Market Overview
The high yield market experienced six consecutive months of positive returns in the period, generating a return of 5.01% for the six month period ended April 30, 2006, as measured by the Merrill Lynch US High Yield Master II Constrained benchmark. Low-rated securities outperformed the broader market, with a return of nearly 10%, while the more interest rate sensitive BB rated securities underperformed, returning about 3%. The average yield spread between high yield bonds and Treasury securities narrowed 68 basis points, ending the period at 303 basis points.
All sectors within the benchmark posted positive returns, with Airlines, Theaters, and Building Materials leading the way. Auto performance was volatile. The sector was the largest detractor from market performance for February 2006 and November 2005, but the largest contributor to performance in January 2006 and March 2006. Sectors that underperformed the index included Utilities and Energy.
Credit fundamentals continued to be supportive of the high yield market. Moody's default rate has remained low, drifting from 1.96% in November 2005 to 1.65% for the month of April 2006. In addition, the high yield distressed ratio, a leading indicator for future default rates, remained low at 2.8% for April 2006. The technical environment continued to be constructive as well. The new issue calendar remained light for most of the period, and even though it has picked up with several large deals more recently, market technicals were generally firm as cash from coupon and bond redemptions appeared to outpace supply.

Strategic Review
The Fund's Common Class and Class A Shares outperformed in the period, while the Class B and C Shares were in line with the benchmark, benefiting from an underweighting in the more interest rate sensitive BB rated securities. The Fund's overweighting in higher yielding securities provided a positive contribution to return as well.
Strong security selection in the Broadcast, Cable, Packaging, Steel and Utility sectors also aided in positive relative performance. Security selection in Autos and Health Services detracted from returns.
Outlook and Strategy
We remain cautiously optimistic for high yield returns for the remainder of 2006. Robust economic growth, low defaults, and a below average distressed ratio provide the backdrop for a favorable fundamental outlook in our view. In addition, the new issue calendar has remained light, leading to a strong technical demand. Though yield spreads are still near historic lows, we believe the market conditions support current levels and believe that they could remain range-bound going forward. With yields hovering in the 8% area, coupon income generation alone could potentially provide attractive returns.
While the Fund has benefited recently from its underweighting in the more interest rate sensitive BB rated securities, if Treasuries continue to weaken we may look for optimal entry points to partially narrow the degree of underweighting in the future. We will also look to use the market's strength as an opportunity to exit some less liquid, deteriorating credits.

High-yield bonds are lower-quality bonds that are also known as "junk bonds." Such bonds entail greater risks than those found in higher-rated securities.
In addition to historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements, which may concern, among other things, domestic and foreign market, industry and economic trends and developments and government regulation and their potential impact on the Fund's investment portfolio. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and actual trends, developments and regulations in the future and their impact on the Fund could be materially different from that projected, anticipated or implied. The Fund has no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements.

Returns represent past performance and include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Past performance cannot guarantee future results. The current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the figures shown. Returns and share price will fluctuate, and redemption value may be less than original cost. The performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Performance information current to the most recent month-end is available at www.credit-suisse.com/us.
1 Fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements may reduce expenses for the Fund, without which performance would be lower. Waivers and/or reimbursements may be discontinued at any time.
2 Total return for Class A shares for the reporting period, based on offering price (including maximum sales charge of 4.75%), was 0.29%. Total return for Class B shares for the reporting period, based on redemption value (including maximum contingent deferred sales charge of 4%), was 1.06%. Total return for Class C shares for the reporting period, based on redemption value (including maximum contingent deferred sales charge of 1%), was 4.01%.
3 The Merrill Lynch US High Yield Master II Constrained Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of below investment-grade U.S. dollar-denominated corporate bonds issued in the U.S. domestic market, where each issuer's allocation is limited to 2% of the index. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. In order to ensure that the index the fund is benchmarked against is best aligned with the fund's emphasis on diversification and risk management, effective February 28, 2006, this index replaces the Citigroup High-Yield Market Index, a broad-based, unmanaged index of high-yield securities that is compiled by Citigroup Global Markets Inc.
4 The Lipper High Yield Bond Funds Index is an equal-weighted performance index, adjusted for capital-gain distributions and income dividends, of the largest qualifying funds classified by Lipper Inc. as investing primarily in high yield debt securities.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses
As an investor of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section and which would result in higher total expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The table is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six month period ended April 30, 2006.
The table illustrates your Fund's expenses in two ways:
• Actual Fund Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund using the Fund's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses 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 "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.
• Hypothetical 5% Fund Return. This helps you to compare your Fund's ongoing expenses with those of other mutual funds using the Fund's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical fund return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year period, then divided by 365.
The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" and the "Annualized Expense Ratios" in the tables are based on actual expenses paid by the Fund during the period, net of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. If those fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements had not been in effect, the Fund's actual expenses would have been higher.

Credit Suisse High Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2006 (unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
Credit Suisse High Income Fund (the "Fund"), a portfolio of the Credit Suisse Opportunity Funds (the "Trust"), a Delaware business trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified open-end management investment company that seeks to provide a high level of current income and, secondarily, capital appreciation. The Trust was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware as a business trust on May 31, 1995.
The Fund is authorized to offer four Classes of shares: Common Class, Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares. Each class of shares represents an equal pro rata interest in the Fund, except that they bear different expenses which reflect the differences in the range of services provided to them. Effective December 12, 2001, Common Class shares closed to new investments, except for reinvestments of dividends. Common Class shareholders may continue to hold Common Class shares but may not add to their accounts. Although no further shares can be purchased, shareholders can redeem their Common Class shares through any available method. Class A shares are sold subject to a front-end sales charge up to 4.75%. Class B shares are sold subject to a contingent deferred sales charge which declines from 4.00% to zero depending on the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares are sold subject to a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0 0% if redeemed within the first year of purchase.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
A) SECURITY VALUATION — The net asset value of the Fund is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. Debt securities with a remaining maturity greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the price supplied by a pricing service, which may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration market indices, yield curves and other specific adjustments. Debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless it is determined that using this method would not represent fair value. The Fund's equity investments are valued at market value, which is generally determined using the closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation (the "Valuation Time"). If no sales are re ported, equity investments are generally valued at the most recent bid quotation as of the Valuation Time or at the lowest asked quotation in the case of a short sale of securities. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund's closing net asset value
33
Credit Suisse High Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2006 (unaudited)
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
per share on the day of valuation. Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the Fund's Valuation Time but after the close of the securities' primary markets, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Trustees under procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Fund may utilize a service provided by an independent third party which has been approved by the Board of Trustees to fair value certain securities. When fair-value pricing is employed, the price of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.
B) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS — The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the current prevailing exchange rates. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the current exchange rate at the end of the period. Translation gains or losses resulting from changes in the exchange rate during the reporting period and realized gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the results of operations for the current period. The Fund does not isolate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in equity securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities. The Fund isolates that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities.
C) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain expenses are class-specific expenses and vary by class. Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and realized/unrealized gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of the outstanding shares of that class. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.
D) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryforward, such gain will not be distributed. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
E) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Fund's intention to have the fund continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes.
F) USE OF ESTIMATES — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
G) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS — The Fund, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("Credit Suisse"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group, pools available cash into either a short-term variable rate time deposit issued by State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"), the Fund's custodian, or a money market fund advised by Credit Suisse. The short-term time deposit issued by SSB is a variable rate account classified as a short-term investment.
H) FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS — The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. 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. The Fund will enter into forward foreign currency contracts primarily for hedging purposes. Forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date or an offsetting position is entered into. At April 30, 2006, the Fund had the following open forward foreign currency contracts:
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts | | Expiration Date | | Foreign Currency To Be Purchased/(Sold) | | Contract Amount | | Contract Value | | Unrealized Gain (Loss) | |
European Economic Unit | | | 06/26/06 | | | € | (1,476,000 | ) | | $ | (1,795,322 | ) | | $ | (1,866,235 | ) | | $ | (70,913 | ) | |
I) TBA PURCHASE COMMITMENTS — The Fund may enter into "TBA" (to be announced) purchase commitments to purchase securities for a fixed price
35
Credit Suisse High Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2006 (unaudited)
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
at a future date, typically not exceeding 45 days. TBA purchase commitments may be considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to settlement date. This risk is in addition to the risk of decline in the Fund's other assets. Unsettled TBA purchase commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described above under "Security Valuation".
J) SECURITIES LENDING — Loans of securities are required at all times to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the market value of domestic securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon) and 105% of the market value of foreign securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon). Cash collateral received by the Fund in connection with securities lending activity may be pooled together with cash collateral for other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse and may be invested in a variety of investments, including certain Credit Suisse-advised funds, funds advised by SSB, the Fund's securities lending agent, or money market instruments. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
SSB has been engaged by the Fund to act as the Fund's securities lending agent. The Fund's securities lending arrangement provides that the Fund and SSB will share the net income earned from the securities lending activities. During the six months ended April 30, 2006, total earnings from the fund's investment in cash collateral received in connection with security lending arrangements was $722,689 of which $575,678 was rebated to borrowers (brokers). The fund retained $103,311 in income from the cash collateral investment and SSB, as lending agent, was paid $43,700. The Fund may also be entitled to certain minimum amounts of income from its securities lending activities. Securities lending income is accrued as earned.
K) OTHER — Lower-rated debt securities (commonly known as "junk bonds") possess speculative characteristics and are subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of lost income and principal than higher-rated debt securities for a variety of reasons. Also, during an economic downturn or substantial period of rising interest rates, highly leveraged issuers may experience financial stress which would adversely affect their ability to service their principal and interest payment obligations, to meet projected business goals and to obtain additional financing.
36

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
In addition, periods of economic uncertainty and changes can be expected to result in increased volatility of market prices of lower-rated debt securities and (to the extent the Fund invests in junk bonds) the Fund's net asset value.
Note 3. Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties
Credit Suisse serves as investment adviser for the Fund. For its investment advisory services, Credit Suisse is entitled to receive a fee from the Fund at an annual rate of 0.70% of the Fund's average daily net assets less than or equal to $100 million and 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets greater than $100 million. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, investment advisory fees earned and voluntarily waived were $453,914 and $134,556, respectively. Fee waivers and reimbursements are voluntary and may be discontinued by Credit Suisse at any time.
Credit Suisse Asset Management Securities, Inc. ("CSAMSI"), an affiliate of Credit Suisse, and SSB serve as co-administrators to the Fund.
For its co-administrative services, CSAMSI currently receives a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.10% of the Fund's average daily net assets. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, co-administrative services fees earned by CSAMSI were $70,947.
For its co-administrative services, SSB receives a fee, exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, calculated in total for all the Credit Suisse funds/portfolios co-administered by SSB and allocated based upon relative average net assets of each fund/portfolio, subject to an annual minimum fee. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, co-administrative services fees earned by SSB (including out-of- pocket expenses) were $74,547.
In addition to serving as the Fund's co-administrator, CSAMSI currently serves as distributor of the Fund's shares. Pursuant to distribution plans adopted by the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, CSAMSI receives fees for its distribution services. CSAMSI is currently paid at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares. For Class B and Class C shares of the Fund, the fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets.
For the six months ended April 30, 2006, CSAMSI and its affiliates advised the Fund that they retained $7,553 from commissions earned on the sale of the Fund's Class A shares.

Note 3. Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties
Merrill Corporation ("Merrill"), an affiliate of Credit Suisse, has been engaged by the Fund to provide certain financial printing and fulfillment services. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, Merrill was paid $252 for its services to the Fund.
Note 4. Line of Credit
The Fund, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse (collectively, the "Participating Funds"), participates in a $75 million committed, unsecured line of credit facility ("Credit Facility") for temporary or emergency purposes with Deutsche Bank, A.G. as administrative agent and syndication agent and SSB as operations agent. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Participating Funds pay an aggregate commitment fee at a rate of 0.10% per annum on the average unused amount of the Credit Facility, which is allocated among the Participating Funds in such manner as is determined by the governing Boards of the Participating Funds. In addition, the Participating Funds pay interest on borrowings at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. At April 30, 2006, the Fund had no loans outstanding under the Credit Facility. During the six months ended April 30, 2006, the Fund had borrowings under the Credit Facility as follows:
Average Daily Loan Balance | | Weighted Average Interest Rate% | | Maximum Daily Loan Outstanding | |
$ | 1,097,238 | | | | 4.515 | % | | $ | 3,381,000 | | |
Note 5. Purchases and Sales of Securities
For the six months ended April 30, 2006, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) were $48,751,708 and $67,216,568, respectively.
At April 30, 2006, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, as well as the gross unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost, gross unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value and the net unrealized appreciation from investments were $159,012,181, $4,541,089, ($2,451,753) and $2,089,336, respectively.

Note 6. Capital Share Transactions
On April 30, 2006, the number of shareholders that held 5% or more of the outstanding shares of each class of the Fund was as follows:
| | Number of Shareholders | | Approximate Percentage of Outstanding Shares | |
Common Class | | | 5 | | | | 82 | % | |
Class A | | | 4 | | | | 66 | % | |

Some of the shareholders are omnibus accounts, which hold shares on behalf of individual shareholders.
Note 7. Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Fund may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

The Board reviewed and considered the contractual advisory fee rate of 0.70% of the Fund's average daily net assets less than or equal to $100 million and 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets greater than $100 million (the "Contractual Advisory Fee") for the Fund in light of the extent and quality of the advisory services provided. The Board also reviewed and considered the fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for the Fund and considered the actual fee rate (after taking waivers, reimbursements and breakpoints into account) of 0.49% for the Fund (the "Net Advisory Fee"). The Board acknowledged that the fee waivers and reimbursements could be discontinued at any time.
Additionally, the Board received and considered information comparing the Fund's Contractual Advisory Fee and Net Advisory Fee and the Fund's overall expenses with those of funds in both the relevant expense group ("Peer Group") and universe of funds (the "Universe") provided by an independent provider of investment company data.
Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services under the Advisory Agreement
The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("Credit Suisse") under the Advisory Agreement. The Board also noted information received at regular meetings throughout the year related to the services rendered by Credit Suisse. The Board reviewed background information about Credit Suisse, including its Form ADV. The Board considered the background and experience of Credit Suisse's senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Fund by senior personnel of Credit Suisse. In addition, the Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund and the extent of the resources devoted to research and analysis of actual and potential investments. The Board also received and considered i nformation about the nature, extent and quality of services and fee rates offered to other Credit Suisse clients for comparable services.

Fund Performance
The Board received and considered the one-, two- three-, four- and five-year performance of the Fund, along with comparisons, for all presented periods, both to the relevant performance group (the "Performance Group") and universe of funds (the "Performance Universe" for the Fund. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used to arrive at the funds included in the Performance Group and the Performance Universe.
The Board reviewed information comparing the performance of the various Credit Suisse Funds to performance benchmarks that the Board had previously established and progress that had been made in certain instances toward achieving those benchmarks. The Board also reviewed comparisons between the Fund and its identified benchmark over various time periods.
Credit Suisse Profitability
The Board received and considered a profitability analysis of Credit Suisse based on the fees payable under the Advisory Agreement, for the Fund, including any fee waivers or fee caps, as well as other relationships between the Fund on the one hand and Credit Suisse affiliates on the other. The Board received profitability information for the other funds in the Credit Suisse family of funds.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered whether economies of scale in the provision of services to the Fund were being passed along to the shareholders. Accordingly, the Board considered whether the breakpoint fee structure was a reasonable means of sharing economies of scale or other efficiencies that might accrue from increases in the Fund's asset levels.
Other Benefits to Credit Suisse
The Board considered other benefits received by Credit Suisse and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. Such benefits include, among others, research arrangements with brokers who execute transactions on behalf of the Fund, administrative and brokerage relationships with affiliates of Credit Suisse and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Credit Suisse's business as a result of its relationship with the Fund (such as the ability to market to shareholders other financial products offered by Credit Suisse and its affiliates).
42
Credit Suisse High Income Fund
Board Approval of Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (continued)
The Board considered the standards applied in seeking best execution and the existence of quality controls applicable to brokerage allocation procedures.
The Board also reviewed Credit Suisse's method for allocating portfolio investment opportunities among the Fund and other advisory clients.
Conclusions
In selecting Credit Suisse, and approving the Advisory Agreement, and the investment advisory fee under such agreement, the Board concluded that:
• the Contractual Advisory Fee and the Net Advisory Fee, which were both at approximately the median of the Fund's Peer Group, were considered reasonable.
• the Fund's one-, two-, three-, four- and five-year performance was higher than the median of its Performance Group and its two-, four- and five-year performance record was higher than the median of its Performance Universe, while the one- and three-year performance record was below the median of the Performance Universe.. The Board acknowledged that the Fund's portfolio management team had changed during the year.
• the Board was satisfied with the nature and extent of the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by Credit Suisse and that, based on dialogue with management and counsel, the services provided by Credit Suisse under the Advisory Agreement are typical of, and consistent with, those provided to mutual funds by other investment advisers.
• in light of the costs of providing investment management and other services to the Fund and Credit Suisse's ongoing commitment to the Fund and willingness to cap fees and expenses, the profits and other ancillary benefits that Credit Suisse and its affiliates received were considered reasonable.
• Credit Suisse's profitability based on fees payable under the Advisory Agreement was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund thereunder.
• the Fund's current fee structure was considered reasonable as the existence of breakpoints serves to enable shareholders to share in economies of scale as the Fund grows.
No single factor reviewed by the Board was identified by the Board as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process.

Dear Shareholder:
Performance Summary
11/01/05 – 04/30/06
Fund & Benchmark | | Performance | |
Common Class1 | | | 11.38 | % | |
Class A1, 2 | | | 11.10 | % | |
Class C1, 2 | | | 10.59 | % | |
Blend of 80/20 S&P 500 & Lehman Brothers US Aggregate Bond Index3 | | | 7.78 | % | |
Performance for the Fund's Class A and Class C Shares is without the maximum sales charge of 4.00% and 1.00%, respectively.2
Market Overview: Appetite for risk lifts stocks, high yield bonds
The period was an overall positive one for US equities, supported by economic expansion and optimism over corporate earnings. While fourth quarter 2005 GDP growth was modest compared with earlier quarters, as the economy absorbed a severe hurricane season, growth rebounded: First quarter 2006 GDP rose at its highest quarterly rate in more than two years. Notwithstanding the period immediately following this report, investors' appetite for risk taking remained, in general, healthy during the semiannual period ended April 30, 2006. This occurred during a period of high energy costs, steadily rising interest rates and ongoing political tensions in the Middle East.
Internationally, most European stock markets outpaced the US market in local-currency returns, and had even better performance in US dollar terms due to a rise in the European currencies vs. the dollar in the period. Japan continued to rally on evidence that its economy is finally recovering, advancing about 23% in both yen and dollar terms. Emerging markets outpaced developed markets as a group, paced by the "BRIC" economies — Brazil, Russia, India and China — all with gains in excess of 40% in dollar terms.
The period was a positive one for bonds overall in terms of total return, though performance varied by credit quality. Investment-grade bonds had only lackluster returns within a rising interest-rate environment, as the Federal Reserve continued its campaign to raise rates in small but steady increments. High yield bonds, which tend to be less sensitive to interest rate movements, handily outpaced investment-grade debt in the period.

Strategic Review: Aided by international equity and high yield exposure
The Fund performed well in the period, both in absolute terms and compared with its benchmark. Within equities, the Fund's relatively high exposure to international stock markets was beneficial to performance, as our underlying international stock funds outpaced the broad US stock market. Credit Suisse Institutional Fund - International Focus Portfolio, which represented about 22% of the Fund's net assets as of April 30, 2006, gained 20.93%, versus an increase of 22.89% for the MSCI EAFE Index.4 In addition, Credit Suisse Emerging Markets Fund (Common Class Shares), 6% of the Fund's net assets as of April 30, 2006, rose 36.19%, versus an increase of 37.77% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.5 The Fund's indirect exposure to small- and mid-cap stocks aided its performance as well.
Our exposure to fixed-income securities was largely focused on high yield bonds in the period. This helped the Fund's performance, with Credit Suisse High Income Fund (Common Class Shares), 2.8% of the Fund's net assets as of April 30, 2006, returning 5.34%, outpacing the Lehman Brothers US Aggregate Bond Index,3 which is composed of investment-grade bonds and had an increase of 0.56%. The Fund also maintained an allocation to alternative investments, via Credit Suisse Commodity Return Strategy Fund (Common Class Shares). Accounting for 7.3% of the Fund's net assets as of April 30, 2006, it rose 7.75%, versus an increase of 7.81% for the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index.6 This allocation, which we believe can provide attractive diversification characteristics, outperformed the bond component of our benchmark, but trailed the benchmark's equity component.

The ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective depends in part on the ability of the Fund's investment adviser to effectively allocate the Fund's assets among underlying Credit Suisse Funds.
An investment in the Fund entails more direct and indirect expenses than a direct investment in the underlying Credit Suisse Funds. In addition, one underlying Credit Suisse Fund may buy the same securities that another underlying Credit Suisse Fund sells. An investor in the Fund might therefore indirectly bear the costs of these trades

without accomplishing any investment purpose, and may be subject to increased taxable gains. Finally, because the Fund invests most of its assets in underlying Credit Suisse Funds, the Fund's investment performance is directly related to the performance of those underlying Credit Suisse Funds. The performance of those underlying Credit Suisse Funds, in turn, depends upon the performance of the securities in which they invest. Each underlying Credit Suisse Fund has risks associated with it.
In addition to historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements, which may concern, among other things, domestic and foreign markets, industry and economic trends and developments and government regulation and their potential impact on the Fund's investment portfolio. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and actual trends, developments and regulations in the future and their impact on the Fund could be materially different from that projected, anticipated or implied. The Fund has no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses
As an investor of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section and which would result in higher total expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The table is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six month period ended April 30, 2006.
The table illustrates your Fund's expenses in two ways:
• Actual Fund Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund using the Fund's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses 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 "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.
• Hypothetical 5% Fund Return. This helps you to compare your Fund's ongoing expenses with those of other mutual funds using the Fund's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical fund return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds.

The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" and the "Annualized Expense Ratios" in the tables are based on actual expenses paid by the Fund during the period, net of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. If those fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements had not been in effect, the Fund's actual expenses would have been higher.

Strategic Review: A diversified approach
The Fund had a gain in the period, but trailed its benchmark, which we attribute primarily to the underperformance of Credit Suisse Institutional Fixed Income Fund (54% of the Fund's net assets as of April 30, 2006), which had a total return of 0.40%, lagging the Lehman Brothers US Aggregate Bond Index,3 which had an increase of 0.59%. Factors that aided the Fund's performance included its allocation to high-yield bonds and large-cap value stocks in the period.
In addition to having bond and stock allocations (our equity funds as of the end of the period included large-, mid- and small-capitalization portfolios), the Fund also maintained an allocation to alternative investments, via Credit Suisse Commodity Return Strategy Fund, which accounted for 2.7% of the Fund's net assets as of April 30, 2006. We believe that while commodities can be volatile on their own, a modest allocation to commodities within a diversified portfolio can potentially provide attractive risk/reward characteristics.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses
As an investor of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section and which would result in higher total expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The table is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six month period ended April 30, 2006.
The table illustrates your Fund's expenses in two ways:
• Actual Fund Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund using the Fund's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses 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 "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.
• Hypothetical 5% Fund Return. This helps you to compare your Fund's ongoing expenses with those of other mutual funds using the Fund's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical fund return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds.

The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" and the "Annualized Expense Ratios" in the tables are based on actual expenses paid by the Fund during the period, net of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. If those fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements had not been in effect, the Fund's actual expenses would have been higher.

Dear Shareholder:
Performance Summary
11/01/05 – 04/30/06
Fund & Benchmark | | Performance | |
Common1 | | | 8.83 | % | |
Class A1,2 | | | 8.68 | % | |
Class C1,2 | | | 8.17 | % | |
Blend of 60/40 S&P 500 & Lehman Brothers US Aggregate Bond Index3 | | | 5.95 | % | |
Performance for the Fund's Class A and Class C Shares is without the maximum sales charge of 4.00% and 1.00%, respectively.2
Market Overview: Appetite for risk lifts stocks, high yield bonds
The period was an overall positive one for US equities, supported by economic expansion and optimism over corporate earnings. While fourth quarter 2005 GDP growth was modest compared with earlier quarters, as the economy absorbed a severe hurricane season, growth rebounded: First quarter 2006 GDP rose at its highest quarterly rate in more than two years. Notwithstanding the period immediately following this report, investors' appetite for risk taking remained, in general, healthy during the semiannual period ended April 30, 2006. This occurred during a period of high energy costs, steadily rising interest rates and ongoing political tensions in the Middle East.
Internationally, most European stock markets outpaced the US market in local-currency returns, and had even better performance in US dollar terms due to a rise in the European currencies vs. the dollar in the period. Japan continued to rally on evidence that its economy is finally recovering, advancing about 23% in both yen and dollar terms. Emerging markets outpaced developed markets as a group, paced by the "BRIC" economies — Brazil, Russia, India and China — all with gains in excess of 40% in dollar terms.
The period was a positive one for bonds overall in terms of total return, though performance varied by credit quality. Investment-grade bonds had only lackluster returns within a rising interest-rate environment, as the Federal Reserve continued its campaign to raise rates in small but steady increments. High yield bonds, which tend to be less sensitive to interest rate movements, handily outpaced investment-grade debt in the period.

Strategic Review: Aided by international equity and high yield exposure
The Fund performed well in the period, both in absolute terms and compared with its benchmark. Within equities, the Fund's relatively high exposure to international stock markets was beneficial to performance, as our underlying international stock funds outpaced the broad US stock market. Credit Suisse Institutional Fund — International Focus Portfolio, which represented about 20% of the Fund's net assets as of April 30, 2006, gained 20.93%, versus an increase of 22.89% for the MSCI EAFE Index.4 In addition, Credit Suisse Emerging Markets Fund (Common Class Shares), 6.4% of the Fund's net assets as of April 30, 2006, rose 36.19%, versus an increase of 37.77% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.5 The Fund's indirect exposure to small- and mid-cap stocks aided its performance as well.
Our exposure to fixed-income securities included a significant high-yield component. This helped the Fund's performance, with Credit Suisse High Income Fund (Common Class Shares), 12% of the Fund's net assets as of April 30, 2006, returning 5.34%, outpacing the Lehman Brothers US Aggregate Bond Index3, which is composed of investment-grade bonds and had an increase of 0.56%. The Fund also maintained an allocation to alternative investments, via Credit Suisse Commodity Return Strategy Fund (Common Class Shares). Accounting for 6.2% of the Fund's net assets as of April 30, 2006, it rose 7.75%, vs. an increase of 7.81% for the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index.6 This allocation, which we believe can provide attractive diversification characteristics, outperformed the bond component of our benchmark, but trailed the benchmark's equity component.

The ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective depends in part on the ability of the Fund's investment adviser to effectively allocate the Fund's assets among underlying Credit Suisse Funds.
An investment in the Fund entails more direct and indirect expenses than a direct investment in the underlying Credit Suisse Funds. In addition, one underlying Credit Suisse Fund may buy the same securities that another underlying Credit Suisse Fund sells. An investor in the Fund might therefore indirectly bear the costs of these trades without accomplishing any investment purpose, and may be subject to increased taxable

gains. Finally, because the Fund invests most of its assets in underlying Credit Suisse Funds, the Fund's investment performance is directly related to the performance of those underlying Credit Suisse Funds. The performance of those underlying Credit Suisse Funds, in turn, depends upon the performance of the securities in which they invest. Each underlying Credit Suisse Fund has risks associated with it.
In addition to historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements, which may concern, among other things, domestic and foreign markets, industry and economic trends and developments and government regulation and their potential impact on the Fund's investment portfolio. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and actual trends, developments and regulations in the future and their impact on the Fund could be materially different from that projected, anticipated or implied. The Fund has no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements.

Credit Suisse Strategic Allocation Funds
Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2006 (unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
The Credit Suisse Opportunity Funds (the "Trust") covered in this report are comprised of Credit Suisse Strategic Allocation Fund — Aggressive ("Aggressive"), Credit Suisse Strategic Allocation Fund — Conservative ("Conservative") and Credit Suisse Strategic Allocation Fund — Moderate ("Moderate") (each, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware as a business trust on May 31, 1995.
Investment objectives for each Fund are as follows: Aggressive seeks capital appreciation; Moderate seeks total return, consisting of income and capital appreciation and Conservative seeks income and modest growth to preserve purchasing power.
The Funds are authorized to offer three Classes of shares: Common Class, Class A shares and Class C shares. Each class of shares represents an equal pro rata interest in the Fund, except that they bear different expenses which reflect the differences in the range of services provided to them. The Fund's Common Class shares may be purchased only by (1) investors in employee retirement, stock, bonus, pension, or profit sharing plans, (2) investment advisory clients of Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("Credit Suisse"), (3) certain registered investment advisers ("RIAs"), (4) certain broker-dealers and RIAs with clients participating in comprehensive fee programs, (5) employees of Credit Suisse or its affiliates and current and former Trustees of funds advised by Credit Suisse or its affiliates and (6) Credit Suisse or its affiliates. Class A shares are sold subject to a front-end sales charge up to 4.00%. Class C shares are sold subject to a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% if redeemed within the first year of purchase.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
A) SECURITY VALUATION — Each Fund invests in a combination of certain Credit Suisse mutual funds (the "Underlying Funds"). Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. Each Fund values the shares of the Underlying Funds at their published net asset value ("NAV"). Short-term debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless it is determined that using this method would not represent fair value.

Credit Suisse Strategic Allocation Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2006 (unaudited)
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
B) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Purchases and sales of the Underlying Funds are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain expenses are class-specific expenses and vary by class. Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and realized/unrealized gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of the outstanding shares of that class. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.
C) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually for Aggressive and Moderate. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly for Conservative. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually for Conservative . However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryforward, such gain will not be distributed. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
D) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — No provision is made for federal taxes as it is each Fund's intention to continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes.
E) USE OF ESTIMATES — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
F) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS — The Funds, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group, pool available cash into either a short-term variable rate time deposit issued by State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"), the Fund's custodian, or a money market fund advised by Credit Suisse. The short-term time deposit issued by SSB is a variable rate account classified as a short-term investment.
