President's Message

Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to provide this shareholder report detailing your fund's performance, portfolio holdings and financial statements. We hope this information is helpful in monitoring your investments as we work through these challenging economic times. We recognize that you have entrusted us with your money and want you to know that our professional investment teams work to interpret the latest economic and market trends with the goal of optimizing portfolio construction for our clients.
The first half of 2009 was defined by extremes. The multiyear lows we witnessed in the early months gave way to a stunning rally for the U.S. financial markets in the spring. A global market rebound may be underway, thanks to the massive fiscal and aggressive monetary policies of governments around the world. In the third quarter, the S&P 500 Index1 was up 15.61%. We believe this challenging economic environment makes it even more important to work with professional money managers while continuing to invest for life events like retirement, college planning, home improvements and career changes.
Retirement income planning has become an increasingly significant focus in the lives of millions of Americans. Recent economic conditions make it even more important to manage short-term obligations such as mortgages, monthly bills and credit card debt while also taking the steps necessary to prepare for or maximize retirement benefits. Better nutrition and medical services can result in U.S. citizens living longer, healthier lives. This means the risk of outliving one's assets in retirement is very real without proper planning. Financial security and retirement planning is an ongoing process that requires active management of your savings, investments and risks. We encourage you to review your retirement plan regularly so you'll be better able to meet your retirement needs in the future.
We recognize that economic uncertainty creates great challenges for many investors. Our professional investment teams work diligently to help investors navigate through difficult markets. Thank you for your business and for the opportunity to work together towards your investment goals.
Sincerely,

J. Kevin Connaughton
President, Columbia Funds

Economic Update – Stock Funds
During the 12-month period that began October 1, 2008 and ended September 30, 2009, the U.S. economy faced the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, then steadied itself as steps taken by a new administration began to show results in the second half of the period. Economic growth, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP), contracted by approximately 6% between October 2008 and March 2009. The lapse from growth resulted in the longest and most severe recession in nearly three decades. However, growth turned positive in the third quarter ended September 30, 2009. The initial estimate of third quarter GDP was 3.5%.
The labor market shed more than seven million jobs between 2008 and 2009, raising the unemployment rate to 9.8% and wiping out all of the jobs gained since the last recession. Manufacturing activity slowed through most of the period, but it turned up in July and August, as did consumer spending. The beleaguered housing market showed some signs of stabilizing. Pending home sales, a leading indicator of housing activity increased for eight straight months to end the period, buoyed by low interest rates and an $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit. Existing home sales rose, but gave back some of their strong gains late in the period. The inventory of unsold houses also fell sharply over the period. Late in 2008, consumer confidence, as measured by the Conference Board,1 plummeted to its lowest point ever. However, it has since stabilized and turned higher near the end of the period.
Troubles that began in the U.S. subprime mortgage market resulted in a meltdown within the U.S. financial sector that claimed several major institutions in 2008 and led others to seek bailouts, restructuring or both. New rigorous lending standards severely limited access to credit, further hampering economic growth. In this environment, a new administration sought to stabilize the financial system, address economic woes and introduce sweeping health care reform. Stimulus spending began to flow into the economy, raising hopes that growth would be restored. In December 2008, the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) lowered a key short-term borrowing rate—the federal funds rate—to between zero and 0.25%—a record low. In light of protracted economic weakness and virtually no inflation, the Fed made no further change to the federal funds rate during the period.
Stocks retreated, then rebounded
Against a weakening economic backdrop, the U.S. stock market lost 6.91% for the 12-month period, as measured by the S&P 500® Index. Losses affected the stocks of companies of all sizes and investment style categories, as measured by their respective Russell indices.2 Stock markets outside the U.S. were modestly to significantly higher than the U.S. market. The MSCI EAFE Index,3 a broad gauge of stock market performance in foreign developed markets, gained 3.23% (in U.S. dollars) for the period.

The Russell MidCap Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, which represents approximately 25% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 Index. The Russell 2000 Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, which represents approximately 8% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index.

Summary
For the 12-month period that ended September 30, 2009
g Domestic stocks lost ground, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, but cut their losses in a rebound that began half way through the period. International stocks moved higher, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index.

Economic Update (continued) – Stock Funds
Emerging stock markets were also caught in the downdraft, but bounced back stronger than domestic or developed world markets in 2009. The MSCI EMI4 returned 19.07% (in U.S. dollars).
Bonds outperformed domestic stocks
As investors sought refuge from a volatile stock market, the highest-quality sectors of the U.S. bond market delivered solid gains. During the first half of the period, Treasury prices rose and yields declined sharply as the economy faltered and stock market volatility increased. As hopes for a recovery materialized in the second half of the period, yields rose and Treasuries lagged behind riskier segments of the bond market. The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield began the period at 3.8%, declined to 2.2% in December 2008, then rose to end the period at 3.3%. In this environment, the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index5 returned 10.56%. High-yield bond prices fell sharply in 2008 as economic prospects weakened and default fears rose, then rebounded strongly in 2009. For the 12-month period, the JPMorgan Developed BB High Yield Index6 returned 16.36%.

Fund Profile – Columbia Asset Allocation Fund
Summary
g For the 12-month period that ended September 30, 2009, the fund's Class A shares returned 2.63% without sales charge.
g The fund outperformed the average return of its peer group, the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds Classification1, which was 0.73%. Its equity benchmark, the S&P 500® Index2, returned negative 6.91%. Its fixed income benchmark, the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index3, returned 10.56%.
g Both the fund's large-cap and small-cap value positions beat their benchmarks, as did the fund's investment-grade bond portfolio. We believe that exposure to emerging-markets stocks and high-yield bonds, both of which were strong performers during the rally, also helped performance relative to the peer group.

The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% for Class A and Class T shares and the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year and eliminated thereafter for Class B shares and 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The "without sales charge" returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower.
Performance results reflect any fee waivers or reimbursements of fund expenses by the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.
All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees. Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Please see the fund's prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.
The tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.
Class A, Class B, Class C, Class T and Class Z share performance information includes returns of Prime A shares (for Class A shares), Prime B shares (for Class B and Class C shares), Retail A shares (for Class T shares) and Trust shares (for Class Z shares) of Galaxy Asset Allocation Fund, the predecessor to the Fund and a series of the Galaxy Fund (the "Predecessor Fund"), for periods prior to November 18, 2002, the date on which Class A, Class B, Class C, Class T and Class Z shares were initially offered by the Fund. These returns shown for all share classes reflect any differences in sales charges, but have not been restated to reflect any differences in expenses between the Predecessor Fund share classes and the corresponding newer share classes. If differences in expenses had been reflected, the returns shown for periods prior to November 18, 2002 would be lower for Class A, Class B and Class C shares.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Asset Allocation Fund
As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your fund's expenses by share class
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the "Actual" column is calculated using the fund's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this period.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees.
Estimating your actual expenses
To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from Columbia Management Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.columbiafunds.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 800.345.6611.
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.
1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.
2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during the period," locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled "Actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
If the value of your account falls below the minimum initial investment requirement applicable to you, your account generally will be subject to a $20 annual fee. This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.
04/01/09 – 09/30/09
| | Account value at the beginning of the period ($) | | 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 | | | | 1,261.31 | | | | 1,019.05 | | | | 6.80 | | | | 6.07 | | | | 1.20 | | |
Class B | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,254.60 | | | | 1,015.29 | | | | 11.02 | | | | 9.85 | | | | 1.95 | | |
Class C | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,254.60 | | | | 1,015.29 | | | | 11.02 | | | | 9.85 | | | | 1.95 | | |
Class T | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,258.51 | | | | 1,018.80 | | | | 7.08 | | | | 6.33 | | | | 1.25 | | |
Class Z | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,261.51 | | | | 1,020.31 | | | | 5.39 | | | | 4.81 | | | | 0.95 | | |
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 365.
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.

For the 12-month period that ended September 30, 2009, the fund's Class A shares returned 2.63% without sales charge. That was higher than the average return of the fund's peer group, the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds Classification, which was 0.73%. The fund's equity benchmark, the S&P 500® Index, returned negative 6.91%. The fund's fixed income benchmark, the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, returned 10.56%. Outperformance from investment-grade bonds, as well as small-cap value and large-cap value stocks, aided results. Investments in high-yield bonds, as well as in emerging-markets stocks, also helped performance, particularly in the second half of the period.
Turnaround by emerging-markets stocks and high-yield bonds
The investment market rout that began in the fall of 2008 continued into March, driven by deteriorating economic data, concerns over large financial company balance sheets, frozen credit markets, a weak housing market and rising unemployment. However, in the spring of 2009, stocks took off, buoyed by hopes that an economic recovery would be fueled by unprecedented fiscal and monetary stimulus. Bonds also rallied, benefiting from historically low interest rates and a growing sense of confidence among investors. Higher-risk sectors, including emerging-markets stocks and high-yield bonds, led the rebound. Despite substantial gains in the second half of the period, equities closed the fiscal year in negative territory, lagging the positive returns posted by bonds.
Strength from corporate bond sector
Over the year, we increased the fund's fixed-income allocation from roughly 40% of assets to 48%. More than one-third of assets were in investment-grade corporate bonds, which posted strong positive gains that outperformed the return of the Barclays index. Exposure to high-yield bonds was also positive, although behind the 16.36% return of the JPMorgan Global High Yield Index.1
Gained ground from large-cap and value stocks
The fund benefited from having between 30% and 40% of its assets in large-cap stocks, which were not down as much as small-cap stocks for the period. The fund's large-cap holdings were split equally between the growth and value disciplines. Within large cap, growth stocks held up much better than value stocks. The fund picked up ground from its large-cap value holdings, which were not down as much as their benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index.2 The portfolio's large-cap growth allocation, however, was down slightly more than the modest decline of its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index.3 We kept 10% of assets in mid- and small-cap stocks and 10% in overseas markets, with an overweight in emerging markets that proved helpful. Most of these

Portfolio Managers' Report (continued) – Columbia Asset Allocation Fund
positions trailed their respective benchmarks, with the exception of small-cap value, which held up better than the negative 12.61% return of the Russell 2000 Value Index.4
Strategic changes to fund allocations
As economic data began to stabilize late in the period, we decided to reduce the fund's overweights in areas that had led the rebound, namely small-cap and emerging-markets equities. Late in the period, the fund gained the ability to invest in Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) as well as commodity-related derivative instruments, futures, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and third-party advised mutual funds. We hope to use these less traditional asset classes to reduce portfolio risk, particularly in periods of financial turmoil. At period end, the fund had a small stake in TIPS as well as commodity ETFs, contributing to a shift in positioning from 60% equities/40% fixed income and cash early on to 52% equities/ 45% fixed-income and cash/3% commodities at period end.
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 those presented for other Columbia Funds.
Equity investments are affected by stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments.
Investments in high-yield or "junk" bonds offer the potential for higher income than investments in investment-grade bonds, but also involve a higher degree of risk. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances may adversely affect a high-yield bond issuer's ability to make timely principal and interest payments. High-yield bonds issued by foreign entities have greater potential risks, including less regulation, currency fluctuations, economic instability and political developments.
The fund may be subject to the same types of risks associated with direct ownership of real estate, including the decline of property values due to general, local and regional economic conditions.
International investing may involve certain risks, including currency fluctuations, risks associated with possible differences in financial accounting standards and other monetary and political risks. Significant levels of foreign taxes, including potentially confiscatory levels of taxation and withholding taxes, may also apply to some foreign investments.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund
Estimating your actual expenses
To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from 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.

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 365.
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 Managers' Report – Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund
For the 12-month period that ended September 30, 2009, the fund's Class A shares returned negative 3.97% without sales charge. The fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, returned negative 1.85%. The average return of funds in its peer group, the Lipper Large Cap Growth Funds Classification, was negative 2.72%. In a period of heightened volatility, stock selection detracted from performance relative to the index. In a changing market environment, we continued to maintain a high level of diversification, emphasizing companies with strong balance sheets, low debt and ample free cash flow.
Stock selection across several sectors detracted from returns
In the energy sector, Hess (0.7% of net assets) and Schlumberger were disappointments. Hess, an oil exploration and production company, owned part of a substantial oil find off the coast of Brazil. Investors turned more cautious on the short-term prospects for these Brazilian operations. Schlumberger, an oil field service company, lost ground as the price of oil declined. We maintained the fund's position in Hess but sold Schlumberger.
In the telecommunication services sector, NII Holdings, a Latin American mobile service provider, pushed returns lower. Demand for texting and other data usage has become strong in Latin America. As a result, that market has become increasingly competitive. This "Darwinian" environment created investor concern about future market share and profitability for NII, and we sold the stock.
A weak economy drove consumer discretionary shares lower, and three fund holdings were caught in this decline: Urban Outfitters, Wynn Resorts—both of which we sold—and Lowe's (1.1% of net assets). We held onto Lowe's because we believe its prospects should improve as the economy strengthens and the housing market stabilizes.
Utilities, information technology and financial stocks were positive contributors
Certain stocks in the utilities, information technology and financials sectors helped offset losses elsewhere in the portfolio. In utilities, AES (1.0% of net assets), one of the world's largest power companies, soared. Generating power in 29 countries—primarily emerging markets—the company benefited from the deployment of stimulus money as emerging market countries rebuilt their infrastructures. Economic recoveries in emerging market countries, such as China, have exceeded our expectations.
In the technology sector, Apple (3.4 of net assets) shares climbed, as iPhone sales were strong even in the face of a weak economy. Despite its strong gains, we believe Apple has more room for growth. EMC (1.3 of net assets), the data storage giant, also gave returns a lift. EMC benefited from the anticipation of an improvement in technology spending. Search engine Google (3.0% of net assets) also did well, gaining market share at the expense of weaker competitors.
In the financials sector, the fund gained ground from positions in both Goldman Sachs Group and Morgan Stanley (0.8% and 1.5% of net assets, respectively), which also gained market share at the expense of weaker competitors. Both companies generated solid revenues and demonstrated their intent to come out ahead after the recent financial meltdown. Additionally, Goldman paid back money it received from the federal government's Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).

Looking ahead
Moving forward, we intend to invest with sensitivity to the economic rebound but we are mindful that valuations have risen as the result of the market's sharp rally. Although we expect the economy to improve, the driver of future economic growth remains unclear. We believe that unemployment is likely to remain high and the stimulus package is limited in its ability to aid the employment picture. In this environment, we plan to focus on individual stock selection with an eye to avoiding overpaying for stocks that could benefit from directional growth and managing downside risk.
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 those presented for other Columbia Funds.
Equity investments are affected by stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments.
International investing may involve certain risks, including currency fluctuations, risks associated with possible differences in financial accounting standards and other monetary and political risks. Significant levels of foreign taxes, including potentially confiscatory levels of taxation and withholding taxes, may also apply to some foreign investments.
Investing in growth stocks incurs the possibility of losses because their prices are sensitive to changes in current or expected earnings.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Disciplined Value Fund
As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your fund's expenses by share class
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the "Actual" column is calculated using the fund's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this period.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees.
Estimating your actual expenses
To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from Columbia Management Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.columbiafunds.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 800.345.6611.
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.
1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.
2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during the period," locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled "Actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
If the value of your account falls below the minimum initial investment requirement applicable to you, your account generally will be subject to a $20 annual fee. This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.

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 365.
It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

For the 12-month period that ended September 30, 2009, the fund's Class A shares returned negative 7.72% without sales charge. The fund held up better than both its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, which returned negative 10.62%, and the negative 7.92% average return of the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Classification. As fear and risk aversion gripped investors during the first half of the period, the fund's defensive positioning helped relative results. Holdings in the telecommunications, health care and consumer staples areas were positive contributors, while disappointments came from areas dependent on consumer spending and economic stability, including the consumer discretionary, technology and industrials sectors.
Telecommunications, health care and consumer holdings helped relative returns
The strongest performing sectors in the fund's portfolio were telecommunications and health care. Both generated positive results in an otherwise difficult period. Wireless provider Sprint Nextel (1.4% of net assets) and Internet and digital phone provider Qwest Communications International (0.3% of net assets) benefited from their defensively positioned, subscription-based business models and delivered solid gains for the period. Diversified global pharmaceutical company Mylan produced strong results in response to tentative FDA approval of a new HIV drug. We sold the stock. Health insurer UnitedHealth Group and Endo Pharmaceuticals Holding (1.7% and 0.8% of net assets, respectively) also made a substantial contribution to positive returns during the period, as an aging populace drove rising demand for health care services and products. In a weak economy, a perceived safe haven in the food products industry drove returns at glo bal agribusiness concern Bunge (sold during the year) and processed foods maker Del Monte Foods (0.4% of net assets).
Declines in consumer discretionary, technology and industrials holdings detracted
Sectors exposed to the weakened economic environment and slowing consumer spending were among the hardest hit during the period. As a result, holdings in consumer discretionary, technology and industrials detracted from the fund's returns. Media stocks CBS and Gannett were hurt as a downturn in advertising revenues threatened earnings. We sold both stocks. We also eliminated positions in retailers American Eagle Outfitters and Macy's, which saw poor results as consumer spending weakened. Slowing demand and increased pricing competition hurt computer hard-drive maker Seagate Technology, and we sold the stock. The economically sensitive industrials sector was also hit hard during the period. Northrop Grumman faced defense spending headwinds, while Ryder Systems and Tyco International were affected by slowing industrial production. We eliminated all three positions. Balance sheet issues in the troubled banking sector detracted from results at Wells Fargo, U.S. Bancorp and Goldman Sachs Group (3.6%, 2.5% and 2.7% of net assets, respectively).

Portfolio Manager's Report (continued) – Columbia Disciplined Value Fund
Focused on quality and valuation in a volatile market environment
The stock market experienced large swings over the 12-month period. Fear and risk aversion characterized the first half, causing credit markets to seize up and stock prices to move substantially lower. Central banks and governments responded with fiscal and monetary stimulus on a global basis. As liquidity worked its way through the financial system, risk aversion abated and investors began to focus on the reflationary effects of the massive policy response. Consequently, the stock market rallied in the last half of the period. Going forward, the strength and sustainability of the nascent economic recovery will be the main challenge for the stock market. Against this backdrop, we continue to follow a disciplined, quantitative approach to stock selection, emphasizing both quality and valuation. Within each sector, we seek stocks with a catalyst that may lead to improved valuations, believing that this is a sound approach over the long term.
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 those presented for other Columbia Funds.
Equity investments are affected by stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments.
Investments in small- and mid-cap stocks may present special risks. They tend to be more volatile and tend to be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Small-cap stocks often have narrower markets, limited financial resources and tend to be more thinly traded than stocks of larger companies.
Value stocks are securities of companies that may have experienced adverse business or industry developments or may be subject to special risks that have caused the stocks to be out of favor. The market value of a portfolio security may not meet the manager's future value assessment of such security, or may decline.

For equity funds, the vertical axis shows the market capitalization of the stocks owned, and the horizontal axis shows investment style (value, blend or growth). Information shown is based on the most recent data provided by Morningstar.
Summary
g For the 12-month period that ended September 30, 2009, the fund's Class A shares returned negative 0.28% without sales charge.
g In a volatile period for stocks, the fund held up considerably better than both its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index1, and the average return of its peer group, the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Classification.2
g The fund focused on higher-quality corporations with strong balance sheets early in the 12-month period and became more aggressive in its stock selection when valuations of some lower-quality stocks became increasingly attractive. This shift aided performance both during the stock market decline in the first half of the period and also in the market rebound in the second half of the period.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Contrarian Core Fund
Estimating your actual expenses
To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from 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.

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.

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 365.
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 Contrarian Core Fund
For the 12-month period that ended September 30, 2009, the fund's Class A shares returned negative 0.28% without sales charge. The fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index, returned negative 6.14% and the average return of its peer group, the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Classification, was negative 5.89% for the same period. The fund's stock selection strategy aided performance as the market transitioned from downturn to rebound.
Stock selection strategy aided performance
The equity market environment shifted dramatically from the beginning to the end of the 12-month period covered by this report. In the first half of the period, stock prices declined sharply as the economy struggled with the most severe recession since the Great Depression. In this environment, we emphasized higher-quality stocks with strong finances, reflecting our belief that we had no price incentive to invest in lower-quality companies. However, when we began to see valuation spreads between stocks begin to expand dramatically, some lower-quality stocks began to look more attractive. Consistent with our long-term, contrarian discipline of investing in out-of-favor stocks where we find value, we started to become more opportunistic, taking profits from some successful high-quality investments and redeploying assets into investments with weaker fundamentals but more upside potential. This shift helped position the fund for the robust market recovery that began in March 2009 and continued through the end of the period.
In addition, good stock selection, based on company-by-company analysis of business prospects, also benefited the fund's performance relative to its benchmark and peer group. Stock selection in 7 of 10 market sectors outperformed their benchmark performance, led by holdings in the information technology, telecommunication and financials groups. Within technology, the leading contributor was Apple (2.4% of net assets), as it continued to introduce innovative new consumer-oriented products, such as the new 3GS iPhone. Meanwhile, EMC (0.7% of net assets) gained as signs emerged that corporate customers found a bottom and were becoming more confident about the outlook and increased investments in information technology storage systems. In the telecommunication services sector, early in the period we emphasized higher-quality companies such as Verizon Communications and AT&T. Valuation, however, ultimately drew us to Sprint Nexte l and Millicom International Cellular (1.1% of net assets), both of which performed well in the market's rally. We subsequently sold the fund's AT&T and Sprint Nextel positions.
Within the financials sector, we de-emphasized traditional lenders and focused on corporations with exposure to the capital markets, which we believed would be the more direct beneficiaries of the Federal Reserve Board's efforts to stabilize and bring life back to capital markets activity. A large position in investment bank Goldman Sachs Group (2.4% of net assets) was the leading contributor in the financials group.

Health care selections detracted
Stock selection in the health care sector generated disappointing results. We maintained a large position in pharmaceuticals firm Abbott Laboratories (2.9% of net assets) throughout the period, as this higher-quality company continued to post solid earnings. Nevertheless, the stock declined as investors looked for companies with more aggressive characteristics. Decelerating revenues from Abbott's Humira product, a drug used in the treatment of arthritis, also weighed on the stock. Meanwhile medical instrument developer Thermo Fisher Scientific (1.6% of net assets) fell because of market concerns about slowing revenues. We retained positions in both Abbott and Thermo Fisher, as well as in Avon Products (1.0% of net assets), a weak-performing consumer staples company that was victimized both by softening demand domestically and by the strengthening dollar, which in late 2008 cut into profits from foreign sales.
Looking ahead
U.S. corporate executives appear increasingly confident that they can improve earnings over the next six months, which should bode well for stock performance. The outlook becomes less clear beyond those six months. One potential scenario is that the market rally may continue as a persistent economic recovery leads to higher profits and the creation of additional jobs. However, it also is possible that the economic revival could stall as federal stimulus spending slows. This could lead to further economic weakness, especially if the automotive and housing industries aren't able to provide the lifts that were characteristic of earlier recoveries.
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 those presented for other Columbia Funds.

The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% for Class A and Class T shares and the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year and eliminated thereafter for Class B shares and 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The "without sales charge" returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower.
Performance results reflect any fee waivers or reimbursements of fund expenses by the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.
All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees. Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Please see the fund's prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.
The tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.
Class A, Class B, Class C, Class T and Class Z share performance information includes returns of Prime A shares (for Class A shares), Prime B shares (for Class B shares), Retail A shares (for Class C and Class T shares) and Trust shares (for Class Z shares) of Galaxy Small Cap Value Fund, the predecessor to the Fund and a series of the Galaxy Fund (the "Predecessor Fund"), for periods prior to November 18, 2002, the date on which Class A, Class B, Class C, Class T and Class Z shares were initially offered by the Fund. These returns shown for all share classes reflect any differences in sales charges, but have not been restated to reflect any differences in expenses between the Predecessor Fund share classes and the corresponding newer share classes. If differences in expenses had been reflected, the returns shown for periods prior to November 18, 2002 would be lower for Class A, Class B and Class C shares.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Small Cap Core Fund
As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your fund's expenses by share class
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the "Actual" column is calculated using the fund's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this period.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees.
Estimating your actual expenses
To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from Columbia Management Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.columbiafunds.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 800.345.6611.
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.
1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.
2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during the period," locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled "Actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
If the value of your account falls below the minimum initial investment requirement applicable to you, your account generally will be subject to a $20 annual fee. This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.

| | 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 (%) | |

Class A | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,486.48 | | | | 1,018.70 | | | | 7.92 | | | | 6.43 | | | | 1.27 | | |
Class B | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,480.11 | | | | 1,014.94 | | | | 12.56 | | | | 10.20 | | | | 2.02 | | |
Class C | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,479.41 | | | | 1,014.94 | | | | 12.56 | | | | 10.20 | | | | 2.02 | | |
Class T | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,484.98 | | | | 1,018.45 | | | | 8.22 | | | | 6.68 | | | | 1.32 | | |
Class Z | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,487.48 | | | | 1,019.95 | | | | 6.36 | | | | 5.16 | | | | 1.02 | | |
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 365.
It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

For the 12-month period that ended September 30, 2009, the fund's Class A shares returned negative 7.41% without sales charge. The fund's benchmarks, the S&P SmallCap 600 Composite Index and the Russell 2000 Index, returned negative 10.61% and negative 9.55%, respectively, for the same period. The average return of the fund's peer group, the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Classification, was negative 6.42%. An underweight in financials combined with good stock selection across several sectors helped the portfolio outperform its benchmarks. However, some of these gains were offset by stock selection in other sectors as well as an overweight in industrials as commodity prices declined.
Sector weights and stock selection in key sectors aided performance
Financials, still reeling from the subprime mortgage crisis fallout, declined sharply for the 12-month period. Compared to the Russell 2000 Index's 9.55% loss, finanicals within the index lost 22.34%. The fund's losses from financial holdings were generally on par with those of the index. However its exposure to financials was less than half the exposure of the Russell 2000 benchmark, which helped stem portfolio losses and aided relative performance.
An overweight and stock selection in health care also benefited the fund. Specifically, Hi-Tech Pharmacal (0.7% of net assets) generated stellar returns as it rose from depressed levels in late 2008. This generic drug company exhibited exceptional positive earnings as a result of a newly-approved generic product.
Certain stocks within information technology, where the fund had significantly more exposure than its benchmarks, buoyed performance as well. Technology storage company STEC (0.4% of net assets) and electronics manufacturers Benchmark Electronics and Plexus (3.1% and 1.1% of net assets, respectively) were among the sector's top contributors. These companies were able to maintain strong balance sheets throughout the economic downturn, but were heavily discounted when the equity markets declined at the beginning of the period. Their strong free cash flow was rewarded when the markets turned and their stocks rose from relatively cheap prices, which benefited the fund's performance. While we continue to hold all three stocks, we trimmed the position in STEC on the belief that competitors were gaining ground on the company.
In the consumer discretionary sector, the fund's underweight relative to its benchmarks detracted from performance. However, certain stocks provided a significant boost to performance. One such stock was Cooper Tire & Rubber (0.7% of net assets), which manufactures replacement tires. The company was hurt when commodity prices soared. However, the price of energy and other commodities declined in late 2008, leading more recently to higher margins and a higher share price. Monro Muffler Brake (0.7% of net assets), a car repair and tire service provider, gained from the challenging economic conditions. As more consumers shifted from using car dealerships for service maintenance and car dealers closed, Monro grew its customer base, pushing its stock's price higher.

Portfolio Managers' Report (continued) – Columbia Small Cap Core Fund
Industrials dampened performance
Although an overweight in industrials aided fund performance in 2008, it was a drag on performance during this 12-month period. We had reduced the fund's exposure to industrials, yet it remained overweight, detracting from performance. In addition, the fund held a number of stocks that were particular disappointments. NCI Building Systems (0.2% of net assets), which manufactures metal products for construction, was hurt by lingering debt from an acquisition and from tight margins that resulted from the rise in commodity prices, which resulted in negative earnings. As a result, we reduced the fund's position in NCI. Aircraft component producer Moog (1.0% of net assets) was another detractor. The company suffered as the production of commercial airplanes declined.
A consistent strategy moving forward
When the markets were declining and hitting severe lows, we saw plenty of bargains. In some ways, it was difficult to prioritize the opportunities. Today, stock selection has become even more challenging. While we have seen some signs of stabilization in the economy, and many companies are exceeding their earnings expectations, we will be watching closely for a rise in company revenues. Regardless of what happens in the markets, we will maintain a consistent approach in seeking to identify companies with solid balance sheets that are trading at reasonable valuations, while keeping the portfolio's turnover of securities relatively low.
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 those presented for other Columbia Funds.
Equity investments are affected by stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments.
Investments in small-cap stocks may be subject to greater volatility and price fluctuations because they may be thinly traded and less liquid than investments in larger companies.
Value stocks are securities of companies that may have experienced adverse business or industry developments or may be subject to special risks that have caused the stocks to be out of favor. The market value of a portfolio security may not meet the manager's future value assessment of such security, or may decline.

Notes to Financial Statements – Stock Funds
September 30, 2009
Note 1. Organization
Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the "Trust") is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the following diversified funds (each, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"), each a series of the Trust:
Columbia Asset Allocation Fund
Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund
Columbia Disciplined Value Fund
Columbia Contrarian Core Fund
Columbia Small Cap Core Fund
Investment Objectives
Columbia Asset Allocation Fund seeks total return, consisting of current income and long-term capital appreciation. Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund and Columbia Small Cap Core Fund each seek long-term capital appreciation. Columbia Disciplined Value Fund seeks total return, consisting primarily of long-term capital appreciation and secondarily of current income. Columbia Contrarian Core Fund seeks total return, consisting of long-term capital appreciation and current income.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and each Fund offers the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class T and Class Z. Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund also offers Class E, Class F and Class Y shares. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable. Class Y shares commenced operations effective July 15, 2009. Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund's Class E and Class F shares are closed to new investors and new accounts. Effective February 17, 2009, Columbia Small Cap Core Fund was reopened to new investors and new accounts. Effective June 22, 2009, the Funds no longer accept investments in Class B shares from new or existing investors in the Funds' Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or capital gain distributions in Class B shares of each Fund and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of the other Columbia Funds.
Class A, Class E and Class T shares are subject to a front-end sales charge based on the amount of initial investment. Class A and Class T shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") if the shares are sold within one year after purchase. Class E shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $5 million at the time of purchase are subject to a 1.00% CDSC if the shares are sold within one year after purchase. Class B and Class F shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B and Class F shares will generally convert to Class A and Class E shares, respectively, eight years after purchase. Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares sold within one year after purchase. Class Y and Class Z sh ares are offered continuously at net asset value. There are certain restrictions on the purchase of Class Y and Class Z shares, as described in each Fund's prospectus.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through November 20, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued, and except as disclosed in Note 13, noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosures. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.
Security Valuation
Equity securities, exchange-traded funds and securities of certain investment companies are valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are
103
Stock Funds, September 30, 2009 (continued)
valued at the closing bid price on such exchanges or over-the-counter markets.
Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees, based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation.
Certain debt securities, which tend to be more thinly traded and of lesser quality, are priced based on fundamental analysis of the financial condition of the issuer and the estimated value of any collateral. Valuations developed through pricing techniques may vary from the actual amounts realized upon sale of the securities, and the potential variation may be greater for those securities valued using fundamental analysis.
Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Purchased options are valued at the last reported sale price, or in the absence of a sale, at the last quoted bid price. Written options are valued at the last reported sale price, or in the absence of a sale, at the last quoted ask price.
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies.
Foreign securities are generally valued at the last sale price on the foreign exchange or market on which they trade. If any foreign share prices are not readily available as a result of limited share activity, the securities are valued at the last sale price of the local shares in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded.
Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Funds' shares are determined as of such times. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 4:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such foreign securities and such exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE, which would not be reflected in the computation of the Funds' net asset values. If events materially affecting the values of such foreign securities occur and it is determined that market quotations are not reliable, then these foreign securities will be valued at their fair value using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.
Certain Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value securities principally traded in foreign markets in order to adjust for possible stale pricing that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time for valuation.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. If a security is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security. The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine value.
Management establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
• Level 2 – prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others)
• Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted
104
Stock Funds, September 30, 2009 (continued)
prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
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.
Management is required to provide disclosures regarding the Funds' 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 derivative contracts. For additional information on derivative instruments, please see Note 6.
Repurchase Agreements
Each Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that Columbia Management Advisors, LLC ("Columbia"), the Funds' investment advisor, has determined are creditworthy. Each Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Columbia is responsible for determining that the collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays in or restrictions on each Fund's ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Funds seek to assert their rights.
Delayed Delivery Securities
Each Fund may trade securities on other than normal settlement terms, including securities purchased or sold on a "when-issued" basis. This may increase the risk if the other party to the transaction fails to deliver and causes the Funds to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. Each Fund holds until the settlement date, in a segregated account, cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.
Treasury Inflation Protected Securities
Columbia Asset Allocation Fund may invest in treasury inflation protected securities ("TIPS"). The principal amount of TIPS is adjusted periodically and is increased for inflation or decreased for deflation based on a monthly published index. Interest payments are based on the adjusted principal at the time the interest is paid. These adjustments are recorded as interest income on the Statements of Operations.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations
The values of all assets and liabilities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at that day's exchange rates. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions and translations include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes.
For financial statement purposes, the Funds do not distinguish that portion of gains (losses) on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments on the Statements of Operations.
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded on the ex-date except for certain foreign securities which are recorded as soon after the ex-date as the Funds become aware of such, net of any non-reclaimable tax withholdings.
105
Stock Funds, September 30, 2009 (continued)
Distributions received from real estate investment trusts (REITs) in excess of their income are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the related investments. If the Funds no longer own the applicable securities, any distributions received in excess of income are recorded as realized gains.
Awards from class action litigation are recorded as a reduction of cost if the Funds still own the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Funds no longer own the applicable securities, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Funds and other series of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to such Fund.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, as shown on the Statements of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Funds on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.
Federal Income Tax Status
Each Fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income, if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, each Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that each Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income for Columbia Asset Allocation Fund and Columbia Disciplined Value Fund, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Distributions from net investment income for Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund, Columbia Contrarian Core Fund and Columbia Small Cap Core Fund, if any, are declared and paid annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually for all Funds. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, each Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. A Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because this would involve future claims against a Fund. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and by contract, the Trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of actions relating to their duties to the Trust. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss due to these representations, warranties and indemnities to be minimal.
Note 3. Federal Tax Information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to each Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under income tax regulations.
For the year ended September 30, 2009, permanent book and tax basis differences resulting primarily from differing
106
Stock Funds, September 30, 2009 (continued)
treatments for net operating losses, foreign currency transactions, expired capital loss carryforwards, market discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities, REIT adjustments, proceeds from litigation settlements, passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") adjustments and paydown adjustments were identified and reclassified among the components of each Fund's net assets as follows:
| | Undistributed (Overdistributed) Net Investment Income | | Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) | | Paid-In Capital | |
Columbia Asset Allocation Fund | | $ | 200,050 | | | $ | (195,871 | ) | | $ | (4,179 | ) | |

Columbia Small Cap Core Fund | | | 849,498 | | | | (155,408 | ) | | | (694,090 | ) | |
Net investment income and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed on the Statements of Operations, and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

107
Stock Funds, September 30, 2009 (continued)
As of September 30, 2009, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)* | |
Columbia Asset Allocation Fund | | $ | 540,175 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 18,959,157 | | |

Columbia Small Cap Core Fund | | | — | | | | — | | | | (28,615,736 | ) | |
* The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation are primarily due to deferral of losses from wash sales and discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities.
Unrealized appreciation and depreciation at September 30, 2009, based on cost of investments for federal income tax purposes, excluding any unrealized appreciation and depreciation from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates, were:

Management is required 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 by each Fund is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management 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. However, management's conclusions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). The Funds' federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal ye ars remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Shareholder Services Fees
The Funds have adopted a shareholder services plan that permits them to pay for certain services provided to Class T shareholders by service organizations. The Funds may pay shareholder services fees of up to 0.25% of each Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares for shareholder liaison services and up to 0.25% of each Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares for administrative support services, provided, however, that the aggregate fee shall not exceed 0.30% of each Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares.

Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements
Effective January 1, 2009, Columbia has voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of the Funds' expenses so that the Funds' ordinary operating expenses (excluding any distribution and service fees, brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any), after giving effect to any balance credits from the Funds' custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates, based on each Fund's average daily net assets:
| | Annual Rate | |
Columbia Asset Allocation Fund | | | 0.95 | % | |
Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund | | | 1.00 | % | |
Columbia Disciplined Value Fund | | | 1.00 | % | |

Columbia, in its discretion, may revise or discontinue this arrangement at any time. Prior to February 1, 2009, Columbia voluntarily reimbursed Columbia Contrarian Core Fund so that ordinary operating expenses did not exceed 0.89% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
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
112
Stock Funds, September 30, 2009 (continued)
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 funds, which are included in "Trustees' fees" on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The deferred compensation plan may be terminated at any time. Any payments to plan participants are paid solely out of the Funds' assets.
Other Related Party Transactions
In connection with the purchase and sale of their securities during the period, the Funds used one or more brokers that are affiliates of BOA. Total brokerage commissions paid to affiliated brokers for the year ended September 30, 2009 were as follows:
| | Amount | |
Columbia Asset Allocation Fund | | $ | 4,897 | | |
Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund | | | 99,531 | | |
Columbia Disciplined Value Fund | | | 18,780 | | |
Columbia Contrarian Core Fund | | | 789 | | |
Columbia Small Cap Core Fund | | | 2,511 | | |
Note 5. Custody Credits
Each Fund has an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may be reduced by balance credits. These credits are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statements of Operations. The Funds could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if they had not entered into such an agreement.
For the year ended September 30, 2009, these custody credits reduced total expenses for the Funds as follows:
| | Custody Credits | |
Columbia Asset Allocation Fund | | $ | 213 | | |
Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund | | | 11 | | |
Columbia Disciplined Value Fund | | | 22 | | |
Columbia Contrarian Core Fund | | | 3 | | |
Columbia Small Cap Core Fund | | | 79 | | |
Note 6. Objectives and Strategies for Investing in Derivatives Instruments
Objectives
Columbia Asset Allocation Fund and Columbia Disciplined Value Fund use derivatives instruments, including futures contracts, options, and forward foreign currency exchange contracts, in order to meet their investment objectives. The Funds employ strategies in differing combinations to permit them to increase, decrease or change the level of exposure to market risk factors. The achievement of any strategy relating to derivatives depends on analysis of various risk factors, and if the derivatives investment strategies do not work as intended, the Funds may not achieve their objectives.
In pursuit of the Funds' investment objectives, Columbia Asset Allocation Fund and Columbia Disciplined Value Fund are exposed to the following market risks:
Equity Risk: Equity risk relates to changes in value of equity securities such as common stocks due to general market conditions such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, or adverse investor sentiment. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities.
Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuation in value of fixed income securities because of the inverse relationship of price and yield. Fixed income securities generally will decline in value upon an increase in general interest rates, and their value generally will increase upon a decline in general interest rates. Fixed income securities with
113
Stock Funds, September 30, 2009 (continued)
longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk: Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign-currency-denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.
The following notes provide more detailed information about each derivative type held by Columbia Asset Allocation Fund and Columbia Disciplined Value Fund:
Futures Contracts—Columbia Asset Allocation Fund and Columbia Disciplined Value Fund entered into stock index futures contracts to equitize cash in order to maintain appropriate equity market exposure while keeping sufficient cash to accommodate daily redemptions. Columbia Asset Allocation Fund entered into interest rate futures contracts to manage the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund versus the benchmark.
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. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds pledge 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. The Funds recognize a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires.
Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed on the Fund's Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Options—Columbia Asset Allocation Fund had written covered call and purchased put options to decrease the Fund's exposure to equity risk and to increase return on instruments. A written covered call and purchased put options become more valuable as the price of the underlying instruments depreciates relative to the strike price.
Writing put options tends to increase the Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against the amounts paid on the underlying security transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Fund, as writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying security may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. There is the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. The Fund's custodian will set aside cash or liquid portfolio securities equal to the amount of the written options contract commitment in a separate account.
The Fund may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. The Fund may pay a premium, which is included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised are added to the amounts paid (call) or offset against the proceeds (put) on the underlying security to determine the realized gain or loss. If a Fund enters into a closing transaction, the Fund will realize a gain or loss, depending on whether the proceeds from the closing transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts—Columbia Asset Allocation Fund entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to shift its investment exposure from one currency to another. The Fund used forward contracts to shift its U.S. dollar exposure in order to achieve a representative weighted mix of major currencies in its benchmark and/or to recover an underweight country exposure in its portfolio.
114
Stock Funds, September 30, 2009 (continued)
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are agreements to exchange one currency for another at a future date at a specified price. These contracts are used to minimize the exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations during the period between the trade and settlement dates of the contract. The Fund may utilize forward foreign currency exchange contracts in connection with the settlement of purchases and sales of securities. The Fund may also enter into these contracts to reduce the exposure to adverse price movements in certain other foreign currency denominated assets. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are generally used to reduce the exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued daily at the current exchange rate of the underlying currency, resulting in unrealized gains (losses) which become reali zed at the time the contracts are closed or mature. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) arising from such transactions are included in net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the prices of the Fund's portfolio securities. While the maximum potential loss from such contracts is the aggregate face value in U.S. dollars at the time the contract was opened, exposure is typically limited to the change in value of the contract (in U.S. dollars) over the period it remains open. The Fund could also be exposed to risk that counterparties of the contracts may be unable to fulfill the terms of the contracts.
The following table is a summary of the Funds' value of derivative instruments as of September 30, 2009.

Note 8. Line of Credit
The Funds and other affiliated funds participate in a $280,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit provided by State Street. 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% or 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 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 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 September 30, 2009, the average daily loan balance outstanding on days where borrowing existed, and the weighted average interest rate of each Fund that borrowed were as follows:
| | Average Borrowings | | Weighted Average Interest Rate | |
Columbia Asset Allocation Fund | | $ | 1,000,000 | | | | 0.625 | % | |
Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund | | | 2,520,000 | | | | 0.661 | % | |
Columbia Disciplined Value Fund | | | 1,810,000 | | | | 1.013 | % | |
Columbia Contrarian Core Fund | | | 1,450,000 | | | | 1.000 | % | |
Note 9. Securities Lending
Each Fund may lend its securities to certain approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Each loan is collateralized by cash, in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned plus accrued income from the investment of collateral. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. The collateral received is invested and the income generated by the investment of the collateral, net of any fees remitted to State Street as the
116
Stock Funds, September 30, 2009 (continued)
lending agent and borrower rebates, is paid to the Funds. Generally, in the event of borrower default, the Funds have the right to use the collateral to offset any losses incurred. In the event the Funds are delayed or prevented from exercising their right to dispose of the collateral, there may be a potential loss to the Funds. The Funds bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral.
Note 10. Shares of Beneficial Interest
As of September 30, 2009, the Funds had shareholders that held greater than 5% of the shares outstanding of a Fund, whose shares were beneficially owned by participant accounts over which BOA and/or any of its affiliates had either sole or joint investment discretion. The percentages of shares of beneficial interest outstanding held therein are as follows:
| | % of Shares Outstanding Held | |
Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund | | | 31.3 | | |
Columbia Disciplined Value Fund | | | 49.0 | | |
Columbia Contrarian Core Fund | | | 22.5 | | |
Columbia Small Cap Core Fund | | | 31.0 | | |
As of September 30, 2009, the Funds had shareholders that held greater than 5% of the shares outstanding of a Fund, over which BOA and/or any of its affiliates did not have investment discretion. The number of accounts and the percentages of shares of beneficial interest outstanding held therein are as follows:
| | Number of Shareholders | | % of Shares Outstanding Held | |
Columbia Disciplined Value Fund | | | 1 | | | | 5.5 | | |
Columbia Contrarian Core Fund | | | 1 | | | | 5.6 | | |
Columbia Small Cap Core Fund | | | 1 | | | | 8.8 | | |
Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Funds.
Note 11. Regulatory Settlements
During the year ended September 30, 2009, Columbia Large Cap Growth Fund, Columbia Contrarian Core Fund and Columbia Small Cap Core Fund were entitled to receive payments of $663,170, $5,432 and $5,313, relating to certain regulatory settlements with third parties that each of these Funds has participated in during the year. The payments have been included in "Increase from regulatory settlements" on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
Note 12. Significant Risks and Contingencies
Sector Focus Risk
Certain Funds may focus their investments in certain sectors, subjecting them to greater risk than a fund that is less focused.
High-Yield Securities Risk
Columbia Asset Allocation Fund invests in high yield securities. Investing in high-yield securities may involve greater credit risk and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. Government bonds and other higher quality fixed income securities. These securities are non-investment grade securities, often referred to as "junk" bonds. Economic downturns may disrupt the high yield market and impair the ability of issuers to repay principal and interest. Also, an increase in interest rates would likely have an adverse impact on the value of such obligations. Moreover, high-yield securities may be less liquid to the extent that there is no established secondary market.
Foreign Securities Risk
There are certain additional risks involved when investing in foreign securities. These risks may involve foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, adverse political and economic developments and the possible prevention of currency exchange or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the liquidity of foreign securities may be more limited than that of domestic securities.
Investments in emerging market countries are subject to additional risk. The risk of foreign investments is typically increased in less developed countries. These countries are
117
Stock Funds, September 30, 2009 (continued)
also more likely to experience high levels of inflation, deflation or currency devaluation which could hurt their economies and securities markets.
Asset-Backed Securities Risk
Columbia Asset Allocation Fund invests in asset-backed securities. The value of asset-backed securities may be affected by, among other factors, changes in interest rates, the market's assessment of the quality of underlying assets, the creditworthiness of the servicer for the underlying assets, factors concerning the interests in and structure of the issuer or the originator of the underlying assets, or the creditworthiness or rating of the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds, derivative instruments, or other credit enhancement. The value of asset-backed securities also will be affected by the exhaustion, termination or expiration of any credit enhancement. Most asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is the possibility that the underlying debt may be refinanced or prepaid prior to maturity during periods of declining or low interest rates, causing the Fund to have to reinv est the money received in securities that have lower yields. In addition, the impact of prepayments on the value of asset-backed securities may be difficult to predict and may result in greater volatility.
Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk
Columbia Asset Allocation Fund invests in mortgage-backed securities. The value of mortgage-backed securities may be affected by, among other things, changes in interest rates, factors concerning the interests in and structure of the issuer or the originator of the mortgages, the creditworthiness of the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds or other credit enhancements or the quality of underlying assets or the market's assessment thereof. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is the possibility that the underlying mortgage may be refinanced or prepaid prior to maturity during periods of declining or low interest rates, causing the Funds to have to reinvest the money received in securities that have lower yields. In addition, the impact of prepayments on the value of mortgage-backed securities may be difficult to predict and may result in greater volatility.
Legal Proceedings
Columbia Management Advisors, LLC and Columbia Management Distributors, Inc. (collectively, the "Columbia Group") are subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") (the "NYAG Settlement") and a settlement order with the SEC (the "SEC Order") on matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the Columbia Group (or predecessor entities) agreed, among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money penalties collectively totaling $140 million; 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; and retain an independent consultant to review the Columbia Group's applicable supervisory, compliance, control and other policies and procedures. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires Columbia Management Advis ors, LLC and its affiliates to reduce management fees for certain funds in the Columbia family of mutual funds in a projected total of $160 million over five years through November 30, 2009 and to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the Columbia Group providing services to the Columbia Funds, the Columbia Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of their boards of trustees and certain special consulting and compliance measures.
Pursuant to the SEC Order and related procedures, the $140 million in settlement amounts described above has been substantially distributed in accordance with a distribution plan that was developed by an independent distribution consultant and approved by the SEC on April 6, 2007.
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
118
Stock Funds, September 30, 2009 (continued)
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 Management Advisors, Inc. (which has since merged into Banc of America Capital Management, LLC (now named Columbia Management Advisors, LLC)) ("Columbia"), Columbia Funds Distributor, Inc. (now named Columbia Management Distributors, Inc.) (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.
Note 13. Subsequent Events
On October 15, 2009 the committed line of credit discussed in Note 8 was renewed on amended terms. Pursuant to the amended terms, 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 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds pro rata based on their relative net assets. The annual operations agency fee of $20,000 was waived.
Effective November 1, 2009, the annual rate the Transfer Agent receives for the services discussed in Note 4 will change to $22.36 per open account.

President’s Message

Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to provide this shareholder report detailing your fund’s performance, portfolio holdings and financial statements. We hope this information is helpful in monitoring your investments as we work through these challenging economic times. We recognize that you have entrusted us with your money and want you to know that our professional investment teams work to interpret the latest economic and market trends with the goal of optimizing portfolio construction for our clients.
The first half of 2009 was defined by extremes. The multiyear lows we witnessed in the early months gave way to a stunning rally for the U.S. financial markets in the spring. A global market rebound may be underway, thanks to the massive fiscal and aggressive monetary policies of governments around the world. In the third quarter, the S&P 500 Index1 was up 15.61%. We believe this challenging economic environment makes it even more important to work with professional money managers while continuing to invest for life events like retirement, college planning, home improvements and career changes.
Retirement income planning has become an increasingly significant focus in the lives of millions of Americans. Recent economic conditions make it even more important to manage short-term obligations such as mortgages, monthly bills and credit card debt while also taking the steps necessary to prepare for or maximize retirement benefits. Better nutrition and medical services can result in U.S. citizens living longer, healthier lives. This means the risk of outliving one’s assets in retirement is very real without proper planning. Financial security and retirement planning is an ongoing process that requires active management of your savings, investments and risks. We encourage you to review your retirement plan regularly so you’ll be better able to meet your retirement needs in the future.
We recognize that economic uncertainty creates great challenges for many investors. Our professional investment teams work diligently to help investors navigate through difficult markets. Thank you for your business and for the opportunity to work together towards your investment goals.
Sincerely,

J. Kevin Connaughton
President, Columbia Funds

During the 12-month period that began October 1, 2008 and ended September 30, 2009, the U.S. economy faced the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, then steadied itself as steps taken by a new administration began to show results in the second half of the period. Economic growth, as measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP), contracted by approximately 6% between October 2008 and March 2009. The lapse from growth resulted in the longest-and most severe-recession in nearly three decades. However, growth turned positive in the third quarter ended September 30, 2009. The initial estimate of third quarter GDP was 3.5%.
The labor market shed more than seven million jobs between 2008 and 2009, raising the unemployment rate to 9.8% and wiping out all of the jobs gained since the last recession. Manufacturing activity slowed through most of the period, but it turned up in July and August, as did consumer spending. The beleaguered housing market showed some signs of stabilizing. Pending home sales, a leading indicator of housing activity increased for eight straight months to end the period, buoyed by low interest rates and an $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit. Existing home sales rose, but gave back some of their strong gains late in the period. The inventory of unsold houses also fell sharply over the period. Late in 2008, consumer confidence, as measured by the Conference Board,1 plummeted to its lowest point ever. However, it has since stabilized and turned higher near the end of the period.
Troubles that began in the U.S. subprime mortgage market resulted in a meltdown within the U.S. financial sector that claimed several major institutions in 2008 and led others to seek bailouts, restructuring or both. New rigorous lending standards severely limited access to credit, further hampering economic growth. In this environment, a new administration sought to stabilize the financial system, address economic woes and introduce sweeping health care reform. Stimulus spending began to flow into the economy, raising hopes that growth would be restored. In December 2008, the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) lowered a key short-term borrowing rate — the federal funds rate — to between zero and 0.25% — a record low. In light of protracted economic weakness and virtually no inflation, the Fed made no further change to the federal funds rate during the period.
Stocks retreated, then rebounded
Against a weakening economic backdrop, the U.S. stock market lost 6.91% for the 12-month period, as measured by the S&P 500 Index. 2 Losses affected the stocks of companies of all sizes and investment style categories, as measured by their respective Russell indices.3 Stock markets outside the U.S. were modestly to significantly higher. The MSCI EAFE Index,4 a broad gauge of stock market performance in foreign developed markets, gained 3.23% (in U.S. dollars) for the period. Emerging stock markets were also caught in the downdraft, but bounced back stronger than domestic or developed world markets in 2009. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index5 returned 19.07% (in U.S. dollars).

Economic Update (continued) – Columbia Dividend Income Fund
Bonds outperformed domestic stocks
As investors sought refuge from a volatile stock market, the highest-quality sectors of the U.S. bond market delivered solid gains. During the first half of the period, Treasury prices rose and yields declined sharply as the economy faltered and stock market volatility increased. As hopes for a recovery materialized in the second half of the period, yields rose and Treasuries lagged riskier segments of the bond market. The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield began the period at 3.8%, declined to 2.2% in December 2008, then rose to end the period at 3.3%. In this environment, the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index6 returned 10.56%. High-yield bond prices fell sharply in 2008 as economic prospects weakened and default fears rose, then rebounded strongly in 2009. For the 12-month period, the JPMorgan Developed BB High Yield Index7 returned 16.36%.

The “with sales charge” returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% for Class A and Class T shares and 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 R shares are sold at net asset value with distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees. Class R and Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Please see the fund’s prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.
The tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.
Class A, Class B, Class C, Class T and Class Z share performance information includes returns of Retail A shares (for Class A and Class T shares), Retail B shares (for Class B and Class C shares) and Trust shares (for Class Z shares) of Galaxy Strategic Equity Fund, the predecessor to the Fund and a series of the Galaxy Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”), for periods prior to November 25, 2002, the date on which Class A, Class B, Class C, Class T and Class Z shares were initially offered by the Fund. Class R share performance information includes returns of Class A shares for the period from November 25, 2002 through March 27, 2008, and the returns of Retail A shares for periods prior thereto. These returns shown for all share classes reflect any differences in sales charges, but have not been restated to reflect any differences in expenses between the Predecessor Fund share classes (and, in the case of Class R shares, Class A shares) and the corresponding newer share classes. If differences in expenses had been reflected, the returns shown for periods prior to November 25, 2002 would be lower for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class T and Class Z shares, and the returns shown for periods prior to March 28, 2008 would be lower for Class R shares.

| n | | 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. | |
| n | | For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary firm 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.

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 365.
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.

For the 12-month period that ended September 30, 2009, the fund’s Class A shares returned negative 4.33% without sales charge. The fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index, returned negative 6.14% for the same period. The average return of the fund’s peer group, the Lipper Equity Income Funds Classification, was negative 6.42%. Although the fund’s dividend distribution declined by 13%, from $0.31 to $0.27, it fared better than the market overall. Many firms cut or eliminated their dividends, and the fund’s return on cash holdings fell to near zero. However, we believe that the fund’s dividend has the potential to stabilize and improve next year.
Signs that the recession was at an end became more convincing over the past few months. Investors responded energetically, moving assets from more secure investments into equities. Markets rose sharply from low points reached in March and continued to rise over the summer. Government programs and historically low interest rates fed waves of liquidity into the financial system, shoring up bank reserves and rebuilding confidence. Consumers, who make up the bulk of U.S. economic activity, gradually began to loosen their purse strings, offering hope that a recovery could be sustained.
The fund’s relative performance benefited early in the period because high-quality stocks with good dividends tend to be more resilient in falling markets. But during the subsequent rally, these better-quality issues lagged. Companies carrying Standard & Poor’s ratings of B+ and higher trailed those rated B and below.
Health care and energy led performance
Takeovers in the pharmaceutical sector drove health care results. Schering-Plough surged when it was announced that a major competitor would acquire the company, and Wyeth’s shares rose in response to Pfizer’s takeover bid. In energy, the fund’s focus on integrated oil companies buffered the portfolio when oil prices declined. We later used low valuations to add exploration and development companies EnCana and Murphy Oil and were rewarded when oil rebounded. Being underweight in the weak industrial sector also aided relative performance.
Financials and materials disappointed
The financial sector detracted from the fund’s relative performance. Insurers Principal Financial Group, Lincoln National and Hartford Group fell when a credit crisis slashed the values of their portfolios. All three securities were sold. However, mutual fund managers Eaton Vance and T. Rowe Price moved up with the recovering markets. In materials, Dow Chemical fell when Kuwait reneged on an agreement to purchase certain Dow assets; we eliminated the fund’s Dow holdings. Timely purchases of miner BHP Billiton, steelmaker Nucor and Allegheny Technologies, maker of specialty metals, helped offset declines elsewhere in the portfolio.
Looking ahead
We believe that the economy has the potential to continue improving. Furthermore, a huge pool of available capital may provide support for stock prices and liquidity for the economy over the next few quarters. Businesses are leaner and many, including autos and semiconductors, have slashed inventories, implying a need to expand production

as demand improves. Retail inventories are also very lean. Government stimulus packages will run out early next year, and it remains to be seen whether the economy can move ahead on its own steam. Also, several tax cuts are due to expire at the end of 2010, and calls for new taxes may forestall a meaningful recovery.
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 those presented for other Columbia Funds.
Equity securities are affected by stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments.
Value stocks are securities of companies that may have experienced adverse business or industry developments or may be subject to special risks that have caused the stocks to be out of favor. The market value of a portfolio security may not meet the manager’s future value assessment of such security, or may decline.
Dividend payments by an issuer are not guaranteed, and are paid only when declared by an issuer’s board of directors. The amount of a dividend payment, if any, can vary over time.

Notes to Financial Statements – Columbia Dividend Income Fund
September 30, 2009
Note 1. Organization
Columbia Dividend Income Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the “Trust”), is a diversified portfolio. The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks total return, consisting of current income and capital appreciation.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and the Fund offers six classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class T and Class Z. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable. Effective June 22, 2009, the Fund no longer accepts investments from new or existing investors in the Fund’s Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Fund, and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of other Columbia Funds.
Class A and Class T shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% 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 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares sold within one year after purchase. Class R and Class Z shares are offered continuously at net asset value. There are certain restrictions on the purchase of Class R and Class Z shares, as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through November 20, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued, and except as disclosed in Note 13, noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosures.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Equity securities are valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the closing bid price on such exchanges or over-the-counter markets.
Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. If a security is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security. The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine value.
Management establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
n | | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
23
Columbia Dividend Income Fund
September 30, 2009
n | | Level 2 — prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others) |
n | | Level 3 — prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment. |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
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.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that Columbia Management Advisors, LLC (“Columbia”), the Fund’s investment advisor, has determined are creditworthy. The Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Columbia is responsible for determining that the collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays in or restrictions on the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded on the ex-date.
Distributions received from real estate investment trusts (REITs) in excess of their income are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the related investments. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, any distributions received in excess of income are recorded as realized gains.
Awards from class action litigation are recorded as a reduction of cost if the Fund still owns the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other series of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, as shown on the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.
Federal Income Tax Status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its tax exempt or taxable income, if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and
24
Columbia Dividend Income Fund
September 30, 2009
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 September 30, 2009, permanent book and tax basis differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for proceeds from litigation settlements, expired capital loss carryforwards and adjustments on certain convertible preferred 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 |
$809,878 | | $(44,593) | | $(765,285) |
Net investment income and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed on the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 was as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | September 30, 2009 | | September 30, 2008 |
Ordinary Income* | | $ | 37,374,271 | | $ | 26,591,941 |
Long-Term Capital Gains | | | — | | | 11,876,095 |
* | For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions. |
As of September 30, 2009, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
| | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term
Capital Gains | | Net Unrealized Appreciation* |
$1,510,671 | | $— | | $122,396,728 |
* | The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation are primarily due to deferral of losses from wash sales. |
Unrealized appreciation and depreciation at September 30, 2009, based on cost of investments for federal income tax purposes were:
| | | | |
| | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 222,725,685 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (100,328,957 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 122,396,728 | |
The following capital loss carryforwards, determined as of September 30, 2009, 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 | | Capital Loss Carryforward |
2010 | | $ | 74,425,965 |
2011 | | | 1,266,110 |
2013 | | | 990,327 |
2014 | | | 2,808,003 |
2017 | | | 65,052,409 |
| | | |
Total | | $ | 144,542,814 |
Of the capital loss carryforwards attributable to the Fund, $79,490,405 ($74,425,965 of which expires on September 30, 2010, $1,266,110 of which expires on September 30, 2011, $990,327 of which expires on September 30, 2013, and $2,808,003 of which expires on September 30, 2014) was acquired from fund mergers. The availability of a portion of the remaining capital loss carryforwards acquired as part of a fund merger may be limited in a given year.
Capital loss carryforwards of $34,704 expired during the year ended September 30, 2009. Expired capital loss carryforwards are recorded as a reduction of paid-in capital.
Under current tax rules, certain currency and capital losses realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as

occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. As of September 30, 2009, post-October capital losses of $70,043,080 attributed to security transactions were deferred to October 1, 2009.
Management is required 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 by the Fund is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management 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. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, 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.
Note 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates
Investment Advisory Fee
Columbia, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation (“BOA”) provides investment advisory services to the Fund. In rendering investment advisory services to the Fund, Columbia may use the portfolio management and research resources of Columbia Management Pte. Ltd., an affiliate of Columbia. Columbia receives a monthly investment advisory fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets at the following annual rates:
| | |
| | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Annual Fee Rate |
First $500 million | | 0.70% |
$500 million to $1 billion | | 0.65% |

The transaction (“Transaction”) includes a sale of the part of the asset management business that advises long-term mutual funds, including the Fund. The Transaction is subject to certain approvals and other conditions to closing, and is currently expected to close in the spring of 2010.
Administration Fee
Columbia provides administrative and other services to the Fund for a monthly administration fee at the annual rate of 0.067% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

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.

The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). The Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges.
The Fund has entered into a Pricing and Bookkeeping Oversight and Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Columbia. Under the Services Agreement, Columbia provides services related to Fund expenses and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and provides oversight of the accounting and financial reporting services provided by State Street.

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, Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”) trustee agent fees and account transcript fees due to the Transfer Agent from shareholders of the Fund and credits (net of bank charges) earned with respect to balances in accounts the Transfer Agent maintains in connection with its services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent also receives reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses.
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Fund’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. For the year ended September 30, 2009, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.
Underwriting Discounts, Service and Distribution Fees
Columbia Management Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of Columbia and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BOA, is the principal underwriter of the Fund’s shares. For the year ended September 30, 2009, the Distributor has retained net underwriting discounts of $124,635 and $930 on sales of the Fund’s Class A and Class T shares, respectively. For the same period, the Distributor received net CDSC fees of $687, $39,378 and $5,857 on Class A, Class B and Class C share redemptions, respectively.
The Fund has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “Plans”) which requires the payment of monthly distribution and service fees to the Distributor based on the average daily net assets of the applicable class of the Fund at the following annual rates:
| | | | | | |
Distribution Fee |
Class A | | Class B | | Class C | | Class R |
0.10% | | 0.75% | | 0.75% | | 0.50% |
| | | | |
Service Fee |
Class A | | Class B | | Class C |
0.25% | | 0.25% | | 0.25% |
The Fund may pay distribution and service fees up to a maximum annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares (comprised of up to 0.10% for distribution services and up to 0.25% for shareholder services), but limited such fees to an aggregate of not more than 0.25% for Class A shares during the current fiscal year. For the year ended September 30, 2009, the distribution and service fees were 0.00% and 0.25%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
The CDSC and the distribution fees received from the Plans are used principally as repayment to the Distributor for amounts paid by the Distributor to dealers who sold such shares.
Shareholder Services Fees
The Fund has adopted a shareholder services plan that permits it to pay for certain services provided to Class T shareholders by service organizations. The Fund may pay shareholder services fees (which are included in other expenses) of up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares for shareholder liaison services and up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares for administrative support services, provided, however, that the aggregate fee shall not exceed 0.30% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares. For the year ended September 30, 2009, the shareholder services fee was 0.30% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares.

Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements
Effective February 1, 2009, Columbia has voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of the Fund’s expenses so that the Fund’s ordinary operating expenses (excluding any distribution and service fees, brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any), after giving effect to any balance credits from the Fund’s custodian, do not exceed 0.80% of the Fund’s average daily net assets on an annualized basis. Columbia, in its discretion, may revise or discontinue this arrangement at any time. Prior to February 1, 2009, Columbia reimbursed a portion of the Fund’s expenses at the same fee rate, on a contractual basis.
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All officers of the Fund are employees of Columbia or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund. The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer. The Fund’s expenses for the Chief Compliance Officer will not exceed $15,000 per year.
The 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.
Other Related Party Transactions
In connection with the purchase and sale of its securities during the period, the Fund used one or more brokers that are affiliates of BOA. Total brokerage commissions paid to affiliated brokers for the year ended September 30, 2009 were $11,520.
Note 5. Custody Credits
The Fund has an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may be reduced by balance credits. These credits are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. The Fund could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if it had not entered into such an agreement.
For the year ended September 30, 2009, these custody credits reduced total expenses by $143 for the Fund.
Note 6. Portfolio Information
For the year ended September 30, 2009, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, for the Fund were $929,376,679 and $276,378,634, respectively.
Note 7. Regulatory Settlements
As of September 30, 2009, the Fund had received payments of $665,701 relating to certain regulatory settlements with third parties that the Fund had participated in during the year. The payments have been included in “Increase from regulatory settlements” on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.
Note 8. Line of Credit
The Fund and other affiliated funds participate in a $280,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit provided by State Street. 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% or 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
28
Columbia Dividend Income Fund
September 30, 2009
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 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 September 30, 2009, the Fund did not borrow under these arrangements.
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 risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral.
Note 10. Shares of Beneficial Interest
As of September 30, 2009, 45.4% of the Fund’s shares outstanding were beneficially owned by one participant account over which BOA and/or any of its affiliates had either sole or joint investment discretion. On that date, no other shareholder owned more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.
As of September 30, 2009, the Fund had one shareholder that held 9.1% of the shares outstanding, over which BOA and/or any of its affiliates did not have investment discretion. On that date, no other shareholder owned more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.
Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 11. Significant Risks and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
Columbia Management Advisors, LLC and Columbia Management Distributors, Inc. (collectively, the “Columbia Group”) are subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General (“NYAG”) (the “NYAG Settlement”) and a settlement order with the SEC (the “SEC Order”) on matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the Columbia Group (or predecessor entities) agreed, among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money penalties collectively totaling $140 million; 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; and retain an independent consultant to review the Columbia Group’s applicable supervisory, compliance, control and other policies and procedures. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires Columbia Management Advisors, LLC and its affiliates to reduce management fees for certain funds in the Columbia family of mutual funds in a projected total of $160 million over five years through November 30, 2009 and to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the Columbia Group providing services to the Columbia Funds, the Columbia Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of their boards of trustees and certain special consulting and compliance measures.
Pursuant to the SEC Order and related procedures, the $140 million in settlement amounts described above has been substantially distributed in accordance with a distribution plan that was developed by an independent distribution consultant and approved by the SEC on April 6, 2007.
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
29
Columbia Dividend Income Fund
September 30, 2009
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 Management Advisors, Inc. (which has since merged into Banc of America Capital Management, LLC (now named Columbia Management Advisors, LLC)) (“Columbia”), Columbia Funds Distributor, Inc. (now named Columbia Management Distributors, Inc.) (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.
Note 12. Business Combinations and Mergers
Effective March 28, 2008, Equity Income Fund, a series of Excelsior Funds Trust, merged into Columbia Dividend Income Fund. Columbia Dividend Income Fund received a tax-free transfer of assets from Equity Income Fund as follows:
| | | | |

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

$1,020,836,297 | | $168,959,491 | | $1,189,795,788 |
Note 13. Subsequent Events
On October 15, 2009, the committed line of credit discussed in Note 8 was renewed on amended terms. Pursuant to the amended terms, 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 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds pro rata based on their relative net assets. The annual operations agency fee of $20,000 was waived.
Effective November 1, 2009, the annual rate the Transfer Agent receives for the services discussed in Note 4 will change to $22.36 per open account.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and the Shareholders of Columbia Dividend Income Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Columbia Dividend Income Fund (the “Fund”) (a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I) at September 30, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

President’s Message

Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to provide this shareholder report detailing your fund’s performance, portfolio holdings and financial statements. We hope this information is helpful in monitoring your investments as we work through these challenging economic times. We recognize that you have entrusted us with your money and want you to know that our professional investment teams work to interpret the latest economic and market trends with the goal of optimizing portfolio construction for our clients.
The first half of 2009 was defined by extremes. The multiyear lows we witnessed in the early months gave way to a stunning rally for the U.S. financial markets in the spring. A global market rebound may be underway, thanks to the massive fiscal and aggressive monetary policies of governments around the world. In the third quarter, the S&P 500 Index1 was up 15.61%. We believe this challenging economic environment makes it even more important to work with professional money managers while continuing to invest for life events like retirement, college planning, home improvements and career changes.
Retirement income planning has become an increasingly significant focus in the lives of millions of Americans. Recent economic conditions make it even more important to manage short-term obligations such as mortgages, monthly bills and credit card debt while also taking the steps necessary to prepare for or maximize retirement benefits. Better nutrition and medical services can result in U.S. citizens living longer, healthier lives. This means the risk of outliving one’s assets in retirement is very real without proper planning. Financial security and retirement planning is an ongoing process that requires active management of your savings, investments and risks. We encourage you to review your retirement plan regularly so you’ll be better able to meet your retirement needs in the future.
We recognize that economic uncertainty creates great challenges for many investors. Our professional investment teams work diligently to help investors navigate through difficult markets. Thank you for your business and for the opportunity to work together towards your investment goals.
Sincerely,

J. Kevin Connaughton
President, Columbia Funds

During the 12-month period that began October 1, 2008 and ended September 30, 2009, the U.S. economy faced the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, then steadied itself as steps taken by a new administration began to show results in the second half of the period. Economic growth, as measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP), contracted by approximately 6% between October 2008 and March 2009. The lapse from growth resulted in the longest – and most severe – recession in nearly three decades. However, growth turned positive in the third quarter ended September 30, 2009. The initial estimate of third quarter GDP was 3.5%.
The labor market shed more than seven million jobs between 2008 and 2009, raising the unemployment rate to 9.8% and wiping out all of the jobs gained since the last recession. Manufacturing activity slowed through most of the period, but it turned up in July and August, as did consumer spending. The beleaguered housing market showed some signs of stabilizing. Pending home sales, a leading indicator of housing activity increased for eight straight months to end the period, buoyed by low interest rates and an $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit. Existing home sales rose, but gave back some of their strong gains late in the period. The inventory of unsold houses also fell sharply over the period. Late in 2008, consumer confidence, as measured by the Conference Board1, plummeted to its lowest point ever. However, it has since stabilized and turned higher near the end of the period.
Troubles that began in the U.S. subprime mortgage market resulted in a meltdown within the U.S. financial sector that claimed several major institutions in 2008 and led others to seek bailouts, restructuring or both. New rigorous lending standards severely limited access to credit, further hampering economic growth. In this environment, a new administration sought to stabilize the financial system, address economic woes and introduce sweeping health care reform. Stimulus spending began to flow into the economy, raising hopes that growth would be restored. In December 2008, the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) lowered a key short-term borrowing rate — the federal funds rate — to between zero and 0.25% — a record low. In light of protracted economic weakness and virtually no inflation, the Fed made no further change to the federal funds rate during the period.
Stocks retreated, then rebounded
Against a weakening economic backdrop, the U.S. stock market lost 6.91% for the 12-month period, as measured by the S&P 500® Index.2 Losses affected the stocks of companies of all sizes and investment style categories, as measured by their respective Russell indices.3 Stock markets outside the U.S. were modestly to significantly higher. The MSCI EAFE Index,4 a broad gauge of stock market performance in foreign developed markets, gained 3.23% (in U.S. dollars) for the period. Emerging stock markets were also caught in the downdraft, but bounced back stronger than domestic or developed world markets in 2009. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index5 returned 19.07% (in U.S. dollars).

Economic Update (continued) – Columbia Liberty Fund
Bonds outperformed domestic stocks
As investors sought refuge from a volatile stock market, the highest-quality sectors of the U.S. bond market delivered solid gains. During the first half of the period, Treasury prices rose and yields declined sharply as the economy faltered and stock market volatility increased. As hopes for a recovery materialized in the second half of the period, yields rose and Treasuries lagged riskier segments of the bond market. The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield began the period at 3.8%, declined to 2.2% in December 2008, then rose to end the period at 3.3%. In this environment, the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index6 returned 10.56%. High-yield bond prices fell sharply in 2008 as economic prospects weakened and default fears rose, then rebounded strongly in 2009. For the 12-month period, the JPMorgan Developed BB High Yield Index7 returned 16.36%.

Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Please see the fund’s prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.
The tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Liberty Fund
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:
| n | | 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. | |
| n | | 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.

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 365.
It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

For the 12-month period that ended September 30, 2009, the fund’s Class A shares returned 1.07% without sales charge. The fund’s equity benchmark, the S&P 500 Index1, returned negative 6.91% and the fund’s fixed-income benchmark, the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index2 returned 10.56%. The fund outperformed its peer group, the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds Classification, which averaged a return of 0.73%. Performance benefited from our decision to shift from a slight overweight in equities to a slight overweight in fixed income. In addition, the fund’s fixed-income holdings outperformed the Barclays index.
Stock and bond markets turned around
The investment market rout that began in the fall of 2008 continued into March 2009, driven by deteriorating global economic data, concerns over the strength of large financial company balance sheets, frozen credit markets, a weak housing market and rising unemployment. In March, stocks finally staged a sharp turnaround, buoyed by hopes that an economic recovery would be fueled by unprecedented fiscal and monetary stimulus. Bonds also rallied, benefiting from historically low interest rates and a growing sense of confidence among investors. Higher-risk sectors, including emerging-markets stocks and high-yield bonds, led the rebound, but investment-grade corporate bonds also did well. U.S. Treasuries ended the period behind most other bond sectors. Fixed-income returns for the period were quite strong, while equities — despite recouping a large part of their previous losses — still remained in negative territory.
Strength from corporate bond sector
During the period, we increased the fund’s allocation to fixed income, which worked well as bonds ended the period with much stronger returns than stocks. By period end, about 41% of the fund’s assets were in bonds, compared to 36% at the start of the period. We remained focused on investment-grade corporate bonds, whose prices climbed as the economic outlook improved and investors gained more confidence in issuer balance sheets.
Reduced stake in large-cap stocks
Over the period, we trimmed the fund’s stake in stocks to about 46% of assets at period end. Our focus was on large-cap stocks, which held up well relative to their smaller-cap counterparts. The fund’s holdings were equally divided between the value and growth disciplines. Within the large cap sector, growth stocks — which investors buy because of their strong potential for earnings growth — did much better than value stocks, which attract investors because their prices are cheap relative to their earnings. The fund’s position in large-cap growth stocks lost slightly more than its equity benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index.3 However, the fund’s large-cap value holdings held up better than the Russell 1000 Value Index.4 Approximately 10% of assets were invested in overseas developed markets, which outperformed U.S. stocks with a small net gain for the year, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index.5 However, the fund’s overseas holdings lagged the MSCI index and posted a modest loss for the 12-month period.

Shift back toward equities
At period end, the debate continued as to how long the current market rally would last. What happens going forward will depend largely on the strength and sustainability of the economic recovery. While economic data has continued to improve, unemployment levels have remained elevated. With the possibility of rising interest rates, we decided late in the period to begin reducing fund’s fixed income holdings, particularly cash, and investing the proceeds in both large-cap U.S. and developed market overseas stocks.
Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change periodically and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for the fund may differ from that presented for other Columbia Funds.
Equity securities are affected by stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments.
Investing in fixed-income securities may involve certain risks, including the credit quality of individual issuers, possible prepayments, market or economic developments and yield and share price fluctuations due to changes in interest rates. When interest rates go up, bond prices typically drop, and vice versa.
International investing may involve certain risks, including currency fluctuations, risks associated with possible differences in financial accounting standards and other monetary and political risks. Significant levels of foreign taxes, including potentially confiscatory levels of taxation and withholding taxes, may also apply to some foreign investments.

Notes to Financial Statements – Columbia Liberty Fund
September 30, 2009
Note 1. Organization
Columbia Liberty Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the “Trust”), is a diversified portfolio. The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks total return, consisting of current income and long-term capital appreciation.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and the Fund offers four classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable. Effective June 22, 2009, the Fund no longer accepts investments in Class B shares from new or existing investors in the Fund’s Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Fund, and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of other Columbia Funds.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% based on the amount of initial investment. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) 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. Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through November 20, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued, and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosures except as disclosed in Note 13.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation.
Certain debt securities, which tend to be more thinly traded and of lesser quality, are priced based on fundamental analysis of the financial condition of the issuer and the estimated value of any collateral. Valuations developed through pricing techniques may vary from the actual amounts realized upon sale of the securities, and the potential variation may be greater for those securities valued using fundamental analysis.
Equity securities are valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the closing bid price on such exchanges or over-the-counter markets.
Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
28
Columbia Liberty Fund
September 30, 2009
Foreign securities are generally valued at the last sale price on the foreign exchange or market on which they trade. If any foreign share prices are not readily available as a result of limited share activity, the securities are valued at the last sale price of the local shares in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded.
Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund’s shares are determined as of such times. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 4:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such foreign securities and such exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE, which would not be reflected in the computation of the Fund’s net asset value. If events materially affecting the values of such foreign securities occur and it is determined that market quotations are not reliable, then these foreign securities will be valued at their fair value using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.
The Fund may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value securities principally traded in foreign markets in order to adjust for possible stale pricing that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time for valuation.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which 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. The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine value.
Management establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
n | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
n | | Level 2 – prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others) |
n | | Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment. |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
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.
Management is required to provide disclosures regarding the Fund’s derivative instruments and hedging activities, by providing 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 derivative contracts. For additional information on derivative instruments, please see Note 6.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that Columbia Management Advisors, LLC (“Columbia”), the Fund’s investment advisor, has determined are creditworthy. The Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Columbia is responsible for determining that the collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of
29
Columbia Liberty Fund
September 30, 2009
the counterparty. These risks include possible delays in or restrictions on the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Treasury Inflation Protected Securities
The Fund may invest in treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”). The principal amount of TIPS is adjusted periodically and is increased for inflation or decreased for deflation based on a monthly published index. Interest payments are based on the adjusted principal at the time the interest is paid. These adjustments are recorded as interest income on the Statement of Operations.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations
The values of all assets and liabilities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at that day’s exchange rates. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions and translations include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes.
For financial statement purposes, the Fund does not distinguish that portion of gains (losses) on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments on the Statement of Operations.
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded on the ex-date except for certain foreign securities which are recorded as soon after the ex-date as the Fund becomes aware of such, net of any non-reclaimable tax withholdings.
Distributions received from real estate investment trusts (REITs) in excess of their income are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the related investments. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, any distributions received in excess of income are recorded as realized gains.
Awards from class action litigation are recorded as a reduction of cost if the Fund still owns the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains.
The value of additional securities received as an income payment is recorded as income and as the cost basis of such securities.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund 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 the Fund are charged to the Fund.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, as shown on the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.
Federal Income Tax Status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its 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 provision is made for federal income or excise taxes.
Foreign Capital Gains Taxes
Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the fund level, at rates ranging from approximately 10% to 15%. The Fund accrues for such foreign taxes on net realized and unrealized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction.
30
Columbia Liberty Fund
September 30, 2009
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because this would involve future claims against the Fund. Also, under the Trust’s organizational documents and by contract, the Trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of actions relating to their duties to the Trust. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these representations, warranties and indemnities to be minimal.
Note 3. Federal Tax Information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under income tax regulations.
For the year ended September 30, 2009, permanent book and tax basis differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for paydown reclassifications, Treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS), Section 988 currency gain/loss, 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 |
$465,063 | | $(465,060) | | $(3) |
Net investment income and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed on the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 was as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | September 30, 2009 | | September 30, 2008 |
Distributions paid from: |
Ordinary Income* | | $ | 8,283,253 | | $ | 30,729,193 |
Long-Term Capital Gains | | | — | | | 36,379,034 |
* | For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions. |
As of September 30, 2009, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
| | | | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-term Capital Gains | | Net Unrealized Depreciation* |
$553,078 | | $— | | $32,827,825 |
* | The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are primarily due to deferral of losses from wash sales and discount accretion/premium amortization adjustments. |
Unrealized appreciation and depreciation at September 30, 2009, based on cost of investments for federal income tax purposes and excluding any unrealized appreciation and depreciation from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates were:
| | | | |
| | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 42,456,915 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (9,629,090 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | | $ | 32,827,825 | |
The following capital loss carryforwards 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 | | Capital Loss Carryforward |
2017 | | $25,018,329 |
Under current tax rules, certain currency and capital losses realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. As of September 30, 2009, post-October capital losses of $53,219,110 attributed to security transactions were deferred to October 1, 2009.

Columbia Liberty Fund
September 30, 2009
Management is required 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 by the Fund is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management 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. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, 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 transaction (“Transaction”) includes a sale of the part of the asset management business that advises long-term mutual funds, including the Fund. The Transaction is subject to certain approvals and other conditions to closing, and is currently expected to close in the spring of 2010.
Sub-Advisory Fee
Nordea Investment Management North America, Inc. (“NIMNAI”) has been retained by Columbia to serve as the investment sub-advisor and to manage a portion of the Fund’s assets. As the sub-advisor, and subject to the oversight of Columbia and the Fund’s Board of Trustees, NIMNAI is responsible for daily investment operations, including placing all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for foreign stocks of the Fund. Columbia, from the investment advisory fee it receives, pays NIMNAI a monthly sub-advisory fee.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
The Fund has entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the “Financial Reporting Services Agreement”) with State Street Bank & Trust Company (“State Street”) and Columbia pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. The Fund has also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the “State Street Agreements”) with State Street and Columbia pursuant to which State Street provides accounting services to the Fund. Under the State Street Agreements, the Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly plus an additional monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of average daily net assets of the Fund for the month. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). The Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges.
The Fund has entered into a Pricing and Bookkeeping Oversight and Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Columbia. Under the Services Agreement, Columbia provides services related to Fund expenses and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and provides oversight of the accounting and financial reporting services provided by State Street.

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, Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”) trustee agent fees and account transcript fees due to the Transfer Agent from shareholders of the Fund and credits (net of bank charges) earned with respect to balances in accounts the Transfer Agent maintains in connection with its services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent also receives reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses.
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Fund’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. For the year ended September 30, 2009, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.
Underwriting Discounts, Service and Distribution Fees
Columbia Management Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of Columbia and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BOA, is the principal underwriter of the Fund’s shares. For the year ended September 30, 2009, the Distributor has retained net underwriting discounts of $9,346 on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares and received net CDSC fees of $141, $15,401 and $336 on Class A, Class B and Class C share redemptions, respectively.
The Fund has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “Plans”) for Class A, Class B and Class C shares, which require the payment of a monthly service fee to the Distributor. The annual service fee portion of the Plans may equal up to 0.15% of the net assets attributable to shares issued prior to April 1, 1989 and 0.25% on net assets attributable to shares issued thereafter. This arrangement results in a rate of service fee for all shares that is a blend between the 0.15% and 0.25% annual rates. For the year ended September 30, 2009, the Class A, Class B and Class C shares’ effective service fee rate was 0.24%.
The Plans also require the payment of a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor at the annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares only.
The CDSC and the distribution fees received from the Plans are used principally as repayment to the Distributor for amounts paid by the Distributor to dealers who sold such shares.
Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements
Effective January 1, 2009, Columbia has voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of the Fund’s expenses so that the Fund’s ordinary operating expenses (excluding any distribution and service fees, brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any), after giving effect to any balance credits from the Fund’s custodian, do not exceed 0.95% of the Fund’s average daily net assets on an annualized basis. Columbia, in its discretion, may revise or discontinue this arrangement at any time.
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All officers of the Fund are employees of Columbia or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund. The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer. The Fund’s expenses for the Chief Compliance Officer will not exceed $15,000 per year.
The 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.

Other Related Party Transactions
In connection with the purchase and sale of its securities during the period, the Fund used one or more brokers that are affiliates of BOA. Total brokerage commissions paid to affiliated brokers for the year ended September 30, 2009 were $2,550.
Note 5. Custody Credits
The Fund has an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may be reduced by balance credits. These credits are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. The Fund could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if it had not entered into such an agreement.
For the year ended September 30, 2009, these custody credits reduced total expenses by $210 for the Fund.
Note 6. Objectives and Strategies for Investing in Derivative Instruments
The Fund uses derivative instruments including futures contracts in order to meet its investment objectives. The Fund employs strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease or change the level of exposure to market risk factors. The achievement of any strategy relating to derivatives depends on analysis of various risk factors, and if the strategies for use of derivatives do not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its investment objectives.
In pursuit of its investment objectives, the Fund is exposed to the following market risks:
Equity Risk: Equity risk relates to changes in value of equity securities such as common stocks due to general market conditions such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, or adverse investor sentiment. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities.
Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk relates to the fluctuation in value of fixed income securities because of the inverse relationship of price and yield. Fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in general interest rates and their value will increase because of a decline in general interest rates. Fixed income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations.
The following note provides more detailed information about each derivative type held by the Fund:
Futures Contracts — The Fund entered into U.S. Treasury Note futures contracts to manage the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund versus the benchmark and equity index futures contracts to equitize cash in order to maintain appropriate equity market exposure while keeping sufficient cash to accommodate daily redemptions.
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. 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.
Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The following table is a summary of the value of the Fund’s derivative instruments as of September 30, 2009.

Note 7. Portfolio Information
For the year ended September 30, 2009, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, for the Fund were $347,495,133 and $384,028,232, respectively, of which $64,702,391 and $70,785,777, respectively, were U.S. Government securities.
Note 8. Line of Credit
The Fund and other affiliated funds participate in a $280,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit provided by State Street. 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% or 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 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 September 30, 2009, the Fund did not borrow under these arrangements.
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 risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral.
Note 10. Shares of Beneficial Interest
As of September 30, 2009, 15.5% of the Fund’s shares outstanding were beneficially owned by one participant account over which BOA and/or any of its affiliates had either sole or joint investment discretion. On that date, no other shareholder owned more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.
Subscription and redemption activity of this account may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.

Note 11. Other
During the year ended September 30, 2009, the Fund purchased shares of Ryanair in violation of European Union investment restrictions and experienced a realized loss of $7,944. The Sub-Advisor of the Fund will reimburse the Fund for the loss.
Note 12. Significant Risks and Contingencies
Asset-Backed Securities Risk
The value of asset-backed securities may be affected by, among other factors, changes in interest rates, the market’s assessment of the quality of underlying assets, the creditworthiness of the servicer for the underlying assets, factors concerning the interests in and structure of the issuer or the originator of the underlying assets, or the creditworthiness or rating of the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds, derivative instruments, or other credit enhancement. The value of asset-backed securities also will be affected by the exhaustion, termination or expiration of any credit enhancement. Most asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is the possibility that the underlying debt may be refinanced or prepaid prior to maturity during periods of declining or low interest rates, causing the Fund to have to reinvest the money received in securities that have lower yields. In addition, the impact of prepayments on the value of asset-backed securities may be difficult to predict and may result in greater volatility.
Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk
The value of mortgage-backed securities may be affected by, among other things, changes in interest rates, factors concerning the interests in and structure of the issuer or the originator of the mortgages, the creditworthiness of the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds or other credit enhancements or the quality of underlying assets or the market’s assessment thereof. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is the possibility that the underlying mortgage may be refinanced or prepaid prior to maturity during periods of declining or low interest rates, causing the Funds to have to reinvest the money received in securities that have lower yields. In addition, the impact of prepayments on the value of mortgage-backed securities may be difficult to predict and may result in greater volatility.
Legal Proceedings
Columbia Management Advisors, LLC and Columbia Management Distributors, Inc. (collectively, the “Columbia Group”) are subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General (“NYAG”) (the “NYAG Settlement”) and a settlement order with the SEC (the “SEC Order”) on matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the Columbia Group (or predecessor entities) agreed, among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money penalties collectively totaling $140 million; 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; and retain an independent consultant to review the Columbia Group’s applicable supervisory, compliance, control and other policies and procedures. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires Columbia Management Advisors, LLC and its affiliates to reduce management fees for certain funds in the Columbia family of mutual funds in a projected total of $160 million over five years through November 30, 2009 and to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the Columbia Group providing services to the Columbia Funds, the Columbia Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of their boards of trustees and certain special consulting and compliance measures.
Pursuant to the SEC Order and related procedures, the $140 million in settlement amounts described above has been substantially distributed in accordance with a distribution plan that was developed by an independent distribution consultant and approved by the SEC on April 6, 2007.
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

Columbia Liberty Fund
September 30, 2009
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 Management Advisors, Inc. (which has since merged into Banc of America Capital Management, LLC (now named Columbia Management Advisors, LLC)) (“Columbia”), Columbia Funds Distributor, Inc. (now named Columbia Management Distributors, Inc.) (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.
Note 13. Subsequent Events
On October 15, 2009, the committed line of credit discussed in Note 8 was renewed on amended terms. Pursuant to the amended terms, 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 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds pro rata based on their relative net assets. The annual operations agency fee of $20,000 was waived.
Effective November 1, 2009, the annual rate the Transfer Agent receives for the services discussed in Note 4 will change to $22.36 per open account.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of the Columbia Funds Series Trust I and the Shareholders of Columbia Liberty Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Columbia Liberty Fund (the “Fund”) (a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I), at September 30, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The registrant’s Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the engagement of the registrant’s independent accountants to provide audit and non-audit services to the registrant and non-audit services to its investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with such investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant (“Adviser Affiliates”), if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant.
The Audit Committee has adop ted a Policy for Engagement of Independent Accountants for Audit and Non-Audit Services (“Policy”). The Policy sets forth the understanding of the Audit Committee regarding the engagement of the registrant’s independent accountants to provide (i) audit and permissible audit-related, tax and other services to the registrant (collectively “Fund Services”); (ii) non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment
adviser) and Adviser Affiliates, if the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of a Fund (collectively “Fund-related Adviser Services”); and (iii) certain other audit and non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) and Adviser Affiliates. Unless a type of service receives general pre-approval under the Policy, it requires specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the independent accountants. Pre-approval of non-audit services to the registrant, the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) and Adviser Affiliates may be waived provide d that the “de minimis” requirements set forth under paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X are met.
Under the Policy, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to any pre-designated member or members who are Independent Trustees/Directors. The member(s) to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next regular meeting. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities with respect to the pre-approval of services performed by the independent accountants may not be delegated to management.
The Policy requires the Fund Treasurer and/or Director of Board Administration to submit to the Audit Committee, on an annual basis, a schedule of the types of services that are subject to general pre-approval. The schedule(s) provide a description of each type of service that is subject to general pre-approval and, where possible, will provide estimated fee caps for each instance of providing each service. The Audit Committees will review and approve the types of services and review the projected fees for the next fiscal year and may add to, or subtract from, the list of general pre-approved services from time to time based on subsequent determinations. That approval acknowledges that the Audit Committee is in agreement with the specific types of services that the independent accountants will be permitted to perform.
The Fund Treasurer and/or Director of Board Administration shall report to the Audit Committee at each of its regular meetings regarding all Fund Services or Fund-related Adviser Services initiated since the last such report was rendered, including a general description of the services, actual billed and projected fees, and the means by which such Fund Services or Fund-related Adviser Services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
*****
(e)(2) The percentage of services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item approved pursuant to the “de minimis” exception under paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X during both fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 was zero.
(f) Not applicable.
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 are approximately as follows:
2009 | | 2008 | |
$ | 951,800 | | $ | 1,054,300 | |
| | | | | |
(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.
