Important Information About This Report |
29 |
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 BofA Fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any particular BofA Fund. References to specific securities should not be construed as a recommendation or investment advice.
Understanding Your Expenses BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves
As a fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution (Rule 12b-1) and service 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 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 costs 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.
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 Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.bofacapital.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 888.331.0904. (Institutional Investors, please call 800.353.0828.)
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary 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.
The Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $1,000. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.

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 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 Financial Statements BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves
February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves (the "Fund"), a series of BofA Funds Series Trust (the "Trust"), is a non-diversified fund. 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 Delaware statutory trust.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks current income exempt from federal income tax and California individual income tax, consistent with capital preservation and maintenance of a high degree of liquidity.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares and the Fund offers seven classes of shares: Adviser Class, Capital Class, Daily Class, Institutional Class, Investor Class, Liquidity Class and Trust Class shares. Each class of shares is offered continuously at net asset value.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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.
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosures.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Securities in the Fund are valued utilizing the amortized cost valuation method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act subject to the conditions in such rule
being met, including that the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") continues to believe that the amortized cost valuation method fairly reflects the market-based net asset value per share of the Fund. This method involves valuing a portfolio security initially at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant accretion or amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, respectively. The Board has established procedures reasonably designed, taking into account the current market conditions and the Fund's investment objective, to ensure compliance with Rule 2a-7's requirements. These procedures include, among other things, determinations, at such intervals as the Board deems appropriate and reasonable in light of current market conditions, of the extent, if any, to which the Fund's market based net asset value deviates from $1.00 per share.
GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 Prices determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
• Level 2 Prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others).
• Level 3 Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
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.
18
BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
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.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
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" ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to 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 seeks to avoid federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The Fund generally intends to distribute any net realized capital gain (whether long-term or short-term gain) at least once a year. 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 may provide general indemnities. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and, in the case of the Trustees, 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. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Note 3. Federal Tax Information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carry forwards) under income tax regulations.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended August 31, 2013 was as follows:
Distributions paid from |
|||||||
Tax-Exempt Income |
$ |
26,628 |
|||||
Ordinary Income* |
29 |
* For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.
The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") requires that capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, the effective date of the Act (the "Effective Date"), be fully used before capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years prior to the Effective Date. Therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carry forwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after the Effective Date.
19
BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
As of August 31, 2013, the Fund had pre-Effective Date capital loss carry forwards which, if not used, will expire as follows:
Year of Expiration |

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 50 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.

Additionally, the Advisor has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") to provide certain administrative services under a sub-administration agreement. The Advisor pays State Street a fee for all services received under this agreement.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund's effective administration fee rate, net of fee waivers but including payments made to State Street for pricing and bookkeeping fees, as outlined below, was 0.04% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
The Trust has entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. The Trust has also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides
20
BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
accounting services to the Fund. Under the State Street Agreements, the Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly plus an additional monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of 0.015% of average daily net assets of the Fund. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). In addition, the Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges including fees associated with pricing the securities held in the Investment Portfolio.
Transfer Agent Fee
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") serves as transfer agent for the Fund's shares. Under a transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholders' servicing agent agreement with the Trust, the Transfer Agent provides transfer agency, dividend disbursing agency and shareholder servicing agency services to the Fund.
The Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $1,000. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the principal underwriter of the Fund's shares.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan ("Distribution Plan") for the Daily Class, Investor Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act permits the Fund to compensate and/or reimburse the Distributor for distribution services provided by it and related expenses incurred, including payments by the Distributor to eligible financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Funds and providing services to investors.
The Trust also has adopted a shareholder servicing plan ("Shareholder Servicing Plan") for the Adviser Class, Daily Class, Investor Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Shareholder Servicing Plan permits the Fund to compensate eligible financial intermediaries for providing shareholder services. A substantial portion of the expenses
incurred pursuant to the Shareholder Servicing Plan is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.

This fee and expense arrangement may only be modified or amended with the approval of all parties to such arrangement, including the Fund (acting through its Board) and the Distributor.
** To the extent that the Liquidity Class shares of the Fund make payments and/or reimbursements pursuant to the Distribution Plan and/or the Shareholder Servicing Plan, the combined total of such payments and/or reimbursements may not exceed, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Liquidity Class shares.
Shareholder Administration Fees
The Trust has adopted shareholder administration plans ("Administration Plans") for the Institutional Class and Trust Class shares of the Fund. Under the Administration Plans, the Fund may pay the Advisor, the Distributor and/or eligible financial intermediaries a fee for shareholder administration services that is in addition to the fees it pays to the Advisor for overseeing the administrative operations of such Fund. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to these plans is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.

Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements
The Advisor and/or some of the Fund's other service providers have contractually agreed to bear a portion of the Fund's expenses through December 31, 2014, so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding any
distribution, shareholder servicing and/or shareholder administration fees, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any), do not exceed the annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
The Advisor and the Distributor are entitled to recover from the Fund certain fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed for a three-year period following the date of such waiver and/or reimbursement if such recovery does not cause the Fund's total operating expenses to exceed the expense commitment in effect at the time the expenses to be recovered were incurred.
At February 28, 2014, the amounts potentially recoverable pursuant to this arrangement are as follows:

The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary in order to maintain a minimum annualized net yield for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yield in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is fully utilized. These reimbursements are voluntary and may be modified or discontinued by the Distributor or the Advisor at any time.
Under the Distribution Plan for the Liquidity Class shares, the Trust is currently not reimbursing the Distributor for distribution expenses. Unreimbursed expenses incurred by the Distributor in a given year may not be recovered by the Distributor in subsequent years.
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All Officers of the Trust are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the
Trust in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of a portion of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer.
Trustees are compensated for their services to the Fund, as set forth on the Statement of Operations.
Note 5. Line of Credit
The Fund and the other series of the Trust participate in a $750 million uncommitted, unsecured line of credit provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.
Interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. An annual administration fee of $10,000 is also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund did not borrow under this arrangement.
22
BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Note 6. Shareholder Concentration
Certain funds, accounts, individuals or affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Fund's shares. Shares held in omnibus accounts may be beneficially held by one or more individuals or entities other than the owner of record.
Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 7. Significant Risks and Contingencies
The Fund's risks include, but are not limited to the following:
Securities Risk
The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due.
Redemption/Liquidity Risk
The Fund may be subject to redemption risk. The Fund may need to sell portfolio securities to meet shareholder redemption requests. In this scenario, the Fund may not be able to sell portfolio securities because such securities may be deemed illiquid. In such events, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate cash to pay redeeming shareholders. The Fund reserves the right to pay redemption proceeds with securities (a "redemption in kind'). The Fund may, in certain circumstances, suspend redemptions or the payment of redemption proceeds when permitted by applicable rules and regulations.
Non-Diversification Risk
The Fund is non-diversified, which generally means that it may invest a greater percentage of the total assets in the securities of fewer issuers than a "diversified" fund. This increases the risk that a change in the value of any one investment held by a Fund could affect the value of shares of the Fund more than it would affect the value of shares of a diversified fund holding a greater number of investments. Accordingly, the Fund's value will likely be more volatile than the value of more diversified funds. The Fund may not operate as a non-diversified fund at all times.
Geographic Concentration Risk
The Fund invests primarily in debt obligations issued by the State of California, and its political subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities and authorities, and other qualified issuers that may be located outside of California. The Fund is more susceptible to economic and political factors adversely affecting issuers of this state's municipal securities than are municipal bond funds that are not concentrated to the same extent in these issuers.
Legal Proceedings
The Advisor and the Distributor (collectively, the "BofA Group") remain subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") (the "NYAG Settlement") and a settlement order with the SEC (the "SEC Order") on matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires the Advisor and its affiliates to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the BofA Group providing services to the BofA Funds, the BofA Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of its Board and certain special consulting and compliance measures. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the BofA Group (or predecessor or affiliated entities) agreed, among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; and maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures.

Board Consideration and Re-Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)
Even though the following description of the Board's consideration of the investment advisory agreement covers multiple funds, for purposes of this shareholder report, the description is only relevant as to the Fund.
The Board of Trustees (the "Board") of BofA Funds Series Trust (the "Trust"), including a majority of the Trustees who have no direct or indirect interest in the Trust's investment advisory agreement and are not "interested persons" of the Trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") (the "Independent Trustees"), are required annually to review and re-approve the existing investment advisory agreement. Consistent with this requirement, the Board reviewed and re-approved, during the most recent six months covered by this report, the investment advisory agreement with BofA Advisors, LLC ("BoAA") and the Trust, on behalf of BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves, BofA Cash Reserves, BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves, BofA Government Plus Reserves, BofA Government Reserves, BofA Massachusetts Municipal Reserves, BofA Money Market Reserves, BofA Municipal Reserves, BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves, BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves and BofA Treasury Reserves. The Trust's investment advisory agreement with BoAA is referred to as the "Advisory Agreement." The funds identified above are each referred to individually as a "Fund" and collectively referred to as the "Funds."
More specifically, at a meeting held on December 8-10, 2013, the Board, including the Independent Trustees advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of BoAA and the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement. The Board also reviewed and considered a report prepared and provided by an independent fee consultant (the "Fee Consultant") appointed by the Independent Trustees. The Fee Consultant's role was to manage, and provide input regarding, the process by which the investment advisory fees payable by the Funds under the Advisory Agreement are negotiated. The Fee Consultant found that the Board had the relevant information necessary to evaluate the reasonableness of the proposed management fees for each Fund and that the fee negotiation process was, to the extent practicable, at arms' length and reasonable. A summary of the Fee Consultant's report is available at http://www.bofacapital.com.
In preparation for the December meeting, the Board met in October 2013 to review and discuss the materials described below. The Board also received performance and other reports at its quarterly meetings, and the Board's Contracts Review Committee met on multiple occasions prior to the October meeting to assist the Board in preparation for the Board's consideration of the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement. BoAA's responses to a detailed series of requests submitted by the Fee Consultant and the Independent Trustees' independent legal counsel on the Board's behalf also were presented to the Board. All of these submissions and reports were considered by the Board in the context of, among other things, the recent history of money market funds and the investments available to such funds, as well as possible changes in markets and the regulatory scheme in which such funds operate. The Board's review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to it and are not the result of any single controlling factor. The Board evaluated all information available to it on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and its determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreement by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from BoAA.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board received and considered various data and information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by BoAA under the Advisory Agreement. BoAA's most recent form registering it as an investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission was also made available to the Board. The Board reviewed and analyzed those materials, which included, among other things, information about the background and experience of senior management and investment personnel of BoAA.
In addition, the Board considered the investment and compliance programs of the Funds and BoAA, including reports of the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer as well as periodic reports from an Independent Compliance Consultant. In this connection, the Board considered information regarding BoAA's ongoing monitoring and risk management oversight activities, including BoAA's "stress testing" initiatives that were presented to the Board on a quarterly basis throughout the year.
24
The Board evaluated the ability of BoAA and certain of its affiliates, based on their resources, reputation and other attributes, to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. In this regard, the Board considered information regarding the nature of BoAA's compensation structure applicable to portfolio managers and other key investment personnel. In addition, the Board took into account the administrative services provided to the Funds by BoAA, including BoAA's oversight of third party service providers.
Based on the above factors, together with those referenced below, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to each of the Funds by BoAA.
Investment Advisory Fee Rates and Other Expenses. The Board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual investment advisory fee rates both separately and together with the administration fee rates payable by the Funds (the "Contractual Management Fee Rates"). In addition, the Board reviewed the proposed fee waiver/cap arrangements applicable to the Contractual Management Fee Rates and considered the Contractual Management Fee Rates after taking the proposed waivers/caps into account (the "Actual Management Fee Rates"). The Board also noted that the Fund's distributor, BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), had voluntarily undertaken to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.00% for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Board noted that BoAA had voluntarily undertaken to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yields in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is not sufficient to maintain the minimum annualized net yields described above. The Board noted that these undertakings, as well as other applicable voluntary waivers and expense caps for certain Funds, were voluntary and could be modified or discontinued by the Distributor and/or BoAA at any time.
The Board reviewed and considered statistical information regarding each Fund's total expense ratio and its various components, including contractual advisory fees, actual advisory fees, administration fees, actual non-management
fees, Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder servicing and administration fees, fee waivers/caps and/or expense reimbursements. The Board also reviewed comparisons of these fees to the expense information for the group of funds determined to be most similar to a given Fund (the "Peer Group") and to a broader universe of relevant funds (the "Universe"). Lipper Inc., an independent provider of investment company data, selected the funds in each Fund's Universe based on the subsets of the iMoneyNet category peers, which include mutual funds that are viewed by BoAA as direct competitor peers to the Funds in the institutional market and share similar distribution platforms, expense structures and investment objectives. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used to select the mutual funds in each Fund's Peer Group(s) and Universe. Additional comparisons and other data also were prepared by, or at the direction of, the Fee Consultant, which the Board considered during its deliberations.
The Board considered the Contractual and Actual Management Fee Rates and total expense ratio of each Fund on a Fund-by-Fund basis. In this regard, the Board received information comparing each Fund's total expense ratio, Contractual Management Fee Rate and Actual Management Fee Rate to its Peer Group and assigning a quintile ranking for each such category. For example, a Fund that ranked in the first quintile for total expense ratio had a lower expense ratio than at least 80% of the funds in its Peer Group. Where a Fund's total expense ratio, Contractual Management Fee Rate and/or Actual Management Fee Rate was above the median range of its Peer Group (meaning that it ranked in the fourth or fifth quintile), the Board noted other applicable factors described below. In this connection, with respect to BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves, the Board noted that the Fund's total expense ratio was above the median range of its Peer Group.
The Board generally noted other applicable factors, including, among others, competitive investment performance, the quality of administrative and/or shareholder services, the Fund's total expense ratios for other classes, the Fund's expense cap and waiver arrangements and/or comparisons to subsets of funds and institutional account fees in considering the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement.
Fund Performance. The Board considered the investment performance results for each of the Funds over multiple
25
measurement periods. It also considered these results in comparison to the performance results of each Fund's Universe. In particular, in considering the investment performance of each Fund, the Board compared the net return investment performance of representative classes of each Fund to its Universe, which included funds with similar pricing structures and Rule 12b-1 fees. In addition, the Board considered information regarding how BoAA and its affiliates analyze and manage potential risks to the Funds, including BoAA's credit review process and the nature of the Funds' investments.
Profitability. The Board received and considered a detailed profitability analysis of BoAA based on the Contractual Management Fee Rates and the Actual Management Fee Rates, as well as on other relationships between the Funds and BoAA affiliates. The analysis included complex-wide and per-Fund information and was derived from allocation methodologies estimating certain expenses of the Funds. The Board also reviewed information compiled by Lipper comparing profitability information for BoAA to other management companies for which information was publicly available. After reviewing such materials in detail, the Board did not deem the profits and other ancillary benefits that BoAA and its affiliates received from providing these services to be unreasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Board received and considered information regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Funds, whether the Funds have appropriately benefited from any economies of scale and whether there is potential for realization of further economies of scale. The Board also considered information from management regarding potential sources of economies of scale and the impact of decreases in overall Fund assets and the current yield environment on BoAA's ability to realize and share economies of scale. The Board concluded that any potential economies of scale are shared fairly with Fund shareholders, most particularly through breakpoints, fee waiver arrangements and further investments by BoAA relating to services provided to the Funds.
Information About Services to Other BoAA Clients. The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services and fee rates offered by BoAA to its other clients, including institutional investors,
unregistered and offshore funds and clients for which BoAA serves as a sub-advisor. In this regard, the Board concluded that, where the Contractual Management Fee Rates and Actual Management Fee Rates were appreciably above the range of the fee rates charged to other BoAA clients, based on information provided by BoAA, the additional services provided, costs and risks associated with sponsoring, managing and operating the Funds provided a justification for the higher fee rates charged to the Funds.
Other Benefits to BoAA. The Board received and considered information regarding potential "fall-out" or ancillary benefits that could be received by BoAA and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. Such benefits include, among others, benefits attributable to BoAA's relationship with the Funds (such as benefits realized by an affiliated broker) and benefits potentially derived from an increase in BoAA's business as a result of its relationship with the Funds (such as the ability to market to shareholders other financial products offered by BoAA and its affiliates).
The Board did not deem such benefits to be unreasonable.
Other Factors and Broader Review. As discussed above, the Board reviewed materials received from BoAA during the re-approval process under Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act. The Board also reviewed and assessed the quality of the services the Funds received from BoAA and its affiliates throughout the year, including in light of regulatory and market developments impacting money market funds. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of BoAA at each of the quarterly meetings and, as necessary, more frequently, which included, among other things, investment performance reports and reports comparing the Funds to certain competitors. In addition, the Board conferred with the Funds' investment personnel at various times throughout the year.
Conclusion. After an evaluation of the above-described factors, and based on its deliberations and analysis of the information provided and alternatives considered, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the compensation payable to BoAA under the Advisory Agreement is fair and equitable. Accordingly, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously re-approved the Advisory Agreement.

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 BofA Fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any particular BofA Fund. References to specific securities should not be construed as a recommendation or investment advice.
Understanding Your Expenses BofA Cash Reserves
As a fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution (Rule 12b-1) and service 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 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 costs 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.
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:
n For shareholders who receive their account statements from Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.bofacapital.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 888.331.0904. (Institutional Investors, please call 800.353.0828.)
n For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary 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.
The Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $1,000. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.

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 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 Financial Statements BofA Cash Reserves
February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
BofA Cash Reserves (the "Fund"), a series of BofA Funds Series Trust (the "Trust"), is a diversified fund. 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 Delaware statutory trust.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks current income, consistent with capital preservation and maintenance of a high degree of liquidity.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and the Fund offers ten classes of shares: Adviser Class, Capital Class, Daily Class, Institutional Capital, Institutional Class, Investor Class, Investor II Class, Liquidity Class, Marsico and Trust Class shares. Each class of shares is offered continuously at net asset value. After the close of business on September 30, 2011, Class A shares were renamed Investor II Class shares and Class B shares and Class C shares converted into Investor II Class shares. On October 1, 2011, Institutional Capital shares commenced operations and Class Z shares were converted into Institutional Capital shares.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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.
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosures.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Securities in the Fund are valued utilizing the amortized cost valuation method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act subject to the conditions in such rule being met, including that the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") continues to believe that the amortized cost valuation method fairly reflects the market-based net asset value per share of the Fund. This method involves valuing a portfolio security initially at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant accretion or amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, respectively. The Board has established procedures reasonably designed, taking into account the current market conditions and the Fund's investment objective, to ensure compliance with Rule 2a-7's requirements. These procedures include, among other things, determinations, at such intervals as the Board deems appropriate and reasonable in light of current market conditions, of the extent, if any, to which the Fund's market based net asset value deviates from $1.00 per share.
GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 Prices determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
• Level 2 Prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others).
• Level 3 Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
27
BofA Cash Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Security Transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that BofA Advisors, LLC, the Fund's investment advisor (the "Advisor"), determines are creditworthy. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by the securities purchased by the Fund under the repurchase agreements, which may include securities that the Fund is not otherwise directly permitted to purchase, such as long-term government bonds, investment-grade corporate bonds and equity securities. The Advisor is responsible for determining that such underlying securities are 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.
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
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.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
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" ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to 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 seeks to avoid federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The Fund generally intends to distribute any net realized capital gain (whether long-term or short-term gain) at least once a year. 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 may provide general indemnities. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and, in the case of the Trustees, 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. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Note 3. Capital Support
On October 5, 2009, an affiliate of the Advisor purchased certain securities owned by the Fund. In addition, on October 8, 2009, an affiliate of the Advisor made a capital contribution to the Fund of $21,755,102.
Note 4. Federal Tax Information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax
28
BofA Cash Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carry forwards) under income tax regulations.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended August 31, 2013 was as follows:
Distributions paid from |
|||||||
Ordinary Income* |
$ |
5,805,527 |
* For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.
The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") requires that capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, the effective date of the Act (the "Effective Date"), be fully used before capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years prior to the Effective Date. Therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carry forwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after the Effective Date.
As of August 31, 2013, the Fund had pre-Effective Date capital loss carry forwards which, if not used, will expire as follows:
Year of Expiration |
Capital Loss Carry Forwards |
||||||
2017 |
$ |
2,345,565 |
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 50 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 5. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates and Other Expenses
Investment Advisory Fee
The Advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("BAC"), provides investment advisory services to the Fund. The Advisor receives a monthly investment advisory fee, calculated based on the combined average daily net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates:

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the combined investment advisory fee and administration fee for the Fund to an annual rate of 0.19% of the Fund's average daily net assets through December 31, 2014. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date. In addition, the Advisor, at its discretion, has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its Advisory fee. This waiver may be modified or discontinued by the Advisor at any time.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund's effective investment advisory fee rate, net of fee waivers, was 0.14% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fee
The Advisor provides administrative and other services to the Fund for a monthly administration fee, calculated based on the combined average daily net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the

Additionally, the Advisor has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") to provide certain administrative services under a sub-administration agreement. The Advisor pays State Street a fee for all services received under this agreement.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund's effective administration fee rate, net of fee waivers but including payments made to State Street for pricing and bookkeeping fees, as outlined below, was 0.04% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
The Trust has entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. The Trust has also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") with State Street and the Advisor 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 plus an additional monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of 0.015% of average daily net assets of the Fund. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). In addition, the Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges including fees associated with pricing the securities held in the Investment Portfolio.
Effective February 1, 2013, the Accounting Services Agreement was amended to reflect Shadow Pricing Services
pursuant to which State Street provides a daily shadow net asset value calculation for the Fund. Under the agreement, the Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $20,000 paid monthly.
Transfer Agent Fee
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") serves as transfer agent for the Fund's shares. Under a transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholders' servicing agent agreement with the Trust, the Transfer Agent provides transfer agency, dividend disbursing agency and shareholder servicing agency services to the Fund.
The Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $1,000. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the principal underwriter of the Fund's shares.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan ("Distribution Plan") for the Daily Class, Investor Class, Investor II Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act permits the Fund to compensate and/or reimburse the Distributor for distribution services provided by it and related expenses incurred, including payments by the Distributor to eligible financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Funds and providing services to investors.
The Trust also has adopted a shareholder servicing plan ("Shareholder Servicing Plan") for the Adviser Class, Daily Class, Investor Class, Investor II Class, Liquidity Class and Marsico shares of the Fund. The Shareholder Servicing Plan permits the Fund to compensate eligible financial intermediaries for providing shareholder services. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to the Shareholder Servicing Plan is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.

There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date. In addition, the Advisor, at its discretion, has voluntarily agreed to bear an additional portion of the Fund's expenses. This voluntary expense limitation may be modified or discontinued by the Advisor at any time.
The Advisor and the Distributor are entitled to recover from the Fund certain fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed for a three-year period following the date of such waiver and/or reimbursement if such recovery does not cause the Fund's total operating expenses to exceed the expense commitment in effect at the time the expenses to be recovered were incurred.

The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary in order to maintain a minimum annualized net yield for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yield in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is fully utilized. These reimbursements are voluntary and may be modified or discontinued by the Distributor or the Advisor at any time.
Under the Distribution Plan for the Liquidity Class shares, the Trust is currently not reimbursing the Distributor for distribution expenses. Unreimbursed expenses incurred by the Distributor in a given year may not be recovered by the Distributor in subsequent years.
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All Officers of the Trust are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of a portion of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer.
Trustees are compensated for their services to the Fund, as set forth on the Statement of Operations. There are balances reflected as "Trustees' deferred compensation plan" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities which relate to pending payments to retired trustees under legacy deferred compensation plans.
Note 6. Line of Credit
The Fund and the other series of the Trust participate in a $750 million uncommitted, unsecured line of credit provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.
Interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. An annual administration fee of $10,000 is
also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund did not borrow under this arrangement.
Note 7. Shareholder Concentration
Certain funds, accounts, individuals or affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Fund's shares. Shares held in omnibus accounts may be beneficially held by one or more individuals or entities other than the owner of record.
Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 8. Significant Risks and Contingencies
The Fund's risks include, but are not limited to the following:
Securities Risk
The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due.
The Fund may be subject to mortgage-related risk. The value of mortgage-backed securities can fall if the owners of the underlying mortgages default or pay off their mortgages sooner than expected, which could happen when interest rates fall, or pay off their mortgages later than expected, which could happen when interest rates rise.
The Fund may be subject to asset-backed securities risk. Payment of interest and repayment of principal may be impacted by the cash flows generated by the assets backing these securities. The value of the Fund's asset-backed securities may also be affected by changes in interest rates, the availability of information concerning the interests in and structure of the pools of purchase contracts, financing leases or sales agreements that are represented by these securities, the creditworthiness of the underlying securities or the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements.

BofA Cash Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Redemption/Liquidity Risk
The Fund may be subject to redemption risk. The Fund may need to sell portfolio securities to meet shareholder redemption requests. In this scenario, the Fund may not be able to sell portfolio securities because such securities may be deemed illiquid. In such events, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate cash to pay redeeming shareholders. The Fund reserves the right to pay redemption proceeds with securities (a "redemption in kind'). The Fund may, in certain circumstances, suspend redemptions or the payment of redemption proceeds when permitted by applicable rules and regulations.
Legal Proceedings
The Advisor and the Distributor (collectively, the "BofA Group") remain subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") (the "NYAG Settlement") and a settlement order with the SEC (the "SEC Order") on matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires the Advisor and its affiliates to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the BofA Group providing services to the BofA Funds, the BofA Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of its Board and certain special consulting and compliance measures. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the BofA Group (or predecessor or affiliated entities) agreed, among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; and maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures.

Board Consideration and Re-Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)
Even though the following description of the Board's consideration of the investment advisory agreement covers multiple funds, for purposes of this shareholder report, the description is only relevant as to the Fund.
The Board of Trustees (the "Board") of BofA Funds Series Trust (the "Trust"), including a majority of the Trustees who have no direct or indirect interest in the Trust's investment advisory agreement and are not "interested persons" of the Trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") (the "Independent Trustees"), are required annually to review and re-approve the existing investment advisory agreement. Consistent with this requirement, the Board reviewed and re-approved, during the most recent six months covered by this report, the investment advisory agreement with BofA Advisors, LLC ("BoAA") and the Trust, on behalf of BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves, BofA Cash Reserves, BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves, BofA Government Plus Reserves, BofA Government Reserves, BofA Massachusetts Municipal Reserves, BofA Money Market Reserves, BofA Municipal Reserves, BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves, BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves and BofA Treasury Reserves. The Trust's investment advisory agreement with BoAA is referred to as the "Advisory Agreement." The funds identified above are each referred to individually as a "Fund" and collectively referred to as the "Funds."
More specifically, at a meeting held on December 8-10, 2013, the Board, including the Independent Trustees advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of BoAA and the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement. The Board also reviewed and considered a report prepared and provided by an independent fee consultant (the "Fee Consultant") appointed by the Independent Trustees. The Fee Consultant's role was to manage, and provide input regarding, the process by which the investment advisory fees payable by the Funds under the Advisory Agreement are negotiated. The Fee Consultant found that the Board had the relevant information necessary to evaluate the reasonableness of the proposed management fees for each Fund and that the fee negotiation process was, to the extent practicable, at arms' length and reasonable. A summary of the Fee Consultant's report is available at http://www.bofacapital.com.
In preparation for the December meeting, the Board met in October 2013 to review and discuss the materials described below. The Board also received performance and other reports at its quarterly meetings, and the Board's Contracts Review Committee met on multiple occasions prior to the October meeting to assist the Board in preparation for the Board's consideration of the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement. BoAA's responses to a detailed series of requests submitted by the Fee Consultant and the Independent Trustees' independent legal counsel on the Board's behalf also were presented to the Board. All of these submissions and reports were considered by the Board in the context of, among other things, the recent history of money market funds and the investments available to such funds, as well as possible changes in markets and the regulatory scheme in which such funds operate. The Board's review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to it and are not the result of any single controlling factor. The Board evaluated all information available to it on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and its determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreement by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from BoAA.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board received and considered various data and information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by BoAA under the Advisory Agreement. BoAA's most recent form registering it as an investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission was also made available to the Board. The Board reviewed and analyzed those materials, which included, among other things, information about the background and experience of senior management and investment personnel of BoAA.
In addition, the Board considered the investment and compliance programs of the Funds and BoAA, including reports of the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer as well as periodic reports from an Independent Compliance Consultant. In this connection, the Board considered information regarding BoAA's ongoing monitoring and risk management oversight activities, including BoAA's "stress testing" initiatives that were presented to the Board on a quarterly basis throughout the year.
34
The Board evaluated the ability of BoAA and certain of its affiliates, based on their resources, reputation and other attributes, to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. In this regard, the Board considered information regarding the nature of BoAA's compensation structure applicable to portfolio managers and other key investment personnel. In addition, the Board took into account the administrative services provided to the Funds by BoAA, including BoAA's oversight of third party service providers.
Based on the above factors, together with those referenced below, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to each of the Funds by BoAA.
Investment Advisory Fee Rates and Other Expenses. The Board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual investment advisory fee rates both separately and together with the administration fee rates payable by the Funds (the "Contractual Management Fee Rates"). In addition, the Board reviewed the proposed fee waiver/cap arrangements applicable to the Contractual Management Fee Rates and considered the Contractual Management Fee Rates after taking the proposed waivers/caps into account (the "Actual Management Fee Rates"). The Board also noted that the Fund's distributor, BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), had voluntarily undertaken to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.00% for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Board noted that BoAA had voluntarily undertaken to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yields in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is not sufficient to maintain the minimum annualized net yields described above. The Board noted that these undertakings, as well as other applicable voluntary waivers and expense caps for certain Funds, were voluntary and could be modified or discontinued by the Distributor and/or BoAA at any time.
The Board reviewed and considered statistical information regarding each Fund's total expense ratio and its various components, including contractual advisory fees, actual advisory fees, administration fees, actual non-management
fees, Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder servicing and administration fees, fee waivers/caps and/or expense reimbursements. The Board also reviewed comparisons of these fees to the expense information for the group of funds determined to be most similar to a given Fund (the "Peer Group") and to a broader universe of relevant funds (the "Universe"). Lipper Inc., an independent provider of investment company data, selected the funds in each Fund's Universe based on the subsets of the iMoneyNet category peers, which include mutual funds that are viewed by BoAA as direct competitor peers to the Funds in the institutional market and share similar distribution platforms, expense structures and investment objectives. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used to select the mutual funds in each Fund's Peer Group(s) and Universe. Additional comparisons and other data also were prepared by, or at the direction of, the Fee Consultant, which the Board considered during its deliberations.
The Board considered the Contractual and Actual Management Fee Rates and total expense ratio of each Fund on a Fund-by-Fund basis. In this regard, the Board received information comparing each Fund's total expense ratio, Contractual Management Fee Rate and Actual Management Fee Rate to its Peer Group and assigning a quintile ranking for each such category. For example, a Fund that ranked in the first quintile for total expense ratio had a lower expense ratio than at least 80% of the funds in its Peer Group. Where a Fund's total expense ratio, Contractual Management Fee Rate and/or Actual Management Fee Rate was above the median range of its Peer Group (meaning that it ranked in the fourth or fifth quintile), the Board noted other applicable factors described below. In this connection, with respect to BofA Cash Reserves, the Board noted that the Fund's Contractual Management Fee Rate, Actual Management Fee Rate and total expense ratio were each above the median range of its Peer Group.
The Board generally noted other applicable factors, including, among others, competitive investment performance, the quality of administrative and/or shareholder services, the Fund's total expense ratios for other classes, the Fund's expense cap and waiver arrangements and/or comparisons to subsets of funds and institutional account fees in considering the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement.
35
Fund Performance. The Board considered the investment performance results for each of the Funds over multiple measurement periods. It also considered these results in comparison to the performance results of each Fund's Universe. In particular, in considering the investment performance of each Fund, the Board compared the net return investment performance of representative classes of each Fund to its Universe, which included funds with similar pricing structures and Rule 12b-1 fees. In addition, the Board considered information regarding how BoAA and its affiliates analyze and manage potential risks to the Funds, including BoAA's credit review process and the nature of the Funds' investments.
Profitability. The Board received and considered a detailed profitability analysis of BoAA based on the Contractual Management Fee Rates and the Actual Management Fee Rates, as well as on other relationships between the Funds and BoAA affiliates. The analysis included complex-wide and per-Fund information and was derived from allocation methodologies estimating certain expenses of the Funds. The Board also reviewed information compiled by Lipper comparing profitability information for BoAA to other management companies for which information was publicly available. After reviewing such materials in detail, the Board did not deem the profits and other ancillary benefits that BoAA and its affiliates received from providing these services to be unreasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Board received and considered information regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Funds, whether the Funds have appropriately benefited from any economies of scale and whether there is potential for realization of further economies of scale. The Board also considered information from management regarding potential sources of economies of scale and the impact of decreases in overall Fund assets and the current yield environment on BoAA's ability to realize and share economies of scale. The Board concluded that any potential economies of scale are shared fairly with Fund shareholders, most particularly through breakpoints, fee waiver arrangements and further investments by BoAA relating to services provided to the Funds.
Information About Services to Other BoAA Clients. The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services and fee rates offered by
BoAA to its other clients, including institutional investors, unregistered and offshore funds and clients for which BoAA serves as a sub-advisor. In this regard, the Board concluded that, where the Contractual Management Fee Rates and Actual Management Fee Rates were appreciably above the range of the fee rates charged to other BoAA clients, based on information provided by BoAA, the additional services provided, costs and risks associated with sponsoring, managing and operating the Funds provided a justification for the higher fee rates charged to the Funds.
Other Benefits to BoAA. The Board received and considered information regarding potential "fall-out" or ancillary benefits that could be received by BoAA and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. Such benefits include, among others, benefits attributable to BoAA's relationship with the Funds (such as benefits realized by an affiliated broker) and benefits potentially derived from an increase in BoAA's business as a result of its relationship with the Funds (such as the ability to market to shareholders other financial products offered by BoAA and its affiliates).
The Board did not deem such benefits to be unreasonable.
Other Factors and Broader Review. As discussed above, the Board reviewed materials received from BoAA during the re-approval process under Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act. The Board also reviewed and assessed the quality of the services the Funds received from BoAA and its affiliates throughout the year, including in light of regulatory and market developments impacting money market funds. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of BoAA at each of the quarterly meetings and, as necessary, more frequently, which included, among other things, investment performance reports and reports comparing the Funds to certain competitors. In addition, the Board conferred with the Funds' investment personnel at various times throughout the year.
Conclusion. After an evaluation of the above-described factors, and based on its deliberations and analysis of the information provided and alternatives considered, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the compensation payable to BoAA under the Advisory Agreement is fair and equitable. Accordingly, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously re-approved the Advisory Agreement.

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 BofA Fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any particular BofA Fund. References to specific securities should not be construed as a recommendation or investment advice.
Understanding Your Expenses BofA Government Plus Reserves
As a fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution (Rule 12b-1) and service 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 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 costs 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.
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 Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.bofacapital.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 888.331.0904. (Institutional Investors, please call 800.353.0828.)
g For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary 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.
The Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $1,000. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.

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 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.
(a) The expense ratio shown does not correspond with the relative expense structure of the share class for the period due to the timing of subscriptions and redemptions of shares,fluctuating yields of the portfolio as well as yield floor expense reimbursements made to the share class.

Notes to Financial Statements BofA Government Plus Reserves
February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
BofA Government Plus Reserves (the "Fund"), a series of BofA Funds Series Trust (the "Trust"), is a diversified fund. 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 Delaware statutory trust.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks current income, consistent with capital preservation and maintenance of a high degree of liquidity.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares and the Fund offers nine classes of shares: Adviser Class, Capital Class, Daily Class, Institutional Capital, Institutional Class, Investor Class, Investor II Class, Liquidity Class and Trust Class shares. Each class of shares is offered continuously at net asset value. After the close of business on September 30, 2011, G-Trust shares were renamed Institutional Capital shares. On October 1, 2011, Retail A shares were converted into Capital Class shares. On October 3, 2011, the Daily Class shares, Investor Class shares and Investor II Class shares commenced operations.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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.
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosures.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Securities in the Fund are valued utilizing the amortized cost valuation method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act subject to the conditions in such rule being met, including that the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") continues to believe that the amortized cost valuation method fairly reflects the market-based net asset value per share of the Fund. This method involves valuing a portfolio security initially at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant accretion or amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, respectively. The Board has established procedures reasonably designed, taking into account the current market conditions and the Fund's investment objective, to ensure compliance with Rule 2a-7's requirements. These procedures include, among other things, determinations, at such intervals as the Board deems appropriate and reasonable in light of current market conditions, of the extent, if any, to which the Fund's market based net asset value deviates from $1.00 per share.
GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 Prices determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
• Level 2 Prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others).
• Level 3 Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
21
BofA Government Plus Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Security Transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that BofA Advisors, LLC, the Fund's investment advisor (the "Advisor"), determines are creditworthy. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by the securities purchased by the Fund under the repurchase agreements, which may include securities that the Fund is not otherwise directly permitted to purchase, such as long-term government bonds. The Advisor is responsible for determining that such underlying securities are 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.
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
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.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
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" ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to 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 seeks to avoid federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The Fund generally intends to distribute any net realized capital gain (whether long-term or short-term gain) at least once a year. 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 may provide general indemnities. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and, in the case of the Trustees, 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. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Note 3. Federal Tax Information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carry forwards) under income tax regulations.
22
BofA Government Plus Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended August 31, 2013 was as follows:
Distributions paid from |
|||||||
Ordinary Income* |
$ |
114,910 |
* For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.
The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") requires that capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, the effective date of the Act (the "Effective Date"), be fully used before capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years prior to the Effective Date. Therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carry forwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after the Effective Date.
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 50 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 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates and Other Expenses
Investment Advisory Fee
The Advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("BAC"), provides investment advisory services to the Fund. The Advisor receives a monthly
investment advisory fee, calculated based on the combined average daily net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates:

As of January 1, 2013, the Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the combined investment advisory fee and administration fee for the Fund to an annual rate of 0.19% of the Fund's average net assets through December 31, 2014. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
Prior to January 1, 2013, the Advisor had contractually agreed to limit the combined investment advisory fee and administration fee for the Fund to an annual rate of 0.16% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund's effective investment advisory fee rate, net of fee waivers, was 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fee
The Advisor provides administrative and other services to the Fund for a monthly administration fee, calculated based on the combined average daily net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates, less the fees payable by the Fund as described under the Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees note below:

Additionally, the Advisor has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") to provide certain administrative services under a sub-administration
23
BofA Government Plus Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
agreement. The Advisor pays State Street a fee for all services received under this agreement.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund's effective administration fee rate, net of fee waivers but including payments made to State Street for pricing and bookkeeping fees, as outlined below, was 0.02% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
The Trust has entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. The Trust has also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") with State Street and the Advisor 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 plus an additional monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of 0.015% of average daily net assets of the Fund. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). In addition, the Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges including fees associated with pricing the securities held in the Investment Portfolio.
Transfer Agent Fee
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") serves as transfer agent for the Fund's shares. Under a transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholders' servicing agent agreement with the Trust, the Transfer Agent provides transfer agency, dividend disbursing agency and shareholder servicing agency services to the Fund.
The Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $1,000. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the principal underwriter of the Fund's shares.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan ("Distribution Plan") for the Daily Class, Investor Class, Investor II Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act permits the Fund to compensate and/or reimburse the Distributor for distribution services provided by it and related expenses incurred, including payments by the Distributor to eligible financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Funds and providing services to investors.
The Trust also has adopted a shareholder servicing plan ("Shareholder Servicing Plan") for the Adviser Class, Daily Class, Investor Class, Investor II Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Shareholder Servicing Plan permits the Fund to compensate eligible financial intermediaries for providing shareholder services. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to the Shareholder Servicing Plan is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.

* The Distributor has contractually agreed to waive Distribution Plan fees and/or Shareholder Servicing Plan fees through December 31, 2014 at an annual rate of 0.10% of the Fund's Liquidity Class shares average daily net assets, so that combined Distribution Plan and Shareholder Servicing Plan fees will not exceed 0.15%. This fee and expense arrangement may only be modified or amended with the approval of all parties to such arrangement, including the Fund (acting through its Board) and the Distributor.
** To the extent that the Liquidity Class shares of the Fund make payments and/or reimbursements pursuant to the Distribution Plan and/or the Shareholder Servicing Plan, the combined total of such
24
BofA Government Plus Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
payments and/or reimbursements may not exceed, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Liquidity Class shares.
Shareholder Administration Fees
The Trust has adopted shareholder administration plans ("Administration Plans") for the Institutional Class, Investor II Class and Trust Class shares of the Fund. Under the Administration Plans, the Fund may pay the Advisor, the Distributor and/or eligible financial intermediaries a fee for shareholder administration services that is in addition to the fees it pays to the Advisor for overseeing the administrative operations of such Fund. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to these plans is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.

Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements
The Advisor and/or some of the Fund's other service providers have contractually agreed to bear a portion of the Fund's expenses through December 31, 2014, so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding any distribution, shareholder servicing and/or shareholder administration fees, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any), do not exceed the annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
The Advisor and the Distributor are entitled to recover from the Fund certain fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed for a three-year period following the date of such waiver and/or reimbursement if such recovery does not cause the Fund's total operating expenses to exceed the expense commitment in effect at the time the expenses to be recovered were incurred.
At February 28, 2014, the amounts potentially recoverable pursuant to this arrangement are as follows:

The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary in order to maintain a minimum annualized net yield for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yield in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is fully utilized. These reimbursements are voluntary and may be modified or discontinued by the Distributor or the Advisor at any time.
Under the Distribution Plan for the Liquidity Class shares, the Trust is currently not reimbursing the Distributor for distribution expenses. Unreimbursed expenses incurred by the Distributor in a given year may not be recovered by the Distributor in subsequent years.
25
BofA Government Plus Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All Officers of the Trust are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of a portion of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer.
Trustees are compensated for their services to the Fund, as set forth on the Statement of Operations. There are balances reflected as "Trustees' deferred compensation plan" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities which relate to pending payments to retired trustees under legacy deferred compensation plans.
Note 5. Line of Credit
The Fund and the other series of the Trust participate in a $750 million uncommitted, unsecured line of credit provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.
Interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. An annual administration fee of $10,000 is also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund did not borrow under this arrangement.
Note 6. Capital Contribution
On November 29, 2010 an affiliate of the Advisor made a voluntary capital contribution to the Fund of $325,079.
Note 7. Shareholder Concentration
Certain funds, accounts, individuals or affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Fund's shares. Shares held in omnibus accounts may be beneficially held by one or more individuals or entities other than the owner of record.
Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 8. Significant Risks and Contingencies
The Fund's risks include, but are not limited to the following:
Securities Risk
The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due.
Redemption/Liquidity Risk
The Fund may be subject to redemption risk. The Fund may need to sell portfolio securities to meet shareholder redemption requests. In this scenario, the Fund may not be able to sell portfolio securities because such securities may be deemed illiquid. In such events, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate cash to pay redeeming shareholders. The Fund reserves the right to pay redemption proceeds with securities (a "redemption in kind'). The Fund may, in certain circumstances, suspend redemptions or the payment of redemption proceeds when permitted by applicable rules and regulations.
Legal Proceedings
The Advisor and the Distributor (collectively, the "BofA Group") remain subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") (the "NYAG Settlement") and a settlement order with the SEC (the "SEC Order") on matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires the Advisor and its affiliates to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the BofA Group providing services to the BofA Funds, the BofA Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of its Board and certain special consulting and compliance measures. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the BofA Group (or predecessor or affiliated entities) agreed, among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; and maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures.
26
Board Consideration and Re-Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)
Even though the following description of the Board's consideration of the investment advisory agreement covers multiple funds, for purposes of this shareholder report, the description is only relevant as to the Fund.
The Board of Trustees (the "Board") of BofA Funds Series Trust (the "Trust"), including a majority of the Trustees who have no direct or indirect interest in the Trust's investment advisory agreement and are not "interested persons" of the Trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") (the "Independent Trustees"), are required annually to review and re-approve the existing investment advisory agreement. Consistent with this requirement, the Board reviewed and re-approved, during the most recent six months covered by this report, the investment advisory agreement with BofA Advisors, LLC ("BoAA") and the Trust, on behalf of BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves, BofA Cash Reserves, BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves, BofA Government Plus Reserves, BofA Government Reserves, BofA Massachusetts Municipal Reserves, BofA Money Market Reserves, BofA Municipal Reserves, BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves, BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves and BofA Treasury Reserves. The Trust's investment advisory agreement with BoAA is referred to as the "Advisory Agreement." The funds identified above are each referred to individually as a "Fund" and collectively referred to as the "Funds."
More specifically, at a meeting held on December 8-10, 2013, the Board, including the Independent Trustees advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of BoAA and the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement. The Board also reviewed and considered a report prepared and provided by an independent fee consultant (the "Fee Consultant") appointed by the Independent Trustees. The Fee Consultant's role was to manage, and provide input regarding, the process by which the investment advisory fees payable by the Funds under the Advisory Agreement are negotiated. The Fee Consultant found that the Board had the relevant information necessary to evaluate the reasonableness of the proposed management fees for each Fund and that the fee negotiation process was, to the extent practicable, at arms' length and reasonable. A summary of the Fee Consultant's report is available at http://www.bofacapital.com.
In preparation for the December meeting, the Board met in October 2013 to review and discuss the materials described below. The Board also received performance and other reports at its quarterly meetings, and the Board's Contracts Review Committee met on multiple occasions prior to the October meeting to assist the Board in preparation for the Board's consideration of the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement. BoAA's responses to a detailed series of requests submitted by the Fee Consultant and the Independent Trustees' independent legal counsel on the Board's behalf also were presented to the Board. All of these submissions and reports were considered by the Board in the context of, among other things, the recent history of money market funds and the investments available to such funds, as well as possible changes in markets and the regulatory scheme in which such funds operate. The Board's review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to it and are not the result of any single controlling factor. The Board evaluated all information available to it on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and its determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreement by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from BoAA.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board received and considered various data and information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by BoAA under the Advisory Agreement. BoAA's most recent form registering it as an investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission was also made available to the Board. The Board reviewed and analyzed those materials, which included, among other things, information about the background and experience of senior management and investment personnel of BoAA.
In addition, the Board considered the investment and compliance programs of the Funds and BoAA, including reports of the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer as well as periodic reports from an Independent Compliance Consultant. In this connection, the Board considered information regarding BoAA's ongoing monitoring and risk management oversight activities, including BoAA's "stress testing" initiatives that were presented to the Board on a quarterly basis throughout the year.
27
The Board evaluated the ability of BoAA and certain of its affiliates, based on their resources, reputation and other attributes, to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. In this regard, the Board considered information regarding the nature of BoAA's compensation structure applicable to portfolio managers and other key investment personnel. In addition, the Board took into account the administrative services provided to the Funds by BoAA, including BoAA's oversight of third party service providers.
Based on the above factors, together with those referenced below, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to each of the Funds by BoAA.
Investment Advisory Fee Rates and Other Expenses. The Board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual investment advisory fee rates both separately and together with the administration fee rates payable by the Funds (the "Contractual Management Fee Rates"). In addition, the Board reviewed the proposed fee waiver/cap arrangements applicable to the Contractual Management Fee Rates and considered the Contractual Management Fee Rates after taking the proposed waivers/caps into account (the "Actual Management Fee Rates"). The Board also noted that the Fund's distributor, BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), had voluntarily undertaken to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.02% for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Board noted that BoAA had voluntarily undertaken to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yields in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is not sufficient to maintain the minimum annualized net yields described above. The Board noted that these undertakings, as well as other applicable voluntary waivers and expense caps for certain Funds, were voluntary and could be modified or discontinued by the Distributor and/or BoAA at any time.
The Board reviewed and considered statistical information regarding each Fund's total expense ratio and its various components, including contractual advisory fees, actual advisory fees, administration fees, actual non-management
fees, Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder servicing and administration fees, fee waivers/caps and/or expense reimbursements. The Board also reviewed comparisons of these fees to the expense information for the group of funds determined to be most similar to a given Fund (the "Peer Group") and to a broader universe of relevant funds (the "Universe"). Lipper Inc., an independent provider of investment company data, selected the funds in each Fund's Universe based on the subsets of the iMoneyNet category peers, which include mutual funds that are viewed by BoAA as direct competitor peers to the Funds in the institutional market and share similar distribution platforms, expense structures and investment objectives. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used to select the mutual funds in each Fund's Peer Group(s) and Universe. Additional comparisons and other data also were prepared by, or at the direction of, the Fee Consultant, which the Board considered during its deliberations.
The Board considered the Contractual and Actual Management Fee Rates and total expense ratio of each Fund on a Fund-by-Fund basis. In this regard, the Board received information comparing each Fund's total expense ratio, Contractual Management Fee Rate and Actual Management Fee Rate to its Peer Group and assigning a quintile ranking for each such category. For example, a Fund that ranked in the first quintile for total expense ratio had a lower expense ratio than at least 80% of the funds in its Peer Group. Where a Fund's total expense ratio, Contractual Management Fee Rate and/or Actual Management Fee Rate was above the median range of its Peer Group (meaning that it ranked in the fourth or fifth quintile), the Board noted other applicable factors described below. In this connection, with respect to BofA Government Plus Reserves, the Board noted that the Fund's total expense ratio was above the median range of its Peer Group.
The Board generally noted other applicable factors, including, among others, competitive investment performance, the quality of administrative and/or shareholder services, the Fund's total expense ratios for other classes, the Fund's expense cap and waiver arrangements and/or comparisons to subsets of funds and institutional account fees in considering the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement.
Fund Performance. The Board considered the investment performance results for each of the Funds over multiple
28
measurement periods. It also considered these results in comparison to the performance results of each Fund's Universe. In addition, the Board considered information regarding how BoAA and its affiliates analyze and manage potential risks to the Funds, including BoAA's credit review process and the nature of the Funds' investments.
In considering the investment performance of each Fund, the Board compared the net return investment performance of representative classes of each Fund to its Universe, which included funds with similar pricing structures and Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board received information showing that specific classes of certain Funds generally outperformed their peers in the more recent periods, while certain other classes underperformed their peers in the more recent periods. In particular, the Board noted that the net return investment performance of certain classes of BofA Government Plus Reserves was below the median range of such Fund's Universe (meaning that the Fund's performance ranked in the fourth or fifth quintile relative to its Universe) over certain recent periods.
Where net return investment performance of a class of a particular Fund was below the median range of the Fund's Universe, the Board, in considering the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement for such Fund, generally noted other applicable factors, including, among others, stronger relative net return performance of other classes or over other periods, the relatively tight dispersion of performance data within a particular Universe, the Fund's Actual Management Fee Rate, Contractual Management Fee Rate and/or total expense ratio, the Fund's expense cap and waiver arrangements, the composition and share classes used in the comparisons and BoAA's emphasis on liquidity and capital preservation, as well as its organizational strength and capacity and its history with the Funds.
Profitability. The Board received and considered a detailed profitability analysis of BoAA based on the Contractual Management Fee Rates and the Actual Management Fee Rates, as well as on other relationships between the Funds and BoAA affiliates. The analysis included complex-wide and per-Fund information and was derived from allocation methodologies estimating certain expenses of the Funds. The Board also reviewed information compiled by Lipper comparing profitability information for BoAA to other management companies for which information was publicly
available. After reviewing such materials in detail, the Board did not deem the profits and other ancillary benefits that BoAA and its affiliates received from providing these services to be unreasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Board received and considered information regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Funds, whether the Funds have appropriately benefited from any economies of scale and whether there is potential for realization of further economies of scale. The Board also considered information from management regarding potential sources of economies of scale and the impact of decreases in overall Fund assets and the current yield environment on BoAA's ability to realize and share economies of scale. The Board concluded that any potential economies of scale are shared fairly with Fund shareholders, most particularly through breakpoints, fee waiver arrangements and further investments by BoAA relating to services provided to the Funds.
Information About Services to Other BoAA Clients. The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services and fee rates offered by BoAA to its other clients, including institutional investors, unregistered and offshore funds and clients for which BoAA serves as a sub-advisor. In this regard, the Board concluded that, where the Contractual Management Fee Rates and Actual Management Fee Rates were appreciably above the range of the fee rates charged to other BoAA clients, based on information provided by BoAA, the additional services provided, costs and risks associated with sponsoring, managing and operating the Funds provided a justification for the higher fee rates charged to the Funds.
Other Benefits to BoAA. The Board received and considered information regarding potential "fall-out" or ancillary benefits that could be received by BoAA and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. Such benefits include, among others, benefits attributable to BoAA's relationship with the Funds (such as benefits realized by an affiliated broker) and benefits potentially derived from an increase in BoAA's business as a result of its relationship with the Funds (such as the ability to market to shareholders other financial products offered by BoAA and its affiliates).
The Board did not deem such benefits to be unreasonable.
29
Other Factors and Broader Review. As discussed above, the Board reviewed materials received from BoAA during the re-approval process under Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act. The Board also reviewed and assessed the quality of the services the Funds received from BoAA and its affiliates throughout the year, including in light of regulatory and market developments impacting money market funds. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of BoAA at each of the quarterly meetings and, as necessary, more frequently, which included, among other things, investment performance reports and reports comparing the Funds to certain competitors. In addition, the Board conferred with the Funds' investment personnel at various times throughout the year.
Conclusion. After an evaluation of the above-described factors, and based on its deliberations and analysis of the information provided and alternatives considered, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the compensation payable to BoAA under the Advisory Agreement is fair and equitable. Accordingly, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously re-approved the Advisory Agreement.

Understanding Your Expenses BofA Government Reserves
As a fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution (Rule 12b-1) and service 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 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 costs 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.
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:
n For shareholders who receive their account statements from Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.bofacapital.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 888.331.0904. (Institutional Investors, please call 800.353.0828.)
n For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary 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.
The Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $1,000. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.

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 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 Financial Statements BofA Government Reserves
February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
BofA Government Reserves (the "Fund"), a series of BofA Funds Series Trust (the "Trust"), is a diversified fund. 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 Delaware statutory trust.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks current income, consistent with capital preservation and maintenance of a high degree of liquidity.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and the Fund offers nine classes of shares: Adviser Class, Capital Class, Daily Class, Institutional Capital, Institutional Class, Investor Class, Investor II Class, Liquidity Class and Trust Class shares. Each class of shares is offered continuously at net asset value. After the close of business on September 30, 2011, Class A shares were renamed Investor II Class shares and G-Trust shares were renamed Institutional Capital shares. On October 1, 2011, Retail A shares were converted into Capital Class shares.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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.
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosures.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Securities in the Fund are valued utilizing the amortized cost valuation method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7
under the 1940 Act subject to the conditions in such rule being met, including that the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") continues to believe that the amortized cost valuation method fairly reflects the market-based net asset value per share of the Fund. This method involves valuing a portfolio security initially at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant accretion or amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, respectively. The Board has established procedures reasonably designed, taking into account the current market conditions and the Fund's investment objective, to ensure compliance with Rule 2a-7's requirements. These procedures include, among other things, determinations, at such intervals as the Board deems appropriate and reasonable in light of current market conditions, of the extent, if any, to which the Fund's market based net asset value deviates from $1.00 per share.
GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 Prices determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
• Level 2 Prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others).
• Level 3 Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
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.
20
BofA Government Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
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.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
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" ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to 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 seeks to avoid federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The Fund generally intends to distribute any net realized capital gain (whether long-term or short-term gain) at least once a year. 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 may provide general indemnities. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and, in the case of the Trustees, 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. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Note 3. Federal Tax Information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carry forwards) under income tax regulations.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended August 31, 2013 was as follows:
Distributions paid from |
|||||||
Ordinary Income* |
$ |
629,798 |
* For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.
The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") requires that capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, the effective date of the Act (the "Effective Date"), be fully used before capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years prior to the Effective Date. Therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carry forwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after the Effective Date.
21
BofA Government Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
As of August 31, 2013, the Fund had pre-Effective Date capital loss carry forwards which, if not used, will expire as follows:
Year of Expiration |
Capital Loss Carry Forwards |
||||||
2014 |
$ |
416,970 |
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 50 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 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates and Other Expenses
Investment Advisory Fee
BofA Advisors, LLC (the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("BAC"), provides investment advisory services to the Fund. The Advisor receives a monthly investment advisory fee, calculated based on the combined average daily net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates:

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the combined investment advisory fee and administration fee for the Fund to an annual rate of 0.19% of the Fund's average daily net assets through December 31, 2014. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund's effective investment advisory fee rate, net of fee waivers, was 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fee
The Advisor provides administrative and other services to the Fund for a monthly administration fee, calculated based on the combined average daily net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates, less the fees payable by the Fund as described under the Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees note below:

Additionally, the Advisor has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") to provide certain administrative services under a sub-administration agreement. The Advisor pays State Street a fee for all services received under this agreement.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund's effective administration fee rate, net of fee waivers but including payments made to State Street for pricing and bookkeeping fees, as outlined below, was 0.04% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
The Trust has entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. The Trust has also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides
22
BofA Government Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
accounting services to the Fund. Under the State Street Agreements, the Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly plus an additional monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of 0.015% of average daily net assets of the Fund. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). In addition, the Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges including fees associated with pricing the securities held in the Investment Portfolio.
Transfer Agent Fee
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") serves as transfer agent for the Fund's shares. Under a transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholders' servicing agent agreement with the Trust, the Transfer Agent provides transfer agency, dividend disbursing agency and shareholder servicing agency services to the Fund.
The Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $1,000. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the principal underwriter of the Fund's shares.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan ("Distribution Plan") for the Daily Class, Investor Class, Investor II Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act permits the Fund to compensate and/or reimburse the Distributor for distribution services provided by it and related expenses incurred, including payments by the Distributor to eligible financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Funds and providing services to investors.
The Trust also has adopted a shareholder servicing plan ("Shareholder Servicing Plan") for the Adviser Class, Daily Class, Investor Class, Investor II Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Shareholder Servicing Plan permits the Fund to compensate eligible financial intermediaries for providing shareholder services. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to the
Shareholder Servicing Plan is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.

The Advisor and/or some of the Fund's other service providers have contractually agreed to bear a portion of the Fund's expenses through December 31, 2014, so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding any
distribution, shareholder servicing and/or shareholder administration fees, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any), do not exceed the annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
The Advisor and the Distributor are entitled to recover from the Fund certain fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed for a three-year period following the date of such waiver and/or reimbursement if such recovery does not cause the Fund's total operating expenses to exceed the expense commitment in effect at the time the expenses to be recovered were incurred.
At February 28, 2014, the amounts potentially recoverable pursuant to this arrangement are as follows:

The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary in order to maintain a minimum annualized net yield for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yield in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is fully utilized. These reimbursements are voluntary and may be modified or discontinued by the Distributor or the Advisor at any time.
Under the Distribution Plan for the Liquidity Class shares, the Trust is currently not reimbursing the Distributor for distribution expenses. Unreimbursed expenses incurred by the Distributor in a given year may not be recovered by the Distributor in subsequent years.
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All Officers of the Trust are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund.
The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of a portion of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer.
Trustees are compensated for their services to the Fund, as set forth on the Statement of Operations. There are balances reflected as "Trustees' deferred compensation plan" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities which relate to pending payments to retired trustees under legacy deferred compensation plans.
Note 5. Line of Credit
The Fund and the other series of the Trust participate in a $750 million uncommitted, unsecured line of credit provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.
Interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. An annual administration fee of $10,000 is
24
BofA Government Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund did not borrow under this arrangement.
Note 6. Shareholder Concentration
Certain funds, accounts, individuals or affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Fund's shares. Shares held in omnibus accounts may be beneficially held by one or more individuals or entities other than the owner of record.
Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 7. Significant Risks and Contingencies
The Fund's risks include, but are not limited to the following:
Securities Risk
The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due.
Redemption/Liquidity Risk
The Fund may be subject to redemption risk. The Fund may need to sell portfolio securities to meet shareholder redemption requests. In this scenario, the Fund may not be able to sell portfolio securities because such securities may be deemed illiquid. In such events, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate cash to pay redeeming shareholders. The Fund reserves the right to pay redemption proceeds with securities (a "redemption in kind'). The Fund may, in certain circumstances, suspend redemptions or the payment of redemption proceeds when permitted by applicable rules and regulations.
Legal Proceedings
The Advisor and the Distributor (collectively, the "BofA Group") remain subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") (the "NYAG Settlement") and a settlement order with the SEC (the "SEC Order") on
matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires the Advisor and its affiliates to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the BofA Group providing services to the BofA Funds, the BofA Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of its Board and certain special consulting and compliance measures. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the BofA Group (or predecessor or affiliated entities) agreed, among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; and maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures.

Board Consideration and Re-Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)
Even though the following description of the Board's consideration of the investment advisory agreement covers multiple funds, for purposes of this shareholder report, the description is only relevant as to the Fund.
The Board of Trustees (the "Board") of BofA Funds Series Trust (the "Trust"), including a majority of the Trustees who have no direct or indirect interest in the Trust's investment advisory agreement and are not "interested persons" of the Trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") (the "Independent Trustees"), are required annually to review and re-approve the existing investment advisory agreement. Consistent with this requirement, the Board reviewed and re-approved, during the most recent six months covered by this report, the investment advisory agreement with BofA Advisors, LLC ("BoAA") and the Trust, on behalf of BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves, BofA Cash Reserves, BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves, BofA Government Plus Reserves, BofA Government Reserves, BofA Massachusetts Municipal Reserves, BofA Money Market Reserves, BofA Municipal Reserves, BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves, BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves and BofA Treasury Reserves. The Trust's investment advisory agreement with BoAA is referred to as the "Advisory Agreement." The funds identified above are each referred to individually as a "Fund" and collectively referred to as the "Funds."
More specifically, at a meeting held on December 8-10, 2013, the Board, including the Independent Trustees advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of BoAA and the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement. The Board also reviewed and considered a report prepared and provided by an independent fee consultant (the "Fee Consultant") appointed by the Independent Trustees. The Fee Consultant's role was to manage, and provide input regarding, the process by which the investment advisory fees payable by the Funds under the Advisory Agreement are negotiated. The Fee Consultant found that the Board had the relevant information necessary to evaluate the reasonableness of the proposed management fees for each Fund and that the fee negotiation process was, to the extent practicable, at arms' length and reasonable. A summary of the Fee Consultant's report is available at http://www.bofacapital.com.
In preparation for the December meeting, the Board met in October 2013 to review and discuss the materials described below. The Board also received performance and other reports at its quarterly meetings, and the Board's Contracts Review Committee met on multiple occasions prior to the October meeting to assist the Board in preparation for the Board's consideration of the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement. BoAA's responses to a detailed series of requests submitted by the Fee Consultant and the Independent Trustees' independent legal counsel on the Board's behalf also were presented to the Board. All of these submissions and reports were considered by the Board in the context of, among other things, the recent history of money market funds and the investments available to such funds, as well as possible changes in markets and the regulatory scheme in which such funds operate. The Board's review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to it and are not the result of any single controlling factor. The Board evaluated all information available to it on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and its determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreement by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from BoAA.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board received and considered various data and information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by BoAA under the Advisory Agreement. BoAA's most recent form registering it as an investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission was also made available to the Board. The Board reviewed and analyzed those materials, which included, among other things, information about the background and experience of senior management and investment personnel of BoAA.
In addition, the Board considered the investment and compliance programs of the Funds and BoAA, including reports of the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer as well as periodic reports from an Independent Compliance Consultant. In this connection, the Board considered information regarding BoAA's ongoing monitoring and risk management oversight activities, including BoAA's "stress testing" initiatives that were presented to the Board on a quarterly basis throughout the year.
26
The Board evaluated the ability of BoAA and certain of its affiliates, based on their resources, reputation and other attributes, to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. In this regard, the Board considered information regarding the nature of BoAA's compensation structure applicable to portfolio managers and other key investment personnel. In addition, the Board took into account the administrative services provided to the Funds by BoAA, including BoAA's oversight of third party service providers.
Based on the above factors, together with those referenced below, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to each of the Funds by BoAA.
Investment Advisory Fee Rates and Other Expenses. The Board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual investment advisory fee rates both separately and together with the administration fee rates payable by the Funds (the "Contractual Management Fee Rates"). In addition, the Board reviewed the proposed fee waiver/cap arrangements applicable to the Contractual Management Fee Rates and considered the Contractual Management Fee Rates after taking the proposed waivers/caps into account (the "Actual Management Fee Rates"). The Board also noted that the Fund's distributor, BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), had voluntarily undertaken to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.01% for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Board noted that BoAA had voluntarily undertaken to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yields in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is not sufficient to maintain the minimum annualized net yields described above. The Board noted that these undertakings, as well as other applicable voluntary waivers and expense caps for certain Funds, were voluntary and could be modified or discontinued by the Distributor and/or BoAA at any time.
The Board reviewed and considered statistical information regarding each Fund's total expense ratio and its various components, including contractual advisory fees, actual advisory fees, administration fees, actual non-management
fees, Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder servicing and administration fees, fee waivers/caps and/or expense reimbursements. The Board also reviewed comparisons of these fees to the expense information for the group of funds determined to be most similar to a given Fund (the "Peer Group") and to a broader universe of relevant funds (the "Universe"). Lipper Inc., an independent provider of investment company data, selected the funds in each Fund's Universe based on the subsets of the iMoneyNet category peers, which include mutual funds that are viewed by BoAA as direct competitor peers to the Funds in the institutional market and share similar distribution platforms, expense structures and investment objectives. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used to select the mutual funds in each Fund's Peer Group(s) and Universe. Additional comparisons and other data also were prepared by, or at the direction of, the Fee Consultant, which the Board considered during its deliberations.
The Board considered the Contractual and Actual Management Fee Rates and total expense ratio of each Fund on a Fund-by-Fund basis. In this regard, the Board received information comparing each Fund's total expense ratio, Contractual Management Fee Rate and Actual Management Fee Rate to its Peer Group and assigning a quintile ranking for each such category. For example, a Fund that ranked in the first quintile for total expense ratio had a lower expense ratio than at least 80% of the funds in its Peer Group. Where a Fund's total expense ratio, Contractual Management Fee Rate and/or Actual Management Fee Rate was above the median range of its Peer Group (meaning that it ranked in the fourth or fifth quintile), the Board noted other applicable factors described below. In this connection, with respect to BofA Government Reserves, the Board noted that the Fund's Contractual Management Fee Rate and Actual Management Fee Rate were each above the median range of its Peer Group.
The Board generally noted other applicable factors, including, among others, competitive investment performance, the quality of administrative and/or shareholder services, the Fund's total expense ratios for other classes, the Fund's expense cap and waiver arrangements and/or comparisons to subsets of funds and institutional account fees in considering the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement.
Fund Performance. The Board considered the investment performance results for each of the Funds over multiple
27
measurement periods. It also considered these results in comparison to the performance results of each Fund's Universe. In addition, the Board considered information regarding how BoAA and its affiliates analyze and manage potential risks to the Funds, including BoAA's credit review process and the nature of the Funds' investments.
In considering the investment performance of each Fund, the Board compared the net return investment performance of representative classes of each Fund to its Universe, which included funds with similar pricing structures and Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board received information showing that specific classes of certain Funds generally outperformed their peers in the more recent periods, while certain other classes underperformed their peers in the more recent periods. In particular, the Board noted that the net return investment performance of certain classes of BofA Government Reserves was below the median range of such Fund's Universe (meaning that the Fund's performance ranked in the fourth or fifth quintile relative to its Universe) over certain recent periods.
Where net return investment performance of a class of a particular Fund was below the median range of the Fund's Universe, the Board, in considering the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement for such Fund, generally noted other applicable factors, including, among others, stronger relative net return performance of other classes or over other periods, the relatively tight dispersion of performance data within a particular Universe, the Fund's Actual Management Fee Rate, Contractual Management Fee Rate and/or total expense ratio, the Fund's expense cap and waiver arrangements, the composition and share classes used in the comparisons and BoAA's emphasis on liquidity and capital preservation, as well as its organizational strength and capacity and its history with the Funds.
Profitability. The Board received and considered a detailed profitability analysis of BoAA based on the Contractual Management Fee Rates and the Actual Management Fee Rates, as well as on other relationships between the Funds and BoAA affiliates. The analysis included complex-wide and per-Fund information and was derived from allocation methodologies estimating certain expenses of the Funds. The Board also reviewed information compiled by Lipper comparing profitability information for BoAA to other management companies for which information was publicly available. After reviewing such materials in detail, the Board
did not deem the profits and other ancillary benefits that BoAA and its affiliates received from providing these services to be unreasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Board received and considered information regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Funds, whether the Funds have appropriately benefited from any economies of scale and whether there is potential for realization of further economies of scale. The Board also considered information from management regarding potential sources of economies of scale and the impact of decreases in overall Fund assets and the current yield environment on BoAA's ability to realize and share economies of scale. The Board concluded that any potential economies of scale are shared fairly with Fund shareholders, most particularly through breakpoints, fee waiver arrangements and further investments by BoAA relating to services provided to the Funds.
Information About Services to Other BoAA Clients. The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services and fee rates offered by BoAA to its other clients, including institutional investors, unregistered and offshore funds and clients for which BoAA serves as a sub-advisor. In this regard, the Board concluded that, where the Contractual Management Fee Rates and Actual Management Fee Rates were appreciably above the range of the fee rates charged to other BoAA clients, based on information provided by BoAA, the additional services provided, costs and risks associated with sponsoring, managing and operating the Funds provided a justification for the higher fee rates charged to the Funds.
Other Benefits to BoAA. The Board received and considered information regarding potential "fall-out" or ancillary benefits that could be received by BoAA and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. Such benefits include, among others, benefits attributable to BoAA's relationship with the Funds (such as benefits realized by an affiliated broker) and benefits potentially derived from an increase in BoAA's business as a result of its relationship with the Funds (such as the ability to market to shareholders other financial products offered by BoAA and its affiliates).
The Board did not deem such benefits to be unreasonable.
28
Other Factors and Broader Review. As discussed above, the Board reviewed materials received from BoAA during the re-approval process under Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act. The Board also reviewed and assessed the quality of the services the Funds received from BoAA and its affiliates throughout the year, including in light of regulatory and market developments impacting money market funds. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of BoAA at each of the quarterly meetings and, as necessary, more frequently, which included, among other things, investment performance reports and reports comparing the Funds to certain competitors. In addition, the Board conferred with the Funds' investment personnel at various times throughout the year.
Conclusion. After an evaluation of the above-described factors, and based on its deliberations and analysis of the information provided and alternatives considered, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the compensation payable to BoAA under the Advisory Agreement is fair and equitable. Accordingly, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously re-approved the Advisory Agreement.

Understanding Your Expenses BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves
As a fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution (Rule 12b-1) and service 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 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 costs 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.
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:
n For shareholders who receive their account statements from Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.bofacapital.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 888.331.0904. (Institutional Investors, please call 800.353.0828.)
n For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary 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.
The Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $1,000. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.

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 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.

(a) On October 1, 2011, Retail A shares and G-Trust shares were converted into Capital Class shares when Capital Class shares were first offered. The financial information of Capital Class shares prior to this conversion is that of G-Trust shares, which reflects substantially the same expenses as those of Capital Class shares. If the historic financial information of Retail A shares was used instead of that of G-Trust shares, the total return for each period prior to the conversion would be lower due to the higher expenses applicable to Retail A shares.

Notes to Financial Statements BofA Money Market Funds
February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
BofA Funds Series Trust (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 Delaware statutory trust. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves and BofA Massachusetts Municipal Reserves (each, a "Fund" and together, the "Funds"), each a series of the Trust. Each Fund is a non-diversified fund.
Investment Objectives
BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves seeks current income exempt from federal income tax and Connecticut individual, trust and estate income tax, consistent with capital preservation and maintenance of a high degree of liquidity. BofA Massachusetts Municipal Reserves seeks current income exempt from federal income tax and Massachusetts individual income tax, consistent with capital preservation and maintenance of a high degree of liquidity.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and each Fund offers three classes of shares: Capital Class, Investor Class and Trust Class shares. Each class of shares is offered continuously at net asset value. On October 1, 2011, for each Fund, the Capital Class shares commenced operations and the G-Trust and Retail A shares converted into each Fund's Capital Class shares. On October 3, 2011, each Fund's Investor Class shares commenced operations. On July 18, 2012, each Fund's Trust Class shares commenced operations.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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.
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosures.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.
Security Valuation
Securities in the Funds are valued utilizing the amortized cost valuation method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act subject to the conditions in such rule being met, including that the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") continues to believe that the amortized cost valuation method fairly reflects the market-based net asset value per share of the Funds. This method involves valuing a portfolio security initially at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant accretion or amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, respectively. The Board has established procedures reasonably designed, taking into account the current market conditions and each Fund's investment objective, to ensure compliance with Rule 2a-7's requirements. These procedures include, among other things, determinations, at such intervals as the Board deems appropriate and reasonable in light of current market conditions, of the extent, if any, to which each Fund's market based net asset value deviates from $1.00 per share.
GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 Prices determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
• Level 2 Prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others).
• Level 3 Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment.
20
BofA Money Market Funds, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
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. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Funds 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 a Fund are charged to such Fund.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
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 a Fund on a daily basis for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class. Income and expenses are allocated to each class based on the settled shares method, while realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Tax Status
Each Fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to 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, 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 seeks to avoid federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The Funds generally intend to distribute any net realized capital gain (whether long-term or short-term gain) at least once a year. 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 Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which may provide general indemnities. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and, in the case of the Trustees, 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. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Funds, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Note 3. Federal Tax Information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to a Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carry forwards) under income tax regulations.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended August 31, 2013 was as follows:

* For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.
21
BofA Money Market Funds, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") requires that capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, the effective date of the Act (the "Effective Date"), be fully used before capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years prior to the Effective Date. Therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carry forwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after the Effective Date.
Management is required to determine whether a tax position of the Funds 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 each Fund is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 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 Funds' federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates and Other Expenses
Investment Advisory Fee
BofA Advisors, LLC (the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("BAC"), provides investment advisory services to the Funds. The Advisor receives a monthly investment advisory fee, calculated based on the combined average daily net assets of the Funds and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates:
Average Daily Net Assets |

|||||
$175 billion to $225 billion |
0.13 |

|||||
Over $225 billion |
0.08 |
% |
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the combined investment advisory fee and administration fee for the Funds to an annual rate of 0.19% of each Fund's average daily net assets through December 31, 2014. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the effective investment advisory fee rates, net of fee waivers, were 0.15% of each Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fee
The Advisor provides administrative and other services to the Funds for a monthly administration fee, calculated based on the combined average daily net assets of the Funds and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates, less the fees payable by the Funds as described under the Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees note below:

Additionally, the Advisor has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") to provide certain administrative services under a sub-administration agreement. The Advisor pays State Street a fee for all services received under this agreement.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the effective administration fee rates, net of fee waivers but including payments made to State Street for pricing and bookkeeping fees, as outlined below, was 0.04% of each Fund's average daily net assets.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
The Trust has entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Funds. The Trust has also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides accounting services to the Funds. Under the
22
BofA Money Market Funds, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
State Street Agreements, each Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly plus an additional monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of 0.015% of average daily net assets of each Fund. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). In addition, the Funds also reimburse State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges including fees associated with pricing the securities held in each Investment Portfolio.
Transfer Agent Fee
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") serves as transfer agent for the Funds' shares. Under a transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholders' servicing agreement with the Trust, the Transfer Agent provides transfer agency, dividend disbursing agency and shareholder servicing agency services to the Funds.
The Funds may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $1,000. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the principal underwriter of the Funds' shares.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan ("Distribution Plan") for the Investor Class shares of the Funds. The Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act permits the Funds to compensate and/or reimburse the Distributor for distribution services provided by it and related expenses incurred, including payments by the Distributor to eligible financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Funds and providing services to investors.

Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements
The Advisor and/or some of the Funds' other service providers have contractually agreed to bear a portion of the Funds' expenses through December 31, 2014, so that the Funds' ordinary operating expenses (excluding any distribution, shareholder servicing and/or shareholder administration fees, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any), do not exceed the annual rate of 0.20% of
each Fund's average daily net assets. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
The Advisor and the Distributor are entitled to recover from the Funds certain fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed for a three-year period following the date of such waiver and/or reimbursement if such recovery does not cause the Funds' total operating expenses to exceed the expense commitment in effect at the time the expenses to be recovered were incurred.
At February 28, 2014, the amounts potentially recoverable pursuant to this arrangement are as follows:

The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary in order to maintain a minimum annualized net yield for all classes of each Fund. In addition, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yield in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is fully utilized. These reimbursements are voluntary and may be modified or discontinued by the Distributor or the Advisor at any time.
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All Officers of the Trust are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Funds. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Funds, along with other affiliated funds, pay their pro-rata share of a portion of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer.
Trustees are compensated for their services to the Funds, as set forth on the Statement of Operations. There are balances reflected as "Trustees' deferred compensation plan" on the
Statements of Assets and Liabilities which relate to pending payments to retired trustees under legacy deferred compensation plans.
Note 5. Line of Credit
The Funds and the other series of the Trust participate in a $750 million uncommitted, unsecured line of credit provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.
Interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. An annual administration fee of $10,000 is also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Funds did not borrow under this arrangement.
Note 6. Shareholder Concentration
Certain funds, accounts, individuals or affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Fund's shares. Shares held in omnibus accounts may be beneficially held by one or more individuals or entities other than the owner of record.
24
BofA Money Market Funds, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Funds.
Note 7. Significant Risks and Contingencies
The Fund's risks include, but are not limited to the following:
Securities Risk
The Funds are subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Funds could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due.
Non-Diversification Risk
The Funds are non-diversified, which generally means that they may invest a greater percentage of their total assets in the securities of fewer issuers than a "diversified" fund. This increases the risk that a change in the value of any one investment held by a Fund could affect the overall value of the Fund more than it would affect that of a diversified fund holding a greater number of investments. Accordingly, the Funds' value will likely be more volatile than the value of more diversified funds. The Funds may not operate as non-diversified funds at all times.
Redemption/Liquidity Risk
The Funds may be subject to redemption risk. The Funds may need to sell portfolio securities to meet shareholder redemption requests. In this scenario, the Funds may not be able to sell portfolio securities because such securities may be deemed illiquid. In such events, the Funds could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate cash to pay redeeming shareholders. The Fund reserves the right to pay redemption proceeds with securities (a "redemption in kind'). The Fund may, in certain circumstances, suspend redemptions or the payment of redemption proceeds when permitted by applicable rules and regulations.
Geographic Concentration Risk
BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves and BofA Massachusetts Municipal Reserves invest primarily in debt obligations issued, respectively, by the State of Connecticut and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and their political subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities and authorities, and
other qualified issuers that may be located outside of Connecticut and Massachusetts, respectively. The Funds are more susceptible to economic and political factors adversely affecting issuers of each respective state's municipal securities than are municipal bond funds that are not concentrated to the same extent in these issuers.
Legal Proceedings
The Advisor and the Distributor (collectively, the "BofA Group") remain subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") (the "NYAG Settlement") and a settlement order with the SEC (the "SEC Order") on matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires the Advisor and its affiliates to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the BofA Group providing services to the BofA Funds, the BofA Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of its Board and certain special consulting and compliance measures. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the BofA Group (or predecessor or affiliated entities) agreed, among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; and maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures.

Board Consideration and Re-Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)
Even though the following description of the Board's consideration of the investment advisory agreement covers multiple funds, for purposes of this shareholder report, the description is only relevant as to the Fund.
The Board of Trustees (the "Board") of BofA Funds Series Trust (the "Trust"), including a majority of the Trustees who have no direct or indirect interest in the Trust's investment advisory agreement and are not "interested persons" of the Trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") (the "Independent Trustees"), are required annually to review and re-approve the existing investment advisory agreement. Consistent with this requirement, the Board reviewed and re-approved, during the most recent six months covered by this report, the investment advisory agreement with BofA Advisors, LLC ("BoAA") and the Trust, on behalf of BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves, BofA Cash Reserves, BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves, BofA Government Plus Reserves, BofA Government Reserves, BofA Massachusetts Municipal Reserves, BofA Money Market Reserves, BofA Municipal Reserves, BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves, BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves and BofA Treasury Reserves. The Trust's investment advisory agreement with BoAA is referred to as the "Advisory Agreement." The funds identified above are each referred to individually as a "Fund" and collectively referred to as the "Funds."
More specifically, at a meeting held on December 8-10, 2013, the Board, including the Independent Trustees advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of BoAA and the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement. The Board also reviewed and considered a report prepared and provided by an independent fee consultant (the "Fee Consultant") appointed by the Independent Trustees. The Fee Consultant's role was to manage, and provide input regarding, the process by which the investment advisory fees payable by the Funds under the Advisory Agreement are negotiated. The Fee Consultant found that the Board had the relevant information necessary to evaluate the reasonableness of the proposed management fees for each Fund and that the fee negotiation process was, to the extent practicable, at arms' length and reasonable. A summary of the Fee Consultant's report is available at http://www.bofacapital.com.
In preparation for the December meeting, the Board met in October 2013 to review and discuss the materials described below. The Board also received performance and other reports at its quarterly meetings, and the Board's Contracts Review Committee met on multiple occasions prior to the October meeting to assist the Board in preparation for the Board's consideration of the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement. BoAA's responses to a detailed series of requests submitted by the Fee Consultant and the Independent Trustees' independent legal counsel on the Board's behalf also were presented to the Board. All of these submissions and reports were considered by the Board in the context of, among other things, the recent history of money market funds and the investments available to such funds, as well as possible changes in markets and the regulatory scheme in which such funds operate. The Board's review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to it and are not the result of any single controlling factor. The Board evaluated all information available to it on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and its determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreement by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from BoAA.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board received and considered various data and information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by BoAA under the Advisory Agreement. BoAA's most recent form registering it as an investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission was also made available to the Board. The Board reviewed and analyzed those materials, which included, among other things, information about the background and experience of senior management and investment personnel of BoAA.
In addition, the Board considered the investment and compliance programs of the Funds and BoAA, including reports of the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer as well as periodic reports from an Independent Compliance Consultant. In this connection, the Board considered information regarding BoAA's ongoing monitoring and risk management oversight activities, including BoAA's "stress testing" initiatives that were presented to the Board on a quarterly basis throughout the year.
26
The Board evaluated the ability of BoAA and certain of its affiliates, based on their resources, reputation and other attributes, to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. In this regard, the Board considered information regarding the nature of BoAA's compensation structure applicable to portfolio managers and other key investment personnel. In addition, the Board took into account the administrative services provided to the Funds by BoAA, including BoAA's oversight of third party service providers.
Based on the above factors, together with those referenced below, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to each of the Funds by BoAA.
Investment Advisory Fee Rates and Other Expenses. The Board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual investment advisory fee rates both separately and together with the administration fee rates payable by the Funds (the "Contractual Management Fee Rates"). In addition, the Board reviewed the proposed fee waiver/cap arrangements applicable to the Contractual Management Fee Rates and considered the Contractual Management Fee Rates after taking the proposed waivers/caps into account (the "Actual Management Fee Rates"). The Board also noted that the Funds' distributor, BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), had voluntarily undertaken to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.00% for all classes of the Funds. In addition, the Board noted that BoAA had voluntarily undertaken to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yields in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is not sufficient to maintain the minimum annualized net yields described above. The Board noted that these undertakings, as well as other applicable voluntary waivers and expense caps for certain Funds, were voluntary and could be modified or discontinued by the Distributor and/or BoAA at any time.
The Board reviewed and considered statistical information regarding each Fund's total expense ratio and its various components, including contractual advisory fees, actual advisory fees, administration fees, actual non-management
fees, Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder servicing and administration fees, fee waivers/caps and/or expense reimbursements. The Board also reviewed comparisons of these fees to the expense information for the group of funds determined to be most similar to a given Fund (the "Peer Group") and to a broader universe of relevant funds (the "Universe"). Lipper Inc., an independent provider of investment company data, selected the funds in each Fund's Universe based on the subsets of the iMoneyNet category peers, which include mutual funds that are viewed by BoAA as direct competitor peers to the Funds in the institutional market and share similar distribution platforms, expense structures and investment objectives. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used to select the mutual funds in each Fund's Peer Group(s) and Universe. Additional comparisons and other data also were prepared by, or at the direction of, the Fee Consultant, which the Board considered during its deliberations.
The Board considered the Contractual and Actual Management Fee Rates and total expense ratio of each Fund on a Fund-by-Fund basis. In this regard, the Board received information comparing each Fund's total expense ratio, Contractual Management Fee Rate and Actual Management Fee Rate to its Peer Group and assigning a quintile ranking for each such category. For example, a Fund that ranked in the first quintile for total expense ratio had a lower expense ratio than at least 80% of the funds in its Peer Group. The Board noted that BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves' and BofA Massachusetts Municipal Reserves' total expense ratio, Actual Management Fee Rate and Contractual Management Fee Rate were each at or below the median ranges of their respective Peer Groups.
Fund Performance. The Board considered the investment performance results for each of the Funds over multiple measurement periods. It also considered these results in comparison to the performance results of each Fund's Universe. In particular, in considering the investment performance of each Fund, the Board compared the net return investment performance of representative classes of each Fund to its Universe, which included funds with similar pricing structures and Rule 12b-1 fees. In addition, the Board considered information regarding how BoAA and its affiliates analyze and manage potential risks to the Funds, including BoAA's credit review process and the nature of the Funds' investments.
27
Profitability. The Board received and considered a detailed profitability analysis of BoAA based on the Contractual Management Fee Rates and the Actual Management Fee Rates, as well as on other relationships between the Funds and BoAA affiliates. The analysis included complex-wide and per-Fund information and was derived from allocation methodologies estimating certain expenses of the Funds. The Board also reviewed information compiled by Lipper comparing profitability information for BoAA to other management companies for which information was publicly available. After reviewing such materials in detail, the Board did not deem the profits and other ancillary benefits that BoAA and its affiliates received from providing these services to be unreasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Board received and considered information regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Funds, whether the Funds have appropriately benefited from any economies of scale and whether there is potential for realization of further economies of scale. The Board also considered information from management regarding potential sources of economies of scale and the impact of decreases in overall Fund assets and the current yield environment on BoAA's ability to realize and share economies of scale. The Board concluded that any potential economies of scale are shared fairly with Fund shareholders, most particularly through breakpoints, fee waiver arrangements and further investments by BoAA relating to services provided to the Funds.
Information About Services to Other BoAA Clients. The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services and fee rates offered by BoAA to its other clients, including institutional investors, unregistered and offshore funds and clients for which BoAA serves as a sub-advisor. In this regard, the Board concluded that, where the Contractual Management Fee Rates and Actual Management Fee Rates were appreciably above the range of the fee rates charged to other BoAA clients, based on information provided by BoAA, the additional services provided, costs and risks associated with sponsoring, managing and operating the Funds provided a justification for the higher fee rates charged to the Funds.
Other Benefits to BoAA. The Board received and considered information regarding potential "fall-out" or ancillary benefits that could be received by BoAA and its
affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. Such benefits include, among others, benefits attributable to BoAA's relationship with the Funds (such as benefits realized by an affiliated broker) and benefits potentially derived from an increase in BoAA's business as a result of its relationship with the Funds (such as the ability to market to shareholders other financial products offered by BoAA and its affiliates).
The Board did not deem such benefits to be unreasonable.
Other Factors and Broader Review. As discussed above, the Board reviewed materials received from BoAA during the re-approval process under Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act. The Board also reviewed and assessed the quality of the services the Funds received from BoAA and its affiliates throughout the year, including in light of regulatory and market developments impacting money market funds. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of BoAA at each of the quarterly meetings and, as necessary, more frequently, which included, among other things, investment performance reports and reports comparing the Funds to certain competitors. In addition, the Board conferred with the Funds' investment personnel at various times throughout the year.
Conclusion. After an evaluation of the above-described factors, and based on its deliberations and analysis of the information provided and alternatives considered, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the compensation payable to BoAA under the Advisory Agreement is fair and equitable. Accordingly, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously re-approved the Advisory Agreement.

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 BofA Fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any particular BofA Fund. References to specific securities should not be construed as a recommendation or investment advice.
Understanding Your Expenses BofA Money Market Reserves
As a fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution (Rule 12b-1) and service 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 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 costs 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.
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:
n For shareholders who receive their account statements from Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.bofacapital.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 888.331.0904. (Institutional Investors, please call 800.353.0828.)
n For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary 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.
The Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $1,000. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.

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 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 Financial Statements BofA Money Market Reserves
February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
BofA Money Market Reserves (the "Fund"), a series of BofA Funds Series Trust (the "Trust"), is a diversified fund. 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 Delaware statutory trust.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks current income, consistent with capital preservation and maintenance of a high degree of liquidity.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and the Fund offers six classes of shares: Adviser Class, Capital Class, Institutional Capital, Institutional Class, Liquidity Class and Trust Class shares. Each class of shares is offered continuously at net asset value. After the close of business on September 30, 2011, G-Trust shares were renamed Institutional Capital shares. On October 1, 2011, Retail A shares were converted into Capital Class shares.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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.
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosures.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Securities in the Fund are valued utilizing the amortized cost valuation method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7
under the 1940 Act subject to the conditions in such rule being met, including that the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") continues to believe that the amortized cost valuation method fairly reflects the market-based net asset value per share of the Fund. This method involves valuing a portfolio security initially at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant accretion or amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, respectively. The Board has established procedures reasonably designed, taking into account the current market conditions and the Fund's investment objective, to ensure compliance with Rule 2a-7's requirements. These procedures include, among other things, determinations, at such intervals as the Board deems appropriate and reasonable in light of current market conditions, of the extent, if any, to which the Fund's market based net asset value deviates from $1.00 per share.
GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 Prices determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
• Level 2 Prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others).
• Level 3 Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Security Transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the
23
BofA Money Market Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that BofA Advisors, LLC, the Fund's investment advisor (the "Advisor"), determines are creditworthy. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by the securities purchased by the Fund under the repurchase agreements, which may include securities that the Fund is not otherwise directly permitted to purchase, such as long-term government bonds, investment-grade corporate bonds and equity securities. The Advisor is responsible for determining that such underlying securities are 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.
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
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.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
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" ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to 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 seeks to avoid federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The Fund generally intends to distribute any net realized capital gain (whether long-term or short-term gain) at least once a year. 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 may provide general indemnities. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and, in the case of the Trustees, 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. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Note 3. Capital Support
On September 8, 2009, an affiliate of the Advisor purchased certain securities owned by the Fund.
Note 4. Federal Tax Information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carry forwards) under income tax regulations.
24
BofA Money Market Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended August 31, 2013 was as follows:
Distributions paid from |
|||||||
Ordinary Income* |
$ |
8,887,057 |
|||||
Long-Term Capital Gains |
17,508 |
* For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.
The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") requires that capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, the effective date of the Act (the "Effective Date"), be fully used before capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years prior to the Effective Date. Therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carry forwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after the Effective Date.
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 50 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 5. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates and Other Expenses
Investment Advisory Fee
The Advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("BAC"), provides investment advisory services to the Fund. The Advisor receives a monthly
investment advisory fee, calculated based on the combined average daily net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates:

First $175 billion |

% |
|||||
$175 billion to $225 billion |
0.13 |
% |
|||||
Over $225 billion |
0.08 |
% |
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the combined investment advisory fee and administration fee for the Fund to an annual rate of 0.19% of the Fund's average daily net assets through December 31, 2014. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date. In addition, the Advisor, at its discretion, has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its Advisory fee. This waiver may be modified or discontinued by the Advisor at any time.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund's effective investment advisory fee rate, net of fee waivers, was 0.11% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fee
The Advisor provides administrative and other services to the Fund for a monthly administration fee, calculated based on the combined average daily net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates, less the fees payable by the Fund as described under the Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees note below:

Additionally, the Advisor has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") to provide certain administrative services under a sub-administration agreement. The Advisor pays State Street a fee for all services received under this agreement.
25
BofA Money Market Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund's effective administration fee rate, net of fee waivers but including payments made to State Street for pricing and bookkeeping fees, as outlined below, was 0.04% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
The Trust has entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. The Trust has also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") with State Street and the Advisor 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 plus an additional monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of 0.015% of average daily net assets of the Fund. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). In addition, the Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges including fees associated with pricing the securities held in the Investment Portfolio.
Effective February 1, 2013, the Accounting Services Agreement was amended to reflect Shadow Pricing Services pursuant to which State Street provides a daily shadow net asset value calculation for the Fund. Under the agreement, the Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $20,000 paid monthly.
Transfer Agent Fee
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") serves as transfer agent for the Fund's shares. Under a transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholders' servicing agent agreement with the Trust, the Transfer Agent provides transfer agency, dividend disbursing agency and shareholder servicing agency services to the Fund.
The Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $1,000. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the principal underwriter of the Fund's shares.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan ("Distribution Plan") for the Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act permits the Fund to compensate and/or reimburse the Distributor for distribution services provided by it and related expenses incurred, including payments by the Distributor to eligible financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Funds and providing services to investors.
The Trust also has adopted a shareholder servicing plan ("Shareholder Servicing Plan") for the Adviser Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Shareholder Servicing Plan permits the Fund to compensate eligible financial intermediaries for providing shareholder services. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to the Shareholder Servicing Plan is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.

Shareholder Administration Fees
The Trust has adopted shareholder administration plans ("Administration Plans") for the Institutional Class and Trust Class shares of the Fund. Under the Administration Plans, the Fund may pay the Advisor, the Distributor and/or eligible financial intermediaries a fee for shareholder administration services that is in addition to the fees it pays to the Advisor for overseeing the administrative operations of such Fund. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to these plans is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.
The annual rates in effect and plan limits, as a percentage of average daily net assets are as follows:

Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements
The Advisor and/or some of the Fund's other service providers have contractually agreed to bear a portion of the Fund's expenses through December 31, 2014, so that the
Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding any distribution, shareholder servicing and/or shareholder administration fees, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any), do not exceed the annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date. In addition, the Advisor, at its discretion, has voluntarily agreed to bear an additional portion of the Fund's expenses. This voluntary expense limitation may be modified or discontinued by the Advisor at any time.
The Advisor and the Distributor are entitled to recover from the Fund certain fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed for a three-year period following the date of such waiver and/or reimbursement if such recovery does not cause the Fund's total operating expenses to exceed the expense commitment in effect at the time the expenses to be recovered were incurred.
At February 28, 2014, the amounts potentially recoverable pursuant to this arrangement are as follows:

The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary in order to maintain a minimum annualized net yield for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yield in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is fully utilized. These reimbursements are voluntary and may be modified or discontinued by the Distributor or the Advisor at any time.
Under the Distribution Plan for the Liquidity Class shares, the Trust is currently not reimbursing the Distributor for distribution expenses. Unreimbursed expenses incurred by the Distributor in a given year may not be recovered by the Distributor in subsequent years.
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All Officers of the Trust are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust in accordance with federal securities regulations. The
27
BofA Money Market Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of a portion of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer.
Trustees are compensated for their services to the Fund, as set forth on the Statement of Operations. There are balances reflected as "Trustees' deferred compensation plan" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities which relate to pending payments to retired trustees under legacy deferred compensation plans.
Note 6. Line of Credit
The Fund and the other series of the Trust participate in a $750 million uncommitted, unsecured line of credit provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.
Interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. An annual administration fee of $10,000 is also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund did not borrow under this arrangement.
Note 7. Shareholder Concentration
Certain funds, accounts, individuals or affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Fund's shares. Shares held in omnibus accounts may be beneficially held by one or more individuals or entities other than the owner of record.
Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 8. Significant Risks and Contingencies
The Fund's risks include, but are not limited to the following:
Securities Risk
The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due.
The Fund may be subject to mortgage-related risk. The value of mortgage-backed securities can fall if the owners of the underlying mortgages default or pay off their mortgages sooner than expected, which could happen when interest rates fall, or pay off their mortgages later than expected, which could happen when interest rates rise.
The Fund may be subject to asset-backed securities risk. Payment of interest and repayment of principal may be impacted by the cash flows generated by the assets backing these securities. The value of the Fund's asset-backed securities may also be affected by changes in interest rates, the availability of information concerning the interests in and structure of the pools of purchase contracts, financing leases or sales agreements that are represented by these securities, the creditworthiness of the underlying securities or the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements.
Redemption/Liquidity Risk
The Fund may be subject to redemption risk. The Fund may need to sell portfolio securities to meet shareholder redemption requests. In this scenario, the Fund may not be able to sell portfolio securities because such securities may be deemed illiquid. In such events, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate cash to pay redeeming shareholders. The Fund reserves the right to pay redemption proceeds with securities (a "redemption in kind'). The Fund may, in certain circumstances, suspend redemptions or the payment of redemption proceeds when permitted by applicable rules and regulations.
Legal Proceedings
The Advisor and the Distributor (collectively, the "BofA Group") remain subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") (the "NYAG Settlement") and a settlement order with the SEC (the "SEC Order") on matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires the Advisor and its affiliates to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the BofA Group providing services to the BofA Funds, the BofA Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the
28
BofA Money Market Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
independence of its Board and certain special consulting and compliance measures. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the BofA Group (or predecessor or affiliated entities) agreed, among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; and maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures.
29
Board Consideration and Re-Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)
Even though the following description of the Board's consideration of the investment advisory agreement covers multiple funds, for purposes of this shareholder report, the description is only relevant as to the Fund.
The Board of Trustees (the "Board") of BofA Funds Series Trust (the "Trust"), including a majority of the Trustees who have no direct or indirect interest in the Trust's investment advisory agreement and are not "interested persons" of the Trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") (the "Independent Trustees"), are required annually to review and re-approve the existing investment advisory agreement. Consistent with this requirement, the Board reviewed and re-approved, during the most recent six months covered by this report, the investment advisory agreement with BofA Advisors, LLC ("BoAA") and the Trust, on behalf of BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves, BofA Cash Reserves, BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves, BofA Government Plus Reserves, BofA Government Reserves, BofA Massachusetts Municipal Reserves, BofA Money Market Reserves, BofA Municipal Reserves, BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves, BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves and BofA Treasury Reserves. The Trust's investment advisory agreement with BoAA is referred to as the "Advisory Agreement." The funds identified above are each referred to individually as a "Fund" and collectively referred to as the "Funds."
More specifically, at a meeting held on December 8-10, 2013, the Board, including the Independent Trustees advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of BoAA and the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement. The Board also reviewed and considered a report prepared and provided by an independent fee consultant (the "Fee Consultant") appointed by the Independent Trustees. The Fee Consultant's role was to manage, and provide input regarding, the process by which the investment advisory fees payable by the Funds under the Advisory Agreement are negotiated. The Fee Consultant found that the Board had the relevant information necessary to evaluate the reasonableness of the proposed management fees for each Fund and that the fee negotiation process was, to the extent practicable, at arms' length and reasonable. A summary of the Fee Consultant's report is available at http://www.bofacapital.com.
In preparation for the December meeting, the Board met in October 2013 to review and discuss the materials described below. The Board also received performance and other reports at its quarterly meetings, and the Board's Contracts Review Committee met on multiple occasions prior to the October meeting to assist the Board in preparation for the Board's consideration of the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement. BoAA's responses to a detailed series of requests submitted by the Fee Consultant and the Independent Trustees' independent legal counsel on the Board's behalf also were presented to the Board. All of these submissions and reports were considered by the Board in the context of, among other things, the recent history of money market funds and the investments available to such funds, as well as possible changes in markets and the regulatory scheme in which such funds operate. The Board's review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to it and are not the result of any single controlling factor. The Board evaluated all information available to it on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and its determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreement by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from BoAA.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board received and considered various data and information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by BoAA under the Advisory Agreement. BoAA's most recent form registering it as an investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission was also made available to the Board. The Board reviewed and analyzed those materials, which included, among other things, information about the background and experience of senior management and investment personnel of BoAA.
In addition, the Board considered the investment and compliance programs of the Funds and BoAA, including reports of the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer as well as periodic reports from an Independent Compliance Consultant. In this connection, the Board considered information regarding BoAA's ongoing monitoring and risk management oversight activities, including BoAA's "stress testing" initiatives that were presented to the Board on a quarterly basis throughout the year.
30
The Board evaluated the ability of BoAA and certain of its affiliates, based on their resources, reputation and other attributes, to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. In this regard, the Board considered information regarding the nature of BoAA's compensation structure applicable to portfolio managers and other key investment personnel. In addition, the Board took into account the administrative services provided to the Funds by BoAA, including BoAA's oversight of third party service providers.
Based on the above factors, together with those referenced below, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to each of the Funds by BoAA.
Investment Advisory Fee Rates and Other Expenses. The Board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual investment advisory fee rates both separately and together with the administration fee rates payable by the Funds (the "Contractual Management Fee Rates"). In addition, the Board reviewed the proposed fee waiver/cap arrangements applicable to the Contractual Management Fee Rates and considered the Contractual Management Fee Rates after taking the proposed waivers/caps into account (the "Actual Management Fee Rates"). The Board also noted that the Fund's distributor, BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), had voluntarily undertaken to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.00% for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Board noted that BoAA had voluntarily undertaken to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yields in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is not sufficient to maintain the minimum annualized net yields described above. The Board noted that these undertakings, as well as other applicable voluntary waivers and expense caps for certain Funds, were voluntary and could be modified or discontinued by the Distributor and/or BoAA at any time.
The Board reviewed and considered statistical information regarding each Fund's total expense ratio and its various components, including contractual advisory fees, actual advisory fees, administration fees, actual non-management
fees, Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder servicing and administration fees, fee waivers/caps and/or expense reimbursements. The Board also reviewed comparisons of these fees to the expense information for the group of funds determined to be most similar to a given Fund (the "Peer Group") and to a broader universe of relevant funds (the "Universe"). Lipper Inc., an independent provider of investment company data, selected the funds in each Fund's Universe based on the subsets of the iMoneyNet category peers, which include mutual funds that are viewed by BoAA as direct competitor peers to the Funds in the institutional market and share similar distribution platforms, expense structures and investment objectives. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used to select the mutual funds in each Fund's Peer Group(s) and Universe. Additional comparisons and other data also were prepared by, or at the direction of, the Fee Consultant, which the Board considered during its deliberations.
The Board considered the Contractual and Actual Management Fee Rates and total expense ratio of each Fund on a Fund-by-Fund basis. In this regard, the Board received information comparing each Fund's total expense ratio, Contractual Management Fee Rate and Actual Management Fee Rate to its Peer Group and assigning a quintile ranking for each such category. For example, a Fund that ranked in the first quintile for total expense ratio had a lower expense ratio than at least 80% of the funds in its Peer Group. Where a Fund's total expense ratio, Contractual Management Fee Rate and/or Actual Management Fee Rate was above the median range of its Peer Group (meaning that it ranked in the fourth or fifth quintile), the Board noted other applicable factors described below. In this connection, with respect to BofA Money Market Reserves, the Board noted that the Fund's Contractual Management Fee Rate, Actual Management Fee Rate and total expense ratio were each above the median range of its Peer Group.
The Board generally noted other applicable factors, including, among others, competitive investment performance, the quality of administrative and/or shareholder services, the Fund's total expense ratios for other classes, the Fund's expense cap and waiver arrangements and/or comparisons to subsets of funds and institutional account fees in considering the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement.
31
Fund Performance. The Board considered the investment performance results for each of the Funds over multiple measurement periods. It also considered these results in comparison to the performance results of each Fund's Universe. In particular, in considering the investment performance of each Fund, the Board compared the net return investment performance of representative classes of each Fund to its Universe, which included funds with similar pricing structures and Rule 12b-1 fees. In addition, the Board considered information regarding how BoAA and its affiliates analyze and manage potential risks to the Funds, including BoAA's credit review process and the nature of the Funds' investments.
Profitability. The Board received and considered a detailed profitability analysis of BoAA based on the Contractual Management Fee Rates and the Actual Management Fee Rates, as well as on other relationships between the Funds and BoAA affiliates. The analysis included complex-wide and per-Fund information and was derived from allocation methodologies estimating certain expenses of the Funds. The Board also reviewed information compiled by Lipper comparing profitability information for BoAA to other management companies for which information was publicly available. After reviewing such materials in detail, the Board did not deem the profits and other ancillary benefits that BoAA and its affiliates received from providing these services to be unreasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Board received and considered information regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Funds, whether the Funds have appropriately benefited from any economies of scale and whether there is potential for realization of further economies of scale. The Board also considered information from management regarding potential sources of economies of scale and the impact of decreases in overall Fund assets and the current yield environment on BoAA's ability to realize and share economies of scale. The Board concluded that any potential economies of scale are shared fairly with Fund shareholders, most particularly through breakpoints, fee waiver arrangements and further investments by BoAA relating to services provided to the Funds.
Information About Services to Other BoAA Clients. The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services and fee rates offered by
BoAA to its other clients, including institutional investors, unregistered and offshore funds and clients for which BoAA serves as a sub-advisor. In this regard, the Board concluded that, where the Contractual Management Fee Rates and Actual Management Fee Rates were appreciably above the range of the fee rates charged to other BoAA clients, based on information provided by BoAA, the additional services provided, costs and risks associated with sponsoring, managing and operating the Funds provided a justification for the higher fee rates charged to the Funds.
Other Benefits to BoAA. The Board received and considered information regarding potential "fall-out" or ancillary benefits that could be received by BoAA and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. Such benefits include, among others, benefits attributable to BoAA's relationship with the Funds (such as benefits realized by an affiliated broker) and benefits potentially derived from an increase in BoAA's business as a result of its relationship with the Funds (such as the ability to market to shareholders other financial products offered by BoAA and its affiliates).
The Board did not deem such benefits to be unreasonable.
Other Factors and Broader Review. As discussed above, the Board reviewed materials received from BoAA during the re-approval process under Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act. The Board also reviewed and assessed the quality of the services the Funds received from BoAA and its affiliates throughout the year, including in light of regulatory and market developments impacting money market funds. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of BoAA at each of the quarterly meetings and, as necessary, more frequently, which included, among other things, investment performance reports and reports comparing the Funds to certain competitors. In addition, the Board conferred with the Funds' investment personnel at various times throughout the year.
Conclusion. After an evaluation of the above-described factors, and based on its deliberations and analysis of the information provided and alternatives considered, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the compensation payable to BoAA under the Advisory Agreement is fair and equitable. Accordingly, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously re-approved the Advisory Agreement.

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 BofA Fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any particular BofA Fund. References to specific securities should not be construed as a recommendation or investment advice.
Understanding Your Expenses BofA Municipal Reserves
As a fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution (Rule 12b-1) and service 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 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 costs 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.
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:
n For shareholders who receive their account statements from Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.bofacapital.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 888.331.0904. (Institutional Investors, please call 800.353.0828.)
n For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary 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.
The Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $1,000. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.

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 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 Financial Statements BofA Municipal Reserves
February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
BofA Municipal Reserves (the "Fund"), a series of BofA Funds Series Trust (the "Trust"), is a diversified fund. 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 Delaware statutory trust.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with capital preservation and maintenance of a high degree of liquidity.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and the Fund offers eight classes of shares: Adviser Class, Capital Class, Daily Class, Institutional Capital, Institutional Class, Investor Class, Liquidity Class and Trust Class shares. Each class of shares is offered continuously at net asset value. On October 1, 2011, Institutional Capital shares commenced operations and Class Z shares were converted into Institutional Capital shares.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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.
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosures.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Securities in the Fund are valued utilizing the amortized cost valuation method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act subject to the conditions in such rule
being met, including that the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") continues to believe that the amortized cost valuation method fairly reflects the market-based net asset value per share of the Fund. This method involves valuing a portfolio security initially at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant accretion or amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, respectively. The Board has established procedures reasonably designed, taking into account the current market conditions and the Fund's investment objective, to ensure compliance with Rule 2a-7's requirements. These procedures include, among other things, determinations, at such intervals as the Board deems appropriate and reasonable in light of current market conditions, of the extent, if any, to which the Fund's market based net asset value deviates from $1.00 per share.
GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 Prices determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
• Level 2 Prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others).
• Level 3 Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
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.
26
BofA Municipal Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
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.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
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" ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to 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 seeks to avoid federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The Fund generally intends to distribute any net realized capital gain (whether long-term or short-term gain) at least once a year. 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 may provide general indemnities. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and, in the case of the Trustees, 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. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Note 3. Federal Tax Information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carry forwards) under income tax regulations.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended August 31, 2013 was as follows:
Distributions paid from |
|||||||
Tax-Exempt Income |
$ |
776,314 |
|||||
Ordinary Income* |
320,181 |
* For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.
The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") requires that capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, the effective date of the Act (the "Effective Date"), be fully used before capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years prior to the Effective Date. Therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carry forwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after the Effective Date.
27
BofA Municipal Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
As of August 31, 2013, the Fund had pre-Effective Date capital loss carry forwards which, if not used, will expire as follows:
Year of Expiration |
Capital Loss Carry Forwards |
||||||
2017 |

226,472 |
As of August 31, 2013, the Fund had post-Act capital losses as follows:
Short-Term Losses |
|||||||
$ |
75,393 |
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 50 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 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates and Other Expenses
Investment Advisory Fee
BofA Advisors, LLC (the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("BAC"), provides investment advisory services to the Fund. The Advisor receives a monthly investment advisory fee, calculated based on the combined average daily net assets of the Fund and the
other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates:

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the combined investment advisory fee and administration fee for the Fund to an annual rate of 0.19% of the Fund's average daily net assets through December 31, 2014. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund's effective investment advisory fee rate, net of fee waivers, was 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fee
The Advisor provides administrative and other services to the Fund for a monthly administration fee, calculated based on the combined average daily net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates, less the fees payable by the Fund as described under the Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees note below:

Additionally, the Advisor has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") to provide certain administrative services under a sub-administration agreement. The Advisor pays State Street a fee for all services received under this agreement.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund's effective administration fee rate, net of fee waivers but including payments made to State Street for pricing and bookkeeping fees, as outlined below, was 0.04% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
28
BofA Municipal Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
The Trust has entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. The Trust has also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") with State Street and the Advisor 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 plus an additional monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of 0.015% of average daily net assets of the Fund. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). In addition, the Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges including fees associated with pricing the securities held in the Investment Portfolio.
Transfer Agent Fee
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") serves as transfer agent for the Fund's shares. Under a transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholders' servicing agent agreement with the Trust, the Transfer Agent provides transfer agency, dividend disbursing agency and shareholder servicing agency services to the Fund.
The Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $1,000. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the principal underwriter of the Fund's shares.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan ("Distribution Plan") for the Daily Class, Investor Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act permits the Fund to compensate and/or reimburse the Distributor for distribution services provided by it and related expenses incurred, including payments by the Distributor to eligible financial
intermediaries for selling shares of the Funds and providing services to investors.
The Trust also has adopted a shareholder servicing plan ("Shareholder Servicing Plan") for the Adviser Class, Daily Class, Investor Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Shareholder Servicing Plan permits the Fund to compensate eligible financial intermediaries for providing shareholder services. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to the Shareholder Servicing Plan is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.

Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements
The Advisor and/or some of the Fund's other service providers have contractually agreed to bear a portion of the
Fund's expenses through December 31, 2014, so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding any distribution, shareholder servicing and/or shareholder administration fees, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any), do not exceed the annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
The Advisor and the Distributor are entitled to recover from the Fund certain fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed for a three-year period following the date of such waiver and/or reimbursement if such recovery does not cause the Fund's total operating expenses to exceed the expense commitment in effect at the time the expenses to be recovered were incurred.
At February 28, 2014, the amounts potentially recoverable pursuant to this arrangement are as follows:

The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary in order to maintain a minimum annualized net yield for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yield in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is fully utilized. These reimbursements are voluntary and may be modified or discontinued by the Distributor or the Advisor at any time.
Under the Distribution Plan for the Liquidity Class shares, the Trust is currently not reimbursing the Distributor for distribution expenses. Unreimbursed expenses incurred by the Distributor in a given year may not be recovered by the Distributor in subsequent years.
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All Officers of the Trust are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of a portion of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer.
Trustees are compensated for their services to the Fund, as set forth on the Statement of Operations. There are balances reflected as "Trustees' deferred compensation plan" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities which relate to pending payments to retired trustees under legacy deferred compensation plans.
30
BofA Municipal Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Note 5. Line of Credit
The Fund and the other series of the Trust participate in a $750 million uncommitted, unsecured line of credit provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.
Interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. An annual administration fee of $10,000 is also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund did not borrow under this arrangement.
Note 6. Shareholder Concentration
Certain funds, accounts, individuals or affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Fund's shares. Shares held in omnibus accounts may be beneficially held by one or more individuals or entities other than the owner of record.
Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 7. Significant Risks and Contingencies
The Fund's risks include, but are not limited to the following:
Securities Risk
The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due.
Redemption/Liquidity Risk
The Fund may be subject to redemption risk. The Fund may need to sell portfolio securities to meet shareholder redemption requests. In this scenario, the Fund may not be able to sell portfolio securities because such securities may be deemed illiquid. In such events, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate cash to pay redeeming shareholders. The Fund
reserves the right to pay redemption proceeds with securities (a "redemption in kind'). The Fund may, in certain circumstances, suspend redemptions or the payment of redemption proceeds when permitted by applicable rules and regulations.
Legal Proceedings
The Advisor and the Distributor (collectively, the "BofA Group") remain subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") (the "NYAG Settlement") and a settlement order with the SEC (the "SEC Order") on matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires the Advisor and its affiliates to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the BofA Group providing services to the BofA Funds, the BofA Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of its Board and certain special consulting and compliance measures. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the BofA Group (or predecessor or affiliated entities) agreed, among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; and maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures.

Board Consideration and Re-Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)
Even though the following description of the Board's consideration of the investment advisory agreement covers multiple funds, for purposes of this shareholder report, the description is only relevant as to the Fund.
The Board of Trustees (the "Board") of BofA Funds Series Trust (the "Trust"), including a majority of the Trustees who have no direct or indirect interest in the Trust's investment advisory agreement and are not "interested persons" of the Trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") (the "Independent Trustees"), are required annually to review and re-approve the existing investment advisory agreement. Consistent with this requirement, the Board reviewed and re-approved, during the most recent six months covered by this report, the investment advisory agreement with BofA Advisors, LLC ("BoAA") and the Trust, on behalf of BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves, BofA Cash Reserves, BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves, BofA Government Plus Reserves, BofA Government Reserves, BofA Massachusetts Municipal Reserves, BofA Money Market Reserves, BofA Municipal Reserves, BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves, BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves and BofA Treasury Reserves. The Trust's investment advisory agreement with BoAA is referred to as the "Advisory Agreement." The funds identified above are each referred to individually as a "Fund" and collectively referred to as the "Funds."
More specifically, at a meeting held on December 8-10, 2013, the Board, including the Independent Trustees advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of BoAA and the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement. The Board also reviewed and considered a report prepared and provided by an independent fee consultant (the "Fee Consultant") appointed by the Independent Trustees. The Fee Consultant's role was to manage, and provide input regarding, the process by which the investment advisory fees payable by the Funds under the Advisory Agreement are negotiated. The Fee Consultant found that the Board had the relevant information necessary to evaluate the reasonableness of the proposed management fees for each Fund and that the fee negotiation process was, to the extent practicable, at arms' length and reasonable. A summary of the Fee Consultant's report is available at http://www.bofacapital.com.
In preparation for the December meeting, the Board met in October 2013 to review and discuss the materials described below. The Board also received performance and other reports at its quarterly meetings, and the Board's Contracts Review Committee met on multiple occasions prior to the October meeting to assist the Board in preparation for the Board's consideration of the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement. BoAA's responses to a detailed series of requests submitted by the Fee Consultant and the Independent Trustees' independent legal counsel on the Board's behalf also were presented to the Board. All of these submissions and reports were considered by the Board in the context of, among other things, the recent history of money market funds and the investments available to such funds, as well as possible changes in markets and the regulatory scheme in which such funds operate. The Board's review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to it and are not the result of any single controlling factor. The Board evaluated all information available to it on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and its determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreement by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from BoAA.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board received and considered various data and information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by BoAA under the Advisory Agreement. BoAA's most recent form registering it as an investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission was also made available to the Board. The Board reviewed and analyzed those materials, which included, among other things, information about the background and experience of senior management and investment personnel of BoAA.
In addition, the Board considered the investment and compliance programs of the Funds and BoAA, including reports of the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer as well as periodic reports from an Independent Compliance Consultant. In this connection, the Board considered information regarding BoAA's ongoing monitoring and risk management oversight activities, including BoAA's "stress testing" initiatives that were presented to the Board on a quarterly basis throughout the year.
32
The Board evaluated the ability of BoAA and certain of its affiliates, based on their resources, reputation and other attributes, to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. In this regard, the Board considered information regarding the nature of BoAA's compensation structure applicable to portfolio managers and other key investment personnel. In addition, the Board took into account the administrative services provided to the Funds by BoAA, including BoAA's oversight of third party service providers.
Based on the above factors, together with those referenced below, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to each of the Funds by BoAA.
Investment Advisory Fee Rates and Other Expenses. The Board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual investment advisory fee rates both separately and together with the administration fee rates payable by the Funds (the "Contractual Management Fee Rates"). In addition, the Board reviewed the proposed fee waiver/cap arrangements applicable to the Contractual Management Fee Rates and considered the Contractual Management Fee Rates after taking the proposed waivers/caps into account (the "Actual Management Fee Rates"). The Board also noted that the Fund's distributor, BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), had voluntarily undertaken to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.00% for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Board noted that BoAA had voluntarily undertaken to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yields in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is not sufficient to maintain the minimum annualized net yields described above. The Board noted that these undertakings, as well as other applicable voluntary waivers and expense caps for certain Funds, were voluntary and could be modified or discontinued by the Distributor and/or BoAA at any time.
The Board reviewed and considered statistical information regarding each Fund's total expense ratio and its various components, including contractual advisory fees, actual advisory fees, administration fees, actual non-management
fees, Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder servicing and administration fees, fee waivers/caps and/or expense reimbursements. The Board also reviewed comparisons of these fees to the expense information for the group of funds determined to be most similar to a given Fund (the "Peer Group") and to a broader universe of relevant funds (the "Universe"). Lipper Inc., an independent provider of investment company data, selected the funds in each Fund's Universe based on the subsets of the iMoneyNet category peers, which include mutual funds that are viewed by BoAA as direct competitor peers to the Funds in the institutional market and share similar distribution platforms, expense structures and investment objectives. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used to select the mutual funds in each Fund's Peer Group(s) and Universe. Additional comparisons and other data also were prepared by, or at the direction of, the Fee Consultant, which the Board considered during its deliberations.
The Board considered the Contractual and Actual Management Fee Rates and total expense ratio of each Fund on a Fund-by-Fund basis. In this regard, the Board received information comparing each Fund's total expense ratio, Contractual Management Fee Rate and Actual Management Fee Rate to its Peer Group and assigning a quintile ranking for each such category. For example, a Fund that ranked in the first quintile for total expense ratio had a lower expense ratio than at least 80% of the funds in its Peer Group. Where a Fund's total expense ratio, Contractual Management Fee Rate and/or Actual Management Fee Rate was above the median range of its Peer Group (meaning that it ranked in the fourth or fifth quintile), the Board noted other applicable factors described below. In this connection, with respect to BofA Municipal Reserves, the Board noted that the Fund's Contractual Management Fee Rate, Actual Management Fee Rate and total expense ratio were each above the median range of its Peer Group.
The Board generally noted other applicable factors, including, among others, competitive investment performance, the quality of administrative and/or shareholder services, the Fund's total expense ratios for other classes, the Fund's expense cap and waiver arrangements and/or comparisons to subsets of funds and institutional account fees in considering the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement.
33
Fund Performance. The Board considered the investment performance results for each of the Funds over multiple measurement periods. It also considered these results in comparison to the performance results of each Fund's Universe. In particular, in considering the investment performance of each Fund, the Board compared the net return investment performance of representative classes of each Fund to its Universe, which included funds with similar pricing structures and Rule 12b-1 fees. In addition, the Board considered information regarding how BoAA and its affiliates analyze and manage potential risks to the Funds, including BoAA's credit review process and the nature of the Funds' investments.
Profitability. The Board received and considered a detailed profitability analysis of BoAA based on the Contractual Management Fee Rates and the Actual Management Fee Rates, as well as on other relationships between the Funds and BoAA affiliates. The analysis included complex-wide and per-Fund information and was derived from allocation methodologies estimating certain expenses of the Funds. The Board also reviewed information compiled by Lipper comparing profitability information for BoAA to other management companies for which information was publicly available. After reviewing such materials in detail, the Board did not deem the profits and other ancillary benefits that BoAA and its affiliates received from providing these services to be unreasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Board received and considered information regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Funds, whether the Funds have appropriately benefited from any economies of scale and whether there is potential for realization of further economies of scale. The Board also considered information from management regarding potential sources of economies of scale and the impact of decreases in overall Fund assets and the current yield environment on BoAA's ability to realize and share economies of scale. The Board concluded that any potential economies of scale are shared fairly with Fund shareholders, most particularly through breakpoints, fee waiver arrangements and further investments by BoAA relating to services provided to the Funds.
Information About Services to Other BoAA Clients. The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services and fee rates offered by
BoAA to its other clients, including institutional investors, unregistered and offshore funds and clients for which BoAA serves as a sub-advisor. In this regard, the Board concluded that, where the Contractual Management Fee Rates and Actual Management Fee Rates were appreciably above the range of the fee rates charged to other BoAA clients, based on information provided by BoAA, the additional services provided, costs and risks associated with sponsoring, managing and operating the Funds provided a justification for the higher fee rates charged to the Funds.
Other Benefits to BoAA. The Board received and considered information regarding potential "fall-out" or ancillary benefits that could be received by BoAA and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. Such benefits include, among others, benefits attributable to BoAA's relationship with the Funds (such as benefits realized by an affiliated broker) and benefits potentially derived from an increase in BoAA's business as a result of its relationship with the Funds (such as the ability to market to shareholders other financial products offered by BoAA and its affiliates).
The Board did not deem such benefits to be unreasonable.
Other Factors and Broader Review. As discussed above, the Board reviewed materials received from BoAA during the re-approval process under Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act. The Board also reviewed and assessed the quality of the services the Funds received from BoAA and its affiliates throughout the year, including in light of regulatory and market developments impacting money market funds. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of BoAA at each of the quarterly meetings and, as necessary, more frequently, which included, among other things, investment performance reports and reports comparing the Funds to certain competitors. In addition, the Board conferred with the Funds' investment personnel at various times throughout the year.
Conclusion. After an evaluation of the above-described factors, and based on its deliberations and analysis of the information provided and alternatives considered, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the compensation payable to BoAA under the Advisory Agreement is fair and equitable. Accordingly, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously re-approved the Advisory Agreement.

Understanding Your Expenses BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves
As a fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution (Rule 12b-1) and service 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 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 costs 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.
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:
n For shareholders who receive their account statements from Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.bofacapital.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 888.331.0904. (Institutional Investors, please call 800.353.0828.)
n For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary 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.
The Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $1,000. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.

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 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.
(a) The expense ratio shown does not correspond with the relative expense structure of the share class for the period due to the timing of subscriptions and redemptions of shares,fluctuating yields of the portfolio as well as yield floor expense reimbursements made to the share class.

Notes to Financial Statements BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves
February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves (the "Fund"), a series of BofA Funds Series Trust (the "Trust"), is a non-diversified fund. 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 Delaware statutory trust.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks current income exempt from federal income tax and New York individual income tax, consistent with capital preservation and maintenance of a high degree of liquidity.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and the Fund offers four classes of shares: Capital Class, Institutional Class, Investor Class and Trust Class shares. Each class of shares is offered continuously at net asset value. The following changes to the Fund's share classes occurred on October 1, 2011: Investor Class shares commenced operations; Class A shares were converted into Investor Class shares; and G-Trust shares and Retail A shares were converted into Capital Class shares.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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.
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosures.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Securities in the Fund are valued utilizing the amortized cost valuation method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act subject to the conditions in such rule being met, including that the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") continues to believe that the amortized cost valuation method fairly reflects the market-based net asset value per share of the Fund. This method involves valuing a portfolio security initially at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant accretion or amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, respectively. The Board has established procedures reasonably designed, taking into account the current market conditions and the Fund's investment objective, to ensure compliance with Rule 2a-7's requirements. These procedures include, among other things, determinations, at such intervals as the Board deems appropriate and reasonable in light of current market conditions, of the extent, if any, to which the Fund's market based net asset value deviates from $1.00 per share.
GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 Prices determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
• Level 2 Prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others).
• Level 3 Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
15
BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
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. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
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.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
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" ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to 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 seeks to avoid federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The Fund generally intends to distribute any net realized capital gain (whether long-term or
short-term gain) at least once a year. 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 may provide general indemnities. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and, in the case of the Trustees, 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. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Note 3. Federal Tax Information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carry forwards) under income tax regulations.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended August 31, 2013 was as follows:
Distributions paid from
Tax-Exempt Income |
$ |
50,153 |
|||||
Ordinary Income* |
6,529 |
* For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.
The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") requires that capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, the effective date of the Act (the "Effective Date"), be fully used before capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years prior to the Effective Date. Therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carry forwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after the Effective Date.
16
BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
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 50 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 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates and Other Expenses
Investment Advisory Fee
BofA Advisors, LLC (the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("BAC"), provides investment advisory services to the Fund. The Advisor receives a monthly investment advisory fee, calculated based on the combined average daily net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates:

0.08 |

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the combined investment advisory fee and administration fee for the Fund to an annual rate of 0.19% of the Fund's average daily net assets through December 31, 2014. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund's effective investment advisory fee rate, net of fee waivers, was 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fee
The Advisor provides administrative and other services to the Fund for a monthly administration fee, calculated based on the combined average daily net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates, less the fees payable by the Fund as described under the Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees note below:

Additionally, the Advisor has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") to provide certain administrative services under a sub-administration agreement. The Advisor pays State Street a fee for all services received under this agreement.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund's effective administration fee rate, net of fee waivers but including payments made to State Street for pricing and bookkeeping fees, as outlined below, was 0.04% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
The Trust has entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. The Trust has also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") with State Street and the Advisor 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 plus an additional monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of 0.015% of average daily net assets of the Fund. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). In addition, the Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges including fees associated with pricing the securities held in the Investment Portfolio.
17
BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Transfer Agent Fee
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") serves as transfer agent for the Fund's shares. Under a transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholders' servicing agent agreement with the Trust, the Transfer Agent provides transfer agency, dividend disbursing agency and shareholder servicing agency services to the Fund.
The Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $1,000. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the principal underwriter of the Fund's shares.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan ("Distribution Plan") for the Investor Class shares of the Fund. The Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act permits the Fund to compensate and/or reimburse the Distributor for distribution services provided by it and related expenses incurred, including payments by the Distributor to eligible financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Funds and providing services to investors.
The Trust also has adopted a shareholder servicing plan ("Shareholder Servicing Plan") for the Investor Class shares of the Fund. The Shareholder Servicing Plan permits the Fund to compensate eligible financial intermediaries for providing shareholder services. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to the Shareholder Servicing Plan is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.
The annual rates in effect and plan limits, each as a percentage of average daily net assets, follow:

Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements
The Advisor and/or some of the Fund's other service providers have contractually agreed to bear a portion of the Fund's expenses through December 31, 2014, so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding any distribution, shareholder servicing and/or shareholder administration fees, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any), do not exceed the annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
The Advisor and the Distributor are entitled to recover from the Fund certain fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed for a three-year period following the date of such waiver and/or reimbursement if such recovery does not cause the Fund's total operating expenses to exceed the expense commitment in effect at the time the expenses to be recovered were incurred.

The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary in order to maintain a minimum annualized net yield for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yield in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is fully utilized. These reimbursements are voluntary and may be modified or discontinued by the Distributor or the Advisor at any time.
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All Officers of the Trust are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of a portion of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer.
Trustees are compensated for their services to the Fund, as set forth on the Statement of Operations. There are balances reflected as "Trustees' deferred compensation plan" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities which relate to pending payments to retired trustees under legacy deferred compensation plans.
Note 5. Line of Credit
The Fund and the other series of the Trust participate in a $750 million uncommitted, unsecured line of credit provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.
Interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR
Rate plus 1.25%. An annual administration fee of $10,000 is also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund did not borrow under this arrangement.
Note 6. Shareholder Concentration
Certain funds, accounts, individuals or affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Fund's shares. Shares held in omnibus accounts may be beneficially held by one or more individuals or entities other than the owner of record.
Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 7. Significant Risks and Contingencies
The Fund's risks include, but are not limited to the following:
Securities Risk
The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due.
Redemption/Liquidity Risk
The Fund may be subject to redemption risk. The Fund may need to sell portfolio securities to meet shareholder redemption requests. In this scenario, the Fund may not be able to sell portfolio securities because such securities may be deemed illiquid. In such events, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate cash to pay redeeming shareholders. The Fund reserves the right to pay redemption proceeds with securities (a "redemption in kind'). The Fund may, in certain circumstances, suspend redemptions or the payment of redemption proceeds when permitted by applicable rules and regulations.

BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Non-Diversification Risk
The Fund is non-diversified, which generally means that it may invest a greater percentage of the total assets in the securities of fewer issuers than a "diversified" fund. This increases the risk that a change in the value of any one investment held by a Fund could affect the value of shares of the Fund more than it would affect the value of shares of a diversified fund holding a greater number of investments. Accordingly, the Fund's value will likely be more volatile than the value of more diversified funds. The Fund may not operate as a non-diversified fund at all times.
Geographic Concentration Risk
The Fund invests primarily in debt obligations issued by the State of New York, and its political subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities and authorities, and other qualified issuers that may be located outside of New York. The Fund is more susceptible to economic and political factors adversely affecting issuers of this state's municipal securities than are municipal bond funds that are not concentrated to the same extent in these issuers.
Legal Proceedings
The Advisor and the Distributor (collectively, the "BofA Group") remain subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") (the "NYAG Settlement") and a settlement order with the SEC (the "SEC Order") on matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires the Advisor and its affiliates to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the BofA Group providing services to the BofA Funds, the BofA Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of its Board and certain special consulting and compliance measures. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the BofA Group (or predecessor or affiliated entities) agreed, among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; and maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures.

Board Consideration and Re-Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)
Even though the following description of the Board's consideration of the investment advisory agreement covers multiple funds, for purposes of this shareholder report, the description is only relevant as to the Fund.
The Board of Trustees (the "Board") of BofA Funds Series Trust (the "Trust"), including a majority of the Trustees who have no direct or indirect interest in the Trust's investment advisory agreement and are not "interested persons" of the Trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") (the "Independent Trustees"), are required annually to review and re-approve the existing investment advisory agreement. Consistent with this requirement, the Board reviewed and re-approved, during the most recent six months covered by this report, the investment advisory agreement with BofA Advisors, LLC ("BoAA") and the Trust, on behalf of BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves, BofA Cash Reserves, BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves, BofA Government Plus Reserves, BofA Government Reserves, BofA Massachusetts Municipal Reserves, BofA Money Market Reserves, BofA Municipal Reserves, BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves, BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves and BofA Treasury Reserves. The Trust's investment advisory agreement with BoAA is referred to as the "Advisory Agreement." The funds identified above are each referred to individually as a "Fund" and collectively referred to as the "Funds."
More specifically, at a meeting held on December 8-10, 2013, the Board, including the Independent Trustees advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of BoAA and the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement. The Board also reviewed and considered a report prepared and provided by an independent fee consultant (the "Fee Consultant") appointed by the Independent Trustees. The Fee Consultant's role was to manage, and provide input regarding, the process by which the investment advisory fees payable by the Funds under the Advisory Agreement are negotiated. The Fee Consultant found that the Board had the relevant information necessary to evaluate the reasonableness of the proposed management fees for each Fund and that the fee negotiation process was, to the extent practicable, at arms' length and reasonable. A summary of the Fee Consultant's report is available at http://www.bofacapital.com.
In preparation for the December meeting, the Board met in October 2013 to review and discuss the materials described below. The Board also received performance and other reports at its quarterly meetings, and the Board's Contracts Review Committee met on multiple occasions prior to the October meeting to assist the Board in preparation for the Board's consideration of the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement. BoAA's responses to a detailed series of requests submitted by the Fee Consultant and the Independent Trustees' independent legal counsel on the Board's behalf also were presented to the Board. All of these submissions and reports were considered by the Board in the context of, among other things, the recent history of money market funds and the investments available to such funds, as well as possible changes in markets and the regulatory scheme in which such funds operate. The Board's review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to it and are not the result of any single controlling factor. The Board evaluated all information available to it on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and its determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreement by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from BoAA.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board received and considered various data and information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by BoAA under the Advisory Agreement. BoAA's most recent form registering it as an investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission was also made available to the Board. The Board reviewed and analyzed those materials, which included, among other things, information about the background and experience of senior management and investment personnel of BoAA.
In addition, the Board considered the investment and compliance programs of the Funds and BoAA, including reports of the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer as well as periodic reports from an Independent Compliance Consultant. In this connection, the Board considered information regarding BoAA's ongoing monitoring and risk management oversight activities, including BoAA's "stress testing" initiatives that were presented to the Board on a quarterly basis throughout the year.
21
The Board evaluated the ability of BoAA and certain of its affiliates, based on their resources, reputation and other attributes, to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. In this regard, the Board considered information regarding the nature of BoAA's compensation structure applicable to portfolio managers and other key investment personnel. In addition, the Board took into account the administrative services provided to the Funds by BoAA, including BoAA's oversight of third party service providers.
Based on the above factors, together with those referenced below, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to each of the Funds by BoAA.
Investment Advisory Fee Rates and Other Expenses. The Board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual investment advisory fee rates both separately and together with the administration fee rates payable by the Funds (the "Contractual Management Fee Rates"). In addition, the Board reviewed the proposed fee waiver/cap arrangements applicable to the Contractual Management Fee Rates and considered the Contractual Management Fee Rates after taking the proposed waivers/caps into account (the "Actual Management Fee Rates"). The Board also noted that the Fund's distributor, BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), had voluntarily undertaken to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.00% for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Board noted that BoAA had voluntarily undertaken to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yields in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is not sufficient to maintain the minimum annualized net yields described above. The Board noted that these undertakings, as well as other applicable voluntary waivers and expense caps for certain Funds, were voluntary and could be modified or discontinued by the Distributor and/or BoAA at any time.
The Board reviewed and considered statistical information regarding each Fund's total expense ratio and its various components, including contractual advisory fees, actual advisory fees, administration fees, actual non-management
fees, Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder servicing and administration fees, fee waivers/caps and/or expense reimbursements. The Board also reviewed comparisons of these fees to the expense information for the group of funds determined to be most similar to a given Fund (the "Peer Group") and to a broader universe of relevant funds (the "Universe"). Lipper Inc., an independent provider of investment company data, selected the funds in each Fund's Universe based on the subsets of the iMoneyNet category peers, which include mutual funds that are viewed by BoAA as direct competitor peers to the Funds in the institutional market and share similar distribution platforms, expense structures and investment objectives. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used to select the mutual funds in each Fund's Peer Group(s) and Universe. Additional comparisons and other data also were prepared by, or at the direction of, the Fee Consultant, which the Board considered during its deliberations.
The Board considered the Contractual and Actual Management Fee Rates and total expense ratio of each Fund on a Fund-by-Fund basis. In this regard, the Board received information comparing each Fund's total expense ratio, Contractual Management Fee Rate and Actual Management Fee Rate to its Peer Group and assigning a quintile ranking for each such category. For example, a Fund that ranked in the first quintile for total expense ratio had a lower expense ratio than at least 80% of the funds in its Peer Group. The Board noted that BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves' total expense ratio, Actual Management Fee Rate and Contractual Management Fee Rate were each at or below the median range of its Peer Group.
Fund Performance. The Board considered the investment performance results for each of the Funds over multiple measurement periods. It also considered these results in comparison to the performance results of each Fund's Universe. In particular, in considering the investment performance of each Fund, the Board compared the net return investment performance of representative classes of each Fund to its Universe, which included funds with similar pricing structures and Rule 12b-1 fees. In addition, the Board considered information regarding how BoAA and its affiliates analyze and manage potential risks to the Funds, including BoAA's credit review process and the nature of the Funds' investments.
22
Profitability. The Board received and considered a detailed profitability analysis of BoAA based on the Contractual Management Fee Rates and the Actual Management Fee Rates, as well as on other relationships between the Funds and BoAA affiliates. The analysis included complex-wide and per-Fund information and was derived from allocation methodologies estimating certain expenses of the Funds. The Board also reviewed information compiled by Lipper comparing profitability information for BoAA to other management companies for which information was publicly available. After reviewing such materials in detail, the Board did not deem the profits and other ancillary benefits that BoAA and its affiliates received from providing these services to be unreasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Board received and considered information regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Funds, whether the Funds have appropriately benefited from any economies of scale and whether there is potential for realization of further economies of scale. The Board also considered information from management regarding potential sources of economies of scale and the impact of decreases in overall Fund assets and the current yield environment on BoAA's ability to realize and share economies of scale. The Board concluded that any potential economies of scale are shared fairly with Fund shareholders, most particularly through breakpoints, fee waiver arrangements and further investments by BoAA relating to services provided to the Funds.
Information About Services to Other BoAA Clients. The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services and fee rates offered by BoAA to its other clients, including institutional investors, unregistered and offshore funds and clients for which BoAA serves as a sub-advisor. In this regard, the Board concluded that, where the Contractual Management Fee Rates and Actual Management Fee Rates were appreciably above the range of the fee rates charged to other BoAA clients, based on information provided by BoAA, the additional services provided, costs and risks associated with sponsoring, managing and operating the Funds provided a justification for the higher fee rates charged to the Funds.
Other Benefits to BoAA. The Board received and considered information regarding potential "fall-out" or ancillary benefits that could be received by BoAA and its
affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. Such benefits include, among others, benefits attributable to BoAA's relationship with the Funds (such as benefits realized by an affiliated broker) and benefits potentially derived from an increase in BoAA's business as a result of its relationship with the Funds (such as the ability to market to shareholders other financial products offered by BoAA and its affiliates).
The Board did not deem such benefits to be unreasonable.
Other Factors and Broader Review. As discussed above, the Board reviewed materials received from BoAA during the re-approval process under Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act. The Board also reviewed and assessed the quality of the services the Funds received from BoAA and its affiliates throughout the year, including in light of regulatory and market developments impacting money market funds. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of BoAA at each of the quarterly meetings and, as necessary, more frequently, which included, among other things, investment performance reports and reports comparing the Funds to certain competitors. In addition, the Board conferred with the Funds' investment personnel at various times throughout the year.
Conclusion. After an evaluation of the above-described factors, and based on its deliberations and analysis of the information provided and alternatives considered, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the compensation payable to BoAA under the Advisory Agreement is fair and equitable. Accordingly, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously re-approved the Advisory Agreement.

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.

Understanding Your Expenses BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves
As a fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution (Rule 12b-1) and service 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 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 costs 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.
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:
n For shareholders who receive their account statements from Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.bofacapital.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 888.331.0904. (Institutional Investors, please call 800.353.0828.)
n For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary 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.
The Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $1,000. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.

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 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 Financial Statements BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves
February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves (the "Fund"), a series of BofA Funds Series Trust (the "Trust"), is a diversified fund. 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 Delaware statutory trust.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with capital preservation and maintenance of a high degree of liquidity.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and the Fund offers eight classes of shares: Adviser Class, Capital Class, Daily Class, Institutional Capital, Institutional Class, Investor Class, Liquidity Class and Trust Class shares. Each class of shares is offered continuously at net asset value. After the close of business on September 30, 2011, G-Trust Class shares were renamed Institutional Capital shares. On October 1, 2011, Class A shares were converted into Investor Class shares and Retail A shares were converted into Capital Class shares.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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.
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosures.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Securities in the Fund are valued utilizing the amortized cost valuation method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act subject to the conditions in such rule being met, including that the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") continues to believe that the amortized cost valuation method fairly reflects the market-based net asset value per share of the Fund. This method involves valuing a portfolio security initially at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant accretion or amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, respectively. The Board has established procedures reasonably designed, taking into account the current market conditions and the Fund's investment objective, to ensure compliance with Rule 2a-7's requirements. These procedures include, among other things, determinations, at such intervals as the Board deems appropriate and reasonable in light of current market conditions, of the extent, if any, to which the Fund's market based net asset value deviates from $1.00 per share.
GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 Prices determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
• Level 2 Prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others).
• Level 3 Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
35
BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
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. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
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.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
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" ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to 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 seeks to avoid federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The Fund generally intends to distribute any net realized capital gain (whether long-term or
short-term gain) at least once a year. 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 may provide general indemnities. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and, in the case of the Trustees, 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. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Note 3. Federal Tax Information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carry forwards) under income tax regulations.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended August 31, 2013 was as follows:
Distributions paid from |
|||||||
Tax-Exempt Income |
$ |
257,350 |
|||||
Ordinary Income* |
|
* For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.
The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") requires that capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, the effective date of the Act (the "Effective Date"), be fully used before capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years prior to the Effective Date. Therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carry forwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after the Effective Date.
36
BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
As of August 31, 2013, the Fund had post-Effective Date capital losses as follows:
Short-Term Losses | |||
$ |
146,546 |
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 50 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 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates and Other Expenses
Investment Advisory Fee
BofA Advisors, LLC (the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("BAC"), provides investment advisory services to the Fund. The Advisor receives a monthly investment advisory fee, calculated based on the combined average daily net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates:
Average Daily Net Assets |

|||||
$175 billion to $225 billion |
0.13 |

% |
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the combined investment advisory fee and administration fee for the Fund
to an annual rate of 0.19% of the Fund's average daily net assets through December 31, 2014. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund's effective investment advisory fee rate, net of fee waivers, was 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fee
The Advisor provides administrative and other services to the Fund for a monthly administration fee, calculated based on the combined average daily net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates, less the fees payable by the Fund as described under the Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees note below:

Additionally, the Advisor has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") to provide certain administrative services under a sub-administration agreement. The Advisor pays State Street a fee for all services received under this agreement.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund's effective administration fee rate, net of fee waivers but including payments made to State Street for pricing and bookkeeping fees, as outlined below, was 0.04% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees
The Trust has entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. The Trust has also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") with State Street and the Advisor 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 plus an additional monthly fee based
37
BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
on an annualized percentage rate of 0.015% of average daily net assets of the Fund. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). In addition, the Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges including fees associated with pricing the securities held in the Investment Portfolio.
Transfer Agent Fee
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") serves as transfer agent for the Fund's shares. Under a transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholders' servicing agent agreement with the Trust, the Transfer Agent provides transfer agency, dividend disbursing agency and shareholder servicing agency services to the Fund.
The Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $1,000. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the principal underwriter of the Fund's shares.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan ("Distribution Plan") for the Daily Class, Investor Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act permits the Fund to compensate and/or reimburse the Distributor for distribution services provided by it and related expenses incurred, including payments by the Distributor to eligible financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Funds and providing services to investors.
The Trust also has adopted a shareholder servicing plan ("Shareholder Servicing Plan") for the Adviser Class, Daily Class, Investor Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Shareholder Servicing Plan permits the Fund to compensate eligible financial intermediaries for providing shareholder services. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to the Shareholder Servicing Plan is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.

* The Distributor has contractually agreed to waive Distribution Plan fees and/or Shareholder Servicing Plan fees through December 31, 2014 at an annual rate of 0.10% of the Fund's Liquidity Class shares average daily net assets, so that combined Distribution Plan and Shareholder Servicing Plan fees will not exceed 0.15%. This fee and expense arrangement may only be modified or amended with the approval of all parties to such arrangement, including the Fund (acting through its Board) and the Distributor.
** To the extent that the Liquidity Class shares of the Fund make payments and/or reimbursements pursuant to the Distribution Plan and/or the Shareholder Servicing Plan, the combined total of such payments and/or reimbursements may not exceed, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Liquidity Class shares.
Shareholder Administration Fees
The Trust has adopted shareholder administration plans ("Administration Plans") for the Institutional Class and Trust Class shares of the Fund. Under the Administration Plans, the Fund may pay the Advisor, the Distributor and/or eligible financial intermediaries a fee for shareholder administration services that is in addition to the fees it pays to the Advisor for overseeing the administrative operations of such Fund. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to these plans is paid to affiliates of the Advisor and the Distributor.

Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements
The Advisor and/or some of the Fund's other service providers have contractually agreed to bear a portion of the Fund's expenses through December 31, 2014, so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding any distribution, shareholder servicing and/or shareholder administration fees, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any), do not exceed the annual rate of 0.20% of
the Fund's average daily net assets. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
The Advisor and the Distributor are entitled to recover from the Fund certain fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed for a three-year period following the date of such waiver and/or reimbursement if such recovery does not cause the Fund's total operating expenses to exceed the expense commitment in effect at the time the expenses to be recovered were incurred.
At February 28, 2014, the amounts potentially recoverable pursuant to this arrangement are as follows:

The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary in order to maintain a minimum annualized net yield for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yield in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is fully utilized. These reimbursements are voluntary and may be modified or discontinued by the Distributor or the Advisor at any time.
Under the Distribution Plan for the Liquidity Class shares, the Trust is currently not reimbursing the Distributor for distribution expenses. Unreimbursed expenses incurred by the Distributor in a given year may not be recovered by the Distributor in subsequent years.
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All Officers of the Trust are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of a portion of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer.
Trustees are compensated for their services to the Fund, as set forth on the Statement of Operations. There are balances reflected as "Trustees' deferred compensation plan" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities which relate to pending payments to retired trustees under legacy deferred compensation plans.
Note 5. Line of Credit
The Fund and the other series of the Trust participate in a $750 million uncommitted, unsecured line of credit provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.
Interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. An annual administration fee of $10,000 is also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund did not borrow under this arrangement.
Note 6. Shareholder Concentration
Certain funds, accounts, individuals or affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Fund's shares. Shares held in
39
BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
omnibus accounts may be beneficially held by one or more individuals or entities other than the owner of record.
Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 7. Significant Risks and Contingencies
The Fund's risks include, but are not limited to the following:
Securities Risk
The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due.
Redemption/Liquidity Risk
The Fund may be subject to redemption risk. The Fund may need to sell portfolio securities to meet shareholder redemption requests. In this scenario, the Fund may not be able to sell portfolio securities because such securities may be deemed illiquid. In such events, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate cash to pay redeeming shareholders. The Fund reserves the right to pay redemption proceeds with securities (a "redemption in kind'). The Fund may, in certain circumstances, suspend redemptions or the payment of redemption proceeds when permitted by applicable rules and regulations.

The Advisor and the Distributor (collectively, the "BofA Group") remain subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") (the "NYAG Settlement") and a settlement order with the SEC (the "SEC Order") on matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires the Advisor and its affiliates to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the BofA Group providing services to the BofA Funds, the BofA Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of its Board and certain special consulting and compliance measures. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the BofA Group (or predecessor or affiliated entities) agreed, among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money
penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; and maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures.

Board Consideration and Re-Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)
Even though the following description of the Board's consideration of the investment advisory agreement covers multiple funds, for purposes of this shareholder report, the description is only relevant as to the Fund.
The Board of Trustees (the "Board") of BofA Funds Series Trust (the "Trust"), including a majority of the Trustees who have no direct or indirect interest in the Trust's investment advisory agreement and are not "interested persons" of the Trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") (the "Independent Trustees"), are required annually to review and re-approve the existing investment advisory agreement. Consistent with this requirement, the Board reviewed and re-approved, during the most recent six months covered by this report, the investment advisory agreement with BofA Advisors, LLC ("BoAA") and the Trust, on behalf of BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves, BofA Cash Reserves, BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves, BofA Government Plus Reserves, BofA Government Reserves, BofA Massachusetts Municipal Reserves, BofA Money Market Reserves, BofA Municipal Reserves, BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves, BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves and BofA Treasury Reserves. The Trust's investment advisory agreement with BoAA is referred to as the "Advisory Agreement." The funds identified above are each referred to individually as a "Fund" and collectively referred to as the "Funds."
More specifically, at a meeting held on December 8-10, 2013, the Board, including the Independent Trustees advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of BoAA and the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement. The Board also reviewed and considered a report prepared and provided by an independent fee consultant (the "Fee Consultant") appointed by the Independent Trustees. The Fee Consultant's role was to manage, and provide input regarding, the process by which the investment advisory fees payable by the Funds under the Advisory Agreement are negotiated. The Fee Consultant found that the Board had the relevant information necessary to evaluate the reasonableness of the proposed management fees for each Fund and that the fee negotiation process was, to the extent practicable, at arms' length and reasonable. A summary of the Fee Consultant's report is available at http://www.bofacapital.com.
In preparation for the December meeting, the Board met in October 2013 to review and discuss the materials described below. The Board also received performance and other reports at its quarterly meetings, and the Board's Contracts Review Committee met on multiple occasions prior to the October meeting to assist the Board in preparation for the Board's consideration of the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement. BoAA's responses to a detailed series of requests submitted by the Fee Consultant and the Independent Trustees' independent legal counsel on the Board's behalf also were presented to the Board. All of these submissions and reports were considered by the Board in the context of, among other things, the recent history of money market funds and the investments available to such funds, as well as possible changes in markets and the regulatory scheme in which such funds operate. The Board's review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to it and are not the result of any single controlling factor. The Board evaluated all information available to it on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and its determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreement by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from BoAA.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board received and considered various data and information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by BoAA under the Advisory Agreement. BoAA's most recent form registering it as an investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission was also made available to the Board. The Board reviewed and analyzed those materials, which included, among other things, information about the background and experience of senior management and investment personnel of BoAA.
In addition, the Board considered the investment and compliance programs of the Funds and BoAA, including reports of the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer as well as periodic reports from an Independent Compliance Consultant. In this connection, the Board considered information regarding BoAA's ongoing monitoring and risk management oversight activities, including BoAA's "stress testing" initiatives that were presented to the Board on a quarterly basis throughout the year.
41
The Board evaluated the ability of BoAA and certain of its affiliates, based on their resources, reputation and other attributes, to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. In this regard, the Board considered information regarding the nature of BoAA's compensation structure applicable to portfolio managers and other key investment personnel. In addition, the Board took into account the administrative services provided to the Funds by BoAA, including BoAA's oversight of third party service providers.
Based on the above factors, together with those referenced below, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to each of the Funds by BoAA.
Investment Advisory Fee Rates and Other Expenses. The Board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual investment advisory fee rates both separately and together with the administration fee rates payable by the Funds (the "Contractual Management Fee Rates"). In addition, the Board reviewed the proposed fee waiver/cap arrangements applicable to the Contractual Management Fee Rates and considered the Contractual Management Fee Rates after taking the proposed waivers/caps into account (the "Actual Management Fee Rates"). The Board also noted that the Fund's distributor, BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), had voluntarily undertaken to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.00% for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Board noted that BoAA had voluntarily undertaken to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yields in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is not sufficient to maintain the minimum annualized net yields described above. The Board noted that these undertakings, as well as other applicable voluntary waivers and expense caps for certain Funds, were voluntary and could be modified or discontinued by the Distributor and/or BoAA at any time.
The Board reviewed and considered statistical information regarding each Fund's total expense ratio and its various components, including contractual advisory fees, actual
advisory fees, administration fees, actual non-management fees, Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder servicing and administration fees, fee waivers/caps and/or expense reimbursements. The Board also reviewed comparisons of these fees to the expense information for the group of funds determined to be most similar to a given Fund (the "Peer Group") and to a broader universe of relevant funds (the "Universe"). Lipper Inc., an independent provider of investment company data, selected the funds in each Fund's Universe based on the subsets of the iMoneyNet category peers, which include mutual funds that are viewed by BoAA as direct competitor peers to the Funds in the institutional market and share similar distribution platforms, expense structures and investment objectives. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used to select the mutual funds in each Fund's Peer Group(s) and Universe. Additional comparisons and other data also were prepared by, or at the direction of, the Fee Consultant, which the Board considered during its deliberations.
The Board considered the Contractual and Actual Management Fee Rates and total expense ratio of each Fund on a Fund-by-Fund basis. In this regard, the Board received information comparing each Fund's total expense ratio, Contractual Management Fee Rate and Actual Management Fee Rate to its Peer Group and assigning a quintile ranking for each such category. For example, a Fund that ranked in the first quintile for total expense ratio had a lower expense ratio than at least 80% of the funds in its Peer Group. Where a Fund's total expense ratio, Contractual Management Fee Rate and/or Actual Management Fee Rate was above the median range of its Peer Group (meaning that it ranked in the fourth or fifth quintile), the Board noted other applicable factors described below. In this connection, with respect to BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves, the Board noted that the Fund's Contractual Management Fee Rate was above the median range of its Peer Group.
The Board generally noted other applicable factors, including, among others, competitive investment performance, the quality of administrative and/or shareholder services, the Fund's total expense ratios for other classes, the Fund's expense cap and waiver arrangements and/or comparisons to subsets of funds and institutional account fees in considering the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement.
42
Fund Performance. The Board considered the investment performance results for each of the Funds over multiple measurement periods. It also considered these results in comparison to the performance results of each Fund's Universe. In addition, the Board considered information regarding how BoAA and its affiliates analyze and manage potential risks to the Funds, including BoAA's credit review process and the nature of the Funds' investments.
In considering the investment performance of each Fund, the Board compared the net return investment performance of representative classes of each Fund to its Universe, which included funds with similar pricing structures and Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board received information showing that specific classes of certain Funds generally outperformed their peers in the more recent periods, while certain other classes underperformed their peers in the more recent periods. In particular, the Board noted that the net return investment performance of certain classes of BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves was below the median range of such Fund's Universe (meaning that the Fund's performance ranked in the fourth or fifth quintile relative to its Universe) over certain recent periods.
Where net return investment performance of a class of a particular Fund was below the median range of the Fund's Universe, the Board, in considering the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement for such Fund, generally noted other applicable factors, including, among others, stronger relative net return performance of other classes or over other periods, the relatively tight dispersion of performance data within a particular Universe, the Fund's Actual Management Fee Rate, Contractual Management Fee Rate and/or total expense ratio, the Fund's expense cap and waiver arrangements, the composition and share classes used in the comparisons and BoAA's emphasis on liquidity and capital preservation, as well as its organizational strength and capacity and its history with the Funds.
Profitability. The Board received and considered a detailed profitability analysis of BoAA based on the Contractual Management Fee Rates and the Actual Management Fee Rates, as well as on other relationships between the Funds and BoAA affiliates. The analysis included complex-wide and per-Fund information and was derived from allocation methodologies estimating certain expenses of the Funds. The Board also reviewed information compiled by Lipper
comparing profitability information for BoAA to other management companies for which information was publicly available. After reviewing such materials in detail, the Board did not deem the profits and other ancillary benefits that BoAA and its affiliates received from providing these services to be unreasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Board received and considered information regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Funds, whether the Funds have appropriately benefited from any economies of scale and whether there is potential for realization of further economies of scale. The Board also considered information from management regarding potential sources of economies of scale and the impact of decreases in overall Fund assets and the current yield environment on BoAA's ability to realize and share economies of scale. The Board concluded that any potential economies of scale are shared fairly with Fund shareholders, most particularly through breakpoints, fee waiver arrangements and further investments by BoAA relating to services provided to the Funds.
Information About Services to Other BoAA Clients. The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services and fee rates offered by BoAA to its other clients, including institutional investors, unregistered and offshore funds and clients for which BoAA serves as a sub-advisor. In this regard, the Board concluded that, where the Contractual Management Fee Rates and Actual Management Fee Rates were appreciably above the range of the fee rates charged to other BoAA clients, based on information provided by BoAA, the additional services provided, costs and risks associated with sponsoring, managing and operating the Funds provided a justification for the higher fee rates charged to the Funds.
Other Benefits to BoAA. The Board received and considered information regarding potential "fall-out" or ancillary benefits that could be received by BoAA and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. Such benefits include, among others, benefits attributable to BoAA's relationship with the Funds (such as benefits realized by an affiliated broker) and benefits potentially derived from an increase in BoAA's business as a result of its relationship with the Funds (such as the ability to market to shareholders other financial products offered by BoAA and its affiliates).
43
The Board did not deem such benefits to be unreasonable.
Other Factors and Broader Review. As discussed above, the Board reviewed materials received from BoAA during the re-approval process under Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act. The Board also reviewed and assessed the quality of the services the Funds received from BoAA and its affiliates throughout the year, including in light of regulatory and market developments impacting money market funds. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of BoAA at each of the quarterly meetings and, as necessary, more frequently, which included, among other things, investment performance reports and reports comparing the Funds to certain competitors. In addition, the Board conferred with the Funds' investment personnel at various times throughout the year.
Conclusion. After an evaluation of the above-described factors, and based on its deliberations and analysis of the information provided and alternatives considered, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the compensation payable to BoAA under the Advisory Agreement is fair and equitable. Accordingly, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously re-approved the Advisory Agreement.

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 BofA Fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any particular BofA Fund. References to specific securities should not be construed as a recommendation or investment advice.
Understanding Your Expenses BofA Treasury Reserves
As a fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution (Rule 12b-1) and service 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 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 costs 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.
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:
n For shareholders who receive their account statements from Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.bofacapital.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 888.331.0904. (Institutional Investors, please call 800.353.0828.)
n For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary 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.
The Fund may automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of a BofA Fund you own separately from any other account of another BofA Fund you may own) falls below $1,000. Please refer to the Prospectus for additional details.

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 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.
(a) The expense ratio shown does not correspond with the relative expense structure of the share class for the period due to the timing of subscriptions and redemptions of shares,fluctuating yields of the portfolio as well as yield floor expense reimbursements made to the share class.

Notes to Financial Statements BofA Treasury Reserves
February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
BofA Treasury Reserves (the "Fund"), a series of BofA Funds Series Trust (the "Trust"), is a diversified fund. 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 Delaware statutory trust.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks current income, consistent with capital preservation and maintenance of a high degree of liquidity.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and the Fund offers nine classes of shares: Adviser Class, Capital Class, Daily Class, Institutional Capital, Institutional Class, Investor Class, Investor II Class, Liquidity Class and Trust Class shares. Each class of shares is offered continuously at net asset value. After the close of business on September 30, 2011, Class A shares were renamed Investor II Class shares. On October 3, 2011, Institutional Capital shares commenced operations.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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.
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosures.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Securities in the Fund are valued utilizing the amortized cost valuation method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7
under the 1940 Act subject to the conditions in such rule being met, including that the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") continues to believe that the amortized cost valuation method fairly reflects the market-based net asset value per share of the Fund. This method involves valuing a portfolio security initially at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant accretion or amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, respectively. The Board has established procedures reasonably designed, taking into account the current market conditions and the Fund's investment objective, to ensure compliance with Rule 2a-7's requirements. These procedures include, among other things, determinations, at such intervals as the Board deems appropriate and reasonable in light of current market conditions, of the extent, if any, to which the Fund's market based net asset value deviates from $1.00 per share.
GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 Prices determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
• Level 2 Prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others).
• Level 3 Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Security Transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the
19
BofA Treasury Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that BofA Advisors, LLC, the Fund's investment advisor (the "Advisor"), determines are creditworthy. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by the securities purchased by the Fund under the repurchase agreements, which may include securities that the Fund is not otherwise directly permitted to purchase, such as long-term government bonds. The Advisor is responsible for determining that such underlying securities are 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.
Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
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.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
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" ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to 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 seeks to avoid federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The Fund generally intends to distribute any net realized capital gain (whether long-term or short-term gain) at least once a year. 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 may provide general indemnities. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents and, in the case of the Trustees, 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. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Note 3. Federal Tax Information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carry forwards) under income tax regulations.
20
BofA Treasury Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended August 31, 2013 was as follows:
Distributions paid from
Ordinary Income* |
$ |
930,333 |
* For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.
The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") requires that capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, the effective date of the Act (the "Effective Date"), be fully used before capital loss carry forwards generated in taxable years prior to the Effective Date. Therefore, under certain circumstances, capital loss carry forwards available as of the report date, if any, may expire unused. This change is effective for fiscal years beginning after the Effective Date.
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 50 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 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates and Other Expenses
Investment Advisory Fee
The Advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation ("BAC"), provides investment advisory services to the Fund. The Advisor receives a monthly investment advisory fee, calculated based on the combined
average daily net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates:
Average Daily Net Assets |
Annual Fee Rates |
||||||
First $175 billion |
0.15 |
% |
|||||
$175 billion to $225 billion |
0.13 |
% |
|||||
Over $225 billion |
0.08 |
% |
The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the combined investment advisory fee and administration fee for the Fund to an annual rate of 0.19% of the Fund's average daily net assets through December 31, 2014. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund's effective investment advisory fee rate, net of fee waivers, was 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Administration Fee
The Advisor provides administrative and other services to the Fund for a monthly administration fee, calculated based on the combined average daily net assets of the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by the Advisor, at the following annual rates, less the fees payable by the Fund as described under the Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees note below:

Additionally, the Advisor has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") to provide certain administrative services under a sub-administration agreement. The Advisor pays State Street a fee for all services received under this agreement.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund's effective administration fee rate, net of fee waivers but including payments made to State Street for pricing and bookkeeping fees, as outlined below, was 0.04% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

The Trust has entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the "Financial Reporting Services Agreement") with State Street and the Advisor pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. The Trust has also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the "State Street Agreements") with State Street and the Advisor 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 plus an additional monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of 0.015% of average daily net assets of the Fund. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). In addition, the Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges including fees associated with pricing the securities held in the Investment Portfolio.
Transfer Agent Fee
Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") serves as transfer agent for the Fund's shares.

Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees
BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the principal underwriter of the Fund's shares.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan ("Distribution Plan") for the Daily Class, Investor Class, Investor II Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund. The Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act permits the Fund to compensate and/or reimburse the Distributor for distribution services provided by it and related expenses incurred, including payments by the Distributor to eligible
financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Funds and providing services to investors.
The Trust also has adopted a shareholder servicing plan ("Shareholder Servicing Plan") for the Adviser Class, Daily Class, Investor Class, Investor II Class and Liquidity Class shares of the Fund.

Shareholder Administration Fees
The Trust has adopted shareholder administration plans ("Administration Plans") for the Institutional Class,
22
BofA Treasury Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Investor II Class and Trust Class shares of the Fund. Under the Administration Plans, the Fund may pay eligible the Advisor, the Distributor and/or eligible financial intermediaries a fee for shareholder administration services that is in addition to the fees it pays to the Advisor for overseeing the administrative operations of such Fund.

Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements
The Advisor and/or some of the Fund's other service providers have contractually agreed to bear a portion of the Fund's expenses through December 31, 2014, so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding any distribution, shareholder servicing and/or shareholder administration fees, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any), do not exceed the annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. There is no guarantee that this expense limitation will continue after such date.
The Advisor and the Distributor are entitled to recover from the Fund certain fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed for a three-year period following the date of such waiver and/or reimbursement if such recovery does not cause the Fund's total operating expenses to exceed the expense commitment in effect at the time the expenses to be recovered were incurred.
At February 28, 2014, the amounts potentially recoverable pursuant to this arrangement are as follows:

The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary in order to maintain a minimum annualized net yield for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yield in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is fully utilized. These reimbursements are voluntary and may be modified or discontinued by the Distributor or the Advisor at any time.
Under the Distribution Plan for the Liquidity Class shares, the Trust is currently not reimbursing the Distributor for distribution expenses. Unreimbursed expenses incurred by the Distributor in a given year may not be recovered by the Distributor in subsequent years.
Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees
All Officers of the Trust are employees of the Advisor or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of a portion of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer.
Trustees are compensated for their services to the Fund, as set forth on the Statement of Operations. There are balances reflected as "Trustees' deferred compensation plan" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities which relate to pending payments to retired trustees under legacy deferred compensation plans.
23
BofA Treasury Reserves, February 28, 2014 (Unaudited)
Note 5. Line of Credit
The Fund and the other series of the Trust participate in a $750 million uncommitted, unsecured line of credit provided by State Street. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.
Interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund's borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. An annual administration fee of $10,000 is also accrued and apportioned to each fund participating in the line of credit based on the average net assets of the participating funds.
For the six months ended February 28, 2014, the Fund did not borrow under this arrangement.
Note 6. Capital Contribution
On November 29, 2010 an affiliate of the Advisor made a voluntary capital contribution to the Fund of $3,865,298.
Note 7. Shareholder Concentration
Certain funds, accounts, individuals or affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Fund's shares. Shares held in omnibus accounts may be beneficially held by one or more individuals or entities other than the owner of record.
Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 8. Significant Risks and Contingencies
The Fund's risks include, but are not limited to the following:
Securities Risk
The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due.
Redemption/Liquidity Risk
The Fund may be subject to redemption risk. The Fund may need to sell portfolio securities to meet shareholder redemption requests. In this scenario, the Fund may not be
able to sell portfolio securities because such securities may be deemed illiquid. In such events, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate cash to pay redeeming shareholders. The Fund reserves the right to pay redemption proceeds with securities (a "redemption in kind'). The Fund may, in certain circumstances, suspend redemptions or the payment of redemption proceeds when permitted by applicable rules and regulations.
Legal Proceedings
The Advisor and the Distributor (collectively, the "BofA Group") remain subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") (the "NYAG Settlement") and a settlement order with the SEC (the "SEC Order") on matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires the Advisor and its affiliates to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the BofA Group providing services to the BofA Funds, the BofA Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of its Board and certain special consulting and compliance measures. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the BofA Group (or predecessor or affiliated entities) agreed, among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money penalties; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; and maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures.

Board Consideration and Re-Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)
Even though the following description of the Board's consideration of the investment advisory agreement covers multiple funds, for purposes of this shareholder report, the description is only relevant as to the Fund.
The Board of Trustees (the "Board") of BofA Funds Series Trust (the "Trust"), including a majority of the Trustees who have no direct or indirect interest in the Trust's investment advisory agreement and are not "interested persons" of the Trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") (the "Independent Trustees"), are required annually to review and re-approve the existing investment advisory agreement. Consistent with this requirement, the Board reviewed and re-approved, during the most recent six months covered by this report, the investment advisory agreement with BofA Advisors, LLC ("BoAA") and the Trust, on behalf of BofA California Tax-Exempt Reserves, BofA Cash Reserves, BofA Connecticut Municipal Reserves, BofA Government Plus Reserves, BofA Government Reserves, BofA Massachusetts Municipal Reserves, BofA Money Market Reserves, BofA Municipal Reserves, BofA New York Tax-Exempt Reserves, BofA Tax-Exempt Reserves and BofA Treasury Reserves. The Trust's investment advisory agreement with BoAA is referred to as the "Advisory Agreement." The funds identified above are each referred to individually as a "Fund" and collectively referred to as the "Funds."
More specifically, at a meeting held on December 8-10, 2013, the Board, including the Independent Trustees advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of BoAA and the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement. The Board also reviewed and considered a report prepared and provided by an independent fee consultant (the "Fee Consultant") appointed by the Independent Trustees. The Fee Consultant's role was to manage, and provide input regarding, the process by which the investment advisory fees payable by the Funds under the Advisory Agreement are negotiated. The Fee Consultant found that the Board had the relevant information necessary to evaluate the reasonableness of the proposed management fees for each Fund and that the fee negotiation process was, to the extent practicable, at arms' length and reasonable. A summary of the Fee Consultant's report is available at http://www.bofacapital.com.
In preparation for the December meeting, the Board met in October 2013 to review and discuss the materials described below. The Board also received performance and other reports at its quarterly meetings, and the Board's Contracts Review Committee met on multiple occasions prior to the October meeting to assist the Board in preparation for the Board's consideration of the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement. BoAA's responses to a detailed series of requests submitted by the Fee Consultant and the Independent Trustees' independent legal counsel on the Board's behalf also were presented to the Board. All of these submissions and reports were considered by the Board in the context of, among other things, the recent history of money market funds and the investments available to such funds, as well as possible changes in markets and the regulatory scheme in which such funds operate. The Board's review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to it and are not the result of any single controlling factor. The Board evaluated all information available to it on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and its determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreement by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from BoAA.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board received and considered various data and information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by BoAA under the Advisory Agreement. BoAA's most recent form registering it as an investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission was also made available to the Board. The Board reviewed and analyzed those materials, which included, among other things, information about the background and experience of senior management and investment personnel of BoAA.
In addition, the Board considered the investment and compliance programs of the Funds and BoAA, including reports of the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer as well as periodic reports from an Independent Compliance Consultant. In this connection, the Board considered information regarding BoAA's ongoing monitoring and risk management oversight activities, including BoAA's "stress testing" initiatives that were presented to the Board on a quarterly basis throughout the year.
25
The Board evaluated the ability of BoAA and certain of its affiliates, based on their resources, reputation and other attributes, to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. In this regard, the Board considered information regarding the nature of BoAA's compensation structure applicable to portfolio managers and other key investment personnel. In addition, the Board took into account the administrative services provided to the Funds by BoAA, including BoAA's oversight of third party service providers.
Based on the above factors, together with those referenced below, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to each of the Funds by BoAA.
Investment Advisory Fee Rates and Other Expenses. The Board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual investment advisory fee rates both separately and together with the administration fee rates payable by the Funds (the "Contractual Management Fee Rates"). In addition, the Board reviewed the proposed fee waiver/cap arrangements applicable to the Contractual Management Fee Rates and considered the Contractual Management Fee Rates after taking the proposed waivers/caps into account (the "Actual Management Fee Rates"). The Board also noted that the Fund's distributor, BofA Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), had voluntarily undertaken to reimburse certain class-specific Fund expenses (consisting of shareholder servicing, distribution and shareholder administration fees, as applicable) to the extent necessary to maintain a minimum annualized net yield of 0.01% for all classes of the Fund. In addition, the Board noted that BoAA had voluntarily undertaken to reimburse certain Fund expenses (consisting of advisory and administration fees) to the extent necessary to maintain such yields in the event the Distributor's reimbursement of class-specific Fund expenses is not sufficient to maintain the minimum annualized net yields described above. The Board noted that these undertakings, as well as other applicable voluntary waivers and expense caps for certain Funds, were voluntary and could be modified or discontinued by the Distributor and/or BoAA at any time.
The Board reviewed and considered statistical information regarding each Fund's total expense ratio and its various components, including contractual advisory fees, actual
advisory fees, administration fees, actual non-management fees, Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder servicing and administration fees, fee waivers/caps and/or expense reimbursements. The Board also reviewed comparisons of these fees to the expense information for the group of funds determined to be most similar to a given Fund (the "Peer Group") and to a broader universe of relevant funds (the "Universe"). Lipper Inc., an independent provider of investment company data, selected the funds in each Fund's Universe based on the subsets of the iMoneyNet category peers, which include mutual funds that are viewed by BoAA as direct competitor peers to the Funds in the institutional market and share similar distribution platforms, expense structures and investment objectives. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used to select the mutual funds in each Fund's Peer Group(s) and Universe. Additional comparisons and other data also were prepared by, or at the direction of, the Fee Consultant, which the Board considered during its deliberations.
The Board considered the Contractual and Actual Management Fee Rates and total expense ratio of each Fund on a Fund-by-Fund basis. In this regard, the Board received information comparing each Fund's total expense ratio, Contractual Management Fee Rate and Actual Management Fee Rate to its Peer Group and assigning a quintile ranking for each such category. For example, a Fund that ranked in the first quintile for total expense ratio had a lower expense ratio than at least 80% of the funds in its Peer Group. Where a Fund's total expense ratio, Contractual Management Fee Rate and/or Actual Management Fee Rate was above the median range of its Peer Group (meaning that it ranked in the fourth or fifth quintile), the Board noted other applicable factors described below. In this connection, with respect to BofA Treasury Reserves, the Board noted that the Fund's Contractual Management Fee Rate was above the median range of its Peer Group.
The Board generally noted other applicable factors, including, among others, competitive investment performance, the quality of administrative and/or shareholder services, the Fund's total expense ratios for other classes, the Fund's expense cap and waiver arrangements and/or comparisons to subsets of funds and institutional account fees in considering the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement.
26
Fund Performance. The Board considered the investment performance results for each of the Funds over multiple measurement periods. It also considered these results in comparison to the performance results of each Fund's Universe. In addition, the Board considered information regarding how BoAA and its affiliates analyze and manage potential risks to the Funds, including BoAA's credit review process and the nature of the Funds' investments.
In considering the investment performance of each Fund, the Board compared the net return investment performance of representative classes of each Fund to its Universe, which included funds with similar pricing structures and Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board received information showing that specific classes of certain Funds generally outperformed their peers in the more recent periods, while certain other classes underperformed their peers in the more recent periods. In particular, the Board noted that the net return investment performance of certain classes of BofA Treasury Reserves was below the median range of such Fund's Universe (meaning that the Fund's performance ranked in the fourth or fifth quintile relative to its Universe) over certain recent periods.
Where net return investment performance of a class of a particular Fund was below the median range of the Fund's Universe, the Board, in considering the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement for such Fund, generally noted other applicable factors, including, among others, stronger relative net return performance of other classes or over other periods, the relatively tight dispersion of performance data within a particular Universe, the Fund's Actual Management Fee Rate, Contractual Management Fee Rate and/or total expense ratio, the Fund's expense cap and waiver arrangements, the composition and share classes used in the comparisons and BoAA's emphasis on liquidity and capital preservation, as well as its organizational strength and capacity and its history with the Funds.
Profitability. The Board received and considered a detailed profitability analysis of BoAA based on the Contractual Management Fee Rates and the Actual Management Fee Rates, as well as on other relationships between the Funds and BoAA affiliates. The analysis included complex-wide and per-Fund information and was derived from allocation methodologies estimating certain expenses of the Funds. The
Board also reviewed information compiled by Lipper comparing profitability information for BoAA to other management companies for which information was publicly available. After reviewing such materials in detail, the Board did not deem the profits and other ancillary benefits that BoAA and its affiliates received from providing these services to be unreasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Board received and considered information regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Funds, whether the Funds have appropriately benefited from any economies of scale and whether there is potential for realization of further economies of scale. The Board also considered information from management regarding potential sources of economies of scale and the impact of decreases in overall Fund assets and the current yield environment on BoAA's ability to realize and share economies of scale. The Board concluded that any potential economies of scale are shared fairly with Fund shareholders, most particularly through breakpoints, fee waiver arrangements and further investments by BoAA relating to services provided to the Funds.
Information About Services to Other BoAA Clients. The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services and fee rates offered by BoAA to its other clients, including institutional investors, unregistered and offshore funds and clients for which BoAA serves as a sub-advisor. In this regard, the Board concluded that, where the Contractual Management Fee Rates and Actual Management Fee Rates were appreciably above the range of the fee rates charged to other BoAA clients, based on information provided by BoAA, the additional services provided, costs and risks associated with sponsoring, managing and operating the Funds provided a justification for the higher fee rates charged to the Funds.
Other Benefits to BoAA. The Board received and considered information regarding potential "fall-out" or ancillary benefits that could be received by BoAA and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. Such benefits include, among others, benefits attributable to BoAA's relationship with the Funds (such as benefits realized by an affiliated broker) and benefits potentially derived from an increase in BoAA's business as a result of its relationship
27
with the Funds (such as the ability to market to shareholders other financial products offered by BoAA and its affiliates).
The Board did not deem such benefits to be unreasonable.
Other Factors and Broader Review. As discussed above, the Board reviewed materials received from BoAA during the re-approval process under Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act. The Board also reviewed and assessed the quality of the services the Funds received from BoAA and its affiliates throughout the year, including in light of regulatory and market developments impacting money market funds. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of BoAA at each of the quarterly meetings and, as necessary, more frequently, which included, among other things, investment performance reports and reports comparing the Funds to certain competitors. In addition, the Board conferred with the Funds' investment personnel at various times throughout the year.
Conclusion. After an evaluation of the above-described factors, and based on its deliberations and analysis of the information provided and alternatives considered, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the compensation payable to BoAA under the Advisory Agreement is fair and equitable. Accordingly, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously re-approved the Advisory Agreement.
