Not FDIC May Lose Value Insured No Bank Guarantee TO OUR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS______________________________________________________ COLUMBIA FUNDS DEAR SHAREHOLDER: We are pleased to let you know that FleetBoston Financial Corporation and Bank of America Corporation have merged, effective April 1, 2004. As a result of the merger, Columbia Management Group became part of the Bank of America family of companies. Looking ahead, we believe this merger will be a real benefit to our shareholders. Preserving and leveraging our strengths, the combined organization will deliver additional research, management, and product capabilities to you. There are no immediate changes planned for fund names, product lines, or customer service contacts. As always, we will provide you with updates at www.columbiafunds.com or through other communications, such as newsletters and shareholder reports. As you might know, on March 15, 2004, FleetBoston Financial announced an agreement in principle with the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the New York Attorney General to settle charges involving market timing in Columbia Management mutual funds. (Bank of America came to a similar settlement in principle at the same time.) The agreement will require the final approval of the SEC. This action reflects our full cooperation with the investigation and our strong wish to put this regrettable situation behind us. Columbia Management has taken and will continue to take steps to strengthen policies, procedures and oversight to curb frequent trading of Columbia fund shares. We also want you to know that your fund's Board of Directors has been energetic over the past year in strengthening its capacity to oversee the Columbia funds. Recently, the Board of Directors: o ELECTED AN INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR TO CHAIR THE TWELVE-PERSON BOARD. IN ADDITION, EACH COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD IS COMPRISED OF DIRECTORS WHO ARE COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT OF THE ADVISOR AND ITS AFFILIATES. o APPOINTED A CHIEF COMPLIANCE OFFICER OF THE COLUMBIA FUNDS, WHO REPORTS DIRECTLY TO EACH FUND'S AUDIT COMMITTEE. DIRECTORS WERE ALSO ASSIGNED TO FOUR SEPARATE INVESTMENT OVERSIGHT COMMITTEES, EACH BETTER ABLE TO MONITOR PERFORMANCE OF INDIVIDUAL FUNDS. o VOTED TO DOUBLE THE REQUIRED INVESTMENT BY EACH DIRECTOR IN THE COLUMBIA FUNDS -- TO FURTHER ALIGN THE INTERESTS OF THE DIRECTORS WITH THOSE OF OUR FUND SHAREHOLDERS. AT THE SAME TIME, NEW POLICIES WERE INSTITUTED REQUIRING ALL INVESTMENT PERSONNEL AND DIRECTORS TO HOLD THEIR COLUMBIA FUND SHARES FOR A MINIMUM OF ONE YEAR (UNLESS EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES WARRANT AN EXCEPTION TO BE GRANTED BY A BOARD DESIGNATED COMMITTEE). Both your fund's directors and Columbia Management are committed to serving the interests of our shareholders, and we will continue to work hard to help you achieve your financial goals. In the pages that follow, you'll find valuable information about the economic environment and the performance of 15 Columbia funds. The "Economic Update" provides an overview of the investing environment during the past six months. The individual fund reports feature commentary from fund managers, followed by financial statements for each fund. We hope that you will take time to read the reports of the funds you own and discuss them with your financial advisor if you have any questions. If you have any questions about your account, please feel free to call Columbia's shareholder services department at 800-345-6611. As always, thank you for choosing Columbia funds. It is a privilege to play a role in your financial future. Sincerely, /s/ Thomas C. Theobald /s/ J. Kevin Connaughton Thomas C. Theobald J.

[Illustration of 2 arrows pointing up] S&P 500 RUSSELL 3000 INDEX INDEX 14.59% 15.06% O PERFORMANCE IN THE FIXED-INCOME UNIVERSE WAS LED BY HIGH-YIELD BONDS. AS MEASURED BY THE MERRILL LYNCH US HIGH YIELD, CASH PAY ONLY INDEX, THIS SECTOR POSTED A RETURN MORE THAN PERCENTAGE POINTS HIGHER THAN THE RETURN FOR INVESTMENT-GRADE BONDS, AS MEASURED BY THE LEHMAN BROTHERS AGGREGATE BOND INDEX. [Illustration of 2 arrows pointing up] MERRILL LYNCH LEHMAN INDEX INDEX 10.32% 4.92% The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of 500 widely held, large capitalization US stocks. The Russell 3000 Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of the 3,000 largest US companies based on total market capitalizations. The Merrill Lynch US High Yield, Cash Pay Only Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of non-investment-grade corporate bonds. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is a market value-weighted index that tracks fixed-rate, publicly placed, dollar-denominated, and non-convertible investment grade debt issues. ECONOMIC UPDATE_________________________________________________________________ COLUMBIA FUNDS The US economy grew rapidly in the six-month reporting period that began September 1, 2003 and ended February 29, 2004. A combination of factors accounted for the economy's stronger growth in the first half of this reporting period. A sizeable package of tax cuts, implemented in 2003, gave disposable income a boost. Federal income taxes fell across all tax brackets. Many taxpayers received tax rebate checks late last summer, which helped prop up consumer spending throughout this reporting period. There are warning signs for 2004, however. Early in 2004, consumer confidence slipped. Unemployment claims rose. Even the housing market, which has been hot for years, showed signs of weakness. The business sector contributed to the economy's growth as industrial production rose over the past six months. Business spending--especially on technology-related items--showed strength as corporate profits rose. However, orders for durable goods declined in January, interrupting five consecutive months of gains. Computer and electronic equipment orders rose, but transportation equipment orders fell sharply. US STOCKS HEADED HIGHER The US stock market gained ground, but its rate of return slowed in the final month of the period as disappointing economic data gave investors pause. The S&P 500 Index returned 14.59% for this six-month period as all sectors of the market benefited from rising corporate profits. Defensive sectors, such as energy, materials and consumer staples were the strongest performers, as investors started to hedge their bets on the economy. Technology, which led the stock market rally in its early stage last year, pulled back during the period. INTERNATIONAL STOCK MARKETS REPORTED STRONG RETURNS A rebound in economic growth and a declining US dollar helped international stock markets post returns that were generally stronger than in the United States. The MSCI EAFE Index, a broad measure of performance of 21 developed equity markets in Europe, Australasia (which includes Australia and New Zealand) and the Far East, returned 25.22%. European stock markets responded to improving economic data and relatively low interest rates. Japan's economy continued to report steady but modest growth. Yet its stock market cooled after a run-up in the six months prior to this reporting period. Although the Chinese economy cooled somewhat in 2003, its stock market soared. The MSCI China Index returned 43.07%. BONDS DELIVER RESPECTABLE GAINS A growing economy continued to boost investor enthusiasm for high-yield bonds. The Merrill Lynch US High Yield, Cash Pay Only Index returned 10.32%. And as interest rates moved lower, other segments of the bond market delivered respectable gains. The yield on the benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond edged downward from 4.46% to 3.97% during the period. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a broad measure of investment-grade bond performance, returned 4.92%. However, money market fund yields remained below 1%, as the Fed kept short-term interest rates at their historical lows. 1 Sidebar: PERFORMANCE OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT 03/01/94 - 02/29/04 ($) SALES CHARGE WITHOUT WITH ----------------------------------- Class A 24,071 22,680 ----------------------------------- Class B 23,804 23,804 ----------------------------------- Class C 23,804 23,804 ----------------------------------- Class D 23,792 23,549 ----------------------------------- Class Z 24,187 n/a Performance data quoted represents past performance and current performance may be lower or higher.

In addition, the graph and table do not reflect a deduction of the taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 Index tracks the performance of 500 large-capitalization US stocks. Unlike the fund, indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Securities in the fund may not match those in an index. AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN AS OF 02/29/04 (%)

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum 5.75% charge for class A shares, the appropriate class B contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the holding period after purchase as follows: through first year - 5%, second year - 4%, third year - 3%, fourth year - 3%, fifth year - 2%, sixth year - 1%, and thereafter - 0%. Class C has a CDSC of 1% which is applicable for the first year only. Class D has a sales charge of 1% and also carries a CDSC of 1% that is applied to shares sold within the first year after they are purchased. Effective October 13, 2003, class D shares are closed to all new investors and new accounts. Existing class D shareholders will be able to make additional purchases at any time. In addition, the class D sales charge of 1% is waived after October 13, 2003. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the advisor or its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower. Classes A, B, and D (newer class shares) share performance information includes returns of the fund's class Z shares (the oldest existing fund class) for periods prior to the inception of the newer class shares. The returns for class C include the returns of class B prior to 10/13/03, the date on which class C was initially offered by the fund. The returns shown for class C also include the performance of class Z prior to the inception of class B (11/01/02). Class Z share returns are not restated to reflect any expense differential (e.g., Rule 12b-1 fees) between class Z shares and the newer class shares. Had the expense differential been reflected, the returns for the periods prior to the inception of classes A, B, C, and D would have been lower. 2 Sidebar: SUMMARY o FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD THAT ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2004, THE FUND'S CLASS A SHARES RETURNED 12.90% WITHOUT SALES CHARGE. o THE FUND'S RETURN WAS LESS THAN THE S&P 500 INDEX BUT SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN THE AVERAGE OF THE LIPPER LARGE CAP CORE FUNDS CATEGORY. o STRONG STOCK SELECTION IN HEALTH CARE, CONSUMER STAPLES AND TECHNOLOGY SECTORS HELPED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE.

This was less than the S&P 500 Index, which returned 14.59% over the same period. The fund's performance was slightly better than the average return of its peer group, the Lipper Large Cap Core Funds Category which gained 12.49%.1 The fund's above-average investment in industrials relative to the S&P 500 hurt performance when that sector lagged from late December through early February. The fund's above-index weight in consumer cyclical stocks also was a slight drag on performance. However, good stock selection in financials, consumer staples, technology and health care sectors helped overall returns. BULL MARKET STILL STRONG The stock market continued to rise during the period, powered by tax cuts, historically low interest rates and a global economic recovery. Rapid growth in China and India increased demand for industrial commodities, and the industrials sector rebounded early in the period. However, industrial and technology stocks began to lose steam late in the period. We viewed this as the beginning of a transition in investor sentiment, as signs of concern over how long the good times would last began to emerge. THE FUND WAS POSITIONED FOR A RECOVERING ECONOMY During the period the portfolio was positioned for a recovering economy, with higher allocations in economically-sensitive sectors such as industrials, information technology, basic materials and consumer cyclicals. Our decision to overweight these sectors relative to the S&P 500 Index produced mixed results. Our investments in basic materials stocks did well, while industrial and consumer cyclical stocks detracted from performance. Although industrial stocks 3M, Dover and General Electric all had positive returns for the period, they failed to keep pace with their industry peers and the S&P 500 Index. We significantly reduced our position in Dover during the period. In technology, where we focused on broadband, wireless information access and digital media, the fund benefited from good stock selection. Our positions in QUALCOMM and Broadcom both gained more than 45%, while Motorola rose 73% during the period. Motorola, the leading supplier of wireless infrastructure equipment and the number two manufacturer of wireless handsets, benefited from growth in cell phone usage in a variety of international markets. On the down side, Seagate Technology fared poorly when its earnings disappointed overly hopeful investors. 1 Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return for mutual funds with similar investment objectives as those of the fund. 3 Sidebar: TOP 5 SECTORS AS OF 02/29/04 (%) Information technology 20.8 ---------------------------------- Financials 19.6 ---------------------------------- Industrials 14.0 ---------------------------------- Consumer discretionary 11.2 ---------------------------------- Health Care 10.2 TOP 10 HOLDINGS AS OF 02/29/04 (%) Wal-mart Stores 4.2 ---------------------------------- Citigroup 3.8 ---------------------------------- General Electric 3.4 ---------------------------------- Pfizer 3.2 ---------------------------------- Microsoft 2.8 ---------------------------------- Dow Chemical 2.3 ---------------------------------- Exxon Mobil 2.3 ---------------------------------- American Express 1.9 ---------------------------------- American International Group 1.7 ---------------------------------- Bank One 1.7 HOLDINGS DISCUSSED IN THIS REPORT AS OF 02/29/04 (%) 3M 1.0 ---------------------------------- Dover 0.0 ---------------------------------- General Electric 3.4 ---------------------------------- QUALCOMM 0.8 ---------------------------------- Broadcom 0.5 ---------------------------------- Motorola 0.5 ---------------------------------- Seagate Technology 0.6 ---------------------------------- Citigroup 3.8 ---------------------------------- Bank One 1.7 ---------------------------------- American Express 1.9 ---------------------------------- Wal-Mart Stores 4.2 ---------------------------------- Altria Group 1.5 ---------------------------------- Shire Pharmaceuticals Group 0.5 Your fund is actively managed and the composition of its portfolio will change over time.

Although both have relatively small weights in the index, the sectors rebounded during the period as investors were willing to buy back into stocks that had been severely beaten down during the recent bear market. STOCK SELECTION IN DEFENSIVE SECTORS HELPED PERFORMANCE Although the fund was slightly underweight in financials relative to the index, strong stock selection in the sector helped performance. Our holdings in Citigroup, Bank One and American Express all gained ground as the economy picked up and interest rates remained low. Stock selection was also a plus in the consumer staples and health care sectors. Wal-Mart, our largest holding, and consumer staples giant Altria Group both delivered attractive returns. Shire Pharmaceuticals Group gained 33% as investors became more convinced of its growth prospects. PUTTING EXPECTATIONS IN PERSPECTIVE Looking ahead, we anticipate lower earnings growth rates in 2004, largely because 2003 was so strong. We believe that the economy has the potential to continue to expand, but future growth is likely to be somewhat slower, as we move from economic recovery to economic growth. We have some concerns about weak new job figures, but believe that other factors, such as low interest rates and growing global economic strength, should help market conditions remain favorable. We continue to position the portfolio for a positive economic environment, but may begin to shift our allocations to favor companies that would do well in a slower growing economy.

In addition, the graph and table do not reflect a deduction of the taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The S&P 500 Index tracks the performance of 500 large-capitalization US stocks. The Russell 1000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values (the Russell 1000 Index measures the performance of the 1000 largest US companies based on total market capitalization). Unlike the fund, indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Securities in the fund may not match those in an index. AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN AS OF 02/29/04 (%)

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum 5.75% charge for class A shares, the appropriate class B contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the holding period after purchase as follows: through first year - 5%, second year - 4%, third year - 3%, fourth year - 3%, fifth year - 2%, sixth year - 1%, and thereafter - 0%. Class C has a CDSC of 1% which is applicable for the first year only. Class D has a sales charge of 1% and also carries a CDSC of 1% that is applied to shares sold within the first year after they are purchased. For class G shares, the CDSC for the holding period after purchase is as follows: through first year - 5%, second year - 4%, third year - 4%, fourth year - 4%, fifth year - 3%, sixth year - 2%, seventh year - 1%, thereafter - 0%. Effective October 13, 2003, class D shares are closed to all new investors and new accounts. Existing class D shareholders will be able to make additional purchases at any time. In addition, the class D sales charge of 1% is waived after October 13, 2003. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the advisor or its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower. Classes A, B, D and G (newer class shares) share performance information includes returns of the fund's class Z shares (the oldest existing fund class) for periods prior to the inception of the newer class shares. The returns for class C include the returns of class B prior to 10/13/03, the date on which class C was initially offered by the fund. The returns shown for class C also include the performance of class Z prior to the inception of class B (11/01/02).

The fund came out behind the Russell 1000 Growth Index and S&P 500 Index, which returned 12.17% and 14.59%, respectively, over the same period. The fund also trailed the Lipper Large Cap Growth Funds Category average, which returned 9.91%.1 Stock selection in the technology sector and lackluster returns from media holdings hurt the fund's return relative to its benchmarks, and we believe the same factors hurt the fund's return relative to its peer group. CYCLICAL BIAS IN AN IMPROVING ECONOMY Throughout the period, we favored cyclical stocks--particularly technology, industrial and media names--which we believed would benefit from a strengthening economy. Across sectors, we targeted large companies with strong competitive positions, high and sustainable profits, good balance sheets and above-average sales growth. As the stock market rallied, these high quality large company stocks did well, but they trailed smaller company issues with less dependable earnings. STRONG GAINS FROM HEALTH CARE, INDUSTRIALS Health care, industrials and materials stocks were among the fund's best performers. Within health care, our focus on medical device companies paid off. St. Jude Medical, which makes cardiac rhythm management products, and Boston Scientific, which makes drug-coated stents, both posted robust gains. Another standout was Caremark Rx, a pharmacy benefits manager, that began to reap benefits from a recently announced merger. The fund sustained losses from its investment in Gilead Sciences, a biotechnology company with short-term inventory issues, and Biovail, a generic drug company, which we sold after accounting problems surfaced. Industrials and materials stocks benefited from increased demand and higher commodity prices. We boosted the fund's stake, targeting global companies positioned to take advantage of exploding growth in countries such as China. New purchases included 3M, Alcoa and Praxair, an industrial gas company. Among the top gainers were Tyco International, which rebounded under new management, and Alcoa, which rallied amid rising demand and tight bauxite supplies. Bauxite is the principal ore used in manufacturing aluminum. DISAPPOINTING TECHNOLOGY AND MEDIA RETURNS Corporations continued to limit discretionary spending, which hindered technology and media sales. In technology, we focused on themes such as the spread of broadband and WiFi (the wireless Internet), the growing 1 Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return for mutual funds with similar investment objectives as the fund. 6 Sidebar: TOP 5 SECTORS AS OF 02/29/04 (%) Information technology 31.7 ---------------------------------- Health care 19.7 ---------------------------------- Consumer discretionary 15.1 ---------------------------------- Industrials 12.8 ---------------------------------- Consumer staples 9.8 TOP 10 HOLDINGS AS OF 02/29/04 (%) General Electric 6.4 ---------------------------------- Pfizer 4.9 ---------------------------------- Intel 4.1 ---------------------------------- Microsoft 3.8 ---------------------------------- Cisco Systems 3.5 ---------------------------------- Wal-mart Stores 2.6 ---------------------------------- Amgen 2.5 ---------------------------------- Teva Pharmaceutical Industries 2.4 ---------------------------------- Caremark Rx 2.0 ---------------------------------- Viacom 2.0 HOLDINGS DISCUSSED IN THIS REPORT AS OF 02/29/04 (%) St. Jude Medical 1.3 ---------------------------------- Boston Scientific 1.5 ---------------------------------- Caremark Rx 2.0 ---------------------------------- Gilead Sciences 1.3 ---------------------------------- 3M 1.3 ---------------------------------- Alcoa 1.6 ---------------------------------- Praxair 1.5 ---------------------------------- Tyco International 1.7 ---------------------------------- Cisco Systems 3.5 ---------------------------------- QUALCOMM 1.8 ---------------------------------- QLogic 0.4 ---------------------------------- Paychex 0.9 ---------------------------------- Viacom 2.0 Your fund is actively managed and the composition of its portfolio will change over time.

Both Cisco Systems, a leader in data networking, and QUALCOMM, which makes semiconductors for cell phones, rallied nicely. However, QLogic and Seagate Technology, which supply parts, peripherals and other components to technology systems companies, declined amid earnings shortfalls. We reduced our stake in QLogic and sold Seagate. Our investment in Paychex, a company that provides payroll and processing services for small businesses, was a disappointment. The stock suffered as job growth remained weak. Media stocks such as Liberty Media (no longer in the portfolio) and Viacom faltered as advertising spending failed to pick up as quickly as we expected in a strengthening economy. Nevertheless, media stocks started to turn around late in the period. We remain optimistic that the industry will benefit as year-over-year earnings comparisons improve and the summer Olympics and Presidential election bolster ad spending. FAVORABLE OUTLOOK FOR LARGE-CAP STOCKS As the US economic expansion moves into its later stages, we expect large company and higher quality stocks to lead the market. Most large companies have global businesses that can benefit from continued strong economic growth in countries such as China and India. As the rate of US economic growth slows, we plan to shift the portfolio's bias away from cyclical stocks and toward stocks with less economic sensitivity and records of more consistent earnings growth.

Berlinquet An investment in the fund may present certain risks, including stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments. The fund may invest in foreign securities, which have special risks, including political or economic instability and higher transaction costs; different regulations, accounting standards, trading practices and levels of information; and currency exchange rate fluctuations. The fund's approach offers the potential for long-term growth, but also involves the possibility of losses due to the sensitivity of growth stock prices to changes in current or expected earnings. 7 Sidebar: PERFORMANCE OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT 03/01/94 - 02/29/04 ($) SALES CHARGE WITHOUT WITH ----------------------------------- Class A 16,456 15,515 ----------------------------------- Class B 16,228 16,228 ----------------------------------- Class C 16,276 16,276 ----------------------------------- Class D 16,336 16,169 ----------------------------------- Class Z 16,595 n/a Performance data quoted represents past performance and current performance may be lower or higher.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum 5.75% charge for class A shares and the appropriate class B contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the holding period after purchase as follows: through first year - 5%, second year - 4%, third year - 3%, fourth year - 3%, fifth year - 2%, sixth year - 1%, and thereafter - 0%. Class C has a CDSC of 1% which is applicable for the first year only. Class D has a sales charge of 1% and also carries a CDSC of 1% that is applied to shares sold within the first year after they are purchased. Effective October 13, 2003, class D shares are closed to all new investors and new accounts. Existing class D shareholders will be able to make additional purchases at any time. In addition, the class D sales charge of 1% is waived after October 13, 2003. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the advisor or its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower. Classes A, B, and D (newer class shares) share performance information includes returns of the fund's class Z shares (the oldest existing fund class) for periods prior to the inception of the newer class shares. The returns for class C include the returns of class B prior to 10/13/03, the date on which class C was initially offered by the fund. The returns shown for class C also include the performance of class Z prior to the inception of class B (11/01/02). Class Z share returns are not restated to reflect any expense differential (e.g., Rule 12b-1 fees) between class Z shares and the newer class shares. Had the expense differential been reflected, the returns for the periods prior to the inception of classes A, B, C and D would have been lower. 8 Sidebar: SUMMARY o FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD THAT ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2004, THE FUND'S CLASS A SHARES RETURNED 21.08% WITHOUT SALES CHARGE. o THE FUND'S RETURN WAS LESS THAN ITS BENCHMARK, THE MSCI AC WORLD EX US INDEX. o THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE WAS HINDERED BY A RELATIVELY SMALL COMMITMENT TO GERMAN SECURITIES, WHICH WERE STRONG PERFORMERS DURING THE PERIOD.

However, the fund trailed the MSCI AC World ex US Index, which returned 25.41% during the same period. The portfolio underperformed its benchmark principally because of a relatively small commitment to German securities. GERMAN STOCKS REBOUNDED We limited our investment in German stocks because the prospects for the German market appeared unattractive at the beginning of the period and indeed, the German stock market had performed poorly prior to this reporting period in the first half of 2003. However, German stocks rebounded strongly in the second half of 2003 in response to government changes in financial policy, and the fund did not fully participate in the gains. We subsequently added to our German holdings after research visits to Europe provided a more positive view of the country's investment and economic environment. We invested in Allianz AG, a German insurance company, which aided the fund's return. AN IMPROVED INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT The portfolio benefited from investments in the materials, energy and industrials sectors, all of which responded positively to an improving economy. As the dollar fell, returns to US investors got an additional boost because the value of securities purchased in local currencies rose when converted to US dollars. The dollar was particularly weak against the Japanese yen and the euro, which gained 7% and 14% against the dollar, respectively, during the period. EXPOSURE TO JAPAN AND THAILAND MAINTAINED, CHINA REDUCED We maintained relatively large weights in Thailand and Japan, a strategy that generally benefited the fund's return. In Thailand, which was the strongest performing market held by the fund during the period, we favored stocks with the potential to benefit from the country's infrastructure development, such as Siam Cement and Land and Houses. Both positions gained ground during the period. In Japan, which was the portfolio's largest country weight, we added UFJ Holdings, a large bank, to the portfolio and added to our position in Millea Holdings, an insurance company, after they reacted positively to changes in government policies regarding financial institutions. Both stocks were strong performers for the portfolio, although Japanese stocks generally lagged other world markets in the last months of the period. 9 Sidebar: TOP 5 COUNTRIES AS OF 02/29/04 (%) Japan 21.7 -------------------------------------- United Kingdom 21.6 -------------------------------------- Germany 8.6 -------------------------------------- France 6.4 -------------------------------------- Netherlands 4.8 TOP 10 HOLDINGS AS OF 02/29/04 (%) BP PLC, ADR 2.2 -------------------------------------- Eni S.p.A. 2.2 -------------------------------------- Siemens AG 1.9 -------------------------------------- Credit Suisse Group 1.8 -------------------------------------- Samsung Electronics 1.8 -------------------------------------- Allianz AG 1.7 -------------------------------------- Matsushita Electronic Industrial 1.6 -------------------------------------- Ing Groep NV 1.6 -------------------------------------- Smith & Nephew PLC 1.6 -------------------------------------- Reckitt Benckiser PLC 1.6 HOLDINGS DISCUSSED IN THIS REPORT AS OF 02/29/04 (%) Allianz AG 1.7 -------------------------------------- Siam Cement 1.3 -------------------------------------- Land and Houses 0.5 -------------------------------------- UFJ Holdings 0.8 -------------------------------------- Millea Holdings 1.4 Your fund is actively managed and the composition of its portfolio will change over time.

While we continue to believe in China's prospects, we became concerned about the country's ability to sustain its recent strong economic growth. We believe that the emergence of a property construction bubble, structural weakness in the banking system and rapidly developing shortages in electric power capacity could cause Chinese authorities to slow the country's extraordinary growth. POSITIVE OUTLOOK FOR EUROPEAN AND JAPANESE COMPANIES We have positioned the portfolio to take advantage of the trend toward restructuring among European companies and the attractive valuations and earnings forecasts offered by Japanese companies. Although we reduced the fund's overall exposure to emerging markets, we made modest new investments in the emerging markets of Eastern Europe. We believe that these markets have the potential to perform well as they become more integrated with Western Europe. We will continue to monitor emerging markets and take advantage of investment opportunities as they arise. Photo of: James M. McAlear James M.

McAlear An investment in the fund offers the potential for long-term growth, but also involves certain risks, including stock market fluctuations due to economic and business developments. There are also specific risks involved when investing in foreign stocks, such as currency exchange rate fluctuations, economic change, instability of emerging countries and political developments. 10 Sidebar: PERFORMANCE OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT 03/01/94 - 02/29/04 ($) SALES CHARGE WITHOUT WITH ----------------------------------- Class A 23,038 21,716 ----------------------------------- Class B 22,814 22,814 ----------------------------------- Class C 22,849 22,849 ----------------------------------- Class D 22,826 22,593 ----------------------------------- Class G 22,778 22,778 ----------------------------------- Class T 23,097 21,772 ----------------------------------- Class Z 23,203 n/a Performance data quoted represents past performance and current performance may be lower or higher.

The Russell MidCap Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, as ranked by total market capitalization. The Russell MidCap Growth Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of those Russell MidCap companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Unlike the fund, indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Securities in the fund may not match those in an index. AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN AS OF 02/29/04 (%)

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum 5.75% charge for class A shares, the appropriate class B contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the holding period after purchase as follows: through first year - 5%, second year - 4%, third year - 3%, fourth year - 3%, fifth year - 2%, sixth year - 1%, thereafter - 0%, and the class D sales charge of 1% and a CDSC of 1% that is applied to shares sold within the first year after they are purchased. Class C has a CDSC of 1% which is applicable for the first year only. For class G shares, the CDSC for the holding period after purchase is as follows: through first year - 5%, second year - 4%, third year - 4%, fourth year - 4%, fifth year - 3%, sixth year - 2%, seventh year - 1%, thereafter - 0%. For class T shares, the "with sales charge" returns include the maximum 5.75% charge. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. Effective October 13, 2003, class D shares are closed to all new investors and new accounts. Existing class D shareholders will be able to make additional purchases at any time. In addition, the class D sales charge of 1% is waived after October 13, 2003. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the advisor or its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower. Classes A, B, D, G and T (newer class shares) share performance information includes returns of the fund's class Z shares (the oldest existing fund class) for periods prior to the inception of the newer class shares. The returns for class C include the returns of class B prior to 10/13/03, the date on which class C was initially offered by the fund. The returns shown for class C also include the performance of class Z prior to the inception of class B (11/01/02). Class Z share returns are not restated to reflect any expense differential (e.g., Rule 12b-1 fees) between class Z shares and the newer class shares. Had the expense differential been reflected, the returns for the periods prior to the inception of classes A, B, C, D, G and T would have been lower. 11 Sidebar: SUMMARY o FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2004, THE FUND'S CLASS A SHARES RETURNED 7.96% WITHOUT SALES CHARGE. o THE FUND UNDERPERFORMED ITS BENCHMARKS, THE RUSSELL MIDCAP GROWTH INDEX AND RUSSELL MIDCAP INDEX, AS WELL AS ITS PEER GROUP, THE LIPPER MIDCAP GROWTH FUNDS CATEGORY. o STOCK SELECTION IN HEALTH CARE AND AN EMPHASIS ON HIGHER QUALITY TECHNOLOGY STOCKS, WHICH UNDERPERFORMED MORE SPECULATIVE TECHNOLOGY ISSUES, WERE THE PRIMARY REASONS THE FUND LAGGED ITS BENCHMARKS.

The fund underperformed both the Russell MidCap Growth Index, which returned 15.52%, and the Russell MidCap Index, which returned 18.31% during the same period. The fund also underperformed its peer group. The Lipper MidCap Growth Funds Category average was 11.75%. 1 Small-cap and mid-cap stocks rose more than large-cap stocks because investors believed smaller companies had more to gain in an improving economy. The fund was the beneficiary of this positive investor sentiment. However, it trailed its benchmark indices primarily because of stock selection in health care and because it focused on higher quality technology stocks, which underperformed more speculative technology issues. We believe these are also the principal reasons that the fund underperformed its peers. HEALTH CARE HOLDINGS DID POORLY The fund's health care stocks underperformed over the past six months. We eliminated our investment in Biovail, but not before a major earnings disappointment brought the stock price down sharply. Investors lost confidence in the stock after a truck accident destroyed a large shipment of one of the company's primary drug products and questions were raised about their accounting practices. The fund's performance was also hurt by its position in Gilead Sciences, which declined sharply during the period. The company was hurt by declining sales prospects for the biotech firm's flagship product, the anti-HIV drug Viread. Yet, several high-quality health care stocks made positive contributions to the fund, including DaVita, a dialysis services company; IVAX, a pharmaceuticals company; and Varian Medical Systems, a medical equipment company. INVESTORS ATTRACTED TO SPECULATIVE TECHNOLOGY NAMES Although the fund was overweight in technology, it did not participate in some of the strong gains by speculative technology companies because of its emphasis on high-quality technology companies with established earnings. Still, the fund's bottom-up research process did help us identify companies with above-average earnings growth and reasonable valuations, such as Fairchild Semiconductor International, Novell and AU Optronics. All three stocks made positive contributions to the fund's performance. We sold AU Optronics because it reached our price target. 1 Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return for mutual funds with similar investment objectives as those of the fund. 12 Sidebar: TOP 5 SECTORS AS OF 02/29/04 (%) Information technology 39.2 ----------------------------------------- Health care 20.4 ----------------------------------------- Consumer discretionary 17.5 ----------------------------------------- Industrials 10.6 ----------------------------------------- Energy 6.5 TOP 10 HOLDINGS AS OF 02/29/04 (%) Univision Communications 2.1 ----------------------------------------- Comverse Technology 1.9 ----------------------------------------- Microchip Technology 1.8 ----------------------------------------- Autoliv 1.7 ----------------------------------------- Caremark Rx 1.7 ----------------------------------------- Amphenol 1.7 ----------------------------------------- American Power Conversion 1.6 ----------------------------------------- Agilent Technologies 1.6 ----------------------------------------- Amdocs 1.6 ----------------------------------------- Fair Isaac 1.6 HOLDINGS DISCUSSED IN THIS REPORT AS OF 02/29/04 (%) Gilead Sciences 0.4 ----------------------------------------- DaVita 1.5 ----------------------------------------- IVAX 0.9 ----------------------------------------- Varian Medical Systems 1.2 ----------------------------------------- Fairchild Semiconductor International 1.2 ----------------------------------------- Novell 0.8 ----------------------------------------- XTO Energy 1.0 ----------------------------------------- National-Oilwell 1.2 Your fund is actively managed and the composition of its portfolio will change over time.

However, energy made a positive contribution to the fund's performance relative to the index because we were invested in the types of companies that did the best within the sector--energy producers and energy service companies. Energy, in general, benefited as cold weather and global economic growth resulted in higher demand for oil and gas. But energy producers and service companies were the primary beneficiaries, as higher demand resulted in higher commodity prices and the expectation that drilling activity would be more attractive. These factors favored investments such as XTO Energy and National-Oilwell, which were strong performers for the fund. POSITIVE OUTLOOK FOR ECONOMY AND STOCK MARKET The fund's positioning at the end of the period reflects our outlook for sustained economic growth. We continue to believe that selected technology and energy companies have the potential to benefit from an improving economy. However, we also believe that investors are likely to seek strong revenue and earnings growth to justify higher stock prices after a year of strong returns, particularly from smaller company stocks. And although we believe that many companies have the potential to generate attractive revenue growth, it is unlikely to be enough to fuel another year of returns as high as 2003. As a result, we are seeking to reduce the overall risk exposure of the portfolio by focusing on companies with reasonable valuations as well as good growth prospects. Photo of Richard J.

That was less than the return of the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which was 15.42%, and the Russell 2000 Index, which was 18.34%, during the same period. However, it was higher than the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Category average, which was 14.45%.1 The fund benefited from its emphasis on technology stocks, which posted strong gains during the period, and from stock selection in the energy sector. However, our emphasis on companies with current earnings hurt our performance relative to the indices, since by far the best performance during the period was generated by more speculative companies. Investors were far more willing to take on risk as war worries lessened and economic recovery came into focus. SMALL CAP STOCKS BENEFITED IN IMPROVING ECONOMY With the end of major military action in Iraq and an economy on the mend, the US stock market moved higher during the six-month reporting period. Small caps were the greatest beneficiaries of the trend. Investors favored small caps on the expectation that they had more to gain in an improving economy. And, they favored sectors that were likely to benefit from a stronger economy. The fund was positioned to capitalize on both trends. STRONGEST GAINS FROM TECHNOLOGY STOCKS During this six-month period, the fund's strongest gains came from many of the same technology stocks that had been hit hard during the three-year bear market. Technology companies benefited from stronger demand as the economy improved. Among the fund's technology holdings, Cognizant Technology Solutions, Aspect Communications and F5 Networks did well. HIGH DEMAND FOR OIL AND GAS BOOSTS ENERGY SECTOR The fund's above-average weight in energy investments was a slight drag on performance, because the energy portion of the Russell 2000 Growth Index slightly trailed the overall index return. However, energy made a positive contribution to the fund's performance relative to the index because we were invested in the types of companies that did the best within the sector--energy producers and energy service companies.

These factors favored investments such as XTO Energy, National-Oilwell and Chesapeake Energy, which were strong performers for the fund. STRONG RETURNS FROM SPECULATIVE HEALTH CARE STOCKS In the health care sector, the fund was hurt by its emphasis on high-quality companies with track records of consistent earnings growth during a period when more speculative companies were the sector's top performers. However, we believe that our strategy will benefit the fund in the long-term, and we have stayed with it. We were also hurt by our position in First Health Group, which declined sharply in the face of strong competition from major health maintenance organizations. We sold the stock. POSITIONED FOR A RECOVERING ECONOMY At the end of the period, the fund was positioned to take advantage of an improving economy. We maintained our emphasis on technology companies, because their prospects are closely linked to economic growth. However, in light of the strong run-up in small-cap stock prices, we do not expect returns in 2004 to match the returns of 2003. We believe that investors are likely to become more selective--and more demanding of revenue and earnings growth to justify higher stock prices. As a result, we have focused on companies with reasonable valuations as well as growth prospects in order to manage the fund's overall risk exposure. Photo of Richard J. Johnson Richard J.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum 5.75% charge for class A shares and the appropriate class B contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the holding period after purchase as follows: through first year - 5%, second year - 4%, third year - 3%, fourth year - 3%, fifth year - 2%, sixth year - 1%, and thereafter - 0%. Class C has a CDSC of 1% which is applicable for the first year only. Class D has a sales charge of 1% and also carries a CDSC of 1% that is applied to shares sold within the first year after they are purchased. Effective October 13, 2003, class D shares are closed to all new investors and new accounts. Existing class D shareholders will be able to make additional purchases at any time. In addition, the class D sales charge of 1% is waived after October 13, 2003. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the advisor or its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower. Classes A, B, and D (newer class shares) share performance information includes returns of the fund's class Z shares (the oldest existing fund class) for periods prior to the inception of the newer class shares. The returns for class C include the returns of class B prior to 10/13/03, the date on which class C was initially offered by the fund. The returns shown for class C also include the performance of class Z prior to the inception of class B (11/01/02). Class Z share returns are not restated to reflect any expense differential (e.g., Rule 12b-1 fees) between class Z shares and the newer class shares. Had the expense differential been reflected, the returns for the periods prior to the inception of classes A, B, C and D would have been lower. 17 Sidebar: SUMMARY o FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD THAT ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2004, THE FUND'S CLASS A SHARES RETURNED 19.28% WITHOUT SALES CHARGE. o THE FUND'S RETURN WAS LOWER THAN ITS BENCHMARK, THE NAREIT INDEX, AND LOWER THAN THE AVERAGE RETURN OF THE LIPPER REAL ESTATE FUNDS CATEGORY. o THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS IN PAPER AND FOREST PRODUCTS SECURITIES WERE LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS RELATIVE UNDERPERFORMANCE DURING THE PERIOD, ALTHOUGH THESE HOLDINGS REBOUNDED LATE IN THE PERIOD.

Although the fund generated a strong absolute return, it was slightly less than the 20.69% gain of its benchmark, the NAREIT Index, a common measure of real estate securities' performance. The fund also underperformed the Lipper Real Estate Funds Category average, which was 20.37%.1 The fund's substantial allocation to paper and forest product securities and a relatively light exposure to health care REITs, which were one of the better-performing sectors in the index, were a slight drag on performance. SECTOR ALLOCATION DECISIONS AIDED RESULTS Average vacancy rates in major office markets were significantly higher than their historical average during the period. Similarly, apartment vacancy rates increased as weaker job growth decreased demand. We maintained an underweight position in both office and apartment REITs, which benefited the fund's return. In addition, our investments in cyclically-oriented sectors of the real estate markets, including higher-quality regional malls and shopping centers, and industrial and lodging companies, were solid performers. We did not participate in the rally in health care REITs. These companies rarely meet our selection criteria because their cash flow streams are dependent on government policy. CAPITAL INFLOWS BOOSTED VALUATIONS REITs continued to attract sizeable inflows of investor capital over the past six months, in many cases driving prices up to premium levels. As a result, we maintained the fund's defensive positioning. We continued to add to our investment in non-real-estate related companies, which accounted for 17% of the fund's net assets by the end of the period. (The fund's investment policy permits us to hold up to 20% of assets in non-real-estate related companies.) We like the paper and forest-products sectors because we believe they are early in their product pricing cycles and that cash flows are set to grow strongly. These stocks, many of which were disappointments when we first purchased them in the fourth quarter of 2002 and in early 2003, recovered nicely as manufacturing activity rebounded near the end of the period. We also added a relatively new investment vehicle called an income deposit security (IDS) by initiating a small position in Volume Services America Holdings, a national operator of concessions at stadiums and convention centers. Popular in Canada, an IDS combines a share of dividend-paying common stock along with an interest in corporate subordinated debt. The security pays both a dividend, which is now taxed at the lower dividend tax rate, and interest, which is taxed at the 1 Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return for mutual funds with similar investment objectives as those of the fund. 18 Sidebar: TOP 5 SECTORS AS OF 02/29/04 (%) Retail 28.3 ------------------------------------------ Industrial 26.2 ------------------------------------------ Office 14.4 ------------------------------------------ Residential 8.0 ------------------------------------------ Lodging 5.5 TOP 10 HOLDINGS AS OF 02/29/04 (%) Simon Property Group 6.0 ----------------------------------------- General Growth Properties 5.3 ----------------------------------------- iStar Financial 4.4 ----------------------------------------- ProLogis 4.2 ----------------------------------------- Bowater 3.9 ----------------------------------------- Alexandria Real Estate Equities 3.7 ----------------------------------------- Cousins Properties 3.7 ----------------------------------------- Rouse 3.6 ----------------------------------------- Regency Centers 3.5 ----------------------------------------- Duke Realty 3.4 HOLDINGS DISCUSSED IN THIS REPORT AS OF 02/29/04 (%) Volume Services America Holdings 1.0 Your fund is actively managed and the composition of its portfolio will change over time.

We purchased the security for its income potential--the yield was approximately 9% at the end of the period. We expect to add to our IDS allocation on a selective basis. RISKS MAY RISE FOR REITS Strong performance by REITs during the reporting period continued to be driven by investors seeking an alternative to lower-yielding fixed-income sectors. However, REITs face a number of challenges. Recent tax legislation may cause REITs to look relatively less attractive because, generally speaking, the dividends they pay are taxed at a higher rate than other dividends. Real estate stock valuations have been high for more than a year now. Although we were early in positioning the fund more defensively, we believe the portfolio's defensive positioning is appropriate for this environment. We believe that the environment for industrial REITs is likely to improve more quickly than for apartment and office REITs, and that expectation is reflected in our allocations at the end of the period. Over the long term, we believe that the fund's investments have the potential to benefit from the economic recovery that has been underway for nearly a year. David Jellison has managed the fund since 1994 and has been with the advisor and its predecessors since 1992. /s/ David Jellison An investment in the fund may present certain risks, including stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments. The fund may be subject to the same types of risks associated with direct ownership of real estate including the decline of property value due to general, local and regional economic conditions. In addition, the fund's share price will likely be subject to more volatility than the overall stock market because it concentrates in real estate stocks. 19 Sidebar: PERFORMANCE OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT 11/09/00 - 02/29/04 ($) SALES CHARGE WITHOUT WITH ---------------------------------- Class A 7,353 6,931 ---------------------------------- Class B 7,273 7,055 ---------------------------------- Class C 7,273 7,273 ---------------------------------- Class D 7,303 7,231 ---------------------------------- Class Z 7,393 n/a Performance data quoted represents past performance and current performance may be lower or higher.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum 5.75% charge for class A shares and the appropriate class B contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the holding period after purchase as follows: through first year - 5%, second year - 4%, third year - 3%, fourth year - 3%, fifth year - 2%, sixth year - 1%, and thereafter - 0%. Class C has a CDSC of 1% which is applicable for the first year only. Class D has a sales charge of 1% and also carries a CDSC of 1% that is applied to shares sold within the first year after they are purchased. Effective October 13, 2003, class D shares are closed to all new investors and new accounts. Existing class D shareholders will be able to make additional purchases at any time. In addition, the class D sales charge of 1% is waived after October 13, 2003. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the advisor or its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower. Classes A, B, and D (newer class shares) share performance information includes returns of the fund's class Z shares (the oldest existing fund class) for periods prior to the inception of the newer class shares.

The fund outpaced its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch 100 Technology Index, which returned 16.80% for the same period. It also surpassed the Lipper Science & Technology Funds Category average of 13.33%.1 The fund's heavy emphasis on semiconductor and wireless companies--the two top-performing industries for the period--helped performance. HIGH RETURNS IN A RISING MARKET A growing economy in all areas except job creation helped propel technology stocks during the period. The largest gains came in the fourth quarter of 2003 and January, boosted by consumer purchases during the holidays and year-end corporate spending. In many cases, cost cutting efforts implemented during the tech downturn helped profitability as market conditions improved. In February the market was weaker, causing the fund to give back some of its gains. DIVERSIFICATION--AND A FEW BIG BETS Our strategy remained fairly consistent during the period, as we emphasized semiconductor and wireless companies. We pared back our exposure to Internet stocks and tended to favor larger, more stable companies. Of the approximately 120 stocks in the portfolio, we concentrated on those about which we felt particularly confident, which worked to our advantage during this period. FOCUS ON SEMICONDUCTORS AND WIRELESS PAID OFF During the period we established a large position--over 6% of net assets--in semiconductor manufacturer ZiLOG, which makes microcontrollers. Its price had been beaten down, but a new management team, cost cutting measures and a more focused strategy brought it back to life. It was one of our best performers. In the wireless area, we did well with Millicom International Cellular, a cellular service provider in developing countries such as Vietnam. Other international stocks that helped performance were American Tower and Crown Castle International, companies that own and operate communications towers in the United States, the United Kingdom and in the fast growing markets of Mexico and Brazil. OPPORTUNITIES IN SOFTWARE, OUTSOURCING Another theme we pursued was the growing trend for businesses--particularly outside the United States--to adopt the Linux operating 1 Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return for mutual funds with similar investment objectives as those of the fund. 21 Sidebar: TOP 5 SECTORS AS OF 02/29/04 (%) Semiconductors & semiconductor equipment 31.7 ----------------------------------------- Communications equipment 16.4 ----------------------------------------- Software 10.3 ----------------------------------------- Wireless telecommunication services 7.8 ----------------------------------------- IT services 6.3 TOP 10 HOLDINGS AS OF 02/29/04 (%) ZiLOG 6.2 ----------------------------------------- Formfactor 5.0 ----------------------------------------- ECI Telecom 3.8 ----------------------------------------- Samsung Electronics 3.5 ----------------------------------------- Millicom International Cellular 2.4 ----------------------------------------- Marvell Technology Group 2.4 ----------------------------------------- Vimpelcom 1.9 ----------------------------------------- XM Satellite Radio Holdings 1.8 ----------------------------------------- Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson 1.8 ----------------------------------------- Agilent Technologies 1.7 HOLDINGS DISCUSSED IN THIS REPORT AS OF 02/29/04 (%) ZiLOG 6.2 ----------------------------------------- Millicom International Cellular 2.4 ----------------------------------------- American Tower 0.5 ----------------------------------------- Crown Castle International 0.9 ----------------------------------------- Microsoft 0.9 ----------------------------------------- Novell 1.1 ----------------------------------------- Cognizant Technology Solutions 1.6 Your fund is actively managed and the composition of its portfolio will change over time.

Software company Novell was already in the portfolio, but we added to our stake when it became clear that the firm was repositioning itself as a major Linux player. Toward the end of the period we took some profits, but Novell remained one of our largest software holdings. We also initiated a successful position in Cognizant Technology Solutions in an effort to benefit from the outsourcing trend. Cognizant specializes in application maintenance services and software design with development centers in India, Ireland and the United States. STILL ROOM FOR GROWTH We believe there are plenty of opportunities ahead for technology stocks. Despite concerns about low job growth, we see underlying strengths in the economy that should benefit tech companies. Valuations have corrected themselves to healthy levels, but still with room for growth. Moving forward, we will continue to seek out investment opportunities that focus on product cycle themes, such as broadband and Linux, which we believe have the potential for above-average growth under a variety of market conditions.

The fund came out slightly behind the Russell 3000 Value Index, which returned 17.82%. A sizable cash position, which resulted from selling stocks that had appreciated, held back performance. However, the fund beat both the S&P 500 Index and the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Fund Category average, which returned 14.59%, and 16.65%, respectively.1 The fund benefited from a bias toward economically sensitive stocks as well as small- and mid-cap names, many of which posted strong gains. The fund's investments in the emerging markets of Eastern Europe, Russia and Indonesia also boosted performance. HEAVY CONCENTRATION IN CYCLICAL SECTORS The fund began the period with an emphasis on semiconductor, industrial and basic materials stocks that had the potential to benefit from an improving economy. As corporate profits and economic growth strengthened early in the six-month reporting period, these investments did well. Among our best gainers were semiconductor manufacturers Atmel and Texas Instruments. We sold Atmel because we believed the stock was fully valued. In addition, Polycom, a leader in voice and video conferencing, benefited from increased demand as companies continued to cut costs by reducing business travel. In the industrial sector, Copart, an auctioneer of wrecked vehicles and auto parts that is expanding its market potential by moving online, and Eaton, an engineering company, were also strong performers. Materials producers, such as Dow Chemical and Georgia-Pacific, a paper and pulp company, rallied nicely as demand and pricing improved. ATTRACTIVE VALUATIONS OVERSEAS, PARTICULARLY IN EMERGING MARKETS We found many attractively valued stocks overseas. Some of the fund's best gains came from cellular phone companies operating in emerging markets where current usage is relatively low but growing rapidly. Standouts included Millicom International Cellular, which is active in Vietnam, Pakistan and other emerging markets, and Russia's VimpelCom. We also increased foreign holdings within the financial sector because we believed they would hold up better if interest rates rose in the United States. In that regard, we added to existing positions in Japanese firms such as Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group and Nomura Holdings. 1 Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return for mutual funds with similar investment objectives as those of the fund. 24 Sidebar: TOP 5 SECTORS AS OF 02/29/04 (%) Financials 12.5 -------------------------------------- Consumer discretionary 11.4 -------------------------------------- Industrials 10.2 -------------------------------------- Information technology 10.1 -------------------------------------- Health care 9.2 TOP 10 HOLDINGS AS OF 02/29/04 (%) 3M 1.5 -------------------------------------- Millicom International Cellular 1.0 -------------------------------------- Pfizer 0.9 -------------------------------------- Schlumberger 0.9 -------------------------------------- Nokian Renkaat Oyj 0.9 -------------------------------------- Transocean 0.9 -------------------------------------- Wesco Financial 0.8 -------------------------------------- DST Systems 0.8 -------------------------------------- J.P.

We expect spending on advertising to increase in advance of the presidential election and summer Olympics. We sold our stakes in other weak performers, including Newell Rubbermaid, which suffered when an expected turnaround failed to materialize. The fund, however, maintained a sizable investment in Nokian Renkaat Oyj, a Finnish tire company that rallied sharply as sales and profits improved in its key Nordic and Russian markets. MORE GROWTH-ORIENTED, LESS CYCLICAL FOCUS By period end, we believed many cyclical stocks had reached fair market value and we were concerned about the sustainability of the economic recovery beyond 2004. As a result, we shifted the fund more toward stocks with strong earnings growth prospects and fewer ties to the economy. New additions included health care stocks, such as Biogen Idec, a biotechnology company, and Cytyc, a testing company. We also doubled our stake in Pfizer, a large pharmaceutical company with an attractive valuation, and reduced our investment in Tenet Healthcare, a health services company mired in Medicare fraud issues. In the technology sector, we trimmed hardware stocks and replaced them with software stocks, which are less sensitive to economic conditions. Photo of: Robert A. Unger Robert A.

In addition, the graph and table do not reflect a deduction of the taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index that represents average market-weighted performance of US Treasury and agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed securities with maturities greater than one year. The S&P 500 Index tracks the performance of 500 large-capitalization US stocks. Unlike the fund, indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Securities in the fund may not match those in an index. AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN AS OF 02/29/04 (%)

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum 5.75% charge for class A shares, the appropriate class B contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the holding period after purchase as follows: through the first year - 5%, second year - 4%, third year - 3%, fourth year - 3%, fifth year - 2%, sixth year - 1%, and thereafter - 0%. Class C has a CDSC of 1% which is applicable for the first year only. Class D has a sales charge of 1% and also carries a CDSC of 1% that is applied to shares sold within the first year after they are purchased. Effective October 13, 2003, class D shares are closed to all new investors and new accounts. Existing class D shareholders will be able to make additional purchases at any time. In addition, the class D sales charge of 1% is waived after October 13, 2003. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the advisor or its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower. Classes A, B, and D (newer class shares) share performance information includes returns of the fund's class Z shares (the oldest existing fund class) for periods prior to the inception of the newer class shares. The returns for class C include the returns of class B prior to 10/13/03, the date on which class C was initially offered by the fund. The returns shown for class C also include the performance of class Z prior to the inception of class B (11/01/02). Class Z share returns are not restated to reflect any expense differential (e.g., Rule 12b-1 fees) between class Z shares and the newer class shares. Had the expense differential been reflected, the returns for the periods prior to the inception of classes A, B, C, and D would have been lower. 26 Sidebar: SUMMARY o FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2004, THE FUND'S CLASS A SHARES RETURNED 9.79% WITHOUT SALES CHARGE. o THE FUND'S RETURN WAS LOWER THAN BOTH THE STANDARD & POOR'S 500 INDEX AND THE LIPPER BALANCED FUNDS CATEGORY AVERAGE, BUT AHEAD OF THE LEHMAN BROTHERS AGGREGATE BOND INDEX. o ABOVE-AVERAGE EXPOSURE TO INDUSTRIAL STOCKS HURT RELATIVE PERFORMANCE WITHIN THE FUND'S STOCK PORTFOLIO.

That was higher than the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 4.92%, and lower than the S&P 500 Index, which returned 14.59%. The fund's performance was slightly lower than the Lipper Balanced Funds Category average, which returned 10.56%.1 The fund's above-average exposure to industrial stocks hurt relative performance within the fund's stock portfolio when that sector declined from late December through early February. The fund's emphasis on asset-backed securities and a modest holding of lower quality bonds helped performance within the fixed income portion of the fund. But those gains were almost entirely offset by the fund's relatively short duration, which held back performance as interest rates declined. FUND POSITIONED FOR RECOVERING ECONOMY During the period, the portfolio was positioned for a recovering economy, with higher allocations in economically-sensitive sectors such as industrials, information technology, basic materials and consumer cyclicals. Our decision to overweight these sectors relative to the S&P 500 Index produced mixed results. Our investments in basic materials stocks did well, while industrial and cyclical stocks detracted from relative performance. Although industrial stocks 3M, Dover and General Electric all had positive returns for the period, they failed to keep pace with their industry peers and the S&P 500 Index. We sold our position in Dover during the period. In technology, where we focused on broadband, wireless information access and digital media, the fund benefited from good stock selection. Our positions in National Semiconductor and Advanced Micro Devices both gained more than 30%, while Motorola rose 73% during the period. On the down side, Seagate Technology fared poorly when its earnings disappointed overly hopeful investors. We also missed out on gains from the telecommunications and utilities sector, which were strong performers, because the fund had little exposure to either group. FIXED-INCOME RETURNS STILL MUTED The return on the fund's bond holdings was in line with the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. The fund's small position in B and BB-rated bonds, which was well within its 10% limit on below-investment grade securities, and an emphasis on asset-backed securities aided performance. However, we maintained a slightly shorter duration than our benchmark and that hurt performance. Duration is a measure of interest rate sensitivity. We shortened duration because we expected interest rates to rise in a strengthening economy, and our shorter 1 Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return for mutual funds with similar investment objectives as those of the fund. 27 Sidebar: PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION AS OF 02/29/04 (%) Common stock 65.9 ----------------------------------------- Corporate notes & bonds 13.8 ----------------------------------------- Government issues 13.7 ----------------------------------------- Collateralized mortgage obligations 2.3 ----------------------------------------- Cash & cash equivalents, net receivables & payables 1.2 ----------------------------------------- Asset-backed securities 1.1 ----------------------------------------- Preferred stock 1.0 ----------------------------------------- Commercial mortgage-backed securities 1.0 TOP 10 EQUITY HOLDINGS AS OF 02/29/04 (%) Wal-Mart Stores 2.8 ----------------------------------------- Citigroup 2.6 ----------------------------------------- General Electric 2.3 ----------------------------------------- Pfizer 2.2 ----------------------------------------- Microsoft 1.9 ----------------------------------------- Dow Chemical 1.6 ----------------------------------------- Exxon Mobil 1.6 ----------------------------------------- American Express 1.3 ----------------------------------------- Bank One 1.2 ----------------------------------------- American International Group 1.2 HOLDINGS DISCUSSED IN THIS REPORT AS OF 02/29/04 (%) 3M 0.7 ----------------------------------------- General Electric 2.3 ----------------------------------------- National Semiconductor 0.3 ----------------------------------------- Advanced Micro Devices 0.3 ----------------------------------------- Motorola 0.3 ----------------------------------------- Seagate Technology 0.4 Your fund is actively managed and the composition of its portfolio will change over time. Information provided is calculated as a percentage of net assets. ________________________________________________________________________________ COLUMBIA BALANCED FUND duration would have afforded the fund some protection because interest rates and bond prices move in opposite directions. Instead, interest rates fell and the fund gave up some performance because of this move. TEMPERING EXPECTATIONS Looking ahead, we believe the economy has the potential to continue to expand, but future growth is likely to be somewhat slower as we move from recovery into an economic growth phase. We think there will probably be continued volatility in interest rates as investors try to come to grips with a strong economy and rising commodity prices, on one hand, but little or no rise in job growth on the other. We have positioned the portfolio for a positive economic environment, but may begin to shift our allocations to favor companies that will do well in a slower growing economy.

The Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index is an unmanaged index that measures the return of Treasury bills with maturities of 1-3 years and is intended to provide a benchmark for the prior investment objective and strategy of the fund. The Merrill Lynch 1-5 Year Government/Corporate Index is an unmanaged index that includes all US government debt with at least $100 million face value outstanding, as well as investment-grade rated corporate debt with at least $100 million face value outstanding and a maturity of 1-5 years. Unlike the fund, indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Securities in the fund may not match those in an index. AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN AS OF 02/29/04 (%)

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum 4.75% charge for class A shares, the appropriate class B contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the holding period after purchase as follows: through first year - 5%, second year - 4%, third year - 3%, fourth year - 3%, fifth year - 2%, sixth year - 1%, and thereafter - 0%. Class C has a CDSC of 1% which is applicable for the first year only. Class D has a sales charge of 1% and also carries a CDSC of 1% that is applied to shares sold within the first year after they are purchased. For class G shares, the CDSC for the holding period after purchase is as follows: through first year - 5%, second year - 4%, third year - 4%, fourth year - 4%, fifth year - 3%, sixth year - 2%, seventh year - 1%, thereafter - 0%. For class T shares, the "with sales charge" returns include the maximum 4.75% charge. Effective October 13, 2003, class D shares are closed to all new investors and new accounts. Existing class D shareholders will be able to make additional purchases at any time. In addition, the class D sales charge of 1% is waived after October 13, 2003. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the advisor or its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower. Classes A, B, D, G and T (newer class shares) share performance information includes returns of the fund's class Z shares (the oldest existing fund class) for periods prior to the inception of the newer class shares. The returns for class C include the returns of class B prior to 10/13/03, the date on which class C was initially offered by the fund. The returns shown for class C also include the performance of class Z prior to the inception of class B (11/01/02). Class Z share returns are not restated to reflect any expense differential (e.g., Rule 12b-1 fees) between class Z shares and the newer class shares. Had the expense differential been reflected, the returns for the periods prior to the inception of classes A, B, C, D, G and T would have been lower. 29 Sidebar: SUMMARY o FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2004, THE FUND'S CLASS A SHARES RETURNED 1.89% WITHOUT SALES CHARGE. o THE FUND'S RETURN WAS HIGHER THAN THE MERRILL LYNCH 1-3 YEAR TREASURY INDEX, BUT LESS THAN THE MERRILL LYNCH 1-5 YEAR GOVERNMENT/CORPORATE INDEX AND THE LIPPER SHORT TERM INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT CATEGORY AVERAGE. o THE FUND'S EMPHASIS ON BOTH SHORT-TERM FLOATING RATE NOTES AND LONGER-TERM SECURITIES WITHIN THE FUND'S MATURITY RANGE AIDED PERFORMANCE DURING THE PERIOD.

The fund's performance was higher than the benchmark Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index, which returned 1.75%, and lower than the Merrill Lynch 1-5 Year Government/Corporate Index, which returned 2.84%, during the period. The fund slightly underperformed its peer group. The Lipper Short Term Investment Grade Debt Category average was 2.02%.1 The fund's "barbell" structure--emphasizing short-term floating rate notes and longer-term securities within the fund's maturity range--aided performance during the period. BONDS PERFORMED WELL EVEN AS THE ECONOMY IMPROVED Most economic indicators were strong throughout the second half of 2003, highlighted by impressive third-quarter GDP growth of 8.2%. Fourth quarter GDP growth of 4.1% was moderate by comparison, but still indicative of a recovering economy. Although interest rates tend to rise as economic activity picks up, the Federal Reserve Board has maintained a monetary policy aimed at keeping interest rates low because inflationary pressures have not materialized and the job market has remained sluggish. The Fed left a key short-term interest rate--the fed funds rate--unchanged at just 1.0% throughout the period. Against this backdrop, rates on 2-year Treasury notes fell by 33 basis points and the 5-year Treasury rate declined by 53 basis points. A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percent. The market environment that prevailed during the period favored fixed-income investments with longer maturities. Generally speaking, risk-taking was rewarded throughout the bond market, as lower-quality securities consistently outperformed investment grade bonds. These trends were modestly negative for the fund, which focuses on higher-quality short-term bonds. BARBELL APPROACH OFFSETS IMPACT OF SHORTER DURATION The fund was able to generate a competitive return even though its overall duration was shorter than that of the benchmark. Duration is a measure of interest rate sensitivity. By keeping the fund's duration short while interest rates declined, we gave up some performance relative to the market. However we more than made up for that decision with the fund's "barbell" investment approach--combining short-term floating rate instruments with securities at the long end of our maturity spectrum (five years). The floating rate securities carried higher yields than Treasury securities of comparable maturities, while the longer-term securities increased in value as long-term rates declined. 1 Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return for mutual funds with similar investment objectives as those of the fund. 30 Sidebar: PORTFOLIO QUALITY AS OF 02/29/04 (%) Aaa 37.1 ---------------------------------- Aa 11.4 ---------------------------------- A 20.0 ---------------------------------- Baa 10.3 ---------------------------------- Agency 17.4 ---------------------------------- Treasury 3.8 Portfolio quality is calculated as a percentage of total investments.

Portfolio composition and holdings discussed are calculated as a percentage of net assets. ________________________________________________________________________________ COLUMBIA SHORT TERM BOND FUND We also repositioned the fund's mortgage investments during the period. We modestly shifted away from conventional pass-through securities in favor of structured instruments, such as collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). This move was designed to defend against changes in mortgage prepayment activity. Mortgage prepayments have been quite high due to low mortgage rates. But if rates rise and the level of prepayments drops, it would hurt the value of conventional mortgage bonds. Separately, we increased our position in corporate bonds from 32% to 39% of the portfolio. As yields on corporate bonds came down during the period, their prices rose and this move aided overall performance. PREPARING FOR HIGHER INTEREST RATES We expect the economy to continue to expand throughout 2004. If the economy lives up to this estimate, we expect economic growth to translate into higher short-term interest rates, especially if the labor market begins to improve. Although the timing of such an upward shift is impossible to pinpoint, the portfolio's shorter-than-average duration and its emphasis on floating rate securities make it well positioned for such a scenario, and our emphasis on relatively well-structured mortgage-related securities should provide additional protection.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum 4.75% charge for class A shares and the appropriate class B contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the holding period after purchase as follows: through first year - 5%, second year - 4%, third year - 3%, fourth year - 3%, fifth year - 2%, sixth year - 1%, and thereafter - 0%. Class C has a CDSC of 1% which is applicable for the first year only. Class D has a sales charge of 1% and also carries a CDSC of 1% that is applied to shares sold within the first year after they are purchased. Effective October 13, 2003, class D shares are closed to all new investors and new accounts. Existing class D shareholders will be able to make additional purchases at any time. In addition, the class D sales charge of 1% is waived after October 13, 2003. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the advisor or its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower. Classes A, B, and D (newer class shares) share performance information includes returns of the fund's class Z shares (the oldest existing fund class) for periods prior to the inception of the newer class shares. The returns for class C include the returns of class B prior to 10/13/2003, the date on which class C was initially offered by the fund. The returns shown for class C also include the performance of class Z prior to the inception of class B (11/01/02). Class Z share returns are not restated to reflect any expense differential (e.g., Rule 12b-1 fees) between class Z shares and the newer class shares. Had the expense differential been reflected, the returns for the periods prior to the inception of classes A, B, C and D would have been lower. 32 Sidebar: SUMMARY o FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2004, THE FUND'S CLASS A SHARES RETURNED 4.28% WITHOUT SALES CHARGE. o THE FUND UNDERPERFORMED ITS BENCHMARK, THE LEHMAN BROTHERS AGGREGATE BOND INDEX, AS WELL AS ITS PEER GROUP, THE LIPPER CORPORATE DEBT FUNDS A RATED CATEGORY. o THE FUND'S RELATIVELY CONSERVATIVE POSITIONING HURT ITS RELATIVE RETURN IN A PERIOD WHEN MORE SPECULATIVE SECURITIES OUTPERFORMED.

By comparison, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index and the Lipper Corporate Debt Funds A Rated Category average returned 4.92% and 5.19%, respectively, over the same period.1 We believe the fund trailed its benchmark and peer group primarily because of its relatively conservative positioning: it carried a duration that was slightly shorter than the index while interest rates were falling. And, its average credit quality was higher than the market at a time when lower-rated bonds outperformed higher-rated bonds. Duration is a measure of interest rate sensitivity. We shortened duration as a defensive move. With interest rates at historical lows, we wanted to limit the potential for capital erosion if interest rates rose as well as to provide investors with current income. In fact, interest rates fell during the period, and we gave up some short-term performance because of our decision. However, those results were partially offset by the portfolio's increased exposure to corporate bonds, which outperformed during the period. BONDS PERFORMED WELL EVEN AS THE ECONOMY IMPROVED Most economic indicators were strong throughout the second half of 2003, highlighted by impressive third-quarter GDP growth of 8.2%. Fourth quarter GDP growth of 4.1% was more moderate by comparison, but still indicative of a recovering economy. Although interest rates tend to rise as economic activity picks up, the Federal Reserve Board has maintained a monetary policy aimed at keeping interest rates low. With no great build-up in inflation and a sluggish job market, the Fed left a key short-term interest rate--the fed funds rate--unchanged at just 1.0% throughout the period. Against this backdrop, rates on 5-Year Treasury notes fell by 53 basis points and the 10-year Treasury rate declined by 49 basis points. A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percent. LONGER MATURITIES AND LOWER QUALITY PREVAILED As noted above, declining interest rates favored fixed-income investments with longer maturities, so our relatively short duration modestly decreased performance. The fund also lost some ground because lower-quality securities outperformed the investment grade securities in which the fund exclusively invests. For example, during the period A-rated corporate bonds returned 5.83%, while Baa-rated bonds returned 7.78%--a difference of 1.95 percentage points. We believe that our Baa 1 Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return for mutual funds with similar investment objectives as the fund. 33 Sidebar: PORTFOLIO QUALITY AS OF 02/29/04 (%) Treasury/Agency 40.8 ------------------------------ Aaa 16.3 ------------------------------ Aa 9.3 ------------------------------ A 14.1 ------------------------------ Baa 12.8 ------------------------------ Ba 3.8 ------------------------------ B 2.8 ------------------------------ Caa 0.1 Portfolio quality is calculated as a percentage of total investments.

Portfolio composition and holdings discussed are calculated as a percentage of net assets. ________________________________________________________________________________ COLUMBIA FIXED INCOME SECURITIES FUND weighting was below that of our peer group. Even at the low-quality end of our holdings, we concentrated on bonds that we believed were candidates for a ratings upgrade rather than the marginal credits whose higher yields were in strong demand during the period. MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS REPOSITIONED We also repositioned the fund's mortgage investments during the period. We shifted away from 30-year conventional pass-through securities in favor of 15-year securities and structured instruments, such as collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). This move was designed to defend against changes in mortgage prepayment activity. Mortgage prepayments have been quite high due to low mortgage rates. But if rates rise and the level of prepayments drops, it would hurt the value of conventional mortgage bonds. Separately, we increased our position in corporate bonds from 41% to 43% of the portfolio. As yields on corporate bonds came down during the period, their prices rose, and this move aided overall performance. PREPARING FOR HIGHER INTEREST RATES We expect the economy to continue to expand throughout 2004. At some point we expect this growth to translate into higher interest rates. Although the timing of an upward shift in rates is impossible to pinpoint, the portfolio's shorter-than-average duration makes it well positioned for a rising-rate scenario, and our shift from pass-throughs to CMOs has the potential to provide additional protection.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum 4.75% charge for class A shares, the appropriate class B contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the holding period after purchase as follows: through first year - 5%, second year - 4%, third year - 3%, fourth year - 3%, fifth year - 2%, sixth year - 1%, and thereafter - 0%. Class C has a CDSC of 1% which is applicable for the first year only. Class D has a sales charge of 1% and also carries a CDSC of 1% that is applied to shares sold within the first year after they are purchased. Effective October 13, 2003, class D shares are closed to all new investors and new accounts. Existing class D shareholders will be able to make additional purchases at any time. In addition, the class D sales charge of 1% is waived after October 13, 2003. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the advisor or its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower. Classes A, B, and D (newer class shares) share performance information includes returns of the fund's class Z shares (the oldest existing fund class) for periods prior to the inception of the newer class shares. The returns for class C include the returns of class B prior to 10/13/03, the date on which class C was initially offered by the fund. The returns shown for class C also include the performance of class Z prior to the inception of class B (11/01/02). Class Z share returns are not restated to reflect any expense differential (e.g., Rule 12b-1 fees) between class Z shares and the newer class shares. Had the expense differential been reflected, the returns for the periods prior to the inception of classes A, B, C, and D would have been lower. 35 Sidebar: SUMMARY o FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD THAT ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2004, THE FUND'S CLASS A SHARES RETURNED 6.28% WITHOUT SALES CHARGE. o THE FUND'S RETURN WAS SLIGHTLY LESS THAN THE RETURN FOR ITS BENCHMARK, THE LEHMAN BROTHERS MUNICIPAL BOND INDEX, AND THE AVERAGE FOR ITS PEER GROUP, THE LIPPER GENERAL MUNICIPAL DEBT FUNDS CATEGORY. o ALTHOUGH THE FUND'S FOCUS ON MUNICIPAL BONDS WITH LONGER INTERMEDIATE MATURITIES HELPED GENERATE A STRONG ABSOLUTE RETURN, WE BELIEVE THAT ITS SHORTER DURATION OVERALL ACCOUNTED FOR A SLIGHT SHORTFALL RELATIVE TO ITS BENCHMARK AND PEER GROUP.

It fell just short of the return on its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, which was 6.52% over the same period. The fund also trailed the average return of the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds Category, which was 6.44%.1 Our focus on municipal bonds with intermediate maturities at the longer end of the range as well as non-rated bonds helped the fund's return. A slightly shorter duration [see sidebar on next page] overall modestly hampered relative returns as interest rates trended down. MORE FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR MUNICIPAL BONDS After a period of volatile performance in the summer of 2003, municipal bonds rebounded during the six months covered by this report. Although economic growth was strong, inflation remained in check because of weak job growth and excess capacity in the manufacturing sector. With little likelihood of a near-term rise in interest rates, bond yields drifted lower and bond prices moved higher. The combination of sluggish job growth and federal tax cuts lowered revenues to state and local governments, leading to heavier-than-usual issuance of municipal bonds in 2003. Demand for muni bonds remained strong, although added supply put pressure on the prices of existing bonds. FOCUS ON LONGER BONDS AND INCREASED GEOGRAPHIC DIVERSIFICATION The fund continued to concentrate on high-quality issues diversified nationally across both states and sectors. We focused on muni bonds with maturities between 10 and 20 years. This structure benefited performance, as interest rates for longer maturity bonds dropped more than those for shorter maturity munis. Since bond prices tend to move up as interest rates move down, prices on longer maturity bonds did better than those on shorter maturity bonds. The fund's non-rated muni bonds did well in an environment where investors were willing to take on more risk for higher returns. We trimmed some of our non-rated holdings and shifted the proceeds into higher-quality bonds that helped increase the fund's geographic diversification. As part of our diversification effort, we also reduced the fund's exposure to Oregon and Illinois bonds from approximately 27% to 22% of net assets. 1 Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return for mutual funds with similar investment objectives as the fund. 36 Sidebar: PORTFOLIO QUALITY AS OF 02/29/04 (%) Aaa 60.1 -------------------------------- Aa 16.8 -------------------------------- A 5.8 -------------------------------- BBB 1.0 -------------------------------- Non Rated 12.2 -------------------------------- Net Cash & equivalents 4.1 Ratings shown represent the highest rating assigned to a particular bond by one of the nationally-recognized rating agencies: Standard and Poor's Corporation, Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Fitch Investors Service, Inc.

ABOUT DURATION Duration is a measure, expressed in years, of interest-rate sensitivity. It is similar to maturity, but because it takes into consideration the entire stream of future principal and interest payments and how long it will take to collect them, it is a more complex and more accurate measure of a fund's exposure to changing interest rates. Because we are active duration managers, we tend to use duration as a tactical tool to anticipate or respond to interest rate changes. Because bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions, we lower duration when we expect interest rates to rise and we raise duration when we expect interest rates to fall. This adjustment provides the potential to benefit performance. If we are wrong and interest rates rise after we lengthen duration, or fall after we shorten duration, fund performance could be hurt. ________________________________________________________________________________ COLUMBIA NATIONAL MUNICIPAL BOND FUND POTENTIAL FOR IMPROVING MUNICIPAL BOND ENVIRONMENT Our outlook is for a more stable environment in the municipal bond market for the period ahead. Low mortgage rates and steady real estate prices should continue to support the housing market and consumer spending despite weak job growth. If economic growth remains solid, state and local governments can expect tax revenues to move higher. This, in turn, would aid balance sheets and slow credit downgrades. With less financial pressure, states and local governments would also be able to reduce issuance, creating a better environment for existing bonds. The presidential election is a wildcard, as the candidates' tax policies would likely have different effects on state and local revenues and the creation of additional investments with tax incentives. Going forward, we plan to focus the fund on the longer end of the intermediate maturity range, targeting issues with 8- to 20-year maturities. We think this part of the market represents the best return opportunities in an environment with the potential for volatile or rising interest rates. We also intend to reduce the fund's already small position in bonds that are subject to the alternative minimum tax.

The value of the fund shares will be affected by interest rate changes and the creditworthiness of issues held in the funds. Interest income from certain tax-exempt bonds may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals and corporations. 37 Sidebar: PERFORMANCE OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT 03/01/94 - 02/29/04 ($) SALES CHARGE WITHOUT WITH ----------------------------------- Class A 17,195 16,378 ----------------------------------- Class B 17,027 17,027 ----------------------------------- Class C 17,046 17,046 ----------------------------------- Class D 17,112 16,935 ----------------------------------- Class Z 17,288 n/a Performance data quoted represents past performance and current performance may be lower or higher.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum 4.75% charge for class A shares, the appropriate class B contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the holding period after purchase as follows: through first year - 5%, second year - 4%, third year - 3%, fourth year - 3%, fifth year - 2%, sixth year - 1%, and thereafter - 0%. Class C has a CDSC of 1% which is applicable for the first year only. Class D has a sales charge of 1% and also carries a CDSC of 1% that is applied to shares sold within the first year after they are purchased. Effective October 13, 2003, class D shares are closed to all new investors and new accounts. Existing class D shareholders will be able to make additional purchases at any time. In addition, the class D sales charge of 1% is waived after October 13, 2003. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the advisor or its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower. Classes A, B, and D (newer class shares) share performance information includes returns of the fund's class Z shares (the oldest existing fund class) for periods prior to the inception of the newer class shares. The returns for class C include the returns of class B prior to 10/13/03, the date on which class C was initially offered by the fund. The returns shown for class C also include the performance of class Z prior to the inception of class B (11/01/02). Class Z share returns are not restated to reflect any expense differential (e.g., Rule 12b-1 fees) between class Z shares and the newer class shares. Had the expense differential been reflected, the returns for the periods prior to the inception of classes A, B, C, and D would have been lower. 38 Sidebar: SUMMARY o FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD THAT ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2004, THE FUND'S CLASS A SHARES RETURNED 6.49% WITHOUT SALES CHARGE. o THE FUND'S RETURN WAS HIGHER THAN ITS BENCHMARK, THE LEHMAN BROTHERS GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND INDEX, AND THE AVERAGE RETURN FOR ITS PEER GROUP, THE LIPPER OREGON MUNICIPAL DEBT FUNDS CATEGORY. o THE FUND'S STRONG PERFORMANCE WAS THE RESULT OF OUR CONCENTRATION ON MUNICIPAL BONDS WITH INTERMEDIATE MATURITIES, WHICH DID BETTER THAN BONDS WITH EITHER LONG OR SHORT MATURITIES.

This was higher than the fund's benchmark, the Lehman Brothers General Obligation Bond Index, which returned 5.90%. The fund also beat its peer group, the Lipper Oregon Municipal Debt Funds Category, which returned an average of 5.73%.1 The fund's strong performance resulted from its focus on bonds with intermediate maturities, which did better than bonds with either long or short maturities over the period. A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR MUNICIPAL BONDS After a period of volatile performance in the summer of 2003, municipal bonds rebounded during the six months covered by this report. Although economic growth was strong, inflation remained in check because of weak job growth and excess capacity in the manufacturing sector. With little likelihood of a near-term rise in interest rates, bond yields drifted lower and bond prices moved higher. The combination of sluggish job growth and federal tax cuts lowered revenues to state and local governments, leading to heavier-than-usual issuance of municipal bonds nationwide. In Oregon, 2003 muni bond issuance was 60% higher than the previous year. Oregon's economy, which relied heavily on the technology industry in the `90s, remained slightly behind the rest of the country, with higher unemployment and continued budget shortfalls. A recent ballot initiative to cover part of the budget deficit failed, forcing the state to make cuts to balance its 2004-2005 budget and weakening its credit position. During the period, yields on bonds with intermediate maturities dropped more than bonds with short or long maturities. The fund's concentration in the intermediate part of the market benefited performance, as prices on intermediate maturity issues appreciated more than longer or shorter maturity issues. The fund also benefited from its investments in hospital and non-rated bonds. Hospital bonds performed well, as the financial outlook improved for many issuers. The fund's non-rated bonds did well as investors became more willing to take on added risk for higher returns. Certain securities detracted from performance. Multi-family housing bonds hurt performance as low mortgage rates favored individual home ownership over rental housing, which made it difficult for issuers to maintain occupancy levels. In addition, a decline in tourism over the last few years led to cash flow shortfalls at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. We continue to work with the Aquarium to resolve these issues or seek alternatives to enhance the value of the outstanding bonds. 1 Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return for mutual funds with similar investment objectives as the fund. 39 Sidebar: PORTFOLIO QUALITY AS OF 02/29/04 (%) AAA 39.8 -------------------------------- AA 36.9 -------------------------------- A 7.1 -------------------------------- BBB 4.3 -------------------------------- Non rated 10.0 -------------------------------- Net cash & equivalents 1.9 Ratings shown represent the highest rating assigned to a particular bond by one of the nationally-recognized rating agencies: Standard and Poor's Corporation, Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Fitch Investors Service, Inc.

Despite high unemployment, low mortgage rates and steady real estate prices have helped housing prices and consumer spending remain strong. If economic growth remains solid, state and local governments can expect tax revenues to move higher. This, in turn, would aid balance sheets and slow credit downgrades. With less financial pressure, states and local governments would also be able to reduce issuance, creating a better environment for existing bonds. In Oregon specifically, we believe revenue streams are slowly starting to pick up. Near term the state may continue to have budget problems, which would affect credit ratings. However, we expect Oregon's municipal market to benefit from a healthy, although lower, level of issuance and continued strong demand. We expect to focus on the longer end of the intermediate maturity range, which we think offers the best opportunity in a gradually improving environment. In an effort to enhance tax-free returns to shareholders, we intend to reduce the fund's exposure to bonds that are subject to the alternative minimum tax. Our goal is also to de-emphasize exposure to the multi-family housing sector and pare back on non-rated bonds. We expect to invest the proceeds in high-quality essential services bonds, including water, sewer and school bonds.

The value of the fund shares will be affected by interest rate changes and the creditworthiness of issues held in the funds. Single-state municipal bond funds pose additional risks due to limited geographical diversification. Interest income from certain tax-exempt bonds may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals and corporations. 40 Sidebar: PERFORMANCE OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT 03/01/94 - 02/29/04 ($) SALES CHARGE WITHOUT WITH ----------------------------------- Class A 19,903 18,966 ----------------------------------- Class B 19,681 19,681 ----------------------------------- Class C 19,675 19,675 ----------------------------------- Class D 19,729 19,532 ----------------------------------- Class Z 19,983 n/a Performance data quoted represents past performance and current performance may be lower or higher.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. The "with sales charge" returns include the maximum 4.75% charge for class A shares and the appropriate class B contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the holding period after purchase as follows: through first year - 5%, second year - 4%, third year - 3%, fourth year - 3%, fifth year - 2%, sixth year - 1%, and thereafter - 0%. Class C has a CDSC of 1% which is applicable for the first year only. Class D has a sales charge of 1% and also carries a CDSC of 1% that is applied to shares sold within the first year after they are purchased. Effective October 13, 2003, class D shares are closed to all new investors and new accounts. Existing class D shareholders will be able to make additional purchases at any time. In addition, the class D sales charge of 1% is waived after October 13, 2003. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the advisor or its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower. Classes A, B, and D (newer class shares) share performance information includes returns of the fund's class Z shares (the oldest existing fund class) for periods prior to the inception of the newer class shares. The returns for Class C include the returns of Class B prior to 10/13/2003, the date on which class C was initially offered by the fund. The returns shown for Class C also include the performance of Class Z prior to the inception of Class B (11/01/02). Class Z share returns are not restated to reflect any expense differential (e.g., Rule 12b-1 fees) between class Z shares and the newer class shares. Had the expense differential been reflected, the returns for the periods prior to the inception of classes A, B, C and D would have been lower. 41 Sidebar: SUMMARY o FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2004, THE FUND'S CLASS A SHARES RETURNED 6.48% WITHOUT SALES CHARGE. o THE FUND'S RETURN WAS LESS THAN ITS BENCHMARK, THE MERRILL LYNCH US HIGH YIELD, CASH PAY ONLY INDEX. o THE FUND TRAILED ITS BENCHMARK PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF ITS RELATIVELY CONSERVATIVE POSITIONING IN A PERIOD WHEN MORE SPECULATIVE SECURITIES OUTPERFORMED.

The fund lagged the Merrill Lynch US High Yield, Cash Pay Only Index, which returned 10.32%. The fund's relative performance was hurt by its emphasis on the higher-quality segment of the high-yield marketplace. The fund generally holds no Caa-rated bonds, which constitute approximately 15% of the index. These ultra low-quality bonds have outperformed B- and Ba-rated bonds for more than a year. The fund suffered from its underweight in industries that are dominated by companies with Caa ratings--specifically, electric utilities, telecom and airlines. The fund's performance was also held back by its overweight positions in health care and gaming, two sectors that lagged the overall market. LOWER QUALITY BONDS PREVAILED The market's preference for lower-rated securities during the period can be traced to several factors. Early in the period, lower-quality bonds enjoyed a substantial yield advantage. As yield-hungry investors poured money into lower quality bonds, companies were able to refinance their debt on advantageous terms and bankruptcy rates began to decline from record levels. Finally, the emergence of a genuine economic recovery in the third quarter of 2003 gave investors hope that many struggling companies would be able to improve their competitive positions. Yet, the overall credit quality of the high-yield market actually declined as measured by the rating agencies (S&P and Moody's) because many more companies were downgraded than upgraded. REDUCED CABLE EXPOSURE AND ADDED TO SATELLITE TELEVISION PROVIDERS The composition of the fund was relatively unchanged during the period. However, we reduced our commitment to the cable sector by selling our positions in Cablevision and Mediacom, which, in our judgment, no longer represented good values. From an operating perspective, we have been concerned that cable as a group has been losing market share to satellite TV, especially in rural markets. In an effort to participate in this trend, we purchased bonds of satellite dish company, Echostar DBS to supplement our existing position in DirecTV Holdings. 42 Sidebar: PORTFOLIO QUALITY AS OF 02/29/04 (%) Baa 4.1 --------------------------- Ba 54.4 --------------------------- B 38.9 --------------------------- Caa 2.6 Portfolio quality is calculated as a percentage of total investments.

If the economic recovery proves unsustainable because it has been built on a combination of factors that may have run their course--historically low interest rates, massive tax cuts and substantial budget deficits--we would enjoy an advantage in having maintained a conservative posture for the fund. The fund's focus on quality hurt relative performance last year, but the yield advantage of low-quality bonds has already contracted sharply. If the economy is stronger than we expect, the fund should benefit from having a shorter-than-average maturity relative to its benchmark, a defensive stance designed to cushion the fund against the possibility of higher interest rates.

TOTAL NET ASSETS $749.7 million NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE AS OF 02/29/04 ($) Class Z 1.00 PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S REPORT______________________________________________________ COLUMBIA DAILY INCOME COMPANY For the six-month period ended February 29, 2004, Columbia Daily Income Company class Z shares returned 0.17%. The Lipper Money Market Funds Category also averaged 0.17% for the period.1 The Federal Reserve Board lowered a key short-term interest rate--the fed funds rate--to 1.0% in June of 2003, and continued to maintain this historically low rate in an effort to stimulate economic growth. As a result, yields on all short-term fixed-income securities were low throughout the period. With the year-over-year inflation rate approximating 2% during 2003, real returns on money-market funds (returns after factoring in inflation) have been in negative territory, a development that has caused considerable frustration for money-market investors. However, the Fed's actions have been deliberate and consistent with textbook economics: Negative real short-term returns provide an incentive for consumers to spend and for businesses to invest. The net expectation of this stimulus is heightened economic activity. And indeed, that's what the economy delivered during the six-month period covered by this report. Third quarter GDP growth was reported at 7.2%, then revised to 8.2%, the fastest pace of growth since the first quarter of 1984. Fourth-quarter growth, was lower, but nonetheless respectable at 4.1%. These advances occurred despite higher prices for oil and other commodities and suggested that a solid economic recovery was underway. Unfortunately, the employment picture has not followed the same upward trajectory. The industrial sector still carries considerable excess capacity, and although the overall unemployment rate has declined from a high point of 6.4% in June 2003, non-farm payroll increases have been well below the levels that ordinarily prevail at this stage of the economic cycle. Until excess capacity is whittled down and the economy begins to add jobs in meaningful numbers, we do not believe we are likely to see the sort of inflationary pressures that might induce the Federal Reserve to raise short-term rates. The chance of a rate increase prior to November is low, given the realities of presidential election year politics. Prevailing 1 Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return for mutual funds with similar investment objectives as those of the fund. 45 Sidebar: PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS AS OF 02/29/04 Seven day current yield 0.36% ------------------------------------- Seven day effective yield 0.36% ------------------------------------- Average days to maturity 34 ________________________________________________________________________________ COLUMBIA DAILY INCOME COMPANY investor opinion, as reflected in the federal funds futures market, indicates the potential for a short-term rate increase toward the end of the year, possibly preceded by a rise in longer-term interest rates. The bottom line is that investors in money market funds are likely to experience negative real returns for months to come. However, the role of a money market fund in your portfolio should be examined in light of your need for diversification and stability as well as for its return potential. Leonard Aplet has managed the fund since 1988 and has been with the advisor and its predecessors since 1987. /s/ Leonard Aplet There is a chance that the fund's investments may not keep pace with the rate of inflation over the long-term. Also, an investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of our investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. 46 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS____________________________________________________________ FEBRUARY 29, 2004 COLUMBIA FUNDS

FUND SHARES Each Fund may issue one billion shares. Each of the Funds, except the Columbia Growth Fund, Columbia Mid Cap Growth Fund, Columbia Small Cap Growth Fund, Columbia Short Term Bond Fund and Columbia Daily Income Company, offer five classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class Z. The Columbia Small Cap Growth Fund and Columbia Daily Income Company offer only Class Z shares. The Columbia Growth Fund offers six classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class G and Class Z. The Columbia Mid Cap Growth Fund 135 ________________________________________________________________________________ FEBRUARY 29, 2004 (UNAUDITED) COLUMBIA FUNDS and Columbia Short Term Bond Fund offer seven classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class G, Class T and Class Z. The Class C shares commenced operations effective October 13, 2003 for all Funds except the Columbia Small Cap Growth Fund and Columbia Daily Income Company. Prior to November 1, 2002, each Fund was single class, which were subsequently renamed Class Z shares. Each share class has its own expense structure. Class A and Class T shares are subject to a front-end sales charge based on the amount of initial investment. Class A and Class T shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $25 million at the time of purchase are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") on shares sold within eighteen months of the time of purchase. Class B and Class G shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares in a certain number of years after purchase, depending on the program under which shares were purchased. Class G shares will convert to Class T shares in eight years after purchase. Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares sold within one year after purchase. Class D shares are subject to a front-end sales charge of 1.00% and a 1.00% CDSC on shares sold within one year after purchase. Effective October 13, 2003, Class D shares are closed to all new investors and new accounts. Existing Class D shareholders will be able to make additional purchases at any time. In addition, the Class D sales charge of 1.00% is waived effective October 13, 2003. Class Z shares are offered continuously at net asset value. There are certain restrictions on the purchase of Class Z shares, as described in each Fund's prospectus. Effective October 13, 2003, the Columbia Special Fund, Columbia Small Cap Fund, and Columbia Strategic Value Fund were renamed Columbia Mid Cap Growth Fund, Columbia Small Cap Growth Fund and Columbia Strategic Investor Fund, respectively. NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. SECURITY VALUATION Equity securities are valued at the last sale price at the close of the principal exchange on which they trade. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the closing bid price on such exchanges or over-the-counter markets. Debt securities generally are valued by a pricing service approved by the Funds' Board of Directors, based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation. Certain debt securities, which tend to be more thinly traded and of lesser quality, are priced based on fundamental analysis of the financial condition of the issuer and the estimated value of any collateral. Valuations developed through pricing techniques may vary from the actual amounts realized upon sale of the securities, and the potential variation may be greater for those securities valued using fundamental analysis. Short-term debt obligations maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in other investment companies are valued at net asset value. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Foreign securities are generally valued at the closing price on the foreign exchange or market on which they trade. If any foreign share prices are not readily available as a result of limited share activity, the 136 ________________________________________________________________________________ FEBRUARY 29, 2004 (UNAUDITED) COLUMBIA FUNDS securities are valued at the last sale price of the local shares in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Funds' shares are determined as of such times. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 2:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such foreign securities and such exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE, which would not be reflected in the computation of the Funds' net asset value. If events materially affecting the values of such foreign securities occur and it is determined that market quotations are not readily available, then these foreign securities will be valued at their fair value using procedures approved by the Board of Directors. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or quotations which management believes are not appropriate, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Board of Directors. Securities in the Columbia Daily Income Company are valued utilizing the amortized cost valuation method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act provided certain conditions are met. This method involves valuing a portfolio security initially at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. FUTURES CONTRACTS Certain Funds may invest in municipal and U.S. Treasury futures contracts. The Funds will invest in these instruments to hedge against the effects of changes in the value of portfolio securities due to anticipated changes in interest rates and/or market conditions, for duration management, or when the transactions are economically appropriate to the reduction of risk inherent in the management of the Funds and not for trading purposes. The use of futures contracts involves certain risks, which include: (1) imperfect correlation between the price movement of the instruments and the underlying securities, (2) inability to close out positions due to differing trading hours, or the temporary absence of a liquid market, for either the instrument or the underlying securities, or (3) an inaccurate prediction by Columbia Management Advisors, Inc. of the future direction of interest rates. Any of these risks may involve amounts exceeding the variation margin recorded in the Funds' Statement of Assets and Liabilities at any given time. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds deposit cash or securities with the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Funds equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin payable or receivable and offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Funds also identify portfolio securities as segregated with the custodian in a separate account in an amount equal to the futures contract. The Funds recognize a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are agreements to exchange one currency for another at a future date at a specified price. These contracts are used to minimize the exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations during the period between trade and settlement date of the contracts. Certain Funds may utilize forward foreign currency exchange contracts in connection with the settlement of purchases and sales of securities. Certain Funds may also enter into these contracts to hedge certain other foreign currency denominated assets. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to hedge the Funds' investments against currency fluctuations. Forward currency contracts are valued daily at the current exchange rate of the underlying currency, resulting in unrealized gains (losses) which become realized at the time the foreign currency contracts are closed or mature. Realized and unrealized gains 137 ________________________________________________________________________________ FEBRUARY 29, 2004 (UNAUDITED) COLUMBIA FUNDS (losses) arising from such transactions are included in net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions. The use of forward currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the prices of the Funds' portfolio securities. While the maximum potential loss from such contracts is the aggregate face value in U.S. dollars at the time the contract was opened, exposure is typically limited to the change in value of the contract (in U.S. dollars) over the period it remains open. The Funds could also be exposed to risk if the counterparties of the contracts are unable to fulfill the terms of the contracts. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS Each Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Funds' investment advisor has determined are creditworthy. The Funds, through their custodian, receive delivery of underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon each Fund's ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Funds seek to assert their rights. DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES Certain Funds may trade securities on other than normal settlement terms, including securities purchased or sold on a "when-issued" basis. This may increase the risk if the other party to the transaction fails to deliver and causes the Funds to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. The Funds identify cash or liquid portfolio securities as segregated with the custodian in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment. INCOME RECOGNITION Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities. Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded on the ex-date, except for certain foreign securities which are recorded as soon after ex-date as the Funds become aware of such, net of non-reclaimable tax withholdings. Awards from class action litigation are recorded as a reduction of cost if the Funds still own the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Funds no longer own the applicable securities, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains. The Columbia Real Estate Equity Fund estimates components of distributions from REITs. Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the related investments. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS The values of all assets and liabilities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at that day's exchange rates. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes. For financial statement purposes, the Funds do not distinguish that portion of gains (losses) on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments. DETERMINATION OF CLASS NET ASSET VALUES All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, as shown on the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of 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 for the Columbia Short Term Bond Fund, Columbia Fixed Income Securities Fund, Columbia National Municipal Bond Fund, Columbia Oregon Municipal Bond Fund and Columbia High Yield Fund. For all other Funds, 138 ________________________________________________________________________________ FEBRUARY 29, 2004 (UNAUDITED) COLUMBIA FUNDS income and 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 a Fund, based on the relative net assets of each class. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS Each Fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income, if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, by distributing in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, each Fund will not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded. FOREIGN CAPITAL GAINS TAXES Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the fund level, at rates ranging from approximately 10% to 30%. The Funds accrue for such foreign taxes on net realized and unrealized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS Dividends from net investment income of the Columbia Real Estate Equity Fund and Columbia Balanced Fund are declared and paid quarterly. Dividends from net investment income of the Columbia Common Stock Fund, Columbia Growth Fund, Columbia International Stock Fund, Columbia Mid Cap Growth Fund, Columbia Small Cap Growth Fund, Columbia Technology Fund and Columbia Strategic Investor Fund are declared and paid annually. Dividends from net investment income of the Columbia Short Term Bond Fund, Columbia Fixed Income Securities Fund, Columbia National Municipal Bond Fund, Columbia Oregon Municipal Bond Fund and Columbia High Yield Fund are declared daily and paid monthly. Dividends from net investment income of the Columbia Daily Income Company are declared and paid daily. Distributions from any net realized gains are generally declared and paid annually for all Funds. Additional distributions of net investment income and capital gains for each Fund may be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors in accordance with federal income tax regulations. 139 ________________________________________________________________________________ FEBRUARY 29, 2004 (UNAUDITED) COLUMBIA FUNDS NOTE 3.

SHAREHOLDER SERVICES FEES The Columbia Mid Cap Growth Fund and Columbia Short Term Bond Fund have adopted shareholder services plans that permit them to pay for certain services provided to Class T shareholders by their financial advisors. The annual service fee may equal up to 0.50% annually for Class T shares, but will not exceed each Fund's net investment income attributable to Class T shares. The Columbia Mid Cap Growth Fund and Columbia Short Term Bond Fund do not intend to pay more than 0.30% and 0.15%, respectively, for annual Class T shareholder services fees. EXPENSE LIMITS AND FEE REIMBURSEMENTS Columbia has agreed to waive advisory fees and reimburse certain expenses to the extent that total expenses (exclusive of distribution and service fees, brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, if any) exceed 1.65% and 0.65% annually of the average daily net assets for the Columbia Technology Fund and Columbia National Municipal Bond Fund, respectively. These arrangements may be revised or discontinued at any time. Columbia has contractually agreed to reimburse certain expenses of the Columbia Short Term Bond Fund to the extent that total expenses (exclusive of distribution and service fees, brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, if any) exceed 0.66% annually of the Fund's average daily net assets. Columbia has agreed to maintain the waiver until May 2004. Prior to November 1, 2003, Columbia voluntarily reimbursed the Columbia Short Term Bond Fund at the annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. In addition, Columbia or its affiliates have voluntarily agreed to reimburse class specific transfer agency fees for the Columbia Short Term Bond Fund to the extent necessary to prevent total annual operating expenses from exceeding 1.64% and 0.98% for Class G and Class T, respectively. Columbia or its affiliates have agreed to maintain the waiver until May 24, 2004. Effective January 1, 2004, Columbia has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fee for the Columbia International Stock Fund at an annual rate of 0.10% on the Fund's average daily net assets. Columbia, at its discretion, may revise or discontinue this arrangement any time. Columbia has agreed to waive a portion of the transfer agent fees for the Columbia International Stock Fund, Columbia Mid Cap Growth Fund and Columbia Strategic Investor Fund. Columbia has agreed to maintain this waiver until May 31, 2004. Thereafter, these arrangements may be revised or discontinued by Columbia at any time. For the six months ended February 29, 2004, Columbia waived transfer agent fees for the Funds based on each class' average daily net assets at the following annual rates: CLASS A CLASS B CLASS C CLASS D CLASS Z ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Columbia International Stock Fund .............. -- 0.11% 0.29% 0.58% 0.10% Columbia Mid Cap Growth Fund .................... 0.01% 0.12% 0.09% 0.09% 0.05% Columbia Strategic Investor Fund .................... -- 0.23% 0.15% 0.15% 0.03% 146 ________________________________________________________________________________ FEBRUARY 29, 2004 (UNAUDITED) COLUMBIA FUNDS CUSTODY CREDITS Each Fund has an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may be reduced by balance credits. The Funds could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if they had not entered into such an agreement. FEES PAID TO OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS The Funds pay no compensation to their officers, all of whom are employees of Columbia or its affiliates. The Funds' Directors may participate in a deferred compensation plan which may be terminated at any time. Obligations of the plan will be paid solely out of the Funds' assets. NOTE 5.

NOTE 6. OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During the six months ended February 29, 2004, the Columbia Strategic Investor Fund used Fleet Institutional Services ("FIS"), a wholly owned subsidiary of FleetBoston, as a broker. Total commissions paid to FIS during the period were $500. NOTE 7. REDEMPTION FEES Effective February 15, 2003, the Columbia International Stock Fund began imposing a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders of Class Z shares who redeem shares held for 60 days or less. Redemption fees, which are retained by the Fund, are accounted for as an addition to paid in capital and are allocated to each class proportionately for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class. Prior to October 9, 2003, redemption fees were recorded as a component of paid-in capital on Class Z shares. For the six months ended February 29, 2004, the redemption fees for the Class Z shares of the Columbia International Stock Fund amounted to $43,624. NOTE 8. LINE OF CREDIT The Funds participate in a $100,000,000 uncommitted line of credit along with the CMG Fund Trust, an affiliated group of funds managed by the investment advisor. The uncommitted line of credit expires on July 2, 2004. For the six months ended February 29, 2004, the average daily loan balance outstanding on 147 ________________________________________________________________________________ FEBRUARY 29, 2004 (UNAUDITED) COLUMBIA FUNDS days where borrowings existed for the Columbia Common Stock Fund was $17,313,000 at a weighted average interest rate of 1.50%. For the six months ended February 29, 2004, the Funds, other than the Columbia Common Stock Fund, did not borrow under these arrangements. NOTE 9. DISCLOSURE OF SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND CONTINGENCIES FOREIGN SECURITIES There are certain additional risks involved when investing in foreign securities that are not inherent with investments in domestic securities. These risks may involve foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, adverse political and economic developments and the possible prevention of currency exchange or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the liquidity of foreign securities may be more limited than that of domestic securities. GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION The Columbia National Municipal Bond Fund has greater than 5% of its total investments at February 29, 2004 invested in debt obligations issued by the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Oregon, Washington. Also on this date, the Columbia Oregon Municipal Bond Fund has greater than 5% of its total investments invested in debt obligations issued by the state of Oregon. The Funds are also invested in each state's respective political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities to obtain funds for various purposes. These Funds are more susceptible to economic and political factors adversely affecting issuers of each respective state's specific municipal securities than are municipal bond funds that are not concentrated to the same extent in these issuers. HIGH-YIELD SECURITIES Investing in high-yield securities may involve greater credit risk and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. Government bonds and other higher quality fixed income securities. These securities are non-investment grade securities, often referred to as "junk bonds." Economic downturns may disrupt the high yield market and impair the ability of issuers to repay principal and interest. Also, an increase in interest rates would likely have an adverse impact on the value of such obligations. Moreover, high-yield securities may be less liquid due to the extent that there is no established retail secondary market and because of a decline in the value of such securities. INDUSTRY FOCUS The Funds may focus their investments in certain industries, subjecting them to greater risk than funds that are more diversified. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Columbia, the Distributor, and certain of their affiliates (collectively, "The Columbia Group") have received information requests and subpoenas from various regulatory and law enforcement authorities in connection with their investigations of late trading and market timing in mutual funds. The Columbia Group has not uncovered any instances where Columbia or the Distributor were knowingly involved in late trading of mutual fund shares. On February 24, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filed a civil complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts against Columbia and the Distributor, alleging that they had violated certain provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with trading activity in mutual fund shares. Also on February 24, 2004, the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") filed a civil complaint in New York Supreme Court, County of New York against Columbia and the Distributor alleging that Columbia and the Distributor had violated certain New York anti-fraud statutes. If either Columbia or the Distributor is unsuccessful in its defense of these proceedings, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor or distributor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could prevent Columbia, the Distributor or any company that is an affiliated person of Columbia and the Distributor from serving as an investment advisor or distributor for any registered investment company, including your fund. Your fund has been informed by Columbia and the Distributor that, if these results occur, they will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit them to continue to serve as your fund's investment advisor and distributor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On March 15, 2004, Columbia and the Distributor entered into agreements in principle with the SEC 148 ________________________________________________________________________________ FEBRUARY 29, 2004 (UNAUDITED) COLUMBIA FUNDS Division of Enforcement and NYAG in settlement of the charges. Under the agreements, Columbia and the Distributor agreed, inter alia, to the following conditions: payment of $70 million in disgorgement; payment of $70 million in civil penalties; an order requiring Columbia and the Distributor to cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and other provisions of the federal securities laws; governance changes designed to maintain the independence of the mutual fund boards of trustees and ensure compliance with securities laws and their fiduciary duties; and retention of an independent consultant to review Columbia's and the Distributor's compliance policies and procedures. The agreement requires the final approval of the SEC. In a separate agreement with the NYAG, the Columbia Group has agreed to reduce mutual fund fees by $80 million over a five-year period. As a result of these matters or any adverse publicity or other developments resulting from them, there may be increased redemptions or reduced sales of fund shares, which could increase transaction costs or operating expenses, or have other adverse consequences for the funds. NOTE 10. COMPARABILITY OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Effective January 29, 2003, the Board of Directors approved a change in the fiscal year end of the Funds from December 31 to August 31. NOTE 11.
