President's Message

Dear Shareholders,
A stock market rally that commenced in the fourth quarter of 2011 continued into 2012 in the United States and around the world, as all major market regions generated double-digit returns for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. Volatility declined sharply as European debt fears quieted somewhat and sentiment improved. Returns in developed countries were buoyed by strong results in Germany, Belgium, Austria and the Nordic markets of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. Under the cloud of its own mounting debt problem, Spain was the only eurozone country to deliver a negative return during the three-month period. Solid economic growth and accommodative monetary policy helped boost gains in emerging markets. The rally in U.S. equities was largely driven by an expansion in "multiples"—an increase in stock prices relative to their earnings. By the end of the first quarter of 2012, stocks no longer appeared as cheap as they were late in 2011. Bonds lagged stocks during the first quarter as investors responded to signs of an improved environment with a greater appetite for risk.
Concerns around the health of the global economy were centered in news headlines focusing on Washington D.C., Europe, China and the Middle East. In the United States, economic indicators remained mixed but generally indicated support for slow, sustainable economic growth. European policymakers have made progress in containing the eurozone debt crisis, though they still have not solved the issue of long-term solvency. The European Central Bank has lowered interest rates and flooded the financial system with liquidity that may provide breathing space for companies to restructure their balance sheets. These massive infusions of liquidity may whet the appetite for risk from investors around the world. However, it has delayed a true reckoning with the European financial situation, as concerns about Spain and Portugal continue to cloud the outlook. These structural challenges that persist in the developed world, and slowing growth in emerging market economies, leave the global economy in a fragile state. Domestic demand, combined with slowing inflationary trends, has also helped to shore up emerging market economies. Joblessness remains low and monetary conditions remain easy.
Despite the challenges and surprises of 2011, we see pockets of strength—and as a result, attractive opportunities—both here and abroad for 2012. We hope to help you capitalize on these opportunities with various articles in our 2012 Perspectives, which is available via the Market Insights tab at columbiamanagement.com. This publication showcases the strong research capabilities and experienced investment teams of Columbia Management and offers a diverse array of investment ideas based on our five key themes for 2012.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Bond Fund
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your fund's expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated 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. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the Actual column. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund's actual return) and then applies the Fund's actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. 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 the period. See "Compare with other funds" below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
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 cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 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 only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Bond ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not the Fund itself and are divided into categories ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest), and are subject to change. The ratings shown are determined by using the middle rating of Moody's, S&P, and Fitch after dropping the highest and lowest available ratings. When a rating from only two agencies is available, the lower rating is used. When a rating from only one agency is available, that rating is used. When a bond is not rated by one of these agencies, it is designated as Not rated. Credit ratings are subjective to opinions and not statements of fact.
The Board of Trustees for Columbia Bond Fund has approved the change of the fund's fiscal year end from March 31 to April 30. As a result, this report covers the 13-month period since the last annual report. The next report you receive will be for the six-month period from May 1, 2012 through October 31, 2012.
For the 13-month period that ended April 30, 2012, the fund's Class A shares returned 8.51% without sales charge. The fund's benchmark, the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index, returned 8.91% for the same period. This performance shortfall can be accounted for by the fund's relatively short maturity profile during the period. Holding longer-term securities was rewarded as interest rates declined.
A shifting economic environment
During this period, the fixed-income markets behaved largely in accordance with investors' changing views about the strength of the economic recovery. Early in the period, when investors were optimistic that the U.S. economy had turned a corner, corporate bonds and other riskier fixed-income assets tended to outperform Treasury securities. This trend reversed itself sharply in August 2011, when the European sovereign crisis erupted and financial markets experienced a global selloff. Riskier assets enjoyed a recovery in the fourth quarter of 2011, but the dual threats of unemployment at home and structural risks in Europe have kept a lid on investor optimism.
Corporate and commercial mortgage-backed overweight added performance
Against this backdrop, the fund maintained an overweight position in corporate bonds and commercial mortgage-backed securities. While this overweight, on balance, aided the portfolio, the fund elected to reduce holdings somewhat in these sectors during the summer of 2011, preferring to increase exposure to low-coupon agency mortgages when the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) indicated a commitment to support that segment of the market. In addition, the yield advantage of corporate bonds versus Treasury securities had declined to the point where we felt that upside potential had been reduced, especially given the economic uncertainties created by the deteriorating situation in Europe. This move toward risk aversion made a positive contribution to the fund's relative performance.
Toward the end of 2011, the fund began to buy back corporates and other riskier assets, given their interim price declines, as well as an apparent improvement in European financials. The new corporate bond purchases emphasized the financial sector, which we felt came out of the market decline with a more attractive risk-reward profile than industrial bonds and other alternative sectors.
The portfolio maintained roughly this same asset allocation for the remainder of the period, with the total amount devoted to higher-risk assets not substantially different from where we began, but with a different composition. The fund's maturity profile was increased in the first quarter of 2012 after having been shorter than the index throughout the period. Given the trend toward lower rates (for example, yields on the 10-year bond dropped from 3.29% to 1.92% during the period), these short maturities hurt the fund's relative performance.

Portfolio Manager's Report (continued) – Columbia Bond Fund
Looking ahead
We plan to continue to monitor the fixed-income initiatives of the Fed in an effort to achieve the ideal asset mix. As the economic recovery continues to languish, we consider it increasingly likely that the central bank will initiate another round of quantitative easing—a program designed to increase the money supply at a time when the discount rate and other standard interest rate benchmarks are already close to zero. We would not be surprised to see such an effort emerge during the summer of 2012, when other forms of Fed stimulus will have reached their stated cutoff points. We also acknowledge the possibility that interest rates will go up, given the slight but measurable increase in inflation over the past year. Corporations have been reluctant to pass on higher costs to consumers during these difficult economic times, but at some point the cumulative effect of even a small amount of inflation could limit the Fed's ability to keep interest rates at historically low levels.
Portfolio characteristics and holdings are subject to change periodically and may not be representative of current characteristics and holdings. The outlook for the fund may differ from that presented for other Columbia Funds.
Investing in fixed-income securities may involve certain risks, including the credit quality of individual issuers, possible prepayments, market or economic developments and yields and share price fluctuations due to changes in interest rates. When interest rates go up, bond prices typically drop, and vice versa.

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund's assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability's fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.
• Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).
• Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment's fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.

Fair Value Measurements (continued) | |
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
Under the direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager's Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for carrying out the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager's organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are readily available, including recommendation of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third-party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.

The Fund does not hold any significant investments with unobservable inputs which are categorized as Level 3.
The Fund's assets assigned to the Level 3 category are valued utilizing the valuation technique deemed the most appropriate in the circumstances. Certain Mortgage Backed Securities classified as Level 3 are valued using the market approach. To determine fair value for these securities, management considered various factors which may have included, but were not limited to, estimated cash flows of the securities, observed yields on comparable securities, and the utilization of single market quotations from broker dealers.
Financial assets were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 as observable market inputs were utilized and management's determination that there was sufficient, reliable and observable market data to value these assets as of period end.
Transfers in and/or out of Level 3 are determined based on the fair value at the beginning of the period for security positions held throughout the period.

Notes to Financial Statements – Columbia Bond Fund
April 30, 2012
Note 1. Organization
Columbia Bond Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Fiscal Year End Change
During the period, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to April 30. Accordingly, this report includes activity for the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012 and the year ended March 31, 2012.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class R, Class T, Class W, Class Y and Class Z shares. All share classes have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75% based on the initial investment amount. 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 contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months of purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.
Class B shares may be 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. The Fund no longer accepts investments by 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 certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds.
Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within one year of purchase.
Class I shares are not subject to sales charges and are only available to the Columbia Family of Funds.
Class R shares are not subject to sales charges and are only available to qualifying institutional investors. Class R shares commenced operations on November 16, 2011.
Class T shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75% based on the investment amount. 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 contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months of purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase. Class T shares are available only to investors who received (and who have continuously held) Class T shares in connection with the merger of certain Galaxy Funds into various Columbia Funds (formerly named Liberty funds).
Class W shares are not subject to sales charges and are only available to investors purchasing through authorized investment programs managed by investment professionals, including discretionary managed account programs.
Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges and are only available to certain categories of investors which are subject to minimum initial investment requirements.
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges, and are only available to certain investors, as described in the Fund's prospectus.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Columbia Bond Fund, April 30, 2012
Security Valuation
Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board) 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 may also be valued based upon an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation.
Asset and mortgage-backed securities are generally valued by pricing services, which utilize pricing models that incorporate the securities' cash flow and loan performance data. These models also take into account available market data, including trades, market quotations, and benchmark yield curves for identical or similar securities. Factors used to identify similar securities may include, but are not limited to, issuer, collateral type, vintage, prepayment speeds, collateral performance, credit ratings, credit enhancement and expected life. Asset-backed securities for which quotations are readily available may also be valued based upon an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation.
Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of short-term securities originally purchased with maturities greater than 60 days is determined based on an amortized value to par upon reaching 60 days to maturity. Short-term securities maturing in more than 60 days from the valuation date are valued at the market price or approximate market value based on current interest rates.
Investments in other open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at net asset value.
Futures and options on futures contracts are valued based upon the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Swap transactions are valued through an independent pricing service or broker, or if neither is available, through an internal model based upon observable inputs.
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. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) 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.
Derivative Instruments
The Fund invests in certain derivative instruments as detailed below to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more other assets, such as securities, currencies, commodities or indices. Derivative instruments may be used to maintain cash reserves while maintaining exposure to certain other assets, to offset anticipated declines in values of investments, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligation under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market and the potential for market movements which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Fund and any counterparty are required to maintain an agreement that requires the Fund and that counterparty to monitor (on a daily basis) the net fair value of all derivatives entered into pursuant to the agreement between the Fund and such counterparty. If the net fair value of such derivatives between the Fund and that counterparty exceeds a certain threshold (as defined in the agreement), the Fund or the counterparty (as the case may be) is required to post cash and/or securities as collateral. Fair values of derivatives presented in the financial statements are not netted with the fair value of other derivatives or with any collateral amounts posted by the Fund or any counterparty.
Futures Contracts
Futures contracts represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts to manage the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund versus the
35
Columbia Bond Fund, April 30, 2012
benchmark. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks which may include interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.
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 (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are 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 in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Credit Default Swap Contracts
Credit default swap contracts are agreements in which one party pays fixed periodic payments to a counterparty in consideration for a guarantee from the counterparty to make a specific payment should a specified negative credit event(s) take place. The Fund entered into credit default swap contracts to increase or decrease its credit exposure to a single issuer of debt securities. Additionally, credit default swap contracts were used to hedge the Fund's exposure on a debt security that it owns or in lieu of selling such debt security.
As the purchaser of a credit default swap contract, the Fund purchases protection by paying a periodic interest rate on the notional amount to the counterparty. The interest amount is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as a realized loss upon payment. If a credit event as specified in the contract occurs, the Fund may have the option either to deliver the reference obligation to the seller in exchange for a cash payment of its par amount, or to receive a net cash settlement equal to the par amount less an agreed-upon value of the reference obligation as of the date of the credit event. The difference between the value of the obligation or cash delivered and the notional amount received will be recorded as a realized gain (loss).
As the seller of a credit default swap contract, the Fund sells protection to a buyer and will generally receive a periodic interest rate on the notional amount. The interest amount is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as a realized gain upon receipt of the payment. If a credit event as specified in the contract occurs, the Fund may either be required to accept the reference obligation from the buyer in exchange for a cash payment of its notional amount, or to pay the buyer a net cash settlement equal to the notional amount less an agreed-upon value of the reference obligation as of the date of the credit event. The difference between the value of the obligation or cash received and the notional amount paid will be recorded as a realized gain (loss). The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments the Fund could be required to make as the seller of protection under a credit default swap contract is equal to the notional amount of the reference obligation. Notional amounts of all credit default swap contracts outstanding for which the Fund is the seller of protection, if any, are disclosed in the Credit Default Swap Contracts Outstanding schedule following the Portfolio of Investments. These potential amounts may be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective reference obligations or premiums received upon entering into the agreement.
As a protection seller, the Fund bears the risk of loss from the credit events specified in the contract. Although specified events are contract specific, credit events are generally defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, or repudiation/moratorium. For credit default swap contracts on credit indices, quoted market prices and resulting market values serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the reference entity's credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the contract. Market values for credit default swap contracts in which the Fund is the seller of protection, if any, are disclosed in the Credit Default Swap Contracts Outstanding schedule following the Portfolio of Investments.
The notional amounts and market values of credit default swap contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Any premium paid or received by the Fund upon entering into a credit default swap contract is recorded as an asset or
36
Columbia Bond Fund, April 30, 2012
liability, respectively, and amortized daily as a component of realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. Credit default swap contracts are valued daily, and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the termination of the swap, at which time a realized gain (loss) is recorded.
Credit default swap contracts can involve greater risks than if a fund had invested in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to counterparty credit risk, leverage risk, hedging risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk. The Fund will enter into credit default swap transactions only with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness.
Effects of Derivative Transactions in the Financial Statements
The following tables are intended to provide additional information about the effect of derivatives on the financial statements of the Fund, including: the fair value of derivatives by risk category and the location of those fair values in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; the impact of derivative transactions on the Fund's operations over the period including realized gains or losses and unrealized gains or losses. The derivative schedules following the Portfolio of Investments present additional information regarding derivative instruments outstanding at April 30, 2012, if any.

Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that management has determined are creditworthy. The Fund, through the custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Management 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 a 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.
38
Columbia Bond Fund, April 30, 2012
Delayed Delivery Securities
The 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 Fund to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. The Fund designates cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.
Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions
The Fund may enter into mortgage "dollar rolls" in which the Fund sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts with the same counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon and maturity) but not identical securities on a specified future date not exceeding 120 days. During the roll period, the Fund loses the right to receive principal and interest paid on the securities sold. However, the Fund will benefit because it receives negotiated amounts in the form of reductions of the purchase price for the future purchase plus the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the securities sold until the settlement date of the forward purchase. The Fund records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as a realized gain or loss. Unless any realized gains exceed the income, capital appreciation, and gain or loss due to mortgage prepayments that would have been realized on the securities sold as part of the mortgage dollar roll, the use of this technique will diminish the investment performance of the Fund compared to what the performance would have been without the use of mortgage dollar rolls. All cash proceeds will be invested in instruments that are permissible investments for the Fund. The Fund identifies within its Portfolio of Investments cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the forward purchase price.
For financial reporting and tax purposes, the Fund treats "to be announced" mortgage dollar rolls as two separate transactions, one involving the purchase of a security and a separate transaction involving a sale. This treatment may exaggerate the Fund's portfolio turnover rate. The Fund does not currently enter into mortgage dollar rolls that are accounted for as financing transactions.
Mortgage dollar rolls involve certain risks. If the broker-dealer to whom the Fund sells the securities becomes insolvent, the Fund's right to purchase or repurchase the mortgage-related securities may be restricted and the instruments which the Fund is required to repurchase may be worth less than instruments which the Fund originally held. Successful use of mortgage dollar rolls may depend upon the Investment Manager's ability to predict interest rates and mortgage prepayments. For these reasons, there is no assurance that mortgage dollar rolls can be successfully employed.
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.
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Market premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted. Original issue discount is accreted to interest income over the life of the security with a corresponding increase in the cost basis, if any. For convertible securities, premiums attributable to the conversion feature are not amortized.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds 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. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class. Income and expenses are allocated to each class based on the settled shares
39
Columbia Bond Fund, April 30, 2012
method, while realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated based on the relative net assets 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 (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Guarantees and Indemnifications
Under the Trust's organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund's contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Note 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates
Investment Management Fees
Under an Investment Management Services Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), determines which securities will be purchased, held or sold. The management fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets that declines from 0.43% to 0.30% as the Fund's net assets increase. For the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012, the annualized effective management fee rate was 0.43% of the Fund's average daily net assets. For the year ended March 31, 2012, the effective management fee rate was 0.42% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fees
Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Investment Manager serves as the Fund Administrator. The Fund pays the Fund Administrator an annual fee for administration and accounting services equal to a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets that declines from 0.07% to 0.04% as the Fund's net assets increase. For the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012 and the year ended March 31, 2012, the annualized effective administration fee rate was 0.06% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
Prior to June 27, 2011, the Fund had entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the Financial Reporting Services Agreement) with State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street) and the Investment Manager pursuant to which State Street provided financial reporting services to the Fund. The Fund also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the State Street Agreements) with State Street and the Investment Manager pursuant to which State Street provided accounting services to the Fund. Under the State Street Agreements, the Fund paid 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 did not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). The Fund also reimbursed State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges. Effective June 27, 2011, these services are provided under the Administrative Services Agreement discussed above.
40
Columbia Bond Fund, April 30, 2012
Compensation of Board Members
Board members are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. The Trust's eligible Trustees may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) which may be terminated at any time. Obligation of the Plan will be paid solely out of the Fund's assets.
Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer
The Board 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.
Transfer Agent Fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent.
The Transfer Agent receives monthly account-based service fees based on the number of open accounts and is reimbursed by the Fund for the fees and expenses the Transfer Agent pays to financial intermediaries that maintain omnibus accounts with the Fund that is a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund's shares maintained in each such omnibus account (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., which are paid a per account fee). 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 (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from fees for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket expenses. Class I shares do not pay transfer agent fees.
For the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012 and the year ended March 31, 2012, the Fund's annualized effective transfer agent fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
| | Period ended April 30, 2012 | | Year ended March 31, 2012 | |
Class A | | | 0.19 | % | | | 0.21 | % | |
Class B | | | 0.19 | | | | 0.21 | | |
Class C | | | 0.19 | | | | 0.20 | | |
Class R | | | 0.19 | | | | 0.32 | | |
Class T | | | 0.19 | | | | 0.21 | | |
Class W | | | 0.15 | | | | 0.22 | | |
Class Y | | | 0.00 | | | | 0.00 | | |
Class Z | | | 0.19 | | | | 0.21 | | |
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 in the Statement of Operations. For the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012, no minimum account balance fees were charged to accounts. For the year ended March 31, 2012, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses by $3,125.
Distribution and Service Fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Board has approved, and the Fund has adopted, distribution and shareholder service plans (the Plans) which set the distribution and service fees for the Fund. These fees are calculated daily and are intended to compensate the Distributor and/or eligible selling and/or servicing agents for selling shares of the Fund and providing services to investors.
The Plans require the payment of a monthly service fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B,
41
Columbia Bond Fund, April 30, 2012
Class C and Class W shares of the Fund. The Plans also require the payment of a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rates of 0.75%, 0.75%, 0.50% and 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B, Class C, Class R and Class W shares, respectively.
The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the distribution fee for Class C shares so that the combined distribution and service fee does not exceed 0.85% annually of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. This arrangement may be modified or terminated by the Distributor at any time.
The Fund may pay a distribution fee of up to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class W shares and a service fee of up to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class W shares, provided, however, that the aggregate fee shall not exceed 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class W 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 their selling and/or servicing agents. The Fund may pay shareholder servicing fees up to an aggregate annual rate of 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares (comprised of up to 0.20% for shareholder liaison services and up to 0.20% for administrative support services). These fees are currently limited to an aggregate annual rate of not more than 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares. In addition, the shareholder servicing fee shall be waived by the selling and/or servicing agents to the extent necessary to prevent net investment income from falling below 0.00% on a daily basis. For the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012 and the year ended March 31, 2012, the annualized effective shareholder services fee rate was 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares were $7,388 for Class A, $466 for Class B, and $279 for Class T shares for the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012, and $60,977 for Class A, $3,874 for Class B, $699 for Class C and $97 for Class T for the year ended March 31, 2012.
Expenses Waived/Reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its Affiliates
The Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below), through July 31, 2012, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board, so that the Fund's net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Fund's custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class' average daily net assets:
Class A | | | 0.80 | % | |
Class B | | | 1.55 | | |
Class C | | | 1.55 | | |
Class I | | | 0.51 | | |
Class R | | | 1.05 | | |
Class T | | | 0.70 | | |
Class W | | | 0.80 | | |
Class Y | | | 0.55 | | |
Class Z | | | 0.55 | | |
Under the agreement, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, extraordinary expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from all parties. Class C distribution fees waived by the Distributor, as discussed above, are in addition to the waiver/reimbursement commitment under the agreement.

Note 4. 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 because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
For the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012, these differences are primarily due to differing treatment for deferral/reversal of wash sales, deferred trustees compensation, distributions, recognition of market discount, paydown reclassifications, recognition of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for certain derivative investments, and tax straddles. For the year ended March 31, 2012, these differences are primarily due to differing treatment for deferral/reversal of wash sales, defaulted bonds, deferred trustees compensation, distributions, recognition of market discount, paydown reclassifications, recognition of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for certain derivative investments, and tax straddles. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made among the components of the Fund's net assets in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications. In the Statement of Assets and Liabilities the following reclassifications were made:
| | Period ended April 30, 2012 | | Year ended March 31, 2012 | |
Undistributed net investment income | | $ | (61,624 | ) | | $ | (3,587,628 | ) | |
Accumulated net realized gain | | | 61,624 | | | | 768,816 | | |
Paid-in capital | | | — | | | | 2,818,812 | | |
Net investment income and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.
The tax character of distributions paid during the periods indicated was as follows:
| | Period ended April 30, 2012 | | Year ended March 31, 2012 | | Year ended March 31, 2011 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 4,766,712 | | | $ | 79,190,890 | | | $ | 39,613,973 | | |
Long-term capital gains | | | — | | | | 19,031,835 | | | | 1,833,910 | | |
Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions for tax purposes.
At April 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | April 30, 2012 | | March 31, 2012 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 6,123,043 | | | $ | 6,399,350 | | |
Undistributed accumulated long-term gain | | | 11,240,058 | | | | 7,933,980 | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | | 106,382,001 | | | | 93,341,854 | | |
At April 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes, and the aggregate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was as follows:
| | April 30, 2012 | | March 31, 2012 | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation | | $ | 112,632,617 | | | $ | 100,694,853 | | |
Aggregate unrealized depreciation | | | (6,250,616 | ) | | | (7,352,999 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 106,382,001 | | | $ | 93,341,854 | | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes | | $ | 1,746,441,915 | | | $ | 1,928,528,320 | | |

Columbia Bond Fund, April 30, 2012
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. Under the Act, the Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused.
For the year ended March 31, 2012, $3,196,862 of capital loss carryforward was utilized.
Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management's conclusion 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). Generally, the Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 5. Portfolio Information
For the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, aggregated to $190,465,483 and $352,140,838, respectively, of which $188,705,504 and $270,445,606, respectively, were U.S. government securities.
For the year ended March 31, 2012, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, aggregated to $2,865,784,130 and $3,582,037,234, respectively, of which $2,380,413,571 and $2,532,202,034, respectively, were U.S. government securities.
Note 6. Lending of Portfolio Securities
Effective June 27, 2011, the Fund has entered into a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMorgan). The Agreement, which replaces the previous securities lending arrangement with State Street, authorizes JPMorgan as lending agent to lend securities to authorized borrowers in order to generate additional income on behalf of the Fund. Pursuant to the Agreement, the securities loaned are secured by cash or U.S. government securities equal to at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. Any additional collateral required to maintain those levels due to market fluctuations of the loaned securities is requested to be delivered the following business day. Cash collateral received is invested by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund into authorized investments pursuant to the Agreement. The investments made with the cash collateral are listed in the Portfolio of Investments. The values of such investments and any uninvested cash collateral are disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities along with the related obligation to return the collateral upon the return of the securities loaned.
At April 30, 2012, securities valued at $76,950,738 were on loan, secured by U.S. government securities valued at $56,107,186 and by cash collateral of $22,266,213 (which does not reflect calls for collateral made to borrowers by JPMorgan at period end) that is partially or fully invested in short-term securities or other cash equivalents.
At March 31, 2012, securities valued at $104,938,682 were on loan, secured by U.S. government securities valued at $61,422,337 and by cash collateral of $45,604,635 (which does not reflect calls for collateral made to borrowers by JPMorgan at period end) that is partially or fully invested in short-term securities or other cash equivalents.
Risks of delay in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the securities may occur should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Risks may also arise to the extent that the value of the securities loaned increases above the value of the collateral received. JPMorgan will indemnify the Fund from losses resulting from a borrower's failure to return a loaned security when due. Such indemnification does not extend to losses associated with declines in the value of cash collateral investments. The Investment Manager is not responsible for any losses incurred by the Fund in connection with the securities lending program. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and are, therefore, not considered to be illiquid investments.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Fund receives income for lending its securities either in the form of fees or by earning
44
Columbia Bond Fund, April 30, 2012
interest on invested cash collateral, net of negotiated rebates paid to borrowers and fees paid to the lending agent for services provided and any other securities lending expenses. Net income earned from securities lending for the period ended April 30, 2012 and the year ended March 31, 2012 is disclosed in the Statement of Operations. The Fund continues to earn and accrue interest and dividends on the securities loaned.
Prior to June 27, 2011, the Fund participated in a securities lending arrangement with State Street. Each security on loan was collateralized in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned plus accrued income from the investment of collateral. The income generated by the investment of the collateral, net of any fees remitted to State Street as the lending agent and borrower rebates, was paid to the Fund.
Note 7. Custody Credits
Prior to June 27, 2011, the Fund had an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may have been 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 they had not entered into such an agreement. Subsequent to this date, the Fund may invest its daily balance in an affiliated money market fund as detailed below. For the period April 1, 2011 through June 27, 2011, there were no custody credits.
Note 8. Affiliated Money Market Fund
Effective June 27, 2011, the Fund may invest its daily cash balances in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds. The income earned by the Fund from such investments is included as "Dividends from affiliates" in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund.
Note 9. Shareholder Concentration
At April 30, 2012 one unaffiliated shareholder account owned 68.5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and at March 31, 2012, two unaffiliated shareholder accounts owned 78.1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund has no knowledge about whether any portion of those shares was owned beneficially by such accounts. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 10. Line of Credit
The Fund has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan, whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility became effective on June 27, 2011, replacing a prior credit facility. The credit facility agreement, as amended, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $500 million. Pursuant to a December 13, 2011 amendment to the credit facility agreement, interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (i) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.08% per annum. For the period June 27, 2011 through December 12, 2011, interest was charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the sum of the federal funds rate plus (i) 1.25% per annum plus (ii) if one-month LIBOR exceeds the federal funds rate, the amount of such excess. The Fund also paid a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.10% per annum.
For the period May 16, 2011 through June 26, 2011, the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager participated in a $150 million committed, unsecured revolving credit facility provided by State Street. Prior to May 16, 2011, the collective borrowing amount of the credit facility was $225 million. Interest was charged to each fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the greater of the (i) federal funds rate plus 1.25% per annum or (ii) the overnight LIBOR rate plus 1.25% per annum. The Fund also paid a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.125% per annum.
The Fund had no borrowings during the period ended Apriil 30, 2012.
45
Columbia Bond Fund, April 30, 2012
For the year ended March 31, 2012, the average daily loan balance outstanding on days when borrowing existed was $1,300,000 at a weighted average interest rate of 1.39%.
Note 11. Fund Merger
At the close of business on March 11, 2011, the Fund acquired the assets and assumed the identified liabilities of Columbia Core Bond Fund and Columbia Short-Intermediate Bond Fund, each a Series of the Trust. The reorganization was completed after shareholders approved the plan on February 15, 2011. The purpose of the transaction was to combine funds managed by the Investment Manager with comparable investment objectives and strategies.
The aggregate net assets of the Fund immediately before the acquisition were $737,515,241 and the combined net assets immediately after the acquisition was $2,654,074,590. The merger was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 146,676,981 shares and 41,410,121 shares of Columbia Core Bond Fund and Columbia Short-Intermediate Bond Fund valued at $1,609,982,935 and $306,576,914, respectively.
In exchange for Columbia Core Bond Fund and Columbia Short- Intermediate Bond Fund shares and net assets, the Fund issued the following number of shares:
| | Shares | |
Class A | | | 6,825,239 | | |
Class B | | | 605,596 | | |
Class C | | | 1,214,993 | | |
Class T | | | 1,776,589 | | |
Class Z | | | 196,357,315 | | |
For financial reporting purposes, net assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, Columbia Core Bond Fund and Columbia Short-Intermediate Bond Fund's cost of investments was carried forward.
The financial statements reflect the operations of the Fund for the period prior to the merger and the combined fund for the period subsequent to the merger. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the merger was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Columbia Core Bond Fund and Columbia Short-Intermediate Bond Fund that have been included in the combined Fund's Statement of Operations since the merger was completed.
Assuming the merger had been completed on April 1, 2010, the Fund's pro-forma net investment income (loss), net gain (loss) on investments, net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and net increase in net assets from operations for the year ended March 31, 2011 would have been approximately $92.6 million, $55.0 million, ($21.8 million) and $125.8 million, respectively.
Note 12. Significant Risks
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 Fund to have to
46
Columbia Bond Fund, April 30, 2012
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.
Note 13. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 14. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings
In December 2005, without admitting or denying the allegations, American Express Financial Corporation (AEFC, which is now known as Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial)) entered into settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Minnesota Department of Commerce (MDOC) related to market timing activities. As a result, AEFC was censured and ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, and various Minnesota laws. AEFC agreed to pay disgorgement of $10 million and civil money penalties of $7 million. AEFC also agreed to retain an independent distribution consultant to assist in developing a plan for distribution of all disgorgement and civil penalties ordered by the SEC in accordance with various undertakings detailed at www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/ia-2451.pdf. Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates have cooperated with the SEC and the MDOC in these legal proceedings, and have made regular reports to the funds' Boards of Trustees.
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make 10-Q, 10-K and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and the Shareholders of Columbia Bond Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, 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 Bond Fund (the "Fund") (a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I) at April 30, 2012 and at March 31, 2012, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at April 30, 2012 and at March 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

President's Message

Dear Shareholders,
A stock market rally that commenced in the fourth quarter of 2011 continued into 2012 in the United States and around the world, as all major market regions generated double-digit returns for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. Volatility declined sharply as European debt fears quieted somewhat and sentiment improved. Returns in developed countries were buoyed by strong results in Germany, Belgium, Austria and the Nordic markets of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. Under the cloud of its own mounting debt problem, Spain was the only eurozone country to deliver a negative return during the three-month period. Solid economic growth and accommodative monetary policy helped boost gains in emerging markets. The rally in U.S. equities was largely driven by an expansion in "multiples"—an increase in stock prices relative to their earnings. By the end of the first quarter of 2012, stocks no longer appeared as cheap as they were late in 2011. Bonds lagged stocks during the first quarter as investors responded to signs of an improved environment with a greater appetite for risk.
Concerns around the health of the global economy were centered in news headlines focusing on Washington D.C., Europe, China and the Middle East. In the United States, economic indicators remained mixed but generally indicated support for slow, sustainable economic growth. European policymakers have made progress in containing the eurozone debt crisis, though they still have not solved the issue of long-term solvency. The European Central Bank has lowered interest rates and flooded the financial system with liquidity that may provide breathing space for companies to restructure their balance sheets. These massive infusions of liquidity may whet the appetite for risk from investors around the world. However, it has delayed a true reckoning with the European financial situation, as concerns about Spain and Portugal continue to cloud the outlook. These structural challenges that persist in the developed world, and slowing growth in emerging market economies, leave the global economy in a fragile state. Domestic demand, combined with slowing inflationary trends, has also helped to shore up emerging market economies. Joblessness remains low and monetary conditions remain easy.
Despite the challenges and surprises of 2011, we see pockets of strength—and as a result, attractive opportunities—both here and abroad for 2012. We hope to help you capitalize on these opportunities with various articles in our 2012 Perspectives, which is available via the Market Insights tab at columbiamanagement.com. This publication showcases the strong research capabilities and experienced investment teams of Columbia Management and offers a diverse array of investment ideas based on our five key themes for 2012.

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 Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.
All results shown assume the reinvestment of distributions. Class I and Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees. Class W shares are sold at net asset value with a distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fee. Class I, Class W and Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Please see the fund's prospectuses for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.
*The returns shown for periods prior to the share class inception date (including returns since inception, which are since Fund inception) include the returns of the fund's oldest share class. These returns are adjusted to reflect any higher class-related operating expenses of the newer share classes, as applicable. Please visit columbiamanagement.com/mutual-fund/appended-performance for more information.
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 Corporate Income Fund
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your fund's expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated 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. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the Actual column. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund's actual return) and then applies the Fund's actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. 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 the period. See "Compare with other funds" below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
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 cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 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 only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Bond ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not the Fund itself and are divided into categories ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest), and are subject to change. The ratings shown are determined by using the middle rating of Moody's, S&P, and Fitch after dropping the highest and lowest available ratings. When a rating from only two agencies is available, the lower rating is used. When a rating from only one agency is available, that rating is used. When a bond is not rated by one of these agencies, it is designated as Not rated. Credit ratings are subjective to opinions and not statements of fact.
The Board of Trustees for Columbia Corporate Income Fund has approved the change of the fund's fiscal year end from March 31 to April 30. As a result, this report covers the 13-month period since the last annual report. The next report you receive will be for the six-month period from May 1, 2012 through October 31, 2012.
Effective April 1, 2012, the fund changed its primary benchmark to the Barclays U.S. Corporate Index. Also effective April 1, 2012, the fund changed the composition of its blended benchmark to 85% Barclays U.S. Corporate Index /15% BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index. We believe the new benchmarks are more representative of the fund's investment approach.
For the 13-month period that ended April 30, 2012, the fund's Class A shares returned 10.30% without sales charge. The fund's return was generally in line with the returns of its new benchmarks, which returned 10.98% and 10.38%, respectively. The fund's performance also was consistent with the returns of its former benchmarks, the Barclays Credit Bond Index and a weighted composite of the Barclays Credit Bond Index (85%) and the JPM Global High Yield Index (15%), which returned 11.05% and 10.69%, respectively for the same period. Fees generally accounted for the small performance difference between the fund and the benchmarks.
Improving economic news
Early in the reporting period, Europe's debt problems and wrangling in Washington over the federal budget and the national debt dominated world headlines. U.S. economic news was lackluster, the housing market continued to slump and job growth was disappointing. However, the pace of both economic and job growth picked up as the period wore on. Consumer confidence improved as the labor market added approximately 1.2 million new jobs between November 2011 and April 2012, while the jobless rate fell to 8.1%. Household net worth also picked up as the equity markets rebounded. Headline inflation rose 2.7%, driven primarily by rising food and energy prices. Despite a modest slowdown in manufacturing activity late in the summer of 2011, manufacturing activity continued to expand throughout the period.
Focus on security selection aided performance
Against this improving economic backdrop, our emphasis on security selection aided performance. We targeted asset-rich domestic corporations with stable cash flows and businesses that were less sensitive to economic cycles. This relatively defensive positioning helped sustain the portfolio as investor sentiment shifted. When Europe's debt problems and U.S. fiscal problems eroded confidence early in the period, investors avoided risk. When investors perceived that Europe was taking measures to address its debt problems and the debt ceiling standoff was resolved—albeit temporarily—investors grew more comfortable with risk.
We maintained a highly diversified portfolio of both investment-grade and high-yield corporate securities, favoring the debt of non-cyclical companies in industries such as pipelines, electric utilities, telecommunications and media, food and beverages and transportation. The fund held positions in the debt of approximately 150 investment-grade corporations and 350 lower-rated corporations. As a result of this relatively

Portfolio Manager's Report (continued) – Columbia Corporate Income Fund
broad diversification, no single holding had a significant impact on returns, either positive or negative. Duration management also helped performance. (Duration is a measure of interest rate sensitivity.) We emphasized securities with maturities of less than 15 years, which aided performance as longer maturities underperformed during the period.
Financials underweight hampered returns, but reflects our concerns
As investors became more comfortable with risk in the second half of the period, the fund's underweight relative to the index in the financials sector held back results. We underweighted the sector because we believe U.S. financial corporations face a variety of regulatory and economic uncertainties and we were even less comfortable with companies exposed to the debt problems in Europe. Even though our judgment was not rewarded during the period, we continue to reflect these concerns in the portfolio's positioning going forward.
Looking ahead
We remain confident about the prospects for non-financial U.S. corporations and will continue to rely on bottom-up security selection to help identify companies in which we have a high degree of confidence. Non-financial U.S. companies have exceeded earnings expectations over the past year and continue to maintain strong balance sheets with high cash balances. We believe these companies have the financial flexibility to manage their businesses successfully and meet their debt obligations even if the economy weakens.
Portfolio characteristics and holdings are subject to change periodically and may not be representative of current characteristics and holdings. The outlook for the fund may differ from that presented for other Columbia Funds.
Investing in fixed-income securities may involve certain risks, including the credit quality of individual issuers, possible prepayments, market or economic developments and yields and share price fluctuations due to changes in interest rates. When interest rates go up, bond prices typically drop, and vice versa.
Investments in high-yield bonds (sometimes referred to as "junk" bonds) offer the potential for high current income and attractive total return, but involve certain risks. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances may adversely affect a high-yield bond issuer's ability to make principal and interest payments.

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund's assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability's fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.

Fair Value Measurements (continued) | |
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.
• Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).
• Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment's fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
Under the direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager's Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for carrying out the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager's organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are readily available, including recommendation of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third-party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.

The Fund's assets assigned to the Level 3 category are valued utilizing the valuation technique deemed the most appropriate in the circumstances. Certain Corporate Bonds and Warrants classified as Level 3 are valued using a market approach. To determine fair value for these securities, management considered various factors which may have included, but were not limited to, utilization of single market quotations from broker dealers, trades of similar securities, estimated earnings of the respective company, market multiples derived from a set of comparable companies, and the position of the security within the respective company's capital structure.
Financial assets were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 as observable market inputs were utilized and management's determination that there was sufficient, reliable and observable market data to value these assets as of period end.
Financial Assets were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 due to utilizing a single market quotation from a broker dealer. As a result, as of period end, management determined to fair value the security under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees
Transfers in and/or out of Level 3 are determined based on the fair value at the beginning of the period for security positions held throughout the period.

Notes to Financial Statements – Columbia Corporate Income Fund
April 30, 2012
Note 1. Organization
Columbia Corporate Income Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Fiscal Year End Change
During the period, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to April 30. Accordingly, this report includes activity for the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012 and the year ended March 31, 2012.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class W and Class Z shares. All share classes have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75% based on the initial investment amount. 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 contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months of purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.
Class B shares may be 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. The Fund no longer accepts investments by 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 certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds.
Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within one year of purchase.
Class I shares are not subject to sales charges and are only available to the Columbia Family of Funds.
Class W shares are not subject to sales charges and are only available to investors purchasing through authorized investment programs managed by investment professionals, including discretionary managed account programs.
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges, and are only available to certain investors, as described in the Fund's prospectus.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board) 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 may also be valued based upon an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation.
All equity securities are valued at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sales price on the principal exchange or market on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market, 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 mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices on such exchanges or markets.
35
Columbia Corporate Income Fund, April 30, 2012
Investments in other open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at net asset value.
Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of short-term securities originally purchased with maturities greater than 60 days is determined based on an amortized value to par upon reaching 60 days to maturity. Short-term securities maturing in more than 60 days from the valuation date are valued at the market price or approximate market value based on current interest rates.
Futures and options on futures contracts are valued based upon the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Swap transactions are valued through an independent pricing service or broker, or if neither is available, through an internal model based upon observable inputs.
Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If any foreign share prices are not readily available as a result of limited share activity the securities are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices on such exchanges or markets. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 4:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. However, many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the NYSE; therefore, the closing prices for securities in such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after such close but before the close of the NYSE. In those situations, foreign securities will be fair valued pursuant to the policy adopted by the Board, including utilizing a third party pricing service to determine these fair values. The third party pricing service takes into account multiple factors, including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S. securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign exchange, to determine a good faith estimate that reasonably reflects the current market conditions as of the close of the NYSE. The fair value of a security is likely to be different from the quoted or published price, if available.
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. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) 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.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
The values of all assets and liabilities denominated 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 in the Statement of Operations.
Derivative Instruments
The Fund invests in certain derivative instruments as detailed below to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more other assets, such as securities, currencies, commodities or indices. Derivative instruments may be used to maintain cash reserves while maintaining exposure to certain other assets, to offset anticipated declines in values of investments, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligation under the terms of the contract, the potential for an
36
Columbia Corporate Income Fund, April 30, 2012
illiquid secondary market and the potential for market movements which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Fund and any counterparty are required to maintain an agreement that requires the Fund and that counterparty to monitor (on a daily basis) the net fair value of all derivatives entered into pursuant to the agreement between the Fund and such counterparty. If the net fair value of such derivatives between the Fund and that counterparty exceeds a certain threshold (as defined in the agreement), the Fund or the counterparty (as the case may be) is required to post cash and/or securities as collateral. Fair values of derivatives presented in the financial statements are not netted with the fair value of other derivatives or with any collateral amounts posted by the Fund or any counterparty.
Futures Contracts
Futures contracts represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts to manage the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund versus the benchmark and manage exposure to movements in interest rates. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks which may include interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.
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 (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are 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 in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Effects of Derivative Transactions in the Financial Statements
The following tables are intended to provide additional information about the effect of derivatives on the financial statements of the Fund, including: the fair value of derivatives by risk category and the location of those fair values in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; the impact of derivative transactions on the Fund's operations over the period including realized gains or losses and unrealized gains or losses. The derivative schedules following the Portfolio of Investments present additional information regarding derivative instruments outstanding at the end of the period, if any.

Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that management has determined are creditworthy. The Fund, through the custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Management 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 a 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.
Delayed Delivery Securities
The 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 Fund to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. The Fund designates cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.
Loan Participations and Commitments
The Fund may invest in loan participations. When the Fund purchases a loan participation, the Fund typically enters into a contractual relationship with the lender or third party selling such participation (Selling Participant), but not the borrower. However, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the borrower, Selling Participant and any other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the borrower. The Fund may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the senior loan which it has purchased from the Selling Participant.
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.
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Market premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted. Original issue discount is accreted to interest income over the life of the security with a corresponding increase in the cost basis, if any.
Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded net of any non-reclaimable tax withholdings, on the ex-dividend date or upon receipt of ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign securities.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds 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. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class. Income and expenses are allocated to each class based on the settled shares method, while realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Tax Status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal
39
Columbia Corporate Income Fund, April 30, 2012
Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), 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.
Foreign Taxes
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries, as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.
Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the Fund level, based on statutory rates. The Fund accrues for such foreign taxes on net realized and unrealized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction, as applicable.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Guarantees and Indemnifications
Under the Trust's organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund's contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Note 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates
Investment Management Fees
Under an Investment Management Services Agreement (IMSA), Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), determines which securities will be purchased, held or sold. Effective July 1, 2011, the management fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets that declines from 0.43% to 0.30% as the Fund's net assets increase. Prior to July 1, 2011, the management fee was equal to a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets that declined from 0.42% to 0.32% as the Fund's net assets increased. For the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012 and the year ended March 31, 2012, the annualized effective management fee rate was 0.43% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fees
Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Investment Manager serves as the Fund Administrator. Effective July 1, 2011, the Fund pays the Fund Administrator an annual fee for administration and accounting services equal to a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets that declines from 0.07% to 0.04% as the Fund's net assets increase. Prior to July 1, 2011, the administration fee was equal to a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets that declined from 0.15% to 0.10% as the Fund's net assets increased. For the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012, the annualized effective administration fee rate was 0.07% of the Fund's average daily net assets. For the year ended March 31, 2012, the effective administration fee rate was 0.08% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
Prior to June 27, 2011, the Fund had entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the Financial Reporting Services Agreement) with State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street) and the Investment Manager pursuant to which State Street provided financial reporting services to the Fund. The Fund also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the State Street Agreements) with State Street and the Investment Manager pursuant to which State
40
Columbia Corporate Income Fund, April 30, 2012
Street provided accounting services to the Fund. Under the State Street Agreements, the Fund paid 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 did not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). The Fund also reimbursed State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges. Effective June 27, 2011, these services are provided under the Administrative Services Agreement discussed above.
Compensation of Board Members
Board members are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. The Trust's eligible Trustees may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) which may be terminated at any time. Obligation of the Plan will be paid solely out of the Fund's assets.
Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer
The Board 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.
Transfer Agent Fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent.
The Transfer Agent receives monthly account-based service fees based on the number of open accounts and is reimbursed by the Fund for the fees and expenses the Transfer Agent pays to financial intermediaries that maintain omnibus accounts with the Fund that is a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund's shares maintained in each such omnibus account (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., which are paid a per account fee). 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 (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from fees for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket expenses. Class I shares do not pay transfer agent fees.
For the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012 and the year ended March 31, 2012, the Fund's annualized effective transfer agent fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
| | Period ended April 30, 2012 | | Year ended March 31, 2012 | |
Class A | | | 0.17 | % | | | 0.18 | % | |
Class B | | | 0.17 | | | | 0.19 | | |
Class C | | | 0.17 | | | | 0.19 | | |
Class W | | | 0.17 | | | | 0.19 | | |
Class Z | | | 0.17 | | | | 0.18 | | |
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 in the Statement of Operations. For the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012, no minimum account balance fees were charged to accounts. For the year ended March 31, 2012, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses by $2,610.
Distribution and Service Fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Board has approved, and the Fund has adopted, distribution and shareholder service plans (the Plans) which set the distribution and service fees for the Fund. These fees are calculated daily and are intended to compensate the
41
Columbia Corporate Income Fund, April 30, 2012
Distributor and/or eligible selling and/or servicing agents for selling shares of the Fund and providing services to investors.
The Plans require the payment of a monthly service fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B, Class C and Class W shares of the Fund. The Plans also require the payment of a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rates of 0.75%, 0.75% and 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B, Class C and Class W shares, respectively.
The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the distribution fee for Class C shares so that the combined distribution and service fee does not exceed 0.85% annually of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. This arrangement may be modified or terminated by the Distributor at any time.
The Fund may pay a distribution fee of up to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class W shares and a service fee of up to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class W shares, provided, however, that the aggregate fee shall not exceed 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class W shares.
Sales Charges
Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares were $19,406 for Class A, $707 for Class B and $10 for Class C shares for the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012, and $210,649 for Class A, $2,816 for Class B and $2,321 for Class C shares for the year ended March 31, 2012.
Expenses Waived/Reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its Affiliates
Effective July 1, 2011, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below), through July 31, 2012, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board, so that the Fund's net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Fund's custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class' average daily net assets:
Class A | | | 0.92 | % | |
Class B | | | 1.67 | | |
Class C | | | 1.67 | | |
Class I | | | 0.62 | | |
Class W | | | 0.92 | | |
Class Z | | | 0.67 | | |
Under the agreement, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, extraordinary expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Fund's Board. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from all parties. Class C distribution fees waived by the Distributor, as discussed above, are in addition to the waiver/reimbursement commitment under the agreement.
Prior to July 1, 2011, the Investment Manager voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of the Fund's expenses (excluding certain expenses, such as brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any) so that the Fund's ordinary net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits from the Fund's custodian, did not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class' average daily net assets:
Class A | | | 0.95 | % | |
Class B | | | 1.70 | | |
Class C | | | 1.70 | | |
Class I | | | 0.65 | | |
Class W | | | 0.95 | | |
Class Z | | | 0.70 | | |

Note 4. 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 because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
For the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012, these differences are primarily due to differing treatment for capital loss carryforward, defaulted bonds, deferral/reversal of wash sales, Trustees' deferred compensation, distributions, recognition of market discount, paydown reclassification, recognition of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for certain derivative investments, and tax straddles. For the year ended March 31, 2012, these differences are primarily due to defaulted bonds, differing treatment for deferral/reversal of wash sales, Trustees' deferred compensation, recognition of market discount and recognition of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for certain derivative investments. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made among the components of the Fund's net assets in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications. In the Statement of Assets and Liabilities the following reclassifications were made:
| | Period ended | | Year ended | |
| | April 30, 2012 | | March 31, 2012 | |
Excess of distributions over net investment income | | $ | 39,557 | | | $ | 780,668 | | |
Accumulated net realized gain/loss | | | (39,557 | ) | | | (829,868 | ) | |
Paid-in capital | | | — | | | | 49,200 | | |
Net investment income and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.
The tax character of distributions paid during the periods indicated was as follows:
| | Period ended April 30, 2012 | | Year ended March 31, 2012 | | Year ended March 31, 2011 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 4,040,654 | | | $ | 37,538,035 | | | $ | 29,162,141 | | |
Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions for tax purposes.
At April 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | April 30, 2012 | | March 31, 2012 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 3,783,504 | | | $ | 4,813,076 | | |
Undistributed accumulated long-term gain | | | 159,269 | | | | 159,269 | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 38,251,054 | | | | 23,205,971 | | |
At April 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes, and the aggregate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was as follows:
| | April 30, 2012 | | March 31, 2012 | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation | | $ | 48,413,639 | | | $ | 35,133,134 | | |
Aggregate unrealized depreciation | | | (10,162,585 | ) | | | (11,927,163 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | | 38,251,054 | | | | 23,205,971 | | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes | | $ | 1,414,754,946 | | | $ | 1,442,003,044 | | |
The following capital loss carryforward, determined at April 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, 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 | | April 30, 2012 Amount | | March 31, 2012 Amount | |
Unlimited short-term | | $ | 118,581 | | | $ | — | | |

Columbia Corporate Income Fund, April 30, 2012
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. Under the Act, the Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused.
For the year ended March 31, 2012, $29,612,869 of capital loss carryforward was utilized.
Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management's conclusion 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). Generally, the Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 5. Portfolio Information
For the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, aggregated to $114,223,187 and $84,335,891, respectively, of which $32,997,515 and $59,135,608, respectively, were U.S. government securities.
For the year ended March 31, 2012, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, aggregated to $2,344,123,974 and $1,747,261,985, respectively, of which $455,637,867 and $441,986,192, respectively, were U.S. government securities.
Note 6. Lending of Portfolio Securities
Effective June 27, 2011, the Fund has entered into a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMorgan). The Agreement, which replaces the previous securities lending arrangement with State Street, authorizes JPMorgan as lending agent to lend securities to authorized borrowers in order to generate additional income on behalf of the Fund. Pursuant to the Agreement, the securities loaned are secured by cash or U.S. government securities equal to at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. Any additional collateral required to maintain those levels due to market fluctuations of the loaned securities is requested to be delivered the following business day. Cash collateral received is invested by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund into authorized investments pursuant to the Agreement. The investments made with the cash collateral are listed in the Portfolio of Investments. The values of such investments and any uninvested cash collateral are disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities along with the related obligation to return the collateral upon the return of the securities loaned.
Risks of delay in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the securities may occur should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Risks may also arise to the extent that the value of the securities loaned increases above the value of the collateral received. JPMorgan will indemnify the Fund from losses resulting from a borrower's failure to return a loaned security when due. Such indemnification does not extend to losses associated with declines in the value of cash collateral investments. The Investment Manager is not responsible for any losses incurred by the Fund in connection with the securities lending program. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and are, therefore, not considered to be illiquid investments.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Fund receives income for lending its securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of negotiated rebates paid to borrowers and fees paid to the lending agent for services provided and any other securities lending expenses. Net income earned from securities lending for the period ended April 30, 2012 and the year ended March 31, 2012 is disclosed in the Statement of Operations. The Fund continues to earn and accrue interest and dividends on the securities loaned.
Prior to June 27, 2011, the Fund participated in a securities lending arrangement with State Street. Each security on loan was collateralized in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned plus accrued income from the investment of collateral. The income generated by the
44
Columbia Corporate Income Fund, April 30, 2012
investment of the collateral, net of any fees remitted to State Street as the lending agent and borrower rebates, was paid to the Fund.
At April 30, 2012, securities valued at $79,760,873 were on loan, secured by U.S. government securities valued at $25,664,491 and by cash collateral of $55,676,780 (which does not reflect calls for collateral made to borrowers by JPMorgan at period end) that is partially or fully invested in short-term securities or other cash equivalents.
At March 31, 2012, securities valued at $80,252,619 were on loan, secured by U.S. government securities valued at $27,026,445 and by cash collateral of $55,349,048 (which does not reflect calls for collateral made to borrowers by JPMorgan at period end) that is partially or fully invested in short-term securities or other cash equivalents.
Note 7. Custody Credits
Prior to June 27, 2011, the Fund had an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may have been 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 they had not entered into such an agreement. Subsequent to this date, the Fund may invest its daily balance in an affiliated money market fund as detailed below. For the period April 1, 2011 through June 26, 2011, these credits reduced total expenses by $16.
Note 8. Affiliated Money Market Fund
Effective June 27, 2011, the Fund may invest its daily cash balances in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds. The income earned by the Fund from such investments is included as "Dividends from affiliates" in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund.
Note 9. Shareholder Concentration
At April 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, two unaffiliated shareholder accounts owned 42.8% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund has no knowledge about whether any portion of those shares was owned beneficially by such accounts. Affiliated shareholder accounts owned 40.9% and 40.7% at April 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively, of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 10. Line of Credit
The Fund has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the Administrative Agent), whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility became effective on June 27, 2011, replacing a prior credit facility. The credit facility agreement, as amended, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $500 million. Pursuant to a December 13, 2011 amendment to the credit facility agreement, interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (i) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.08% per annum. For the period June 27, 2011 through December 12, 2011, interest was charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the sum of the federal funds rate plus (i) 1.25% per annum plus (ii) if one-month LIBOR exceeds the federal funds rate, the amount of such excess. The Fund also paid a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.10% per annum.
For the period May 16, 2011 through June 26, 2011, the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager participated in a $150 million committed, unsecured revolving credit facility provided by State Street. Prior to May 16, 2011, the collective borrowing amount of the credit facility was $225 million. Interest was charged to each fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the greater of the (i) federal funds rate plus 1.25% per annum or (ii) the overnight LIBOR rate plus 1.25% per annum. The Fund also paid a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.125% per annum. The Fund had no borrowings during the period ended April 30, 2012.
45
Columbia Corporate Income Fund, April 30, 2012
For the year ended March 31, 2012, the average daily loan balance outstanding on days when borrowing existed was $2,200,000 at a weighted average interest rate of 1.39%.
Note 11. Significant Risks
High Yield Securities Risk
Investing in high-yield fixed income 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.
Sector Focus Risk
The Fund may focus its investments in certain sectors, subjecting it to greater risk than a fund that invests in a wider range of industries.
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.
Note 12. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 13. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings
In December 2005, without admitting or denying the allegations, American Express Financial Corporation (AEFC, which is now known as Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial)) entered into settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Minnesota Department of Commerce (MDOC) related to market timing activities. As a result, AEFC was censured and ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, and various Minnesota laws. AEFC agreed to pay disgorgement of $10 million and civil money penalties of $7 million. AEFC also agreed to retain an independent distribution consultant to assist in developing a plan for distribution of all disgorgement and civil penalties ordered by the SEC in accordance with various undertakings detailed at www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/ia-2451.pdf. Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates have cooperated with the SEC and the MDOC in these legal proceedings, and have made regular reports to the funds' Boards of Trustees.
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make 10-Q, 10-K and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates.
46
Columbia Corporate Income Fund, April 30, 2012
Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, 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 Corporate Income Fund (the "Fund") (a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I) at April 30, 2012 and at March 31, 2012, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at April 30, 2012 and at March 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

President's Message

Dear Shareholders,
A stock market rally that commenced in the fourth quarter of 2011 continued into 2012 in the United States and around the world, as all major market regions generated double-digit returns for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. Volatility declined sharply as European debt fears quieted somewhat and sentiment improved. Returns in developed countries were buoyed by strong results in Germany, Belgium, Austria and the Nordic markets of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. Under the cloud of its own mounting debt problem, Spain was the only eurozone country to deliver a negative return during the three-month period. Solid economic growth and accommodative monetary policy helped boost gains in emerging markets. The rally in U.S. equities was largely driven by an expansion in "multiples"—an increase in stock prices relative to their earnings. By the end of the first quarter of 2012, stocks no longer appeared as cheap as they were late in 2011. Bonds lagged stocks during the first quarter as investors responded to signs of an improved environment with a greater appetite for risk.
Concerns around the health of the global economy were centered in news headlines focusing on Washington D.C., Europe, China and the Middle East. In the United States, economic indicators remained mixed but generally indicated support for slow, sustainable economic growth. European policymakers have made progress in containing the eurozone debt crisis, though they still have not solved the issue of long-term solvency. The European Central Bank has lowered interest rates and flooded the financial system with liquidity that may provide breathing space for companies to restructure their balance sheets. These massive infusions of liquidity may whet the appetite for risk from investors around the world. However, it has delayed a true reckoning with the European financial situation, as concerns about Spain and Portugal continue to cloud the outlook. These structural challenges that persist in the developed world, and slowing growth in emerging market economies, leave the global economy in a fragile state. Domestic demand, combined with slowing inflationary trends, has also helped to shore up emerging market economies. Joblessness remains low and monetary conditions remain easy.
Despite the challenges and surprises of 2011, we see pockets of strength—and as a result, attractive opportunities—both here and abroad for 2012. We hope to help you capitalize on these opportunities with various articles in our 2012 Perspectives, which is available via the Market Insights tab at columbiamanagement.com. This publication showcases the strong research capabilities and experienced investment teams of Columbia Management and offers a diverse array of investment ideas based on our five key themes for 2012.

The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 3.25% for Class A shares and, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 3.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the fourth year and eliminated thereafter for Class B shares and 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The "without sales charge" returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower. Prior to August 22, 2005, new purchases of Class A shares had a maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%. The 5 & 10 year average annual returns with sales charge as of September 30, 2011 include the previous sales charge of 4.75%.
Performance results reflect any fee waivers or reimbursements of fund expenses by Columbia Management Investment Advisors LLC 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 I and Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees. Class R shares are sold at net asset value with a distribution (12b-1) fee. Class W shares are sold at net asset value with a service (12b-1) fee. Class R, Class I, Class W and Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Please see the fund's prospectuses for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.
The tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.
*The returns shown for periods prior to the share class inception date (including returns since inception) include the returns of the fund's oldest share class. These returns are adjusted to reflect any higher class-related operating expenses of the newer share classes, as applicable.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your fund's expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated 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. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the Actual column. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund's actual return) and then applies the Fund's actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. 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 the period. See "Compare with other funds" below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
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 cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 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 only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund's most recent six months and divided by 366.
Expenses do not include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund from the underlying funds in which the Fund may invest (also referred to as "acquired funds"), including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investments vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds).
Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

Bond ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not the Fund itself and are divided into categories ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest), and are subject to change. The ratings shown are determined by using the middle rating of Moody's, S&P, and Fitch after dropping the highest and lowest available ratings. When a rating from only two agencies is available, the lower rating is used. When a rating from only one agency is available, that rating is used. When a bond is not rated by one of these agencies, it is designated as Not rated. Credit ratings are subjective to opinions and not statements of fact.
The Board of Trustees for Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund has approved the change of the fund's fiscal year end from March 31 to April 30. As a result, this report covers the 13-month period since the last annual report. The next report you receive will be for the six-month period from May 1, 2012 through October 31, 2012.
For the 13-month period that ended April 30, 2012, the fund's Class A shares returned 7.80% without sales charge. The fund's return was lower than the 8.91% return of its benchmark, the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index, for the same period. The benchmark's conservative profile gave it an advantage at a time of significant challenges for the global economy.
A period of economic uncertainty
Both at home and abroad, economic growth was uneven during the period. Although the U.S. economy continued to recover and the unemployment rate edged downward, overall growth remained constrained. Meanwhile, the euro zone experienced unprecedented distress emanating originally from budgetary difficulties in Greece, whose perilous finances were then replicated in Portugal, Italy and elsewhere across the continent. Domestic markets understood the risks represented by a weakened Europe and reacted with a significant correction in the summer of 2011. Although corporate bonds and other non-Treasury assets began to recover in the fourth quarter, risk avoidance was a winning investment strategy for the period as a whole, with higher-rated credits outperforming lower-rated ones. The benchmark index, one-third of which consists of Treasury securities, was therefore a good match for the prevailing environment.
Higher risk holdings constrained results
The fund's investments in high-yield bonds and commercial mortgage-backed securities accounted for the slight performance shortfall versus the benchmark, which contains no high-yield component. However, the fund took several steps during the period that helped it reduce risks and remain competitive. As the tenuous nature of the economic recovery became clear, we cut the fund's high-yield position essentially in half, from approximately 7.0% of net assets to just 4.0%. The proceeds of this reduction bolstered the Treasury component, which we raised from approximately 13.0% of net assets in the spring of 2011 to 18.0% by the end of the period. Within the fund's corporate holdings security selection in the financial sector made a positive contribution to performance, as did an underweight position in the consumer cyclical sector, which struggled alongside the uneven recovery. Investments in the utility sector were another strong contributor. The fund also benefited from selective purchases of long-term Treasury securities, which were a major beneficiary of the sluggish economy. With short-term rates stuck at essentially zero, any shift of investor assets into fixed income was directed to the long end of the yield curve, where yields declined and asset values rose.

Portfolio Manager's Report (continued) – Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund
Looking ahead
We continue to believe that Europe's sovereign crisis will cast a long shadow on the U.S. economy and on U.S. fixed-income markets, in particular, justifying the portfolio's current conservative orientation. The uncertainties created by the 2012 political season provide another reason to keep the fund's risk exposure limited in the near term. We will continue to monitor the economy for signs of inflation, any acceleration of which could push long-term rates higher.
Portfolio characteristics and holdings are subject to change periodically and may not be representative of current characteristics and holdings. The outlook for the fund may differ from that presented for other Columbia Funds.
Investing in fixed-income securities may involve certain risks, including the credit quality of individual issuers, possible prepayments, market or economic developments and yields and share price fluctuations due to changes in interest rates. When interest rates go up, bond prices typically drop, and vice versa.
Investments in high-yield bonds (sometimes referred to as "junk" bonds) offer the potential for high current income and attractive total return, but involve certain risks. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances may adversely affect a high-yield bond issuer's ability to make principal and interest payments.

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund's assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability's fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
The Accompanying Notes to Financial Statements are an integral part of this statement.
26
Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund
April 30, 2012
Fair Value Measurements (continued) | |
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.
• Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).
• Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment's fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
Under the direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager's Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for carrying out the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager's organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are readily available, including recommendation of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third-party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.

Notes to Financial Statements – Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund
April 30, 2012
Note 1. Organization
Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Fiscal Year End Change
During the period, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to April 30. Accordingly, this report includes activity for the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012 and the year ended March 31, 2012.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class R, Class W and Class Z shares. All share classes have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.25% based on the initial investment amount. 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 contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months of purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.
Class B shares may be subject to a maximum CDSC of 3.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. The Fund no longer accepts investments by 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 certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds.
Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within one year of purchase.
Class I shares are not subject to sales charges and are only available to the Columbia Family of Funds.
Class R shares are not subject to sales charges and are only available to qualifying institutional investors.
Class W shares are not subject to sales charges and are only available to investors purchasing through authorized investment programs managed by investment professionals, including discretionary managed account programs.
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges, and are only available to certain investors, as described in the Fund's prospectus.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board) 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 may also be valued based upon an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation.
Asset and mortgage-backed securities are generally valued by pricing services, which utilize pricing models that incorporate the securities' cash flow and loan performance data. These

models also take into account available market data, including trades, market quotations, and benchmark yield curves for identical or similar securities. Factors used to identify similar securities may include, but are not limited to, issuer, collateral type, vintage, prepayment speeds, collateral performance, credit ratings, credit enhancement and expected life. Asset-backed securities for which quotations are readily available may also be valued based upon an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation.
All equity securities are valued at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sales price on the principal exchange or market on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market, 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 mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices on such exchanges or markets.
Investments in other open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at net asset value.
Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of short-term securities originally purchased with maturities greater than 60 days is determined based on an amortized value to par upon reaching 60 days to maturity. Short-term securities maturing in more than 60 days from the valuation date are valued at the market price or approximate market value based on current interest rates.
Futures and options on futures contracts are valued based upon the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Swap transactions are valued through an independent pricing service or broker, or if neither is available, through an internal model based upon observable inputs.
Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If any foreign share prices are not readily available as a result of limited share activity the securities are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices on such exchanges or markets. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 4:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. However, many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the NYSE; therefore, the closing prices for securities in such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after such close but before the close of the NYSE. In those situations, foreign securities will be fair valued pursuant to the policy adopted by the Board, including utilizing a third party pricing service to determine these fair values. The third party pricing service takes into account multiple factors, including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S. securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign exchange, to determine a good faith estimate that reasonably reflects the current market conditions as of the close of the NYSE. The fair value of a security is likely to be different from the quoted or published price, if available.
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. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) 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.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
The values of all assets and liabilities denominated 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
44
Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund, April 30, 2012
unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the Statement of Operations.
Derivative Instruments
The Fund invests in certain derivative instruments as detailed below to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more other assets, such as securities, currencies, commodities or indices. Derivative instruments may be used to maintain cash reserves while maintaining exposure to certain other assets, to offset anticipated declines in values of investments, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligation under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market and the potential for market movements which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Fund and any counterparty are required to maintain an agreement that requires the Fund and that counterparty to monitor (on a daily basis) the net fair value of all derivatives entered into pursuant to the agreement between the Fund and such counterparty. If the net fair value of such derivatives between the Fund and that counterparty exceeds a certain threshold (as defined in the agreement), the Fund or the counterparty (as the case may be) is required to post cash and/or securities as collateral. Fair values of derivatives presented in the financial statements are not netted with the fair value of other derivatives or with any collateral amounts posted by the Fund or any counterparty.
Futures Contracts
Futures contracts represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts to manage the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund versus the benchmark and manage exposure to movements in interest rates. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks which may include interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.
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 (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are 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 in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Credit Default Swap Contracts
Credit default swap contracts are agreements in which one party pays fixed periodic payments to a counterparty in consideration for a guarantee from the counterparty to make a specific payment should a specified negative credit event(s) take place. The Fund entered into credit default swap contracts as a protection buyer to reduce overall credit exposure.
As the purchaser of a credit default swap contract, the Fund purchases protection by paying a periodic interest rate on the notional amount to the counterparty. The interest amount is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as a realized loss upon payment. If a credit event as specified in the contract occurs, the Fund may have the option either to deliver the reference obligation to the seller in exchange for a cash payment of its par amount, or to receive a net cash settlement equal to the par amount less an agreed-upon value of the reference obligation as of the date of the credit event. The difference between the value of the obligation or cash delivered and the notional amount received will be recorded as a realized gain (loss).
As the seller of a credit default swap contract, the Fund sells protection to a buyer and will generally receive a periodic interest rate on the notional amount. The interest amount is
45
Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund, April 30, 2012
accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as a realized gain upon receipt of the payment. If a credit event as specified in the contract occurs, the Fund may either be required to accept the reference obligation from the buyer in exchange for a cash payment of its notional amount, or to pay the buyer a net cash settlement equal to the notional amount less an agreed-upon value of the reference obligation as of the date of the credit event. The difference between the value of the obligation or cash received and the notional amount paid will be recorded as a realized gain (loss). The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments the Fund could be required to make as the seller of protection under a credit default swap contract is equal to the notional amount of the reference obligation. Notional amounts of all credit default swap contracts outstanding for which the Fund is the seller of protection, if any, are disclosed in the Credit Default Swap Contracts Outstanding schedule following the Portfolio of Investments. These potential amounts may be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective reference obligations or premiums received upon entering into the agreement.
As a protection seller, the Fund bears the risk of loss from the credit events specified in the contract. Although specified events are contract specific, credit events are generally defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, or repudiation/moratorium. For credit default swap contracts on credit indices, quoted market prices and resulting market values serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the reference entity's credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the contract. Market values for credit default swap contracts in which the Fund is the seller of protection, if any, are disclosed in the Credit Default Swap Contracts Outstanding schedule following the Portfolio of Investments.
The notional amounts and market values of credit default swap contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Any premium paid or received by the Fund upon entering into a credit default swap contract is recorded as an asset or liability, respectively, and amortized daily as a component of realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. Credit default swap contracts are valued daily, and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the termination of the swap, at which time a realized gain (loss) is recorded.
Credit default swap contracts can involve greater risks than if a fund had invested in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to counterparty credit risk, leverage risk, hedging risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk. The Fund will enter into credit default swap transactions only with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness.
Effects of Derivative Transactions in the Financial Statements
The following tables are intended to provide additional information about the effect of derivatives on the financial statements of the Fund, including: the fair value of derivatives by risk category and the location of those fair values in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; the impact of derivative transactions on the Fund's operations over the period including realized gains or losses and unrealized gains or losses. The derivative schedules following the Portfolio of Investments present additional information regarding derivative instruments outstanding at April 30, 2012, if any.

Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that management has determined are creditworthy. The Fund, through the custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Management 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 a 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.
Delayed Delivery Securities
The 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 Fund to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. The Fund designates cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.
Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions
The Fund may enter into mortgage "dollar rolls" in which the Fund sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts with the same counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon and maturity) but not identical securities on a specified future date not exceeding 120 days. During the roll period, the Fund loses the right to receive principal and interest paid on the securities sold. However, the Fund will benefit because it receives negotiated amounts in the form of reductions of the purchase price for the future purchase plus the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the securities sold until the settlement date of the forward purchase. The Fund records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as a realized gain or loss. Unless any realized gains exceed the income, capital appreciation, and gain or loss due to mortgage prepayments that would have been realized on the securities sold as part of the mortgage dollar roll, the use of this technique will diminish the investment performance of the Fund compared to what the performance would have been without the use of mortgage dollar rolls. All cash proceeds will be invested in instruments that are permissible investments for the Fund. The Fund identifies within its Portfolio of Investments cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the forward purchase price.
For financial reporting and tax purposes, the Fund treats "to be announced" mortgage dollar rolls as two separate transactions, one involving the purchase of a security and a separate transaction involving a sale. This treatment may exaggerate the Fund's portfolio turnover rate. The Fund does not currently enter into mortgage dollar rolls that are accounted for as financing transactions.
Mortgage dollar rolls involve certain risks. If the broker-dealer to whom the Fund sells the securities becomes insolvent, the Fund's right to purchase or repurchase the mortgage-related securities may be restricted and the instruments which the Fund is required to repurchase may be worth less than instruments which the Fund originally held. Successful use of mortgage dollar rolls may depend upon the Investment Manager's ability to predict interest rates and mortgage prepayments. For these reasons, there is no assurance that mortgage dollar rolls can be successfully employed.
Loan Participations and Commitments
The Fund may invest in loan participations. When the Fund purchases a loan participation, the Fund typically enters into a contractual relationship with the lender or third party selling such participation (Selling Participant), but not the borrower. However, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the borrower, Selling Participant and any other persons interpositioned
49
Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund, April 30, 2012
between the Fund and the borrower. The Fund may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the senior loan which it has purchased from the Selling Participant.
Stripped Securities
The Fund may invest in Interest only (IO) and Principal Only (PO) stripped mortgage-backed securities. These securities are derivative multi-class mortgage securities structured so that one class receives most, if not all, of the principal from the underlying mortgage assets, while the other class receives most, if not all, of the interest and the remainder of the principal. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in an IO security, therefore the daily interest accrual factor is adjusted each month to reflect the paydown of principal. The market value of these securities can be extremely volatile in response to changes in interest rates. Credit risk reflects the risk that the Fund may not receive all or part of its principal because the issuer or credit enhancer has defaulted on its obligation.
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.
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Market premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted. Original issue discount is accreted to interest income over the life of the security with a corresponding increase in the cost basis, if any.
Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds 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. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class. Income and expenses are allocated to each class based on the settled shares method, while realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated based on the relative net assets of each class.
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 (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Guarantees and Indemnifications
Under the Trust's organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund's contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.

Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund, April 30, 2012
Note 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates
Investment Management Fees
Under an Investment Management Services Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), determines which securities will be purchased, held or sold. The management fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets that declines from 0.43% to 0.30% as the Fund's net assets increase. For the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012, the annualized effective management fee rate was 0.41% of the Fund's average daily net assets. For the year ended March 31, 2012, the effective management fee rate was 0.42% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fees
Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Investment Manager serves as the Fund Administrator. The Fund pays the Fund Administrator an annual fee for administration and accounting services equal to a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets that declines from 0.07% to 0.04% as the Fund's net assets increase. For the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012 and the year ended March 31, 2012, the annualized effective administration fee rate was 0.06% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
Prior to June 27, 2011, the Fund had entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the Financial Reporting Services Agreement) with State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street) and the Investment Manager pursuant to which State Street provided financial reporting services to the Fund. The Fund also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the State Street Agreements) with State Street and the Investment Manager pursuant to which State Street provided accounting services to the Fund. Under the State Street Agreements, the Fund paid 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 did not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). The Fund also reimbursed State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges. Effective June 27, 2011, these services are provided under the Administrative Services Agreement discussed above.
Compensation of Board Members
Board members are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. The Trust's eligible Trustees may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) which may be terminated at any time. Obligation of the Plan will be paid solely out of the Fund's assets.
Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer
The Board 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.
Transfer Agent Fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent.
The Transfer Agent receives monthly account-based service fees based on the number of open accounts and is reimbursed by the Fund for the fees and expenses the Transfer Agent pays to financial intermediaries that maintain omnibus accounts with the Fund that is a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund's shares maintained in each such omnibus account (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., which are paid a per account fee). 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 (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).
51
Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund, April 30, 2012
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from fees for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket expenses. Class I shares do not pay transfer agent fees.
For the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012 and the year ended March 31, 2012, the Fund's annualized effective transfer agent fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
| | Period ended April 30, 2012 | | Year ended March 31, 2012 | |
Class A | | | 0.20 | % | | | 0.19 | % | |
Class B | | | 0.19 | | | | 0.21 | | |
Class C | | | 0.20 | | | | 0.19 | | |
Class R | | | 0.19 | | | | 0.19 | | |
Class W | | | 0.26 | | | | 0.23 | | |
Class Z | | | 0.20 | | | | 0.19 | | |
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 in the Statement of Operations. For the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012, no minimum account balance fees were charged to accounts. For the year ended March 31, 2012, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses by $4,105.
Distribution and Service Fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Board has approved, and the Fund has adopted, distribution and shareholder service plans (the Plans) which set the distribution and service fees for the Fund. These fees are calculated daily and are intended to compensate the Distributor and/or eligible selling and/or servicing agents for selling shares of the Fund and providing services to investors.
The Plans require the payment of a monthly service fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B, Class C and Class W shares of the Fund. The Plans also require the payment of a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rates of 0.10%, 0.75%, 0.75%, 0.50% and 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class W shares, respectively.
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 liaison services), but currently limit such fees to an aggregate fee of not more than 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares.
The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the distribution fee for Class C shares so that the combined distribution and service fee does not exceed 0.85% annually of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. This arrangement may be modified or terminated by the Distributor at any time.
The Fund may pay a distribution fee of up to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class W shares and a service fee of up to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class W shares, provided, however, that the aggregate fee shall not exceed 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class W shares.
Sales Charges
Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares were $7,832 for Class A, $79 for Class B and $506 for Class C shares for the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012, and $107,219 for Class A, $3,018 for Class B and $3,013 for Class C shares for the year ended March 31, 2012.
Expenses Waived/Reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its Affiliates
The Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below),
52
Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund, April 30, 2012
through July 31, 2012, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board, so that the Fund's net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Fund's custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class' average daily net assets:
Class A | | | 0.84 | % | |
Class B | | | 1.59 | | |
Class C | | | 1.59 | | |
Class I | | | 0.52 | | |
Class R | | | 1.09 | | |
Class W | | | 0.84 | | |
Class Z | | | 0.59 | | |
Under the agreement, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, extraordinary expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from all parties. Class C distribution fees waived by the Distributor, as discussed above, are in addition to the waiver/reimbursement commitment under the agreement.
Note 4. 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 because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
For the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012, these differences are primarily due to differing treatment for amortization adjustments, capital loss carryforwards, defaulted bonds, deferral/reversal of wash sales, adjustments on certain convertible preferred securities, distributions, Trustees' deferred compensation, market discount/premium, paydown reclassifications, recognition of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for certain derivative investments, and tax straddles. For the year ended March 31, 2012, these differences are primarily due to differing treatment for amortization adjustments, capital loss carryforwards, defaulted bonds, deferral/reversal of wash sales, adjustments on certain convertible preferred securities, distributions, Trustees' deferred compensation, market discount/premium, paydown reclassifications, recognition of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for certain derivative investments, and tax straddles. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made among the components of the Fund's net assets in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications. In the Statement of Assets and Liabilities the following reclassifications were made:
| | Period ended April 30, 2012 | | Year ended March 31, 2012 | |
Excess of distributions over net investment income | | $ | 257,868 | | | $ | (188,605 | ) | |
Accumulated net realized loss | | | 29,465 | | | | (183,450 | ) | |
Paid-in capital | | $ | (287,333 | ) | | | 372,055 | | |
Net investment income and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.
The tax character of distributions paid during the periods indicated was as follows:
| | Period ended April 30, 2012 | | Year ended March 31, 2012 | | Year ended March 31, 2011 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 9,525,343 | | | $ | 128,721,073 | | | $ | 99,466,144 | | |
53
Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund, April 30, 2012
Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions for tax purposes.
At April 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | April 30, 2012 | | March 31, 2012 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 10,647,034 | | | $ | 14,112,598 | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | | 107,394,207 | | | | 82,156,850 | | |
At April 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes, and the aggregate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was as follows:
| | April 30, 2012 | | March 31, 2012 | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation | | $ | 158,233,240 | | | $ | 138,212,263 | | |
Aggregate unrealized depreciation | | $ | (50,839,033 | ) | | $ | (56,055,413 | ) | |
Net unrealized apppreciation | | $ | 107,394,207 | | | $ | 82,156,850 | | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes | | $ | 3,391,751,862 | | | $ | 3,433,394,488 | | |
The following capital loss carryforward, determined at April 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, 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 | | April 30, 2012 Amount | | March 31, 2012 Amount | |
2016 | | $ | 3,389,305 | | | $ | — | | |
2017 | | | 3,942,436 | | | | 3,389,305 | | |
2018 | | | — | | | | 3,942,436 | | |
Unlimited Short-term | | | 1,845,386 | | | | — | | |
Unlimited Long-term | | | 1,556,584 | | | | — | | |
Total | | $ | 10,733,711 | | | $ | 7,331,741 | | |
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. Under the Act, the Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused.
For the year ended March 31, 2012, $30,285,007 of capital loss carryforward was utilized.
Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management's conclusion 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). Generally, the Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 5. Portfolio Information
For the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, aggregated to $381,874,551 and $336,008,959, respectively, of which $326,326,342 and $118,400,906, respectively, were U.S. government securities.
For the year ended March 31, 2012, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, aggregated to $5,222,604,984 and $5,310,709,933, respectively, of which $3,659,136,766 and $3,618,300,680, respectively, were U.S. government securities.
Note 6. Regulatory Settlements
During the year ended March 31, 2012, the Fund received payments of $11,319 resulting from certain regulatory settlements with third parties in which the Fund had
54
Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund, April 30, 2012
participated. The payments have been included in "Proceeds from regulatory settlements" in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.
Note 7. Lending of Portfolio Securities
Effective June 27, 2011, the Fund has entered into a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMorgan). The Agreement, which replaces the previous securities lending arrangement with State Street, authorizes JPMorgan as lending agent to lend securities to authorized borrowers in order to generate additional income on behalf of the Fund. Pursuant to the Agreement, the securities loaned are secured by cash or U.S. government securities equal to at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. Any additional collateral required to maintain those levels due to market fluctuations of the loaned securities is requested to be delivered the following business day. Cash collateral received is invested by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund into authorized investments pursuant to the Agreement. The investments made with the cash collateral are listed in the Portfolio of Investments. The values of such investments and any uninvested cash collateral are disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities along with the related obligation to return the collateral upon the return of the securities loaned.
At April 30, 2012, securities valued at $306,074,383 were on loan, secured by U.S. government securities valued at $137,254,886 and by cash collateral of $174,638,569 (which does not reflect calls for collateral made to borrowers by JPMorgan at period end) that is partially or fully invested in short-term securities or other cash equivalents.
At March 31, 2012, securities valued at $323,112,071 were on loan, secured by U.S. government securities valued at $169,187,711 and by cash collateral of $161,684,695 (which does not reflect calls for collateral made to borrowers by JPMorgan at period end) that is partially or fully invested in short-term securities or other cash equivalents.
Risks of delay in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the securities may occur should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Risks may also arise to the extent that the value of the securities loaned increases above the value of the collateral received. JPMorgan will indemnify the Fund from losses resulting from a borrower's failure to return a loaned security when due. Such indemnification does not extend to losses associated with declines in the value of cash collateral investments. The Investment Manager is not responsible for any losses incurred by the Fund in connection with the securities lending program. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and are, therefore, not considered to be illiquid investments.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Fund receives income for lending its securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of negotiated rebates paid to borrowers and fees paid to the lending agent for services provided and any other securities lending expenses. Net income earned from securities lending for the period ended April 30, 2012 and the year ended March 31, 2012 is disclosed in the Statement of Operations. The Fund continues to earn and accrue interest and dividends on the securities loaned.
Prior to June 27, 2011, the Fund participated in a securities lending arrangement with State Street. Each security on loan was collateralized in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned plus accrued income from the investment of collateral. The income generated by the investment of the collateral, net of any fees remitted to State Street as the lending agent and borrower rebates, was paid to the Fund.
Note 8. Custody Credits
Prior to June 27, 2011, the Fund had an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may have been 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 they had not entered into such an agreement. Subsequent to this date, the Fund may invest its daily balance in an affiliated money market fund as detailed below. For the period April 1, 2011 through June 26, 2011, these credits reduced total expenses by $52.
Note 9. Affiliated Money Market Fund
Effective June 27, 2011, the Fund may invest its daily cash balances in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds. The income earned by the Fund from such investments is included as "Dividends from
55
Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund, April 30, 2012
affiliates" in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund.
Note 10. Shareholder Concentration
At April 30, 2012 one unaffiliated shareholder accounts owned 46.9% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund has no knowledge about whether any portion of those shares was owned beneficially ny such accounts. Affiliated shareholder accounts owned 21.9% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
At March 31, 2012, one unaffiliated shareholder account owned 47.4% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund has no knowledge about whether any portion of those shares was owned beneficially by such accounts. Affiliated shareholder accounts owned 21.5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 11. Line of Credit
The Fund has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the Administrative Agent), whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility became effective on June 27, 2011, replacing a prior credit facility. The credit facility agreement, as amended, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $500 million. Pursuant to a December 13, 2011 amendment to the credit facility agreement, interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (i) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.08% per annum. For the period June 27, 2011 through December 12, 2011, interest was charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the sum of the federal funds rate plus (i) 1.25% per annum plus (ii) if one-month LIBOR exceeds the federal funds rate, the amount of such excess. The Fund also paid a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.10% per annum.
For the period May 16, 2011 through June 26, 2011, the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager participated in a $150 million committed, unsecured revolving credit facility provided by State Street. Prior to May 16, 2011, the collective borrowing amount of the credit facility was $225 million. Interest was charged to each fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the greater of the (i) federal funds rate plus 1.25% per annum or (ii) the overnight LIBOR rate plus 1.25% per annum. The Fund also paid a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.125% per annum.
The Fund had no borrowings during the period ended April 30, 2012.
For the year ended March 31, 2012, the average daily loan balance outstanding on days when borrowing existed was $21,033,333 at a weighted average interest rate of 1.38%.
Note 12. Fund Merger
At the close of business on March 11, 2011, the Fund acquired the assets and assumed the identified liabilities of Columbia Total Return Bond Fund, a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust. The reorganization was completed after shareholders approved the plan on February 15, 2011. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds managed by the Investment Manager with comparable investment objectives and strategies.
The aggregate net assets of the Fund immediately before the acquisition were $2,109,939,475 and the combined net assets immediately after the acquisition were $3,130,592,718.
The merger was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 101,858,165 shares of Columbia Total Return Bond Fund, valued at $1,020,653,243. In exchange for the Columbia Total
56
Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund, April 30, 2012
Return Bond Fund shares and net assets, the Fund issued the following number of shares:
| | Shares | |
Class A | | | 2,333,001 | | |
Class B | | | 241,230 | | |
Class C | | | 356,235 | | |
Class Z | | | 109,206,406 | | |
For financial reporting purposes, net assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, Columbia Total Return Bond Fund's cost of investments was carried forward.
The financial statements reflect the operations of the Fund for the period prior to the merger and the combined fund for the period subsequent to the merger. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the merger was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Columbia Total Return Bond Fund that have been included in the combined Fund's Statement of Operations since the merger was completed.
Assuming the merger had been completed on April 1, 2010, the Fund's pro-forma net investment income (loss), net gain (loss) on investments, net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and net increase in net assets from operations for the year ended March 31, 2011 would have been approximately $142.3 million, $80.0 million, ($24.8 million) and $197.5 million, respectively.
Note 13. Significant Risks
High Yield Securities Risk
Investing in high-yield fixed income 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.
Sector Focus Risk
The Fund may focus its investments in certain sectors, subjecting it to greater risk than a fund that invests in a wider range of industries.
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 Fund to have to reinvest the money received in securities that have lower yields. In addition, the impact of prepayments on the value of mortgage-backed securities may be difficult to predict and may result in greater volatility.

Note 14. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued. Other than as noted below, there were no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
On May 4, 2012, a group of unaffiliated shareholders of the Fund redeemed $468,313,987, which represented approximately 14% of the Fund's net assets as of that date.
Note 15. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings
In December 2005, without admitting or denying the allegations, American Express Financial Corporation (AEFC, which is now known as Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial)) entered into settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Minnesota Department of Commerce (MDOC) related to market timing activities. As a result, AEFC was censured and ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, and various Minnesota laws. AEFC agreed to pay disgorgement of $10 million and civil money penalties of $7 million. AEFC also agreed to retain an independent distribution consultant to assist in developing a plan for distribution of all disgorgement and civil penalties ordered by the SEC in accordance with various undertakings detailed at www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/ia-2451.pdf. Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates have cooperated with the SEC and the MDOC in these legal proceedings, and have made regular reports to the funds' Boards of Trustees.
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make 10-Q, 10-K and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and the Shareholders of Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, 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 Intermediate Bond Fund (the "Fund") (a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I) at April 30, 2012 and at March 31, 2012, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at April 30, 2012 and at March 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

President's Message

Dear Shareholders,
A stock market rally that commenced in the fourth quarter of 2011 continued into 2012 in the United States and around the world, as all major market regions generated double-digit returns for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. Volatility declined sharply as European debt fears quieted somewhat and sentiment improved. Returns in developed countries were buoyed by strong results in Germany, Belgium, Austria and the Nordic markets of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. Under the cloud of its own mounting debt problem, Spain was the only eurozone country to deliver a negative return during the three-month period. Solid economic growth and accommodative monetary policy helped boost gains in emerging markets. The rally in U.S. equities was largely driven by an expansion in "multiples"—an increase in stock prices relative to their earnings. By the end of the first quarter of 2012, stocks no longer appeared as cheap as they were late in 2011. Bonds lagged stocks during the first quarter as investors responded to signs of an improved environment with a greater appetite for risk.
Concerns around the health of the global economy were centered in news headlines focusing on Washington D.C., Europe, China and the Middle East. In the United States, economic indicators remained mixed but generally indicated support for slow, sustainable economic growth. European policymakers have made progress in containing the eurozone debt crisis, though they still have not solved the issue of long-term solvency. The European Central Bank has lowered interest rates and flooded the financial system with liquidity that may provide breathing space for companies to restructure their balance sheets. These massive infusions of liquidity may whet the appetite for risk from investors around the world. However, it has delayed a true reckoning with the European financial situation, as concerns about Spain and Portugal continue to cloud the outlook. These structural challenges that persist in the developed world, and slowing growth in emerging market economies, leave the global economy in a fragile state. Domestic demand, combined with slowing inflationary trends, has also helped to shore up emerging market economies. Joblessness remains low and monetary conditions remain easy.
Despite the challenges and surprises of 2011, we see pockets of strength—and as a result, attractive opportunities—both here and abroad for 2012. We hope to help you capitalize on these opportunities with various articles in our 2012 Perspectives, which is available via the Market Insights tab at columbiamanagement.com. This publication showcases the strong research capabilities and experienced investment teams of Columbia Management and offers a diverse array of investment ideas based on our five key themes for 2012.

The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 4.75% for Class A 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 I and Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees. Class I and Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Please see the fund's prospectuses for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.
*The returns shown for periods prior to the share class inception date (including returns since inception) include the returns of the fund's oldest share class. These returns are adjusted to reflect any higher class-related operating expenses of the newer share classes, as applicable. Please visit columbiamanagement.com/mutual-funds/appended-performance for more information.
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 U.S. Treasury Index Fund
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your fund's expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated 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. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the Actual column. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund's actual return) and then applies the Fund's actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. 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 the period. See "Compare with other funds" below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
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 cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 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 only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.
November 1, 2011—April 30, 2012

Class Z | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,018.00 | | | | 1,023.87 | | | | 1.00 | | | | 1.01 | | | | 0.20 | | |
Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund's most recent fiscal half year and divided by 366.
Expenses do not include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund from the underlying funds in which the Fund may invest (also referred to as "acquired funds"), including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investments vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds).
Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

When a bond is not rated by one of these agencies, it is designated as Not rated. Credit ratings are subjective to opinions and not statements of fact.
The Board of Trustees for Columbia U.S. Treasury Index Fund has approved the change of the fund's fiscal year end from March 31 to April 30. As a result, this report covers the 13-month period since the last annual report. The next report you receive will be for the six-month period from May 1, 2012 through October 31, 2012.
For the 13-month period that ended April 30, 2012, the fund's Class A shares returned 9.52% without sales charge. The fund's benchmark, the Citigroup Bond U.S. Treasury Index, posted a total return of 9.97% over the same period. The fund incurs expenses while the index does not, and fees generally accounted for the difference between the fund's return and that of the index.
Treasuries rallied on Europe's woes and Fed policy
Treasury securities staged a healthy rally over most of the 13 months, primarily as risk-averse investors looked for the safest haven for their money. In the early weeks of the period, the investment environment was quiet, with interest rates showing little change as the market awaited the next monetary policy announcement by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed). In June 2011, the Fed initiated a second round of quantitative easing (QE2), a program in which it purchases government securities in the open market in an effort to inject added financial liquidity into the economy. At the same time that QE2 helped move Treasury rates lower and prices higher, Treasuries received added and even more powerful support when global investors grew more risk-averse with the flare-up of sovereign debt problems in several European countries, most notably Greece. As European debt problems continued over the remaining months of the period and intensified late in the period, Treasury demand grew. Treasuries are regarded in global markets as the world's safest asset class. Even though domestic economic growth was slow, the United States was viewed as the furthest along in recovery among major economies. Not even the August 2011 downgrade of the credit rating for U.S. Treasuries by the Standard & Poor's credit rating service caused much of a blip in the dominant trend. Treasuries retained the reputation as the safest place for money in a time of uncertainty.
As interest rates declined and Treasury prices rallied, the strongest performance came from securities with maturities between five and 10 years. For example, the yield of the 10-year Treasury note fell from 3.43% to 2.16% from March 31, 2011 through March 31, 2012, hitting a low of 1.67% in October 2011. Over the same period, the yield on the 30-year bond declined from 4.50% to 3.27%.
Throughout the period, the fund's performance tracked that of the index. The fund's duration—which is a measure of price sensitivity to changes in interest rates—stayed in line with that of the index. The fund did not own any non-Treasury securities or derivatives.
Looking Ahead
We believe U.S. Treasury rates are likely to move even lower, giving further support to prices. Within the capital markets, the expectation is growing that the Fed will likely announce an additional round of quantitative easing, especially in light of continuing evidence of weak economic growth and little inflation. At the same time, the sovereign

debt problems in Europe appear to be deteriorating, while political turmoil on the continent increases. Worsening conditions in the European economy would cause further problems for the U.S. economy and give added impetus to arguments for more easing of monetary policy. U.S. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke has signaled he wants to see interest rates move even lower to give more traction to the economic 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 that presented for other Columbia Funds.
The value of the fund may be affected by interest rate changes and the creditworthiness of issuers held in the fund. When interest rates go up, bond prices typically drop, and vice versa.
The fund is subject to indexing risk. Your investment in the fund will typically decline in value when its index declines. Since the fund is designed to track its index before fees and expenses, the fund cannot purchase other securities that may help offset declines in its index. In addition, because the fund may not hold all the issues included in its index, may not always be fully invested and bears advisory, administrative and other expenses and transaction costs in trading securities, the fund's performance may fail to match the performance of its index, after taking expenses into account. Security prices in a market, sector or industry may fall, reducing the value of your investment. Fund shares are not guaranteed or backed by the U.S. government or any agency.

Fair Value Measurements | |
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund's assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability's fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.
• Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).
• Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment's fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
Under the direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager's Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for carrying out the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager's organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are readily available, including recommendation of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third-party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.

Fair Value Measurements (continued) | |
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.

The Fund's assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using the market approach, in which a security's value is determined through reference to prices and information from market transactions for similar or identical assets.
There were no significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the period from April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012.

Notes to Financial Statements – Columbia U.S. Treasury Index Fund
April 30, 2012
Note 1. Organization
Columbia U.S. Treasury Index Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Fiscal Year End Change
During the period, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to April 30. Accordingly, this report includes activity for the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012 and the year ended March 31, 2012.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I and Class Z shares. All share classes have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75% based on the initial investment amount. 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 contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months of purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.
Class B shares may be 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. The Fund no longer accepts investments by 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 certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds.
Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within one year of purchase.
Class I shares are not subject to sales charges and are only available to the Columbia Family of Funds.
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges, and are only available to certain investors, as described in the Fund's prospectus.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board) 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 may also be valued based upon an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation.
Investments in other open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at net asset value.
Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of short-term securities originally purchased with maturities greater than 60 days is determined based on an amortized value to par upon reaching 60 days to maturity. Short-term securities maturing in more than 60 days from the valuation date are valued at the market price or approximate market value based on current interest rates.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes
19
Columbia U.S. Treasury Index Fund, April 30, 2012
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. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) 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.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that management has determined are creditworthy. The Fund, through the custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Management 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 a 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.
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.
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Market premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted. Original issue discount is accreted to interest income over the life of the security with a corresponding increase in the cost basis, if any.
Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds 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. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class. Income and expenses are allocated to each class based on the settled shares method, while realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated based on the relative net assets of each class.
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 (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Guarantees and Indemnifications
Under the Trust's organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the
20
Columbia U.S. Treasury Index Fund, April 30, 2012
Fund's contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Note 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates
Investment Management Fees
Under an Investment Management Services Agreement (IMSA), Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), determines which securities will be purchased, held or sold. The management fee is an annual fee that is equal to 0.10% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fees
Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Investment Manager serves as the Fund Administrator. The Fund pays the Fund Administrator an annual fee for administration and accounting services equal to 0.30% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
The Investment Manager, from the administration fee it receives from the Fund, pays all operating expenses of the Fund, with the exception of brokerage fees and commissions, interest, fees and expenses of Trustees who are not officers, directors or employees of the Investment Manager or its affiliates, distribution (Rule 12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees and any extraordinary non-recurring expenses that may arise, including litigation.
Compensation of Board Members
Board members are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. The Trust's eligible Trustees may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) which may be terminated at any time. Obligation of the Plan will be paid solely out of the Fund's assets.
Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer
The Board 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.
Distribution and Service Fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Board has approved, and the Fund has adopted, distribution and shareholder service plans (the Plans) which set the distribution and service fees for the Fund. These fees are calculated daily and are intended to compensate the Distributor and/or eligible selling and/or servicing agents for selling shares of the Fund and providing services to investors.
The Plans require the payment of a monthly service fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the Fund. The Plans also require the payment of a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares, only.
The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the distribution fee for Class C shares so that the combined distribution and service fee does not exceed 0.85% annually of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. This arrangement may be modified or terminated by the Distributor at any time.
Sales Charges
Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares were $310 for Class A, $1,099 for Class B and $390 for Class C for the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012 and $43,610 for Class A, $4,420 for Class B and $454 for Class C shares for the year ended March 31, 2012.
Minimum Account Balance Fee
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
21
Columbia U.S. Treasury Index Fund, April 30, 2012
account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012, no minimum account balance fees were charged to accounts. For the year ended March 31, 2012, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses by $2,020.
Expenses Waived/Reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its Affiliates
The Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below), through July 31, 2012, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board, so that the Fund's net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Fund's custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class' average daily net assets:
Class A | | | 0.45 | % | |
Class B | | | 1.20 | | |
Class C | | | 1.20 | | |
Class I | | | 0.20 | | |
Class Z | | | 0.20 | | |
Under the agreement, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, extraordinary expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from all parties. Class C distribution fees waived by the Distributor, as discussed above, are in addition to the waiver/reimbursement commitment under the agreement.
Note 4. 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 because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
For the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012, these differences are primarily due to differing treatment for deferral/reversal of wash sales, trustees' deferred compensation, distributions, and market discount/premium. For the year ended March 31, 2012, these differences are primarily due to differing treatment for deferral/reversal of wash sales, trustees' deferred compensation, distributions, and market discount/premium. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made among the components of the Fund's net assets in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications. In the Statement of Assets and Liabilities the following reclassifications were made:
| | Period ended April 30, 2012 | | Year ended March 31, 2012 | |
Excess of distributions over | |
net investment income | | $ | 28,836 | | | $ | 780,000 | | |
Accumulated net realized gain | | | (28,836 | ) | | | (844,431 | ) | |
Paid-in capital | | | — | | | | 64,431 | | |
Net investment income and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.
The tax character of distributions paid during the periods indicated was as follows:
| | Period ended April 30, 2012 | | Year ended March 31, 2012 | | Year ended March 31, 2011 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 495,230 | | | $ | 12,047,239 | | | $ | 12,349,475 | | |
Long-term capital gains | | | — | | | | 921,785 | | | | 6,022,213 | | |
Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions for tax purposes.
22
Columbia U.S. Treasury Index Fund, April 30, 2012
At April 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | April 30, 2012 | | March 31, 2012 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 3,088,095 | | | $ | 3,037,260 | | |
Undistributed accumulated long-term gain | | | 4,712,704 | | | | 4,433,943 | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | | 20,360,149 | | | | 15,381,570 | | |
At April 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes, and the aggregate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was as follows:
| | April 30, 2012 | | March 31, 2012 | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation | | $20,434,624 | | $16,156,376 | |
Aggregate unrealized depreciation | | | (74,475 | ) | | | (774,806 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation/depreciation | | 20,360,149 | | 15,381,570 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes | | $ | 398,406,585 | | | $ | 400,432,392 | | |
Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management's conclusion 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). Generally, the Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 5. Portfolio Information
For the period April 1, 2012 to April 30, 2012, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, aggregated to $32,299,833 and $28,407,536, respectively, of which $32,299,833 and $28,407,536, respectively, were U.S. government securities.
For the year ended March 31, 2012, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, aggregated to $453,094,566 and $487,333,426, respectively, of which $438,547,479 and $474,216,989, respectively, were U.S. government securities.
Note 6. Lending of Portfolio Securities
Effective July 25, 2011, the Fund has entered into a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMorgan). The Agreement, which replaces the previous securities lending arrangement with State Street, authorizes JPMorgan as lending agent to lend securities to authorized borrowers in order to generate additional income on behalf of the Fund. Pursuant to the Agreement, the securities loaned are secured by cash or U.S. government securities equal to at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. Any additional collateral required to maintain those levels due to market fluctuations of the loaned securities is requested to be delivered the following business day. Cash collateral received is invested by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund into authorized investments pursuant to the Agreement. The investments made with the cash collateral are listed in the Portfolio of Investments. The values of such investments and any uninvested cash collateral are disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities along with the related obligation to return the collateral upon the return of the securities loaned.
At April 30, 2012, securities valued at $89,555,342 were on loan, secured by U.S. government securities valued at $91,092,795.
At March 31, 2012, securities valued at $110,164,251 were on loan, secured by U.S. government securities valued at $106,848,915 and by cash collateral of $5,928,711 (which does not reflect calls for collateral made to borrowers by JPMorgan at period end) that is partially or fully invested in short-term securities or other cash equivalents.
Risks of delay in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the securities may occur should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Risks may also arise to the extent that the value of the securities loaned increases above the value of the collateral received. JPMorgan will indemnify the Fund from losses resulting from a borrower's failure to return a loaned security when due. Such indemnification does not
23
Columbia U.S. Treasury Index Fund, April 30, 2012
extend to losses associated with declines in the value of cash collateral investments. The Investment Manager is not responsible for any losses incurred by the Fund in connection with the securities lending program. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and are, therefore, not considered to be illiquid investments.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Fund receives income for lending its securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of negotiated rebates paid to borrowers and fees paid to the lending agent for services provided and any other securities lending expenses. Net income earned from securities lending for the period ended April 30, 2012 and the year ended March 31, 2012 is disclosed in the Statement of Operations. The Fund continues to earn and accrue interest and dividends on the securities loaned.
Prior to July 25, 2011, the Fund participated in a securities lending arrangement with State Street. Each security on loan was collateralized in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned plus accrued income from the investment of collateral. The income generated by the investment of the collateral, net of any fees remitted to State Street as the lending agent and borrower rebates, was paid to the Fund.
Note 7. Affiliated Money Market Fund
The Fund may invest its daily cash balances in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds. The income earned by the Fund from such investments is included as "Dividends from affiliates" in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund.
Note 8. Shareholder Concentration
At April 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, one unaffiliated shareholder account owned 32.0% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund has no knowledge about whether any portion of those shares was owned beneficially by such accounts. Affiliated shareholder accounts owned 31.0% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 9. Line of Credit
The Fund has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility became effective on July 25, 2011, replacing a prior credit facility. The credit facility agreement, as amended, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $500 million. Pursuant to a December 13, 2011 amendment to the credit facility agreement, interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (i) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.08% per annum. For the period July 25, 2011 through December 13, 2011, interest was charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the sum of the federal funds rate plus (i) 1.25% per annum plus (ii) if one-month LIBOR exceeds the federal funds rate, the amount of such excess. The Fund also paid a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.10% per annum.
For the period June 27, 2011 through July 24, 2011, the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager participated in a $100 million committed, unsecured revolving credit facility provided by State Street. For the period May 16, 2011 through June 26, 2011, the collective borrowing amount of the credit facility was $150 million committed, unsecured revolving credit facility provided by State Street. Prior to May 16, 2011, the collective borrowing amount of the credit facility was $225 million. Interest was charged to each fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the greater of the (i) federal funds rate plus 1.25% per annum or (ii) the overnight LIBOR rate plus 1.25% per annum. The Fund also paid a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.125% per annum.
The Fund had no borrowings during the period ended April 30, 2012. For the year ended March 31, 2012, the average daily loan balance outstanding on days when borrowing existed was $1,500,000 at a weighted average interest rate of 1.38%.

Note 10. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 11. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings
In December 2005, without admitting or denying the allegations, American Express Financial Corporation (AEFC, which is now known as Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial)) entered into settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Minnesota Department of Commerce (MDOC) related to market timing activities. As a result, AEFC was censured and ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, and various Minnesota laws. AEFC agreed to pay disgorgement of $10 million and civil money penalties of $7 million. AEFC also agreed to retain an independent distribution consultant to assist in developing a plan for distribution of all disgorgement and civil penalties ordered by the SEC in accordance with various undertakings detailed at www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/ia-2451.pdf. Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates have cooperated with the SEC and the MDOC in these legal proceedings, and have made regular reports to the funds' Boards of Trustees.
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make 10-Q, 10-K and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and the Shareholders of Columbia U.S. Treasury Index Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, 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 U.S. Treasury Index Fund (the "Fund") (a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust) at April 30, 2012 and at March 31, 2012, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at April 30, 2012 and at March 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent 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 adopted 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. As set forth in this Fund Policy, a service will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the Fund’s independent auditor; provided, however, that pre-approval of non-audit services to the Fund, the Adviser or Control Affiliates may be waived if certain de minimis requirements set forth in the SEC’s rules 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.
On an annual basis, at a regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting, the Fund’s Treasurer or other Fund Officer shall submit to the Audit Committee a schedule of the types of Fund Services and Fund-related Adviser Services that are subject to specific pre-approval.
This schedule will provide a description of each type of service that is subject to specific pre-approval, along with total projected fees for each service. The pre-approval will generally cover a one-year period. The Audit Committee will review and approve the types of services and the projected fees for the next one-year period and may add to, or subtract from, the list of pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. This specific approval acknowledges that the Audit Committee is in agreement with the types of services that the independent accountants will be permitted to perform.
The Fund’s Treasurer or other Fund Officer 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 with forecasted fees for the annual period, proposed changes requiring specific pre-approval and a description of services provided by the independent auditor with actual fees during the current reporting period.
*****
(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 the one month period ended April 30, 2012 and the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 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 one month period ended April 30, 2012 and the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 are approximately as follows:
April 30, 2012 | | March 31, 2012 | | March 31, 2011 | |
$ | 0 | | $ | 462,200 | | $ | 544,800 | |
| | | | | | | | |
(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 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 material 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.
