Index performance is from March 8, 2004.
The fund commenced operations on November 23, 2009. The returns shown for periods prior to November 23, 2009 are the returns of CMG Ultra Short Term Bond Fund, the predecessor to the fund and a portfolio of Columbia Funds Institutional Trust.
Performance results reflect any fee waivers or reimbursements of fund expenses by the Investment Manager and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions.
The table does not reflect the deduction in taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.
The Citigroup One-Year U.S. Treasury Bill Index consists of a single 1-year U.S. Treasury Bill whose return is tracked until its maturity. Indices are not available for investment, are not professionally managed and do not reflect sales charges, fees, brokerage commissions, taxes or other expenses of investing. Securities in the fund may not match those in an index.
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.columbiamanagement.com for daily and most recent month-end performance updates.

Top 10 Holdings are calculated as a percentage of net assets and are subject to change. Because the fund is actively managed, there is no guarantee the fund will continue to maintain the holdings breakdown listed. The fund's holdings and their weights within the portfolio may change as market conditions change.
Investing in fixed-income securities may involve certain risks, including the credit quality of individual issuers, possible prepayments, market or economic developments and yields and share price fluctuations due to changes in interest rates. When interest rates go up, bond prices typically drop, and vice versa.

Understanding Your Expenses CMG Ultra Short Term 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:
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 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 ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory 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
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors 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 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 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.

1,000.00 | 1,000.00 | 1,007.00 | 1,023.95 | 1.26 | 1.28 | 0.25 |
Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio of 0.25%, 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 Manager and/or any of its affiliates not waived fees 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. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds.

Notes to Investment Portfolio:
(a) The interest rate shown on floating rate or variable rate securities reflects the rate at January 31, 2011.
(b) Parenthetical date represents the next interest rate reset date for the security.
(c) Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At January 31, 2011, these securities, which are not illiquid, amounted to $174,585,782, which represents 18.1% of net assets.
(d) Security is guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
(e) Cost for federal income tax purposes is $975,202,533.
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund's assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability's fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.

• Level 2 Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).
• Level 3 Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Fund Administrator, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment's fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Fund Administrator. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
The following table is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of January 31, 2011:

The Fund's assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using the market approach, in which a security's value is determined through reference to prices and information from market transactions for similar or identical assets.
Certain short-term obligations may be valued using amortized cost, an income approach which converts future cash flows to a present value based upon the discount or premium at purchase.
There were no significant transfers of financial assets between Levels 1 and 2 during the period.
The following table reconciles asset balances for the six month period ended January 31, 2011, in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value:

Notes to Financial Statements CMG Ultra Short Term Bond Fund
January 31, 2011 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
CMG Ultra Short Term Bond Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the Trust), is a diversified portfolio. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Shares of the Fund are available for purchase by institutional investors investing directly in the Fund, by institutional investors investing in the Fund as an advisory client of Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), and by institutional investors investing in the Fund as an advisory client of Bank of America Corporation. Please see the Fund's prospectus for further details, including applicable investment minimums.
Investment Objectives
The Fund seeks a high level of current income consistent with the maintenance of liquidity and the preservation of capital.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest which are offered continuously at net asset value.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the 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 date, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available may also be valued based upon 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.
Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are generally valued by pricing services, which utilize pricing models that incorporate the securities' cash flow and loan performance data. These models also take into account available market data, including trades, market quotations, and benchmark yield curves for identical or similar securities. Factors used to identify similar securities may include, but are not limited to, issuer, collateral type, vintage, prepayment speeds, collateral performance, credit ratings, credit enhancement and expected life. Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities for which quotations are readily available may also be valued based upon an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation.
Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
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. If a security is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security. The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine value.
15
CMG Ultra Short Term Bond Fund, January 31, 2011 (Unaudited)
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that management has determined are creditworthy. The Fund, through the custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Management is responsible for determining that the collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays in or restrictions on the Fund's ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
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.
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Market premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted. Original issue discount is accreted to interest income over the life of the security with a corresponding increase in the cost basis, if any.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other series of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund.
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 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
Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
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. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates
Investment Advisory Fee
The Investment Manager provides investment advisory services to the Fund. The Fund's investment advisory fee is a unified fee. The Investment Manager, out of the unified fee it receives from the Fund, pays all accounting fees, legal fees, transfer agent fees, custody fees, expenses of the Chief Compliance Officer, the commitment fee for the line of credit (see Note 6) and miscellaneous expenses of the Fund. The unified fee does not include brokerage fees, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent Trustees (including legal counsel fees), audit fees or extraordinary expenses, if any. The unified fee is paid monthly to the Investment Manager at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

16
CMG Ultra Short Term Bond Fund, January 31, 2011 (Unaudited)
Agreement (the Administrative Agreement), including services related to Fund expenses and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and oversight of the accounting and financial reporting services provided by State Street as discussed in the Pricing and Bookkeeping note below. The Investment Manager does not receive a fee for its services under the Administrative Agreement.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
The Fund entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the Financial Reporting Services Agreement) with State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street) and the Investment Manager pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. The Fund also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the State Street Agreements) with State Street and the Investment Manager pursuant to which State Street provides accounting services to the Fund. The pricing and bookkeeping fees for the Fund are paid by the Investment Manager.
Transfer Agent Fee
Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is the transfer agent of the Fund and has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent. The transfer agent fees for the Fund are payable by the Investment Manager. 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, Individual Retirement Account (IRA) trustee agent fees and account transcript fees due to 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.
Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements
The Investment Manager has contractually agreed to reimburse a portion of the Fund's expenses through November 30, 2011 so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding any distribution and service fees, brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any),after giving effect to any balance credits from the Fund's custodian, do not exceed the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets. There is no guarantee that this arrangement will continue after November 30, 2011.
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All officers of the Fund are employees of the Investment Manager 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, is charged its pro-rata share of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer. The expenses of the Chief Compliance Officer charged to the Fund are payable by the Investment Manager.
Trustees are compensated for their services to the Fund, as set forth on the Statement of Operations. The Trust's eligible 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 4. Portfolio Information

Management is required to determine whether a tax position of the Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized by the Fund is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, management's conclusions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). The Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 8 Significant Risks and Contingencies
Asset-Backed Securities Risk
The value of asset-backed securities may be affected by, among other factors, changes in interest rates, the market's assessment of the quality of underlying assets, the creditworthiness of the servicer for the underlying assets, factors concerning the interests in and structure of the issuer or the originator of the underlying assets, or the
18
CMG Ultra Short Term Bond Fund, January 31, 2011 (Unaudited)
creditworthiness or rating of the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds, derivative instruments, or other credit enhancement. The value of asset-backed securities also will be affected by the exhaustion, termination or expiration of any credit enhancement. Most asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is the possibility that the underlying debt may be refinanced or prepaid prior to maturity during periods of declining or low interest rates, causing the Fund to have to reinvest the money received in securities that have lower yields. In addition, the impact of prepayments on the value of asset-backed securities may be difficult to predict and may result in greater volatility.
Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk
The value of mortgage-backed securities may be affected by, among other things, changes in interest rates, factors concerning the interests in and structure of the issuer or the originator of the mortgages, the creditworthiness of the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds or other credit enhancements or the quality of underlying assets or the market's assessment thereof. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is the possibility that the underlying mortgage may be refinanced or prepaid prior to maturity during periods of declining or low interest rates, causing the Fund to have to reinvest the money received in securities that have lower yields. In addition, the impact of prepayments on the value of mortgage-backed securities may be difficult to predict and may result in greater volatility.
Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings
In June 2004, an action captioned John E. Gallus et al. v. American Express Financial Corp. and American Express Financial Advisors, Inc. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. The plaintiffs allege that they are investors in several American Express Company (now known as legacy RiverSource) mutual funds and they purport to bring the action derivatively on behalf of those funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The plaintiffs allege that fees allegedly paid to the defendants by the funds for investment advisory and administrative services are excessive. The plaintiffs seek remedies including restitution and rescission of investment advisory and distribution agreements. The plaintiffs voluntarily agreed to transfer this case to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (the District Court). In response to defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint, the District Court dismissed one of plaintiffs' four claims and granted plaintiffs limited discovery. Defendants moved for summary judgment in April 2007. Summary judgment was granted in the defendants' favor on July 9, 2007. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals (the Eighth Circuit) on August 8, 2007. On April 8, 2009, the Eighth Circuit reversed summary judgment and remanded to the District Court for further proceedings. On August 6, 2009, defendants filed a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court (the Supreme Court), asking the Supreme Court to stay the District Court proceedings while the Supreme Court considers and rules in a case captioned Jones v. Harris Associates, which involves issues of law similar to those presented in the Gallus case. On March 30, 2010, the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Jones v. Harris Associates, and on April 5, 2010, the Supreme Court vacated the Eighth Circuit's decision in the Gallus case and remanded the case to the Eighth Circuit for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court's decision in Jones v. Harris Associates. On June 4, 2010, the Eighth Circuit remanded the Gallus case to the District Court for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court's decision in Jones v. Harris Associates. On December 9, 2010, the District Court reinstated its July 9, 2007 summary judgment order in favor of the defendants. On January 10, 2011, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit.
In December 2005, without admitting or denying the allegations, American Express Financial Corporation (AEFC, which is now known as Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial)), entered into settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Minnesota Department of Commerce (MDOC) related to market timing activities. As a result, AEFC was censured and ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, and various Minnesota laws. AEFC agreed to pay disgorgement of $10 million and civil money penalties of $7 million. AEFC also agreed to retain an independent distribution consultant to assist in developing a plan for distribution of all disgorgement and civil penalties ordered by the SEC in accordance with various undertakings detailed at http://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/ia-2451.pdf. Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates have cooperated with the SEC and the MDOC in these legal proceedings, and have
19
CMG Ultra Short Term Bond Fund, January 31, 2011 (Unaudited)
made regular reports to the funds' Boards of Directors/Trustees.
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make 10-Q, 10-K and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.
