President’s Message

Dear Shareholder:
The Columbia Management story began over 100 years ago, and today, we are one of the nation’s largest dedicated asset managers. The recent acquisition by Ameriprise Financial, Inc. brings together the talents, resources and capabilities of Columbia Management with those of RiverSource Investments, Threadneedle (acquired by Ameriprise in 2003) and Seligman Investments (acquired by Ameriprise in 2008) to build a best-in-class asset management business that we believe is truly greater than its parts.
RiverSource Investments traces its roots to 1894 when its then newly-founded predecessor, Investors Syndicate, offered a face-amount savings certificate that gave small investors the opportunity to build a safe and secure fund for retirement, education or other special needs. A mutual fund pioneer, Investors Syndicate launched Investors Mutual Fund in 1940. In the decades that followed, its mutual fund products
and services lineup grew to include a full spectrum of styles and specialties. More than 110 years later, RiverSource continues to be a trusted financial products leader.
Threadneedle, a leader in global asset management and one of Europe’s largest asset managers, offers sophisticated international experience from a dedicated U.K. management team. Headquartered in London, it is named for Threadneedle Street in the heart of the city’s financial district, where British investors pioneered international and global investing. Threadneedle was acquired in 2003 and today operates as an affiliate of Columbia Management.
Seligman Investments’ beginnings date back to the establishment of the investment firm J. & W. Seligman & Co. in 1864. In the years that followed, Seligman played a major role in the geographical expansion and industrial development of the United States. In 1874, President Ulysses S. Grant named Seligman as fiscal agent for the U.S. Navy — an appointment that would last through World War I. Seligman helped finance the westward path of the railroads and the building of the Panama Canal. The firm organized its first investment company in 1929 and began managing its first mutual fund in 1930. In 2008, J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated was acquired and Seligman Investments became an offering brand of RiverSource Investments, LLC.
We are proud of the rich and distinctive history of these firms, the strength and breadth of products and services they offer, and the combined cultures of pioneering spirit and forward thinking. Together we are committed to providing more for our shareholders than ever before.
n | | A singular focus on our shareholders. Our business is asset management, so investors are our first priority.

Performance of a $10,000 investment 07/01/01 – 06/30/11 |

The chart above shows the change in value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Class A shares of Columbia High Yield Municipal Fund during the stated time period, and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares. A $10,000 investment in the Fund since 07/01/01 appreciated to $11,397 on 05/30/03, the inception date of the Barclays Capital High Yield Municipal Bond Index and the Blended Benchmark. For comparison with these indices, we assigned them the same value as the Fund at the indices’ inception date.

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.
All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees. Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Please see the fund’s prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.
Performance results reflect any fee waivers or reimbursements of fund expenses by the Investment Manager and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.
The tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.
Class A, Class B and Class C are newer classes of shares. Class A shares performance information includes the performance of Class Z shares (the oldest existing share class) for periods prior to its inception. Class B and Class C shares performance information includes returns of Class A shares for the period from July 31, 2000 through July 15, 2002, and the returns of Class Z shares for periods prior thereto. These returns reflect differences in sales charges, but have not been restated to reflect any differences in expenses (such as distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees) between Class Z shares (or Class A shares) and the newer classes of shares. If differences in expenses had been reflected, the returns shown for periods prior to the inception of the newer classes of shares would have been lower, since the newer classes of shares are subject to a distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees. Class A shares were initially offered on July 31, 2000, Class B and Class C shares were initially offered July 15, 2002, and Class Z shares were initially offered on March 5, 1984.

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

Class A | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,042.30 | | | | 1,020.53 | | | | 4.35 | | | | 4.31 | | | | 0.86 | |
Class B | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,038.50 | | | | 1,016.81 | | | | 8.14 | | | | 8.05 | | | | 1.61 | |
Class C | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,039.30 | | | | 1,017.55 | | | | 7.38 | | | | 7.30 | | | | 1.46 | |
Class Z | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,043.30 | | | | 1,021.52 | | | | 3.34 | | | | 3.31 | | | | 0.66 | |
Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund’s most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 365.
Had the Investment Manager and/or any of its affiliates not waived fees or reimbursed a portion of expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.
It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Taxable-equivalent SEC yields are based on the maximum effective 35.0% federal income tax rate. This tax rate does not reflect the phase out of exemptions or the reduction of otherwise allowable deductions that occur when adjusted gross income exceeds certain levels.
For the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2011, the fund’s Class A shares returned 3.63% without sales charge. By comparison, the Barclays Capital High Yield Municipal Bond Index returned 5.47%, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index returned 3.48% and the Blended Benchmark (60% Barclays Capital High Yield Municipal Bond Index, 40% Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index) returned 4.67%. The fund beat the 2.96% average return of funds in its peer group, the Lipper High Yield Municipal Debt Funds Classification. The fund’s higher quality bias caused it to trail both its high yield municipal benchmark and the blended benchmark, while its high-yield exposure aided performance relative to the municipal bond benchmark. We believe the fund’s shorter duration and an underweight in the tobacco sector helped it beat the peer group.
Backdrop of a sluggish expansion
As the impact of Japan’s first-quarter natural disasters worked its way through the global supply chain and Europe scrambled, once again, to prop up debtor nations — notably Greece — the pace of economic growth slowed around the world. In the United States, unfriendly spring storms cut a swath of destruction across the Midwest, as well as southern and eastern coastal states, while Washington wrangled over the deficit and the federal debt ceiling.
Against this backdrop, the U.S. economy expanded at an estimated 1.6% over the past 12 months, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP). Growth picked up in the third and fourth quarters of 2010, but concerns emerged as the housing market continued its five-year slide and the job market disappointed with fewer-than-expected new jobs and higher unemployment at the end of the period. Even though news on the job front was positive, the number of new jobs added was significantly below expectations for this stage of an economic recovery. Disappointingly low figures for May and June and a hike in the unemployment rate were especially troubling. Yet, with corporate profits expanding at a solid pace, hope remains for a better second half showing in 2011.
Personal income surged in January as payroll tax cuts kicked in, and it continued to edge higher through the end of the period. With incomes on the rise, consumer spending on cars, clothing and other goods trended upward during the 12-month period. However, rising food and energy costs generally offset income gains and spending, in real terms, was flat to down.
On June 30, 2011, the Federal Reserve Board ended its program of large-scale Treasury purchases aimed at shoring up the economy and building confidence in the markets. Even though it did not do much to lift growth, it quelled fears of a relapse into recession, helping to push stock and commodity prices higher. GDP expanded at a mere 0.40% in the first quarter of 2011 with second quarter growth estimated at 1.3%. The yield on the 10-year U.S Treasury note was 3.20% at period end, not far from where it had started a year earlier, despite declining to 2.38% in October and rising to 3.72% in February.
Strongest returns from high yield
High yield was the best place to be in the municipal bond market this past year. The sector benefited as generally improving economic conditions led to fewer defaults and distressed situations, while continued low interest rates pushed investors toward higher-yielding securities. The broader muni bond market rallied early in the period, buoyed by expectations that demand would increase with the year-end expiration of the Bush tax cuts. Munis, however, retreated
4
Portfolio Manager’s Report (continued) – Columbia High Yield Municipal Fund
between November and January, amid growing fears of widespread defaults by stretched issuers and, later, by the extension of the Bush tax cuts. Muni bonds rallied again in the spring, buoyed by a decline in defaults, very little new issuance and declining yields.
Longer-maturity muni bonds were the year’s weakest performers, pressured by disappointing demand from mutual funds and expectations of increased supply after the expiration of the Build America Bonds (BABs) program, which gave municipalities federal subsidies for issuing taxable bonds.
Cost of higher quality, lower volatility bias
As always, the fund focused on delivering consistent, tax-exempt income for shareholders while limiting volatility. Our emphasis was on selectively adding yield through credit selection. We kept the portfolio diversified across sectors, limited exposure to below-investment-grade names and kept a small cash position to help meet redemptions and take advantage of buying opportunities. The fund’s higher quality bias hampered near-term relative performance as lower quality bonds outperformed over the year. Underweights versus the Barclays Capital High Yield Municipal Bond Index in the more volatile airline and industrial development revenue bond sectors especially hindered results, as both rallied nicely. Underweights in five- and 15-year issues — the best performing maturities in the high-yield muni bond sector — and an overweight in long-maturity bonds also hampered performance.
Lost ground from specific issues
Among the biggest individual detractors were bonds issued by three continuing care retirement centers (CCRCs) that filed for bankruptcy — Sedgebrook and Monarch Landing in Illinois and Linden Ponds in Massachusetts (less than 0.0%, less than 0.0% and 0.6% of net assets, respectively). Distressed bonds issued by special assessment districts in Florida also detracted from performance. We sold bonds issued by Sarasota National Community Development District at a significant loss, but held on to issues from Tolomato Community Development District (0.4% of net assets).
Gains from sector overweight and selected credits
Although the CCRC/hospital sector contained some of the fund’s biggest individual disappointments, these losses were partially offset by an overweight in the sector, which was a strong performer, and solid gains from certain bonds. Among top contributors were bonds issued by CCRCs Good Shepard Village in New York and Aberdeen Heights in Missouri (0.5% and 0.6% of net assets, respectively), both of which rallied as their projects neared completion. Several lower-rated1 (BBB and below) hospital bonds also boosted results, as investors grew more comfortable with the credit outlook for issuers in this segment. Being less sensitive to interest-rate changes than its peers also helped the fund as long-term yields rose. An underweight in high-yield tobacco bonds, which declined following some credit downgrades and worries that defaults could increase as more smokers kicked the habit, also benefited returns.

The Fund is actively managed and the composition of its portfolio will change over time. Top 10 issuers, quality and maturity breakdowns are calculated as a percentage of net assets.
Ratings shown in the quality breakdown are assigned to individual bonds by taking the lower of the ratings available from one of the following nationally recognized rating agencies: Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s Investor Services. If a security is rated by only one of the two agencies, that rating is used. If a security is not rated by either of the two agencies, it is designated as Non-Rated. Ratings are relative and subjective and are not absolute standards of quality. The credit quality of the fund’s investments does not remove market risk.
Cautiously optimistic outlook
Going forward, we expect to see a slow, protracted economic recovery. As economic growth picks up, we believe interest rates will start to move higher and credit spreads — the difference between yields on low and high quality bonds of similar maturities — will likely begin to narrow, especially benefiting returns on bonds with single A and lower credit ratings. In the meantime, we plan to continue looking for opportunities to add yield, while monitoring the credit quality of individual issuers and limiting the fund’s sensitivity to interest-rate changes.
Portfolio characteristics and holdings are subject to change and may not be representative of current characteristics and holdings. The outlook for the fund may differ from those presented for other Columbia Funds.
Tax-exempt investing offers current tax-exempt income, but it also involves special risks. The value of the fund will be affected by interest rate changes and the creditworthiness of issues held in the fund. When interest rates go up, bond prices generally drop and vice versa. Interest income from certain tax-exempt bonds may be subject to certain state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax. Any capital gains distributed are taxable to the investor.
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 inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| Ÿ | | 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. |
| Ÿ | | Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.). |
| Ÿ | | 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 Fund Administrator, 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 Fund Administrator. 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.

Notes to Financial Statements – Columbia High Yield Municipal Fund
June 30, 2011
Note 1. Organization
Columbia High Yield Municipal 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.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, 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 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
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.
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.
Certain debt securities, which tend to be more thinly traded and of lesser quality, are priced based on fundamental analysis of the financial condition of the issuer and the estimated value of any collateral. Valuations developed through pricing techniques may vary from the actual amounts realized upon sale of the securities, and the potential variation may be greater for those securities valued using fundamental analysis.
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 are not reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision
33
Columbia High Yield Municipal Fund
June 30, 2011
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.
Delayed Delivery Securities and Forward Sale Commitments
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 identifies within its portfolio of investments cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.
The Fund may enter into forward sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of forward sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. While a forward sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities or an offsetting forward purchase commitment deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are used to satisfy the commitment.
Unsettled forward sale commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described under “Security Valuation” above. The forward sale commitment is “marked-to-market” daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. If the forward sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or loss. If the Fund delivers securities under the commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the securities based upon the market price established at the date the commitment was entered into.
Restricted Securities
Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale at the issuer’s expense either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions
exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Board. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resale.
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 directly to a 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
34
Columbia High Yield Municipal Fund
June 30, 2011
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 along with the income dividend. 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 Fund. 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. The management fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.45% to 0.40% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The management fee for the year ended June 30, 2011 was 0.41% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
In September 2010, the Board approved an amended IMSA that includes an annual management fee rate that declines from 0.47% to 0.30% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The new IMSA was approved by the Fund’s shareholders at a meeting held on February 15, 2011, and the fee change became effective on July 1, 2011.
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 0.15% to 0.10% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The administrative fee for the year ended June 30, 2011 was 0.11% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
In September 2010, the Board approved an amended Administrative Services Agreement that includes an annual administration fee rate that declines from 0.07% to 0.04% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The amended Administrative Services Agreement became effective on July 1, 2011.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
Prior to May 16, 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 May 16, 2011, these services are now provided under the Administrative Services Agreement discussed above.
Compensation of Board Members
Trustees 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.

Columbia High Yield Municipal Fund
June 30, 2011
Transfer Agent Fees
Under a Transfer Agency 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.
For the year ended June 30, 2011, the Fund’s transfer agent fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
| | | | |
| |
Class A | | | 0.12 | % |
Class B | | | 0.11 | |
Class C | | | 0.12 | |
Class Z | | | 0.12 | |
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Fund’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. For the year ended June 30, 2011, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.
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 0.20% 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 rates 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 0.80% 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 $86,418 for Class A, $5,146 for Class B and $2,768 for Class C for the year ended June 30, 2011.
Expenses Waived/Reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its Affiliates
For the year ended June 30, 2011, the Investment Manager voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of the Fund’s expenses so that the Fund’s net operating expenses (excluding certain expenses, such as any distribution and service fees, brokerage commissions, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) 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, did not exceed 0.65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
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 October 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 each class’ average daily net assets:
| | | | |
| |
Class A | | | 0.80 | % |
Class B | | | 1.55 | |
Class C | | | 1.55 | |
Class Z | | | 0.60 | |
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 other 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.
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. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under income tax regulations.
For the year ended June 30, 2011, permanent and timing book to tax differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities, market discount reclasses, default bond sales and expired capital loss carryforwards were identified and permanent differences reclassed among the components of the Fund’s net assets in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as follows:
| | | | |
| |
Undistributed net investment income | | $ | 204,742 | |
Accumulated net realized loss | | | 493,206 | |
Paid-in capital | | | (697,948 | ) |
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 years indicated was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Year ended June 30, | | 2011 | | | 2010 | |
Tax-Exempt Income | | $ | 40,757,181 | | | $ | 38,819,554 | |
Ordinary Income* | | | 294,879 | | | | 31,988 | |
* | For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions. |
At June 30, 2011, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
| |
Undistributed tax-exempt income | | $ | 7,458,654 | |
Undistributed long-term gain | | | — | |
Unrealized depreciation* | | | (44,683,317 | ) |
* | The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized depreciation are primarily due to deferral of losses from wash sales, AICPA amortization/accretion and market discount. |
At June 30, 2011, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $754,548,621 and the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
| | | | |
| |
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 21,242,379 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (65,925,696 | ) |
| | | | |
Net unrealized depreciation | | $ | (44,683,317 | ) |
The following capital loss carryforward, determined at June 30, 2011, 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 | | Amount | |
2012 | | $ | 1,587,432 | |
2013 | | | 5,621,572 | |
2014 | | | 466,991 | |
2015 | | | 1,471,699 | |
2016 | | | 5,694,295 | |
2017 | | | 17,741,445 | |
2018 | | | 35,721,468 | |
2019 | | | 4,244,605 | |
| | | | |
Total | | $ | 72,549,507 | |
For the year ended June 30, 2011, $697,947 of capital loss carryforward expired unused.
37
Columbia High Yield Municipal Fund
June 30, 2011
It is unlikely the Board will authorize a distribution of any net realized capital gains until the available capital loss carryforward has been offset or expires. There is no assurance that the Fund will be able to utilize all of its capital loss carryforward before it expires.
Under current tax rules, capital losses realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. As of June 30, 2011, post-October losses of $5,918,573 attributed to security transactions were deferred to July 1, 2011.
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
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, aggregated to $169,165,770 and $215,057,863, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2011.
Note 6. Lending of Portfolio Securities
Effective May 16, 2011, the Fund has entered into a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (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 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 June 30, 2011, the Fund had no securities out on loan.
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 year ended June 30, 2011, if any, is disclosed in the Statement of Operations. The Fund continues to earn and accrue interest and dividends on the securities loaned.
Note 7. Custody Credits
Prior to May 16, 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. Effective May 16, 2011, the Fund may invest its daily balance in an affiliated money market fund as detailed below. For the period from July 1, 2010 through May 15, 2011, these credits reduced total expenses by $76.
Note 8. Shareholder Concentration
At June 30, 2011 one shareholder account owned 77.0% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Subscription and redemption activity of this account may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 9. 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
38
Columbia High Yield Municipal Fund
June 30, 2011
purposes. The credit facility became effective on May 16, 2011, replacing a prior credit facility with State Street (as discussed below). The credit facility agreement, 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 $422.5 million. The collective borrowing amount will increase during the third quarter of 2011 to a final collective borrowing amount of $500 million. Interest is charged to each 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. 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 0.10% per annum.
Prior to May 16, 2011, the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager participated in a $225 million committed, unsecured revolving credit facility provided by State Street.
Prior to March 28, 2011, the collective borrowing amount of the credit facility was $280 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.
Prior to October 14, 2010, interest was charged to each participating fund at the same rates. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum was accrued and apportioned among the participating funds pro rata based on their relative net assets.
For the year ended June 30, 2011, the average daily loan balance outstanding on days where borrowing existed was $2,900,000 at a weighted average interest rate of 1.48%.
For the year ended June 30, 2011, the Investment Manager reimbursed the Fund $119 of interest expense.
Note 10. Significant Risks
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.
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.
Geographic Concentration Risk
The Fund had greater than 5% of its total net assets at June 30, 2011, invested in debt obligations issued by each of California (11.2%), Florida (9.9%), Illinois (8.7%) and Texas (7.4%) and their political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities. The Fund is more susceptible to economic and political factors adversely affecting issuers of these states’ or territories’ municipal securities than are municipal bond funds that are not concentrated to the same extent in these issuers.
Tax Development Risk
The Fund purchases municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of bond counsel, is free from federal income tax. There is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will agree with this opinion. In the event the IRS determines that an issuer does not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued. As a shareholder of the Fund, you may be required to file an amended tax return as a result.
Note 11. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued. Other than as noted in Note 3 and Note 9 above, there were no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 12. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings
In June 2004, an action captioned John E. Gallus et al. v. American Express Financial Corp. and American Express Financial Advisors Inc. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of
39
Columbia High Yield Municipal Fund
June 30, 2011
Arizona. The plaintiffs allege that they are investors in several American Express Company mutual funds (branded as Columbia or RiverSource) and they purport to bring the action derivatively on behalf of those funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The plaintiffs allege that fees allegedly paid to the defendants by the funds for investment advisory and administrative services are excessive. The plaintiffs seek remedies including restitution and rescission of investment advisory and distribution agreements. The plaintiffs voluntarily agreed to transfer this case to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (the District Court). In response to defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint, the District Court dismissed one of plaintiffs’ four claims and granted plaintiffs limited discovery. Defendants moved for summary judgment in April 2007. Summary judgment was granted in the defendants’ favor on July 9, 2007. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals (the Eighth Circuit) on August 8, 2007. On April 8, 2009, the Eighth Circuit reversed summary judgment and remanded to the District Court for further proceedings. On August 6, 2009, defendants filed a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court (the Supreme Court), asking the Supreme Court to stay the District Court proceedings while the Supreme Court considers and rules in a case captioned Jones v. Harris Associates, which involves issues of law similar to those presented in the Gallus case. On March 30, 2010, the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Jones v. Harris Associates, and on April 5, 2010, the Supreme Court vacated the Eighth Circuit’s decision in the Gallus case and remanded the case to the Eighth Circuit for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v. Harris Associates. On June 4, 2010, the Eighth Circuit remanded the Gallus case to the District Court for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v. Harris Associates. On December 9, 2010, the District Court reinstated its July 9, 2007 summary judgment order in favor of the defendants. On January 10, 2011, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit. In response to the plaintiffs’ opening appellate brief filed on March 18, 2011, the defendants filed a response brief on May 4, 2011 with the Eighth Circuit. The plaintiffs filed a reply brief on May 26, 2011.
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 Directors/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 High Yield Municipal Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Columbia High Yield Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) (a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I) at June 30, 2011, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at June 30, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

President’s Message

Dear Shareholder:
The Columbia Management story began over 100 years ago, and today, we are one of the nation’s largest dedicated asset managers. The recent acquisition by Ameriprise Financial, Inc. brings together the talents, resources and capabilities of Columbia Management with those of RiverSource Investments, Threadneedle (acquired by Ameriprise in 2003) and Seligman Investments (acquired by Ameriprise in 2008) to build a best-in-class asset management business that we believe is truly greater than its parts.
RiverSource Investments traces its roots to 1894 when its then newly-founded predecessor, Investors Syndicate, offered a face-amount savings certificate that gave small investors the opportunity to build a safe and secure fund for retirement, education or other special needs. A mutual fund pioneer, Investors Syndicate launched Investors Mutual Fund in 1940. In the decades that followed, its mutual fund products
and services lineup grew to include a full spectrum of styles and specialties. More than 110 years later, RiverSource continues to be a trusted financial products leader.
Threadneedle, a leader in global asset management and one of Europe’s largest asset managers, offers sophisticated international experience from a dedicated U.K. management team. Headquartered in London, it is named for Threadneedle Street in the heart of the city’s financial district, where British investors pioneered international and global investing. Threadneedle was acquired in 2003 and today operates as an affiliate of Columbia Management.
Seligman Investments’ beginnings date back to the establishment of the investment firm J. & W. Seligman & Co. in 1864. In the years that followed, Seligman played a major role in the geographical expansion and industrial development of the United States. In 1874, President Ulysses S. Grant named Seligman as fiscal agent for the U.S. Navy — an appointment that would last through World War I. Seligman helped finance the westward path of the railroads and the building of the Panama Canal. The firm organized its first investment company in 1929 and began managing its first mutual fund in 1930. In 2008, J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated was acquired and Seligman Investments became an offering brand of RiverSource Investments, LLC.
We are proud of the rich and distinctive history of these firms, the strength and breadth of products and services they offer, and the combined cultures of pioneering spirit and forward thinking. Together we are committed to providing more for our shareholders than ever before.
n | | A singular focus on our shareholders. Our business is asset management, so investors are our first priority. We dedicate our resources to identifying timely investment opportunities and provide a comprehensive choice of equity, fixed-income and alternative investments to help meet your individual needs. |
n | | First-class research and thought leadership. We are dedicated to helping you take advantage of today’s opportunities and anticipate tomorrow’s. We stay abreast of the latest investment trends and ideas, using our collective insight to evaluate events and transform them into solutions you can use. |
n | | A disciplined investment approach. We aren’t distracted by passing fads. Our teams adhere to a rigorous investment process that helps ensure the integrity of our products and enables you and your financial advisor to match our solutions to your objectives with confidence. |
When you choose Columbia Management, you can be confident that we will take the time to understand your needs and help you and your financial advisor identify the solutions that are right for you. Because at Columbia Management, we don’t consider ourselves successful unless you are.
Sincerely,

J. Kevin Connaughton
President, Columbia Funds

The “with sales charge” returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% 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 Manager 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, Class Y 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 (Rule 12b-1) fee. Class I, Class R, Class Y and Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Please see the fund’s prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.
The tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.
The returns for Class Y shares include the returns for Class Z shares for the periods prior to July 15, 2009. The returns shown have not been adjusted to reflect any differences in expenses between Class Y shares and Class Z shares. Class Y shares commenced operations on July 15, 2009. Class I and Class R shares commenced operations on September 27, 2010.

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

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund’s most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 365.
Had the Investment Manager and/or any of its affiliates not waived fees or reimbursed a portion of expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.
It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The fund is actively managed and the composition of its portfolio will change over time. Information provided is calculated as a percentage of net assets.
For the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2011, the fund’s Class A shares returned 30.67% without sales charge. By comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index, returned 31.35%. The average return of competing funds was 32.03%, as measured by the Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Classification. Sector allocations aided results versus the index, as the fund favored sectors that would benefit from a gradual economic recovery. Stock selection, however, nicked performance mainly due to underperformance in financials and materials. We believe our focus on high quality small-cap companies with strong balance sheets and good cash flows whose stocks were selling at a discount hindered performance versus the Lipper peer group, as many of the fund’s competitors had larger average market caps and higher exposure to lower quality stocks, both of which outperformed higher quality smaller caps. In addition, stocks whose prices were generally outperforming beat the out-of-favor types of names the fund tends to own.
Backdrop of a sluggish expansion
As the impact of Japan’s first-quarter natural disasters worked its way through the global supply chain and Europe scrambled, once again, to prop up debtor nations — notably Greece — the pace of economic growth slowed around the world. In the United States, unfriendly spring storms cut a swath of destruction across the Midwest, as well as southern and eastern coastal states, while Washington wrangled over the deficit and the federal debt ceiling.
Against this backdrop, the U.S. economy expanded at an estimated 1.6% over the past 12 months, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP). Growth picked up in the third and fourth quarters of 2010, but concerns emerged as the housing market continued its five-year slide and the job market disappointed with fewer-than-expected new jobs and higher unemployment at the end of the period. Even though news on the job front was positive, the number of new jobs added was significantly below expectations for this stage of an economic recovery. Disappointingly low figures for May and June and a hike in the unemployment rate were especially troubling. Yet, with corporate profits expanding at a solid pace, hope remained for a better second half showing in 2011.
Personal income surged in January as payroll tax cuts kicked in, and it continued to edge higher through the end of the period. With incomes on the rise, consumer spending on cars, clothing and other goods trended upward during the 12-month period. However, rising food and energy costs generally offset income gains and spending, in real terms, was flat to down.
On June 30, 2011, the Federal Reserve Board ended its program of large-scale Treasury purchases aimed at shoring up the economy and building confidence in the markets. Even though it did not do much to lift growth, it quelled fears of a relapse into recession and helped push stocks sharply higher. The buyback program also led to a strong rise in commodity prices and a reduction in interest rates. GDP expanded at a mere 0.40% in the first quarter of 2011 with second quarter growth estimated at 1.3%.
Small-cap stocks outperform large
Stocks rallied sharply for the first six months of the period, but were more volatile in the second half as weather-related events in Japan and the U.S. distorted some year-over-year comparisons. Riskier assets — including small-cap stocks — benefited once the Fed decided to pump more liquidity into the system through the Treasury purchase program. Materials and energy were among the top performing sectors in the Russell 2000 Value Index. Health care stocks also generated robust gains, as investors began realizing that health care reform was not going to be the headwind they had originally expected. Within the index, all three sectors posted returns of 50% or more for the year.

Portfolio Managers’ Report (continued) – Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I
Biggest gains from energy and health care
Strong security selection in the energy sector had the biggest positive impact on performance. Top contributors included International Coal, a coal producer that was taken over at a big premium, and Stone Energy (0.8% of net assets), a domestic oil and gas producer benefiting from drilling success and an acquisition that significantly improved its reserve position. International Coal was no longer held at period end. The fund also picked up ground from having an overweight in health care, where performance nearly matched that of the sector within the index. Top contributors included Healthspring (1.2% of net assets), a managed care company that recently made a big acquisition and benefited from favorable investor sentiment.
Underperformance from financials and materials
The fund lost ground versus the index in financials, where lower interest rates hurt many of its holdings. Disappointments included Bank Mutual (0.4% of net assets), a thrift in Wisconsin, and Knight Capital (0.6% of net assets), a capital markets company. Bank Mutual was hurt by increased loan delinquencies, as home prices continued to decline and the state’s economic conditions remained distressed. Knight Capital suffered as trading volumes fell. Returns from the materials sector were quite strong, but lagged those in the index. The fund, however, offset some of this underperformance by having an overweight in this leading sector and holding some strong performers. Among the latter was OM Group (1.2% of net assets), a company that supplies cobalt, which is used in rechargeable batteries. OM Group moved sharply higher, thanks to strong sales growth, driven by growing demand for rechargeable batteries. Elsewhere, detractors included office supply store OfficeMax (0.4% of net assets), which missed first-quarter earnings estimates due to weak employment trends. In industrials, Broadwind Energy (0.3% of net assets), which supplies towers and gear for wind turbines, fell short of expectations, due in part to uncertainty around the tax benefits for wind farms.
Positioned for slow improvement in economy
Going forward, we expect continued general improvement in the economy, although we think growth will be slow. The fund ended the period with modest overweights in more economically sensitive sectors, such as technology, materials, energy and industrials. Whether or not the market remains volatile in the near term, we plan to stick with our long-term focus on high quality companies with strong balance sheets, tremendous free cash flow and reasonably valued stocks. Although the market has had a strong run this past year, we continue to find attractively priced securities that meet these investment criteria.
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.
Equity securities are subject to stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments.
Investments in small-cap stocks may be subject to greater volatility and price fluctuations because they may be thinly traded and less liquid than investments in larger companies.
Value stocks are stocks of companies that may have experienced adverse business or industry developments or may be subject to special risks that have caused the stocks to be out of favor. If the manager’s assessment of a company’s prospects is wrong, the price of its stock may not approach the value the manager has placed on it.

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:
| Ÿ | | 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. |
| Ÿ | | Level 2 – Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.). |
| Ÿ | | 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 Fund Administrator, 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.
Foreign equity securities actively traded in markets where there is a significant delay in the local close relative to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) are classified as Level 2. The values of these securities may include an adjustment to reflect the impact of significant market movements following the close of local trading, as described in Note 2 to the financial statements – Security Valuation.
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 Fund Administrator. 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.
The following table is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2011:

Notes to Financial Statements – Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I
June 30, 2011
Note 1. Organization
Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I (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.
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 Y, and Class Z shares. On December 10, 2010, affiliated fund of funds managed by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), exchanged Class Z shares valued at $24,288,164 for Class I 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 5.75% 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 I shares commenced operations September 27, 2010.
Class R shares are not subject to sales charges and are available to qualifying institutional investors. Class R shares commenced operations September 27, 2010.
Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges and are available only 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.
Security Valuation
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.
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.
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
26
Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I
June 30, 2011
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 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 contracts are valued based upon the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board. 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 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.

Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I

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 equity linked futures contracts to maintain appropriate equity market exposure while keeping sufficient cash to accommodate daily redemptions. 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.
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
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.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
The Fund receives information regarding the character of distributions received from real estate investment trusts (REITs) on an annual basis. Distributions received from REITs are allocated among dividend income, capital gain and return of capital based upon such information or based on management’s estimates if actual information has not yet been reported. Management’s estimates are subsequently adjusted when the actual character of the distributions are disclosed by the REITs which could result in a proportionate increase in returns of capital to shareholders.
Awards from class action litigation are recorded as a reduction of cost if the Fund still owns the applicable securities on the payment
28
Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I

date. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other 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, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.
Federal Income Tax Status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income, if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no 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.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed along with the income dividend. 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 Fund. 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), the Investment Manager determines which securities will be purchased, held or sold. In September 2010, the Board approved an amended IMSA that includes an annual management fee rate that declines from 0.79% to 0.70% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The amended IMSA became effective on April 30, 2011. Prior to April 30, 2011, the management fee was equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declined from 0.80% to 0.70% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The effective management fee for the year ended June 30, 2011 was 0.74% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Administration Fees
Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Investment Manager serves as the Fund Administrator. In September 2010, the Board approved an amended Administrative Services Agreement that includes an annual fee for administration and accounting services equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.08% to 0.05% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The amended Administrative Services Agreement became effective on April 30, 2011. Prior to April 30, 2011, the Fund Administrator did not receive a fee of its services under the Administrative Services Agreement. The effective administrative fee for the year ended June 30, 2011 was 0.01% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
Prior to March 28, 2011, the Fund had entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the Financial Reporting Services
29
Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I
June 30, 2011
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 March 28, 2011, these services are now provided under the Administrative Services Agreement discussed above.
Compensation of Board Members
Trustees 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 Agency 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 year ended June 30, 2011, the Fund’s effective transfer agent fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
| | |
| | |
Class A | | 0.19% |
Class B | | 0.19 |
Class C | | 0.19 |
Class R | | 0.17 |
Class Y | | 0.00 |
Class Z | | 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 on the Statement of Operations. For the year ended June 30, 2011, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.
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 of Trustees 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 rates of 0.75% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B and
30
Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I
June 30, 2011
Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares.
Sales Charges
Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares were $315,838 for Class A, $19,950 for Class B and $3,509 for Class C for the year ended June 30, 2011.
Expenses Waived/Reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its Affiliates
Effective April 30, 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 October 31, 2012, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees, 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 each class’ average daily net assets:
| | |
| | |
Class A | | 1.37% |
Class B | | 2.12 |
Class C | | 2.12 |
Class I | | 0.97 |
Class R | | 1.62 |
Class Y | | 1.12 |
Class Z | | 1.12 |
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 other 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 of Trustees. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from all parties.
For the period September 27, 2010 through April 30, 2011, the Investment Manager voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain expenses, such as brokerage
commissions, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) 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, did not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of each class’ average daily net assets:
| | |
| | |
Class A | | 1.35% |
Class B | | 2.10 |
Class C | | 2.10 |
Class I | | 0.95 |
Class R | | 1.60 |
Class Y | | 1.10 |
Class Z | | 1.10 |
Prior to September 27, 2010, the Investment Manager voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of the Fund’s expenses so that the Fund’s net operating expenses (excluding certain expenses, such as any distribution and service fees, brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses), after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s custodian, did not exceed 1.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets on an annualized basis.
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. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under income tax regulations.
For the year ended June 30, 2011, permanent and timing book to tax differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment company (PFIC) holdings, re-characterization of real estate investment trust (REIT) distributions, redemption based payments treated as eligible for the dividends paid deduction, and losses deferred due to wash sales were identified and permanent differences reclassed among the components of the Fund’s net assets in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as follows:
| | |
| | |
Excess of distributions over net investment income | | $ 66,571 |
Accumulated net realized gain | | (6,123,588) |
Paid-in capital | | 6,057,017 |
31
Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I
June 30, 2011
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 years indicated was as follows:
| | | | |
Year ended June 30, | | 2011 | | 2010 |
Ordinary income* | | $19,271,086 | | $6,405,327 |
Long-term capital gain | | 6,213,315 | | — |
* | For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions. |
At June 30, 2011, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | |
| | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ 26,576,390 |
Undistributed accumulated long-term gain | | 80,920,061 |
Unrealized appreciation* | | 360,183,059 |
* | The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation are primarily due to deferral of losses from wash sales and PFIC adjustments. |
At June 30, 2011, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $1,992,650,829 and the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
| | |
| | |
Unrealized appreciation | | $457,313,754 |
Unrealized depreciation | | (97,130,695) |
| | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $360,183,059 |
The following capital loss carryforward, determined at June 30, 2011, 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 | | Amount |
2012 | | $1,233,446 |
2016 | | 238,113 |
| | |
Total | | $1,471,559 |
For the year ended June 30, 2011, $15,289,495 of capital loss carryforward was utilized.
Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I acquired $358,925 of capital loss carryforward in connection with the RiverSource Disciplined Small Cap Value Fund’s merger (Note 12). In addition to the acquired
capital loss carryforward, the Fund also acquired unrealized capital gains as a result of the merger. The yearly utilization of the acquired capital loss carryforward may be limited by the Internal Revenue Code.
There is no assurance that the Fund will be able to utilize all of its capital loss carryforward before it expires.
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
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, aggregated to $613,254,808 and $539,096,660, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2011.
Transactions to realign the Fund’s portfolio following the merger as described in Note 12 are excluded for purposes of calculating the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate. These realignment transactions amounted to cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of $29,706,370 and $32,373,811, respectively.
Note 6. Regulatory Settlements
During the year ended June 30, 2010, the Fund received payments of $4,978 resulting from certain regulatory settlements with third parties in which the Fund had participated. The payments have been included in “Increase from regulatory settlements” in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.
Note 7. Lending of Portfolio Securities
Effective March 28, 2011, the Fund has entered into a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (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 delivered the following
32
Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I
June 30, 2011
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 June 30, 2011, securities valued at $387,420,558 were on loan, secured by cash collateral of $394,087,530 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 year ended June 30, 2011 is disclosed in the Statement of Operations. The Fund continues to earn and accrue interest and dividends on the securities loaned.
Note 8. Custody Credits
Prior to March 28, 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. Effective March 28, 2011, the Fund may invest its daily balance in an affiliated money market fund as detailed below. For the period from July 1, 2010 through March 27, 2011, these credits reduced total expenses by $88.
Note 9. Affiliated Money Market Fund
Effective March 28, 2011, the Fund may invest its daily cash balances in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, a 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 10. Shareholder Concentration
At June 30, 2011 the Investment Manager and/or affiliates owned 100% of Class I shares.
As of June 30, 2011, one shareholder account owned 14.3% of the outstanding shares of the fund. Purchase and redemption activity of this account 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 March 28, 2011, replacing a prior credit facility with State Street (as discussed below). The credit facility agreement, 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 $422.5 million. The collective borrowing amount will increase during the third quarter of 2011 to a final collective borrowing amount of $500 million. Interest is charged to each 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. 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 0.10% per annum.
Prior to March 29, 2011, the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager participated in a $280 million committed, unsecured revolving credit facility provided by State Street. 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
33
Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I
June 30, 2011
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.
Prior to October 14, 2010, interest was charged to each participating fund at the same rates. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum was accrued and apportioned among the participating funds pro rata based on their relative net assets.
For the year ended June 30, 2011, the average daily loan balance outstanding on days where borrowing existed was $1,811,111 at a weighted average interest rate of 1.47%.
Note 12. Fund Merger
At the close of business on June 3, 2011, Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I acquired the assets and assumed the identified liabilities of RiverSource Disciplined Small Cap Value Fund. 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 Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I immediately before the acquisition were $1,873,264,948 and the combined net assets immediately after the acquisition were $1,915,994,081.
The merger was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 4,604,408 shares of RiverSource Disciplined Small Cap Value Fund valued at $42,729,133 (including $4,256,611 of unrealized appreciation).
In exchange for RiverSource Disciplined Small Cap Value Fund shares, Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I issued the following number of shares:
| | | | |
| | | |
| | Shares | |
Class A | | | 84,483 | |
Class B | | | 3,912 | |
Class C | | | 3,642 | |
Class I | | | 817,679 | |
Class R | | | 94 | |
For financial reporting purposes, net assets received and shares issued by Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I were recorded at fair value; however, RiverSource Disciplined Small Cap Value Fund’s cost of investments was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
The financial statements reflect the operations of Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I 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 RiverSource Disciplined Small Cap Value 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 July 1, 2010 Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I’s pro-forma net investment income, net gain on investments, net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and net increase in net assets from operations for the year ended June 30, 2011 would have been approximately $7.9 million, $142.1 million, $310.9 million and $460.9 million, respectively.
Note 13. Significant Risks
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.
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 in Note 11 above, there were no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 15. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings
In June 2004, an action captioned John E. Gallus et al. v. American Express Financial Corp. and American Express Financial Advisors Inc. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. The plaintiffs allege that they are investors in several American Express Company mutual funds (branded as Columbia or RiverSource) and they purport to bring the action derivatively on behalf of those funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The plaintiffs allege that fees allegedly paid to the defendants by the funds for investment advisory and administrative services are excessive. The plaintiffs seek remedies including restitution and rescission of investment advisory and distribution agreements. The plaintiffs voluntarily agreed to transfer this case to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (the District Court). In response to defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint, the District
34
Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I
June 30, 2011
Court dismissed one of plaintiffs’ four claims and granted plaintiffs limited discovery. Defendants moved for summary judgment in April 2007. Summary judgment was granted in the defendants’ favor on July 9, 2007. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals (the Eighth Circuit) on August 8, 2007. On April 8, 2009, the Eighth Circuit reversed summary judgment and remanded to the District Court for further proceedings. On August 6, 2009, defendants filed a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court (the Supreme Court), asking the Supreme Court to stay the District Court proceedings while the Supreme Court considers and rules in a case captioned Jones v. Harris Associates, which involves issues of law similar to those presented in the Gallus case. On March 30, 2010, the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Jones v. Harris Associates, and on April 5, 2010, the Supreme Court vacated the Eighth Circuit’s decision in the Gallus case and remanded the case to the Eighth Circuit for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v. Harris Associates. On June 4, 2010, the Eighth Circuit remanded the Gallus case to the District Court for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v. Harris Associates. On December 9, 2010, the District Court reinstated its July 9, 2007 summary judgment order in favor of the defendants. On January 10, 2011, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit. In response to the plaintiffs’ opening appellate brief filed on March 18, 2011, the defendants filed a response brief on May 4, 2011 with the Eighth Circuit. The plaintiffs filed a reply brief on May 26, 2011.
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 Directors/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 Small Cap Value Fund I
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Columbia Small Cap Value Fund I (the “Fund”) (a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I) at June 30, 2011, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at June 30, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The registrant’s Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the engagement of the registrant’s independent accountants to provide audit and non-audit services to the registrant and non-audit services to its investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with such investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant (“Adviser Affiliates”), if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant.
The Audit Committee has 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. Unless a type of service receives general pre-approval under the Policy, it requires specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the independent accountants. Pre-approval of non-audit services to the registrant, the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) and Adviser Affiliates may be waived provided that the “de minimis” requirements set forth under paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X are met.
Under the Policy, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to any pre-designated member or members who are Independent Trustees/Directors. The member(s) to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next regular meeting. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities with respect to the pre-approval of services performed by the independent accountants may not be delegated to management.
The Policy requires the Fund Treasurer and/or Director of Board Administration to submit to the Audit Committee, on an annual basis, a schedule of the types of services that are subject to general pre-approval. The schedule(s) provide a description of each type of service that is subject to general pre-approval and, where possible, will provide estimated fee caps for each instance of providing each service. The Audit Committees will review and approve the types of services and review the projected fees for the next fiscal year and may add to, or subtract from, the list of general pre-approved services from time to time based on subsequent determinations. That approval acknowledges that the Audit Committee is in agreement with the specific types of services that the independent accountants will be permitted to perform.
The Fund Treasurer and/or Director of Board Administration shall report to the Audit Committee at each of its regular meetings regarding all Fund Services or Fund-related Adviser Services initiated since the last such report was rendered, including a general description of the services, actual billed and projected fees, and the means by which such Fund Services or Fund-related Adviser Services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
*****
(e)(2) The percentage of services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item approved pursuant to the “de minimis” exception under paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X during both fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 was zero.
(f) Not applicable.
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 are approximately as follows:
| | |
2011 | | 2010 |
$530,400 | | $1,442,000 |
(h) The registrant’s Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
Item 5. | Audit Committee of Listed Registrants. |
Not applicable.
| (a) | The registrant’s “Schedule I – Investments in securities of unaffiliated issuers” (as set forth in 17 CFR 210.12-12) is included in Item 1 of this Form N-CSR. |

Not applicable.
Item 8. | Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies. |
Not applicable.
Item 9. | Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers. |

There were no material changes to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the registrant’s board of directors.
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. |
