Principal Investment Strategies and Risks
 
 

 
The Enhanced Income Fund invests primarily in a portfolio of fixed income government securities, including non-mortgage securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises, corporate notes and commercial paper and fixed and floating rate asset-backed securities. The Fund’s investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. Investors in this Fund should understand that the net asset value of the Fund will fluctuate, which may result in a loss of the principal amount invested. The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be more volatile and less liquid than its investments in U.S. securities and will be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and sudden economic or political developments. The Fund may make substantial investments in derivative instruments, including options, financial futures, Eurodollar futures contracts, swaps, options on swaps, structured securities and other derivative investments. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. These risks include the risk that a small movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavorable or favorable, in the price of the derivative instrument; the risk of default by a counterparty; and the risk that transactions may not be liquid.
 
The Government Income Fund invests primarily in U.S. government securities and in repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. The Fund’s investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. The Fund’s net asset value and yield are not guaranteed by the U.S. government or by its agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises. The guarantee on U.S. government securities applies only to the underlying securities of the Fund if held to maturity and not to the value of the Fund’s shares. The Fund’s investments in mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risks. These risks may result in greater share price volatility. The Fund may make substantial investments in derivative instruments, including options, financial futures, Eurodollar futures contracts, swaps, options on swaps, structured securities and other derivative investments. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. These risks include the risk that a small movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavorable or favorable, in the price of the derivative instrument; the risk of default by a counterparty; and the risk that transactions may not be liquid.
 
The Inflation Protected Securities Fund invests primarily in inflation protected securities of varying maturities issued by the U.S. Treasury and other U.S. and non-U.S. Government agencies and corporations. The remainder of the Fund’s assets may be invested in other fixed income securities, including U.S. government securities, asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, corporate securities, high yield securities and securities issued by foreign corporate and governmental issuers. Inflation protected securities are fixed income securities whose interest and principal payments are periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. The market value of inflation protected securities is not guaranteed, and will fluctuate in response to changes in real interest rates. Fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. High yield, lower rated fixed income securities involve greater price volatility and present greater risks than higher rated fixed income securities. Fixed income securities issued by foreign or emerging market issuers are less liquid and are subject to greater price volatility than U.S. securities and will be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and fluctuations due to sudden economic or political developments.

What Differentiates Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s Fixed Income Investment Process?
 
 

 
At Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), the goal of our fixed income investment process is to provide consistent, strong performance by actively managing our portfolios within a research-intensive, risk-managed framework.
 
 
 
A key element of our fixed income investment philosophy is to evaluate the broadest global opportunity set to capture relative value across sectors and instruments. Our globally integrated investment process involves managing dynamically along the risk/return spectrum, as we continue to develop value-added strategies through:
 
(1. RIGOROUS SECURITY SELECTION)
 
n  Assess relative value among securities and sectors
 
n  Leverage the vast resources of GSAM in selecting securities for each portfolio
 
(2. PRECISE PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION)
 
n  Team approach to decision making
 
n  Manage risk by avoiding significant sector and interest rate bets
 
n  Careful management of yield curve strategies — while closely managing portfolio duration
 
(RESULT)
 
 
Fixed Income portfolios that:
 
n Include domestic and global investment options, income opportunities, and access to areas of specialization such as high yield
n Capitalize on GSAM’s industry-renowned credit research capabilities
n Use a risk-managed framework to seek total return, recognizing the importance of investors’ capital accumulation goals as well as their need for income

MARKET REVIEW

Government Fixed Income Funds
 
 

 
 
Market Review
 
Low interest rates and strengthening economic data led to continued demand for riskier fixed income assets during the 12 months ended March 31, 2011 (the “Reporting Period”). Indeed, as investors sustained their strong appetite for risky assets, all spread, or non-Treasury, sectors outperformed U.S. Treasuries for the Reporting Period. Interest rates on U.S. government securities declined sharply during the summer of 2010 and then reversed that decline, ending the Reporting Period relatively unchanged versus one year prior.
 
Spread sectors began the Reporting Period under pressure, as the second quarter of 2010 was marked by a significant escalation in market concerns about the solvency of Greece and other peripheral European countries. By May 2010, solvency concerns had grown into a crisis that led to a bailout of Greece by the European Union and International Monetary Fund. With the European sovereign debt crisis weighing on investors’ risk appetite, demand for U.S. government bonds increased on safe-haven demand, while demand for fixed income spread sectors fell. As a result, U.S. government bond yields declined sharply and spread sectors underperformed.
 
As the European debt crisis continued, confidence in the U.S. economic recovery began to falter during the second and third quarters of 2010. Virtually every aspect of the economy lost momentum during these months, including manufacturing, consumer spending and new hiring. While yields on U.S. government bonds continued to decline during the third calendar quarter, spread sectors began to rebound after the brief underperformance in the second calendar quarter. Most spread sectors outperformed U.S. Treasuries during the third calendar quarter, led by the high yield corporate bond sector.
 
In response to the weaker tone in economic data, Federal Reserve Board (Fed) Chairman Ben Bernanke strongly hinted in an August 2010 speech that the Fed would resume asset purchases in an effort to support the economic recovery through what is known as quantitative easing. By the time the Fed began to implement its second round of quantitative easing in November 2010, economic data had already begun to improve. In particular, survey data suggested manufacturing activity was expanding rapidly after the summer slowdown. The markets were also beginning to price stronger economic growth and higher inflation risk into long-term bonds. As a result, 10-year U.S. Treasury yields rose nearly a full percentage point during the fourth calendar quarter of 2010, from approximately 2.5% at the end of September to about 3.4% at the end of December. Spread sectors continued to outperform U.S. Treasuries during the fourth calendar quarter, again led by high yield corporate bonds.
 
As the turn of the calendar year approached, economic prospects appeared to be improving further. The Fed continued its quantitative easing program, and Congress and the Obama administration agreed on new fiscal stimulus, including a payroll tax cut for 2011 that would boost consumers’ disposable income. These measures led to a general upgrade in expectations for 2011 economic growth, which were supported by a string of improving economic data early in the first calendar quarter. In the fixed income market, the reaction was a further increase in long-term U.S. Treasury yields and continued outperformance in the spread sectors. With the Fed holding short-term interest rates near zero and long-term U.S. Treasury yields continuing to move sharply higher, the difference between short-term and long-term bond yields dramatically increased. The increase in the difference between short-term and long-term yields, known as a steepening of the yield curve, reached its peak shortly after the turn of the calendar year — at the steepest levels in modern history.

MARKET REVIEW
 
 

 
With the exception of the housing sector, economic data remained relatively strong through the first quarter of 2011. However, risks to the economy began to grow again, as political unrest emerged in Tunisia, followed by Egypt and the broader Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. For the first time since 2008, oil prices rose above $100 per barrel on concerns about potential supply disruptions. Meanwhile, the European sovereign debt crisis continued to spread to other peripheral countries, adding another element of risk to the outlook. Then, in March 2011, Japan was struck by the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, followed by the disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
 
As the risks to economic growth mounted, U.S. government bond yields began declining again. Between mid-February and mid-March, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell from about 3.75% to below 3.20%. However, the decline in yields was relatively brief. By the end of the Reporting Period, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield was close to 3.50%, above the 2010 year-end level of 3.29%, though still below the approximately 3.83% level seen at the start of the Reporting Period. Meanwhile, spread sectors were relatively resilient throughout the first quarter of 2011, with all major spread sectors outperforming U.S. Treasuries despite the risks that arose.
 
Looking Ahead
 
We are optimistic about U.S. economic growth potential in 2011 and 2012. However, given the downside risks that arose since the turn of the calendar year, we have trimmed our 2011 U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) forecast to 3.2% from 3.5% at the end of 2010, putting us in line with consensus estimates. We also reduced our 2012 GDP forecast from 3.5% to 3.0%, putting us slightly below the consensus. We estimate headline inflation of 1.7% in 2011 and 2.0% in 2012, which is in line with the consensus.
 
At the end of the Reporting Period, the core drivers of U.S. economic growth — consumer spending and business investment — were improving, and we believe this is likely to continue. Consumer spending was benefiting from a rise in real disposable income, which increased nearly 3% year-over-year in January 2011. The rise in disposable income, driven in part by payroll tax cuts passed in late 2010, was allowing consumers to continue to build their savings while maintaining spending growth of approximately 2% year over year. Meanwhile, business investment was still underpinned by strong corporate profits, which were being recycled into spending on machinery and equipment.
 
The combination of higher disposable income and strong business investment provides, in our view, significant support for other areas of the economy. For example, manufacturing activity was expanding rapidly at the end of the Reporting Period, with the U.S. Institute for Supply Management (ISM) manufacturing index reaching a multi-year high in February 2011.
 
The job market, a key weak spot in the economic recovery to date, was also showing signs of life at the end of the Reporting Period. Both jobless claims and the unemployment rate were clearly trending lower, and surveys regarding firms’ hiring intentions suggested further job gains to come. Demand for consumer and business credit, another weak spot in the recovery, also appeared to be growing again based on the Fed’s survey of senior loan officers. The housing market remained an area of weakness, as home prices continued to fall, but we expect demand to pick up in the months ahead, as the weather improves.

MARKET REVIEW
 
 

 
Should economic growth improve, we believe the Fed is likely to come under more pressure in 2011 to raise short-term interest rates. In particular, core inflation (which excludes food and energy prices) appeared, at the end of the Reporting Period, to have bottomed. With more people renting rather than buying a home, the rental price component of core inflation seems likely, we believe, to turn higher. However, we expect inflation to remain relatively low even into 2012 given the amount of slack that is still in the economy. With inflation likely to remain low and growth still facing multiple challenges, we think the Fed will stay on hold throughout 2011.
 
While we think domestic sources of strength can support continued economic growth in the U.S., the risk to this view is that the situations in the MENA region, Europe and Japan may deteriorate further. In particular, further unrest in the Middle East could derail the U.S. expansion through an oil supply shock. At the end of the Reporting Period, that had not happened yet, and a supply shock is not our expectation, but the risk had clearly increased. The situation in Japan was, as of this writing, still developing, and the ultimate impact of events there on the global economy is unknown. We think the key risk for the U.S. is a break in the global supply chain that causes manufacturing or other business activity to slow due to a lack of components produced in Japan. In Europe, the continuing sovereign debt crisis still represented, at the end of the Reporting Period, a potential threat to business and consumer confidence globally.
 
From an investment perspective, we believe the most likely outlook for sustainable U.S. economic growth continues to favor risk assets over U.S. Treasuries over the longer term. We believe that the improvement in U.S. economic fundamentals, coupled with a continuation of low interest rates, should provide a favorable backdrop for risk assets. We continue to see particular opportunity in corporate credit based on the strength of corporate balance sheets and the likelihood of continued strong profits as the U.S. economic expansion persists. In the near term, we intend to take a more cautious stance due to the high degree of uncertainty surrounding the outlook for oil prices, Japan’s economy and European bond markets.

Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund
 
 

 
Investment Objective
 
The Fund seeks to generate return in excess of traditional money market products while maintaining an emphasis on preservation of capital and liquidity.
 
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
 
Below, the Goldman Sachs U.S. Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2011 (the “Reporting Period”).
 
 
How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?
 
A  During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, B, Institutional and Administration Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 0.29%, –0.56%, 0.63% and 0.38%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.55% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund Composite Index (the “Enhanced Income Composite”) during the same period. The Enhanced Income Composite is comprised 50% of the Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and 50% of the One-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index, which generated average annual total returns of 0.37% and 0.73%, respectively, over the same time period.
 
The Fund’s Class IR Shares were launched on July 30, 2010. During the period from inception through March 31, 2011, the Fund’s Class IR Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of 0.53%. This return compares to the 0.29% cumulative total return of the Enhanced Income Composite during the same time period.
 
What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?
 
A  Both top-down and bottom-up strategies had an impact on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. Within our top-down strategies, our cross-sector strategy contributed the most to relative performance. Our cross-sector strategy is one in which we invest Fund assets across a variety of fixed income sectors, including some that may not be included in the Fund’s benchmark. Bottom-up individual issue selection within the corporate bond and government/agency sectors contributed positively.
 
The primary detractor from Fund performance was our duration strategy. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.
 
Which fixed income market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?
 
A  Sector positioning added to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period, with the most positive contribution coming from an overweighted exposure to corporate credit. Corporate bonds overall performed well, strengthened by rather steadily tightening spreads during the second half of the Reporting Period. Spreads are the differential in yields between a particular sector’s securities and U.S. Treasuries.
 
Effective individual selection of government and agency issued debentures also added value to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period, with holdings of inflation-linked Treasury bonds contributing most positively given the increase in break-even inflation late in 2010. Break-even inflation refers to the difference between the nominal yield on a conventional bond and the real yield on an inflation-indexed bond of the same maturity. Selection of corporate bonds also contributed positively to Fund results, with holdings of short-dated financial and industrial corporate bonds particularly helpful.
 
There were no real detractors from a sector allocation or security selection perspective during the Reporting Period.
 
Did the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning strategy help or hurt its results during the Reporting Period?
 
A  Tactical management of the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning detracted from its results during the Reporting Period. During May, June and July, we held a shorter duration than the benchmark index, as we believed contagion

risk from the European bond markets, although contained, could lead to increased risk premia for all indebted sovereigns. However, such positioning hurt performance as bonds strengthened during these months, with U.S. Treasury yields dropping rather steadily and significantly. Volatility in the equity market together with the rising concern about the health of the European banking sector led to reduced investor risk appetite and higher demand for U.S. Treasury securities as a safe haven. We subsequently shifted to a longer duration than the benchmark index in the latter months of 2010 in anticipation of a decrease in market yields. However, this positioning held in November and December also detracted from the Fund’s results, as U.S. Treasury yields actually increased during these months. As mentioned earlier, duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve indicates the spectrum of maturities within a particular sector.
 
How did the Fund use derivatives during the Reporting Period?
 
A  The Fund used Treasury futures and Eurodollar futures during the Reporting Period for the purpose of managing the duration and term structure (Term structure, most often depicted as a yield curve, refers to the term structure of interest rates, which is the relationship between the yield to maturity and the time to maturity for pure discount bonds) of the Fund. The Fund employed credit default swaps to manage the credit profile of the Fund.
 
Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period?
 
A  As indicated earlier, we shifted the Fund’s duration positioning during the Reporting Period as market conditions changed. At the start of the Reporting Period, the Fund maintained a longer duration position than the benchmark index. During the summer months of 2010, the Fund held a shorter duration position than the benchmark index in anticipation of higher market yields. Fund duration was lengthened to a longer position than the benchmark index in the latter months of 2010 in anticipation of a decrease in market yields. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund held a modestly shorter duration relative to the benchmark index.
 
Also, as previously noted, the Fund had an overweighted exposure to corporate credit, which contributed positively to its results during the Reporting Period, as did security selection within the sector. The Fund’s allocation to corporate obligations increased during the Reporting Period due in part to active management decisions and in part to the strong performance of the Fund’s holdings within the sector.
 
How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of March 2011?
 
A  While the Fund is benchmarked to U.S. Treasuries, it continued to hold a portion of its assets in non-Treasury sectors not represented in the benchmark index. Indeed, the Fund maintained exposures to high quality spread, or non-Treasury, sectors throughout the Reporting Period, most notably quasi-government securities, including agency-issued debentures and government-guaranteed corporate bonds, as well as asset-backed securities and investment-grade corporate bonds. The Fund maintained an underweighted exposure to government bonds at the end of the Reporting Period.

1 The net asset value (NAV) represents the net assets of the class of the Fund (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares of the class outstanding. The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges.
 
2 The Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and One-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index, as reported by Merrill Lynch, do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
 
3 The Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund Composite Index is an equal weight blend of the Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and the One-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index. The Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and One-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index, as reported by Merrill Lynch, do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
 
4 The 30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield of the Fund is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share (as defined by securities industry regulations) earned by the Fund over a 30-day period (ending on the stated month-end date) by the maximum public offering price (“POP”) per share of the Fund on the last day of the period. This number is then annualized. This yield does not necessarily reflect income actually earned and distributed by the Fund and, therefore, may not be correlated with the dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders. The 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield does not reflect any applicable expense reductions.

5 The Standardized Average Annual Total Returns are average annual total returns or cumulative total returns (only if the performance is one year or less) as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 1.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class B Shares (5% maximum declining to 0% after six years). Class B shares convert automatically to Class A shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is eight years after purchase. Because Institutional, Class IR and Administration Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Average Annual Total Returns. The Fund’s Class B Shares are no longer available for purchase by new or existing shareholders (although current Class B shareholders may continue to reinvest income and capital gains distributions into Class B Shares, and Class B shareholders may continue to exchange their shares for Class B Shares of certain other Goldman Sachs Funds).
 
The returns represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Performance Summary
March 31, 2011
 
 

 
The following graph shows the value, as of March 31, 2011, of a $10,000 investment made on April 1, 2001 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmarks, the One-Year T-Note Index, and the Six-Month T-Bill Index is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations will cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects expense limitations currently in effect and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance of Class A, Class B and Administration Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
 
Below, the Goldman Sachs U.S. Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2011 (the “Reporting Period”).
 
 
How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?
 
A  During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, Institutional, Service, IR and R Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 3.63%, 2.86%, 2.86%, 3.92%, 3.40%, 3.89% and 3.31%, respectively. These returns compare to the 4.26% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Barclays Capital Government/ Mortgage Index (the “Barclays Capital Index”), during the same time period.
 
What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?
 
A  Both top-down and bottom-up strategies contributed to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. Within our top-down strategies, our cross-sector strategy contributed the most to relative performance. Our cross-sector strategy is one in which we invest Fund assets across a variety of fixed income sectors, including some that may not be included in the Fund’s benchmark. Bottom-up individual issue selection within the collateralized and government/agency sectors also was a key factor contributing positively to the Fund’s performance.
 
The primary detractor from Fund performance was our duration and yield curve strategy. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve indicates the spectrum of maturities within a particular sector.
 
Which fixed income market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?
 
A  Exposure to non-agency mortgage-backed securities was particularly beneficial during the Reporting Period, as strong demand for higher yielding assets, hints of stabilization and even improvement in borrower credit trends, and slower declines in house prices nationally all lent support to this sector. Tactical positioning in agency mortgage-backed securities also benefited the Fund’s results.
 
Individual issue selection within the collateralized sector contributed positively. Our emphasis on agency mortgage-backed securities proved particularly helpful, especially during the latter part of 2010, as risk assets continued to rally amid strengthening U.S. economic data. Within the government/ agency sector, exposure to Treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS) boosted results most. During the second quarter of 2010, the Fund’s exposure to specific longer-dated TIPS contributed to the Fund’s results most. During the third quarter of 2010, the Fund’s overweighted exposure to specific TIPS in the short-dated maturity portion of the yield curve contributed most to performance. Overall, TIPS performed well during the Reporting Period, as inflationary pressures mounted.
 
There were no real detractors from a sector allocation or security selection perspective during the Reporting Period.
 
Did the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning strategy help or hurt its results during the Reporting Period?
 
A  Active U.S. duration positioning was the primary detractor from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. The Fund’s shorter U.S. duration than the Barclays Capital Index from March through July hurt most, as U.S. Treasury yields fell sharply then amid mounting sovereign debt concerns and actions on regulatory reform. The Fund subsequently moved to a longer duration position compared to the Barclays Capital Index in August, driven by our views on the Fed’s anticipated second round of quantitative easing and its potential impact on interest rates. However, this duration positioning also detracted from the Fund’s relative

results as U.S. yields sharply rose during the fourth calendar quarter. We subsequently shortened the Fund’s duration.
 
During the first quarter of 2011, the Fund’s shorter duration bias relative to the Barclays Capital Index detracted, as global bond yields fell in early March on the back of heightened global economic growth concerns. The political upheaval across the Middle East and North Africa drove oil prices significantly higher and Japan’s devastating earthquake and tsunami raised concerns about a disruption in the global supply chain. While maintaining a shorter duration positioning than the Barclays Capital Index, we modestly extended the stance in mid-March as downside risk to global growth increased.
 
How did the Fund use derivatives during the Reporting Period?
 
A  The Fund used Treasury futures and Eurodollar futures to hedge interest rate exposure and to facilitate specific duration and yield curve strategies. Interest rate swaps were used to hedge interest rate exposure and to express an outright term structure view (Term structure, most often depicted as a yield curve, refers to the term structure of interest rates, which is the relationship between the yield to maturity and the time to maturity for pure discount bonds). The Fund employed swaptions (or options on interest rate swap contracts) to hedge and express an outright term structure view.
 
Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period?
 
A  During the Reporting Period, we reduced the Fund’s exposure to agency securities, shifting from a significantly overweighted position to a more modestly overweighted allocation. We increased the Fund’s overweighted exposure to asset-backed securities. Also, as already discussed, we shifted the Fund’s duration positioning throughout the Reporting Period as market conditions changed.
 
How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of March 2011?
 
A  At the end of March 2011, the Fund had overweighted allocations relative to the Barclays Capital Index in quasi-government securities, including government-guaranteed corporate bonds, as well as in asset-backed securities. The Fund had an underweighted exposure relative to the benchmark index in U.S. government securities and a rather neutral allocation compared to the Barclays Capital Index in residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS). The Fund had a position in cash at the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund maintained a neutral duration relative to the Barclays Capital Index at the end of the Reporting Period.

1 The net asset value (NAV) represents the net assets of the class of the Fund (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares of the class outstanding. The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges.
 
2 The Barclays Capital Gov’t/Mortgage Index, an unmanaged index, does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
 
3 The 30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield of the Fund is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share (as defined by securities industry regulations) earned by the Fund over a 30-day period (ending on the stated month-end date) by the maximum public offering price (“POP”) per share of the Fund on the last day of the period. This number is then annualized. This yield does not necessarily reflect income actually earned and distributed by the Fund and, therefore, may not be correlated with the dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders. The 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield does not reflect any applicable expense reductions.

4 The Standardized Average Annual Total Returns are average annual total returns as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 3.75% for Class A Shares, the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class B Shares (5% maximum declining to 0% after six years), and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Class B Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is eight years after purchase. Returns for Class B Shares for the period after conversion reflect the performance of Class A Shares. Because Institutional, Service, Class IR and R Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Average Annual Total Returns. The Fund’s Class B Shares are no longer available for purchase by new or existing shareholders (although current Class B shareholders may continue to reinvest income and capital gains distributions into Class B Shares, and Class B shareholders may continue to exchange their shares for Class B Shares of certain other Goldman Sachs Funds).
 
The returns represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our Website at www.goldmansachsfunds.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
 
Below, the Goldman Sachs U.S. Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Inflation Protected Securities Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2011 (the “Reporting Period”).
 
 
How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?
 
A  During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional, IR and R Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 7.53%, 6.72%, 7.88%, 7.80% and 7.36%, respectively. These returns compare to the 7.91% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. TIPS Index (“Barclays Capital Index”) during the same time period.
 
What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?
 
A  Bottom-up individual issue selection of various maturity Treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”) was the key positive contributor to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period.
 
The primary detractor from Fund performance was our duration and yield curve strategy. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve indicates the spectrum of maturities within a particular sector.
 
Which fixed income market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?
 
A  Individual issue selection of various maturity TIPS as well as an overweighted risk exposure to the sector most significantly affected Fund performance, contributing positively during the Reporting Period. Despite pockets of volatility, TIPS generally performed well during the Reporting Period, as inflationary pressures continued to build, especially as political upheaval across the Middle East and North Africa drove oil prices significantly higher. In addition, our yield curve positioning in the TIPS market contributed positively to Fund results, with the Fund’s overweighted exposure to the 15 to 20 year part of the yield curve helping most.
 
There were no real detractors from a sector allocation or security selection perspective during the Reporting Period.
 
Did the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning strategy help or hurt its results during the Reporting Period?
 
A  Active U.S. duration positioning was the primary detractor from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. The Fund’s shorter U.S. duration bias relative to the Barclays Capital Index early in the Reporting Period hurt most, as U.S. Treasury yields fell sharply then amid mounting sovereign debt concerns and actions on regulatory reform. The Fund subsequently moved to a longer duration position compared to the Barclays Capital Index late in the third quarter of 2010, driven by our views on the Fed’s anticipated second round of quantitative easing and its potential impact on interest rates. However, this duration positioning also detracted from the Fund’s relative results as U.S. yields sharply rose during the fourth calendar quarter. We subsequently shortened the Fund’s duration.
 
During the first quarter of 2011, the Fund’s shorter duration bias relative to the Barclays Capital Index detracted, as global bond yields fell in early March on the back of heightened global economic growth concerns. The political upheaval across the Middle East and North Africa drove oil prices significantly higher and Japan’s devastating earthquake and tsunami raised concerns about a disruption in the global supply chain. While maintaining a shorter duration positioning than the Barclays Capital Index, we modestly extended the stance in mid-March as downside risk to global growth increased.

How did the Fund use derivatives during the Reporting Period?
 
A  The Fund used Treasury futures and Eurodollar futures to hedge interest rate exposure and to facilitate specific duration and yield curve strategies. Interest rate swaps were used to hedge interest rate exposure and to express an outright term structure view (Term structure, most often depicted as a yield curve, refers to the term structure of interest rates, which is the relationship between the yield to maturity and the time to maturity for pure discount bonds). The Fund employed swaptions (or options on interest rate swap contracts) to hedge and express an outright term structure view.
 
Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period?
 
A  As already discussed, we tactically shifted the Fund’s duration positioning throughout the Reporting Period as market conditions changed.
 
How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of March 2011?
 
A  At the end of March 2011, the Fund had approximately 96.0% of its total net assets invested in TIPS, with the remainder in government-guaranteed corporate bonds, covered bonds and cash or cash equivalents. Covered bonds are securities created from either mortgage loans or public sector loans. The Fund maintained just a slightly longer duration position than the benchmark index at the end of the Reporting Period.

This number is then annualized. This yield does not necessarily reflect income actually earned and distributed by the Fund and, therefore, may not be correlated with the dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders. The 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield does not reflect any applicable expense reductions.

4 The Standardized Average Annual Total Returns are average annual total returns as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 3.75% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional, Class IR and R Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Average Annual Total Returns.
 
The returns represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our Website at www.goldmansachsfunds.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

The following graph shows the value, as of March 31, 2011, of a $10,000 investment made on August 31, 2007 (commencement of operations) in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. TIPS Index is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations will cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects expense limitations currently in effect and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance of Class A, Class C, Class IR and Class R Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the investment adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
 
Below, the Goldman Sachs U.S. Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Short Duration Government Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2011 (the “Reporting Period”).
 
 
How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?
 
A  During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, Institutional, Service and IR Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 1.11%, 0.69%, 0.74%, 1.56%, 1.05% and 1.46%, respectively. These returns compare to the 1.54% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bank of America/Merrill Lynch Two-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index, during the same time period. To compare, the Barclays Capital U.S. Government Bond Index (1- 3 Year) returned 1.73% for the Reporting Period.
 
What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?
 
A  Both top-down and bottom-up strategies had an impact on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. Within our top-down strategies, our cross-sector strategy contributed the most to relative performance. Our cross-sector strategy is one in which we invest Fund assets across a variety of fixed income sectors, including some that may not be included in the Fund’s benchmark. Bottom-up individual issue selection within the government/agency sector contributed positively.
 
The primary detractor from Fund performance was our duration strategy. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.
 
Which fixed income market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?
 
A  Sector positioning added to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period, with the most positive contribution coming from an overweighted exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities. Exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities proved especially helpful during the fourth calendar quarter, as the sector outperformed U.S. Treasury securities. This was most evident in October 2010 when the sector generated strong returns amid an environment of benign prepayments and stable to declining volatility.
 
Effective individual selection of government and agency issued debentures also added value to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period, with holdings of both short-dated nominal U.S. Treasury bonds and inflation-linked Treasury bonds contributing most positively. Inflation-linked Treasury bonds boosted results given the increase in breakeven inflation late in 2010. Break-even inflation refers to the difference between the nominal yield on a conventional bond and the real yield on an inflation-indexed bond of the same maturity.
 
There were no real detractors from a sector allocation or security selection perspective during the Reporting Period.
 
Did the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning strategy help or hurt its results during the Reporting Period?
 
A  Tactical management of the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning detracted from its results during the Reporting Period, with the majority of negative return coming from a shorter duration position than the benchmark index during May, June and July of 2010. We held this shorter duration relative to the benchmark index, as we believed contagion risk from the European bond markets, although contained, could lead to increased risk premia for all indebted sovereigns. However, such positioning hurt performance as bonds strengthened during these months, with U.S. Treasury yields dropping rather steadily and significantly. Volatility in the equity market together with the rising concern about the health of the European banking sector led to reduced investor risk appetite and higher demand for U.S. Treasury securities as a safe haven. As mentioned earlier, duration is a measure

of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve indicates the spectrum of maturities within a particular sector.
 
How did the Fund use derivatives during the Reporting Period?
 
A  The Fund used Treasury futures and interest rate swaps during the Reporting Period for the purpose of managing the duration and term structure (Term structure, most often depicted as a yield curve, refers to the term structure of interest rates, which is the relationship between the yield to maturity and the time to maturity for pure discount bonds) of the Fund. The Fund employed swaptions (or options on interest rate swap contracts) to hedge and express an outright term structure view.
 
Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period?
 
A  We shifted the Fund’s duration positioning during the Reporting Period as market conditions changed. During the summer months of 2010, the Fund held a shorter duration position than the benchmark index in anticipation of higher market yields. Fund duration was modestly lengthened to a neutral position relative to the benchmark index in the latter months of 2010. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund held a rather neutral duration relative to the benchmark index.
 
How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of March 2011?
 
A  While the Fund is benchmarked to U.S. Treasuries, it continued to hold a portion of its assets in non-Treasury sectors not represented in the benchmark index. Indeed, the Fund maintained exposures to high quality spread, or non-Treasury, sectors throughout the Reporting Period, most notably quasi-government securities, including agency-issued debentures and government-guaranteed corporate bonds, as well as agency mortgage-backed securities. The Fund maintained an underweighted exposure to government bonds at the end of the Reporting Period.

4 The Standardized Average Annual Total Returns are average annual total returns as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 1.5% for Class A Shares, the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class B Shares (2% maximum declining to 0% after three years) and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase prior to September 30, 2010; 0.65% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase effective September 30, 2010). Class B Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is eight years after purchase. Returns for Class B Shares for the period after conversion reflect the performance of Class A Shares. Because Institutional, Service and Class IR Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Average Annual Total Returns. The Fund’s Class B Shares are no longer available for purchase by new or existing shareholders (although current Class B shareholders may continue to reinvest income and capital gains distributions into Class B Shares, and Class B shareholders may continue to exchange their shares for Class B Shares of certain other Goldman Sachs Funds).
 
The returns represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our Website at www.goldmansachsfunds.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. In their absence, performance would be reduced.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
 
Below, the Goldman Sachs U.S. Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Ultra-Short Duration Government Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2011 (the “Reporting Period”).
 
 
How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?
 
A  During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Institutional, Service and IR Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 0.00%, 0.45%, -0.05% and 0.36%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.55% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Goldman Sachs Ultra-Short Duration Government Fund Composite Index (the “Ultra-Short Duration Government Composite Index”) during the same period. The Ultra-Short Duration Government Composite Index is comprised 50% of the Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and 50% of the One-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index, which generated average annual total returns of 0.37% and 0.73%, respectively over the same period.
 
What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?
 
A  Both top-down and bottom-up strategies had an impact on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. Within our top-down strategies, our cross-sector strategy contributed the most to relative performance. Our cross-sector strategy is one in which we invest Fund assets across a variety of fixed income sectors, including some that may not be included in the Fund’s benchmark. Bottom-up individual issue selection within the collateralized and government/agency sectors contributed positively.
 
The primary detractor from Fund performance was our duration strategy. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.
 
Which fixed income market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?
 
A  Sector positioning added to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period, with the most positive contributions coming from overweighted exposures to both agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities. Exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities proved especially helpful during the fourth calendar quarter, as the sector outperformed U.S. Treasury securities. This was most evident in October 2010 when the sector generated strong returns amid an environment of benign prepayments and stable to declining volatility.
 
Effective individual selection of government and agency issued debentures also added value to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period, with holdings of both short-dated nominal U.S. Treasury bonds and inflation-linked Treasury bonds contributing most positively. Inflation-linked Treasury bonds boosted results given the increase in breakeven inflation late in 2010. Break-even inflation refers to the difference between the nominal yield on a conventional bond and the real yield on an inflation-indexed bond of the same maturity. Selection of collateralized securities also contributed positively to Fund results, with holdings of adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) particularly helpful.
 
There were no real detractors from a sector allocation or security selection perspective during the Reporting Period.
 
Did the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning strategy help or hurt its results during the Reporting Period?
 
A  Tactical management of the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning detracted from its results during the Reporting Period, with the majority of negative return coming from a shorter duration position than the benchmark index during May, June and July of 2010. We held this shorter duration than the benchmark index, as we believed contagion risk from the European bond markets, although contained, could lead to increased risk premia for all indebted sovereigns.

However, such positioning hurt performance as bonds strengthened during these months, with U.S. Treasury yields dropping rather steadily and significantly. Volatility in the equity market together with the rising concern about the health of the European banking sector led to reduced investor risk appetite and higher demand for U.S. Treasury securities as a safe haven. We subsequently shifted to a longer duration than the benchmark index in the latter months of 2010 in anticipation of a decrease in market yields. However, this positioning held in November and December also detracted from the Fund’s results, as U.S. Treasury yields actually increased during these months. As mentioned earlier, duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve indicates the spectrum of maturities within a particular sector.
 
How did the Fund use derivatives during the Reporting Period?
 
A  The Fund used Treasury futures, Eurodollar futures and interest rate swaps during the Reporting Period for the purpose of managing the duration and term structure (Term structure, most often depicted as a yield curve, refers to the term structure of interest rates, which is the relationship between the yield to maturity and the time to maturity for pure discount bonds) of the Fund. The Fund employed swaptions (or options on interest rate swap contracts) to hedge and express an outright term structure view.
 
Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period?
 
A  As indicated earlier, we shifted the Fund’s duration positioning during the Reporting Period as market conditions changed. During the summer months of 2010, the Fund held a shorter duration position than the benchmark index in anticipation of higher market yields. Fund duration was lengthened to a longer position than the benchmark index in the latter months of 2010 in anticipation of a decrease in market yields. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund held a modestly shorter duration relative to the benchmark index.
 
How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of March 2011?
 
A  While the Fund is benchmarked to U.S. Treasuries, it continued to hold a portion of its assets in non-Treasury sectors not represented in the benchmark index. Indeed, the Fund maintained exposures to high quality spread, or non-Treasury, sectors throughout the Reporting Period, most notably quasi-government securities, including agency-issued debentures and government-guaranteed corporate bonds, as well as agency mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. The Fund maintained an underweighted exposure to government bonds at the end of the Reporting Period.

1 The net asset value (NAV) represents the net assets of the class of the Fund (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares of the class outstanding. The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges.
 
2 The Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and One-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index, as reported by Bank of America Merrill Lynch, do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
 
3 The Goldman Sachs Ultra-Short Duration Gov’t Fund Composite Index is an equal weight blend of the Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and the One-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index. The Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and One-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index, as reported by Merrill Lynch, do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index.
 
4 The 30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield of the Fund is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share (as defined by securities industry regulations) earned by the Fund over a 30-day period (ending on the stated month-end date) by the maximum public offering price (“POP”) per share of the Fund on the last day of the period. This number is then annualized. This yield does not necessarily reflect income actually earned and distributed by the Fund and, therefore, may not be correlated with the dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders. The 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield does not reflect any applicable expense reductions.

5 The Standardized Average Annual Total Returns are average annual total returns as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 1.5% for Class A Shares. Because Institutional, Service and Class IR Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Average Annual Total Returns.
 
The returns represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our Website at www.goldmansachsfunds.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Applicable waivers and expense limitations may be modified or terminated in the future, consistent with the terms of any agreements in place. If this occurs, the expense ratios may change without shareholder approval.

7 The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of net assets. Short-term investments represent repurchase agreements. Figures in the above graph may not sum to 100% due to the exclusion of other assets and liabilities.
 
8 “Government Guarantee Obligations” are guaranteed under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (“FDIC”) Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program or a foreign government guarantee program and are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States or the government of a foreign country. The expiration date of the FDIC’s guarantee is the earlier of the maturity date of the debt or June 30, 2012 and the expiration date of a foreign country guarantee is the maturity date of the debt.
 
9 “Federal Agencies” are mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (“FHLMC”). GNMA instruments are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
 
10 “Agency Debentures” include agency securities offered by companies such as FNMA and FHLMC, which operate under a government charter. While they are required to report to a government regulator, their assets are not explicitly guaranteed by the government and they otherwise operate like any other publicly traded company.

Performance Summary
March 31, 2011
 
 

 
The following graph shows the value, as of March 31, 2011, of a $10,000 investment made on April 1, 2001 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmarks, the One-Year T-Note Index, Six-Month T-Bill Index, and the Barclays Capital U.S. (1-2 Year) Index, is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations will cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects expense limitations currently in effect and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance of Class A, Service and Class IR Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

(a) Credit spread on the Referenced Obligation, together with the term of the swap contract, are indicators of payment/performance risk. The likelihood of a credit event occurring which would require a fund to make a payment or otherwise be required to perform under the swap contract is generally greater as the credit spread and the term of the swap contract increase.

1. ORGANIZATION
 
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The following table lists those series of the Trust that are included in this report (collectively, the “Funds” or individually a “Fund”), along with their corresponding share classes and respective diversification status under the Act:
 
         
        Diversified/
Fund   Share Classes Offered*   Non-diversified
 
Enhanced Income
  A, B, Institutional, Administration and IR   Diversified
 
 
Government Income
  A, B, C, Institutional, Service, IR and R   Diversified
 
 
Inflation Protected Securities
  A, C, Institutional, IR and R   Diversified
 
 
Short Duration Government
  A, B, C, Institutional, Service and IR   Diversified
 
 
Ultra-Short Duration Government
  A, Institutional, Service and IR   Diversified
 
 
 
* Class B Shares are generally no longer available for purchase by current or prospective investors.
 
Class A Shares of the Enhanced Income, Government Income, Inflation Protected Securities, Short Duration Government and Ultra-Short Duration Government Funds are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 1.50%, 3.75%, 3.75%, 1.50% and 1.50%, respectively. Class B Shares were sold with a contingent deferred sales charge that declines from 5.00% to zero (2.00% to zero for Short Duration Government Fund), depending upon the period of time the shares are held. Class C Shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% during the first 12 months. Effective September 30, 2010, the contingent deferred sales charge on Class C Shares of the Short Duration Government Fund was reduced to 0.65%. Institutional, Administration, Service, Class IR and Class R Shares are not subject to a sales charge. Class IR Shares of the Enhanced Income Fund commenced operations on July 30, 2010.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to each Fund pursuant to a management agreement (each, an “Agreement”) with the Trust.
 
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. 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 may affect the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
 
A. Investment Valuation — The investment valuation policy of the Funds is to value investments at market value. Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued on the basis of quotations furnished by an independent pricing service approved by the trustees or provided by securities dealers. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value. If accurate quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of the Funds’ investments may be determined based on yield equivalents, a pricing matrix or other sources, under valuation procedures

GOLDMAN SACHS SHORT DURATION AND GOVERNMENT FIXED INCOME FUNDS
 
 

 
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
established by the trustees. Short-term debt obligations that mature in sixty days or less and that do not exhibit signs of credit deterioration are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Investments in equity securities and investment companies traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If no sale occurs, such securities and investment companies are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price. In the absence of market quotations, broker quotes will be utilized or the security will be fair valued. Investments in investment companies (other than those that are exchange traded) are valued at the net asset value per share (“NAV”) of the investment company on the valuation date.
GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the previous closing prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining the Funds’ NAV. Significant events that could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: situations relating to one or more single issuers in a market sector; significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions or market closings; equipment failures; natural or man-made disasters or acts of God; armed conflicts; government actions or other developments; as well as the same or similar events which may affect specific issuers or the securities markets even though not tied directly to the securities markets. Other significant events that could relate to a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs; corporate announcements, including those relating to earnings, products and regulatory news; significant litigation; low trading volume; and trading limits or suspensions.
 
B. Security and Fund Share Transactions, and Investment Income — Security and Fund share transactions are reflected for financial reporting purposes as of the trade date, which may cause the NAV as stated in the accompanying financial statements to be different than the NAV applied to Fund share transactions. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign withholding taxes, if any, which are reduced by any amounts reclaimable by the Funds, where applicable. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted. Realized gains and losses resulting from principal paydowns on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are included in interest income. Market discounts, original issue discount and market premiums on debt securities are accreted/amortized to interest income over the life of the security with a corresponding adjustment in the cost basis of that security. In addition, it is the Funds’ policy to accrue for foreign capital gains taxes, if applicable, on certain foreign securities held by the Funds. An estimated foreign capital gains tax is recorded daily on net unrealized gains on these securities and is payable upon the sale of such securities when a gain is realized.
Investment income and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of the respective Fund based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
 
C. Expenses — Expenses incurred by the Funds, which may not specifically relate to the Funds, may be shared with other registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates, as appropriate. These expenses are allocated to the Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses and are accrued daily. Non-class specific expenses are allocated daily to each share class of the respective Fund based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service, Transfer Agent, and Service fees.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Funds are not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly, and capital gains distributions, if any are declared and paid annually.
 
Net capital losses are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income, net realized gain or capital. The Funds’ certain components of net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.
 
E. Futures Contracts — Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price, or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds deposit cash or securities in an account on behalf of 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 receivable or payable with a corresponding offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Funds recognize a realized gain or loss when a contract is closed or expires.
The use of futures contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of market and counterparty risk which may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts may be illiquid, and exchanges may limit fluctuations in futures contract prices during a single day. Changes in the value of a futures contract may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. These risks may decrease the effectiveness of the Funds’ strategies and potentially result in a loss. The Funds must set aside liquid assets, or engage in other appropriate measures to cover their obligations under these contracts.
 
F. Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities — The Funds may invest in mortgage-backed and/or asset-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by residential and/or commercial real property. These securities may include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, real estate mortgage investment conduit pass-through or participation certificates and stripped mortgage-backed securities. Asset-backed securities include securities whose principal and interest payments are collateralized by pools of assets such as auto loans, credit card receivables, leases, installment contracts and personal property. Asset-backed securities also include home equity line of credit loans and other second-lien mortgages.
The value of certain mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities (including adjustable rate mortgage loans) may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. The value of these securities may also fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Early repayment of principal on mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities may expose a Fund to the risk of earning a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. Asset-backed securities may present credit risks that are not presented by mortgage-backed securities because they generally do not have the benefit of a security interest in collateral that is comparable to mortgage assets. Some asset-backed securities may only have a subordinated claim on collateral. In addition, while mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may be supported by some form of

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers, if any, will meet their obligations.
Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two different classes: one that receives substantially all of the interest payments (the interest-only, or “IO” and/or the high coupon rate with relatively low principal amount, or “IOette”), and the other that receives substantially all of the principal payments (the principal-only, or “PO”) from a pool of mortgage loans. Little to no principal will be received at the maturity of an IO; as a result, periodic adjustments are recorded to reduce the cost of the security through maturity. These adjustments are included in interest income. Payments received for PO’s are treated as a proportionate reduction to the cost basis of the securities and excess amounts are recorded as gains.
 
G. Mortgage Dollar Rolls — Certain Funds may enter into mortgage dollar rolls (“dollar rolls”) in which the Funds sell securities in the current month for delivery and simultaneously contracts with the same counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon and maturity) but not identical securities on a specified future date. The Funds treat dollar rolls as two separate transactions: one involving the purchase of a security and a separate transaction involving a sale.
During the settlement period between sale and repurchase, the Funds will not be entitled to accrue interest and principal payments on the securities sold. Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities sold by the Funds may decline below the repurchase price of those securities. In the event the buyer of the securities in a dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Funds’ use of proceeds from the transaction may be restricted pending a determination by, or with respect to, the other counterparty.
 
H. Options — When the Funds write call or put options, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. Swaptions are options on interest rate swap contracts. Options on a futures contract may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. When a written option expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Funds enter into a closing purchase transaction, the Funds realize a gain or loss without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying future, swap, security or currency transaction, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. When a written call option is exercised, the Funds realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying future, swap, security or currency transaction, and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium originally received. When a written put option is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received will reduce the cost of the future, swap, security or currency transaction that the Funds purchase upon exercise. There is a risk of loss from a change in value of such options which may exceed the related premiums received. The Funds must set aside liquid assets, or engage in other appropriate measures to cover their obligations under written option contracts.
Upon the purchase of a call option or a put option by the Funds, the premium paid is recorded as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied voluntary parameters at specified terms. If an option which the Funds have purchased expires on the stipulated expiration date, the Funds will realize a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. If the Funds enter into a closing sale transaction, the Funds will realize a gain or loss, depending on whether the sale proceeds for the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option. If the Funds exercise a purchased put option, the Funds will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying future, swap, security or currency transaction, and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid. If the Funds exercise a purchased call option, the cost of the future, swap, security or currency transaction which the Funds purchase upon exercise will be increased by the premium originally paid. Purchased over the counter options are subject to the risk that the counterparty may default on its obligations, which could result in a loss to the Funds.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
I. Repurchase Agreements — The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements which involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Funds, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the seller defaults or becomes insolvent, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited and there may be a decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Funds seek to assert their rights. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held at the Funds’ custodian or designated sub-custodians under tri-party repurchase agreements.
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission and terms and conditions contained therein, the Funds, together with other registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM, or its affiliates, may transfer uninvested cash into joint accounts, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements. Under these joint accounts, the Funds’ credit exposure is allocated to the underlying repurchase agreements counterparties on a pro-rata basis. With the exception of certain transaction fees, the Funds are not subject to any expenses in relation to these investments.
 
J. Swap Contracts — Swaps are marked to market daily using either pricing vendor quotations, counterparty prices or model prices, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Upfront payments made and/or received by the Fund, are recorded as an asset and/or liability, and realized gains or losses are recognized ratably over the contract’s term/event, with the exception of forward starting interest rate swaps, whose realized gains or losses are recognized ratably from the effective start date. Periodic payments received or made on swap contracts are recorded as realized gains or losses. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of a swap contract and are recorded on the Statements of Operations.
Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap contract to comply with the terms of the swap contract. The loss incurred by the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the net payment to be received by the Funds and/or the termination value at the end of the contract. Therefore, GSAM considers the creditworthiness of each counterparty to a contract in evaluating potential credit risk. Additionally, risks may arise from unanticipated movements in interest rates or in the value of the underlying reference asset or index. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, market risk, liquidity risk and elements of credit, legal and documentation risk in excess of amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds may pay or receive cash as collateral on these contracts which is recorded as an asset and/or liability. The Funds must set aside liquid assets, or engage in other appropriate measures to cover their obligations under these contracts. The Funds may invest in the following types of swaps:
An interest rate swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals, based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices, rates or indices for a specified amount of an underlying asset or notional principal amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other.
A credit default swap is an agreement that involves one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive protection on a reference security or obligation. A Fund may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the reference security or obligation or to take a short position with respect to the likelihood of default. A Fund’s investment in credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the referenced obligation directly. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring and obligation acceleration. If a Fund buys protection through a credit default swap and no credit event occurs, its payments are limited to the periodic payments previously made to the counterparty. Upon the occurrence of a specified credit event, a Fund, as a buyer of credit protection, is entitled to receive an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver to the seller the defaulted

reference obligation in a physically settled trade. A Fund may also receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap reduced by the recovery value of the reference obligation in a cash settled trade.
As a seller of protection, a Fund generally receives a payment stream throughout the term of the swap, provided that there is no credit event. In addition, if the Fund sells protection through a credit default swap, the Fund could suffer a loss because the value of the referenced obligation may be less than the premium payments received. Upon the occurrence of a specified credit event, a Fund, as a seller of credit protection, may be required to take possession of the defaulted reference obligation and pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap in a physically settled trade. A Fund may also pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap reduced by the recovery value of the reference obligation in a cash settled trade. Recovery values are at times established through the credit event auction process in which market participants are ensured that a transparent price has been set for the defaulted security or obligation. In addition, a Fund is entitled to a return of any assets, which have been pledged as collateral to the counterparty.
The Funds’ credit default swaps are disclosed in the Additional Investment Information section of the Schedules of Investments. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Funds as sellers of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations or net amounts received from a settlement of a credit default swap for the same reference security or obligation where the Funds bought credit protection.
 
K. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities — The Funds may invest in treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”), including structured bonds in which the principal amount is adjusted daily to keep pace with inflation, as measured by the U.S. Consumer Pricing Index for Urban Consumers. The adjustments to principal due to inflation/deflation are reflected as increases/decreases to interest income with a corresponding adjustment to cost. Such adjustments may have a significant impact on the Funds’ distributions and may result in a return of capital to shareholders. The repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
 
L. When-Issued Securities and Forward Commitments — The Funds may purchase when-issued securities, including TBA (“To Be Announced”) securities that have been authorized, but not yet issued in the market. When-issued securities are purchased in order to secure what is considered to be an advantageous price or yield to the Fund at the time of entering into the transaction. A forward commitment involves entering into a contract to purchase or sell securities, typically on an extended delivery basis, for a fixed price at a future date. The purchase of securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis involves a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines before the settlement date. Conversely, the sale of securities on a forward commitment basis involves the risk that the value of the securities sold may increase before the settlement date. Although the Funds will generally purchase securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis with the intention of acquiring the securities for their portfolios, the Funds may dispose of when-issued securities or forward commitments prior to settlement which may result in a realized gain or loss. When purchasing a security on a when-issued basis or entering into a forward commitment, the Funds must “set aside” liquid assets, or engage in other appropriate measures to “cover” their obligations under these contracts.

3. FAIR VALUE OF INVESTMENTS
 
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
 
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).

These management fee waivers are temporary and may be modified or terminated at any time at the option of GSAM, without shareholder approval.
 
B. Distribution and Service Plans — The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”). Under the Plans, Goldman Sachs, which serves as distributor (the “Distributor”), is entitled to a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly for distribution services and personal and account maintenance services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers, at the following annual rates calculated on a Fund’s average daily net assets of each respective share class:

D. Service Plan, Shareholder Administration Plan and Administration Plan — The Trust, on behalf of each Fund that offers Service Shares, has adopted a Service Plan and a Shareholder Administration Plan. In addition, the Trust, on behalf of the Enhanced Income Fund, has adopted an Administration Plan for Administration Shares. These plans allow service organizations to provide varying levels of personal and account maintenance and shareholder administration services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan each provide for compensation to the service organizations which is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.25% (0.50% in aggregate) of the average daily net assets of the Service Shares. The Administration Plan provides compensation to the service organizations in an amount equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Administration Shares.
 
E.  Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to a Transfer Agency Agreement.

Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations for Enhanced Income, Government Income, Inflation Protected Securities, Short Duration Government and Ultra-Short Duration Government Funds as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets are 0.064%, 0.004%, 0.044%, 0.004% and 0.054%, respectively. These Other Expense reimbursements will remain in place through at least July 29, 2011, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows (in thousands):

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of March 31, 2011, the Funds participated in a $580,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates. Pursuant to the terms of the facility, the Funds and other borrowers could increase the credit amount by an additional $340,000,000, for a total of up to $920,000,000. This facility is to be used solely for temporary or emergency purposes. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.
 
H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, Goldman Sachs earned approximately $51,800, $60,100, $7,700, $254,300 and $41,000 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant, on behalf of the Enhanced Income, Government Income, Inflation Protected Securities, Short Duration Government and Ultra-Short Duration Government Funds, respectively.
As of March 31, 2011, the Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio was the beneficial owner of approximately 5% of the total outstanding shares of the Short Duration Government Fund.
As of March 31, 2011, Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. was the beneficial owner of approximately 100% and 10% of the Class IR Shares of the Enhanced Income and Inflation Protected Securities Funds, respectively.
 
5. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES
 
The Funds may make investments in derivative instruments, including, but not limited to options, futures, swaps, swaptions and other derivatives relating to foreign currency transactions. A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. Derivative instruments may be privately negotiated contracts (often referred to as over the counter (“OTC”) derivatives) or they may be listed and traded on an exchange. Derivative contracts may involve future commitments to purchase or sell financial instruments or commodities at specified terms on a specified date, or to exchange interest payment streams or currencies based on a notional or contractual amount. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. The use of derivatives also involves the risk of loss if the investment adviser is incorrect in its expectation of the timing or level of fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates or currency prices. Investments in derivative instruments also include the risk of default by the counterparty, the risk that the investment may not be liquid and the risk that a small movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavorable or favorable, in the price of the derivative instrument.

(b) Aggregate of amounts include $3,402,363, $20,552,949 and $3,709,190 for Government Income, Short Duration Government and Ultra-Short Duration Government Funds, respectively, which represent the payments to be made pursuant to bilateral agreements should counterparties exercise their “right to terminate” provisions based on, among others, the Funds’ performance, their failure to pay on their obligations or failure to pledge collateral. Such amounts do not include incremental charges directly associated with the close-out of the agreements. They also do not reflect the fair value of any assets pledged as collateral which, through the daily margining process, substantially offsets the aforementioned amounts and for which the Funds are entitled to a full return.

7. TAX INFORMATION (continued)
 
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, net mark-to-market gains (losses) on regulated futures contracts, and differences related to the tax treatment of swap transactions, premium amortization and the accretion of market discount.
In order to present certain components of the Funds’ capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Funds’ accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds and result primarily from expired capital loss carryforwards, dividend redesignations, and the differences in tax treatment relating to inflation protected securities, the recognition of income and gains (losses) of certain bonds and swap transactions.

GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
 
8. OTHER RISKS
 
Liquidity Risk — The Funds may make investments that may be illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, a Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions.
 
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, the Funds may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transaction defaults.

9. INDEMNIFICATIONS
 
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
 
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
Subsequent events after the balance sheet date have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued. GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
 

 
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Goldman Sachs Trust — Goldman Sachs Short Duration and Government Fixed Income Funds:
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Inflation Protected Securities Fund, Goldman Sachs Short Duration Government Fund and Goldman Sachs Ultra-Short Duration Government Fund (collectively the “Funds”), portfolios of Goldman Sachs Trust, at March 31, 2011, the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at March 31, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Except for the Goldman Sachs Inflation Protected Securities Fund, the financial highlights of the Funds for the period ended October 31, 2006 and prior were audited by another Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm whose report dated December 21, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

GOLDMAN SACHS SHORT DURATION AND GOVERNMENT FIXED INCOME FUNDS
 

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)
 
As a shareholder of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional, Administration, Service, Class IR or Class R Shares of a Fund you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares), contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class B and Class C Shares), and redemption fees (if any); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R Shares); and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional, Administration, Service, Class IR and Class R Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
 
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from October 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011.
 
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Expenses for each share class are calculated using each Fund’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended March 31, 2011. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the fiscal year.

Item 4(e)(1) — Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services Provided to the Funds of the Goldman Sachs Trust. The Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the “Policy”) adopted by the Audit Committee of Goldman Sachs Trust (“GST”) sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services performed by an independent auditor for GST may be pre-approved. Services may be pre-approved specifically by the Audit Committee as a whole or, in certain circumstances, by the Audit Committee Chairman or the person designated as the Audit Committee Financial Expert. In addition, subject to specified cost limitations, certain services may be pre-approved under the provisions of the Policy. The Policy provides that the Audit Committee will consider whether the services provided by an independent auditor are consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules on auditor independence. The Policy provides for periodic review and pre-approval by the Audit Committee of the services that may be provided by the independent auditor.

     De Minimis Waiver. The pre-approval requirements of the Policy may be waived with respect to the provision of non-audit services that are permissible for an independent auditor to perform, provided (1) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues subject to pre-approval that was paid to the independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (2) such services were not recognized by GST at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee, pursuant to the pre-approval provisions of the Policy.

     Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Services Provided to GST’s Investment Advisers. The Policy provides that, in addition to requiring pre-approval of audit and non-audit services provided to GST, the Audit Committee will pre-approve those non-audit services provided to GST’s investment advisers (and entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment advisers that provide ongoing services to GST) where the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of GST.

Item 4(e)(2) – 0% of the audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees listed in Table 1 were approved by GST’s Audit Committee pursuant to the “de minimis” exception of Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X. In addition, 0% of the non-audit services to the GST’s service affiliates listed in Table 2 were approved by GST’s Audit Committee pursuant to the “de minimis” exception of Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.

Item 4(f) – Not applicable.

Item 4(g) Aggregate Non-Audit Fees Disclosure

The aggregate non-audit fees billed to GST by PwC for the years ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 were approximately $514,307 and $845,491 respectively. The aggregate non-audit fees billed to GST’s adviser and service affiliates by PwC for non-audit services for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were approximately $10.3 million and $6.4 million respectively. With regard to the aggregate non-audit fees billed to GST’s adviser and service affiliates, the 2010 and 2009 amounts include fees for non-audit services required to be pre-approved [see Table 2] and fees for non-audit services that did not require pre-approval since they did not directly relate to GST’s operations or financial reporting.

Item 4(h) — GST’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services to GST’s investment adviser and service affiliates that did not require pre-approval pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence.
