On June 3, 2011, the Credit Suisse High Income Fund changed its name to the "Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund." While the Fund's strategy continues to focus on generating income from investing in the debt of non-investment grade companies, the portfolio emphasizes the senior secured loan asset class rather than high yield bonds. For further information regarding this change, please refer to the Supplement to the Prospectus filed with the SEC on April 4, 2011.
Market Review: Lowest default rates since 2008
The year ended October 31, 2011 was a volatile one for the leveraged loan and high yield markets. The Fund's benchmark, the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index (the "Index") returned 3.54% for the year. In addition, the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Master II Constrained Index returned 4.82% for the same time period. Although there was optimism in the first half of the year, it was tempered by escalating concerns over systemic risks in Europe and the United States during the third quarter. The senior loan discount margin, assuming a three-year average, widened by 62 basis points to end the year at +654 basis points. The average index price, which reached a high of 95.92 in April, finished the year unchanged at 92.44.

From a quality point-of view, split BB and B-rated loans posted the highest returns during the period: 4.44% and 3.55% respectively. Split B and CCC/Split CCC-rated securities underperformed with respective returns of -0.16% and 1.53% respectively. The top performers in the Index were the consumer durables, metals/mineral and gaming/leisure sectors. Conversely, utility, media/telecom and food/tobacco were the biggest detractors to performance during the period.
High yield default rates have fallen to their lowest levels since early 2008 with the trailing 12-month issuer-weighted global default rate, as measured by Moody's, declining steadily from 3.8% in October 2010 to 1.9% in October 2011. This rate is well below the historical average of 4.45% and is forecasted to increase to 2.25% over the next 12 months. According to Credit Suisse, senior loan new issuance topped $468 billion during the period, with the greatest activity during the second quarter with more than $142 billion in volume. High yield issue volume for the period, according to JP Morgan, was more than $274 billion — generally in line with last year's figure of nearly $284 billion. New issue activity was greatest during the second quarter of 2011, with over $92 billion in new issues. There was a considerable decrease in activity in the third quarter as issuance dropped to less than $26 billion.
Senior loan mutual funds experienced a 9-month streak of positive flows during the year only to see it broken by 3 months of consecutive outflows from August through October. Net inflows for the year, as reported by Lipper FMI, totaled more than $22 billion. Additionally, Lipper reported that high-yield mutual funds saw eight months of positive flows during the year for a total net inflow of more than $9 billion for the year.
Strategic Review and Outlook: Cautiously optimistic going forward
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2011, the Fund outperformed its benchmarks. For the period between November 2010 and May 2011, when the Fund had been focused on the high yield bond asset class, it benefitted from superior security selection in the gaming and leisure sectors. Since the Fund's transition to focusing on the non-investment grade senior secured loans asset class in June of this year, strong performance in broadcast and oil sectors contributed to performance. In contrast, security selection in the restaurant sector hurt relative returns.
We believe recent dislocations in credit markets have presented opportunities to selectively add leverage loan exposure at attractive yields. Our portfolio positioning remains defensive, with an emphasis on senior secured loans. In addition, we continue to maintain an overweight to B-rated loans with the best risk-return profiles, while underweighting the most aggressive CC-rated

components of the Index. From a sector perspective, we have a positive view on energy, technology and media. We continue to remain cautious with respect to consumer-driven industries where asset quality is low.
The broad macroeconomic data, such as inconsistent U.S. economic trends and Eurozone concerns, cause us to remain cautious for the near-term. However, on a fundamental basis, non-investment grade companies have focused on deleveraging and extending maturities since early 2009 — despite the volatility and negative sentiment that has dominated the landscape. These improved fundamentals continue to support the expectations that defaults will be lower than historical averages for 2012 and 2013.

Senior secured floating rate loans ("Senior Loans") are subject to the risk that a court could subordinate a Senior Loan, which typically holds the most senior position in the issuer's capital structure, to presently existing or future indebtedness or take other action detrimental to the holders of Senior Loans.
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 investments. 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 those 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 more or 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.
The annualized gross expense ratios are 1.38% for Class I shares, 1.64% for Class A shares, 2.38% for Class B shares and 2.38% for Class C shares. The annualized net expense ratios after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements are 0.70% for Class I shares, 0.95% for Class A shares, 1.70% for Class B shares and 1.70% for Class C shares.
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.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses
As an investor in 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 October 31, 2011.
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 Floating Rate High Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2011
Note 1. Organization
Credit Suisse Floating Rate 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 Fund was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware as a business trust on May 31, 1995. Effective June 3, 2011, the name of the Fund was changed from Credit Suisse High Income Fund.
The Fund offers four classes of shares: Class I shares, Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares. On September 1, 2011, Common Class shares were renamed Class I 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. Class A shares are sold subject to a front-end sales charge of 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 B shares automatically convert to Class A shares after 8 years. Class C shares are sold subject to a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% if the shares are 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. 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 reported, 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. Equity investments are generally categorized as Level 1. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day and are generally categorized as Level 1. 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

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
would not represent fair value. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2. Forward currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies and are generally categorized as Level 2. 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 and are generally categorized as Level 3. 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 prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), the Fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. In accordance with GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. GAAP established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In accordance with the Fund's valuation procedures, factors used in determining value may include, but are not limited to, the type of the security, the size of the holding, the initial cost of the security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security's disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies,

quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company's or issuer's financial statements, an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold and with respect to debt securities, the maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, currency denomination, and the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.
• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
• Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
• Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2011 in valuing the Fund's investments carried at value:

As of October 31, 2011, the amounts shown by the Fund as being Level 3 securities that were measured at fair value amounted to less than 0.01% of net assets.
The Fund adopted FASB amendments to authoritative guidance which require the Fund to disclose details of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements and Level 2 and Level 3 measurements and the

reasons for the transfers. For the year ended October 31, 2011, there were no significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 and no significant transfers in and out of Level 2 and Level 3.
B) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES — The Fund adopted amendments to authoritative guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities which require that the Fund disclose (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and hedging activities are accounted for, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedging activities affect a fund's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.
Effect of Derivative Instruments on the Statement of Operations
Amount of Realized Gain (Loss) on Derivatives Recognized Forward Foreign Currency Contracts | | $ | (19,615 | ) | |
Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Derivatives Recognized Forward Foreign Currency Contracts | | $ | (12,929 | ) | |
From the beginning of the fiscal year through June 30, 2011, the notional amount of forward foreign currency contracts averaged 1.6% of net assets of the Fund. For the remainder of the year, the Fund did not invest in forward foreign currency contracts.
C) 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.
D) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. The Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using
32
Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
the effective interest method. 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.
E) 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 regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
F) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the 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.
The Fund adopted the authoritative guidance for uncertainty in income taxes and recognizes a tax benefit or liability from an uncertain position only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable based solely on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant taxing authority's widely understood administrative practices and procedures. The Fund has reviewed its current tax positions and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
G) 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
H) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS — The Fund, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("Credit

Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Suisse"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group AG, pools available cash into a short-term variable rate time deposit issued by State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"), the Fund's custodian. The short-term time deposit issued by SSB is a variable rate account classified as a short-term investment.
I) 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 foreign currency risk. Forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily forward 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 October 31, 2011, the Fund had no open forward foreign currency contracts.
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 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 securities lending activities. During the year ended October 31, 2011, total earnings from the Fund's investment in cash collateral received in connection with securities lending arrangements was $51,594, of which $6,357 was rebated to borrowers (brokers). The Fund retained $36,700 in income from the cash collateral investment, and SSB, as lending agent, was paid $8,537. Securities lending income is accrued as earned.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
K) OTHER — The high yield, fixed income securities in which the fund will invest will primarily consist of senior secured floating rate loans ("Senior Loans") issued by non-investment grade companies. Senior Loans are typically secured by specific collateral of the issuer and hold the most senior position in the issuer's capital structure. The interest rate on Senior Loans is periodically adjusted to a recognized base rate, typically the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). While these characteristics may reduce interest rate risk and mitigate losses in the event of borrower default, the Senior Loans in which the Fund invests have below investment grade credit ratings and thereby are considered speculative because of the significant credit risk of their issuers.
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.
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 the Fund's net asset value.
L) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS — In preparing the financial statements as of October 31, 2011, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements through the date of release of this report.
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 year ended October 31, 2011, investment advisory fees earned and voluntarily waived were $570,052 and $554,323, respectively. Credit Suisse will not recapture from the Fund any fees it waived during the year ended October 31, 2011. Fee waivers and expense reimbursements are voluntary and may be discontinued by Credit Suisse at any time.

Note 3. Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties
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 0.09% of the Fund's average daily net assets. For the year ended October 31, 2011, co-administrative services fees earned by CSAMSI were $73,292.
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 the relative average net assets of each fund/portfolio, subject to an annual minimum fee. For the year ended October 31, 2011, co-administrative services fees earned by SSB (including out-of-pocket expenses) were $70,648.
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 the Class B and Class C shares, the fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets. Class I shares of the Fund are not subject to distribution fees.
For the year ended October 31, 2011, CSAMSI and its affiliates advised the Fund that it retained $20,342 from commissions earned on the sale of the Fund's Class A shares.
Merrill Corporation ("Merrill"), an affiliate of Credit Suisse, has been engaged by the Fund to provide certain financial printing services. For the year ended October 31, 2011, Merrill was paid $41,961 for its services by 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 committed, unsecured line of credit facility ("Credit Facility") for temporary or emergency purposes with SSB. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Participating Funds pay an aggregate commitment fee 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 either the

Note 4. Line of Credit
Overnight Federal Funds rate or the Overnight LIBOR rate plus a spread. At October 31, 2011, the Fund had no borrowings under the Credit Facility. During the year ended October 31, 2011, the Fund had borrowings under the Credit Facility as follows:
Average Daily Loan Balance | | Weighted Average Interest Rate % | | Maximum Daily Loan Outstanding | |
$ | 181,000 | | | | 1.500 | % | | $ | 181,000 | | |
Note 5. Purchases and Sales of Securities
For the year ended October 31, 2011, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) were $132,241,523 and $109,319,168, respectively.
Note 6. Capital Share Transactions
The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest, $.001 par value per share, of which an unlimited number of shares are classified as Class I shares, Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares. Transactions in capital shares for each class of the Fund were as follows:

The Fund imposes a redemption fee of 2% of the value of all classes of shares currently being offered that are redeemed or exchanged within 30 days from the date of purchase. Reinvested dividends and distributions are not subject to the fee. The fee is charged based on the value of shares at redemption, is paid directly to the Fund and becomes part of the Fund's daily net asset value calculation. When shares are redeemed that are subject to the fee, reinvested dividends and distributions are redeemed first, followed by the shares held longest.
On October 31, 2011, 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 | |
Class I | | | 1 | | | | 87 | % | |
Class A | | | 3 | | | | 50 | % | |
Class B | | | 3 | | | | 63 | % | |
Class C | | | 3 | | | | 64 | % | |
Some of the shareholders are omnibus accounts, which hold shares on behalf of individual shareholders.

Note 7. Federal Income Taxes
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
The tax characteristics of dividends paid during the years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, by the Fund were as follows:
| | Ordinary Income | |
| | 2011 | | 2010 | |
| | | | $ | 4,942,778 | | | $ | 4,462,935 | | |
The tax basis components of distributable earnings differ from the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by temporary book/tax differences. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of dividends payable, wash sales and income from defaulted bonds. At October 31, 2011, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed net investment income | | $ | 246,050 | | |
Undistributed net investment loss — other | | | (89,689 | ) | |
Accumulated realized loss | | | (13,921,542 | ) | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (2,748,441 | ) | |
| | $ | (16,513,622 | ) | |
At October 31, 2011, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards available to offset possible future capital gains as follows:
Expires October 31, | |
2013 | | 2014 | | 2015 | | 2016 | | 2017 | | 2018 | |
$ | 190,454 | | | $ | 297,542 | | | $ | 2,721,368 | | | $ | 4,794,945 | | | $ | 5,676,396 | | | $ | 240,837 | | |
Included in the Fund's capital loss carryforwards is $5,814,107, acquired in the Credit Suisse High Yield Fund merger, which is subject to IRS limitations. During the year ended October 31, 2011, the Fund utilized $4,121,004 of capital loss carryforwards.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital
39

Note 7. Federal Income Taxes
losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law. It is uncertain whether the Fund will be able to realize the full benefits of the capital loss carryforwards before they expire.
At October 31, 2011, 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 depreciation from investments were $142,708,749, $1,441,533, $(4,178,800) and $(2,737,267), respectively.
At October 31, 2011, the Fund reclassified $163,395 to accumulated net investment loss and $4 to paid in capital from accumulated net realized loss from investments, to adjust for current period permanent book/tax differences which arose principally from differing book/tax treatments of foreign currency gain/(loss) and defaulted bonds. Net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.
Note 8. Acquisition of Credit Suisse High Yield Fund
On August 27, 2010, Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund acquired all of the net assets of Credit Suisse High Yield Fund, an open-end investment company, pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the Board of Trustees on May 3, 2010. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds managed by Credit Suisse with comparable investment objectives and strategies. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 4,493,884 Common shares of Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund for 3,321,931 Class I shares of Credit Suisse High Yield Fund valued at $28,998,037. The investment portfolio of Credit Suisse High Yield Fund had a fair value at August 27, 2010 of $28,423,765 and identified cost of $28,896,540, which were the principal assets acquired by Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund were recorded at fair value; however the cost basis of the investments received from Credit Suisse High Yield Fund were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund's realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. Immediately prior to the merger, the net assets of Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund were $47,219,734.

Note 8. Acquisition of Credit Suisse High Yield Fund
Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund pro forma results of operations for the year ended October 31, 2010 are as follows:
Net investment income | | $ | 5,779,0751 | | |
Net gain from investments and foreign currency related item | | | 5,531,5552 | | |
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations | | $ | 11,310,630 | | |
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of net investment income and net gain on investments of Credit Suisse High Yield Fund that have been included in Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund's statement of operations since August 27, 2010.
1 $4,086,587 as reported, plus $1,598,188 for Credit Suisse High Yield Fund, premerger, plus $94,300 of pro-forma gross expenses eliminated.
2 $5,107,671 as reported, plus $423,884 for Credit Suisse High Yield Fund, respectively, premerger.
Note 9. 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund (the "Fund", formerly Credit Suisse High Income Fund) at October 31, 2011, the results of its operations for the year then ended and the changes in its net assets and financial highlights for the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, agent banks and the application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations had not been received, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
