These views are subject to change at any time based upon economic, market or other conditions and the respective parties disclaim any responsibility to update such views.

President's Message

Dear Shareholder:

Investing is a long-term process and we are pleased that you have chosen to include the Columbia family of funds in your overall financial plan.

Your financial advisor can help you establish an appropriate investment portfolio and periodically review that portfolio. A well balanced portfolio is one of the keys to successful long-term investing. Your portfolio should be diversified across different asset classes and market segments and your chosen asset allocation should be appropriate for your investment goals, risk tolerance and time horizons.

However, creating an investment strategy is not a one-step process. From time to time, you'll need to re-evaluate your strategy to determine whether your investment needs have changed. Most experts recommend giving your portfolio a "check-up" every year.

As you begin your portfolio check-up, consider whether you have experienced any major life events since the last time you assessed your portfolio. You may need to tweak your strategy if you have:

•  Gotten married or divorced

•  Added a child to your family

•  Made a significant change in employment

•  Entered or moved significantly closer to retirement

•  Experienced a serious illness or death in the family

•  Taken on or paid off substantial debt

It's important to remember that over time, performance in different market segments will fluctuate. These shifts can cause your portfolio balance to drift away from your chosen asset allocation. A periodic portfolio check-up can help make sure your portfolio stays on track. Remember that asset allocation does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss.

You'll also want to analyze the individual investments in your portfolio. Of course, performance should be a key factor in your analysis, but it's not the only factor to consider. Make sure the investments in your portfolio line up with your overall objectives and risk tolerance. Be aware of changes in portfolio management and pay special attention to any funds that have made significant shifts in their investment strategy.

We hope this information will help you, in working with your financial advisor, to stay on track to reach your investment goals. Thank you for your business and for your continued confidence in Columbia Funds.

Sincerely,

Christopher L. Wilson
President, Columbia Funds

The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 4.75% for Class A shares, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter for Class B shares and 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The "without sales charge" returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower.

Performance results reflect any waivers or reimbursements of fund expenses by the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no Rule 12b-1 fees. Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Please see the fund's prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.

The tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Class C and Class Z shares are newer classes of shares. Class C performance information includes returns of the fund's Class B shares for periods prior to the inception of Class C shares. Class B shares would have substantially similar annual returns because Class B and Class C shares generally have similar expense structures. Class Z performance information includes returns of the fund's Class A shares (the oldest existing fund class) for periods prior to the inception of Class Z shares. These returns have not been restated to reflect any differences in expenses (such as Rule 12b-1 fees) between Class A and Class Z shares. The Class A share returns have been adjusted to take into account the fact that Class Z shares are sold without sales charges. If differences in expenses had been reflected, the returns shown would have been higher, since Class Z shares are not subject to any Rule 12b-1 fees. Class A shares were initially offered on June 16, 1986, Class B shares were initially offered on August 4, 1992, Class C shares were initially offered on August 1, 1997 and Class Z shares were initially offered on September 19, 2005.

Understanding Your ExpensesColumbia California Tax-Exempt Fund

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 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.

As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, Rule 12b-1 fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the 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 is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. 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.

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 ongoing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees.

Class B     1,000.00       1,000.00       1,008.98       1,016.96       7.87       7.90       1.58

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, 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 any of its affiliates not waived or reimbursed a portion of expenses, account value at the end of the period 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 transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fund ProfileColumbia California Tax-Exempt Fund

Summary

g  For the six-month period ended April 30, 2007, the fund's Class A shares returned 1.28% without sales charge. The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, the fund's benchmark, returned 1.59%.1 The average return of the fund's peer group, the Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds Classification, was 1.46%.2 The fund's emphasis on bonds in the five to twenty year maturity range, a sector where rates rose somewhat during the period, generally accounted for its performance shortfall.

g  Declining real estate markets and rising energy costs have brought a pause in California's economic recovery. Yet, the state's unemployment rate remains low, with demand for higher-skilled workers particularly strong. California's growing population continues to force added spending on education, health care and infrastructure needs. Deficit projections over the next few years run into multiple billions despite a state debt load that is already among the nation's heaviest. Although prices are fairly stable, inventories of unsold houses are near ten-year highs. Therefore, we believe any broad rebound must await more vigorous real estate markets, and official state forecasts foresee a possible upturn later in the year.

g  We believe sluggish consumer spending and a slump in housing point to a slowing economy that could restrain inflation and allow the Federal Reserve Board to cut short-term interest rates later this year or early next year. In that scenario, yields on intermediate-term bonds could decline, potentially rewarding the fund's current emphasis on bonds in the five to twenty year maturity range. However, if the economy regains momentum, and if high energy prices feed resurgence in core inflation, we may review our strategy.

Portfolio Management

Gary Swayze has managed the fund since 1997. Mr. Swayze is associated with Columbia Management Advisors, LLC, investment advisor to the fund.

The outlook for the fund may differ from that presented for other Columbia Funds.

Tax-exempt investing offers current tax-exempt income, but it also involves special risks. The value of the fund will be affected by interest rate changes and the creditworthiness of issues held in the fund. When interest rates go up, bond prices generally drop and vice versa.

Interest income from certain tax-exempt bonds may be subject to certain state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax. Capital gains are not exempt from income taxes.

Single-state municipal bond funds pose additional risks due to limited geographical diversification.

1The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is considered representative of the broad market for investment-grade, tax-exempt bonds with maturities of at least one year. Indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

2Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return (assuming reinvestment of distributions) for mutual funds with investment objectives similar to those of the fund. Lipper makes no adjustment for the effect of sales loads.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and current performance may be lower or higher. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Notes to Financial Statements Columbia California Tax-Exempt Fund
April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization

Columbia California Tax-Exempt Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the "Trust"). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.

Investment Goal

The Fund seeks as high a level of after-tax total return as is consistent with prudent risk.

Fund Shares

The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and the Fund offers four classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable.

Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75% based on the amount of initial investment. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") if the shares are sold within twelve months after purchase. Class B shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares sold within twelve months after purchase. Class Z shares are offered continuously at net asset value. There are certain restrictions on the purchase of Class Z shares, as described in the Fund's prospectus.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuation

Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees, based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation. Certain debt securities, which tend to be more thinly traded and of lesser quality, are priced based on fundamental analysis of the financial condition of the issuer and the estimated value of any collateral. Valuations developed through pricing techniques may vary from the actual amounts realized upon sale of the securities, and the potential variation may be greater for those securities valued using fundamental analysis.

Short-term debt obligations maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Investments in other open end investment companies are valued at net asset value.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

Options are valued at the last reported sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the mean between the last quoted bid and ask price.

Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not appropriate, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. If a security is valued at "fair value", such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security.

In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"), was issued. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is evaluating the impact the application of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.

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.

Futures Contracts

The Fund may invest in futures contracts to seek to enhance returns, to hedge some of the risks of its investments in fixed income securities or as a substitute for a position in the underlying assets. The use of futures contracts involves certain risks, which include: (1) imperfect correlation between the price movement of the instruments and the underlying securities, (2) inability to close out positions due to differing trading hours, or the temporary absence of a liquid market, for either the instrument or the underlying securities, or (3) an inaccurate prediction by Columbia Management Advisors, LLC ("Columbia"), the Fund's investment advisor, of the future direction of interest rates. Any of these risks may involve amounts exceeding the variation margin recorded in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities at any given time.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits cash or securities with the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires.

Options

The Fund may purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. The Fund may pay a premium, which is included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale at the issuer's expense either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Board of Trustees. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resale.

Income Recognition

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Original issue discount is accreted to interest income over the life of the security with a corresponding increase in the cost basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on debt securities. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date.

Determination of Class Net Asset Values

All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, as shown on the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the 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

The 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, if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the 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.

Indemnification

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because this would involve future claims against the Fund. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and by contract, the trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of actions relating to their duties to the Trust. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these representations, warranties and indemnities to be minimal.

Note 3. Federal Tax Information

The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended October 31, 2006 was as follows:

Tax-Exempt Income   $ 18,676,670    
Ordinary Income*     19,408    
Long-Term Capital Gains     1,982,347    

 

*  For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.

Unrealized appreciation and depreciation at April 30, 2007, based on cost of investments for federal income tax purposes were:

Unrealized

Unrealized

  Net

$ 36,127,922     $ (375,282 )   $ 35,752,640    

 

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (the "Interpretation"). This Interpretation is effective on the last business day of the semiannual reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to open tax positions upon initial adoption. This Interpretation prescribes a minimum recognition threshold and measurement method for the financial statement recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also requires certain expanded disclosures. Management is evaluating the application of this Interpretation to the Fund and has not at this time quantified the impact, if any, resulting from the adoption of this Interpretation on the Fund's financial statements.

Note 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates

Investment Advisory Fee

Columbia, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("BOA"), is the investment advisor to the Fund and provides administrative and other services. Columbia receives a monthly investment advisory fee based on the Fund's pro-rata portion of the combined average daily net assets of the Fund, Columbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund, Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund and Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Fund as follows:

Combined Average Daily Net Assets   Annual Fee Rate  
First $1 billion     0.50 %  
$1 billion to $3 billion     0.45 %  
Over $3 billion     0.40 %  

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund's annualized effective investment advisory fee rate was 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees

Effective December 15, 2006, the Fund entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement with State Street Bank & Trust Company ("State Street") and Columbia (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. Also effective December 15, 2006, the Fund entered into an Accounting Services Agreement with State Street and Columbia (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") pursuant to which State Street provides accounting services to the Fund. Under


25



Columbia California Tax-Exempt Fund, April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

the State Street Agreements, the Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly. In addition, the Fund pays State Street a monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of average daily net assets of the Fund for the month. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). The Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges.

Effective December 15, 2006, the Fund entered into a Pricing and Bookkeeping Oversight and Services Agreement (the "Services Agreement") with Columbia. Under the Services Agreement, Columbia provides services related to Fund expenses and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and provides oversight of the accounting and financial reporting services provided by State Street. Under the Services Agreement, the Fund reimburses Columbia for out-of-pocket expenses and direct internal costs relating to accounting oversight and for services relating to Fund expenses and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Prior to December 15, 2006, Columbia was responsible for providing pricing and bookkeeping services to the Fund under a pricing and bookkeeping agreement and was entitled to receive an annual fee at the same fee structure described above under the State Street Agreements. Under separate agreements between Columbia and State Street, Columbia delegated certain functions to State Street. As a result of the delegation, the total fees payable under the pricing and bookkeeping agreement (other than certain reimbursements paid to Columbia and discussed below) were paid to State Street. The Fund also reimbursed Columbia and State Street for out-of-pocket expenses and charges, including fees payable to third parties for pricing the Fund's portfolio securities and direct internal costs incurred by Columbia in connection with providing fund accounting oversight and monitoring and certain other services.

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the total amount paid to affiliates by the Fund under the Services Agreement was $26,294.

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the annualized effective pricing and bookkeeping fee rate for the Fund, inclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, was 0.034% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

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 Fund and 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 services, paid monthly, at the annual rate of $17.00 per open account plus reimbursement of certain sub-transfer agent fees paid by the Transfer Agent (exclusive of BFDS fees), calculated based on assets held in omnibus accounts and intended to recover the cost of payments to other parties (including affiliates of BOA) for services to those accounts. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund. 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 Fund. The Transfer Agent also receives reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses.

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund's annualized effective transfer agent fee rate, inclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and sub-transfer agent fees, was 0.04% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Underwriting Discounts, Service and Distribution Fees

Columbia Management Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of Columbia and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BOA, is the principal underwriter of the Fund. For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Distributor has retained net underwriting discounts of $9,797 on sales of the Fund's Class A shares and net CDSC fees of $1,578, $14,309 and $12 on Class A, Class B and Class C share redemptions, respectively.

The Fund has adopted Rule 12b-1 plans (the "Plans"), which require the payment of a monthly service fee to the Distributor. The service fee is equal to 0.10% annually of the net assets attributable to shares of the Fund issued prior to December 1, 1994 and 0.25% annually of the net assets attributable to shares issued thereafter. This arrangement


26



Columbia California Tax-Exempt Fund, April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

results in a rate of service that is a blend between the 0.10% and 0.25% rates. For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund's effective service fee rate was 0.23% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

The Plans also require the payment of a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor equal to 0.75% annually of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares only. The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the Class C share distribution fee so that it will not exceed 0.45% annually of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. This arrangement may be modified or terminated by the Distributor at any time.

The CDSC and the distribution fees are used principally as repayment to the Distributor for amounts paid by the Distributor to dealers who sold such shares.

Expense Limits and Fee Waivers

Columbia has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees and reimburse the Fund for certain expenses so that total expenses (exclusive of service fees, distribution fees, brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, if any) will not exceed 0.60% annually of the Fund's average daily net assets. Columbia, at its discretion, may modify or terminate this arrangement any time.

Custody Credits

The Fund has an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may be reduced by balance credits. These credits are recorded as a reduction of total expenses in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if it had not entered into such an agreement.

Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees

All officers of the Fund are employees of Columbia or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, 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 Fund's Trustees may participate in a deferred compensation plan which may be terminated at any time. Obligations of the plan will be paid solely out of the Fund's assets.

Note 5. Portfolio Information

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, were $23,666,723 and $23,872,720, respectively.

Note 6. Line of Credit

The Trust and other affiliated funds participate in a $350,000,000 committed unsecured revolving line of credit and a $150,000,000 uncommitted, unsecured line of credit, both provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for temporary or emergency purposes.

Interest on the committed line of credit is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their pro-rata portion of the unutilized committed line of credit. Interest on the uncommitted line of credit is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a variable rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus a spread, as determined and quoted by State Street at the time of the request for a loan. A one-time structuring fee of $30,000 is also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the uncommitted line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds. In addition, if the uncommitted line of credit is extended for an additional period, an annual administration fee of $15,000 will be charged and apportioned among each participating fund. The commitment fee and structuring fee are included in "Other expenses" in the Statement of Operations.

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund did not borrow under these arrangements.

Note 7. Shares of Beneficial Interest

As of April 30, 2007, the Fund had one shareholder that held 26.4% of the Fund's shares outstanding. These 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 of these


27



Columbia California Tax-Exempt Fund, April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.

Note 8. Securities Lending

The Fund commenced a securities lending program in August 2006 and may lend its securities to certain approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Each loan is collateralized by cash, in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned plus accrued income from the investment of collateral. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The collateral received is invested and the income generated by the investment of the collateral, net of any fees remitted to State Street as the lending agent and borrower rebates, is paid to the Fund. Generally, in the event of borrower default, the Fund has the right to use the collateral to offset any losses incurred. In the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral, there may be a potential loss to the Fund. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral.

Note 9. Disclosure of Significant Risks and Contingencies

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Fund holds investments that are insured by private insurers who guarantee the payment of principal and interest in the event of default or that are supported by a letter of credit. Each of the Fund's insurers is rated Aaa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. At April 30, 2007, investments supported by private insurers that represent greater than 5% of the total investments of the Fund were as follows:

Insurer   % of Total
Investments
 
MBIA Insurance Corp.     21.7    
AMBAC Assurance Corp.     21.6    
Financial Security Assurance, Inc.     12.8    
Financial Guaranty Insurance Co.     10.3    

 

Geographic Concentration

The Fund had greater than 5% of its total investments on April 30, 2007 invested in debt obligations issued by each of California and Puerto Rico and their respective political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities. The Fund is more susceptible to economic and political factors adversely affecting issuers of the specific state's or territory's municipal securities than are municipal bond funds that are not concentrated to the same extent in these issuers.

Sector Focus

The Fund may focus its investments in certain industries, subjecting it to greater risk than a fund that is less concentrated.

Tax Development Risk

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal of a state-court decision that might significantly affect how states tax in-state and out-of-state municipal bonds. If the Supreme Court determines that the U.S. Constitution prohibits states from treating the interest income on in-state municipal bonds differently from the income on out-of-state municipal bonds for state income tax purposes, most states likely will revisit the way in which they treat the interest on municipal bonds. This has the potential to increase significantly the amount of state tax paid by shareholders on exempt-interest dividends. You should consult your tax advisor to discuss the tax consequences of your investment in the Fund.

The Fund purchases municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of bond counsel, is free from federal income tax. There is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will agree with this opinion. In the event the IRS determines that the issuer does not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued. As a shareholder of the Fund, you may be required to file an amended tax return as a result.

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")


28



Columbia California Tax-Exempt Fund, April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

(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") on matters relating to mutual fund trading. The SEC Order and the NYAG Settlement are referred to collectively as the "Settlements".

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 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 that was developed by an independent distribution consultant and approved by the SEC on April 6, 2007.

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 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 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. 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 were not dismissed.

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

On April 4, 2006, the plaintiffs and the Columbia defendants named in the MDL, including the Columbia Funds, entered into a term sheet containing the principal terms of a stipulation of settlement that would settle all Columbia-related claims in the MDL described above, including the CDSC Lawsuit. On April 6, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland stayed all actions with respect to these Columbia-related claims. The settlement is subject to court approval.


29



Columbia California Tax-Exempt Fund, April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

In 2004, the Columbia Funds' adviser and distributor and certain affiliated entities and individuals 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. Certain Columbia Funds were named as nominal defendants. 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 purposes. 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 entered final judgment in favor of the defendants. The plaintiffs appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on December 30, 2005. A stipulation and settlement agreement dated January 19, 2007 was filed in the First Circuit on February 14, 2007, with a joint stipulation of dismissal and motion for remand to obtain district court approval of the settlement. That joint motion was granted and the appeal was dismissed. On March 6, 2007, the case was remanded to the District Court. On May 11, 2007, the District Court entered a preliminary approval order which granted preliminary approval of the settlement. A final settlement hearing, at which the District Court will determine whether the proposed settlement should be finally approved and the action dismissed on the merits with prejudice, is scheduled for September 18, 2007. The terms of the settlement, if finally approved, will require payments by the funds' adviser and/or its affiliates, including payment of plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and notice to class members. In the event that the settlement is not finally approved, the plaintiffs may elect to go forward with their appeal and no opinion is expressed regarding the likely outcome or financial impact of such an appeal on any fund.

President's Message

Dear Shareholder:

Investing is a long-term process and we are pleased that you have chosen to include the Columbia family of funds in your overall financial plan.

Your financial advisor can help you establish an appropriate investment portfolio and periodically review that portfolio. A well balanced portfolio is one of the keys to successful long-term investing. Your portfolio should be diversified across different asset classes and market segments and your chosen asset allocation should be appropriate for your investment goals, risk tolerance and time horizons.

However, creating an investment strategy is not a one-step process. From time to time, you'll need to re-evaluate your strategy to determine whether your investment needs have changed. Most experts recommend giving your portfolio a "check-up" every year.

As you begin your portfolio check-up, consider whether you have experienced any major life events since the last time you assessed your portfolio. You may need to tweak your strategy if you have:

•  Gotten married or divorced

•  Added a child to your family

•  Made a significant change in employment

•  Entered or moved significantly closer to retirement

•  Experienced a serious illness or death in the family

•  Taken on or paid off substantial debt

It's important to remember that over time, performance in different market segments will fluctuate. These shifts can cause your portfolio balance to drift away from your chosen asset allocation. A periodic portfolio check-up can help make sure your portfolio stays on track. Remember that asset allocation does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss.

You'll also want to analyze the individual investments in your portfolio. Of course, performance should be a key factor in your analysis, but it's not the only factor to consider. Make sure the investments in your portfolio line up with your overall objectives and risk tolerance. Be aware of changes in portfolio management and pay special attention to any funds that have made significant shifts in their investment strategy.

We hope this information will help you, in working with your financial advisor, to stay on track to reach your investment goals. Thank you for your business and for your continued confidence in Columbia Funds.

Sincerely,

Christopher L. Wilson
President, Columbia Funds

The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 4.75% for Class A shares, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year and eliminated thereafter for Class B shares and 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The "without sales charge" returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower.

Performance results reflect any waivers or reimbursements of fund expenses by the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and the fees associated with each class.

The tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Class C is a newer class of shares. Its performance information includes returns of the fund's Class B shares for periods prior to the inception of Class C shares. Class B shares would have substantially similar annual returns because Class B and Class C shares generally have similar expense structures. Class A shares were initially offered on November 1, 1991, Class B shares were initially offered on June 8, 1992, and Class C shares were initially offered on August 1, 1997.

Understanding Your ExpensesColumbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund

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 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.

As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, Rule 12b-1 fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the 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 is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. 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.

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 ongoing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees.

Class B     1,000.00       1,000.00       1,006.20       1,016.91       7.91       7.95       1.59    
Class C     1,000.00       1,000.00       1,007.69       1,018.40       6.42       6.46       1.29    

 

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, 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 any of its affiliates not waived or reimbursed a portion of expenses, account value at the end of the period 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 transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fund ProfileColumbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund

Summary

g  For the six-month period ended April 30, 2007, the fund's Class A shares returned 0.99% without sales charge. The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, the fund's benchmark, returned 1.59%.1 The average return of the fund's peer group, the Lipper Connecticut Municipal Debt Funds Classification, was 1.18%.2 The fund's emphasis on bonds in the five to twenty year maturity range, a sector where rates rose somewhat during the period, generally accounted for its performance shortfall.

g  Connecticut's economy is growing at a slower pace than the nation as a whole. The state's unemployment rate is slightly below the national average. However, not all jobs lost during the last recession have been recovered. Connecticut enjoys the country's highest per capita income, solid employment trends among professional and technical workers and expanding tourism. However, business conditions in manufacturing, construction and housing are weak. Living expenses are high overall, as is the cost of doing business, and traffic is a growing problem. There has also been some population loss. However, state revenues are exceeding projections, and an expected half-billion dollar surplus may be the answer to budget imbalances in the year ahead.

g  We believe sluggish consumer spending and a slump in housing point to a slowing economy that could restrain inflation and allow the Federal Reserve Board to cut short-term interest rates later this year or early next year. In that scenario, yields on intermediate-term bonds could decline, potentially rewarding the fund's current emphasis on bonds in the five to twenty year maturity range. However, if the economy regains momentum and if high energy prices feed resurgence in core inflation, we may review our strategy.

Portfolio Management

Gary Swayze has managed the fund since 1997. Mr. Swayze is associated with Columbia Management Advisors, LLC, investment advisor to the fund.

The outlook for the fund may differ from that presented for other Columbia Funds.

Tax-exempt investing offers current tax-exempt income, but it also involves special risks. The value of the fund will be affected by interest rate changes and the creditworthiness of issues held in the fund. When interest rates go up, bond prices generally drop and vice versa.

Interest income from certain tax-exempt bonds may be subject to certain state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax. Capital gains are not exempt from income taxes.

Single-state municipal bond funds pose additional risks due to limited geographical diversification.

1The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is considered representative of the broad market for investment-grade, tax-exempt bonds with maturities of at least one year. Indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

2Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return (assuming reinvestment of distributions) for mutual funds with investment objectives similar to those of the fund. Lipper makes no adjustment for the effect of sales loads.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and current performance may be lower or higher. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Notes To Financial StatementsColumbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund
April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization

Columbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the "Trust"). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.

Investment Goal

The Fund seeks as high a level of after-tax total return as is consistent with prudent risk.

Fund Shares

The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and the Fund offers three classes of shares: Class A, Class B and Class C. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable.

Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75% based on the amount of initial investment. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") if the shares are sold within twelve months after purchase. Class B shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares sold within twelve months after purchase.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuation

Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees, based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation. Certain debt securities, which tend to be more thinly traded and of lesser quality, are priced based on fundamental analysis of the financial condition of the issuer and the estimated value of any collateral. Valuations developed through pricing techniques may vary from the actual amounts realized upon sale of the securities, and the potential variation may be greater for those securities valued using fundamental analysis.

Short-term debt obligations maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Investments in other open end investment companies are valued at net asset value.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

Options are valued at the last reported sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the mean between the last quoted bid and ask price.

Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not appropriate, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. If a security is valued at "fair value", such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security.

In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"), was issued. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is evaluating the impact the application of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.

Security Transactions

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific


16



Columbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund, April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.

Futures Contracts

The Fund may invest in futures contracts to seek to enhance returns, to hedge some of the risks of its investments in fixed income securities or as a substitute for a position in the underlying assets. The use of futures contracts involves certain risks, which include: (1) imperfect correlation between the price movement of the instruments and the underlying securities, (2) inability to close out positions due to differing trading hours, or the temporary absence of a liquid market, for either the instrument or the underlying securities, or (3) an inaccurate prediction by Columbia Management Advisors, LLC ("Columbia"), the Fund's investment advisor, of the future direction of interest rates. Any of these risks may involve amounts exceeding the variation margin recorded in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities at any given time.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits cash or securities with the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires.

Options

The Fund may purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. The Fund may pay a premium, which is included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

Income Recognition

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Original issue discount is accreted to interest income over the life of the security with a corresponding increase in the cost basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on debt securities. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date.

Determination of Class Net Asset Values

All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, as shown on the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the 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

The 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, if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the 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.

Indemnification

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, because this would involve future claims against the Fund. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and by contract, the trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of actions relating to their duties to the Trust. However, based on experience, the


17



Columbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund, April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

Fund expects the risk of loss due to these representations, warranties and indemnities to be minimal.

Note 3. Federal Tax Information

The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended October 31, 2006 was as follows:

Tax-Exempt Income   $ 4,726,004    
Ordinary Income*     46,081    
Long-Term Capital Gains     1,985,513    

 

*  For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.

Unrealized appreciation and depreciation at April 30, 2007, based on cost of investments for federal income tax purposes were:

Unrealized appreciation   $ 4,391,533    
Unrealized depreciation     (118,441 )  
Net unrealized appreciation   $ 4,273,092    

 

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (the "Interpretation"). This Interpretation is effective on the last business day of the semiannual reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to open tax positions upon initial adoption. This Interpretation prescribes a minimum recognition threshold and measurement method for the financial statement recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also requires certain expanded disclosures. Management is evaluating the application of this Interpretation to the Fund and has not at this time quantified the impact, if any, resulting from the adoption of this Interpretation on the Fund's financial statements.

Note 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates

Investment Advisory Fee

Columbia, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("BOA"), is the investment advisor to the Fund and provides administrative and other services. Columbia receives a monthly investment advisory fee based on the Fund's pro-rata portion of the combined average daily net assets of the Fund, Columbia California Tax-Exempt Fund, Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund and Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Fund as follows:

Combined Average Daily Net Assets   Annual Fee Rate  
First $1 billion     0.50 %  
$1 billion to $3 billion     0.45 %  
Over $3 billion     0.40 %  

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund's annualized effective investment advisory fee rate was 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees

Effective December 15, 2006, the Fund entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement with State Street Bank & Trust Company ("State Street") and Columbia (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. Also effective December 15, 2006, the Fund entered into an Accounting Services Agreement with State Street and Columbia (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") pursuant to which State Street provides accounting services to the Fund. Under the State Street Agreements, the Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly. In addition, the Fund pays State Street a monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of average daily net assets of the Fund for the month. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). The Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges.

Effective December 15, 2006, the Fund entered into a Pricing and Bookkeeping Oversight and Services Agreement (the "Services Agreement") with Columbia. Under the Services Agreement, Columbia provides services related to Fund expenses and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and provides oversight of the accounting and financial reporting services provided by State Street. Under the Services Agreement, the Fund reimburses Columbia for out-of-pocket expenses and direct internal costs relating to accounting oversight and for services relating to Fund


18



Columbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund, April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

expenses and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Prior to December 15, 2006, Columbia was responsible for providing pricing and bookkeeping services to the Fund under a pricing and bookkeeping agreement and was entitled to receive an annual fee at the same fee structure described above under the State Street Agreements. Under separate agreements between Columbia and State Street, Columbia delegated certain functions to State Street. As a result of the delegation, the total fees payable under the pricing and bookkeeping agreement (other than certain reimbursements paid to Columbia and discussed below) were paid to State Street. The Fund also reimbursed Columbia and State Street for out-of-pocket expenses and charges, including fees payable to third parties for pricing the Fund's portfolio securities and direct internal costs incurred by Columbia in connection with providing fund accounting oversight and monitoring and certain other services.

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the total amount paid to affiliates by the Fund under the Services Agreement was $18,006.

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the annualized effective pricing and bookkeeping fee rate for the Fund, inclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, was 0.076% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

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 Fund and 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 services, paid monthly, at the annual rate of $17.00 per open account plus reimbursement of certain sub-transfer agent fees paid by the Transfer Agent (exclusive of BFDS fees), calculated based on assets held in omnibus accounts and intended to recover the cost of payments to other parties (including affiliates of BOA) for services to those accounts. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund. 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 Fund. The Transfer Agent also receives reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses.

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund's annualized effective transfer agent fee rate, inclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and sub-transfer agent fees, was 0.05% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Underwriting Discounts, Service and Distribution Fees

Columbia Management Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of Columbia and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BOA, is the principal underwriter of the Fund. For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Distributor has retained net underwriting discounts of $1,301 on sales of the Fund's Class A shares and net CDSC fees of $-, $15,295 and $40 on Class A, Class B and Class C share redemptions, respectively.

The Fund has adopted Rule 12b-1 plans (the "Plans"), which require the payment of a monthly service fee to the Distributor. The service fee is equal to 0.10% annually of the net assets attributable to shares of the Fund issued prior to December 1, 1994 and 0.25% annually of the net assets attributable to shares issued thereafter. This arrangement results in a rate of service fee that is a blend between the 0.10% and 0.25% rates. For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund's effective service fee rate was 0.24% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

The Plans also require the payment of a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor equal to 0.75% annually of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares only. The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the Class C share distribution fee so that it will not exceed 0.45% annually of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. This arrangement may be modified or terminated by the Distributor at any time.

The CDSC and the distribution fees are used principally as repayment to the Distributor for amounts paid by the Distributor to dealers who sold such shares.

Expense Limits and Fee Waivers

Columbia has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees and reimburse the Fund for certain expenses so that total


19



Columbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund, April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

expenses (exclusive of service fees, distribution fees, brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, if any) will not exceed 0.60% annually of the Fund's average daily net assets. Columbia, at its discretion, may modify or terminate this arrangement any time.

Custody Credits

The Fund has an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may be reduced by balance credits. These credits are recorded as a reduction of total expenses in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if it had not entered into such an agreement.

Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees

All officers of the Fund are employees of Columbia or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, 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 Fund's Trustees may participate in a deferred compensation plan which may be terminated at any time. Obligations of the plan will be paid solely out of the Fund's assets.

Note 5. Portfolio Information

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, were $9,944,335 and $19,632,248, respectively.

Note 6. Line of Credit

The Trust and other affiliated funds participate in a $350,000,000 committed unsecured revolving line of credit and a $150,000,000 uncommitted, unsecured line of credit, both provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for temporary or emergency purposes.

Interest on the committed line of credit is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their pro-rata portion of the unutilized committed line of credit. Interest on the uncommitted line of credit is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a variable rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus a spread, as determined and quoted by State Street at the time of the request for a loan. A one-time structuring fee of $30,000 is also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the uncommitted line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds. In addition, if the uncommitted line of credit is extended for an additional period, an annual administration fee of $15,000 will be charged and apportioned among each participating fund. The commitment fee and structuring fee are included in "Other expenses" in the Statement of Operations.

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund did not borrow under these arrangements.

Note 7. Shares of Beneficial Interest

As of April 30, 2007, the Fund had one shareholder that held 9.9% of the Fund's shares outstanding. These 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 of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.

Note 8. Disclosure of Significant Risks and Contingencies

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Fund holds investments that are insured by private insurers who guarantee the payment of principal and interest in the event of default or that are supported by a letter of credit. Each of the Fund's insurers is rated Aaa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. At April 30, 2007, investments supported by private insurers that represent greater than 5% of the total investments of the Fund were as follows:

Insurer   % of Total
Investments
 
AMBAC Assurance Corp.     20.4    
MBIA Insurance Corp.     20.4    
Financial Security Assurance, Inc.     17.1    
Financial Guaranty Insurance Co.     10.7    

 


20



Columbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund, April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

Geographic Concentration

The Fund had greater than 5% of its total investments on April 30, 2007 invested in debt obligations issued by each of Connecticut and Puerto Rico and their respective political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities. The Fund is more susceptible to economic and political factors adversely affecting issuers of the specific state's or territory's municipal securities than are municipal bond funds that are not concentrated to the same extent in these issuers.

Sector Focus

The Fund may focus its investments in certain industries, subjecting it to greater risk than a fund that is less concentrated.

Tax Development Risk

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal of a state-court decision that might significantly affect how states tax in-state and out-of-state municipal bonds. If the Supreme Court determines that the U.S. Constitution prohibits states from treating the interest income on in-state municipal bonds differently from the income on out-of-state municipal bonds for state income tax purposes, most states likely will revisit the way in which they treat the interest on municipal bonds. This has the potential to increase significantly the amount of state tax paid by shareholders on exempt-interest dividends. You should consult your tax advisor to discuss the tax consequences of your investment in the Fund.

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") on matters relating to mutual fund trading. The SEC Order and the NYAG Settlement are referred to collectively as the "Settlements".

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 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 that was developed by an independent distribution consultant and approved by the SEC on April 6, 2007.

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 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 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. 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 were not dismissed.

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

On April 4, 2006, the plaintiffs and the Columbia defendants named in the MDL, including the Columbia Funds, entered into a term sheet containing the principal terms of a stipulation of settlement that would settle all Columbia-related claims in the MDL described above, including the CDSC Lawsuit. On April 6, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland stayed all actions with respect to these Columbia-related claims. The settlement is subject to court approval.

In 2004, the Columbia Funds' adviser and distributor and certain affiliated entities and individuals 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. Certain Columbia Funds were named as nominal defendants. 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 purposes. 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 entered final judgment in favor of the defendants. The plaintiffs appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on December 30, 2005. A stipulation and settlement agreement dated January 19, 2007 was filed in the First Circuit on February 14, 2007, with a joint stipulation of dismissal and motion for remand to obtain district court approval of the settlement. That joint motion was granted and the appeal was dismissed. On March 6, 2007, the case was remanded to the District Court. On May 11, 2007, the District Court entered a preliminary approval order which granted preliminary approval of the settlement. A final settlement hearing, at which the District Court will determine whether the proposed settlement should be finally approved and the action dismissed on the merits with prejudice, is scheduled for September 18, 2007. The terms of the settlement, if finally approved, will require payments by the funds' adviser and/or its affiliates, including payment of plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and notice to class members. In the event that the settlement is not finally approved, the plaintiffs may elect to go forward with their appeal and no opinion is expressed regarding the likely outcome or financial impact of such an appeal on any fund.

The views expressed in this report reflect the current views of the respective parties. 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 the respective parties disclaim 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.

President's Message

Dear Shareholder:

Investing is a long-term process and we are pleased that you have chosen to include the Columbia family of funds in your overall financial plan.

Your financial advisor can help you establish an appropriate investment portfolio and periodically review that portfolio. A well balanced portfolio is one of the keys to successful long-term investing. Your portfolio should be diversified across different asset classes and market segments and your chosen asset allocation should be appropriate for your investment goals, risk tolerance and time horizons.

However, creating an investment strategy is not a one-step process. From time to time, you'll need to re-evaluate your strategy to determine whether your investment needs have changed. Most experts recommend giving your portfolio a "check-up" every year.

As you begin your portfolio check-up, consider whether you have experienced any major life events since the last time you assessed your portfolio. You may need to tweak your strategy if you have:

•  Gotten married or divorced

•  Added a child to your family

•  Made a significant change in employment

•  Entered or moved significantly closer to retirement

•  Experienced a serious illness or death in the family

•  Taken on or paid off substantial debt

It's important to remember that over time, performance in different market segments will fluctuate. These shifts can cause your portfolio balance to drift away from your chosen asset allocation. A periodic portfolio check-up can help make sure your portfolio stays on track. Remember that asset allocation does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss.

You'll also want to analyze the individual investments in your portfolio. Of course, performance should be a key factor in your analysis, but it's not the only factor to consider. Make sure the investments in your portfolio line up with your overall objectives and risk tolerance. Be aware of changes in portfolio management and pay special attention to any funds that have made significant shifts in their investment strategy.

We hope this information will help you, in working with your financial advisor, to stay on track to reach your investment goals. Thank you for your business and for your continued confidence in Columbia Funds.

Sincerely,

Christopher L. Wilson
President, Columbia Funds

The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 4.75% for Class A shares, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year and eliminated thereafter for Class B shares and 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The "without sales charge" returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower.

Performance results reflect any waivers or reimbursements of fund expenses by the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and the fees associated with each class.

The tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares

Class C is a newer class of shares. Its performance information includes returns of the fund's Class B shares for periods prior to the inception of Class C shares. Class B shares would have substantially similar returns because Class B and Class C shares generally have similar expense structures. Class A shares were initially offered on April 10, 1987, Class B shares were initially offered on June 8, 1992 and Class C shares were initially offered on August 1, 1997.

Understanding Your ExpensesColumbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund

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 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.

As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, Rule 12b-1 fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the 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 is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. 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.

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 ongoing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, 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 any of its affiliates not waived or reimbursed a portion of expenses for Class C shares, account value at the end of the period 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 transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fund ProfileColumbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund

Summary

g  For the six-month period that ended April 30, 2007, the fund's Class A shares returned 0.95% without sales charge. The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, the fund's benchmark, returned 1.59%.1 The average return of the fund's peer group, the Lipper Massachusetts Municipal Debt Funds Classification, was 1.22%.2 The fund's emphasis on bonds in the five to twenty year maturity range, a sector where rates rose somewhat during the period, generally accounted for its performance shortfall.

g  Despite sub-par economic growth, unemployment in Massachusetts has dropped to the lowest level since 2001, on par with the national rate. Strengths include a highly-skilled workforce, high levels of personal wealth, a large higher education industry and favorable business trends among the state's defense contractors. However, the manufacturing and construction industries have begun to slow. Also, the high cost of living and the expense of doing business in Massachusetts may be responsible for recent population losses. State revenues are expanding, but spending has grown faster, notably in the areas of Medicaid, pensions, transport and debt service. The result is a $1.3 billion budget gap in fiscal 2008.

g  We believe sluggish consumer spending and a slump in housing point to a slowing economy that could restrain inflation and allow the Federal Reserve Board to cut short-term interest rates later this year or early next year. In that scenario, yields on intermediate-term bonds could decline, potentially rewarding the fund's current emphasis on bonds in the five to twenty year maturity range. However, if the economy regains momentum, and if high energy prices feed resurgence in core inflation, we may review our strategy.

Portfolio Management

Gary Swayze has managed the fund since 1998. Mr. Swayze is associated with Columbia Management Advisors, LLC, investment advisor to the fund.

The outlook for the fund may differ from that presented for other Columbia Funds.

Tax-exempt investing offers current tax-exempt income, but it also involves special risks. The value of the fund will be affected by interest rate changes and the creditworthiness of issues held in the fund. When interest rates go up, bond prices generally drop and vice versa.

Interest income from certain tax-exempt bonds may be subject to certain state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax. Capital gains are not exempt from income taxes.

Single-state municipal bond funds pose additional risks due to limited geographical diversification.

1The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is considered representative of the broad market for investment-grade, tax-exempt bonds with maturities of at least one year. Indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

2Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return (assuming reinvestment of distributions) for mutual funds with investment objectives similar to those of the fund. Lipper makes no adjustment for the effect of sales loads.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and current performance may be lower or higher. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Financial StatementsColumbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund, April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

A guide to understanding your fund's financial statements

Investment Portfolio   The investment portfolio details all of the fund's holdings and their values as of the last day of the reporting period. Portfolio holdings are organized by type of asset, industry, country or geographic region (if applicable) to demonstrate areas of concentration and diversification.  
Statement of Assets and Liabilities   This statement details the fund's assets, liabilities, net assets and share price for each share class as of the last day of the reporting period. Net assets are calculated by subtracting all the fund's liabilities (including any unpaid expenses) from the total of the fund's investment and non-investment assets. The share price for each class is calculated by dividing net assets for that class by the number of shares outstanding in that class as of the last day of the reporting period.  
Statement of Operations   This statement details income earned by the fund and the expenses accrued by the fund during the reporting period. This statement also shows any net gain or loss the fund realized on the sales of its holdings during the period, as well as any unrealized gains or losses recognized over the period. The total of these results represents the fund's net increase or decrease in net assets from operations.  
Statement of Changes in Net Assets   This statement demonstrates how the fund's net assets were affected by its operating results, distributions to shareholders and shareholder transactions (e.g., subscriptions, redemptions and dividend reinvestments) during the reporting period. This statement also details changes in the number of shares outstanding.  
Financial Highlights   The financial highlights demonstrate how the fund's net asset value per share was affected by the fund's operating results. The financial highlights table also discloses performance for each class of shares and certain key ratios (e.g., class expenses and net investment income as a percentage of average net assets).  
Notes to Financial Statements   These notes disclose the organizational background of the fund, its significant accounting policies (including those surrounding security valuation, income recognition and distributions to shareholders), federal tax information, fees and compensation paid to affiliates and significant risks and contingencies.

Note 1. Organization

Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund (the "Fund"), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the "Trust"), is a non-diversified portfolio. The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.

Investment Goal

The Fund seeks as high a level of after-tax total return as is consistent with prudent risk.

Fund Shares

The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and the Fund offers three classes of shares: Class A, Class B and Class C. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable.

Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75% based on the amount of initial investment. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") if the shares are sold within twelve months after purchase. Class B shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares sold within twelve months after purchase.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuation

Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees, based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation. Certain debt securities, which tend to be more thinly traded and of lesser quality, are priced based on fundamental analysis of the financial condition of the issuer and the estimated value of any collateral. Valuations developed through pricing techniques may vary from the actual amounts realized upon sale of the securities, and the potential variation may be greater for those securities valued using fundamental analysis.

Short-term debt obligations maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Investments in other open end investment companies are valued at net asset value.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

Options are valued at the last reported sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the mean between the last quoted bid and ask price.

Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not appropriate, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. If a security is valued at "fair value", such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security.

In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"), was issued. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is evaluating the impact the application of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.

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.

Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund, April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

Floating Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held

The Fund may sell a fixed-rate bond ("Fixed-Rate Bond") to a broker, who deposits the Fixed-Rate Bond into a special purpose entity, from which are issued floating-rate notes ("Floating-Rate Notes") that are sold to third parties. The Floating-Rate Notes have interest rates that reset weekly and Floating-Rate Note holders have the option to tender their notes to the broker at par at each reset date. A residual certificate (an "Inverse Floater"), which pays interest equal to the difference between the Fixed-Rate Bond and the Floating-Rate Notes, is also issued by the special-purpose entity. The Inverse Floater also gives the holder the right to cause the Floating-Rate Notes to be called at par and to require transfer of the Fixed-Rate Bond to the holder of the Inverse Floater, thereby liquidating the special-purpose entity. In certain transactions, the Fund ultimately receives the Inverse Floater plus cash equivalent to the proceeds raised from the issuance of the Floating Rate Notes in exchange for the Fixed-Rate Bonds.

Although the Fund physically holds the Inverse Floater, because of its right to cause the liquidation of the special-purpose entity and recover the Fixed-Rate Bond it originally sold to the broker, the Fund accounts for this transaction as a secured borrowing pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, by including the Fixed-Rate Bond in its Portfolio of Investments, and recognizing the Floating-Rate Notes as a liability on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Futures Contracts

The Fund may invest in futures contracts to seek to enhance returns, to hedge some of the risks of its investments in fixed income securities or as a substitute for a position in the underlying assets. The use of futures contracts involves certain risks, which include: (1) imperfect correlation between the price movement of the instruments and the underlying securities, (2) inability to close out positions due to differing trading hours, or the temporary absence of a liquid market, for either the instrument or the underlying securities, or (3) an inaccurate prediction by Columbia Management Advisors, LLC ("Columbia"), the Fund's investment advisor, of the future direction of interest rates. Any of these risks may involve amounts exceeding the variation margin recorded in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities at any given time.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits cash or securities with the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires.

Options

The Fund may purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. The Fund may pay a premium, which is included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

Income Recognition

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Original issue discount is accreted to interest income over the life of the security with a corresponding increase in the cost basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on debt securities. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date.

Determination of Class Net Asset Values

All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, as shown on the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the 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.

Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund, April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

Federal Income Tax Status

The 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, if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the 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.

Indemnification

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because this would involve future claims against the Fund. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and by contract, the trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of actions relating to their duties to the Trust. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these representations, warranties and indemnities to be minimal.

Note 3. Federal Tax Information

The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended October 31, 2006 was as follows:

Tax-Exempt Income   $ 6,827,542    
Ordinary Income*     147,993    
Long-Term Capital Gains     1,254,419    

 

*  For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.

Unrealized appreciation and depreciation at April 30, 2007, based on cost of investments for federal income tax purposes were:

Unrealized
Appreciation
 
Unrealized
Depreciation
  Net
Unrealized
Appreciation
 
$ 12,501,779     $ (1,235,576 )   $ 11,266,203    

 

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (the "Interpretation"). This Interpretation is effective on the last business day of the semiannual reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to open tax positions upon initial adoption. This Interpretation prescribes a minimum recognition threshold and measurement method for the financial statement recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also requires certain expanded disclosures. Management is evaluating the application of this Interpretation to the Fund and has not at this time quantified the impact, if any, resulting from the adoption of this Interpretation on the Fund's financial statements.

Note 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates

Investment Advisory Fee

Columbia, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("BOA"), is the investment advisor to the Fund and provides administrative and other services. Columbia receives a monthly investment advisory fee based on the Fund's pro-rata portion of the combined average daily net assets of the Fund, Columbia California Tax-Exempt Fund, Columbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund and Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Fund as follows:

Combined Average Daily Net Assets   Annual Fee Rate  
First $1 billion     0.50 %  
$1 billion to $3 billion     0.45 %  
Over $3 billion     0.40 %  

 


23



Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund, April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund's annualized effective investment advisory fee rate was 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees

Effective December 15, 2006, the Fund entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement with State Street Bank & Trust Company ("State Street") and Columbia (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. Also effective December 15, 2006, the Fund entered into an Accounting Services Agreement with State Street and Columbia (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") pursuant to which State Street provides accounting services to the Fund. Under the State Street Agreements, the Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly. In addition, the Fund pays State Street a monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of average daily net assets of the Fund for the month. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). The Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges.

Effective December 15, 2006, the Fund entered into a Pricing and Bookkeeping Oversight and Services Agreement (the "Services Agreement") with Columbia. Under the Services Agreement, Columbia provides services related to Fund expenses and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and provides oversight of the accounting and financial reporting services provided by State Street. Under the Services Agreement, the Fund reimburses Columbia for out-of-pocket expenses and direct internal costs relating to accounting oversight and for services relating to Fund expenses and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Prior to December 15, 2006, Columbia was responsible for providing pricing and bookkeeping services to the Fund under a pricing and bookkeeping agreement and was entitled to receive an annual fee at the same fee structure described above under the State Street Agreements. Under separate agreements between Columbia and State Street, Columbia delegated certain functions to State Street. As a result of the delegation, the total fees payable under the pricing and bookkeeping agreement (other than certain reimbursements paid to Columbia and discussed below) were paid to State Street. The Fund also reimbursed Columbia and State Street for out-of-pocket expenses and charges, including fees payable to third parties for pricing the Fund's portfolio securities and direct internal costs incurred by Columbia in connection with providing fund accounting oversight and monitoring and certain other services.

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the total amount paid to affiliates by the Fund under the Services Agreement was $19,165.

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the annualized effective pricing and bookkeeping fee rate for the Fund, inclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, was 0.057% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

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 Fund and 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 services, paid monthly, at the annual rate of $17.00 per open account plus reimbursement of certain sub-transfer agent fees paid by the Transfer Agent (exclusive of BFDS fees), calculated based on assets held in omnibus accounts and intended to recover the cost of payments to other parties (including affiliates of BOA) for services to those accounts. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund. 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 Fund. The Transfer Agent also receives reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses.

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund's annualized effective transfer agent fee rate, inclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and sub-transfer agent fees, was 0.06% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund, April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

Underwriting Discounts, Service and Distribution Fees

Columbia Management Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of Columbia and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BOA, is the principal underwriter of the Fund. For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Distributor has retained net underwriting discounts of $25,733 on sales of the Fund's Class A shares and net CDSC fees of $-, $22,955 and $100 on Class A, Class B and Class C share redemptions, respectively.

The Fund has adopted Rule 12b-1 plans (the "Plans"), which require the payment of a monthly service fee to the Distributor. The service fee is equal to 0.10% annually of the net assets attributable to shares of the Fund issued prior to December 1, 1994 and 0.25% annually of the net assets attributable to shares issued thereafter. This arrangement results in a rate of service fee that is a blend between the 0.10% and 0.25% rates. For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund's effective service fee rate was 0.23% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

The Plans also require the payment of a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor equal to 0.75% annually of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares only. The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the Class C share distribution fee so that it will not exceed 0.45% annually of the average daily net assets attributable to the Class C shares. This arrangement may be modified or terminated by the Distributor at any time.

The CDSC and the distribution fees are used principally as repayment to the Distributor for amounts paid by the Distributor to dealers who sold such shares.

Custody Credits

The Fund has an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may be reduced by balance credits. These credits are recorded as a reduction of total expenses in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if it had not entered into such an agreement.

Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees

All officers of the Fund are employees of Columbia or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, 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 Fund's Trustees may participate in a deferred compensation plan which may be terminated at any time. Obligations of the plan will be paid solely out of the Fund's assets.

Note 5. Portfolio Information

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, were $13,031,397 and $16,401,986, respectively.

At April 30, 2007, the Fund held Inverse Floaters related to the following securities:

    Par  
MA Port Authority, Series 1999 C,
5.750%, 07/01/29
  $ 3,000,000    
MA Port Authority, Series 1999 D,  
6.000%, 07/01/29
    3,000,000    

 

Against these securities have been issued $3,000,000 par of Floating-Rate Notes bearing interest rates at April 30, 2007 ranging from 4.123% to 4.465%, at a weighted average rate of 4.294%. Interest paid on the Floating-Rate Notes during the six months ended April 30, 2007 was at an average rate of 4.666%. The Fund's physical holdings at April 30, 2007 were Inverse Floaters totaling $3,000,000 par, market value of $3,326,295, bearing interest at a weighted rate of 7.456%. The Inverse Floaters are exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.

Note 6. Line of Credit

The Trust and other affiliated funds participate in a $350,000,000 committed unsecured revolving line of credit and a $150,000,000 uncommitted, unsecured line of credit, both provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for temporary or emergency purposes.

Interest on the committed line of credit is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate


25



Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund, April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their pro-rata portion of the unutilized committed line of credit. Interest on the uncommitted line of credit is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a variable rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus a spread, as determined and quoted by State Street at the time of the request for a loan. A one-time structuring fee of $30,000 is also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the uncommitted line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds. In addition, if the uncommitted line of credit is extended for an additional period, an annual administration fee of $15,000 will be charged and apportioned among each participating fund. The commitment fee and structuring fee are included in "Other expenses" in the Statement of Operations.

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund did not borrow under these arrangements.

Note 7. Disclosure of Significant Risks and Contingencies

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Fund holds investments that are insured by private insurers who guarantee the payment of principal and interest in the event of default or that are supported by a letter of credit. Each of the Fund's insurers is rated Aaa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. At April 30, 2007, investments supported by private insurers that represent greater than 5% of the total investments of the Fund were as follows:

Insurer   % of Total
Investments
 
MBIA Insurance Corp.     19.7    
Financial Security Assurance, Inc.     9.7    
Financial Guaranty Insurance Co.     7.7    
AMBAC Assurance Corp.     7.7    

 

Geographic Concentration

The Fund had greater than 5% of its total investments on April 30, 2007 invested in debt obligations issued by each of Massachusetts and Puerto Rico and their respective political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities. The Fund is more susceptible to economic and political factors adversely affecting issuers of the specific state's or territory's municipal securities than are municipal bond funds that are not concentrated to the same extent in these issuers.

Sector Focus

The Fund may focus its investments in certain industries, subjecting it to greater risk than a fund that is less concentrated.

Issuer Focus

As a non-diversified fund, the Fund may invest a greater percentage of its total assets in the securities of fewer issuers than a diversified fund. The Fund may, therefore, have a greater risk of loss from a few issuers than a similar fund that invests more broadly.

Tax Development Risk

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal of a state-court decision that might significantly affect how states tax in-state and out-of-state municipal bonds. If the Supreme Court determines that the U.S. Constitution prohibits states from treating the interest income on in-state municipal bonds differently from the income on out-of-state municipal bonds for state income tax purposes, most states likely will revisit the way in which they treat the interest on municipal bonds. This has the potential to increase significantly the amount of state tax paid by shareholders on exempt-interest dividends. You should consult your tax advisor to discuss the tax consequences of your investment in the Fund.

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") on matters


26



Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund, April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

relating to mutual fund trading. The SEC Order and the NYAG Settlement are referred to collectively as the "Settlements".

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 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 that was developed by an independent distribution consultant and approved by the SEC on April 6, 2007.

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 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 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. 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 were not dismissed.

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

On April 4, 2006, the plaintiffs and the Columbia defendants named in the MDL, including the Columbia Funds, entered into a term sheet containing the principal terms of a stipulation of settlement that would settle all Columbia-related claims in the MDL described above, including the CDSC Lawsuit. On April 6, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland stayed all actions with respect to these Columbia-related claims. The settlement is subject to court approval.

In 2004, the Columbia Funds' adviser and distributor and certain affiliated entities and individuals 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


27



Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund, April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

1940 and state law. Certain Columbia Funds were named as nominal defendants. 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 purposes. 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 entered final judgment in favor of the defendants. The plaintiffs appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on December 30, 2005. A stipulation and settlement agreement dated January 19, 2007 was filed in the First Circuit on February 14, 2007, with a joint stipulation of dismissal and motion for remand to obtain district court approval of the settlement. That joint motion was granted and the appeal was dismissed. On March 6, 2007, the case was remanded to the District Court. On May 11, 2007, the District Court entered a preliminary approval order which granted preliminary approval of the settlement. A final settlement hearing, at which the District Court will determine whether the proposed settlement should be finally approved and the action dismissed on the merits with prejudice, is scheduled for September 18, 2007. The terms of the settlement, if finally approved, will require payments by the funds' adviser and/or its affiliates, including payment of plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and notice to class members. In the event that the settlement is not finally approved, the plaintiffs may elect to go forward with their appeal and no opinion is expressed regarding the likely outcome or financial impact of such an appeal on any fund.

President's Message

Dear Shareholder:

Investing is a long-term process and we are pleased that you have chosen to include the Columbia family of funds in your overall financial plan.

Your financial advisor can help you establish an appropriate investment portfolio and periodically review that portfolio. A well balanced portfolio is one of the keys to successful long-term investing. Your portfolio should be diversified across different asset classes and market segments and your chosen asset allocation should be appropriate for your investment goals, risk tolerance and time horizons.

However, creating an investment strategy is not a one-step process. From time to time, you'll need to re-evaluate your strategy to determine whether your investment needs have changed. Most experts recommend giving your portfolio a "check-up" every year.

As you begin your portfolio check-up, consider whether you have experienced any major life events since the last time you assessed your portfolio. You may need to tweak your strategy if you have:

•  Gotten married or divorced

•  Added a child to your family

•  Made a significant change in employment

•  Entered or moved significantly closer to retirement

•  Experienced a serious illness or death in the family

•  Taken on or paid off substantial debt

It's important to remember that over time, performance in different market segments will fluctuate. These shifts can cause your portfolio balance to drift away from your chosen asset allocation. A periodic portfolio check-up can help make sure your portfolio stays on track. Remember that asset allocation does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss.

You'll also want to analyze the individual investments in your portfolio. Of course, performance should be a key factor in your analysis, but it's not the only factor to consider. Make sure the investments in your portfolio line up with your overall objectives and risk tolerance. Be aware of changes in portfolio management and pay special attention to any funds that have made significant shifts in their investment strategy.

We hope this information will help you, in working with your financial advisor, to stay on track to reach your investment goals. Thank you for your business and for your continued confidence in Columbia Funds.

Sincerely,

Christopher L. Wilson
President, Columbia Funds




Performance InformationColumbia New York Tax-Exempt Fund

Performance data quoted represents past performance and current performance may be lower or higher. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Please visit www.columbiafunds.com for daily and most recent month-end performance updates.

The table above shows the growth in value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each share class of Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Fund during the stated time period, and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

*The annual operating expense ratio is as stated in the fund's prospectus that is current as of the date of this report. Differences in expense ratios disclosed elsewhere in this report may result from including fee waivers and reimbursements as well as different time periods used in calculating the ratios.

The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 4.75% for Class A shares, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year and eliminated thereafter for Class B shares and 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The "without sales charge" returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower.

Performance results reflect any waivers or reimbursements of fund expenses by the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.

The tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Class C is a newer class of shares. Its performance information includes returns of the fund's Class B shares for periods prior to the inception of Class C shares. Class B shares would have substantially similar annual returns because Class B and Class C shares generally have similar expense structures. Class A shares were initially offered on September 26, 1986, Class B shares were initially offered on August 4, 1992 and Class C shares were initially offered on August 1, 1997.

Understanding Your ExpensesColumbia New York Tax-Exempt Fund

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 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.

As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, Rule 12b-1 fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the 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 is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. 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.

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 ongoing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees.

Class B     1,000.00       1,000.00       1,006.40       1,016.91       7.91       7.95       1.59

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, 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 any of its affiliates not waived or reimbursed a portion of expenses, account value at the end of the period 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 transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fund ProfileColumbia New York Tax-Exempt Fund

Summary

g  For the six-month period that ended April 30, 2007, the fund's Class A shares returned 1.01% without sales charge. The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, the fund's benchmark, returned 1.59%.1 The average return of the fund's peer group, the Lipper New York Municipal Debt Funds Classification, was 1.26%.2 The fund's emphasis on bonds in the five to twenty year maturity range, a sector where rates rose somewhat during the period, generally accounted for its performance shortfall.

g  New York City remains key to the state's economic fortunes. Wall Street bonuses set new records this year, generating unexpectedly large revenues through personal income tax collections. Unemployment remains below the national average despite sluggish job creation and lagging economic growth. Areas of strength include finance, health and other services, trade and transportation, and utilities construction. The leisure and hospitality industries and government outlays are also important drivers of the state's economic growth. Weakness in manufacturing is an ongoing concern, as are population losses, the growing debt burden and the high cost of doing business in New York. Rapid spending growth threatens to bring sizeable budget deficits for several years.

g  We believe sluggish consumer spending and a slump in housing point to a slowing economy that could restrain inflation and allow the Federal Reserve Board to cut short-term interest rates later this year or early next year. In that scenario, yields on intermediate-term bonds could decline, potentially rewarding the fund's current emphasis on bonds in the five to twenty year maturity range. However, if the economy regains momentum and if high energy prices feed resurgence in core inflation, we may review our strategy.

Portfolio Management

Gary Swayze has managed the fund since 1997. Mr. Swayze is associated with Columbia Management Advisors, LLC, investment advisor to the fund.

The outlook for the fund may differ from that presented for other Columbia Funds.

Tax-exempt investing offers current tax-exempt income, but it also involves special risks. The value of the fund will be affected by interest rate changes and the creditworthiness of issues held in the fund. When interest rates go up, bond prices generally drop and vice versa.

Interest income from certain tax-exempt bonds may be subject to certain state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax. Capital gains are not exempt from income taxes.

Single-state municipal bond funds pose additional risks due to limited geographical diversification.

1The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is considered representative of the broad market for investment-grade, tax-exempt bonds with maturities of at least one year. Indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

2Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return (assuming reinvestment of distributions) for mutual funds with investment objectives similar to those of the fund. Lipper makes no adjustment for the effect of sales loads.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and current performance may be lower or higher. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Notes to Financial Statements – Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Fund
April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization

Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Fund (the "Fund"), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the "Trust"), is a non-diversified portfolio. The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.

Investment Goal

The Fund seeks as high a level of after-tax total return as is consistent with prudent risk.

Fund Shares

The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and the Fund offers three classes of shares: Class A, Class B and Class C. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable.

Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75% based on the amount of initial investment. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") if the shares are sold within twelve months after purchase. Class B shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares sold within twelve months after purchase.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuation

Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees, based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation. Certain debt securities, which tend to be more thinly traded and of lesser quality, are priced based on fundamental analysis of the financial condition of the issuer and the estimated value of any collateral. Valuations developed through pricing techniques may vary from the actual amounts realized upon sale of the securities, and the potential variation may be greater for those securities valued using fundamental analysis.

Short-term debt obligations maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Investments in other open end investment companies are valued at net asset value.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

Options are valued at the last reported sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the mean between the last quoted bid and ask price.

Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not appropriate, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. If a security is valued at "fair value", such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security.

In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"), was issued. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is evaluating the impact the application of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.

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.

Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Fund, April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

Futures Contracts

The Fund may invest in futures contracts to seek to enhance returns, to hedge some of the risks of its investments in fixed income securities or as a substitute for a position in the underlying assets. The use of futures contracts involves certain risks, which include: (1) imperfect correlation between the price movement of the instruments and the underlying securities, (2) inability to close out positions due to differing trading hours, or the temporary absence of a liquid market, for either the instrument or the underlying securities, or (3) an inaccurate prediction by Columbia Management Advisors, LLC ("Columbia"), the Fund's investment advisor, of the future direction of interest rates. Any of these risks may involve amounts exceeding the variation margin recorded in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities at any given time.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits cash or securities with the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires.

Options

The Fund may purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. The Fund may pay a premium, which is included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

Delayed Delivery Securities

The Fund may trade securities on other than normal settlement terms, including securities purchased or sold on a "when-issued" basis. This may increase the risk if the other party to the transaction fails to deliver and causes the Fund to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. The Fund holds until settlement date, in a segregated account, cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.

Income Recognition

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Original issue discount is accreted to interest income over the life of the security with a corresponding increase in the cost basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on debt securities. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date.

Determination of Class Net Asset Values

All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, as shown on the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the 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

The 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, if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the 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.

Indemnification

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because this would involve future claims against the Fund. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and by contract, the trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of actions relating


15



Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Fund, April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

to their duties to the Trust. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these representations, warranties and indemnities to be minimal.

Note 3. Federal Tax Information

The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended October 31, 2006 was as follows:

Tax-Exempt Income   $ 3,466,496    
Ordinary Income*     24,767    
Long-Term Capital Gains     809,894    

 

*  For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.

Unrealized appreciation and depreciation at April 30, 2007, based on cost of investments for federal income tax purposes were:

Unrealized
Appreciation
  Unrealized
Depreciation
  Net
Unrealized
Appreciation
 
$ 8,061,183     $ (39,187 )   $ 8,021,996    

 

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (the "Interpretation"). This Interpretation is effective on the last business day of the semiannual reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to open tax positions upon initial adoption. This Interpretation prescribes a minimum recognition threshold and measurement method for the financial statement recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also requires certain expanded disclosures. Management is evaluating the application of this Interpretation to the Fund and has not at this time quantified the impact, if any, resulting from the adoption of this Interpretation on the Fund's financial statements.

Note 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates

Investment Advisory Fee

Columbia, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("BOA"), is the investment advisor to the Fund and provides administrative and other services. Columbia receives a monthly investment advisory fee based on the Fund's pro-rata portion of the combined average daily net assets of the Fund, Columbia California Tax-Exempt Fund, Columbia Connecticut Tax-Exempt Fund and Columbia Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Fund as follows:

Combined Average Daily Net Assets   Annual Fee Rate  
First $1 billion     0.50 %  
$1 billion to $3 billion     0.45 %  
Over $3 billion     0.40 %  

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund's annualized effective investment advisory fee rate was 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees

Effective December 15, 2006, the Fund entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement with State Street Bank & Trust Company ("State Street") and Columbia (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. Also effective December 15, 2006, the Fund entered into an Accounting Services Agreement with State Street and Columbia (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") pursuant to which State Street provides accounting services to the Fund. Under the State Street Agreements, the Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly. In addition, the Fund pays State Street a monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of average daily net assets of the Fund for the month. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). The Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges.

Effective December 15, 2006, the Fund entered into a Pricing and Bookkeeping Oversight and Services Agreement (the "Services Agreement") with Columbia. Under the Services Agreement, Columbia provides services related to Fund expenses and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and provides oversight of the accounting and financial reporting services provided by State Street. Under the Services Agreement, the Fund reimburses Columbia for out-of-pocket expenses and direct internal costs relating to accounting


16



Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Fund, April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

oversight and for services relating to Fund expenses and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Prior to December 15, 2006, Columbia was responsible for providing pricing and bookkeeping services to the Fund under a pricing and bookkeeping agreement and was entitled to receive an annual fee at the same fee structure described above under the State Street Agreements. Under separate agreements between Columbia and State Street, Columbia delegated certain functions to State Street. As a result of the delegation, the total fees payable under the pricing and bookkeeping agreement (other than certain reimbursements paid to Columbia and discussed below) were paid to State Street. The Fund also reimbursed Columbia and State Street for out-of-pocket expenses and charges, including fees payable to third parties for pricing the Fund's portfolio securities and direct internal costs incurred by Columbia in connection with providing fund accounting oversight and monitoring and certain other services.

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the total amount paid to affiliates by the Fund under the Services Agreement was $17,081.

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the annualized effective pricing and bookkeeping fee rate for the Fund, inclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, was 0.091% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

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 Fund and 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 services, paid monthly, at the annual rate of $17.00 per open account plus reimbursement of certain sub-transfer agent fees paid by the Transfer Agent (exclusive of BFDS fees), calculated based on assets held in omnibus accounts and intended to recover the cost of payments to other parties (including affiliates of BOA) for services to those accounts. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund. 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 Fund. The Transfer Agent also receives reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses.

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund's annualized effective transfer agent fee rate, inclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and sub-transfer agent fees, was 0.08% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Underwriting Discounts, Service and Distribution Fees

Columbia Management Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of Columbia and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BOA, is the principal underwriter of the Fund. For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Distributor has retained net underwriting discounts of $2,685 on sales of the Fund's Class A shares and net CDSC fees of $475, $11,594 and $1 on Class A, Class B and Class C share redemptions, respectively.

The Fund has adopted Rule 12b-1 plans (the "Plans"), which require the payment of a monthly service fee to the Distributor. The service fee is equal to 0.10% annually of the net assets attributable to shares of the Fund issued prior to December 1, 1994 and 0.25% annually of the net assets attributable to shares issued thereafter. This arrangement results in a rate of service fee that is a blend between the 0.10% and 0.25% rates. For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund's effective service fee rate was 0.24% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

The Plans also require the payment of a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor equal to 0.75% annually of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares only. The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the Class C share distribution fee so that it will not exceed 0.45% annually of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. This arrangement may be modified or terminated by the Distributor at any time.

The CDSC and the distribution fees are used principally as repayment to the Distributor for amounts paid by the Distributor to dealers who sold such shares.

Expense Limits and Fee Waivers

Columbia has voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees and reimburse the Fund for certain expenses so that total expenses (exclusive of service fees, distribution fees, brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, if any) will not exceed 0.60% annually of the Fund's average daily net assets. Columbia, at its discretion, may modify or terminate this arrangement any time.

Custody Credits

The Fund has an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may be reduced by balance credits. These


17



Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Fund, April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

credits are recorded as a reduction of total expenses in the Statement of Operations. The Fund could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if it had not entered into such an agreement.

Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees

All officers of the Fund are employees of Columbia or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, 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 Fund's Trustees may participate in a deferred compensation plan which may be terminated at any time. Obligations of the plan will be paid solely out of the Fund's assets.

Note 5. Portfolio Information

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, were $6,574,669 and $7,463,949, respectively.

Note 6. Line of Credit

The Trust and other affiliated funds participate in a $350,000,000 committed unsecured revolving line of credit and a $150,000,000 uncommitted, unsecured line of credit, both provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for temporary or emergency purposes.

Interest on the committed line of credit is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their pro-rata portion of the unutilized committed line of credit. Interest on the uncommitted line of credit is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a variable rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus a spread, as determined and quoted by State Street at the time of the request for a loan. A one-time structuring fee of $30,000 is also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the uncommitted line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds. In addition, if the uncommitted line of credit is extended for an additional period, an annual administration fee of $15,000 will be charged and apportioned among each participating fund. The commitment fee and structuring fee are included in "Other expenses" in the Statement of Operations.

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Fund did not borrow under these arrangements.

Note 7. Shares of Beneficial Interest

As of April 30, 2007, the Fund had one shareholder that held 5.1% of the Fund's shares outstanding. These 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 of this account may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.

As of April 30, 2007, the Fund had two shareholders that held 23.2% of the Fund's shares outstanding. These shares were beneficially owned by participant accounts over which BOA and/or its affiliates did not have investment discretion. Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.

Note 8. Disclosure of Significant Risks and Contingencies

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Fund holds investments that are insured by private insurers who guarantee the payment of principal and interest in the event of default or that are supported by a letter of credit. Each of the Fund's insurers is rated Aaa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. At April 30, 2007, investments supported by private insurers that represent greater than 5% of the total investments of the Fund were as follows:

Insurer   % of Total
Investments
 
MBIA Insurance Corp.     16.0    
AMBAC Assurance Corp.     7.5    
Financial Guaranty Insurance Co.     5.6    

 

Geographic Concentration

The Fund had greater than 5% of its total investments on April 30, 2007 invested in debt obligations issued by each of


18



Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Fund, April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

New York and its respective political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities. The Fund is more susceptible to economic and political factors adversely affecting issuers of the specific state's or territory's municipal securities than are municipal bond funds that are not concentrated to the same extent in these issuers.

Sector Focus

The Fund may focus its investments in certain industries, subjecting it to greater risk than a fund that is less concentrated.

Issuer Focus

As a non-diversified fund, the Fund may invest a greater percentage of its total assets in the securities of fewer issuers than a diversified fund. The Fund may, therefore, have a greater risk of loss from a few issuers than a similar fund that invests more broadly.

Tax Development Risk

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal of a state-court decision that might significantly affect how states tax in-state and out-of-state municipal bonds. If the Supreme Court determines that the U.S. Constitution prohibits states from treating the interest income on in-state municipal bonds differently from the income on out-of-state municipal bonds for state income tax purposes, most states likely will revisit the way in which they treat the interest on municipal bonds. This has the potential to increase significantly the amount of state tax paid by shareholders on exempt-interest dividends. You should consult your tax advisor to discuss the tax consequences of your investment in the Fund.

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") on matters relating to mutual fund trading. The SEC Order and the NYAG Settlement are referred to collectively as the "Settlements".

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 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 that was developed by an independent distribution consultant and approved by the SEC on April 6, 2007.

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 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 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


19



Columbia New York Tax-Exempt Fund, April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

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. 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 were not dismissed.

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

On April 4, 2006, the plaintiffs and the Columbia defendants named in the MDL, including the Columbia Funds, entered into a term sheet containing the principal terms of a stipulation of settlement that would settle all Columbia-related claims in the MDL described above, including the CDSC Lawsuit. On April 6, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland stayed all actions with respect to these Columbia-related claims. The settlement is subject to court approval.

In 2004, the Columbia Funds' adviser and distributor and certain affiliated entities and individuals 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. Certain Columbia Funds were named as nominal defendants. 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 purposes. 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 entered final judgment in favor of the defendants. The plaintiffs appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on December 30, 2005. A stipulation and settlement agreement dated January 19, 2007 was filed in the First Circuit on February 14, 2007, with a joint stipulation of dismissal and motion for remand to obtain district court approval of the settlement. That joint motion was granted and the appeal was dismissed. On March 6, 2007, the case was remanded to the District Court. On May 11, 2007, the District Court entered a preliminary approval order which granted preliminary approval of the settlement. A final settlement hearing, at which the District Court will determine whether the proposed settlement should be finally approved and the action dismissed on the merits with prejudice, is scheduled for September 18, 2007. The terms of the settlement, if finally approved, will require payments by the funds' adviser and/or its affiliates, including payment of plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and notice to class members. In the event that the settlement is not finally approved, the plaintiffs may elect to go forward with their appeal and no opinion is expressed regarding the likely outcome or financial impact of such an appeal on any fund.

President's Message

April 30, 2007

Dear Shareholder:

Investing is a long-term process and we are pleased that you have chosen to include the Columbia family of funds in your overall financial plan.

Your financial advisor can help you establish an appropriate investment portfolio and periodically review that portfolio. A well balanced portfolio is one of the keys to successful long-term investing. Your portfolio should be diversified across different asset classes and market segments and your chosen asset allocation should be appropriate for your investment goals, risk tolerance and time horizons.

However, creating an investment strategy is not a one-step process. From time to time, you'll need to re-evaluate your strategy to determine whether your investment needs have changed. Most experts recommend giving your portfolio a "check-up" every year.

As you begin your portfolio check-up, consider whether you have experienced any major life events since the last time you assessed your portfolio. You may need to tweak your strategy if you have:

•  Gotten married or divorced

•  Added a child to your family

•  Made a significant change in employment

•  Entered or moved significantly closer to retirement

•  Experienced a serious illness or death in the family

•  Taken on or paid off substantial debt

It's important to remember that over time, performance in different market segments will fluctuate. These shifts can cause your portfolio balance to drift away from your chosen asset allocation. A periodic portfolio check-up can help make sure your portfolio stays on track. Remember that asset allocation does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss.

You'll also want to analyze the individual investments in your portfolio. Of course, performance should be a key factor in your analysis, but it's not the only factor to consider. Make sure the investments in your portfolio line up with your overall objectives and risk tolerance. Be aware of changes in portfolio management and pay special attention to any funds that have made significant shifts in their investment strategy.

We hope this information will help you, in working with your financial advisor, to stay on track to reach your investment goals. Thank you for your business and for your continued confidence in Columbia Funds.

Sincerely,

Christopher L. Wilson
President, Columbia Funds

The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 3.25% for Class A (for the 6-month and 1-year periods), 4.75% for Class A shares (for the 5-year and 10-year period) and 4.75% for Class T shares, respectively, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 3.00% for Class B, and 5.00% for Class G in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the fourth year for Class B shares and 1.00% in the seventh year for Class G shares and eliminated thereafter for Class B and Class G shares and 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The "without sales charge"returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower.

Prior to August 22, 2005, new purchases of Class A shares had a maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%.

Performance results reflect any waivers or reimbursements of fund expenses by the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no Rule 12b-1 fees. Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Please see the fund's prospectus for details.

The tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Class A, Class B, Class C, Class G and Class T shares are newer classes of shares, initially offered on November 18, 2002. Their returns include returns of Retail A shares (for Class A and Class T shares) and Retail B shares (for Class B, Class C and Class G shares) of the Galaxy Connecticut Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund (the "Galaxy Connecticut Fund") for periods prior to November 18, 2002 (adjusted, as applicable, to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class A, Class B and Class C shares). The returns shown for Class B, Class C and Class G shares also include the returns for Retail A shares (adjusted, as applicable, to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class B, Class C and Class G shares) for periods prior to the inception of Retail B shares of the Galaxy Connecticut Fund (March 1, 2001). Retail A share returns include returns of BKB shares of the Galaxy Connecticut Fund for periods prior to June 26, 2001, the date on which BKB shares were converted to Retail A shares, and returns of shares of the Boston 1784 Connecticut Tax-Exempt Income Fund (the "1784 Connecticut Fund") (whose shares were initially offered on August 1, 1994) for periods prior to June 26, 2000. The returns for Class Z shares include returns of Trust shares of the Galaxy Connecticut Fund for periods prior to November 18, 2002, the date on which Class Z shares were initially offered by the fund, and returns of shares of the 1784 Connecticut Fund for periods prior to June 26, 2000. No returns have been restated to reflect any differences in expenses (such as Rule 12b-1 fees) between any predecessor share and the corresponding newer share class. If differences in expenses had been reflected, the returns shown for periods prior to the inception of the newer share classes would have been lower.

Understanding Your ExpensesColumbia Connecticut Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund

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 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.

As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, Rule 12b-1 fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the 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 is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. 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.

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 ongoing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, 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 any of its affiliates not waived or reimbursed a portion of expenses for Class C shares, account value at the end of the period 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 transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fund ProfileColumbia Connecticut Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund

Summary

g  For the six-month period ended April 30, 2007, the fund's Class A shares returned 1.00% without sales charge. Class Z shares returned 1.12%. By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Brothers 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index, which is national in scope, returned 1.43%.1 The fund's peer group, the Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Classification, had an average return of 1.04%.2

g  Municipal bonds made little headway during the past six months with short- and long-term yields staying fairly close to each other, compared to the historical difference between them. The best performers in the municipal market were longer-maturity and lower quality investment grade issues. In this environment, the fund benefited from an overweight at the longer end of the intermediate range in bonds with 12- to 20-year maturities. Some lower quality bonds already in the fund, including some tobacco bonds and uninsured Puerto Rico bonds, also helped returns. Relatively few lower quality issues came to market, making it difficult to boost exposure to the sector.

g  We believe that a lower weight versus the Lipper peer group in one-to-three year bonds and a higher exposure to 10-year bonds detracted from performance. In addition, the fund had a slight bias toward bonds that can be called (or redeemed) in 2010. In an effort to increase sensitivity to interest rate changes along the yield curve, we trimmed exposure to these shorter-call bonds as well as shorter-maturity issues, while adding to holdings at the longer end of the intermediate maturity range. The yield curve is a graphic depiction of interest rates, from short- to long-term.

g  We believe Connecticut's AA credit status is likely to remain stable, especially if gains on Wall Street remain strong. We believe the municipal bond supply may remain solid, driven by bond refundings and the state's need to invest in infrastructure improvements and school building projects. We plan to keep the fund focused on bonds with 10- to 20-year maturities, while adding higher-yielding, lower quality investment grade (A- or BBB-rated) bonds as they become available.

1The Lehman Brothers 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index tracks the performance of municipal bonds issued after December 31, 1990 with remaining maturities between 2 and 17 years and at least $5 million in principal amount outstanding. Indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

2Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return (assuming reinvestment of distributions) for mutual funds with investment objectives similar to those of the fund. Lipper makes no adjustment for the effect of sales loads.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and current performance may be lower or higher. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Fund Profile (continued)Columbia Connecticut Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund

Portfolio Management

Brian M. McGreevy has managed the fund since 2002 and has been with the advisor or its predecessors or affiliate organizations since 1994.

The outlook for this fund may differ from that presented for other Columbia Funds.

Tax-exempt bonds involve special risks. The value of the fund will be affected by interest rate changes and the creditworthiness of issues held in the fund. Tax-free mutual funds may be subject to certain state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax.

Single-state municipal bond funds pose additional risks due to limited geographical diversification.

Your fund is actively managed and the composition of its portfolio will change over time.

The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 3.25% for Class A (for the 6-month and 1-year periods), 4.75% for Class A shares (for the 5-year and 10-year periods) and 4.75% for Class T shares, respectively, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 3.00% for Class B and 5.00% for Class G in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the fourth year for Class B shares and 1.00% in the seventh year for Class G shares and eliminated thereafter for Class B and Class G shares and 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The "without sales charge" returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower.

Prior to August 22, 2005, new purchases of Class A shares had a maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%.

Performance results reflect any waivers or reimbursements of fund expenses by the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no Rule 12b-1 fees. Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. Please see the fund's prospectus for details.

The tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemptions of fund shares.

Class A, Class B, Class C, Class G and Class T shares are newer classes of shares, initially offered on November 25, 2002. Their returns include returns of Retail A shares (for Class A and Class T shares) and Retail B shares (for Class B, Class C and Class G shares) of the Galaxy Intermediate Tax-Exempt Bond Fund (the "Galaxy Intermediate Tax-Exempt Fund") for periods prior to November 25, 2002 (adjusted, as applicable, to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class A, Class B and Class C shares). The returns shown for Class B, Class C and Class G shares also include the returns for Retail A shares (adjusted, as applicable, to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class B, Class C and Class G shares) for periods prior to the inception of Retail B shares of the Galaxy Intermediate Tax-Exempt Fund (March 1, 2001). Retail A share returns include returns of BKB shares of the Galaxy Intermediate Tax-Exempt Fund for periods prior to June 26, 2001, the date on which BKB shares were converted to Retail A shares, and returns of shares of the Boston 1784 Tax-Exempt Medium-Term Income Fund (the "1784 Tax-Exempt Fund") (whose shares were initially offered June 14, 1993) for periods prior to June 26, 2000. The returns for Class Z shares include returns of Trust shares of the Galaxy Intermediate Tax-Exempt Fund for periods prior to November 25, 2002, the date on which Class Z shares were initially offered by the fund, and returns of shares of the 1784 Tax-Exempt Fund for periods prior to June 26, 2000. No returns have been restated to reflect any differences in expenses (such as Rule 12b-1 fees) between any predecessor share and the corresponding newer share class. If differences in expenses had been reflected, the returns shown for periods prior to the inception of the newer share classes would have been lower.

Understanding Your ExpensesColumbia Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund

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 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.

As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, Rule 12b-1 fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the 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 is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. 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.

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 ongoing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, 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 any of its affiliates not waived or reimbursed a portion of expenses, account value at the end of the period 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 transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fund ProfileColumbia Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund

Summary

g  For the six-month period that ended April 30, 2007, the fund's Class A shares returned 1.07% without sales charge. Class Z shares returned 1.17%. By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Brothers 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index, returned 1.43%, and the average return of the fund's peer group, the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Classification, was 1.11%.1

g  Longer-maturity and lower quality bonds were the best performers for the period. As a result, the fund did well to have more exposure than many of its peers to longer-maturity bonds. The addition of some higher-yielding, lower quality investment grade and non-rated bonds also aided performance. By contrast, the fund lost some ground because it had little exposure to bonds with one- to two-year maturities, which were also strong performers. We sold bonds from the fund's portfolio with short maturities or short calls in an effort to lock in higher yields, replacing them with bonds with 10- to 20-year maturities. A relatively large concentration in intermediate-term bonds with maturities in the four- to 12-year range, which were weaker performers, further undermined returns.

g  Although we believe that the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) will hold short-term interest rates steady, we plan to keep a close eye on inflation and employment numbers that might change the Fed's intentions. We believe the fund is well positioned for a relatively stable interest rate environment. Municipal supply was strong during the period, driven largely by significant issuance in California. The fund took advantage of opportunities to add to holdings in California as well as in lower investment-grade and non-rated securities. Going forward, we plan to focus on bonds with maturities between seven and 20 years, while looking for ways to potentially add to the fund's yield. We also will work to improve call structure, so the fund will be better positioned to be less vulnerable to a loss of income from bonds that are redeemed before their scheduled maturity.

1The Lehman Brothers 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index tracks the performance of municipal bonds issued after December 31, 1990 with remaining maturities between 2 and 17 years and at least $5 million in principal amount outstanding. Indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

2Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return (assuming reinvestment of distributions) for mutual funds with investment objectives similar to those of the fund. Lipper makes no adjustment for the effect of sales loads.

The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 3.25% for Class A (for the 6-month and 1-year periods), 4.75% for Class A shares (for the 5-year and 10-year periods) and 4.75% for Class T shares, respectively, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 3.00% for Class B, and 5.00% for Class G in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the fourth year for Class B shares and 1.00% in the seventh year for Class G shares and eliminated thereafter for Class B and Class G shares and 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The "without sales charge"returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower.

Prior to August 22, 2005, new purchases of Class A shares had a maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%.

Performance results reflect any waivers or reimbursements of fund expenses by the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no Rule 12b-1 fees. Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Please see the fund's prospectus for details.

The tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Class A, Class B, Class C, Class G and Class T shares are newer classes of shares, initially offered on December 9, 2002. Their returns include returns of Retail A shares (for Class A and Class T shares) and Retail B shares (for Class B, Class C and Class G shares) of the Galaxy Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund (the "Galaxy Massachusetts Fund") for periods prior to December 9, 2002 (adjusted, as applicable, to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class A, Class B and Class C shares). The returns shown for Class B, Class C and Class G shares also include the returns for Retail A shares (adjusted, as applicable, to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class B, Class C and Class G shares) for periods prior to the inception of Retail B shares of the Galaxy Massachusetts Fund (March 1, 2001). Retail A share returns include returns of BKB shares of the Galaxy Massachusetts Fund for periods prior to June 26, 2001, the date on which BKB shares were converted to Retail A shares, and returns of shares of the Boston 1784 Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Income Fund (the "1784 Massachusetts Fund") (whose shares were initially offered June 14, 1993) for periods prior to June 26, 2000.

Understanding Your ExpensesColumbia Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund

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 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.

As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, Rule 12b-1 fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the 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 is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. 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.

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 ongoing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, 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 any of its affiliates not waived or reimbursed a portion of expenses for Class C shares, account value at the end of the period 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 transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fund ProfileColumbia Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund

Summary

g  For the six-month period that ended April 30, 2007, the fund's Class A shares returned 0.90% without sales charge. Class Z shares returned 1.02%. By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Brothers 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index, which is national in scope, returned 1.43%.1 The average return of the fund's peer group, the Lipper Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Classification, was 0.93%.2

g  Performance benefited from the addition of lower investment-grade securities, including bonds issued by hospitals, continuing care retirement centers and educational institutions. These purchases boosted yield and outperformed higher quality issues in a relatively stable interest-rate environment. We believe the fund had a longer weighted average maturity than its peer group, which also helped returns as longer-term issues beat shorter-term bonds. Having less exposure than either its peer group or its benchmark to bonds with one- and two-year maturities hampered returns, as these bonds performed well. During the period, we sold from the fund's portfolio shorter-maturity bonds as well as bonds with near-term call dates and focused on 10- to 20-year bonds. We also worked to improve the fund's structure by adding noncallable bonds, as well as bonds with longer call dates, helping to lock in yields. Callable bonds can be redeemed at a set date before maturity.

g  Going forward, we expect positive economic growth in Massachusetts. Although Massachusetts' unemployment rate has shown some improvement and wealth levels have stayed high, Massachusetts continues to face challenges related to high housing costs, labor force migration to other states and a significant budget gap. We believe that municipal issuance may remain healthy, driven by the government efforts to obtain funding for infrastructure needs. As more Massachusetts issues come to market, we plan to look for opportunities to diversify across sectors and invest in investment-grade and non-rated bonds.

The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 3.25% for Class A (for the 6-month and 1-year periods), 4.75% for Class A shares (for the 5-year and 10-year periods) and 4.75% for Class T shares, respectively, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 3.00% for Class B, and 5.00% for Class G in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the fourth year for Class B shares and 1.00% in the seventh year for Class G shares and eliminated thereafter for Class B and Class G shares and 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The "without sales charge"returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower.

Prior to August 22, 2005, new purchases of Class A shares had a maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%.

Performance results reflect any waivers or reimbursements of fund expenses by the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no Rule 12b-1 fees. Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Please see the fund's prospectus for details.

The tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Class A, Class B, Class C, Class G and Class T are newer classes of shares, initially offered on November 18, 2002. Their returns include returns of Retail A shares (for Class A and Class T shares) and Retail B shares (for Class B, Class C and Class G shares) of the Galaxy New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund (the "Galaxy New Jersey Fund") for periods prior to November 18, 2002 (adjusted, as applicable, to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class A, Class B and Class C shares). The returns shown for Class B, Class C and Class G shares also include the returns of Retail A shares (adjusted, as applicable, to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class B, Class C and Class G shares) for periods prior to the inception of Retail B shares of the Galaxy New Jersey Fund (March 1, 2001). Retail A shares were initially offered on April 3, 1998. The returns for Class Z shares include returns of Trust shares of the Galaxy New Jersey Fund for periods prior to November 18, 2002, the date on which Class Z shares were initially offered by the fund. Trust shares were initially offered by the Galaxy New Jersey Fund on April 3, 1998. No returns have been restated to reflect any differences in expenses (such as Rule 12b-1 fees) between any predecessor share and the corresponding newer share class. If differences in expenses had been reflected, the returns shown for periods prior to the inception of the newer share classes would have been lower.

Understanding Your Expenses Columbia New Jersey Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund

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 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.

As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, Rule 12b-1 fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the 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 is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. 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.

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 ongoing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, 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 any of its affiliates not waived or reimbursed a portion of expenses for Class C shares, account value at the end of the period 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 transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fund Profile Columbia New Jersey Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund

Summary

g  For the six-month period that ended April 30, 2007, the fund's Class A shares returned 1.07% without sales charge. Class Z shares returned 1.19%. By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Brothers 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index, which is national in scope, returned 1.43%.1 The fund's peer group, the Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Classification, had an average total return of 1.04%.2

g  Fixed-income returns were muted in a period when interest rates remained stable and relatively low. Lower quality bonds did well, fueled by investors' search for added yield. Yet, the fund maintained a high quality focus while benefiting from exposure to lower quality (A- and BBB-rated) investment grade paper in the hospital, student housing, education, continuing care retirement center and tobacco sectors. We believe that exposure to lower quality bonds was higher than that of many peers from other states.

g  Investments at the longer end of the intermediate universe, in securities with maturities between 12 and 20 years, also helped returns. As investors anticipated lower interest rates ahead, they attempted to lock in yields by buying longer-term issues, which outperformed shorter-term bonds. We also believe the fund benefited from having a slightly longer call structure than its peer group, as we favored non-callable bonds, which cannot be redeemed before their scheduled maturity, and bonds with call dates of 10 years or more.

g  We believe the outlook for New Jersey's municipal markets remains positive. Although economic growth has been decent, the state faces some structural budget problems as well as the potential for decreased reliance on property taxes to fund schools. We expect issuance to remain strong, providing a mix of large and small deals across sectors. We believe the fund is well positioned for stable to lower interest rates with a healthy exposure to lower quality investment-grade bonds and a tilt toward longer maturity issues.

The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 3.25% for Class A (for the 6-month and 1-year periods), 4.75% for Class A shares (for the 5-year and 10-year periods) and 4.75% for Class T shares, respectively, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 3.00% for Class B, and 5.00% for Class G in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the fourth year for Class B shares and 1.00% in the seventh year for Class G shares and eliminated thereafter for Class B and Class G shares and 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The "without sales charge"returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower.

Prior to August 22, 2005, new purchases of Class A shares had a maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%.

Performance results reflect any waivers or reimbursements of fund expenses by the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no Rule 12b-1 fees. Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Please see the fund's prospectus for details.

The tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Class A, Class B, Class C, Class G and Class T are newer classes of shares, initially offered on November 25, 2002. Their returns include returns of Retail A shares (for Class A and Class T shares) and Retail B shares (for Class B, Class C and Class G shares) of the Galaxy New York Municipal Bond Fund (the "Galaxy New York Fund") for periods prior to November 25, 2002 (adjusted, as applicable, to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class A, Class B and Class C shares). The returns shown for Class B, Class C and Class G shares also include the returns of Retail A shares (adjusted, as applicable, to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class B, Class C and Class G shares) for periods prior to the inception of Retail B shares of the Galaxy New York Fund (March 1, 2001). Retail A shares were initially offered on December 31, 1991. The returns for Class Z shares include returns of Trust shares of the Galaxy New York Fund for periods prior to November 18, 2002, the date on which Class Z shares were initially offered by the fund. Trust shares were initially offered by the Galaxy New York Fund on December 31, 1991. No returns have been restated to reflect any differences in expenses (such as Rule 12b-1 fees) between any predecessor share and the corresponding newer share class. If differences in expenses had been reflected, the returns shown for periods prior to the inception of the newer share classes would have been lower.

Understanding Your ExpensesColumbia New York Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund

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 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.

As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, Rule 12b-1 fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the 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 is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. 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.

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 ongoing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, 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 any of its affiliates not waived or reimbursed a portion of expenses for Class C shares, account value at the end of the period 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 transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fund ProfileColumbia New York Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund

Summary

g  For the six-month period that ended April 30, 2007, the fund's Class A shares returned 1.04% without sales charge. Class Z shares returned 1.17%. By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Brothers 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index1, which is national in scope, returned 1.43%, and the average return of the fund's peer group, the Lipper New York Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Classification2 was 1.00%. The fund received the 2007 Lipper Fund Award.3

g  Lower quality bonds were among the period's best performers, as interest rates remained low and investors looked for added yield. The fund maintained a high quality focus, but benefited from exposure to lower quality investment grade securities with credit ratings of A and BBB. Holdings included some education and tobacco issues, as well as bonds issued for the construction of the new New York Mets baseball stadium. A slight bias toward the longer end of the intermediate universe in bonds with 12- to 20-year returns also benefited returns, as longer-term issues outperformed shorter-term bonds. During the period, we added 15-year bonds and trimmed bonds with one- to three-year maturities. The fund also picked up ground from an improved call structure that focused on bonds that were either noncallable (or not redeemable until maturity) or had call dates of 10 years or longer.

g  We believe the economic outlook for New York remains stable. On the positive side, both New York state and New York City coffers continue to benefit from strength on Wall Street. In addition, housing prices in the city have held up better than expected. Although upstate New York has lost manufacturing jobs, the state has had some recent success attracting new industries to the region. New York, however, remains saddled with a heavy tax burden and high level of debt outstanding. Going forward, we believe that heavy supply could create buying opportunities if it causes the difference between yields on comparable maturity municipals and Treasuries to widen so the market can absorb the supply.

1The Lehman Brothers 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index tracks the performance of municipal bonds issued after December 31, 1990 with remaining maturities between 2 and 17 years and at least $5 million in principal amount outstanding. Indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

2Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return (assuming reinvestment of distributions) for mutual funds with investment objectives similar to those of the fund. Lipper makes no adjustment for the effect of sales loads.

3The Lipper Fund Awards are presented annually by Lipper, a leading global mutual fund rating and research firm. The awards recognize funds that have excelled in delivering consistently strong risk-adjusted performance, relative to their peers. The award-winning funds are among the 130,000 funds Lipper tracks globally in 21 countries including Asia, Europe and the United States.

The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 3.25% for Class A (for the 6-month and 1-year periods), 4.75% for Class A shares (for the 5-year and 10-year periods) and 4.75% for Class T shares, respectively, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 3.00% for Class B, and 5.00% for Class G in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the fourth year for Class B shares and 1.00% in the seventh year for Class G shares and eliminated thereafter for Class B and Class G shares and 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The "without sales charge"returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower.

Prior to August 22, 2005, new purchases of Class A shares had a maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%.

Performance results reflect any waivers or reimbursements of fund expenses by the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no Rule 12b-1 fees. Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Please see the fund's prospectus for details.

The tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Class A, Class B, Class C, Class G and Class T are newer classes of shares, initially offered on November 18, 2002. Their returns include returns of Retail A shares (for Class A and Class T shares) and Retail B shares (for Class B, Class C and Class G shares) of the Galaxy Rhode Island Municipal Bond Fund (the "Galaxy Rhode Island Fund") for periods prior to November 18, 2002 (adjusted, as applicable, to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class A, Class B and Class C shares). The returns shown for Class B, Class C and Class G shares also include the returns of Retail A shares (adjusted, as applicable, to reflect the sales charges applicable to Class B, Class C and Class G shares) for periods prior to the inception of Retail B shares of the Galaxy Rhode Island Fund (March 1, 2001). Retail A shares were initially offered on December 20, 1994. The returns for Class Z shares include returns of Trust shares of the Galaxy Rhode Island Fund for periods prior to November 18, 2002, the date on which Class Z shares were initially offered by the fund, and the returns of Retail A shares of the Galaxy Rhode Island Fund for periods prior to June 19, 2000, the date on which Trust shares were initially offered by the Galaxy Rhode Island Fund. No returns have been restated to reflect any differences in expenses (such as Rule 12b-1 fees) between any predecessor share and the corresponding newer share class. If differences in expenses had been reflected, the returns shown for periods prior to the inception of the newer share classes would have been lower.

Understanding Your ExpensesColumbia Rhode Island Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund

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 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.

As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, Rule 12b-1 fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the 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 is calculated based on the fund's actual operating expenses. 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.

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 ongoing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, 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 any of its affiliates not waived or reimbursed a portion of expenses for Class C shares, account value at the end of the period 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 transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fund ProfileColumbia Rhode Island Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund

Summary

g  For the six-month period that ended April 30, 2007, the fund's class A shares returned 0.92% without sales charge. Class Z shares returned 1.04%. By comparison, the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Brothers 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index, which is national in scope, returned 1.43%,1 and the average return of the fund's peer group, the Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Classification2, was 1.04%.

g  Although the fund remained focused on higher quality bonds, a small investment in lower quality investment grade bonds with A and BBB ratings, especially in the tobacco and hospital sectors, aided returns. Lower quality issues beat higher-quality ones, as interest rates remained at relatively low levels and investors searched for added yield. The fund also benefited from having decent exposure to longer-maturity bonds, including those with 15- to 20-year maturities. Longer-maturity bonds outperformed shorter-maturity issues during the period.

g  We believe a slightly higher exposure to bonds with seven- to 10-year maturities and below-average exposure to lower quality investments hampered returns relative to the fund's peer group. The state of Rhode Island has tended to have much smaller issuance than many of, the other states in the fund's peer group, limiting buying opportunities, particularly among lower quality credits.

g  Although Rhode Island's economic recovery has been weaker than many other states, its fiscal outlook seems to be improving. Rhode Island's economy has benefited from incentives that have helped attract new jobs. In addition, local colleges have a strong following among current and prospective students. Like many states in the Northeast, however, Rhode Island faces a relatively high debt burden and an aging infrastructure. Going forward, we expect its municipal supply to remain limited. We plan to look for opportunities, where possible, to add lower quality investment grade issues and bonds in the 12- to 20-year maturity range with the goal of maintaining healthy income that is exempt from both state and federal taxes.

1The Lehman Brothers 3-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index tracks the performance of municipal bonds issued after December 31, 1990 with remaining maturities between 2 and 17 years and at least $5 million in principal amount outstanding. Indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Notes to Financial StatementsColumbia Tax-Exempt Bond Funds
April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization

Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the "Trust") is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the following funds of the Trust (individually referred to as a "Fund", collectively referred to as the "Funds"):

Columbia Connecticut Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund ("Connecticut")

Columbia Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund ("Intermediate Municipal")

Columbia Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund ("Massachusetts")

Columbia New Jersey Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund ("New Jersey")

Columbia New York Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund ("New York")

Columbia Rhode Island Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund ("Rhode Island")

Investment Goal

Each Fund, with the exception of Intermediate Municipal, seeks as high a level of current interest income exempt from federal income tax and, to the extent possible, from the personal income tax of its state, as is consistent with relative stability of principal. Intermediate Municipal seeks to provide investors with current income, exempt from federal income tax, consistent with preservation of capital. All Funds are non-diversified except for Intermediate Municipal and New Jersey. Intermediate Municipal is a diversified portfolio. New Jersey is operating as a diversified investment company.

Fund Shares

The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and each Fund offers six classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class G, Class T and Class Z. Each share class has its own expense structure and, as applicable, sales charges.

Class A and Class T shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.25% and 4.75%, respectively, based on the amount of initial investment. Class A and Class T shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") if the shares are sold within twelve months after purchase. Class B and Class G shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 3.00% and 5.00%, respectively, based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase and Class G shares will convert to Class T shares eight years after purchase. Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares sold within one year after purchase. Class Z shares are offered continuously at net asset value. There are certain restrictions on the purchase of Class Z shares, as described in each Fund's prospectus.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 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

Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Funds' Board of Trustees, based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation. Certain debt securities, which tend to be more thinly traded and of lesser quality, are priced based on fundamental analysis of the financial condition of the issuer and the estimated value of any collateral. Valuations developed through pricing techniques may vary from the actual amounts realized upon sale of the securities, and the potential variation may be greater for those securities valued using fundamental analysis.

Short-term debt obligations maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reliable, are valued at "fair value" as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.


138



Columbia Tax-Exempt Bond Funds (continued)
April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

If a security is valued at "fair value," such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security.

In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"), was issued. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is evaluating the impact the application of SFAS 157 will have on the Funds' financial statement disclosures.

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.

Futures Contracts

The Funds may invest in futures contracts to seek to enhance returns, to hedge some of the risks of its investments in fixed income securities or as a substitute for a position in the underlying assets. The use of futures contracts involves certain risks, which include: (1) imperfect correlation between the price movement of the instruments and the underlying securities, (2) inability to close out positions due to differing trading hours, or the temporary absence of a liquid market, for either the instrument or the underlying securities, or (3) an inaccurate prediction by Columbia Management Advisors, LLC ("Columbia"), the Funds' investment advisor, of the future direction of interest rates. Any of these risks may involve amounts exceeding the variation margin recorded in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities at any given time.

Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund deposits cash or securities with the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires.

Delayed Delivery Securities

Each Fund may trade securities on other than normal settlement terms, including securities purchased or sold on a "when-issued" basis. This may increase the risk if the other party to the transaction fails to deliver and causes a Fund to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. Each Fund holds until settlement date, in a segregated account, cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.

Income Recognition

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Original issue discount is accreted to interest income over the life of the security with a corresponding increase in the cost 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 class-specific expenses, as shown on the Statements of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Funds 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 income, if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, each Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that 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.

Indemnification

In the normal course of business, each Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. A Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, because this would involve future claims against a Fund. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and by contract, the trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of actions relating to their duties to the Trust. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss due to these representations, warranties and indemnities to be minimal.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (the "Interpretation"). This Interpretation is effective on the last business day of the semiannual reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to open tax positions upon initial adoption. This Interpretation prescribes a minimum recognition threshold and measurement method for the financial statement recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also requires certain expanded disclosures. Management is evaluating the application of this Interpretation to the Funds and has not at this time quantified the impact, if any, resulting from the adoption of this Interpretation on each Fund's financial statements.

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 based on each Fund's average daily net assets as follows:

Average Daily Net Assets   Annual Fee Rate  
First $500 million     0.48 %  
$500 million to $1 billion     0.43 %  
$1 billion to $1.5 billion     0.40 %  
$1.5 billion to $3 billion     0.37 %  
$3 billion to $6 billion     0.36 %  
Over $6 billion     0.35 %  

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the annualized effective investment advisory fee rates for the Funds, as a percentage of the Funds' average daily net assets, were as follows:

    Effective

Rhode Island     0.48 %  

 

Administration Fee

Columbia provides administrative and other services to the Funds for a monthly administration fee at the annual rate of 0.067% of each Fund's average daily net assets.

Pricing & Bookkeeping Fees

Effective December 15, 2006, the Funds entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement with State Street Bank & Trust Company ("State Street") and Columbia (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Funds. Also effective December 15, 2006, the Funds entered into an Accounting Services Agreement with State Street and Columbia (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") pursuant to which State Street provides accounting services to the Funds. Under the State Street Agreements, each Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly. In addition, each Fund pays a monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of average daily net assets of each Fund for the month. The aggregate fee during any year shall not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). The Funds also reimburse State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges.

Effective December 15, 2006, the Funds entered into a Pricing and Bookkeeping Oversight and Services Agreement (the "Services Agreement") with Columbia. Under the Services Agreement, Columbia provides services related to Fund expenses and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and provides oversight of the accounting and financial reporting services provided by State Street. Under the Services Agreement, the Funds reimburse Columbia for out-of-pocket expenses and direct internal costs relating to accounting oversight and for services relating to Fund expenses and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Prior to December 15, 2006, Columbia was responsible for providing pricing and bookkeeping services to the Funds under a pricing and bookkeeping agreement and was entitled to receive an annual fee at the same rate described above under the State Street Agreements. Under separate agreements between Columbia and State Street, Columbia delegated certain functions to State Street. As a result of the delegation, the total fees payable under the pricing and bookkeeping agreement (other than certain reimbursements paid to Columbia and discussed below) were paid to State Street. The Funds also reimbursed Columbia and State Street for out-of-pocket expenses and charges, including fees payable to third parties for pricing the Funds' portfolio securities and direct internal costs incurred by Columbia in connection with providing fund accounting oversight and monitoring and certain other services.

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the total amount paid to affiliates by the Funds under the Services Agreement was as follows:

Connecticut   $ 19,341    
Intermediate Municipal     31,867

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 and 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 services, paid monthly, at the annual rate of $17.00 per open account plus reimbursement of certain sub-transfer agent fees paid by the Transfer Agent (exclusive of BFDS fees), calculated based on assets held in omnibus accounts and intended to recover the cost of payments to other parties (including affiliates of BOA) for services to those accounts. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Funds. 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 Funds 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.

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the annualized effective transfer agent fee rates for the Funds, inclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and sub-transfer agent fees, as a percentage of the Funds' average daily net assets, were as follows:

    Transfer Agent

Massachusetts     0.09 %  
New Jersey     0.10 %

Underwriting Discounts, Service and Distribution Fees

Columbia Management Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of Columbia and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BOA, is the principal underwriter of the Funds. For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Distributor has retained net underwriting discounts on sales of the Funds' Class A and Class T shares. and net CDSC fees as follows:

    Front-End Sales Charge   CDSC  
    Class A   Class T   Class A   Class B   Class C   Class G  
Connecticut   $ 277     $ 39     $     $ 9,037     $ 1     $ 640

142



Columbia Tax-Exempt Bond Funds (continued)
April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

The Funds have adopted Rule 12b-1 plans (the "Plans"), which require the payment of a monthly service and distribution fee to the Distributor based on the average daily net assets of each Fund at the following annual rates:

    Distribution Fee   Service Fee  
    Class B   Class C   Class G2   Class A   Class B   Class C   Class G2  
Connecticut     0.75 %     0.75 %1     0.65 %     0.25 %     0.25 %     0.25 %     0.50 %  
Intermediate Municipal     0.65 %     0.65 %3     0.65 %     0.20 %     0.20 %     0.20 %     0.50 %  
Massachusetts     0.75 %     0.75 %1     0.65 %     0.25 %     0.25 %     0.25 %     0.50 %  
New Jersey     0.75 %     0.75 %1     0.65 %     0.25 %     0.25 %     0.25 %     0.50 %  
New York     0.75 %     0.75 %1     0.65 %     0.25 %     0.25 %     0.25 %     0.50 %  
Rhode Island     0.75 %     0.75 %1     0.65 %     0.25 %     0.25 %     0.25 %     0.50 %  

 

1  The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of Class C shares distribution fees so that the combined distribution and service fees will not exceed 0.65% annually of average net assets.

2  Under the Plans, the Funds do not intend to pay more than a total of 0.80% annually in distribution and service fees for Class G shares. Of the 0.50% service fee for Class G shares, 0.25% relates to shareholder liaison fees and 0.25% relates to administrative support fees.

3  The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of Intermediate Municipal's Class C share distribution fees so that the combined distribution and service fees will not exceed 0.40% annually of average net assets.

The CDSC and the distribution fees are used principally as repayment to the Distributor for amounts paid by the Distributor to dealers who sold such shares.

Shareholder Services Fee

Each Fund has adopted shareholder services plans that permit them to pay for certain services provided to Class T and Class Z shareholders by their financial advisors. Currently, the service plan has not been implemented with respect to the Funds' Class Z shares. The annual service fee may equal up to 0.50% annually for Class T shares, but will not exceed each Fund's net investment income attributable to Class T shares. Connecticut, Intermediate Municipal, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York do not intend to pay more than 0.15% during the current fiscal year annually for Class T shareholder services fees. No fees were charged during the current fiscal year under the Class T service plan with respect to Rhode Island.

Expense Limits and Fee Waivers

Columbia has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse certain expenses for Intermediate Municipal until February 28, 2008 to the extent that total expenses (exclusive of distribution and service fees, brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, if any) exceed 0.50% annually of Intermediate Municipal's average daily net assets. There is no guarantee that this arrangement will continue after February 28, 2008.

Custody Credits

Each Fund has an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may be reduced by balance credits. These credits are recorded as a reduction of total expenses in the Statements of Operations. The Funds could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if they had not entered into such an agreement.

Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees

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

The Funds' Trustees may participate in a deferred compensation plan which may be terminated at any time. Obligations of the plan will be paid solely out of the Funds' assets.

As a result of mergers discussed in Note 9, Intermediate Municipal assumed the liabilities of the deferred compensation plan of certain funds. The deferred compensation plan of these funds may be terminated at any time. Benefits under this deferred compensation plan are not funded and any payments


143



Columbia Tax-Exempt Bond Funds (continued)
April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

to plan participants are paid solely out of Intermediate Municipal's assets.

Note 5. Portfolio Information

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, were as follows:

    Purchases   Sales  
Connecticut   $ 15,375,936     $ 19,292,024    
Intermediate Municipal     266,378,313       302,179,457    
Massachusetts     27,366,444       26,178,190    
New Jersey     2,132,592       2,080,753    
New York     12,045,026       8,684,010    
Rhode Island     5,820,240       7,779,126    

 

Note 6. Line of Credit

The Funds and other affiliated funds participate in a $350,000,000 committed unsecured revolving line of credit and a $150,000,000 uncommitted, unsecured line of credit, both provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for temporary or emergency purposes.

Interest on the committed line of credit is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their pro-rata portion of the unutilized committed line of credit. Interest on the uncommitted line of credit is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a variable rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus a spread, as determined and quoted by State Street at the time of the request for a loan. A one-time structuring fee of $30,000 is also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the uncommitted line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds. In addition, if the uncommitted line of credit is extended for an additional period, an annual administration fee of $15,000 will be charged and apportioned among each participating fund. The commitment fee and structuring fee are included in "Other expenses" in the Statements of Operations.

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Funds did not borrow under these arrangements.

Note 7. Shares of Beneficial Interest

As of April 30, 2007, 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 of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Funds. The percentage of shares of beneficial interest outstanding held therein are as follows:

    % of Shares
Outstanding
Held
 
Connecticut     74.4    
Intermediate Municipal     89.3    
Massachusetts     79.1    
New Jersey     76.1    
New York     85.7    
Rhode Island     85.2    

 

Note 8. Disclosure of Significant Risks and Contingencies

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Funds hold investments that are insured by private insurers who guarantee the payment of principal and interest in the event of default or that are supported by a letter of credit. Each of the Funds' insurers is rated Aaa by Moody's Investor's Service, Inc. (Moody's) or rated AAA by Standard & Poor's, except for Radian Asset Assurance, Inc., which is rated Aa3 and AA by Moody's and Standard & Poor's, respectively. At April 30, 2007, investments supported by private insurers that represent greater than 5% of the total investments of the Funds were as follows:

Connecticut

MBIA Insurance Corp.     21.4

Geographic Concentration

Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island have greater than 5% of their total investments at April 30, 2007 invested in debt obligations issued by each state and their political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities. The Funds are more susceptible to economic and political factors adversely affecting issuers of each state's municipal securities than are municipal bond funds that are not concentrated to the same extent in these issuers.

Issuer Focus

As a non-diversified fund, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and Rhode Island may invest a greater percentage of its total assets in the securities of fewer issuers than a diversified fund. These Funds may, therefore, have a greater risk of loss from a few issuers than a similar fund that invests more broadly.

Tax Development Risk

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal of a state-court decision that might significantly affect how states tax in-state and out-of-state municipal bonds. If the Supreme Court determines that the U.S. Constitution prohibits states from treating the interest income on in-state municipal bonds differently from the income on out-of-state municipal bonds for state income tax purposes, most states likely will revisit the way in which they treat the interest on municipal bonds. This has the potential to increase significantly the amount of state tax paid by shareholders on exempt-interest dividends. You should consult your tax advisor to discuss the tax consequences of your investment in the Fund.

Each Fund purchases municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of bond counsel, is free from federal income tax. There is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will agree with this opinion. In the event the IRS determines that the issuers does not comply with relevant tax requirement, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued. As a shareholder of the Fund, you may be required to file an amended tax return as a result.

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") on matters relating to mutual fund trading. The SEC Order and the NYAG Settlement are referred to collectively as the "Settlements".

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 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 that was developed by an independent distribution consultant and approved by the SEC on April 6, 2007.

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 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 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. 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 were not dismissed.

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

On April 4, 2006, the plaintiffs and the Columbia defendants named in the MDL, including the Columbia Funds, entered into a term sheet containing the principal terms of a


146



Columbia Tax-Exempt Bond Funds (continued)
April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

stipulation of settlement that would settle all Columbia-related claims in the MDL described above, including the CDSC Lawsuit. On April 6, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland stayed all actions with respect to these Columbia-related claims. The settlement is subject to court approval.

In 2004, the Columbia Funds' adviser and distributor and certain affiliated entities and individuals 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. Certain Columbia Funds were named as nominal defendants. 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 purposes. 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 entered final judgment in favor of the defendants. The plaintiffs appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on December 30, 2005. A stipulation and settlement agreement dated January 19, 2007 was filed in the First Circuit on February 14, 2007, with a joint stipulation of dismissal and motion for remand to obtain district court approval of the settlement. That joint motion was granted and the appeal was dismissed. On March 6, 2007, the case was remanded to the District Court. On May 11, 2007, the District Court entered a preliminary approval order which granted preliminary approval of the settlement. A final settlement hearing, at which the District Court will determine whether the proposed settlement should be finally approved and the action dismissed on the merits with prejudice, is scheduled for September 18, 2007. The terms of the settlement, if finally approved, will require payments by the funds' adviser and/or its affiliates, including payment of plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and notice to class members. In the event that the settlement is not finally approved, the plaintiffs may elect to go forward with their appeal and no opinion is expressed regarding the likely outcome or financial impact of such an appeal on any fund.

Note 9. Business Combinations and Mergers

After the close of business on September 15, 2006, Columbia Florida Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund and Columbia Texas Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund (collectively, the "Target Funds") merged into Intermediate Municipal.
