- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What You Should Know: Fixed-income securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk; their value generally rises when prevailing interest rates fall and falls when rates rise. This fund may invest in lower-rated bonds with higher yields and increased risks; securities subject to prepayment risk; and foreign market securities with special risks. Management Discussion - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At their meeting last fall, the Federal Reserve Board paused in its series of rate hikes, leaving short-term interests rates unchanged during the six months ended March 31, 2007. Although the U.S. economic expansion moved forward at a slower pace than in previous months, corporate profits remained healthy. This, coupled with investor demand for high income, has had a positive impact on prices of high-yielding domestic bonds. Security selection within this sector was principally responsible for Loomis Sayles Core Plus Bond Fund's out-performance during the fiscal period. Based on the net asset value of its Class A shares and $0.27 in reinvested dividends, the fund's total return was 3.51%. This compared favorably with the 2.76% return on the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index, and the average return on the funds in its Morningstar Intermediate-Term Bond category, which was also 2.76%. The fund's 30-day SEC yield on March 31, 2007 was 3.95%. BEST RESULTS CAME FROM DOMESTIC HIGH-YIELD AND NON-DOLLAR ISSUES Most sectors of the U.S. fixed-income market performed well during the period. The fund had approximately 10% of its assets in high-yielding, domestic issues, with substantial holdings in U.S. investment-grade bonds. The fund's portfolio also includes securities backed by mortgages and other assets and U.S. government agencies, as well as international and emerging-market securities. (The benchmark has no foreign holdings.) We built up the fund's non-dollar allocation modestly during the period, reflecting economic optimism in the Asian region. A correction in the richly valued Chinese stock market led to a spike in volatility, and the fund's holdings in mortgage-backed securities were a slight drag on performance near the end of the period, reflecting concerns over subprime lending. However, this volatility proved to be short-lived. Issues backed by commercial mortgages performed relatively well, as profit risk on commercial space was low, but our underweight position in these securities compared to the benchmark trimmed the fund's performance lead in other markets. SECURITY SELECTION, EMPHASIS ON NON-CYCLICALS HELPED, JAPANESE CURRENCY HURT Security selection played a key role during the period, as did the fund's relatively long duration relative to the benchmark. Some holdings rose in value on speculation that they might be upgraded. Domestic bonds backed by consumer non-cyclical companies - those whose businesses tend to be less sensitive to the economic cycle - also benefited results. But bonds denominated in the Japanese yen lagged as the currency came under pressure early in the period. Investors had borrowed in the low-yielding yen and invested the proceeds in higher-yielding currencies. However, interest rates rose in Japan, undercutting the yield advantage sought in this "carry trade" strategy. The yen subsequently recovered and we increased portfolio weightings in Japan and other Asian economies that appear favorably positioned. OUTLOOK IS FOR CONTINUED FAVORABLE CONDITIONS We believe the current economic sluggishness in the United States may represent a pause before activity picks up later in 2007, although we expect the pace to be more moderate. We are maintaining the portfolio's overall high quality profile because we believe prospects for gains have diminished among lower quality tiers, where many issues appear to be overvalued, in our opinion. Accordingly, we pared back our emphasis on high-yielding corporate bonds because we think there is now limited potential for further appreciation. Moreover, the fund's duration is currently longer than the benchmark, making it more susceptible to interest-rate shifts. Our current strategy is intended to position the fund advantageously if the economy slows down for a time, causing interest rates to fall and bond prices to rise. If this occurs, it would reduce inflationary pressures and make the Fed less inclined to raise short-term interest rates again. 1 LOOMIS SAYLES CORE PLUS BOND FUND Investment Results through March 31, 2007 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PERFORMANCE IN PERSPECTIVE The charts comparing the fund's performance to an index provide you with a general sense of how it performed. The fund's total return for the period shown below appears with and without sales charges and includes fund expenses and fees. An index measures the performance of a theoretical portfolio. Unlike a fund, the index is unmanaged and does not have expenses that affect the results. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Investors would incur transaction costs and other expenses if they purchased the securities necessary to match the index.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What You Should Know: Fixed-income securities are subject to credit risk and interest-rate risk; their value generally rises when prevailing interest rates fall and falls when rates rise. This fund emphasizes lower-rated, high-yield bonds that may involve extra risks. It also invests in foreign securities which have special risks, including political, economic, regulatory and currency risks. Management Discussion - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Higher-risk, higher-yielding bonds started Loomis Sayles High Income Fund's fiscal year on a strong note, amid steady economic growth. By early February, investor demand for higher income and their comfort level with risk had driven up prices on high-yielding corporate bonds, narrowing the "spread" - the yield advantage these bonds have over U.S. Treasuries - to their tightest levels in years. However, a sharp drop in China's stock market in February drew nervous equity investors to the safer haven of high-quality U.S. Treasury securities. Spreads widened out again, ending March at about the same levels that prevailed at the beginning of January, 2007. Meanwhile, concern over the weak U.S. housing market and softening business spending added to investors' caution, which increased selling pressure on long-term bonds. The yield curve, a graphic representation of the difference in yield between short- and long-term bonds, widened. For the six months ended March 31, 2007, the fund's total return was 7.55%, based on the net asset value of Class A shares and $0.20 in reinvested dividends. The fund's return surpassed both its benchmark, the Lehman High Yield Composite Index, which returned 6.95% for the period, and the 6.77% average return on Morningstar's High Yield Bond category. As of March 31, 2007, the fund's SEC yield was 5.45%. STRATEGY REFLECTED INVESTORS' RISK TOLERANCE For the period as a whole, higher-yielding securities outperformed the market. As corporate earnings improved, investors became less worried about potential defaults. The supply of new bonds coming to market also dried up. Among the fund's domestic high-yield bonds, careful research led to strong contributions from select industrial and utility holdings. Lower-quality bonds within the CCC and BBB rating categories also aided fund returns, but prices of longer-maturity CCC issues, which are below investment grade, suffered when interest rates on higher-quality bonds rose late in the period. The fund's relatively small position in high-quality, A-rated bonds also trimmed the fund's lead late in the period. The portfolio's duration, or price sensitivity to interest rate changes, was longer than that of the benchmark, and changed relatively little during the six-month period. Although this relatively aggressive stance hurt results when interest rates rose, we are comfortable with the fund's positioning and are researching additional opportunities in longer-maturity bonds. NON-U.S.-DOLLAR COMMITMENTS PLAYED A KEY ROLE Successful security selection brought favorable returns on bonds denominated in several foreign currencies. Emerging market economies continued to thrive on strong global demand for commodities and reductions in their overall indebtedness. Holdings in the Brazilian real, Thai baht, Mexican peso and Malaysian ringgit benefited returns. However, bonds denominated in weaker currencies, including those of Indonesia, South Korea and Russia, held back results for the fiscal period. Holdings in the Japanese yen also weakened when interest rates in Japan rose, obliging investors to repay money they had borrowed earlier when rates were low. Disappointing sectors included telecommunications companies and some government-linked issues. OUTLOOK IS FOR MODERATE GROWTH We believe the recent slowing in the U.S. economy constitutes a pause, which should be followed by continued growth in the economy and corporate profits, although at a slower pace than before. This scenario might ease inflationary pressures, a development that would reduce pressure on the Fed to resume raising rates. Worsening conditions in the housing market could disturb other areas of the economy and could even prompt the Fed to cut short-term interest rates, although we think this is unlikely. Caution among lending institutions following recent mortgage defaults might also squeeze credit availability and cast doubt on the economic re-acceleration that we anticipate. With valuations of some high-yield securities still very high, in our opinion, return expectations seem modest. However, we believe our research-intensive approach, global reach and flexibility to make tactical adjustments may add to returns in the months ahead. 3 LOOMIS SAYLES HIGH INCOME FUND Investment Results through March 31, 2007 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PERFORMANCE IN PERSPECTIVE The charts comparing the fund's performance to an index provide you with a general sense of how it performed.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What You Should Know: Fixed-income securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk; their value generally rises when prevailing interest rates fall and falls when rates rise. Securities issued by the U.S. government are guaranteed by the U.S. government if held to maturity; mutual funds that invest in these securities are not guaranteed. Securities issued by U.S. government agencies may not be government guaranteed. Management Discussion - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After raising the federal funds rate (the interest rate banks charge one another for overnight loans) repeatedly last year, the Federal Reserve Board has left rates unchanged since its meetings last fall, resulting in a period of relative calm for bond prices. Loomis Sayles Limited Term Government and Agency Fund's total return for the six months ended March 31, 2007 was 2.36% based on the net asset value of Class A shares and $0.24 in reinvested dividends. The fund's benchmark, the Lehman 1-5 Year Government Bond Index returned 2.45%, while the average return on Morningstar's Short Government category was 2.25%. The fund's 30-day SEC yield was 3.90% as of March 31, 2007. HIGHER-YIELDING SECURITIES PROVIDE A PERFORMANCE EDGE Its emphasis on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities helped keep the fund in the upper half of its Morningstar category, which is composed of comparable funds tracked by this mutual fund research company. The fund's results also put it within a few percentage points of its Lehman benchmark, an unmanaged list of government bonds maturing in 1-5 years. As they were last year, U.S. Treasury securities were among the weaker performers during the fiscal period ended March 31, 2007, largely because these top-quality securities have lower yields than mortgage-backed securities, reflecting their lower risk levels. Although there were periods during the past 18 months when investors chose safety and liquidity over yield, higher income has continued to provide a performance edge. Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) provided a significant yield advantage compared to other alternatives in the intermediate government bond sector. The relatively calm interest-rate environment reduced investors' desire to refinance mortgages, which sometimes makes this market volatile. The fund also benefited from its emphasis on asset-backed securities (ABS), which are backed by loans or accounts receivable originated by banks or credit card companies. As was true during the previous fiscal period, the fund's holdings in U.S. Treasury securities were among its weakest holdings. Although they generated positive returns, investor demand for Treasury securities was weak relative to other, higher-yielding issues, which made them unable to keep pace. CURRENT STRATEGY REFLECTS OUTLOOK FOR RELATIVE CALM AHEAD We modestly reduced the fund's holdings in what are called "agency MBS" - mortgage-backed securities issued by government-sponsored entities - although this remains the fund's most heavily weighted sector. At the same time, we added to the fund's holdings in AAA-rated non-government-sponsored agency MBS and ABS securities. Even though the non-agency securities represented in the fund's portfolio are AAA-rated, they are slightly lower in quality, and slightly higher in yield, than comparable instruments backed by the U.S. government. We also gradually increased the portfolio's duration, beginning in the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year. A somewhat longer overall maturity allowed the fund to benefit from declining interest rates. However, since then the fund's duration has been similar to that of its benchmark, which is considered a neutral strategy - neither bullish nor bearish. Currently, we are not anticipating any major changes in interest rates, and we do not regard any specific sector of the market as undervalued. Consequently, our focus is on finding opportunities to add income to the portfolio. In the relatively stable interest-rate environment we see ahead, we expect the fund's MBS holdings, with their income advantage over Treasury securities, to be the greatest contributors to the fund's total return. 5 LOOMIS SAYLES LIMITED TERM GOVERNMENT AND AGENCY FUND Investment Results through March 31, 2007 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PERFORMANCE IN PERSPECTIVE The charts comparing the fund's performance to an index provide you with a general sense of how it performed.

Strom Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Symbols: Class A NEFMX Class B NEMBX
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What You Should Know: Fixed-income securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk; their value generally rises when prevailing interest rates fall and falls when rates rise. This fund concentrates in a single geographic region, which can affect your fund's performance. Some income may be subject to federal and state taxes. Realized capital gains are fully taxable. Some investors may be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Lower-rated bonds entail higher risks. Management Discussion - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Municipal bond prices declined somewhat during the closing quarter of 2006. This, combined with an above-average supply of new issues over the past four months, caused the municipal market to under-perform investor expectations for the six months ended March 31, 2007. Long-term municipal bonds were hardest hit, and since this is a long-term fund, its performance was disappointing, especially in light of the positive results it achieved previously. For the six months ended March 31, 2007, the total return on Loomis Sayles Massachusetts Tax Free Income Fund was 1.58% based on the net asset value of Class A shares and $0.32 per share in reinvested dividends. The fund's results were slightly above the 1.42% average return on Morningstar's Muni Massachusetts category, but slightly behind the 1.93% return on the fund's nationally diversified benchmark, the Lehman Municipal Bond Index. The fund's 30-day SEC yield at the end of March was 3.59%, equivalent to a taxable yield of 5.82%, adjusted for the combined maximum federal and Massachusetts income tax rates of 38.45%. HIGHER-YIELDS CONTINUE TO HOLD INVESTORS' ATTENTION Revenue bonds issued for higher education and healthcare institutions contributed the most to performance. The higher yields available from these two sectors gave the fund a slight performance edge over its competitors. However, revenue bonds issued for leasing and transportation companies were the weakest contributors to performance during the period, largely because the fund was underweight in these sectors versus the benchmark. Relative to other states, Massachusetts bonds performed well, primarily because demand for the bonds has been steady, while the state has issued fewer of them. To partially offset the dearth of supply in Massachusetts and broaden the fund's diversification, we invested a small portion of assets in other states. We have held a small position in New Jersey bonds for the past two years. Unfortunately, these provided lackluster performance during the period, since the New Jersey bonds in the portfolio were mostly intermediate-term - an area of the market that has been less in demand lately. However, the fund continues to benefit from its investments in municipal bonds issued in Puerto Rico. This position not only provided additional portfolio diversification, the interest these bonds pays is not taxable to U.S. investors at either the federal or state level. Because of their above-average coupon income, higher-yielding, lower-quality bonds were in demand during the period. However, municipal bonds with longer maturities - which had been strong - experienced less demand due to the above-average supply of new issues. PORTFOLIO STRATEGY REMAINED STEADY Our strategy remained essentially unchanged during the period. The fund's duration (its price sensitivity to changing interest rates) remained stable at just under seven years, while maturity edged out only slightly. Our strategy is neither defensive nor aggressive, reflecting our market outlook, which is for interest rates to continue to fluctuate within a fairly narrow range for the next few months. Overall, we look for municipal credit quality trends to remain stable or improve slightly as the economy continues to grow at a slow, sustainable rate with low inflation prospects. Long-term, we expect municipal bonds to hold their own or slightly under-perform the taxable markets, as investors continue to seek the relative safety and tax-exempt features of this market. Nervousness over economic headlines may lead to bouts of volatility for interest rates generally, but we do not anticipate any sustained move as long as economic and financial conditions remain favorable. 7 LOOMIS SAYLES MASSACHUSETTS TAX FREE INCOME FUND Investment Results through March 31, 2007 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PERFORMANCE IN PERSPECTIVE The charts comparing the fund's performance to an index provide you with a general sense of how it performed. The fund's total return for the period shown below appears with and without sales charges and includes fund expenses and fees. An index measures the performance of a theoretical portfolio.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What You Should Know: Fixed-income securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk; their value generally rises when prevailing interest rates fall and falls when rates rise. Some income may be subject to federal and state taxes. Realized capital gains are fully taxable. Some investors may be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Lower-rated bonds entail higher risks. Management Discussion - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last fall the Federal Reserve Board paused in its efforts to rein in the economy by raising short-term interest rates, but the municipal bond markets remained volatile. Municipals outperformed Treasuries in the closing three months of 2006, and a record pace of new issuance in the opening months of 2007 was generally well absorbed by investors. However, municipal securities generally, and the long-term municipals that are the focus of this fund in particular, under-performed expectations for the fiscal period. For the six months ended March 31, 2007, the total return on Loomis Sayles Municipal Income Fund was 1.63%, based on the net asset value of Class A shares, $0.14 in reinvested dividends, and $0.03 in reinvested capital gains. The fund's results were slightly below the 1.93% return on the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Municipal Bond Index, and equal to the 1.63% average return on Morningstar's Muni National Long category. The fund's 30-day SEC yield at the end of March was 3.56%, equivalent to a taxable yield of 5.47% based on the maximum Federal income tax rate of 35.00%. MARKET STILL FAVORS HIGHER-YIELDING BONDS Investors seeking high income helped drive up prices of municipal bonds issued for healthcare facilities and utilities outperform other types of municipal bonds. Healthcare and utility bonds tend to offer higher yields than bonds with higher credit ratings. In general, the fund's best performers were those in the BBB range - the lowest rung in the investment-grade ladder. They remain in high demand and we continue to hold them. Transportation and water and sewer bonds also performed well, but the fund was underweight in these sectors relative to the benchmark. Although demand for higher-quality, lower-yielding bonds has been relatively weak, we also continue to hold a portion of assets in these securities because we believe prices of many high-yield bonds may currently be overvalued. From a geographical perspective, New York and Michigan were the best contributors. New York state municipal bonds were in demand because of their higher yields, and many of our high-yielding Michigan holdings were issued on behalf of healthcare companies. Total returns on municipal bonds issued in Pennsylvania and Texas underperformed expectations because supply exceeded demand. FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY IS SLIGHTLY LESS DEFENSIVE Longer-term bonds have under-performed shorter bonds recently, as investors focused on relative safety and lower price volatility. This may make some long-term municipal bonds more attractive from a valuation standpoint. We have extended duration modestly. Duration is a measure of a bond's price sensitivity to changing interest rates; a long duration is bullish, a short one is defensive. Going forward, we will look for opportunities to buy on weakness and gradually lengthen the portfolio to enhance current income. OUTLOOK IS FOR RELATIVELY MINOR CHANGES IN BOND RETURNS Currently we expect bond yields to fluctuate close to their current range, and we are not looking for major changes in the yield curve. We will continue to add to the fund's higher-yielding securities as opportunities present themselves. Long-term, we believe the municipal yield curve should remain stable, with relatively minor differences between long- and short-term rates, although the curve in the municipal market is significantly steeper than in the Treasury market. Overall, we look for municipal credit quality trends to remain stable or improve slightly as the economy continues to grow at a slow, sustainable rate with low inflation prospects. Long-term, we expect municipal bonds to hold their own or slightly under-perform the taxable markets as investors continue to be drawn to the relative safety and tax-exempt features of this market. Nervousness over economic headlines may lead to bouts of volatility for interest rates generally, but we do not anticipate any sustained move as long as economic and financial conditions remain favorable. 9 LOOMIS SAYLES MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND Investment Results through March 31, 2007 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PERFORMANCE IN PERSPECTIVE The charts comparing the fund's performance to an index provide you with a general sense of how it performed. The fund's total return for the period shown below appears with and without sales charges and includes fund expenses and fees. An index measures the performance of a theoretical portfolio.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What You Should Know: Fixed-income securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk; their value generally rises when prevailing interest rates fall and falls when rates rise. Foreign and emerging market securities have special risks, such as currency fluctuations, differing political and economic conditions, and different accounting standards. The fund may also invest in lower-rated bonds that may offer higher yields in return for more risk. Management Discussion - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Higher-risk, higher-yielding bonds began Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund's fiscal year on a strong note, amid steady economic expansion fueled by growing corporate profits. By February, investor demand for higher income, and their comfort level with risk early in the period, had driven up prices on high-yielding corporate bonds, narrowing the spread - the yield advantage lower-quality bonds have over U.S. Treasuries - to its narrowest level in years. However, early in February a sharp drop in China's stock market caused nervous equity investors to seek the safer haven of high-quality U.S. Treasury securities. Spreads widened out again and ended March 2007 little changed from their levels at the beginning of January. Meanwhile, heightened concern over the weak U.S. housing market and softening business spending prompted many investors to sell their riskier, long-term bonds. The yield curve, a graphic representation of the difference in yield between short- and long-term bonds, widened. For the six months ended March 31, 2007, the fund provided a total return of 4.87%, based on the net asset value of Class A shares and $0.41 in reinvested dividends. These results outdistanced the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 2.76% for the period. (Bear in mind that the fund has a broader reach and greater flexibility than the index.) The fund also outperformed the 4.49% average return on the funds in Morningstar's Multisector Bond Category. Its 30-day SEC yield was 5.11% on March 31, 2007. STRATEGY TRACKED INVESTORS' RISK ACCEPTANCE Successful security selection and its exposure to stronger markets were the primary drivers of the fund's results. Early in the period investors favored riskier sectors, including emerging markets, where favorable economic conditions brightened expectations. Later in the period we raised the portfolio's credit quality, so that, by the end of March, investment-grade issues accounted for nearly 70% of the fund's assets. Non-U.S. dollar issues were standouts. Our slightly longer duration relative to the fund's benchmark was a modest negative when interest rates rose and bond prices retreated. Duration is a measure of a portfolio's sensitivity to changes in interest rates. A longer duration is more aggressive; a shorter duration is defensive. STRONG CURRENCIES AND SECTORS BOOSTED RESULTS About a third of the fund is invested in bonds denominated in currencies outside the United States, and these were our best performers, with the exception of Canadian-dollar issues. Investments in strong currencies, as well as both high-yield and investment-grade issues, drove the fund's superior results. Strength in Brazil's real, the Mexican peso and the New Zealand dollar enhanced returns. Results were also positive among high-yield utility bonds and convertible issues. Careful research led to favorable returns among sovereigns (debt securities backed by foreign governments), as well as bonds issued by some consumer companies and firms engaged in telecommunications, media and technology. OUTLOOK IS FOR RENEWED MOMENTUM We believe the current economic slowdown signals a pause in the economic expansion, but not an end. We expect growth to resume later in the year, favoring corporate issues. The current period of slackening activity could cool inflationary fires, however, and lessen pressure on the Federal Reserve Board to resume raising short-term rates. We also believe the housing slump may ease in coming months, although a protracted or steepening slowdown could have wider effects and lead to rate cuts. Lenders are also being more cautious in the wake of controversies surrounding subprime lending, and any squeeze on credit could jeopardize the economic re-acceleration that we anticipate. Valuations on high-yield issues appear to be stretched, in our opinion, and volatility could return to this market. But economic conditions still favor the sector, and we believe careful research should enhance returns. We are also finding attractive valuations among mortgage-backed issues, although we are mindful of the risks to this sector if subprime turbulence intensifies. 11 LOOMIS SAYLES STRATEGIC INCOME FUND Investment Results through March 31, 2007 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PERFORMANCE IN PERSPECTIVE The charts comparing the fund's performance to an index provide you with a general sense of how it performed.

The funds' Forms N-Q are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330. NOT FDIC INSURED MAY LOSE VALUE NO BANK GUARANTEE 13 UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different costs: transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, redemption fees and certain exchange fees and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. In addition, each fund assesses a minimum balance fee of $20 on an annual basis for accounts that fall below the required minimum to establish an account. Certain exemptions may apply. These costs are described in more detail in the funds' prospectus. The examples below are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the funds and help you compare these with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The first line in the table of each Class of fund shares shows the actual account values and actual fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the fund from October 1, 2006 through March 31, 2007. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the number in the Expenses Paid During Period column as shown below for your Class. The second line in the table of each Class of fund shares provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund's actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid on your investment for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown reflect ongoing costs only, and do not include any transaction costs such as sales charges, redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line in the table of each fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, total costs would be higher.

Prior to September 1, 2003, the predecessor Fund was advised by CDC IXIS Asset Management Advisers, L.P. and subadvised by Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (the Fund's current adviser) and, prior to September 12, 2003, had a December 31 fiscal year end. The Fund's current fiscal year end is September 30. 54 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2007 (Unaudited) 1. Organization. IXIS Advisor Funds Trust I, IXIS Advisor Funds Trust II and Loomis Sayles Funds II (the "Trusts" and each a "Trust") are each organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Each Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company. Each Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of the Trust in multiple series. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to certain fixed income funds of the Trusts; the financial statements for the other funds of the Trusts are presented in separate reports. The following funds (individually, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") are included in this report: IXIS Advisor Funds Trust I: Loomis Sayles Core Plus Bond Fund (the "Core Plus Bond Fund") IXIS Advisor Funds Trust II: Loomis Sayles Massachusetts Tax Free Income Fund (the "Massachusetts Tax Free Income Fund") Loomis Sayles Funds II: Loomis Sayles High Income Fund (the "High Income Fund") Loomis Sayles Limited Term Government and Agency Fund (the "Limited Term Government and Agency Fund") Loomis Sayles Municipal Income Fund (the "Municipal Income Fund") Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund (the "Strategic Income Fund") Core Plus Bond Fund, Limited Term Government and Agency Fund and Strategic Income Fund each offer Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares. High Income Fund offers Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Massachusetts Tax Free Income Fund and Municipal Income Fund each offer Class A and Class B shares. Class A shares of all Funds except Limited Term Government and Agency Fund and Massachusetts Tax Free Income Fund are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50%. Class A shares of Limited Term Government and Agency Fund are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.00% and Class A shares of Massachusetts Tax Free Income Fund are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.25%. Class B shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, but pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares for eight years (at which point they automatically convert to Class A shares), and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") if those shares are redeemed within six years of purchase. Class C shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, do not convert to any other Class of shares and pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares and may be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% if those shares are redeemed within one year. Class Y shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, a CDSC or Rule 12b-1 fees. They are generally intended for institutional investors with a minimum initial investment of $100,000, though some categories of investors are excepted from the minimum investment amount as outlined in the Fund's prospectus. Prior to March 16, 2007 the minimum initial investment for Class Y was $1,000,000. Most expenses of the Trusts can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a fund are generally apportioned based on the relative net assets of each of the funds in the Trusts. Expenses of a fund are borne pro rata by the holders of each Class of shares, except that each Class bears expenses unique to that Class (including the Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fees and transfer agent fees applicable to such class). In addition, each Class votes as a Class only with respect to its own Rule 12b-1 Plan. Shares of each Class would receive their pro rata share of the net assets of a fund if the fund were liquidated. The Trustees approve separate dividends from net investment income on each Class of shares. 2. Significant Accounting Policies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Funds' financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. a. Security Valuation. Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) are generally valued at market price on the basis of valuations furnished to the Funds by a pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional-size trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Equity securities, including closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such pricing services generally use the security's last sale price on the exchange or market where primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ market. Broker-dealer bid quotations may also be used to value debt and equity securities where a pricing service does not price a security or where a pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. In instances where broker-dealer bid quotations are not available, certain securities held by the Funds may be valued on the basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. The prices provided by the principal market makers may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds' investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day. 55 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) March 31, 2007 (Unaudited) Certain Funds may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Funds may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Funds calculate their net asset values. b. Security Transactions and Related Investment Income. Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld when applicable. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities has been determined on an identified cost basis. Investment income and non-class specific expenses are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative value of settled shares of each Class to the total for the Fund. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the total net assets of the Fund. c. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Since the values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, it is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of the investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds' books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Each Fund may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Each Fund (except Massachusetts Tax Free Income Fund and Municipal Income Fund) may purchase investments of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and securities of the U.S. government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and the risk of appropriation. Moreover, the markets for securities of many foreign issuers may be less liquid and the prices of such securities may be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government. d. Federal and Foreign Income Taxes. The Trusts treat each Fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax has been made. A Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income and gains on investments that are accrued based upon the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign governments may also impose taxes or other payments on investments with respect to foreign securities. Such taxes are accrued as applicable. e. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes of items such as paydowns on mortgage-backed securities, premium amortization and foreign currency transactions. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions, net investment income, and net realized gains will result in reclassifications to the capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees' fees, defaulted bond income accruals, premium amortization accruals, market discounts, capital loss carryforwards, post-October capital loss deferrals and wash sales. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be ordinary income for tax purposes. 56 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) March 31, 2007 (Unaudited) The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the year ended September 30, 2006 was as follows:
2006 Distributions Paid From: - ----------------------------- Exempt Ordinary Interest Fund Income Dividends Total ---- ------ --------- ----- Core Plus Bond Fund $ 11,734,713 $ -- $ 11,734,713 High Income Fund 2,585,838 -- 2,585,838 Limited Term Government and Agency Fund 5,637,489 -- 5,637,489 Massachusetts Tax Free Income Fund 19,311 2,905,815 2,925,126 Municipal Income Fund 52,251 3,794,093 3,846,344 Strategic Income Fund 163,441,295 -- 163,441,295
As of September 30, 2006, capital loss carryforwards and post - October losses were as follows:

f. Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing repurchase agreements. It is each Fund's policy that the market value of the collateral be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. The repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held at the custodian bank in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund's ability to dispose of the underlying securities. 57 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) March 31, 2007 (Unaudited) g. Securities Lending. The Funds have entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street Bank"), as agent of the Funds, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value of the loaned international or domestic securities, respectively, when the loan is initiated. Thereafter, the value of the collateral must remain at least 102% of the market value of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value of loaned securities for U.S. government securities, sovereign debt issued by non-U.S. governments and non-U.S. corporate debt. In the event that the market value of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Funds invest cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Funds and State Street Bank as lending agent. The market value of securities on loan to borrowers and the value of collateral held by the Funds with respect to such loans at March 31, 2007 were as follows:
Market Value of Value of Securities on Collateral Fund Loan Received ---- ---- -------- Core Plus Bond Fund $ 53,957,797 $ 55,198,804 High Income Fund 6,277,989 6,398,145 Limited Term Government and Agency Fund 28,399,989 28,938,786 Massachusetts Tax Free Income Fund -- -- Municipal Income Fund -- -- Strategic Income Fund 1,708,578,357 1,742,998,995
h. Delayed Delivery Commitments. Each Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. Collateral consisting of liquid securities or cash and cash equivalents is maintained in an amount at least equal to these commitments with the custodian. i. Indemnifications. Under the Trusts' organizational documents, their officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote. j. New Accounting Pronouncements. Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 ("FIN 48") was issued and became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Subsequent thereto, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") indicated that it would not object if a fund first adopts FIN 48 on the last business day of the first required financial reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Accordingly, Management is continuing to evaluate the impact the adoption of FIN 48 may have on the Funds' net assets and results of operations. In compliance with the recently issued SEC guidance the impact, if any, will be reflected in the Funds' semiannual financial statements as of March 31, 2008. In addition, in September, 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Funds' financial statements. 3. Purchases and Sales of Securities. For the six months ended March 31, 2007, purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments and including paydowns) were as follows:

61 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) March 31, 2007 (Unaudited) d. Commissions. The Funds have been informed that commissions (including CDSC) on Fund shares paid to IXIS Distributors by investors in shares of the Funds during the six months ended March 31, 2007 were as follows:
Fund Commission ---- ---------- Core Plus Bond Fund $ 44,311 High Income Fund 43,345 Limited Term Government and Agency Fund 39,155 Massachusetts Tax Free Income Fund 10,109 Municipal Income Fund 13,245 Strategic Income Fund 6,790,046
e. Trustee Fees and Expenses. Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of IXIS Advisors, IXIS Distributors, IXIS US Group, Loomis Sayles or their affiliates. The Chairperson of the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $200,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that she attends. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $55,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $6,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chairman receives an additional retainer fee at the annual rate of $10,000. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $4,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $2,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $5,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $2,500 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. These fees are allocated among the funds in the IXIS Advisor Funds Trusts and the Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts based on a formula that takes into account, among other factors, the relative net assets of each fund. Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with attendance at meetings. A deferred compensation plan (the "Plan") is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Each participating Trustee will receive an amount equal to the value that such deferred compensation would have been had it been invested in a designated fund or certain other funds of the IXIS Advisor Funds Trusts and the Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts on the normal payment date. Deferred amounts remain in the Funds until distributed in accordance with the Plan. f. Redemption Fees. Shareholders of Class A shares of Core Plus Bond Fund, High Income Fund and Strategic Income Fund and shareholders of Class Y shares of Core Plus Bond Fund and Strategic Income Fund are charged a 2% redemption fee if they redeem, including redeeming by exchange, Class A shares and Class Y shares within 60 days of their acquisition (including acquisition by exchange). The redemption fee is intended to offset the costs to the Funds of short-term trading, such as portfolio transaction and market impact costs associated with redemption activity and administrative costs associated with processing redemptions. The redemption fee is deducted from the shareholder's redemption or exchange proceeds and is paid to the Fund. The "first-in, first-out" (FIFO) method is used to determine the holding period of redeemed or exchanged shares, which means that if a shareholder acquired shares on different days, the shares acquired first will be redeemed or exchanged first for purposes of determining whether the redemption fee applies. A new holding period begins with each purchase or exchange. These fees are accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital and are presented on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. 5. Line of Credit. High Income Fund and Strategic Income Fund, together with certain other funds of IXIS Advisor Funds Trusts and Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, participate in a $75,000,000 committed line of credit provided by State Street Bank. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.09% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit. For the six months ended March 31, 2007, the Funds had no borrowings under this agreement. 6. Concentration of Credit. Massachusetts Tax Free Income Fund primarily invests in debt obligations issued by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and its political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities to obtain funds for various public purposes. The Fund is more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of Massachusetts municipal securities than is a comparable municipal bond fund that is not so concentrated. Uncertain economic and fiscal conditions may affect the ability of issuers of Massachusetts municipal securities to meet their financial obligations. 62 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) March 31, 2007 (Unaudited) 7.
