(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, 2007 (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 that 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 and exchange traded funds 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) | | |
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.
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 taxable as ordinary income (loss). Such paydown gains and losses increase or decrease taxable ordinary 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 upon 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 forward exchange contracts; and (iii) gains and losses from the difference between amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded and the amounts actually received. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on securities and derivative instruments are not segregated in the Statements of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities and derivative instruments, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on securities and derivative instruments. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arising from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates are included as increases and decreases in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency related transactions.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) | | |
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, futures contracts, written options, when-issued securities and forward commitments represent examples of such transactions. As a result of entering into these transactions, the Funds are required to segregate liquid assets 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 the securities 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 the Funds may be delayed or limited and there may be a decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Funds seek to assert their rights. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Funds’ custodian.
F. Futures Contracts — Certain Funds may enter into futures transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, currency exchange rates or to seek to increase total return. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price, or in the absence of a sale, the last bid 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, the Funds are required to segregate 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 Funds, 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 Funds realize 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. These risks may decrease the effectiveness of the Funds’ strategies and potentially result in a loss.
G. 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 |
H. 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) | | |
I. Federal Taxes — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with Federal income tax rules, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Therefore, the source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income, net realized gains, or as a tax return of capital.
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.
J. 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 and are reflected on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets as a reduction in share redemptions.
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, 2007, 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.
56
COMMERCE FUNDS
| | |
3. AGREEMENTS (continued) | | |
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 rates:
| | |
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, at least until October 31, 2007, such that Management Fees would not exceed 0.97% of the average daily net assets.
For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Adviser agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses exclusive of any custody expense reductions) 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%, 0.70% and 0.70% 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. Prior to March 1, 2007, the Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond and Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Funds expense limitations were 0.65% and 0.65%, respectively. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse the Adviser for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. Such expense reimbursements, if any, are computed daily and paid monthly.
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, as amended. 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%.

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, 2007, Commerce Bank has retained approximately $390,700 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.

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, Goldman Sachs received approximately $4,600 of brokerage commissions earned from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions, executed on behalf of the International Equity Fund.
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, 2006, 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:

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is primarily attributable to wash sales and differing treatment of accretion of market discount and premium amortization.
Approval of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements — 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 agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) with Commerce Investment Advisors, Inc. (the “Adviser”) for the Funds and the investment sub-advisory agreement (“Sub-Advisory Agreement,” and together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”) with AllianceBernstein L.P. (the “Sub-Adviser”) for the International Equity Fund.
The Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Funds were 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 14-15, 2006 (“Annual Contract Meeting”).

8. OTHER MATTERS (continued) | | |
In preparation for the Trustees’ consideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreement at the Annual Contract Meeting, the Trustees reviewed information regarding the following topics at a meeting held on August 8, 2006 (the “August Meeting”): the qualifications of the sub-Adviser to provide investment advisory services to the Funds, its policies regarding brokerage, trade allocations and similar matters and the investment performance of the International Equity Fund.
Prior to the August and Annual Contract Meetings, the Board of Trustees received written materials provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser relating to the Trustees’ consideration of these Agreements, and at these meetings, the Trustees also considered the Adviser’s and Sub-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 in executive sessions with independent counsel without members of management present.
In evaluating the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements at the August and the Annual Contract Meetings, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, their services and the Funds. Both in meetings specifically dedicated to the review of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements and meetings held during the year, the Trustees reviewed materials relating to the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s investment management services. These materials included: (i) information on the investment performance of the Funds in comparison to other similar mutual funds and benchmark performance indices; (ii) general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Funds invest; (iii) compliance reports; and (iv) expenses borne by the Funds.
Specifically in connection with the Trustees’ approval of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed, among other things, information relating to: (i) the terms of the Agreements; (ii) the Funds’ investment performance over different time periods in comparison to the investment performance of mutual fund peer groups and categories selected by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), a third-party provider of mutual fund data; (iii) the contractual investment advisory fees, the actual investment advisory fees (after voluntary waiver and expense reimbursements) and the total expenses borne by the Funds in comparison to those borne by mutual fund peer groups and categories selected by Lipper; (iv) the investment advisory fees charged by the Sub-Adviser to its institutional accounts; (v) the scope and depth of the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s resources; (vi) the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s staffing for the Funds and the experience of the portfolio managers; (vii) the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s financial resources and their ability to attract and retain portfolio management talent; (viii) the fees paid by the Funds to the Adviser and its affiliates for services, and the expenses incurred by them in connection with the provision of those services; (ix) the benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds; (x) potential economies of scale; and (xi) the fees paid by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser for services to the International Equity Fund, and the expenses incurred by the Sub-Adviser for those services. In addition, the Trustees considered the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s willingness to meet with representatives of the Board of Trustees outside of the Board meetings in preparation for the Annual Contract Meeting and to provide information requested by the Trustees.

8. OTHER MATTERS (continued) | | |
In connection with their approval of the Advisory Agreement for each of the Funds and the Sub-Advisory Agreement for the International Equity Fund, the Trustees gave weight to 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 and Sub-Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services, and the other non-advisory services, that are provided to the Funds by the Adviser. These services include services as the Funds’ Co-Administrator. The Trustees also considered that many of the Funds’ shareholders had other client relationships with affiliates of the Adviser. The Trustees concluded that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser was able to commit, and had committed, substantial financial and other resources to the operations of the Funds and were able to provide quality services to the Funds. In addition, the Trustees concluded that the Adviser had committed substantial resources to monitor the Sub-Adviser’s investment performance and compliance program. The Trustees also believed that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser had made significant commitments to address regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Funds, and, with regard to the Asset Allocation Fund, the Trustees determined that the advisory services provided to that Fund were not duplicative of any advisory services provided at the underlying fund level.
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, the Trustees considered whether the Funds had operated within their respective investment objectives, as well as their compliance with their investment restrictions. They also compared the investment performance of the Funds to the performance of other SEC-registered funds and to rankings and ratings issued by third parties. For Funds that had been in existence for the applicable periods, this information on the Funds’ investment performance was provided for one, three, five and ten years. In addition, the Trustees considered the Funds’ investment performance relative to their respective performance benchmarks and in light of the objectives and credit parameters applicable to the Funds, as well as the investor base the Funds are intended to serve. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the consistency of the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s investment approach for the Funds.
In particular, they considered the Adviser’s efforts to improve its quantitative investment model during the year, which had resulted in improved performance of most of the Equity Funds and the Asset Allocation Fund. They also considered the recent improvement in the Bond and Short-Term Government Funds and the continued strong performance of the Tax-Free Funds over the ten-year period.
Based on the information provided, the Trustees believed that the investment performance of the Funds was, in general, competitive in light of the factors mentioned above, including the Funds’ investment policies and the nature of their shareholder base. In reaching this conclusion, the Trustees also reviewed, among other things, the relative performance of the Funds as compared to the mutual fund categories established by third parties, and their benchmarks for different time periods. They also noted again the potential impact of the relative risk parameters of the different Funds. For example, the Short-Term Government Fund did not invest in any corporate debt. The Trustees concluded that Commerce was devoting appropriate resources in its efforts to provide favorable investment results for the Funds.

8. OTHER MATTERS (continued) | | |
The Trustees also considered the Funds’ contractual advisory fee rates; the Funds’ total operating expense ratios; the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s voluntary fee waivers and expense reimbursements with respect to the Funds; and whether a consistent methodology was in place in determining the fees and expenses of the respective Funds. In addition, the Trustees considered the fees paid by the Funds to the Adviser and its affiliates for shareholder servicing and Co-Administration services, and reviewed information as to whether the Adviser and Sub-Adviser had passed, and were likely to continue to pass, benefits from their economies of scale to shareholders. In this regard, the Trustees considered the Adviser’s view that the Funds may be sharing in economies of scale through the Adviser’s voluntary expense caps for certain of the Funds and the fact that the Adviser was not charging any advisory fees to the Asset Allocation Fund. In addition, the Trustees considered the level of assets in the Funds, which had been declining over the past 18 months; the information provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser relating to their costs of the services provided by them and the profits realized by them as well as their profits in comparison to published profitability rates of other investment advisers; and information comparing the fee rates charged by the Adviser (which does not include fee breakpoints) and the Sub-Adviser (which does include breakpoints) with the fee rates charged by other, unaffiliated investment managers to their clients. The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s efforts to reduce Fund expenses, including reductions negotiated in custodian, fund accounting and transfer agent fees as well as other cost reductions implemented by the Adviser. Moreover, the Trustees also considered the Adviser’s profitability in the past year in light of Fund asset levels.
The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser on its use of and benefits from soft dollars in connection with the Funds’ brokerage, noting that the Sub-Adviser did not use soft dollars with respect to the International Equity Fund’s trades. The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s efforts to achieve best execution on behalf of the Funds and their review policies.
Information on the services rendered by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser to the Funds, the fee rates paid by the Funds under the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements and the Funds’ total operating expense ratios were compared to similar information for other mutual funds advised by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser and other, unaffiliated investment management firms. Many of the comparisons of the Funds’ fee rates and total operating expense ratios were prepared by Lipper. These comparisons assisted the Trustees in evaluating the reasonableness of the investment advisory fees paid by the Funds. Information was also provided on the fee rates charged by the Sub-Adviser to institutional accounts it manages. In addition, the Trustees noted the Adviser’s voluntary and contractual undertakings to limit certain Funds’ total expenses ratios to specified levels and the Sub-Adviser’s contractual fee waiver.
After deliberation, the Trustees concluded at the Annual Contract Meeting with respect to all of the funds, that the fees paid by funds were reasonable in light of the services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, their costs and the Funds’ current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels, and that the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements should be approved and continued.

8. OTHER MATTERS (continued) | | |
New Accounting Pronouncements — On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Recent SEC guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in Fund net asset value calculations as late as the Fund’s last net asset value calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the Funds will incorporate FIN 48 in their April 30, 2008 semiannual report. At this time, the investment adviser is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.
On September 15, 2006, the FASB released Statement Financial Accounting Standard No. 157 “Fair Value Measurement” (“FAS 157”) which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard requires companies to provide expanded information about the assets and liabilities measured at fair value and the potential effect of these fair valuations on an entity’s financial performance. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances, but provides clarification on acceptable fair valuation methods and applications. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The investment adviser does not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures will be required.
Fund Liquidation — At a meeting held on May 9, 2007, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved a proposal to liquidate the Commerce Core Equity Fund pursuant to a board-approved Plan of Liquidation. It is expected that the Fund will be liquidated in July 2007.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited) – Six Months Ended April 30, 2007
As a shareholder of the Funds you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, 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, 2006 through April 30, 2007.
Actual Expenses — The first line 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 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 net expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended 4/30/07. 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 net expense ratios for the period were as follows: |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | | | | | | Fund | | | |
Core Equity | | 1.11 | % | | | | Bond | | 0.83 | % |
Growth | | 1.13 | | | | | Short-Term Government | | 0.68 | |

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.
Growth 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. Investments in technology companies, who may produce or use products or services that prove commercially unsuccessful or become obsolete, may be subject to greater price volatility than securities of companies in other sectors.
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. Investments in technology companies, who may produce or use products or services that prove commercially unsuccessful or become obsolete, may be subject to greater price volatility than securities of companies in other sectors.
MidCap Growth Fund:
The Fund invests in small- and mid-capitalization securities. Generally, smaller and mid-sized companies are more vulnerable to adverse developments because of more limited product lines, markets or financial resources. As a result, the securities of smaller and mid-sized companies involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic trading and 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 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.

COMMERCE FUNDS
The Commerce Funds
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.
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. Investments in municipal securities can be significantly affected by political changes as well as uncertainties in the municipal market related to taxation or legislative changes. 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 invests its assets predominately in Missouri bonds. The actual payment of principal and interest on these bonds is dependent on the Missouri General Assembly allotting money each fiscal year for these payments. 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. Investments in municipal securities can be significantly affected by political changes as well as uncertainties in the municipal market related to taxation or legislative changes.

Investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities including credit and interest rate risk. The Fund invests its assets predominately in Kansas bonds. The actual payment of principal and interest on these bonds is dependent on the Kansas legislature allotting money each fiscal year for these payments. 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. Investments in municipal securities can be significantly affected by political changes as well as uncertainties in the municipal market related to taxation or legislative changes. 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.
