An investment in money market mutual funds is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market mutual funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in money market mutual funds.

The views expressed in the President's Message reflect the current views of Columbia Funds. These views are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict so actual outcomes and results may differ significantly from the views expressed. These views are subject to change at any time based upon economic, market or other conditions and Columbia Funds disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Columbia Fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any particular Columbia Fund. References to specific company securities should not be construed as a recommendation or investment advice.

A message to our valued clients

In the mutual fund business, success can be measured a number of different ways. Performance is a key measure—the one that gains most attention. But fees and service are also important. In that regard, we are pleased to report that Columbia Management has experienced success on all three fronts over the past year. Even more important, our shareholders have benefited from this success.

Because performance ultimately determines investment success, we have devoted considerable energy to improving the performance of all Columbia funds. And we are happy to report that we have made considerable progress toward this important goal.1

Columbia has also taken great strides toward making fund operations more cost effective, which has translated into lower expense ratios on many Columbia funds. In this regard, we believe we still have more work to do, and we will continue to explore opportunities for reining in expenses to the benefit of all our shareholders.

On the service front, we have made it easy and convenient for shareholders to do business with us both on the web at www.columbiafunds.com or over the phone at 800.345.6611. In fact, we've recently upgraded our automated phone system with an advanced speech recognition system that allows callers to interact with the system using natural spoken commands.

After secure login, shareholders can buy, sell or exchange funds either online or over the phone. (Buying shares requires that a link has been established between the shareholder's bank account and Columbia.) Up-to-date performance and pricing information is available online and over the phone. At www.columbiafunds.com, shareholders can also update important personal information and get access to prospectuses and fund reports, which reduces paper clutter for shareholders and translates into a reduction of costs for the funds.

At Columbia Management, we think that you'll like what you see as you read the reports for the period ended April 30, 2006. We are committed to continued improvements in an effort to help our shareholders reach their long-term financial goals. And we look forward to continuing to work with you, our valued financial clients, in the years to come.

Sincerely,

Christopher L.Wilson
President, Columbia Funds

Fund Profile – Columbia Government Plus Reserves

Summary

g  For the six-month period ended April 30, 2006, Capital class shares of the Columbia Government Plus Reserves returned 2.10%. That was higher than the 1.98% average return of the fund's peer group, the Lipper Institutional US Government Money Market Funds Category.1 We believe that the fund did slightly better than its peer group because we kept its weighted average maturity relatively short and focused on floating-rate notes, which historically have performed well in an environment of rising interest rates.

g  Although fourth quarter 2005 economic growth was lackluster, it increased to a strong pace in the first quarter of 2006. Inflation trended higher and the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) continued to raise short-term rates in an effort to keep inflation under control. Cooling in the housing market and rising commodity prices suggest that the rapid pace of growth set in the first quarter is unlikely to be sustained. However, the Fed gave no indication that it believes interest rates have become restrictive. As a result, we kept the fund's maturity structure short. We accomplished this primarily by emphasizing short-term discount notes, overnight repurchase agreements and floating-rate notes.

g  The fund's composition at the end of the period reflected our outlook on interest rates. In our view, the Fed's policy is nearing a point that could be construed as restrictive. However, we believe that inflation will remain a driving force in the Fed's decision-making. And with energy and other commodity prices at or near their recent highs, we are comfortable with the fund's relatively short positioning.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Government Plus Reserves

Shareholder expense example

As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs and ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory, Rule 12b-1 fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Analyzing your fund's expenses by share class

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the reporting period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the "actual" column is calculated using the fund's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the "hypothetical" column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and includes the fund's actual expense ratio. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this reporting period.

Estimating your actual expenses

To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:

g  For shareholders who receive their account statements from Columbia Management Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.columbiafunds.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 800.345.6611.

g  For shareholders who receive their account statements from their brokerage firm, contact your brokerage firm to obtain your account balance.

1.  Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.

2.  In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during the period," locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number is in the column labeled "actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

11/01/05 – 04/30/06

beginning of the period ($)
  Account value at the
end of the period ($)

Liquidity Class     1,000.00       1,000.00       1,018.72       1,023.06       1.60       1.76       0.35    
Adviser Class     1,000.00       1,000.00       1,019.69       1,022.56       2.25       2.26       0.45    
Institutional Class     1,000.00       1,000.00       1,019.12       1,023.60       1.10       1.20       0.24    
Retail A     1,000.00       1,000.00       1,018.39       1,023.31       1.34       1.51       0.30    
G-Trust     1,000.00       1,000.00       1,018.88       1,023.80       0.89       1.00       0.20    

 

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the fund's respective class annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 365.

Had the investment advisor and/or its affiliates not waived or reimbursed a portion of expenses, total return would have been reduced.

It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Compare with other funds

Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the continuing cost of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges or redemption or exchange fees.

Fund Profile – Columbia Prime Reserves

Summary

g  For the six-month period that ended April 30, 2006, Capital class shares of the Columbia Prime Reserves returned 2.18%. It outperformed the 1.98% average return of its peer group, the Lipper Institutional Money Market Funds Category.1 We believe that the fund did better than its peer group because a high percentage of its assets were invested in variable-rate securities, tied to either the one-month or three-month London Inter Bank Offered Rates. As a result, the fund was able to reprice quickly each time the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) raised short-term interest rates. Variable-rate securities are generally a cheaper alternative than commercial paper with comparable maturities.

g  A combination of variable-rate securities and commercial paper with maturities generally no longer than three months resulted in a weighted average maturity that was shorter than the fund's peer group. This positioning helped the fund's yield rise rapidly as interest rates rose.

g  At the end of the period, the fund structure was barbelled. Barbelled structures concentrate in 1- to 3-month maturities with selective extension trades in the 12- to 13-month sector. Extension trades add days to the fund's average weighted maturity and also provide the most pickup in yield versus the Federal Funds rate. We believe this pickup in yield will decrease substantially when the market perceives the Fed is reaching the end of its tightening cycle.

Notes to Financial Statements – Columbia Money Market Funds April 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization

Columbia Funds Series Trust (the "Trust"), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to Columbia Government Plus Reserves and Columbia Prime Reserves (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds").

On November 21, 2005, all the assets and liabilities of Galaxy Government Money Market Fund and Galaxy Institutional Government Money Market Fund were acquired by Columbia Government Plus Reserves, a new series of Columbia Funds Series Trust. On November 23, 2005, Galaxy Institutional Money Market Fund was redomiciled into a new series of Columbia Funds Series Trust that is named Columbia Prime Reserves. Prior to such dates, Galaxy Institutional Government Money Market Fund, Galaxy Government Money Market Fund and Galaxy Institutional Money Market Fund series of The Galaxy Fund ("Galaxy").

Investment Goal

Columbia Government Plus Reserves seeks current income with liquidity and stability of principal. Columbia Prime Reserves seeks to preserve the principal value of a shareholder's investment and to maintain a high degree of liquidity while providing current income.

Fund Shares

Each Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares. Columbia Government Plus Reserves offers seven classes of shares: Capital, Trust, Adviser, Retail A, G-Trust, Institutional and Liquidity Class. Columbia Prime Reserves offers five classes of shares: Capital, Trust, Adviser, Institutional and Liquidity Class. Retail A and G-Trust Class shares are closed to new investors. Trust Class shares of each Fund were not active as of April 30, 2006. Each class of shares is offered continuously at net asset value and has its own expense structure.

On the respective merger date, Institutional, Select and Preferred shares of Galaxy Institutional Government Money Market Fund were exchanged for Capital Class, Trust Class and Adviser Class shares of Columbia Government Plus Reserves. In addition, on the respective merger date, Retail A and Trust shares of Galaxy Government Money Market Fund were exchanged for Retail A and G-Trust shares of Columbia Government Plus Reserves. On the respective merger date, Institutional, Select and Preferred shares of Galaxy Institutional Money Market Fund were exchanged for Capital Class, Trust Class and Adviser Class shares of Columbia Prime Reserves.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

Security Valuation

Securities in the Funds are valued utilizing the amortized cost valuation method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act provided certain conditions are met. This method involves valuing a portfolio security initially at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant accretion or amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, respectively. Investments in other investment companies are valued at net asset value.

Security Transactions

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.

Repurchase Agreements

Each Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Funds' investment advisor has determined are creditworthy. Each Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. Certain Funds may invest in tri-party repurchase agreements. Collateral for tri-party repurchase agreements is held at the counterparty's custodian in segregated accounts for the benefit of the Funds and the counter party. A repurchase agreement transaction involves

28



Columbia Money Market Funds April 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon each Fund's ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Funds seek to assert their rights.

Joint Trading Accounts

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Funds and other affiliated funds may transfer their uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. The assets in the joint trading accounts are invested in one or more repurchase agreements or other short-term investments. These repurchase agreements are subject to the same collateral requirements as discussed above.

Income Recognition

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities. Dividend income is recorded on the ex date.

Determination of Class Net Asset Values

All income, expenses (other than series-specific expenses, as shown on the Statements of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of a Fund on a daily basis for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class. Income and expenses are allocated to each class based on the settled shares method, while realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated based on the relative net assets of each class.

Federal Income Tax Status

Each fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its tax-exempt or taxable income for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, by distributing in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, each Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.

Distributions to Shareholders

Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.

Note 3. Federal Tax Information

The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended October 31, 2005 was as follows:

Note 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates

Investment Advisory Fee

Columbia Management Advisors, LLC ("Columbia"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("BOA"), is the investment advisor to the Funds. Columbia receives a monthly investment advisory fee at the annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets of each Fund.

Columbia has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fee for the Funds so that such fee will not exceed 0.09% annually of each Fund's average daily net assets. Columbia may revise or discontinue this waiver at any time.

Administration Fee

Columbia provides administrative and other services to the Funds. Under the Administration Agreement, Columbia is entitled to receive an administration fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.067% of each Fund's average daily net assets less the fees payable by the Funds under the pricing and bookkeeping agreement.

Prior to the merger dates, Columbia delegated its administrative functions to PFPC Inc. ("PFPC"), a member of PNC Financial Services Group and paid a portion of the administration fees it received (0.01375%) to PFPC as the sub-administrator to the Trust. Under the administration agreement with the Funds, Columbia was entitled to receive a monthly administration fee from each Fund based on the combined average daily net assets of the Funds and the other funds offered by Galaxy at the following annual rates:

Average Daily Net Assets   Annual Fee Rate  
First $30 billion     0.067 %  
Over $30 billion     0.050 %  

 

Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees

Columbia is responsible for providing pricing and bookkeeping services to the Funds under a pricing and bookkeeping agreement. Under a separate agreement (the "Outsourcing Agreement"), Columbia has delegated those functions to State Street Corporation ("State Street"). As a result, the total fees payable under the pricing and bookkeeping agreement are paid to State Street.

Under its pricing and bookkeeping agreement with the Funds, Columbia receives an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly plus an additional monthly fee based on the level of average daily net assets for the month; provided that during any 12-month period, the aggregate fee shall not exceed $140,000 (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses).

The Funds also reimburses Columbia and State Street for out-of-pocket expenses and charges, including fees payable to third parties for pricing each Fund's portfolio securities and direct internal costs incurred by Columbia in connection with providing fund accounting oversight and monitoring and certain other services.

Prior to the merger dates, Columbia delegated its pricing and bookkeeping functions to PFPC and paid the total fees it received from the Funds to PFPC as the sub-pricing and bookkeeping agent. Columbia also reimbursed PFPC for out-of-pocket expenses and charges. Under its pricing and bookkeeping agreement with the Funds, Columbia received an annual fee based on the average daily net assets of each Fund and an additional annual fee of $10,000 due to the multiple class structure. The annual pricing and bookkeeping rates were as follows:

Average Daily Net Assets   Annual Fee Rate  
Under $50 million   $ 25,000    
Over $50 million but less than
$200 million
  $ 35,000    
Over $200 million but less than
$500 million
    $50,000    
Over $500 million but less
than $1 billion
  $ 85,000    
Over $1 billion   $ 125,000    

 

Transfer Agent Fee

Columbia Management Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent"), an affiliate of Columbia and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BOA, provides shareholder services to the Funds. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services ("BFDS") to serve as sub-transfer agent. The Transfer Agent is entitled to receive a fee for its

30



Columbia Money Market Funds April 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

services, paid monthly, at the annual rate of $17.00 per open account plus sub-transfer agent fees (exclusive of BFDS fees) calculated based on assets held in omnibus accounts and intended to recover the cost of payments to third parties for services to those accounts. The annual rate was $15.23 prior to April 1, 2006. The Transfer Agent may also retain, as additional compensation for its services, fees for wire, telephone and redemption orders, IRA trustee agent fees and account transcript fees due the Transfer Agent from shareholders of the Fund and credits (net of bank charges) earned with respect to balances in accounts the Transfer Agent maintains in connection with its services to the Funds. The Transfer Agent also receives reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses. Prior to rebranding, the Transfer Agent received a class-specific fee, paid monthly at the annual rate of $20.00 per open account and was reimbursed for certain out-of-pocket expenses.

Distribution and Shareholder Services Fees

Columbia Management Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), a subsidiary of Columbia and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BOA, is the exclusive distributor of the Trust's shares.

The Trust has adopted a distribution plan ("Distribution Plan") for the Liquidity Class shares and shareholder servicing plans ("Servicing Plans") for each class of shares of the Funds. Currently, the Servicing Plans have not been implemented with respect to the Capital Class shares of each Fund and the G-Trust shares of Columbia Government Plus Reserves. The Distribution Plan, adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, permits the Funds to compensate or reimburse the Distributor and/or selling agents for activities or expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of the classes' shares. The shareholder servicing plans permit the Funds to compensate or reimburse servicing agents for the shareholder services they have provided. Payments are made at an annual rate and paid monthly, as a percentage of average daily net assets, set from time to time by the Board of Trustees, and are charged as expenses of the Funds directly to the applicable share class. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to these plans is paid to affiliates of BOA and the Distributor.

The annual rates in effect and plan limits, as a percentage of average daily net assets are as follows:

    Current
Rate
(after fee
waivers)
  Plan
Limit
 
Distribution Plan and Servicing Plan:  
Liquidity Class shares     0.15 %*     0.25 %**  
Servicing Plans:  
Adviser Class shares     0.25 %     0.25 %  
Institutional Class shares     0.04 %     0.04 %  
Retail A shares     0.10 %     0.10 %  
Trust shares     0.10 %     0.10 %  

 

*  The Distributor has contractually agreed to waive Distribution Plan fees and/or Servicing Plan fees through July 31, 2006 as a percentage of the Fund's Liquidity Class shares average daily net assets at an annual rate of 0.10%, not to exceed an annual combined waiver of 0.10%.

**   To the extent that any Liquidity Class shares of the Funds make payments pursuant to the Distribution Plan and/or the Servicing Plan, the total of such payments may not exceed, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Liquidity Class shares.

Prior to the merger dates, Galaxy adopted a shareholder services plan (the "Services Plan") with respect to the Select Shares and Preferred Shares of the Funds. The Services Plan provided compensation to institutions (including affiliates of Columbia) which provided administrative and support services to their customers who beneficially own Select Shares and/or Preferred Shares. Payment by Galaxy for shareholder liaison services did not exceed an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Select Shares and Preferred Shares. Payment by Galaxy for shareholder administrative support services fee did not exceed an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Select Shares and Preferred Shares. Galaxy limited total payments under the Services Plan to aggregate annual rates that did not exceed 0.15% and 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Select Shares and Preferred shares, respectively, of the Fund. In addition, affiliates of Columbia also limited payments under the Services Plan for the Select Shares so that the total fees did not exceed 0.10% annually of the average daily net assets attributable to the Select Shares.

Expense Limits and Fee Waivers

Columbia has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse the Funds through February 28, 2007 for certain expenses to the extent that total expenses (exclusive of distribution and shareholder service fees, brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, if any) exceed 0.20% annually for Columbia Government Plus Reserves and 0.16% Columbia Prime Reserves annually of the Funds' average daily net assets.

Fees paid to Officers and Trustees

All officers of the Fund, with the exception of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, are employees of Columbia or its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer. The Fund's expenses for the Chief Compliance Officer will not exceed $15,000 per year.

The Trust's eligible Trustees may participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan which may be terminated at any time. All benefits provided under this plan are unfunded and any payments to plan participants are paid solely out of the Funds' assets. Income earned on the plan participant's deferral account is based on the rate of return of the eligible mutual funds selected by the participants or, if no funds are selected, on the rate of return of Columbia Treasury Reserves, (formerly Nations Treasury Reserves) another portfolio of the Trust. The expense for the deferred compensation plan is included in "Trustees' fees" on the Statements of operations. The liability for the deferred compensation plan is included in "Trustees' fees" on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

In addition, the Funds assumed the assets and liabilities of the Galaxy deferred compensation plan. The Galaxy deferred compensation plan may be terminated at anytime. Obligations of the plan will be paid solely out of the Fund's assets.

Note 5. Shares of Beneficial Interest

As of April 30, 2006, the Funds had shareholders whose shares were beneficially owned by participant accounts over which BOA and/or its affiliates had either sole or joint investment discretion. Subscription and redemption activity in these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Funds. The number of such accounts and the percentage of shares of beneficial interest outstanding held therein are as follows:

Fund   Number of
Shareholders
  % of Shares
Outstanding
Held
 
Columbia Government
Plus Reserves
    2       95.6%    
Columbia Prime Reserves     2       93.6    

 

Note 6. Disclosure of Significant Risks and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

On February 9, 2005, Columbia Management Advisors, Inc. (which has since merged into Banc of America Capital Management, LLC (now named Columbia Management Advisors, LLC)) ("Columbia") and Columbia Funds Distributor, Inc. (which has been renamed Columbia Management Distributors, Inc.) (the "Distributor") (collectively, the "Columbia Group") entered into an Assurance of Discontinuance with the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") (the "NYAG Settlement") and consented to the entry of a cease-and-desist order by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") (the "SEC Order"). The SEC Order and the NYAG Settlement are referred to collectively as the "Settlements". The Settlements contain substantially the same terms and conditions as outlined in the agreements in principle which Columbia Group entered into with the SEC and NYAG in March 2004.

Under the terms of the SEC Order, the Columbia Group agreed, among other things, to: pay $70 million in disgorgement and $70 million in civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures; retain an independent consultant to review the Columbia Group's applicable supervisory, compliance, control and other policies and procedures; and retain an independent distribution consultant (see below). The Columbia Funds have

32



Columbia Money Market Funds April 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

also voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of their boards of trustees. The NYAG Settlement also, among other things, requires Columbia and its affiliates to reduce management fees for certain Columbia Funds (including the former Nations Funds) and other mutual funds collectively by $32 million per year for five years, for a projected total of $160 million in management fee reductions.

Pursuant to the procedures set forth in the SEC order, the $140 million in settlement amounts described above will be distributed in accordance with a distribution plan developed by an independent distribution consultant and approved by the SEC. The independent distribution consultant has been in consultation with the staff of the SEC and has submitted a proposed plan of distribution. The SEC has not yet approved a final plan of distribution.

As a result of these matters or any adverse publicity or other developments resulting from them, there may be increased redemptions or reduced sales of fund shares, which could increase transaction costs or operating expenses, or have other adverse consequences for the funds.

A copy of the SEC Order is available on the SEC website at http://www.sec.gov. A copy of the NYAG Settlement is available as part of the Bank of America Corporation Form 8-K filing on February 10, 2005.

In connection with the events described in detail above, various parties have filed suit against certain funds, the Trustees of the Columbia Funds, FleetBoston Financial Corporation and its affiliated entities and/or Bank of America and its affiliated entities.

On February 20, 2004, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred these cases and cases against several other mutual fund companies based on similar allegations to the United States District Court in Maryland for consolidated or coordinated pretrial proceedings (the "MDL"). Subsequently, additional related cases were transferred to the MDL. On September 29, 2004, the plaintiffs in the MDL filed amended and consolidated complaints. One of these amended complaints is a putative class action that includes claims under the federal securities laws and state common law, and that names Columbia, the Distributor, the Trustees of the Columbia Funds, Bank of America Corporation and others as defendants. Another of the amended complaints is a derivative

action purportedly on behalf of the Columbia Funds that asserts claims under federal securities laws and state common law.

On February 25, 2005, Columbia and other defendants filed motions to dismiss the claims in the pending cases. On March 1, 2006, for reasons stated in the court's memoranda dated November 3, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland granted in part and denied in part the defendants' motions to dismiss. The court dismissed all of the class action claims pending against the Columbia Funds Trusts and the Columbia Acorn Trusts. As to Columbia and the Distributor, the claims under the Securities Act of 1933, the claims under Sections 34(b) and 36(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("ICA") and the state law claims were dismissed. The claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and claims under Section 36(b) of the ICA along with related claims under Section 48(a) of the ICA were not dismissed.

On March 21, 2005, a purported class action was filed in Massachusetts state court alleging that the conduct, including market timing, entitles Class B shareholders in certain Columbia funds to an exemption from contingent deferred sales charges upon early redemption ("the CDSC Lawsuit"). The CDSC Lawsuit has been removed to federal court in Massachusetts and the federal Judicial Panel has transferred the CDSC Lawsuit to the MDL.

The MDL is ongoing. Accordingly, an estimate of the financial impact of this litigation on any fund, if any, cannot currently be made.

In 2004, certain Columbia funds, the Trustees of the Columbia Funds, advisers and affiliated entities were named as defendants in certain purported shareholder class and derivative actions making claims, including claims under the Investment Company and the Investment Advisers Acts of 1940 and state law. The suits allege, inter alia, that the fees and expenses paid by the funds are excessive and that the advisers and their affiliates inappropriately used fund assets to distribute the funds and for other improper purpose. On March 2, 2005, the actions were consolidated in the Massachusetts federal court as In re Columbia Entities Litigation. The plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint on June 9, 2005. On November 30, 2005, the judge dismissed all claims by plaintiffs and ordered that the case be

33



Columbia Money Market Funds April 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

closed. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal on December 30, 2005 and this appeal is pending.
