(1) | | Returns assume fee waivers and expense reductions and are not annualized. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. |
(2) | | Effective March 1, 2006, the Fund changed its benchmark from the MSCI® EAFE® (gross) Index to the MSCI® EAFE® (net) Index (unhedged). The Fund made this change because the Fund’s investment adviser believes that the MSCI® EAFE® (net) Index is the most commonly used of the two indexes by funds with similar investment objectives and strategies. The unmanaged MSCI® EAFE® (net) Index is a market capitalization-weighted composite of securities in 21 developed markets outside of North America, in Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. The Index includes the minimum possible dividend reinvestment. The Index figures do not reflect the deduction of any fees, expenses or taxes.

Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2006 (Unaudited)
The Commerce Funds (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust consists of eleven portfolios (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”): Core Equity Fund, Growth Fund, Value Fund, MidCap Growth Fund, International Equity Fund, Asset Allocation Fund, Bond Fund, Short-Term Government Fund, National Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund, Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund and Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund. Each of the Funds offers one class of shares, Institutional Shares. Each Fund is registered as a diversified management investment company, other than the Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund and the Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund, which are registered as non-diversified under the 1940 Act.
Prior to February 3, 2006, each Fund offered two classes of shares, Institutional Shares and Service Shares. On February 3, 2006, all outstanding Service Shares were converted into Institutional Shares. Immediately after and as a result of the conversion, each holder of Service Shares of a Fund was an owner of Institutional Shares of the same Fund with an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the Service Shares of such holder so converted.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | | |
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Investment Valuation — Investments in equity securities and exchange traded funds traded on a U.S. or foreign securities exchange or the NASDAQ National Market System or for investments in securities traded on a foreign securities exchange for which an independent service is not available are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If no sale occurs, such securities are valued at the last bid price. Debt securities are valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services, broker/dealer-supplied valuations or matrix pricing systems. Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price. Short-term debt obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. In addition, the impact of events that occur after the publication of market quotations used by a Fund to price its securities but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange will be reflected in a Fund’s next determined NAV if the Trust, in its discretion, determines to make an adjustment in light of the nature and significance of the event, consistent with applicable regulatory guidelines. Upon such determination the Fund utilizes a price from an independent service, if available. The independent 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 currency exchange rates. Securities for which quotations are not readily available or are deemed not to reflect market value by the Adviser are valued at fair value using methods approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
The Asset Allocation Fund invests in a combination of underlying funds (the “Underlying Funds”), including Funds advised by the Adviser. Investments in the Underlying Funds (other than those that are exchange traded) are valued at the closing net asset value per share of each Underlying Fund on the day of valuation. Because the Asset Allocation Fund invests primarily in other mutual funds, which fluctuate in value, the Fund’s shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value.
Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls and delayed settlements, and their prices may be more volatile than those of comparable securities in the United States.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) | | |
B. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions and purchases and sales of the Funds and of the Underlying Funds by the Asset Allocation Fund are reflected as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities of the Funds and on sales of the Underlying Funds are calculated using the identified-cost basis. Dividend income and capital gains distributions of the Funds and from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign withholding taxes, if any, which are reduced by any amounts reclaimable by the Funds, where applicable. In addition, it is the Funds’ policy to accrue for estimated capital gains taxes on foreign securities held by the Funds, which are subject to taxes. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted.
The Bond and Short-Term Government Funds invest in mortgage-backed securities. Certain mortgage security paydown gains and losses are recorded as interest income (loss). Such paydown gains and losses increase or decrease income available for distribution and are classified as interest income in the accompanying Statements of Operations. For all Funds, market discounts, original issue discounts (“OID”) and market premiums on debt securities are amortized to interest income over the life of the security with a corresponding adjustment in the cost basis of that security. OID amortization on mortgage-backed REMIC (Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit) securities is initially recorded based on estimates of principal paydowns using the most recent OID factors available from the issuer.
C. Foreign Currency Translations — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) investment valuations, foreign currency and other assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based on current exchange rates; and (ii) purchases and sales of foreign investments, income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions will represent: (i) foreign exchange gains and losses from the sale and holdings of foreign currencies; (ii) currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions and foreign exchange contracts; and (iii) gains and losses from the difference between amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded and the amounts actually received. Net unrealized gain (loss) on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arises from changes in the value of assets and liabilities.
D. Segregation Transactions — As set forth in the prospectus, certain Funds may enter into certain derivative transactions; some of these transactions may be for the purpose of increasing total return. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, written options, futures contracts, when-issued securities and forward commitments represent examples of derivative transactions. As a result of entering into these transactions, the Funds are required to segregate liquid assets on the books of their custodian or deliver such assets to the respective counterparty, with a current value equal to or greater than the market value of the corresponding transactions.
E. Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at a mutually agreed upon date and price. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Funds, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the seller defaults or becomes insolvent, realization of the collateral by each Fund may be delayed or limited and there may be a decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Fund’s custodian.
F. Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — Certain Funds may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date as a hedge or cross-hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio positions. The Funds may also purchase and sell forward contracts to seek to increase total return. All commitments are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable translation rates and any resulting

unrealized gains or losses are recorded in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds record realized gains and losses at the time a forward contract is offset by entry into a closing transaction or extinguished by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
The contractual amounts of forward foreign currency contracts do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. At February 28, 2006, the International Equity Fund had segregated sufficient cash and/or securities to cover any commitments under these contracts.
G. Futures Contracts — Certain Funds may enter into futures translations to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities currency exchange rates or to seek to increase total return. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with a broker or the Fund’s custodian bank on behalf of the broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirement of the associated futures exchange. Subsequent payments for futures contracts (“variation margin”) are paid or received by the Fund, dependent on the fluctuations in the value of the contracts, and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses. When contracts are closed, the Fund realizes a gain or loss which is reported in the Statement of Operations.
The use of futures contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of market and counterparty risk which may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Changes in the value of a futures contract may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. This risk may decrease the effectiveness of the Fund’s strategies and potentially result in a loss.
H. Dividend Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid according to the following schedule:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Income Distribution | | Capital Gains Distribution |
Fund | | Declared | | Paid | | Declared | | Paid |
Core Equity, Value and Asset Allocation | | Quarterly | | Quarterly | | Annually | | Annually |
Growth, MidCap Growth and International Equity | | Annually | | Annually | | Annually | | Annually |
Bond, Short-Term Government, National Tax-Free Intermediate Bond, Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond and Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond | | Daily | | Monthly | | Annually | | Annually |
I. Expenses — Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Fund of the Trust are allocated to the Funds based on each Fund’s relative average daily net assets.
J. Federal Taxes — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company tax-exempt and taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, no federal tax provisions are required. The amount of these income distributions to shareholders, which are calculated in accordance with relevant tax requirements, can often differ from the amounts of the Funds’ net investment income for financial reporting purposes, which is calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with Federal income tax rules. Therefore, the source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income or net realized gain, or from tax return of capital.
54
COMMERCE FUNDS

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) | | |
In addition, distributions paid by the Funds’ investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) often include a “return of capital” which is recorded by the Funds as a reduction of the cost basis of the securities held. The Code requires a REIT to distribute at least 95% of its taxable income to investors. In many cases, however, because of “non-cash” expenses such as property depreciation, a REIT’s cash flow will exceed its taxable income. The REIT may distribute this excess cash to offer a more competitive yield. This portion of the Fund’s distributions are deemed a return of capital and is generally not taxable to shareholders.
K. Redemption Fees — If Institutional shares of the International Equity Fund are redeemed or exchanged within 30 days of purchase, a redemption fee of 2% may be assessed on the proceeds of the transaction. For this purpose, the Fund uses a first-in first-out method so that shares held longest will be treated as being redeemed first and shares held shortest will be treated as being redeemed last. The redemption fee may be collected by deduction from the redemption proceeds or, if assessed after the redemption transaction, through a separate billing. The redemption fee will be paid to the International Equity Fund and is intended to limit short-term trading in the Fund or, to the extent that short-term trading persists, to impose the costs of that type of activity on the shareholders who engage in it. Redemption fees are reimbursed to the Fund as a reduction in share redemptions and are reflected on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.
The Funds have entered into an Advisory Agreement with Commerce Investment Advisors, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Commerce”), a subsidiary of Commerce Bank, N.A. (“Commerce Bank”). Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is responsible for managing the investments and making investment decisions for each of the Funds. For these services and for assuming related expenses, the Adviser is entitled to a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at the contractual annual rate of the corresponding Fund’s average daily net assets. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the Adviser had contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee for certain Funds. The contractual annual rate, effective annual rate and waiver rates, and amounts are listed on the following pages.
As authorized by the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser has entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with AllianceBernstein L.P. (the “Sub-Adviser”) whereby the Sub-Adviser manages the investment assets of the International Equity Fund.
As compensation for services rendered under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser is entitled to a fee from the Adviser at the following annual rate:
| | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Annual Rate |
First $25 million | | 0.80% |
Next $25 million | | 0.65% |
Next $50 million | | 0.55% |
Next $100 million | | 0.45% |
Over $200 million | | 0.40% |
The Sub-Adviser has entered into a Waiver Agreement with the Adviser under which it will agree to waive its sub-advisory fee to 0.58% of the average daily net assets of the Fund until the earlier of (1) the Fund’s assets are in excess of $150 million; and (2) the eighteen-month anniversary of the new Sub-Advisory Agreement. On the last day of the calendar month following whichever of these events occurs first, the sub-advisory fee will adjust to the schedule set forth above. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fees under a waiver agreement during the current fiscal year, such that Management Fees would not exceed 0.97% of the average daily net assets.

3. AGREEMENTS (continued) | | |
For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the Adviser agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses exclusive of any expense offset arrangements) to the extent that such expenses exceeded, on an annualized basis, 1.13%, 1.13%, 1.20%, 1.72%, 0.35%, 0.88%, 0.68%, 0.70%, 0.65% and 0.65% of the average net assets of the Institutional Shares of the Core Equity, Growth, Value, International Equity, Asset Allocation, Bond, Short-Term Government, National Tax-Free Intermediate Bond, Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond and Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Funds, respectively. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse the Adviser for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management (“GSAM”), a business unit of the Investment Management Division of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), and Commerce, serve as Co-Administrators of the Trust pursuant to a Co-Administration Agreement dated March 1, 2005. Under the Co-Administration Agreement, GSAM and Commerce administer the Trust’s business affairs. As compensation for the services rendered under the Co-Administration Agreement, GSAM and Commerce are entitled to a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at the contractual annual rate of the corresponding Fund’s average daily net assets. Pursuant to the Co-Administration Agreement, the Funds will pay an aggregate administrative fee at the annual rate of 0.15%, allocated as follows: (1) for each Fund, GSAM is entitled to receive 0.03% of each Fund’s average daily net assets; and (2) for each Fund, Commerce is entitled to receive 0.12% of each Fund’s average daily net assets other than for the Asset Allocation fund for which it waives 0.07% and receives 0.05%.
In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian resulting in a reduction in the Funds’ expenses. Such expense reimbursements, if any, are computed daily and paid monthly.
For the six months ended April 30, 2006, a summary of the Advisory fees, Administration fees, associated waivers, expense reimbursements and custody credits are as follows:

Intermediate Bond Fund and the Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund was 2.00%; for all other Funds’ Service Shares, the maximum sales charge was 3.50%. Such sales loads were paid directly to Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs has advised the Trust that it retained approximately $170 on the sale of Service Shares of the Funds for the period ended February 3, 2006. The Service Shares were converted into Institutional Shares on February 3, 2006 and no Service Shares were outstanding after that date.
Pursuant to a Shareholder Administrative Services Plan adopted by its Board of Trustees, the Funds may enter into agreements with service organizations, such as banks and financial institutions, which may include the Adviser and its affiliates (“Service Organizations”), under which they will render shareholder administration support services. For these services, the Service Organizations are entitled to receive fees from a Fund at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of Fund shares beneficially owned by clients of such Service Organizations. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, Commerce Bank has retained approximately $638,000 in shareowner servicing fees.

4. OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES | | |
Certain Trustees participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended and restated (the “Plan”), which allows eligible non-affiliated Trustees as described in the Plan to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the Trustees’ fees payable. Under the Plan, such Trustees have deferred fees treated as if they had been invested by The Commerce Funds in the shares of one or more Funds of the Trust. All amounts payable to the Trustees under the Plan are accrued at least quarterly and determined based on the performance of such investments.

As a result of the National Tax-Free Intermediate Bond, Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond and Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Funds’ (each, a “Tax-Free Fund” and collectively the “Tax-Free Funds”) ability to invest a large percentage of their assets in obligations of issuers within certain states, they are subject to possible concentration risks associated with economic, political or legal developments or industrial or regional matters specifically affecting such states.
Under normal market conditions, the National Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund invests at least 80% of its assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) in municipal securities issued by or on behalf of the states, the District of Columbia or the U.S. Government, and their respective authorities, agencies, instrumentalities and political sub-divisions, the income from which is exempt from regular federal income and federal alternative minimum taxes. The Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund and the Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund invest at least 80% of their assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) in Missouri and Kansas municipal securities, respectively, the income from which is exempt from regular federal income tax, federal alternative minimum taxes and Missouri and Kansas state taxes, respectively. Alternatively, at least 80% of the Tax-Free Funds’ distributed income must be exempt from such taxes.
For each of the Missouri and Kansas Tax-Free Funds, the actual payment of principal and interest on Missouri and Kansas municipal securities is dependent on the Missouri General Assembly and the Kansas legislature, respectively, allotting money each fiscal year for these payments.
The International Equity Fund may invest a portion of its assets in emerging markets. Emerging markets securities may be more volatile than securities from more developed countries. At times, the securities held by the International Equity Fund may be subject to abrupt and severe price declines.
The investments of the Asset Allocation Fund are concentrated in underlying funds and the Fund’s investment performance is directly related to the investment performance of the underlying funds held by it.
As of the Funds’ most recent fiscal year end, October 31, 2005, the Funds’ capital loss carryforwards and certain timing differences on a tax basis were as follows. Expiration occurs on October 31 of the year indicated:

Approval of Advisory Agreement — The Trustees oversee the management of the Trust, and review the investment performance and expenses of the Funds at regularly scheduled meetings held during the Funds’ fiscal year. In addition, the Trustees determine annually whether to reapprove and continue the Trust’s investment advisory agreements (“Advisory Agreements”) with the Adviser for the Funds and the investment sub-advisory agreement (“Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with the Sub-Adviser for the International Equity Fund.
The Advisory Agreement for the Funds was most recently approved by the Trustees, including all of the Trustees who are not parties to the Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) of any party thereto (the “non-interested Trustees”), on November 9, 2005 (the “November Meeting”). The Sub-Advisory Agreement was initially approved by the Trustees, including a majority of independent Trustees, at a meeting held on May 11, 2005. The initial term of the Sub-Advisory Agreement does not expire until November 30, 2006 and was therefore not subject to reapproval at the November Meeting.
Prior to the November Meeting the Trustees received written presentations provided by the Adviser relating to the Trustees’ consideration of the Advisory Agreement, and at the Meeting, the Trustees also considered the Adviser’s oral

presentations and discussed the information that had been provided. In connection with their deliberations, the Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities under applicable law and met separately with independent counsel without members of management present.
In considering whether to reapprove the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees examined various factors, but did not identify any single factor as controlling their decision. As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered the Adviser’s compliance record and cooperation in all respects with the Trustees’ requests for information. They also considered (i) the Adviser’s commitment to provide shareholders with seasoned, professional portfolio management teams, (ii) the scope and quality of its in-house research and investment programs, and (iii) the consistency and discipline of the Adviser’s money management processes. In particular, the Trustees discussed the steps the Adviser had taken to improve its quantitative investment management models for certain of the Equity Funds during the year. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser had conducted an extensive and through search during the year for a new sub-adviser to the International Equity Fund and had added personnel in connection with oversight of the Sub-Adviser and management of the International Equity Fund. Overall, the Trustees believed that the Adviser had allocated substantial resources and personnel, and had made significant financial commitments, to the investment management and other operations of the Funds, and was able to provide quality services to the Funds.
The Trustees also considered the Funds’ contractual advisory fee rates; the Funds’ total operating expense ratios (as well as the expense reductions associated with the Adviser’s recommendation to eliminate to the Funds’ Service Shares Class); the Adviser’s voluntary fee waivers and expense reimbursements with respect to the Funds; and whether a consistent methodology was in place in determining fees and expenses of the Funds. With respect to the Asset Allocation Fund, the Trustees determined that the advisory services being provided to the Fund were not duplicative of services being provided at the underlying Fund level and noted that the Adviser was not charging any advisory fee with respect to the Fund. The Trustees also considered, with respect to the International Equity Fund, that the Adviser paid the Sub-Adviser out of its investment advisory fees.
With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees determined that the Funds had benefited from shared expenses and could continue to benefit if assets grew. The Trustees also considered the extent to which the Adviser had passed on and was likely to continue to pass on benefits from its economies of scale to shareholders. In this regard, the Trustees considered the amount of assets in the Funds; the information provided by the Adviser relating to costs of the services provided by the Adviser and the profits realized; the Adviser’s profitability in relation to the profitability of other investment advisers; and information comparing fee rates charged by the Adviser (which do not include fee breakpoints) with fee rates charged by other, unaffiliated investment managers to their clients. The Trustees also considered the benefits accruing to the Adviser and its affiliates through Shareholder Administrative Services Plan payments to the Adviser’s affiliates and the Co-Administration Agreement fees to the Adviser.
Information on the services rendered by the Adviser to the Funds, the fees paid by the Funds under the Advisory Agreement and the Funds’ total operating expense ratios were compared to similar information for other unaffiliated mutual fund firms. These comparisons were prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. and assisted the Trustees in evaluating the reasonableness of the investment advisory fees paid by the Funds. Information also was provided on the brokerage and research services received by the Adviser in connection with placement of brokerage transactions on behalf of the Funds.
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees compared the investment performance of the Funds to the performance of other Securities and Exchange Commission-registered funds and to rankings and ratings issued by third-party consultants. The Trustees considered the investment performance of the Funds in light of their respective benchmarks, objectives and credit parameters applicable to the Funds and the investor base the Funds are intended to serve. The Trustees believed that the Adviser was appropriately monitoring and responding to the investment performance of the Funds to achieve competitive returns for long-term investors. In particular, the Trustees noted the steps that the Adviser had taken during the year to improve the performance of the Value, MidCap Growth,

Growth and Asset Allocation Funds. In addition, the Trustees considered the consistency in the Adviser’s investment approach for the Funds. With respect to the International Equity Fund, the Trustees noted the steps taken by the Adviser to improve performance by engaging a new Sub-Adviser during the year.
After deliberation, the Trustees concluded that the fees paid by the Funds were reasonable in light of the services provided by the Adviser, its costs and the Funds’ current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels, and that the Advisory Agreement should be reapproved and continued.

Total return would be reduced if sales or redemption charges were taken into account. Total returns for periods less than one full year are not annualized. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that the shareholder would pay on capital gains or other taxable distributions or the redemption of fund shares. |
(c) | | As required, effective November 1, 2001, the Fund has adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing/accreting premiums and discounts on debt securities. The effect of this change for the year ended October 31, 2002 was an impact of less than $0.01 to net investment income, net realized and unrealized gains and losses, and an increase to the ratio of net investment income to average net assets with and without expense reductions by 0.02%.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited) – Six Months Ended April 30, 2006
As a shareholder of the Funds you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees (with respect to the International Equity Fund); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees shareholder servicing fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2005 through April 30, 2006.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees, or exchange fees, but shareholders of other funds may incur such costs. For example, the information does not reflect redemption fees in Institutional Shares of the International Equity Fund. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* | | Expenses are calculated using each Fund’s annualized expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended 4/30/06. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the year. The annualized expense ratios for the period were as follows: |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Institutional | | | | | Fund | | Institutional | |
Core Equity | | 1.12 | % | | | | Bond | | 0.85 | % |
Growth | | 1.13 | | | | | Short-Term Government | | 0.68 | |
Value | | 1.20 | | | | | National Tax-Free Intermediate Bond | | 0.70 | |
MidCap Growth | | 1.22 | | | | | Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond | | 0.65 | |
International Equity | | 1.72 | | | | | Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond | | 0.65 | |
Asset Allocation | | 0.35 | | | | | | | | |
+ | | Hypothetical expenses are based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. |

COMMERCE FUNDS
The Commerce Funds
Core Equity Fund:
The Fund is subject to market risk so that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospectus of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions.
The Fund may invest in foreign securities. Foreign investments may be more volatile than investments in U.S. securities and will be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and political developments.
Growth Fund:
The Fund invests in mid-capitalization securities. The securities of mid-capitalization companies involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements.
Value Fund:
The Fund is subject to market risk so that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions.
MidCap Growth Fund:
The Fund invests in mid-capitalization securities. The securities of mid-capitalization companies involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements.
International Equity Fund:
The Fund’s foreign investments may be more volatile than an investment in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of currency fluctuation and political development.
Asset Allocation Fund:
The ability of the Asset Allocation Fund to meet is objective is directly related to the ability of the Underlying Funds to meet their objectives as well as the allocation among those funds by the manager of the Asset Allocation Fund. An investment in the Asset Allocation Fund will involve not only the expenses of the Fund itself but a proportionate share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds (including operating costs and investment management fees). The cost of this type of investment may be higher than a mutual fund that only invests in stocks and bonds. The particular underlying funds in which the Fund may invest, the equity/fixed income targets and ranges, and the investments in each underlying Fund may be changed from time to time without shareholder approval. An investment in the Commerce Asset Allocation Fund will be subject to the same risks as the underlying Commerce equity and fixed income funds in which the Fund invests. In particular, the Fund will be subject to the risk of declining stock prices, fluctuations in interest rates, and the potentially greater volatility of non-U.S. investments.
Bond Fund:
Investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities including credit and interest rate risk. The guarantee on U.S. government securities applies only to the underlying securities of the Fund if held to maturity and not to the value of the Fund’s shares. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risks, which may result in greater share price volatility. Asset-backed securities may be less liquid than other securities and therefore more difficult to value and liquidate, if necessary. Foreign investments may be more volatile than investment in U.S. securities and will be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and political developments.

COMMERCE FUNDS
The Commerce Funds
Short-Term Government Fund:
Investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities including credit and interest rate risk. The guarantee on U.S. government securities applies only to the underlying securities of the Fund if held to maturity and not to the value of the Fund’s shares. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risks. These risks may result in greater share price volatility.
National Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund
Investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities including credit and interest rate risk. The Fund’s investments may subject shareholder to the federal alternative minimum tax and state income taxes.
Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund:
Investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities including credit and interest rate risk. The Fund is non-diversified. Due to the small number of bonds generally held in the portfolio, the Fund may be subject to greater risks than a more diversified fund. A change in the value of any single holding may affect the overall value more than it would affect a diversified fund that holds more investments. In addition, the Fund’s investments may subject shareholders to federal alternative minimum tax. The investment income from this Fund may be subject to state income taxes.
Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund:
Investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities including credit and interest rate risk. The Fund is non-diversified. Due to the smaller number of bonds generally held in the portfolio, the Fund may be subject to greater risks than a more diversified fund. A change in the value of any single holding may affect the overall value more than it would affect a diversified fund that holds more investments. In addition, the Fund’s investments may subject shareholders to federal alternative minimum tax. The investment income from this Fund may be subject to state income taxes.
