than those for sub-transfer agent or sub-accounting services should be treated as a distribution expense.

III. Recommendations

1) Criteria for review. The Trustees may wish to consider modifying the criteria for classifying a fund as a "Review Fund" to include criteria that focus exclusively on performance without regard to expense or fee levels. For example, a fund whose one-year or three-year performance was median or below for four consecutive years could be treated as a Review Fund. When we applied such criteria to the Funds, several additional Funds would have been added to the list of Review Funds.

2) Profitability data. CMG should present to the Trustees each year the profitability of each Fund, each investment style and each complex (of which Atlantic is one) calculated as follows:

a. Management-only profitability should be calculated without reference to any Private Bank expense.

b. Profitability excluding distribution (which essentially covers the management and transfer agency functions) should be adjusted by removing from the expense calculation any portion of the Private Bank payment not attributable to the performance by the Private Bank of sub-transfer agency or sub-accounting functions.

c. Total profitability, including distribution: No adjustment for Private Bank expenses should be made, because all such expenses represent legitimate fund expenses to be taken into account in calculating CMG's profit margin including distribution.

d. Distribution only: This should include all Private Bank expenses other than those attributable to sub-transfer agency services.

Therefore, the following data need not be provided:

1. Adjusting total profitability data for Private Bank expenses

2. Adjusting profitability excluding distribution by backing out all Private Bank expenses.

3) Potential economies of scale. CMG and the IFC should continue to work on methods for more precisely quantifying to the extent possible the sources and magnitude of any economies of scale as CMG's mutual fund assets under management increase, to the extent that the data allows for meaningful year-over-year comparisons. The framework suggested in Section IV.D.4 may prove to be a useful model for such an analysis.

4) Competitive breakpoint analysis. As part of the annual fee evaluation process, the breakpoints of a select group of Atlantic Funds (which would differ each year) should continue to be compared to those of industry rivals to ensure that the Funds' breakpoint schedules remain within industry norms. As breakpoint schedules change relatively little each year, performing such a comparison for each Atlantic Fund each year would not be an efficient use of Trustee and CMG resources.

5) Cost allocation methodology. CMG's point that the current ABC system of allocating indirect expenses creates anomalous results in several cases, including sub-advised Funds, is well-taken. We would like to work with CMG over the forthcoming year on alternatives to the current system of allocating indirect expenses that (1) resolve the anomalies, (2) limit the amount of incremental effort on CMG's part and (3) remain faithful to the general principle that expenses should be allocated by time and effort to the extent reasonably possible.

6) Management fee disparities. CMG and the Atlantic Trustees, as part of any future study of management fees, should analyze the differences in management fee schedules, principally arising out of the reorganization of the former Excelsior Funds as Atlantic Funds. As part of that analysis, CMG should provide an explanation for any significant fee differences among comparable funds across fund families managed by CMA, such as differences in the management styles of different Funds included the same Lipper category. Finally, whenever CMG proposes a

management fee change or an expense cap for any mutual fund managed by CMA that is comparable to any Atlantic Fund, CMG should provide the Trustees with sufficient information about the proposal to allow the Trustees to assess the applicability of the proposed change to the relevant Atlantic Fund or Funds.

7) Tax-exempt Fund expense data. The expense rankings of certain tax-exempt Funds were adversely affected by including certain investment-related interest expenses that Lipper excluded in calculating the expense ratios of competitors. We recommend that CMG follow the Lipper practice and exclude such interest expenses from data submitted to Lipper to avoid unfairly disadvantaging the tax-exempt Funds.

8) Reduction of volume of paper documents submitted. The effort to rationalize and simplify the data presented to the Trustees and the process by which that data was prepared and organized was regarded as a success by all parties. We should continue to look for opportunities to reduce and simplify the presentation of 15(c) data, especially in the area of Fund profitability. The Fund "Dashboard" volume presents a large volume of Fund data on a single page. If it is continued, the Trustees may wish to consider receiving the underlying Lipper data on CD, rather than the current paper volumes.

Respectfully submitted,
Steven E. Asher

Fund Profile – Columbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund

Summary

^g For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2008, the fund's Class A shares returned negative 5.36% without sales charge.

^g The fund trailed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index,¹ but performed better than its peer group average, the Lipper Connecticut Municipal Debt Funds Classification.²

^g Bonds in the mid-to-lower quality tiers held back performance compared to the benchmark. We believe the fund had less exposure than the average fund in its peer group to mid-quality bonds and bonds with the longest maturities, which helped it outperform.

For fixed-income funds the vertical axis shows the average credit quality of the bonds owned, and the horizontal axis shows interest rate sensitivity as measured by a bond's duration (short, intermediate or long). All of these numbers are drawn from the data most recently provided by the fund and entered into Morningstar's database as of quarter-end. Although the data gathered is from reliable sources, Morningstar cannot guarantee its completeness and accuracy. Information shown is as of 06/30/08.

Performance Information – Columbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund

Growth of a $10,000 investment 11/01/98 – 10/31/08

The chart above shows the growth in value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Class A shares of Columbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund during the stated time period, and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares. The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index is considered representative of the broad market for investment-grade, tax exempt bonds with maturities of at least one year. 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.

The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 4.75% for Class A 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.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Please see the fund's prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and the 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 Connecticut Tax-Exempt 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 Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund

For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2008, the fund's Class A shares returned negative 5.36% without sales charge. The fund's benchmark, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index returned negative 3.30%.¹ The average return of the fund's peer group, the Lipper Connecticut Municipal Debt Funds Classification, was negative 6.43%.² The fund's shortfall to its benchmark was the result of two factors: the index is national in scope and it has less exposure than the fund to longer-term (20 to 30 years) and mid-to-lower quality sectors, which were underperformers during the period. We believe the fund outperformed its peer group average because it had less exposure to the longest maturity bonds and to weaker performing sectors.

Economic slowdown has sharp impact

Lower and medium quality fund holdings and those with the longest maturities hurt results. We achieved better returns among intermediate-term prerefunded bonds, which are backed by escrowed government securities. Bonds of Puerto Rico, which are exempt from state and federal income taxes, also hurt returns. We attribute the fund's outperformance of its peer group to our smaller exposure to medium quality bonds and to bonds with the longest maturities.

Connecticut feels recession impact

Connecticut may have been one of the first states to fall into recession. Payroll growth has stalled, higher unemployment has eaten into retail activity, and housing data—existing home sales and housing starts—continue to sag. Fairfield County, with its ties to Wall Street and the financial industry, has been especially hard hit. Manufacturing, including the state's aerospace industry, has slumped in tune with slowing worldwide demand.

Looking ahead, we believe that depressed home prices could soon attract buyers. New initiatives in alternative energy and biotech also offer potential to fuel renewed growth. However, we believe that the forces weighing on Connecticut's economy, including high living costs, heavy traffic and costly energy, will continue to hold back expansion and limit new investment.

A cautious, deliberate approach

Interest income from certain tax-exempt bonds may be subject to certain state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax. Capital gains are not exempt from income taxes.

Single-state municipal bond funds pose additional risks due to limited geographical diversification.

Notes to Financial Statements – Columbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund
October 31, 2008

Note 1. Organization

Columbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt 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 exempt from federal income tax and Connecticut individual income tax and of capital appreciation, consistent with moderate fluctuation of principal.

Fund Shares

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

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Security Valuation

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

Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.

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

Columbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund, October 31, 2008

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 disclo sures.

Futures Contracts

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

Indemnification

Note 3. Federal Tax Information

For the year ended October 31, 2008, permanent book and tax basis differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for market discount reclassification and discount accretion/premium amortization on debt instruments were identified and reclassified among the components of the Fund's net assets as follows:

Undistributed Net Investment Income				Accumulated Net Realized Gain				Paid-In Capital
$	(29,295	)		$	(47,944	)		$	77,239

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 October 31, 2008 and October 31, 2007 was as follows:

	October 31,
	2008		2007
Tax-Exempt Income	$	3,739,148	$	4,022,563
Ordinary Income*		72,275		2,023
Long-Term Capital Gains		1,168,639		1,364,463

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

As of October 31, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed Tax-Exempt Income				Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains				Net Unrealized Depreciation*
$	384,549			$	252,127			$	(6,595,546	)

* The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation are primarily due to discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities.

Unrealized appreciation and depreciation at October 31, 2008, based on cost of investments for federal income tax purposes, were:

Unrealized appreciation	$	648,196
Unrealized depreciation		(7,243,742	)
Net unrealized depreciation	$	(6,595,546	)

Columbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund, October 31, 2008

result of this evaluation, management has concluded that FIN 48 did not have any effect on the Fund's financial statements and no cumulative effect adjustments were recorded. 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, administrative and other services to the Fund. Columbia receives a monthly investment advisory fee based on the Fund's pro-rata portion of the combined average daily net assets of the Fund, Columbia California Tax-Exempt Fund, Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund and Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Fund as follows:

Combined Average Daily Net Assets	Annual Fee Rate
First $1 billion		0.50	%
$1 billion to $3 billion		0.45	%
Over $3 billion		0.40	%

For the year ended October 31, 2008, the Fund's effective investment advisory fee rate was 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees

For the year ended October 31, 2008, the amount charged to the Fund by affiliates included on the Statement of Operations under "Pricing and bookkeeping fees" aggregated to $1,952.

Transfer Agent Fee

Columbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund, October 31, 2008

Underwriting Discounts, Service and Distribution Fees

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 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.

Note 5. Custody Credits

For the year ended October 31, 2008, these custody credits reduced total expenses by $1,109 for the Fund.

Columbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund, October 31, 2008

Note 6. Portfolio Information

Prior to October 16, 2008, the Fund 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, both provided by State Street. Interest on the committed line of credit was 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 was accrued and apportioned among the participating funds pro rata based on their relative net assets. Interest on the uncommitted line of credit was 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 charged an annual operations agency fee of $40,000 for the committed line of credit and was able to charge an annual administration fee of $15,000 for the uncommitted line of credit. The commitme nt fee, the operations agency fee and the administration fee were accrued and apportioned among the participating funds pro rata based on their relative net assets.

For the year ended October 31, 2008, the Fund did not borrow under these arrangements.

Note 8. Shares of Beneficial Interest

As of October 31, 2008, three shareholders held 10.2% of the Fund's 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 Fund.

Note 9. Significant Risks and Contingencies

Sector Focus Risk

The Fund may focus its investments in certain sectors, subjecting it to greater risk than a fund that is less focused.

Geographic Concentration Risk

The Fund had greater than 5% of its total net assets at October 31, 2008 invested in debt obligations issued by each of Connecticut and Puerto Rico and their political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities. The Fund is more susceptible to economic and political factors adversely affecting issuers of the state's or territory's municipal securities than are municipal bond funds that are not concentrated to the same extent in these issuers.

Legal Proceedings

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.

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.

Columbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund, October 31, 2008

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.

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 Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund (the "Fund") (a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I) at October 31, 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 audit s. 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.

We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Consideration and Approval of Advisory Agreements

The nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the funds under the Agreements. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Columbia and its affiliates to the funds and the resources dedicated to the funds by Columbia and its affiliates. Among other things, the Trustees considered (i) Columbia's ability (including its personnel and other resources, compensation programs for personnel involved in fund management, reputation and other attributes) to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified research, advisory and supervisory investment professionals; (ii) the portfolio management services provided by those investment professionals; and (iii) the trade execution services provided on behalf of the funds. For each fund, the Trustees also considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a mutual f und that is part of a family of funds offering exposure to a variety of asset classes

and investment disciplines and providing a variety of fund and shareholder services. After reviewing those and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the Agreements, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided supported the continuation of the Agreements.

Investment performance of the funds and Columbia. The Trustees reviewed information about the performance of each fund over various time periods, including information prepared by an independent third-party data provider that compared the performance of each fund to the performance of peer groups of mutual funds and performance benchmarks. The Trustees also reviewed a description of the third party's methodology for identifying each fund's peer group for purposes of performance and expense comparisons. The Trustees also considered additional information that the Advisory Fees and Expenses Committee requested from Columbia relating to funds that presented relatively weaker performance and/or relatively higher expenses. In the case of each fund whose performance lagged that of a relevant peer group for certain (although not necessarily all) periods, the Trustees concluded that other factors relevant to performance were sufficient, in light of other considerations, to warrant continuation of the fund's Agreements. Those factors varied from fund to fund, but included one or more of the following: (i) that the fund's performance, although lagging in certain recent periods, was stronger over the longer term; (ii) that the underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions that were reasonable and consistent with the fund's investment strategy and policies and that the fund was performing within a reasonable range of expectations, given those investment decisions, market conditions and the fund's investment strategy; (iii) that the fund's performance was competitive when compared to other relevant performance benchmarks or peer groups; (iv) that Columbia had taken or was taking steps designed to help improve the fund's investment performance, including, but not limited to, replacing portfolio managers or modifying investment str ategies; and (v) that Columbia proposed to waive advisory fees or cap the expenses of the fund.

The Trustees noted that, through April 30, 2008, Columbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund's performance was in the second quintile (where the best performance would be in the first quintile) for the one-year period, in the third quintile for the three- and five-year periods, and in the first quintile for the ten-year period, of the peer group selected by an independent third-party data provider for purposes of performance comparisons.

The Trustees considered that Columbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund's total expenses were in the third quintile and actual management fees were in the second quintile (where the lowest fees and expenses would be in the first quintile) of the peer group selected by an independent third-party data provider for purposes of expense comparisons.

Other Factors. The Trustees also considered other factors, which included but were not limited to the following:

• the extent to which each fund had operated in accordance with its investment objective and investment restrictions, the nature and scope of the compliance programs of the funds and Columbia and the compliance-related resources that Columbia and its affiliates were providing to the funds;

• the nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services overseen and performed by Columbia and its affiliates, both under the Agreements and under separate agreements for the provision of transfer agency and administrative services;

• so-called "fall-out benefits" to Columbia and its affiliates, such as the engagement of its affiliates to provide distribution, brokerage and transfer agency services to the funds, and the benefits of research made available to Columbia by reason of brokerage commissions generated by the funds' securities transactions, as well as possible conflicts of interest associated with those fall-out and other benefits, and the reporting, disclosure and other processes in place to disclose and monitor those possible conflicts of interest; and

• the report provided by the funds' independent fee consultant, which included information about and analysis of the funds' fees, expenses and performance.

Summary of Management Fee Evaluation by
Independent Fee Consultant

EXCERPTS FROM REPORT OF INDEPENDENT FEE CONSULTANT TO THE FUNDS SUPERVISED BY THE COLUMBIA ATLANTIC BOARD

November 3, 2008

I. Overview

On February 9, 2005, Columbia Management Advisors, LLC ("CMA") and Columbia Management Distributors, Inc.¹ ("CMD") agreed to the New York Attorney General's Assurance of Discontinuance ("AOD"). Among other things, the AOD stipulates that CMA may manage or advise a Columbia Fund ("Columbia Fund" and, together with some or all of such funds, the "Columbia Funds") only if the Independent Members of the Columbia Fund's Board of Trustees appoint a Senior Officer or retain an Independent Fee Consultant ("IFC") who is to manage the process by which proposed management fees are negotiated. The AOD further stipulates that the Senior Officer or IFC is to prepare a written annual evaluation of the fee negotiation process.

A. Role of the Independent Fee Consultant

B. Elements Involved in Managing the Fee Negotiation Process

In preparing the report required by the AOD, the IFC must consider at least the following six factors set forth in the AOD:

1. The nature and quality of CMA's services, including the Fund's performance;

2. Management fees (including any components thereof) charged by other mutual fund companies for like services;

3. Possible economies of scale as the Fund grows larger;

4. Management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of CMA for like services;

5. Costs to CMA and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit; and

6. Profit margins of CMA and its affiliates from supplying such services.

C. Organization of the Annual Evaluation

¹ CMA and CMD are subsidiaries of Columbia Management Group, LLC ("CMG"), and are the successors to the entities named in the AOD.

Unless otherwise stated or required by the context, this report covers only the Atlantic Funds, which are also referred as the "Funds."

B. Nature and Quality of Services, Including Performance

C. Management Fees Charged by Other Mutual Fund Companies

fourth or fifth quintiles. The higher actual management fee rankings of certain Excelsior Funds are due in part to fee schedules that are higher than standard Columbia Fund fee schedules at current asset levels. After discussion with the Trustees, CMA is proposing to lower the management fees on three of these Funds.

D. Trustees' Fee and Performance Evaluation Process

E. Potential Economies of Scale

F. Management Fees Charged to Institutional Clients

G. Revenues, Expenses, and Profits

between fund size and profitability, with smaller funds generally operating at a loss.

III. Recommendations

1. Criteria for review. The Trustees may wish to consider modifying the criteria for classifying a fund as a "Review Fund" to include criteria that focus exclusively on performance without regard to expense or fee levels. For example, a fund whose one-year or three-year performance was median or below for four consecutive years could be treated as a Review Fund. When we applied such criteria to the Funds, several additional Funds would have been added to the list of Review Funds.

2. Profitability data. CMG should present to the Trustees each year the profitability of each Fund, each investment style and each complex (of which Atlantic is one) calculated as follows:

a. Management-only profitability should be calculated without reference to any Private Bank expense.

d. Distribution only: This should include all Private Bank expenses other than those attributable to sub-transfer agency services.

Therefore, the following data need not be provided:

1. Adjusting total profitability data for Private Bank expenses

2. Adjusting profitability excluding distribution by backing out all Private Bank expenses.

3. Potential economies of scale. CMG and the IFC should continue to work on methods for more precisely quantifying to the extent possible the sources and magnitude of any economies of scale as CMG's mutual fund assets under management increase, to the extent that the data allows for meaningful year-over-year comparisons. The framework suggested in Section IV.D.4 may prove to be a useful model for such an analysis.

4. Competitive breakpoint analysis. As part of the annual fee evaluation process, the breakpoints of a select group of Atlantic Funds (which would differ each year) should continue to be compared to those of industry rivals to ensure that the Funds' breakpoint schedules remain within industry norms. As breakpoint schedules change relatively little each year, performing such a comparison for each Atlantic Fund each year would not be an efficient use of Trustee and CMG resources.

5. Cost allocation methodology. CMG's point that the current ABC system of allocating indirect expenses creates anomalous results in several cases, including sub-advised Funds, is well-taken. We would like to work with CMG over the forthcoming year on alternatives to the current system of allocating indirect expenses that (1) resolve the anomalies, (2) limit the amount of incremental effort on CMG's part and (3) remain faithful to the general principle that expenses should be allocated by time and effort to the extent reasonably possible.

6. Management fee disparities. CMG and the Atlantic Trustees, as part of any future study of management fees, should analyze the differences in management fee schedules, principally arising out of the reorganization of the former Excelsior Funds as Atlantic Funds. As part of that analysis, CMG should provide an explanation for any significant fee differences among comparable funds across fund families managed by CMA, such as differences in the management styles of different Funds included the same Lipper category. Finally, whenever CMG proposes a

7. Tax-exempt Fund expense data. The expense rankings of certain tax-exempt Funds were adversely affected by including certain investment-related interest expenses that Lipper excluded in calculating the expense ratios of competitors. We recommend that CMG follow the Lipper practice and exclude such interest expenses from data submitted to Lipper to avoid unfairly disadvantaging the tax-exempt Funds.

8. Reduction of volume of paper documents submitted. The effort to rationalize and simplify the data presented to the Trustees and the process by which that data was prepared and organized was regarded as a success by all parties. We should continue to look for opportunities to reduce and simplify the presentation of 15(c) data, especially in the area of Fund profitability. The Fund "Dashboard" volume presents a large volume of Fund data on a single page. If it is continued, the Trustees may wish to consider receiving the underlying Lipper data on CD, rather than the current paper volumes.

Respectfully submitted,
Steven E. Asher

Fund Profile – Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund

Summary

^g For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2008, the fund's Class A shares returned negative 5.46% without sales charge.

^g The fund trailed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index¹, but performed better than its peer group average, the Lipper Massachusetts Municipal Debt Funds Classification.²

^g Bonds in the mid-to-lower quality tiers held back performance compared to the benchmark. We believe the fund outperformed its peer group because it was focused on bonds in the 10-25 year maturity range and had less exposure to weaker performing sectors.

Portfolio Management

Gary Swayze has managed the fund since July 1998 and has been with the advisor or its predecessors or affiliate organizations since 1997.

The chart above shows the growth in value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Class A shares of Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund during the stated time period, and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares. The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index is considered representative of the broad market for investment-grade, tax exempt bonds with maturities of at least one year.

The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 4.75% for Class A 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.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt 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.

Analyzing your fund's expenses by share class

Compare with other funds

05/01/08 – 10/31/08

	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 (%)

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

Portfolio Manager's Report – Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund

For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2008, the fund's Class A shares returned negative 5.46% without sales charge. The fund's benchmark, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index, returned negative 3.30%¹, and the average return of the fund's peer group, the Lipper Massachusetts Municipal Debt Funds Classification, was negative 7.80%.² The fund's shortfall to its benchmark was the result of two factors: the index is national in scope and it has less exposure than the fund to longer-term (20 to 30 years) and mid-to-lower quality sectors, which were underperformers during the period. We believe the fund outperformed its peer group average because it had a greater focus on bonds in the 10-25 year maturity range and comparatively less exposure to weaker performing sectors.

outlays. Meanwhile, the financial crisis has led to job cuts in the high-paying financial sector, as well as in construction and manufacturing.

The governor has called for the elimination of 1000 public jobs and reductions in the commonwealth's pension contribution. These measures would close most of the gap but the rest will have to come from the Commonwealth's rainy day fund. Once past the current crisis, we believe that Massachusetts will benefit from its unquestioned strengths in the biotech, financial services, technology and education industries.

A cautious, deliberate approach

Interest income from certain tax-exempt bonds may be subject to certain state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax. Capital gains are not exempt from income taxes.

The fund is non-diversified, which generally means that it may invest a greater percentage of its total assets in the securities of fewer issuers than a "diversified" fund. This increases the risk that a change in the value of any one investment held by the fund could affect the overall value of the fund more than it would affect that of a diversified fund holding a greater number of investments. Accordingly, the fund's value will likely be more volatile than the value of more diversified funds

Single-state municipal bond funds pose additional risks due to limited geographical diversification.

Notes to Financial Statements – Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund
October 31, 2008

Note 1. Organization

Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund (the "Fund"), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the "Trust"), is a non-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 exempt from federal income tax and Massachusetts individual income tax and of capital appreciation, consistent with moderate fluctuation of principal.

Fund Shares

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Security Valuation

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

Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.

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

Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund, October 31, 2008

Security Transactions

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.

Floating-Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held

The Fund may sell a fixed-rate bond ("Fixed-Rate Bond") to a broker who deposits the Fixed-Rate Bond into a special-purpose entity from which are issued floating-rate notes ("Floating-Rate Notes") that are sold to third parties. The Floating-Rate Notes have interest rates that reset weekly and the holders of the Floating-Rate Notes have the option to tender their notes to the broker at par at each reset date. A residual certificate (an "Inverse Floater"), which pays interest equal to the difference between the Fixed-Rate Bond and the Floating-Rate Notes, is also issued by the special-purpose entity. The Inverse Floater also gives the holder the right to cause the Floating-Rate Note to be called at par and to require transfer of the Fixed-Rate Bond to the holder of the Inverse Floater, thereby liquidating the special-purpose entity. In certain transactions, the Fund ultimately receives the Inverse Floater plus the cash equivalent of the proceeds raised from the issuance of the Floating-Rate Notes in exchange for the Fixed-Rate Bonds.

Although the Fund physically holds the Inverse Floater, the transaction is accounted for as a secured borrowing pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities ("SFAS 140"), because of its unilateral right to cause the liquidation of the special-purpose entity and recover the Fixed-Rate Bond it originally sold to the broker. In accordance with SFAS 140, the Fund includes the Fixed-Rate Bond on the Portfolio of Investments and recognizes the Floating-Rate Notes as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Note 3. Federal Tax Information

For the year ended October 31, 2008, permanent book and tax basis differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for distribution 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 Gain				Paid-In Capital
$	(15,529	)		$	15,528			$	1

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 October 31, 2008 and October 31, 2007 was as follows:

	October 31,
	2008		2007
Tax-Exempt Income	$	5,714,770	$	6,271,824
Ordinary Income*		3,261		73,183
Long-Term Capital Gains		—		1,429,744

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

As of October 31, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed Tax-Exempt Income				Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains				Net Unrealized Depreciation*
$	311,934			$	783,051			$	(5,143,257	)

* The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized depreciation are primarily due to discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities.

Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund, October 31, 2008

Unrealized appreciation and depreciation at October 31, 2008, based on cost of investments for federal income tax purposes, were:

Unrealized appreciation	$	3,830,358
Unrealized depreciation		(8,973,615	)
Net unrealized depreciation	$	(5,143,257	)

Capital loss carryfowards of $246,754 were utilized during the year ended October 31, 2008.

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, administrative and other services to the Fund. Columbia receives a monthly investment advisory fee based on the Fund's pro-rata portion of the combined average daily net assets of the Fund, Columbia California Tax-Exempt Fund, Columbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund and Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Fund as follows:

Combined Average Daily Net Assets	Annual Fee Rate
First $1 billion		0.50	%
$1 billion to $3 billion		0.45	%
Over $3 billion		0.40	%

For the year ended October 31, 2008, the Fund's effective investment advisory fee rate was 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees

Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund, October 31, 2008

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 October 31, 2008, the amount charged to the Fund by affiliates included on the Statement of Operations under "Pricing and bookkeeping fees" aggregated to $1,952.

Transfer Agent Fee

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 October 31, 2008, the Distributor has retained net underwriting discounts of $10,095 on sales of the Fund's Class A shares and received net CDSC fees of $13, $14,829 and $1,922 on Class A, Class B and Class C share redemptions, respectively.

The Fund has adopted distribution and shareholder servicing plans (the "Plans") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, which require the payment of distribution and service fees. The fees are intended to compensate the Distributor and/or eligible selling and/or servicing agents for selling shares of the Fund and providing services to investors. The service fee is equal to 0.10% annually of the net assets attributable to shares of the Fund issued prior to December 1, 1994 and 0.25% annually of the net assets attributable to shares issued thereafter. This arrangement results in an annual rate of service fee for all shares that is a blend between the 0.10% and 0.25% rates. For the year ended October 31, 2008, the Fund's effective service fee rate was 0.23% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B and Class C shares.

Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees

Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund, October 31, 2008

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.

Note 5. Custody Credits

Note 8. Significant Risks and Contingencies

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial Security Assurance, Inc.		8.2
AMBAC Assurance Corp.		7.0
Financial Guaranty Insurance Co.		6.8

Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund, October 31, 2008

Geographic Concentration Risk

The Fund had greater than 5% of its total net assets at October 31, 2008 invested in debt obligations issued by each of Massachusetts and Puerto Rico and their political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities. The Fund is more susceptible to economic and political factors adversely affecting issuers of the state's or territory's municipal securities than are municipal bond funds that are not concentrated to the same extent in these issuers.

Sector Focus Risk

The Fund may focus its investments in certain sectors, subjecting it to greater risk than a fund that is less focused.

Non-Diversified Risk

The Fund is a non-diversified Fund, which generally means that it may invest a greater percentage of its total assets in the securities of fewer issuers than a "diversified" fund. This increases the risk that a change in the value of any one investment held by the Fund could affect the overall value of the Fund more than it would affect that of a diversified fund holding a greater number of investments. Accordingly, the Fund's value will likely be more volatile than the value of more diversified funds. The Fund may not operate as a non-diversified fund at all times.

Tax Development Risk

Legal Proceedings

Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund, October 31, 2008

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.

To the Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and the Shareholders of Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt 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 Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund (the "Fund") (a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I) at October 31, 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 aud its. 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 October 31, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Consideration and Approval of Advisory Agreements

Investment performance of the funds and Columbia. The Trustees reviewed information about the performance of each fund over various time periods, including information prepared by an independent third-party data provider that compared the performance of each fund to the performance of peer groups of mutual funds and performance benchmarks. The Trustees also reviewed a description of the third party's methodology for identifying each fund's peer group for purposes of performance and expense comparisons. The Trustees also considered additional information that the Advisory Fees and Expenses Committee requested from Columbia relating to funds that presented relatively weaker performance and/or relatively higher expenses. In the case of each fund whose performance lagged that of a relevant peer group for certain (although not necessarily all) periods, the Trustees concluded that other factors relevant to performance were sufficient, in light of other considerations, to warrant continuation of the fund's Agreements. Those factors varied from fund to fund, but included one or more of the following: (i) that the fund's performance, although lagging in certain recent periods, was stronger over the longer term; (ii) that the underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions that were reasonable and consistent with the fund's investment strategy and policies and that the fund was performing within a reasonable range of expectations, given those investment decisions, market conditions and the fund's investment strategy; (iii) that the fund's performance was competitive when compared to other relevant performance benchmarks or peer groups; (iv) that Columbia had taken or was taking steps designed to help improve the fund's investment performance, including, but not limited to, replacing portfolio managers or modifying investment str ategies; and (v) that Columbia proposed to waive advisory fees or cap the expenses of the fund.

The Trustees noted that, through April 30, 2008, Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund's performance was in the third quintile (where the best performance would be in the first quintile) for the one-year period, in the second quintile for the three- and five-year periods, and in the first quintile for the ten-year period, of the peer group selected by an independent third-party data provider for purposes of performance comparisons.

The Trustees considered that Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund's total expenses were in the fifth and actual management fees were in the second quintile (where the lowest fees and expenses would be in the first quintile) of

the peer group selected by an independent third-party data provider for purposes of expense comparisons.

Other Factors. The Trustees also considered other factors, which included but were not limited to the following:

• the report provided by the funds' independent fee consultant, which included information about and analysis of the funds' fees, expenses and performance.

Summary of Management Fee Evaluation by
Independent Fee Consultant

EXCERPTS FROM REPORT OF INDEPENDENT FEE CONSULTANT TO THE FUNDS SUPERVISED BY THE COLUMBIA ATLANTIC BOARD

November 3, 2008

I. Overview

On February 9, 2005, Columbia Management Advisors, LLC ("CMA") and Columbia Management Distributors, Inc.¹ ("CMD") agreed to the New York Attorney General's Assurance of Discontinuance ("AOD"). Among other things, the AOD stipulates that CMA may manage or advise a Columbia Fund ("Columbia Fund" and, together with some or all of such funds, the "Columbia Funds") only if the Independent Members of the Columbia Fund's Board of Trustees appoint a Senior Officer or retain an Independent Fee Consultant ("IFC") who is to manage the process by which proposed management fees are negotiated. The AOD further stipulates that the Senior Officer or IFC is to prepare a written annual evaluation of the fee negotiation process.

A. Role of the Independent Fee Consultant

B. Elements Involved in Managing the Fee Negotiation Process

In preparing the report required by the AOD, the IFC must consider at least the following six factors set forth in the AOD:

1. The nature and quality of CMA's services, including the Fund's performance;

2. Management fees (including any components thereof) charged by other mutual fund companies for like services;

3. Possible economies of scale as the Fund grows larger;

4. Management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of CMA for like services;

5. Costs to CMA and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit; and

6. Profit margins of CMA and its affiliates from supplying such services.

C. Organization of the Annual Evaluation

¹ CMA and CMD are subsidiaries of Columbia Management Group, LLC ("CMG"), and are the successors to the entities named in the AOD.

Unless otherwise stated or required by the context, this report covers only the Atlantic Funds, which are also referred as the "Funds."

II. Summary of Findings

A. General

B. Nature and Quality of Services, Including Performance

C. Management Fees Charged by Other Mutual Fund Companies

11. The highest concentration of low-expense Funds is found among the equity and tax-exempt fixed income Funds. The 12 former Excelsior Funds have relatively high fees and expenses, with half of those Funds ranking in either the fourth or fifth quintiles. The higher actual management fee rankings of certain Excelsior Funds are due in part to fee schedules that are higher than standard Columbia Fund fee schedules at current asset levels. After discussion with the Trustees, CMA is proposing to lower the management fees on three of these Funds.

D. Trustees' Fee and Performance Evaluation Process

E. Potential Economies of Scale

F. Management Fees Charged to Institutional Clients

G. Revenues, Expenses, and Profits

III. Recommendations

2. Profitability data. CMG should present to the Trustees each year the profitability of each Fund, each investment style and each complex (of which Atlantic is one) calculated as follows:

a. Management-only profitability should be calculated without reference to any Private Bank expense.

d. Distribution only: This should include all Private Bank expenses other than those attributable to sub-transfer agency services.

Therefore, the following data need not be provided:

1. Adjusting total profitability data for Private Bank expenses

2. Adjusting profitability excluding distribution by backing out all Private Bank expenses.

assess the applicability of the proposed change to the relevant Atlantic Fund or Funds.

Respectfully submitted,
Steven E. Asher

Fund Profile – Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Fund

Summary

^g For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2008, the fund's Class A shares returned negative 7.86% without sales charge.

^g The fund underperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index¹ and its peer group average, the Lipper New York Municipal Debt Funds Classification.²

^g Bonds in the mid-to-lower quality tiers held back performance compared to the benchmark and peer group performance. We believe that longer maturity bonds also hampered performance relative to the peer group average.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia New York Tax-Exempt 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 New York Tax-Exempt Fund

For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2008, the fund's Class A shares returned negative 7.86% without sales charge. That was worse than the negative 3.30% return of the fund's benchmark, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index¹, and behind the negative 7.30% average return of its peer group, the Lipper New York Municipal Debt Funds Classification.² The fund's shortfall to its benchmark was the result of two factors: the index is national in scope and it has less exposure than the fund to longer-term (20 to 30 years) and mid-to-lower quality sectors, which were underperformers during the period. We believe the fund underperformed its peer group average because it had more exposure to bonds with longer maturities and medium quality in the health care industry and bonds issued by assisted living and other retirement facilities.

Economic slowdown has sharp impact

A weak recovery possible next year

that revenue flow significantly. Job cuts in manufacturing and construction, along with falling prices and weak sales in the housing sector are also pressuring the state's budget, which already faced a multi-billion dollar deficit. Even if New York emerges from recession next year, its reliance on the volatile financial services sector and older manufacturing industries could keep growth in check. On the plus side, IBM's large nanotechnology investment at the University of Albany should brighten that region's job picture modestly.

A cautious, deliberate approach

Interest income from certain tax-exempt bonds may be subject to certain state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax. Capital gains are not exempt from income taxes.

Single-state municipal bond funds pose additional risks due to limited geographical diversification.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and the Shareholders of Columbia New York Tax-Exempt 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 New York Tax-Exempt Fund (the "Fund") (a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I) at October 31, 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 October 31, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Consideration and Approval of Advisory Agreements

Investment performance of the funds and Columbia. The Trustees reviewed information about the performance of each fund over various time periods, including information prepared by an independent third-party data provider that compared the performance of each fund to the performance of peer groups of mutual funds and performance benchmarks. The Trustees also reviewed a description of the third party's methodology for identifying each fund's peer group for purposes of performance and expense comparisons. The Trustees also considered additional information that the Advisory Fees and Expenses Committee requested from Columbia relating to funds that presented relatively weaker performance and/or relatively higher expenses. In the case of each fund whose performance lagged that of a relevant peer group for certain (although not necessarily all) periods, the Trustees concluded that other factors relevant to performance were sufficient, in light of other considerations, to warrant continuation of the fund's Agreements. Those factors varied from fund to fund, but included one or more of the following: (i) that the fund's performance, although lagging in certain recent periods, was stronger over the longer term; (ii) that the underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions that were reasonable and consistent with the fund's investment strategy and policies and that the fund was performing within a reasonable range of expectations, given those investment decisions, market conditions and the fund's investment strategy; (iii) that the fund's performance was competitive when compared to other relevant performance benchmarks or peer groups; (iv) that Columbia had taken or was taking steps designed to help improve the fund's investment performance, including, but not limited to, replacing portfolio managers or modifying investment str ategies; and (v) that Columbia proposed to waive advisory fees or cap the expenses of the fund.

The Trustees noted that, through April 30, 2008, Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Fund's performance was in the fourth quintile (where the best performance would be in the first quintile) for the one-year period, in the third quintile for the three-year period, in the second quintile for the five-year period and in the first quintile for the ten-year period, of the peer group selected by an independent third-party data provider for purposes of performance comparisons.

The Trustees considered that Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Fund's total expenses were in the third quintile and actual management fees were in the first quintile (where the lowest fees and expenses would be in the first quintile) of the peer group selected by an independent third-party data provider for purposes of expense comparisons.

Other Factors. The Trustees also considered other factors, which included but were not limited to the following:

ⁿthe report provided by the funds' independent fee consultant, which included information about and analysis of the funds' fees, expenses and performance.

Summary of Management Fee Evaluation by
Independent Fee Consultant

EXCERPTS FROM REPORT OF INDEPENDENT FEE CONSULTANT TO THE FUNDS SUPERVISED BY THE COLUMBIA ATLANTIC BOARD

November 3, 2008

I. Overview

On February 9, 2005, Columbia Management Advisors, LLC ("CMA") and Columbia Management Distributors, Inc.¹ ("CMD") agreed to the New York Attorney General's Assurance of Discontinuance ("AOD"). Among other things, the AOD stipulates that CMA may manage or advise a Columbia Fund ("Columbia Fund" and, together with some or all of such funds, the "Columbia Funds") only if the Independent Members of the Columbia Fund's Board of Trustees appoint a Senior Officer or retain an Independent Fee Consultant ("IFC") who is to manage the process by which proposed management fees are negotiated. The AOD further stipulates that the Senior Officer or IFC is to prepare a written annual evaluation of the fee negotiation process.

A. Role of the Independent Fee Consultant

The AOD charges the IFC with "managing the process by which proposed management fees...to be charged the Columbia Fund are negotiated so that they are negotiated in a manner which is at arms' length and reasonable and consistent with this Assurance of Discontinuance." The AOD also provides that CMA "may manage or advise a Columbia Fund only if the reasonableness of the proposed management fees is determined by the Board of Trustees...using...an annual independent written evaluation prepared by or under the direction of...the Independent Fee Consultant." Therefore, the AOD makes clear that the IFC does not supplant the Trustees in negotiating management fees with CMA, nor does the IFC substitute his or her judgment for that of the Trustees with respect to the reasonableness of proposed fees or any other matter that is committed to the business judgment of the Trustees.

B. Elements Involved in Managing the Fee Negotiation Process

In preparing the report required by the AOD, the IFC must consider at least the following six factors set forth in the AOD:

1. The nature and quality of CMA's services, including the Fund's performance;

2. Management fees (including any components thereof) charged by other mutual fund companies for like services;

3. Possible economies of scale as the Fund grows larger;

4. Management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of CMA for like services;

5. Costs to CMA and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit; and

6. Profit margins of CMA and its affiliates from supplying such services.

C. Organization of the Annual Evaluation

¹ CMA and CMD are subsidiaries of Columbia Management Group, LLC ("CMG"), and are the successors to the entities named in the AOD.

Unless otherwise stated or required by the context, this report covers only the Atlantic Funds, which are also referred as the "Funds."

II. Summary of Findings

A. General

B. Nature and Quality of Services, Including Performance

C. Management Fees Charged by Other Mutual Fund Companies

D. Trustees' Fee and Performance Evaluation Process

E. Potential Economies of Scale

F. Management Fees Charged to Institutional Clients

G. Revenues, Expenses, and Profits

Funds), some Atlantic Funds have relatively high pre-tax profit margins, when calculated solely with respect to management revenues and expenses, while other Atlantic Funds operate at a loss. There is a positive relationship between fund size and profitability, with smaller funds generally operating at a loss.

III. Recommendations

2) Profitability data. CMG should present to the Trustees each year the profitability of each Fund, each investment style and each complex (of which Atlantic is one) calculated as follows:

a. Management-only profitability should be calculated without reference to any Private Bank expense.

d. Distribution only: This should include all Private Bank expenses other than those attributable to sub-transfer agency services.

Therefore, the following data need not be provided:

1. Adjusting total profitability data for Private Bank expenses

2. Adjusting profitability excluding distribution by backing out all Private Bank expenses.

fund families managed by CMA, such as differences in the management styles of different Funds included the same Lipper category. Finally, whenever CMG proposes a management fee change or an expense cap for any mutual fund managed by CMA that is comparable to any Atlantic Fund, CMG should provide the Trustees with sufficient information about the proposal to allow the Trustees to assess the applicability of the proposed change to the relevant Atlantic Fund or Funds.

Economic Update – Columbia Tax-Exempt Bond Funds

The pace of economic growth ground to a halt during the 12-month period that began November 1, 2007 and ended October 31, 2008. Although economic growth was modestly positive at the beginning of the period, the economy slipped into recession in 2008, with little near-term relief in sight. A host of factors weighed on consumers and businesses alike.

A weakening economy and turmoil in the financial markets took a toll on consumer confidence, which plummeted to the lowest point ever in the 40-year history of the monthly survey. Consumer confidence is surveyed 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 4.50% to 1.0% during the 12-month period. Despite earlier concerns about inflation, a weak economic outlook has kept the Fed focused on stimulating economic growth through lowering borrowing rates. In fact, the one bright spot during this period of uncertainty has been lower energy and commodity prices. With oil trading near $60 per barrel at the end of the period, gasoline prices are expected to come down below $2 per gallon after peaking above $4 per gallon during the summer months.

Bonds eke out a small, positive return

The U.S. bond market seesawed during the 12-month period but managed to eke out a small gain as investors sought the relative safety of the highest quality sectors. After a weak start, bond prices in several sectors rose and yields declined as economic growth slowed and stock market volatility increased. The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield ended the period at just under 4.0%, nearly one-half percentage point lower than where it stood one year ago. In this environment, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (formerly the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index) returned 0.30%.¹ High-yield bonds disappointed as economic prospects weakened and default fears rose. The Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield, Cash Pay Index returned negative 26.43%.²

Stocks retreat as economic outlook darkens

Against a shifting economic backdrop, the U.S. stock market lost 36.10% for the 12-month period, as measured by the S&P 500 Index.³ Losses extended across all market caps and both growth and value, although value stocks held up somewhat better than growth stocks, as measured by their respective Russell indices.⁴ Stock markets outside the U.S. suffered even greater losses. The MSCI EAFE Index, a broad gauge of stock market performance in foreign developed markets, lost 46.62% (in U.S. dollars) for the period.⁵ Emerging stock markets, which have had a strong run over the past several years, were also caught in the downdraft. As investors backed away from risk, emerging markets suffered most of all. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned negative 56.22 % (in U.S. dollars).⁶

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

¹ The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (formerly the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index) is a market value-weighted index that tracks the daily price, coupon, pay-downs, and total return performance of fixed-rate, publicly placed, dollar-denominated, and non-convertible investment grade debt with at least $250 million par amount outstanding and with at least one year to final maturity.

² The Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield, Cash Pay Index tracks the performance of non-investment-grade corporate bonds.

³ The Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 Index tracks the performance of 500 widely held, large capitalization US stocks.

⁴ The Russell 1000 Index measures the performance of 1,000 of the largest U.S. 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.

⁵ The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure developed market equity performance, excluding the U.S. and Canada.

⁶ The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Emerging Markets Index is a widely accepted index composed of a sample of companies from 25 countries representing the global emerging stock markets.

^g For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2008, the fund's Class A shares returned negative 1.80% without sales charge. Class Z shares returned negative 1.53%.

^g The fund's return trailed both its benchmark, the Barclays Capital 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index,¹ as well as the average return of its peer group, the Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Classification.²

^g The fund had more exposure to longer-term bonds than its benchmark and, we believe, the average fund in its peer group, which hurt performance.

The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 3.25% for Class A shares (for the 1-year period), 4.75% for Class A shares (for the 5-year and 10-year periods) and 4.75% for Class T shares, respectively, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 3.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the fourth 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.

Prior to August 22, 2005, new purchases of Class A shares had a maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%.

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 shares are newer classes of shares, initially offered on November 18, 2002. Their returns include returns of Retail A shares (for Class A shares) and Retail B shares (for Class B and Class C shares) of the Galaxy Connecticut Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund (the "Galaxy Connecticut Fund") for periods prior to November 18, 2002 (adjusted, as applicable, to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class A, Class B and Class C shares). The returns shown for Class B and Class C shares also include the returns for Retail A shares (adjusted, as applicable, to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class B and Class C shares) for periods prior to inception of Retail B shares of the Galaxy Connecticut Fund (March 1, 2001). The returns shown for Class T shares include the returns of Retail A shares of the Galaxy Connecticut Fund for periods prior to November 18, 2002. Retail A share returns include returns of the BKB shares of the Galaxy Connecticut Fund for periods prior to June 26, 2001, the date on which BKB shares were converted to Retail A shares, and returns of shares of the Boston 1784 Connecticut Tax-Exempt Income Fund (the "1784 Connecticut Fund") (whose shares were initially offered on August 1, 1994) for periods prior to June 26, 2000. The returns for Class Z shares include the returns of Trust shares of the Galaxy Connecticut Fund for periods prior to November 18, 2002, and the returns of the 1784 Connecticut Fund for periods prior to June 26, 2000. No returns have been restated to reflect any differences in expenses such as distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees between any predecessor share class and the corresponding newer share class. If differences in expenses had been reflected, the returns shown for periods prior to the inception of the newer share classes would have been lower.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Connecticut Intermediate Municipal Bond 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 Connecticut Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund

For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2008, Class A shares of Columbia Connecticut Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund returned negative 1.80% without sales charge. Class Z shares returned negative 1.53%. By comparison, the Barclays Capital 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index¹ (formerly the Lehman Brothers 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index) returned positive 0.53%, while the Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Classification² had an average total return of negative 1.30%. We believe the fund underperformed its benchmark and the average fund in its peer group largely because we purchased several bonds with maturities ranging from eight to 15 years, which raised exposure to the weakest performing maturity range of the market. A late purchase of BBB-rated bonds also hurt performance but added to the overall yield in the portfolio, as did exposure to bonds issued by Puerto Rico or it s subdivisions. These bonds, which accounted for 12% of the fund's assets, have lower ratings and underperformed as the yield difference between higher and lower quality bonds widened.

On October 31, 2008, the fund's Class A shares had a 30-day SEC annualized yield of 3.38%. This equaled a taxable equivalent yield of 5.47% for shareholders in the 35.0% federal income tax bracket and taxed at the state's applicable state income tax rate. This tax rate does not reflect the phase out of exemptions or the reduction of the otherwise allowable deductions that occur when adjusted gross income exceeds certain levels.

A year of instability and uncertainty

In an environment of high volatility and low liquidity, investors sought shelter in bonds with the highest quality and shortest maturities. By the end of the period, the number of high quality bonds had fallen dramatically as a widening financial crisis threatened all aspects of the financial markets. The percentage of AAA-rated bonds in the index dropped from 65% in January to 32% in October. In June, MBIA and AMBAC, two large municipal insurers, were downgraded by major credit rating agencies. Against this backdrop, lower quality, longer-term securities were the weakest performers, with the worst performance coming from bonds with maturities of 12 to 17 years. In addition, the municipal market experienced selling pressure from mutual funds and hedge funds as the yield difference between high and low quality bonds widened and arbitrage trades became unprofitable.

Longer-term bonds hampered returns

While the fund benefited from a steady supply of new high quality issues, performance was hurt when we purchased some longer intermediate-term bonds at a time when the market favored shorter-term issues with less price volatility. Some of the new issues grew out of a change in federal law that allowed the state housing authority to issue bonds not subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT). For the past several years, the housing agency has maintained strong underwriting standards, including income

Quality and maturity breakdowns are calculated as a percentage of net assets. Ratings shown in the quality breakdown represent the highest rating assigned to a particular bond by one of the following nationally recognized rating agencies: Standard and Poor's, Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Fitch Ratings Ltd. Ratings are relative and subjective and are not absolute standards of quality. The fund's credit quality does not remove market risk.

The fund is actively managed and the composition of its portfolio will change over time.

documentation, minimum down payments and credit checks, so these new bonds offered good quality as well as attractive yields. At the same time, inflows to the fund were strong over the period, and we used the new cash to purchase bonds, including some longer intermediate-term issues, which although they hampered returns during this period, we believe have the potential to do well in a more stable environment. In addition, the fund had no exposure to bonds subject to the AMT, which aided performance because prices on bonds subject to the AMT declined as demand weakened and yields rose more than on other, comparable maturity municipal bonds.

A favorable but cautious economic outlook

We believe that Connecticut's diverse economy is in a good position to retain a stable credit rating for the state and its local municipalities as the state's aerospace and defense industries continue to benefit from strong domestic and international sales. Even so, there are risks going forward. A declining stock market and falling employment in the securities industry will have a negative impact on the state, especially in Fairfield County, where Wall Street employment—and now unemployment—is high. We expect municipal bond issuance to remain strong as the state takes advantage of relatively low interest rates. Credit selection and risk management will be especially important as the state works through this economic downturn.

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

Tax-exempt bonds involve special risks. The value of the fund will be affected by interest rate changes and the creditworthiness of issues held in the fund. When interest rates go up, bond prices generally drop and vice versa.

Interest income from certain tax-exempt bonds may be subject to certain state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax. Capital gains are not exempt from income taxes.

The Fund is non-diversified, which generally means that it may invest a greater percentage of its total assets in the securities of fewer issuers than a "diversified" fund. This increases the risk that a change in the value of any one investment held by the Fund could affect the overall value of the Fund more than it would affect that of a diversified fund holding a greater number of investments. Accordingly, the Fund's value will likely be more volatile than the value of more diversified funds.

Single-state municipal bond funds pose additional risks due to limited geographical diversification.

Growth of a $10,000 investment 11/01/98 – 10/31/08

The chart above shows the growth in value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Class A shares of Columbia Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund during the stated time period, and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares. The Barclays Capital 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index (formerly the Lehman Brothers 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index) tracks the performance of municipal bonds issued after December 31, 1990 with remaining maturities between 2 and 17 years and at least $7 million in principal amount outstanding. 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. The growth of a $10,000 investment with sales charge for Class A shares are calculated with an initial sales charge of 4.75%, which was the effective sales charge prior to August 22, 2005.

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 shares are newer classes of shares, initially offered on November 25, 2002. Their returns include returns of Retail A shares (for Class A shares) and Retail B shares (for Class B and Class C shares) of the Galaxy Intermediate Tax-Exempt Bond Fund (the "Galaxy Intermediate Tax-Exempt Fund") for periods prior to November 25, 2002 (adjusted, as applicable, to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class A, Class B and Class C shares). The returns shown for Class B and Class C shares also include the returns for Retail A shares (adjusted, as applicable, to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class B and Class C shares) for periods prior to inception of Retail B shares of the Galaxy Intermediate Tax-Exempt Fund (March 1, 2001). The returns shown for Class T shares include the returns of Retail A shares of the Galaxy Intermediate Tax-Exempt Fund for periods prior to November 25, 2002. Class T shares w ere initially offered on June 26, 2000. Retail A share returns include the returns of BKB shares of the Galaxy Intermediate Tax-Exempt Fund for periods prior to June 26, 2001, the date on which BKB shares were converted to Retail A shares, and the returns of shares of the Boston 1784 Tax-Exempt Medium-Term Income Fund (the "1784 Tax-Exempt Fund") (whose shares were initially offered on June 14, 1993) for periods prior to June 26, 2000. The returns for Class Z shares include the returns of Trust shares of the Galaxy Intermediate Tax-Exempt Fund for periods prior to November 25, 2002, and the returns of the 1784 Tax-Exempt Fund for periods prior to June 26, 2000. No returns have been restated to reflect any differences in expenses such as distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees between any predecessor share class and the corresponding newer share class. If differences in expenses had been reflected, the returns shown for periods prior to the inception of the newer share classes would have been lower.

For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2008, Class A shares of Columbia Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund returned negative 2.25% without sales charge. Class Z shares returned negative 2.05%. By comparison, the Barclays Capital 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index¹ (formerly the Lehman Brothers 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index) returned positive 0.53%, while the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Classification² had an average total return of negative 2.07%. Investments in longer-maturity bonds as well as lower-rated investment grade and non-rated issues hampered returns.

On May 5, 2008, Columbia Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund acquired Intermediate-Term Tax-Exempt Fund, a series of Excelsior Tax-Exempt Funds, Inc. The acquisition added to the fund's holdings of underperforming lower investment-grade and longer-maturity bonds and some shorter-maturity and high-grade names that fared better during the second half of the period.

On October 31, 2008, Columbia Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund's Class A shares had a 30-day SEC annualized yield of 3.86%. This equaled a taxable equivalent yield of 5.94% for shareholders in the 35.0% federal income tax bracket. This tax rate does not reflect the phase out of exemptions or the reduction of otherwise allowable deductions that occur when adjusted gross income exceeds certain levels. The fund's yield was higher than the average for its peer group.

Pressure on municipal bonds

Municipal bonds avoided the sharp price declines of stocks and high-yield bonds, but made little headway amid challenging market conditions. Throughout the year, credit ratings agencies downgraded municipal bond insurers because of worries that they might not have adequate capital to cover potential defaults. New issuance slowed as issuers postponed coming to market. In addition, institutions and non-traditional buyers, including hedge funds, were heavy sellers of municipal bonds, pressuring prices. By the fall, an estimated $18 billion in new issuance was scheduled to come to the market. However, a portion of it was postponed as a result of the credit freeze. Uncertainty around this overhang also weighed on municipal bond prices. In a challenging environment, higher quality and shorter-maturity municipal bonds beat lower investment grade bonds, non-rated bonds and longer-maturity bonds.

Longer intermediate-maturity bias

The fund maintained its focus on bonds with maturities between seven and 15 years, which offered a yield advantage over shorter-term issues as well as strong long-term return potential. We locked in yields by focusing on bonds that were non-callable or protected from being redeemed any time soon. However, an overweight versus the Barclays index in bonds with 10- to 15-year maturities and a modest stake in even longer-term issues hindered returns. An underweight in bonds with maturities of two years or less also hurt performance.

Portfolio Manager's Report (continued) – Columbia Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund

Benefit from high-quality exposure

Bonds with the highest credit ratings (AAA or AA)—which accounted for approximately 77% of the fund's assets—aided returns. Among the winners were pre-refunded bonds, which typically have better credit quality and shorter maturities than issues that have not been refunded. Pre-refunding occurs when an issuer goes to market with a new bond and puts the proceeds from that sale into an escrow account to pay off an older, higher interest-rate issue. The fund, however, lost ground on its holdings of lower-rated investment grade (A or BAA), below investment grade and non-rated issues, which accounted for approximately 21% of its assets. Sectors that performed poorly included tobacco, hospital, and Puerto Rico bonds, as well as land secured deals. The fund reduced its exposure to bonds directly subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT) to approximately 1.73%.

Potential for more volatility and weak economic growth

We believe that low short-term interest rates, the federal government bailout's package and easing inflation pressures bode well for the economy's long-term outlook. We believe that near term, however, job layoffs, reduced consumer spending, the slumping housing market and lackluster corporate earnings will likely hurt economic growth. To prepare the fund for this environment, we recently began to shift the portfolio's focus toward intermediate-term bonds with six- to 12-year maturities and increasing positions in higher investment grade issues.

Interest income from certain tax-exempt bonds may be subject to certain state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax. Capital gains are not exempt from income taxes.

Portfolio Manager's Report – Columbia Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund

For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2008, Class A shares of Columbia Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund returned negative 0.88% without sales charge. Class Z shares returned negative 0.62%. By comparison, the Barclays Capital 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index¹ (formerly the Lehman Brothers 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index) returned positive 0.53%, while the Lipper Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Classification² had an average total return of negative 1.17%. The fund had more exposure than the index to longer-maturity bonds, which hampered relative returns. We believe that investments in short-maturity, high quality bonds helped the fund hold up better than the average fund in its peer group in a challenging environment.

On October 31, 2008, the fund's Class A shares had a 30-day SEC annualized yield of 3.50%. This equaled a taxable equivalent yield of 5.69% for shareholders in the 35.0% federal income tax bracket and taxed at the state's applicable state income tax rate. This tax rate does not reflect the phase out of exemptions or the reduction of the otherwise allowable deductions that occur when adjusted gross income exceeds certain levels. The fund maintained an above-average yield throughout the year.

Challenging year for Massachusetts municipal bonds

The Massachusetts economy came under pressure, as both the stock market decline and job losses reduced income tax revenues. In addition, many municipal bond insurers saw their credit ratings fall as credit rating agencies became concerned about whether the insurers had enough capital to cover potential defaults. The value of insured issues fell, and issuers postponed new offerings. Selling by hedge funds and mutual funds further depressed municipal bond prices. By early fall, a credit freeze forced many bond deals to be pulled from the market, creating a worrisome overhang of new issues.

Best returns from short-maturity and high quality bonds

In a difficult market, investors favored the shortest-maturity bonds, which handily beat the declines posted by longer-term issues. We believe the fund had more exposure than the average fund in its peer group to bonds with maturities of four years or less, which benefited performance. Investments in short-maturity pre-refunded bonds did especially well. Pre-refunding occurs when an issuer goes to market with a new bond and puts the proceeds from that sale into an escrow account to pay off an older, higher interest-rate issue. This process shortens the maturity of the bond and boosts its credit quality. An overweight in bonds with 10- to 12-year maturities and exposure to 20-year or longer issues hampered performance versus the index.

The fund benefited from a sizable position in the highest quality (AAA and AA) bonds, while losing some ground from having a small stake in lower investment grade (BAA) and non-rated issues, including some Puerto Rico and hospital bonds. Late in the

The fund is actively managed and the composition of its portfolio will change over time.

period, we began shifting the fund's focus toward shorter intermediate bonds with six- to 10-year maturities, and increasing the fund's holdings in higher investment grade issues, which we believe offer good long-term prospects. The fund does not own any bonds that are directly subject to the alternative minimum tax.

Mixed outlook for state economy

We expect the Commonwealth to maintain its AA credit rating, thanks to a relatively sound financial position and quick response to a looming budget gap. And, we expect demand for municipal bonds to remain strong among individual investors. Despite job losses, we believe that Massachusetts's diverse economic base, highly educated work force, and above–average level of personal income should help it weather the economic slowdown. At the same time, we believe that high business and living costs, weak population growth, and a prolonged housing slump will likely hurt long-term growth.

Interest income from certain tax-exempt bonds may be subject to certain state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax. Capital gains are not exempt from income taxes.

Single-state municipal bond funds pose additional risks due to limited geographical diversification.

For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2008, Class A shares of Columbia New Jersey Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund returned negative 1.64% without sales charge. Class Z shares returned negative 1.38%. By comparison, the Barclays Capital 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index¹ (formerly the Lehman Brothers 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index) returned positive 0.53%, while the Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Classification² had an average total return of negative 1.30%. The fund underperformed its benchmark, in general, because it had more exposure to bonds maturing in nine to 12 years. These positions detracted from returns as investors favored short-term bonds, which had less price volatility. We believe that the fund had slightly more exposure than the average fund in its peer group to lower quality investment-grade bonds, which accounted for its relative underperformance aga inst that measure.

On October 31, 2008, the fund's Class A shares had a 30-day SEC annualized yield of 3.40%. This equaled a taxable equivalent yield of 5.75% for shareholders in the 35.0% federal income tax bracket and taxed at the state's applicable state income tax rate. This tax rate does not reflect the phase out of exemptions or the reduction of the otherwise allowable deductions that occur when adjusted gross income exceeds certain levels.

Shorter-maturity, higher quality bonds led the municipal market

In an environment of high volatility and low liquidity, investors sought shelter in bonds with the highest quality and shortest maturities. By the end of the period, the number of high-quality bonds had fallen dramatically as a widening financial crisis threatened all aspects of the financial markets. The percentage of AAA-rated bonds in the index dropped from 65% in January to 32% in October, primarily because MBIA and AMBAC, two large municipal bond insurers, were downgraded by major credit agencies in June. Lower quality, longer-term securities were the weakest performers, with the worst performance coming from bonds with maturities of 12 to 17 years. Against this backdrop, the municipal market experienced selling pressure from mutual funds and hedge funds as the yield difference between higher and lower quality bonds widened and arbitrage trades became unprofitable.

While the fund had the vast majority of its assets invested in high quality bonds, we believe that it had more exposure than its peers to higher-yielding, lower rated investment-grade credits, particularly in the hospital sector. The fund's performance was also hurt by an above-average stake in bonds with maturities of nine years or longer. While we also held a significant stake in bonds maturing in two years or less, it was not enough to offset the underperformance of longer-term issues. On the plus side, about 20% of the fund's assets were in pre-refunded bonds, which are high quality issues that performed well. Pre-refunding occurs when an issuer takes advantage of lower interest rates by selling a new bond and investing the proceeds in short-term government

securities to pay off the old, higher-yielding bonds at the earliest opportunity. In addition, the fund had no exposure to bonds subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT), which aided performance because prices on bonds subject to the AMT declined as demand weakened and yields rose more than on other, comparable maturity municipal bonds.

Slowing economic growth undermines credit outlook

In spite of the state's diverse industrial base, we expect economic growth in New Jersey to continue slowing. The state's unemployment rate increased from 4.2% at the end of 2007 to 5.8% as jobs were lost in housing, manufacturing and financial services. These developments have continued to undermine the state's economic, population and tax revenue growth and, ultimately, its credit outlook. At the same time, New Jersey, like other states, is aggressively making adjustments to current spending as revenues fall short of projections. While cuts will be painful in some areas, we believe that timely political action now should help the state weather the downturn over the long term.

Interest income from certain tax-exempt bonds may be subject to certain state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax. Capital gains are not exempt from income taxes.

Single-state municipal bond funds pose additional risks due to limited geographical diversification.

Portfolio Manager's Report – Columbia New York Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund

For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2008, Class A shares of Columbia New York Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund returned negative 1.02% without sales charge. Class Z shares returned negative 0.75%. By comparison, the Barclays Capital 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index¹ (formerly the Lehman Brothers 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index) returned positive 0.53%, while the Lipper New York Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Classification² had an average total return of negative 1.14%. The fund underperformed its benchmark primarily because it had more exposure to longer-maturity bonds, which were the period's weakest performers. Several purchases of bonds in the 12- to 17-year maturity range were made late in the reporting period. They provided attractive yields; however, the move turned out to be premature as investors favored short-term bonds, with their lower price volatility, against a backdrop of weak economic news and a downward spiraling stock market. We believe that the fund did better than the average fund in its peer group, in part, because it had more exposure to higher quality securities, which performed well in a risk-averse market.

On May 5, 2008, Columbia New York Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund acquired the assets of New York Intermediate-Term Tax-Exempt Fund, a series of Excelsior Tax-Exempt Funds, Inc. Because the two funds had similar investment styles and portfolio holdings, the acquisition had minimal impact on the day-to-day operation of the fund.

On October 31, 2008, the fund's Class A shares had a 30-day SEC annualized yield of 3.51%. This equaled a taxable equivalent yield of 5.80% for shareholders in the 35.0% federal income tax bracket and taxed at the state's applicable state income tax rate. This tax rate does not reflect the phase out of exemptions or the reduction of the otherwise allowable deductions that occur when adjusted gross income exceeds certain levels.

Gains from shorter-maturity and higher quality bonds

In an environment of high volatility and low liquidity, investors sought shelter in bonds with the highest quality and shortest maturities. By the end of the period, the number of high-quality bonds had fallen dramatically as a widening financial crisis threatened all aspects of the financial markets. The percentage of AAA rated bonds in the index dropped from 65% in January to 32% in October, primarily because of the downgrades of MBIA and AMBAC, two large municipal bond insurers. Lower quality, longer-term securities were the weakest performers, with the worst performance coming from bonds with maturities of 12 to 17 years. Against this backdrop, the municipal market experienced significant selling pressure from mutual funds, insurance companies and arbitrage/hedge funds seeking to cover redemptions or to unwind unprofitable hedge trades and margin calls.

Mixed results from fund positioning

At a time of increased concern about the financial strength of many New York municipalities, the fund benefited from its holdings of AA and AAA rated bonds.

Quality and maturity breakdowns are calculated as a percentage of net assets. Ratings shown in the quality breakdown represent the highest rating assigned to a particular bond by one of the following nationally recognized rating agencies: Standard & Poor's, Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Fitch Ratings Ltd. Ratings are relative and subjective and are not absolute standards of quality. The fund's credit quality does not remove market risk.

The fund is actively managed and the composition of its portfolio will change over time.

Exposure to pre-refunded bonds, which accounted for 19% of the fund's assets, also aided performance because these high quality bonds outperformed many other sectors. Pre-refunding occurs when an issuer takes advantage of lower interest rates by selling a new bond and investing the proceeds in short-term government securities in order to pay off the previous, higher-yielding bond at the earliest opportunity. The fund had a relatively small exposure to bonds issued by Puerto Rico, which underperformed. That exposure increased when the fund merged during the period with New York Intermediate-Term Tax-Exempt Fund, a fund of approximately equal size to the fund. The fund had no exposure to bonds subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT), which aided performance because prices on bonds subject to the AMT declined as demand weakened and yields rose more than on other, comparable maturity municipal bonds.

A decision to increase exposure to longer intermediate-term securities and to cut back on bonds with maturities in the zero to two-year range hurt performance as longer-term rates rose and short-term interest rates declined. In addition, exposure to the Niagara Indian casino detracted from performance, as legal issues associated with the facility drove yields up and prices down.

Cautious outlook for New York

New York normally accounts for 12% to 15% of new municipal issues nationwide and the state continued to generate a steady supply of new issues during the period. However, New York, like other states, has also experienced tremendous dislocation over the past 12 months. Between November 2007 and October 2008, the state's unemployment rate increased from 4.5% to 5.8% as jobs in housing, manufacturing and, most notably, financial services were lost. We believe that this economic slowdown will continue to put pressure on state and local governments. However, New York is aggressively making adjustments to current spending as revenues fall short of projections. While cuts will be painful in some areas, we believe that timely political action now should help the state weather the downturn over the long term. Going forward, we plan to maintain the fund's overall focus on higher quality bonds, while looking for opportunities in sectors or in maturities where we feel the value is greater than the market perceives.

Interest income from certain tax-exempt bonds may be subject to certain state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax. Capital gains are not exempt from income taxes.

Single-state municipal bond funds pose additional risks due to limited geographical diversification.

Prior to August 22, 2005, new purchases of Class A shares had a maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%.

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 shares are newer classes of shares, initially offered on November 18, 2002. Their returns include returns of Retail A shares (for Class A shares) and Retail B shares (for Class B and Class C shares) of the Galaxy Rhode Island Municipal Bond Fund (the "Galaxy Rhode Island Fund") for periods prior to November 18, 2002 (adjusted, as applicable, to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class A, Class B and Class C shares). The returns shown for Class B and Class C shares also include the returns for Retail A shares (adjusted, as applicable, to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class B and Class C shares) for periods prior to inception of Retail B shares of the Galaxy Rhode Island Fund (March 1, 2001). The returns shown for Class T shares include the returns of Retail A shares of the Galaxy Rhode Island Fund for periods prior to November 18, 2002. Retail A shares were initially offered on Decembe r 20, 1994. The returns for Class Z shares include returns of Trust shares of the Galaxy Rhode Island Fund for periods prior to November 18, 2002, and the returns of Retail A shares of the Galaxy Rhode Island Fund for periods prior to June 19, 2000, the date on which Trust shares were initially offered by the Galaxy Rhode Island Fund. No returns have been restated to reflect any differences in expenses such as distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees between any predecessor share class and the corresponding newer share class. If differences in expenses had been reflected, the returns shown for periods prior to the inception of the newer classes would have been lower.

For the 12-month period that ended October 31, 2008, Class A shares of Columbia Rhode Island Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund returned negative 1.16% without sales charge. Class Z shares returned negative 0.89%. By comparison, the Barclays Capital 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index¹ (formerly the Lehman Brothers 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index) returned positive 0.53%, while the Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Classification² had an average total return of negative 1.30%.

The fund underperformed its benchmark primarily because it had more exposure to longer-maturity bonds, which were the period's weakest performers. Several purchases of longer-term bonds were made late in the reporting period. They provided attractive yields; however, the move turned out to be premature as interest rates rose across all maturities in response to the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy and dislocations in the financial markets. The fund was also hurt when Financial Security Assurance, Inc., a large municipal bond insurer, was put on negative credit watch by the major credit rating agencies. We believe that the fund did better than the average fund in its peer group because it had more exposure to higher quality securities, which performed well in a risk-averse market.

On October 31, 2008, the fund's Class A shares had a 30-day SEC annualized yield of 3.61%. This equaled a taxable equivalent yield of 6.16% for shareholders in the 35.0% federal income tax bracket and taxed at the state's applicable state income tax rate. This tax rate does not reflect the phase out of exemptions or the reduction of the otherwise allowable deductions that occur when adjusted gross income exceeds certain levels.

Gains from shorter-maturity and higher quality bonds

In an environment of high volatility and low liquidity, investors sought shelter in bonds with the highest quality and shortest maturities. By the end of the period, the number of high-quality bonds had fallen dramatically as a widening financial crisis threatened all aspects of the financial markets. The percentage of AAA-rated bonds in the index dropped from 65% in January to 32% in October primarily because of the downgrades of MBIA and AMBAC, two large municipal bond insurers. Lower quality, longer-term securities were the weakest performers, with the worst performance coming from bonds with maturities of 12 to 17 years. Against this backdrop, the municipal market experienced significant selling pressure from mutual funds, insurance companies and arbitrage/hedge funds seeking to cover redemptions or to unwind unprofitable hedge trades and margin calls.

Gains from high quality and pre-refunded bonds

At a time when the supply of new issues from Rhode Island was light— not unusual for a small state—the fund benefited from the overall quality of its portfolio, which we

Portfolio Manager's Report (continued) – Columbia Rhode Island Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund

believe was higher than that of its peer group, as well as its 20% stake in pre-refunded bonds. Pre-refunding occurs when an issuer takes advantage of lower interest rates by selling a new bond, then investing the proceeds in short-term U.S. government securities and paying off the old, higher-yielding bonds at the earliest opportunity. The fund had no exposure to bonds subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT), which aided performance because prices on bonds subject to the AMT declined as demand weakened and yields rose more than on other, comparable maturity municipal bonds.

Greater exposure to insured bonds

During the period, we added an insured general-obligation issue from Cranston, Rhode Island, which hampered the fund's return later in the period when the insurer's credit rating was placed on credit watch with negative implications. Many of the bonds issued in Rhode Island come with insurance, and the fund holds a greater percentage of insured bonds than its benchmark or its peer group.

Weak economy calls for cautious approach

We believe that a slowing economy and continued downward pressure by the Federal Reserve Board on short-term lending rates have the potential to bring yields down and prices up on municipal bonds over time. However, the overall health of the Rhode Island economy is weaker than many other states: Unemployment is rising, population growth is zero to declining and the housing sector continues to feel pressures. Given these factors, we do not expect Rhode Island to make a quick recovery. We plan to continue to monitor developments in the state and maintain diversification across sectors and issuers. We will also try to minimize exposure to issuers that we feel may face additional negative credit pressures.

Interest income from certain tax-exempt bonds may be subject to certain state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax. Capital gains are not exempt from income taxes.

Single-state municipal bond funds pose additional risks due to limited geographical diversification.

Notes to Financial Statements – Columbia Tax-Exempt Bond Funds
October 31, 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 series of the Trust (individually referred to as a "Fund", and collectively referred to as the "Funds"):

Columbia Connecticut Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund ("Connecticut")

Columbia Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund ("Intermediate Municipal")

Columbia Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund ("Massachusetts")

Columbia New Jersey Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund ("New Jersey")

Columbia New York Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund ("New York")

Columbia Rhode Island Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund ("Rhode Island")

On May 5, 2008, Intermediate Municipal and New York acquired all the assets and liabilities of Intermediate-Term Tax-Exempt Fund and New York Intermediate-Term Tax-Exempt Fund (collectively, the "Acquired Funds"), respectively. The Acquired Funds were each a series of Excelsior Tax-Exempt Funds, Inc.

Investment Objectives

Each Fund, with the exception of Intermediate Municipal, seeks as high a level of current interest income exempt from federal income tax and, to the extent possible, from the individual income tax of its state, as is consistent with relative stability of principal. Intermediate Municipal seeks current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with preservation of principal. All Funds are non-diversified investment companies, except for Intermediate Municipal and New Jersey which are diversified investment companies.

Fund Shares

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

Class A and Class T shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.25% and 4.75%, respectively, 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") if the shares are sold within one year after purchase. Class B shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 3.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will 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 T and Class Z shares, as described in each 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

138

Columbia Tax-Exempt Bond Funds, October 31, 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.

Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.

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

Security Transactions

In September 2008, FASB Staff Position 133-1 and FIN 45-4, Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45 and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161 ( "Amendment"), was issued and is effective for annual and interim reporting periods ending after November 15, 2008. The Amendment requires enhanced disclosures regarding a fund's credit derivatives and hybrid financial instruments containing embedded credit derivatives. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the Amendment will have on the Funds' financial statement disclosures.

Futures Contracts

The Funds may invest in futures for both hedging and non-hedging purposes, including, for example, to seek enhanced 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 of the future direction of interest rates by Columbia Management Advisors, LLC ("Columbia"), the Funds' investment advisor. Any of these risks may involve amounts exceeding the variation margin recorded in the Funds' Statements of Assets and Liabilities at any given time.

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.

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

139

Columbia Tax-Exempt Bond Funds, October 31, 2008 (continued)

holds until the settlement date, in a segregated account, cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.

Income Recognition

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 a Fund on a daily basis for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class. Income and expenses are allocated to each class based on the settled shares method, while realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated based on the relative net assets 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

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 October 31, 2008, permanent book and tax basis differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for distributions and amortization/accretion adjustments on debt securities were identified and reclassified among the components of each Fund's net assets as follows:

	Undistributed Net Investment Income			Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss)			Paid-In Capital
Connecticut	$	—		$	227,161		$	(227,161	)
Intermediate Municipal		(9,745	)		(786,996	)		796,741
Massachusetts		(39,481	)		39,481			—

140

Columbia Tax-Exempt Bond Funds, October 31, 2008 (continued)

	Undistributed Net Investment Income			Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss)			Paid-In Capital
New Jersey	$	(5,158	)	$	5,157		$	1
New York		—			(864,305	)		864,305
Rhode Island		(9,559	)		9,559			—

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 October 31, 2008 and October 31, 2007 was as follows:

	October 31, 2008
	Tax-Exempt Income		Ordinary Income*		Long-Term Capital Gains
Connecticut	$	7,178,910	$	—	$	—
Intermediate Municipal		96,828,789		182,659		—
Massachusetts		12,237,125		—		86,355
New Jersey		2,631,791		—		—
New York		8,426,813		35,719		—
Rhode Island		4,685,265		—		—
	October 31, 2007
	Tax-Exempt Income		Ordinary Income*		Long-Term Capital Gains
Connecticut	$	6,067,913	$	—	$	—
Intermediate Municipal		93,013,255		562,736		—
Massachusetts		10,783,089		—		394,953
New Jersey		2,204,043		—		195,311
New York		5,096,434		—		22,502
Rhode Island		4,322,177		—		86,776

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

As of October 31, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

	Undistributed Tax-Exempt Income		Undistributed Ordinary Income		Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains		Net Unrealized Depreciation*
Connecticut	$	720,385	$	—	$	—	$	(7,438,812	)
Intermediate Municipal		9,292,781		—		—		(99,610,422	)
Massachusetts		910,091		—		—		(8,506,306	)

141

Columbia Tax-Exempt Bond Funds, October 31, 2008 (continued)

	Undistributed Tax-Exempt Income		Undistributed Ordinary Income		Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains		Net Unrealized Depreciation*
New Jersey	$	201,363	$	—	$	—	$	(1,916,829	)
New York		941,453		—		—		(8,765,716	)
Rhode Island		349,484		—		—		(2,382,683	)

* The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation are primarily due to discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities.

Unrealized appreciation and depreciation at October 31, 2008, based on cost of investments for federal income tax purposes, were:

	Unrealized Appreciation		Unrealized Depreciation			Net Unrealized Depreciation
Connecticut	$	2,542,389	$	(9,981,201	)	$	(7,438,812	)
Intermediate Municipal		29,087,924		(128,698,346	)		(99,610,422	)
Massachusetts		3,609,958		(12,116,264	)		(8,506,306	)
New Jersey		1,090,204		(3,007,033	)		(1,916,829	)
New York		3,999,513		(12,765,229	)		(8,765,716	)
Rhode Island		1,724,326		(4,107,009	)		(2,382,683	)

The following capital loss carryforwards, determined as of October 31, 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
	2012		2013		2014		2015		2016		Total
Connecticut	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	160,577	$	254,849	$	415,426

Rhode Island		—		—		—		129,446		—		129,446

Of the capital loss carryforwards attributable to Intermediate Municipal, $1,733,390 ($1,549,704 and $183,686 will expire on October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2014, respectively) was acquired from fund mergers, all of which remains. The availability of a portion of the remaining capital loss carryforwards acquired as a part of a fund merger may be limited in a given year.

Of the capital loss carryforwards attributable to (referenced in Note 1 above and Note 10 below) New York, $804,357 ($92,115, $580,517 and $131,725 will expire on October 31, 2012, October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2014, respectively) were acquired from the merger with New York Intermediate-Term Tax-Exempt Fund.

Capital loss carryforwards utilized/expired during the year ended October 31, 2008 were:

Connecticut	$	227,160
Intermediate Municipal		176,491
New York		122,240
Rhode Island		6,445

142

Columbia Tax-Exempt Bond Funds, October 31, 2008 (continued)

The availability of a portion of the capital loss carryforwards acquired by the Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund and New York Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund as a result of the merger with Intermediate-Term Tax-Exempt Fund and New York Intermediate-Term Tax-Exempt Fund, respectively, may be limited in a given year.

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.

The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48"), effective April 30, 2008. FIN 48 requires management to determine 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. FIN 48 was applied to all existing tax positions upon initial adoption. Management has evaluated the known implications of FI N 48 on its computation of net assets for each Fund. As a result of this evaluation, management has concluded that FIN 48 did not have any effect on the Funds' financial statements and no cumulative effect adjustments were recorded. 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.

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 Funds. Columbia receives a monthly investment advisory fee based on each Fund's average daily net assets as follows:

Average Daily Net Assets	Annual Fee Rate
First $500 million		0.48	%
$500 million to $1 billion		0.43	%
$1 billion to $1.5 billion		0.40	%
$1.5 billion to $3 billion		0.37	%
$3 billion to $6 billion		0.36	%
Over $6 billion		0.35	%

For the year ended October 31, 2008, the effective investment advisory fee rates for each Fund, as a percentage of each Fund's average daily net assets, were as follows:

	Effective Fee Rate
Connecticut		0.48	%
Intermediate Municipal		0.41	%
Massachusetts		0.48	%
New Jersey		0.48	%
New York		0.48	%
Rhode Island		0.48	%

Administration Fee

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

Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees

The Funds have 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 Funds. The Funds have 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 Funds. Under the State Street Agreements, each Fund pays

143

Columbia Tax-Exempt Bond Funds, October 31, 2008 (continued)

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 each Fund for the month. 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 expenses 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. Under the Services Agreement, the Funds reimburse Columbia for out-of-pocket expenses.

For the year ended October 31, 2008, the amounts charged to the Funds by affiliates included in the Statements of Operations under "Pricing and bookkeeping fees" were as follows:

	Amounts Charged by Affiliates
Connecticut	$	1,952
Intermediate Municipal		1,952
Massachusetts		1,952
New Jersey		1,952
New York		1,952
Rhode Island		1,952

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. 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 additional compensation for its services, fees for wire, telephone and redempti on 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 October 31, 2008, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses of the Funds as follows:

	Minimum Account Balance Fees
Connecticut	$	200
Intermediate Municipal		1,680
Massachusetts		489
New Jersey		180
New York		540
Rhode Island		80

Underwriting Discounts, Service and Distribution Fees

144

Columbia Tax-Exempt Bond Funds, October 31, 2008 (continued)

underwriting discounts on the sales of the Funds' Class A and Class T shares, and received net CDSC fees on Class A, Class B and Class C share redemptions as follows:

	Front-End Sales Charge				CDSC
	Class A		Class T		Class A		Class B		Class C
Connecticut	$	1,521	$	24	$	—	$	2,628	$	757

New York		860		9		—		995		417
Rhode Island		81		2		—		1,653		—

The Funds have adopted distribution and shareholder servicing plans (the "Plans") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, which require the payment of distribution and service fees. The fees are intended to compensate the Distributor and/or eligible selling and/or servicing agents for selling shares of the Funds and providing services to investors. Payments under the Plans, which are calculated daily and paid monthly, are based on the average daily net assets of each Fund at the following annual rates:

	Distribution Fee						Service Fee
	Class B			Class C			Class A			Class B			Class C
Connecticut¹		0.75	%		0.75	%		0.25	%		0.25	%		0.25	%
Intermediate Municipal²		0.65	%		0.65	%		0.20	%		0.20	%		0.20	%
Massachusetts¹		0.75	%		0.75	%		0.25	%		0.25	%		0.25	%

Rhode Island¹		0.75	%		0.75	%		0.25	%		0.25	%		0.25	%

¹ The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of Class C shares distribution fee so that the combined distribution and service fees will not exceed 0.65% annually of average net assets. This arrangement can be modified or terminated by the Distributor at any time.

² The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of Intermediate Municipal's Class C share distribution fee so that the combined distribution and service fees will not exceed 0.40% annually of average net assets. This arrangement can be modified or terminated by the Distributor at any time.

Shareholder Services Fee

Each Fund has adopted shareholder services plans that permit them to pay for certain services provided to Class T shareholders by their financial advisors. The Funds may pay shareholder service fees up to a maximum of 0.50% of each Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares (comprised of up to 0.25% for shareholder liaison services and up to 0.25% for administrative support services) but such fees will not exceed each Fund's net investment income attributable to Class T shares. Connecticut, Intermediate Municipal, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York do not intend to pay more than 0.15% annually during the current fiscal year for Class T shareholder services fees. No fees were charged during the year ended October 31, 2008 under the Class T service plan with respect to Rhode Island.

Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements

Columbia has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse each Fund for certain expenses through February 28, 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 Funds' custodian, will not exceed 0.50% annually of each

145

Columbia Tax-Exempt Bond Funds, October 31, 2008 (continued)

Fund's average daily net assets. There is no guarantee that these arrangements will continue after February 28, 2009.

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 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 Funds may be terminated at any time. Any payments to plan participants are paid solely out of the Funds' 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 October 31, 2008, these custody credits reduced total expenses for the Funds as follows:

	Custody Credits
Connecticut	$	4,054
Intermediate Municipal		15,399
Massachusetts		4,553
New Jersey		1,997
New York		2,198
Rhode Island		1,271

Note 6. Portfolio Information

For the year ended October 31, 2008, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, for the Funds were as follows:

	Purchases		Sales
Connecticut	$	45,814,315	$	7,562,225
Intermediate Municipal		338,542,620		473,825,401
Massachusetts		42,847,367		30,705,085
New Jersey		6,065,814		4,140,848
New York		38,799,273		20,415,904
Rhode Island		15,950,780		16,384,606

Note 7. Line of Credit

The Funds 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. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.

Prior to October 16, 2008, 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, both provided by State Street. Interest on the committed line of credit was 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 was accrued and apportioned among the participating funds pro rata based on their relative net assets. Interest on the uncommitted line of credit was 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 charged an annual

146

Columbia Tax-Exempt Bond Funds, October 31, 2008 (continued)

operations agency fee of $40,000 for the committed line of credit and was able to 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 were accrued and apportioned among the participating funds pro rata based on their relative net assets.

For the year ended October 31, 2008, the Funds did not borrow under these arrangements.

Note 8. Shares of Beneficial Interest

As of October 31, 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
Connecticut		79.6
Intermediate Municipal		90.0
Massachusetts		80.6
New Jersey		78.5
New York		87.7
Rhode Island		84.6

As of October 31, 2008, Connecticut had one account that held 5.6% 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 9. Significant Risks and Contingencies

Non-Diversified Risk

Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and Rhode Island are non-diversified funds, which generally mean that they may invest a greater percentage of their total assets in the securities of fewer issuers than a "diversified" fund. This increases the risk that a change in the value of any one investment held by a Fund could affect the overall value of the Fund more than it would affect that of a diversified fund holding a greater number of investments. Accordingly, the Funds' value will likely be more volatile than the value of more diversified funds. The Funds may not operate as non-diversified funds at all times.

Geographic Concentration Risk

Each of Connecticut, Intermediate Municipal, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island had greater than 5% of its total net assets on October 31, 2008, invested in debt obligations issued by its respective states and political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities, as well as in such obligations of Puerto Rico. The Funds are more susceptible to economic and political factors adversely affecting issuers of their respective state's and Puerto Rico's municipal securities than are municipal bond funds that are not concentrated to the same extent in these issuers.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Each of the Funds holds investments that are insured by private insurers who guarantee the payment of principal and interest in the event of default or that are supported by a letter of credit. At October 31, 2008, private insurers who insured greater than 5% of the total net assets of the Funds were as follows:

Connecticut

Insurer	% of Total Net Assets
MBIA Insurance Corp.		20.8
Financial Guaranty Insurance Co.		12.3
Financial Security Assurance, Inc.		10.6
AMBAC Assurance Corp.		8.6

Intermediate Municipal

Insurer	% of Total Net Assets
MBIA Insurance Corp.		17.1
Financial Security Assurance, Inc.		14.9
AMBAC Assurance Corp.		8.2
Financial Guaranty Insurance Co.		7.5

Financial Guaranty Insurance Co.		13.4
Financial Security Assurance, Inc.		12.5

New York

Insurer	% of Total Net Assets
MBIA Insurance Corp.		13.0
AMBAC Assurance Corp.		11.5
Financial Security Assurance, Inc.		11.2
Financial Guaranty Insurance Co.		8.1

Rhode Island

Insurer	% of Total Net Assets
Financial Security Assurance, Inc.		29.2
MBIA Insurance Corp.		22.6
AMBAC Assurance Corp.		15.1
Syncora Guarantee, Inc.		6.7
Financial Guaranty Insurance Co.		5.5

At November 24, 2008, MBIA Insurance Corp., Financial Guaranty Insurance Co., AMBAC Assurance Corp., Financial Security Assurance, Inc. and Syncora Guarantee, Inc. were rated by Standard & Poor's AA, CCC, A, AAA and B, respectively.

Tax Development Risk

Each Fund purchases municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of bond counsel, is free from federal income tax. There is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will agree with this opinion. In the event the IRS determines that an issuer does not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued. As a shareholder of the Fund, you may be required to file an amended tax return as a result.

Legal Proceedings

148

Columbia Tax-Exempt Bond Funds, October 31, 2008 (continued)

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.

Board Consideration and Approval of Advisory Agreements

The Trustees receive and review all materials that they, their legal counsel or Columbia believe to be reasonably necessary for the Trustees to evaluate the Agreements and to determine whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements. Those materials generally include, among other items, (i) information on the investment performance of each fund relative to the performance of peer groups of mutual funds and the fund's performance benchmarks, and additional information assessing performance on a risk adjusted basis, (ii) information on each fund's advisory fees and other expenses, including information comparing the fund's expenses to those of peer groups of mutual funds and information about any applicable expense caps and fee "breakpoints," (iii) information about the profitability of the Agreements to Columbia, including potential "fall-out" or ancillary benefits that Columbia and its affiliates may receive as a result of their relationships with the funds and (iv) information obtained through Columbia's response to a questionnaire prepared at the request of the Trustees by counsel to the funds and independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Trustees also consider other information such as (v) Columbia's financial results and financial condition, (vi) each fund's investment objective and strategies and the size, education and experience of Columbia's investment staffs and their use of technology, external research and trading cost measurement tools, (vii) the allocation of the funds' brokerage and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research products and services, (viii) Columbia's resources devoted to, and its record of compliance with, the funds' investment policies and restrictions, policies on personal securities transactions and other compliance policies and legal and regulatory requirements, (ix) Columbia's response to va rious legal and regulatory proceedings since 2003 and to the recent period of volatility in the securities markets and (x) the economic outlook generally and for the mutual fund industry in particular. In addition, the Advisory Fees and Expenses Committee confers with the funds' independent fee consultant and reviews materials relating to the funds' relationships with Columbia provided by the independent fee consultant. Throughout the process, the Trustees have the opportunity to ask questions of and to request additional materials from Columbia and to consult with the independent fee consultant and independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees.

157

Investment performance of the funds and Columbia. The Trustees reviewed information about the performance of each fund over various time periods, including information prepared by an independent third-party data provider that compared the performance of each fund to the performance of peer groups of mutual funds and performance benchmarks. The Trustees also reviewed a description of the third party's methodology for identifying each fund's peer group for purposes of performance and expense comparisons. The Trustees also considered additional information that the Advisory Fees and Expenses Committee requested from Columbia relating to funds that presented relatively weaker performance and/or relatively higher expenses. In the case of each fund whose performance lagged that of a relevant peer group for certain (although not necessarily all) periods, the Trustees concluded that other factors relevant to performance were sufficient, in light of other considerations, to warrant continuation of the fund's Agreements. Those factors varied from fund to fund, but included one or more of the following: (i) that the fund's performance, although lagging in certain recent periods, was stronger over the longer term; (ii) that the underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment decisions that were reasonable and consistent with the fund's investment strategy and policies and that the fund was performing within a reasonable range of expectations, given those investment decisions, market conditions and the fund's investment strategy; (iii) that the fund's performance was competitive when compared to other relevant performance benchmarks or peer groups; (iv) that Columbia had taken or was taking steps designed to help improve the fund's investment performance, including, but not limited to, replacing portfolio managers or modifying investment str ategies; and (v) that Columbia proposed to waive advisory fees or cap the expenses of the fund.

The Trustees noted the performance of each Fund through April 30, 2008 relative to that of a peer group selected by an independent third-party data provider for the purposes of performance comparisons. Specifically, Columbia Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund's performance was in the fourth quintile (where the best performance would be in the first quintile) for the one-year period and in the third quintile for the three,- five- and ten-year periods; Columbia Connecticut Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund's performance was in the third quintile for the one-year period and in the fourth quintile for the three,- five- and ten-year periods; Columbia Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund's performance was in the third quintile for the one-, three-, and ten-year periods, and in the fourth quintile for the five-year period; Columbia New Jersey Intermediate Mu nicipal Bond Fund's performance was in the fourth quintile for the one-year period and in the third quintile for the three-, five- and ten-year periods; Columbia New York Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund's performance was in the fourth quintile for the one-year period, and in the third quintile for the three-, five- and ten-year periods; and Columbia Rhode Island Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund's performance was in the third quintile for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods.

158

and the additional resources required to manage mutual funds effectively. In evaluating each fund's advisory fees, the Trustees also took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the investment management of the fund. The Trustees considered existing advisory fee breakpoints, and Columbia's use of advisory fee waivers and expense caps, which benefited a number of the funds. The Trustees also noted management's stated justification for the fees charged to the funds, which included information about the investment performance of the funds and the services provided to the funds.

The Trustees considered each fund's total expenses and actual management fees relative to those of a peer group selected by an independent third-party data provider for purposes of expense comparisons. Specifically, Columbia Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund's total expenses were in the first quintile and actual management fees were in the third quintile (where the lowest fees and expenses would be in the first quintile); Columbia Connecticut Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund's total expenses and actual management fees were in the first quintile; Columbia Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund's total expenses and actual management fees were in the first quintile; Columbia New Jersey Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund's total expenses and actual management fees were in the first quintile; Columbia New York Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund's total expenses and actual management fees were in the first quintile; and Columbia Rh ode Island Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund's total expenses and actual management fees were in the first quintile.

Other Factors. The Trustees also considered other factors, which included but were not limited to the following:

ⁿ the extent to which each fund had operated in accordance with its investment objective and investment restrictions, the nature and scope of the compliance programs of the funds and Columbia and the compliance-related resources that Columbia and its affiliates were providing to the funds;

ⁿ the nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services overseen and performed by Columbia and its affiliates, both under the Agreements and under separate agreements for the provision of transfer agency and administrative services;

159

Columbia by reason of brokerage commissions generated by the funds' securities transactions, as well as possible conflicts of interest associated with those fall-out and other benefits, and the reporting, disclosure and other processes in place to disclose and monitor those possible conflicts of interest; and

ⁿ the report provided by the funds' independent fee consultant, which included information about and analysis of the funds' fees, expenses and performance.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT FEE CONSULTANT TO THE FUNDS SUPERVISED BY THE COLUMBIA ATLANTIC BOARD

November 3, 2008

I. Overview

On February 9, 2005, Columbia Management Advisors, LLC ("CMA") and Columbia Management Distributors, Inc.¹ ("CMD") agreed to the New York Attorney General's Assurance of Discontinuance ("AOD"). Among other things, the AOD stipulates that CMA may manage or advise a Columbia Fund ("Columbia Fund" and, together with some or all of such funds, the "Columbia Funds") only if the Independent Members of the Columbia Fund's Board of Trustees appoint a Senior Officer or retain an Independent Fee Consultant ("IFC") who is to manage the process by which proposed management fees are negotiated. The AOD further stipulates that the Senior Officer or IFC is to prepare a written annual evaluation of the fee negotiation process.

A. Role of the Independent Fee Consultant

B. Elements Involved in Managing the Fee Negotiation Process

In preparing the report required by the AOD, the IFC must consider at least the following six factors set forth in the AOD:

1. The nature and quality of CMA's services, including the Fund's performance;

2. Management fees (including any components thereof) charged by other mutual fund companies for like services;

3. Possible economies of scale as the Fund grows larger;

4. Management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of CMA for like services;

5. Costs to CMA and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit; and

6. Profit margins of CMA and its affiliates from supplying such services.

C. Organization of the Annual Evaluation

¹ CMA and CMD are subsidiaries of Columbia Management Group, LLC ("CMG"), and are the successors to the entities named in the AOD.

Unless otherwise stated or required by the context, this report covers only the Atlantic Funds, which are also referred as the "Funds."

between fund size and profitability, with smaller funds generally operating at a loss.

III. Recommendations

2. Profitability data. CMG should present to the Trustees each year the profitability of each Fund, each investment style and each complex (of which Atlantic is one) calculated as follows:

a. Management-only profitability should be calculated without reference to any Private Bank expense.

d. Distribution only: This should include all Private Bank expenses other than those attributable to sub-transfer agency services.

Therefore, the following data need not be provided:

1. Adjusting total profitability data for Private Bank expenses

2. Adjusting profitability excluding distribution by backing out all Private Bank expenses.

(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 su bmit 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 October 31, 2008 and October 31, 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 October 31, 2008 and October 31, 2007 are approximately as follows:

2008		2007
$	1,045,800	$	953,400

(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.
