COLUMBIA MANAGEMENT(R) CMG ENHANCED S&P 500(R) INDEX FUND CMG LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND CMG LARGE CAP VALUE FUND CMG MID CAP GROWTH FUND CMG MID CAP VALUE FUND CMG SMALL CAP GROWTH FUND CMG SMALL CAP VALUE FUND CMG SMALL/MID CAP FUND CMG INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND PORTFOLIOS OF CMG FUND TRUST ANNUAL REPORT JULY 31, 2004 NOT FDIC MAY LOSE VALUE INSURED ----------------- ADVISED BY COLUMBIA MANAGEMENT ADVISORS, INC. NO BANK GUARANTEE CMG ENHANCED S&P 500(R) INDEX FUND A Portfolio of CMG Fund Trust MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE CMG Enhanced S&P 500(R) Index Fund returned 12.08% for the 12-month period ended July 31, 2004. The fund's double-digit gain was slightly behind the return of the S&P 500 Index, which was 13.17% for the same period. However, the fund outperformed its peer group. The average return for the Lipper Large Cap Core Funds Category was 9.53%.(1) The fund's focus on large, high quality companies hurt performance against the index because investors tended to gravitate toward smaller, lower quality companies. In addition, we did not hold the stock of our current parent company, Bank of America, or the stock of our previous one, FleetBoston Financial, in order to avoid a conflict of interest. Both stocks performed better than most other financial companies, and their absence in the portfolio held back total return. While we manage the portfolio to reflect the characteristics of the S&P 500 Index in terms of sector weights and market capitalization, there were 200 stocks in the portfolio on July 31, 2004, compared with the 500 companies in the S&P 500 Index. In keeping with the mandate to remain broadly diversified, we generally limit our exposure to any one stock to the company's weight in the S&P 500 Index plus or minus one half of one percent. For example, if the weight of a stock in the S&P 500 Index is 3.00%, its position in the portfolio would typically not be greater than 3.50% or less than 2.50%. In general, we believe that good stock selection is the key to successful long-term performance. When looking for individual stocks, we use quantitative analysis to identify large, high quality companies with attractive valuations and proven records of earnings growth. We look at the financial, economic and operating factors that affect companies. We use this data to evaluate the relative attractiveness of each company in our selection universe. Examples of companies that met our investment criteria during the period included: Microsoft, Monsanto, an agricultural products company; and TXU, whose restructuring efforts have dramatically increased its growth potential (3.1%, 0.4% and 0.6% of net assets, respectively). In the energy area we focused on large oil companies, such as Exxon Mobil and ChevronTexaco, which benefited from higher oil prices (3.4% and 1.5% of net assets, respectively). In the consumer discretionary sector, we held Sears, Roebuck and Co. (0.3% of net assets), which underperformed during the period. Watson Pharmaceuticals (0.2% of net assets) performed poorly during this period. The company's stock declined when it reported weaker-than-expected earnings. We maintained our position because we believe that Watson Pharmaeuticals would be attractive to investors at its lower valuation. We were also disappointed by the performance of King Pharmaceuticals (0.3% of net assets).(2) Our outlook for high quality companies continues to be optimistic. We have already begun to see a more conservative attitude in the market, with investors moving away from lower quality companies toward more established companies with solid business prospects. We believe this shift in emphasis bodes well for the carefully chosen stocks that make up the portfolio. 1 The fund's top ten holdings (as a percentage of net assets) as of July 31, 2004 were:

We appreciate your continued confidence in CMG Enhanced S&P 500(R) Index Fund. The Columbia Investment Team July 31, 2004 The primary risks involved with investing in the fund includes equity risk, market risk and tracking error risk. Unlike the S&P 500 Index, the fund incurs administrative expenses and transaction costs in trading stocks. The composition of the S&P 500 Index and the stocks held by the fund will diverge. Holdings are calculated as a percentage of net assets and are subject to change. Because the fund is actively managed, there is no guarantee the fund will continue to maintain the holdings breakdown listed. The fund's holdings and their weights within the portfolio may change as market conditions change. ---------- (1) Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return for mutual funds with similar investment objectives as those of the fund.

PLEASE VISIT www.columbiamanagement.com FOR DAILY AND MOST RECENT MONTH-END PERFORMANCE UPDATES. Index performance is from May 5, 2003. The Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of 500 widely held, large-capitalization US stocks. Unlike mutual funds, indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Securities in the fund may not match those in an index. Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the advisor or its affiliates. Absent these reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. 3 UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES - CMG ENHANCED S&P 500(R) INDEX FUND As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. ANALYZING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors during the reporting period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the reporting period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the "actual" column is calculated using the fund's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the "hypothetical" column assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and includes the fund's actual expense ratio. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this reporting period. ESTIMATING YOUR ACTUAL EXPENSES To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period: 1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6. 2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during this period," locate the amount under "actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period. FEBRUARY 1, 2004 - JULY 31, 2004
ACCOUNT VALUE AT THE ACCOUNT VALUE AT THE EXPENSES PAID BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD ($) END OF THE PERIOD ($) DURING THE PERIOD ($) ACTUAL HYPOTHETICAL ACTUAL HYPOTHETICAL ACTUAL HYPOTHETICAL 1,000.00 1,000.00 980.54 1,023.61 1.24 1.27
Expenses paid during the period are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio of 0.25%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 366. Had the Investment Advisor not reimbursed a portion of expenses, total return would have been reduced. It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. 4 COMPARE WITH OTHER FUNDS Since all mutual fund companies are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the continuing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges or redemption or exchange fees. 5 CMG LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND A Portfolio of CMG Fund Trust MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE CMG Large Cap Growth Fund returned 2.57% from inception on September 10, 2003 through July 31, 2004. The fund trailed the 3.76% return of the Russell 1000 Growth Index for the same period. Using the closest available dates for comparison (August 31, 2003 through July 31, 2004), the fund also underperformed the Lipper Large Cap Growth Funds Category average, which gained 3.67%.(1) The shortfall can largely be attributed to the fund's start-up phase, when the timing of cash flows had a negative impact on performance. Once the fund was fully invested, fund performance picked up and tracked the index. The fund's focus on large profitable companies with strong competitive positions, healthy balance sheets and above-average sales growth led us to top performers in the industrial and consumer staples sectors. An above-average stake in industrials helped the fund as economic growth picked up worldwide. Tyco International (2.9% of net assets), an industrial conglomerate under new management, did particularly well. We added to consumer staples holdings, but kept exposure to the sector lower than the fund's benchmark because valuations have neared their historical peaks. The fund's strongest performers in consumer staples included Costco Wholesale (1.4% of net assets), a warehouse chain that sells consumer goods. The company trimmed costs to improve its bottom line and capitalized on growing demand from small businesses. Consumer discretionary stocks also aided performance once the fund was fully invested. Top performers included XM Satellite Radio Holdings and eBay (1.3% and 1.2% of net assets, respectively). XM benefited from enhanced product offerings and growing demand, while eBay rallied as more people used its online auction services. Niche retailers Chico's FAS and Coach (1.0% and 0.8% of net assets, respectively) also delivered strong results. By contrast, media stocks were disappointing. Fading expectations for sustainable long-term growth in advertising revenues put pressure on the sector. The fund's health care returns were mixed. Medical products and devices companies, such as Alcon and St. Jude Medical (1.8% and 1.3% of net assets, respectively), rallied nicely amid new product introductions. However, we lost some ground by not owning more shares of Johnson & Johnson (1.8% of net assets) early on when its stock price took off. Biotechnology stocks further detracted from performance. In particular, Amgen (0.8% of net assets) was hurt by concerns about Medicare reimbursement rates. Within technology, we owned a range of companies that we believed could benefit from an improving economy, increased corporate spending and the growing popularity of advanced communication devices. Our large position in Microsoft (4.9% of net assets) reflected its heavy weight in the index. Microsoft made a positive contribution to the fund's return although it did not perform as well as the technology sector overall. Other disappointments included Seagate Technology, which supplies parts, peripherals and other components to technology systems companies. We sold the stock after earnings shortfalls resulted in sharp declines. Paychex (0.6% of net assets), a payroll processor for small businesses, also hurt performance. It slid among concern that sporadic job growth and modestly higher interest rates would hinder 6 earnings prospects. The fund, however, benefited as QUALCOMM, which makes semiconductors for cell phones, and Yahoo! (1.7% and 1.1% of net assets, respectively) posted solid gains. We remain optimistic about the prospects for large-cap growth stocks, especially those with attractive valuations. We expect high quality companies with good strategic, competitive and product positioning to do better than companies whose fortunes are primarily dependent on the fortunes of the economy. With these factors in mind, we plan to maintain a diversified and balanced approach to sector exposure while picking what we believe are growth stocks with the potential to be market leaders. The fund's top ten holdings (as a percentage of net assets) as of July 31, 2004 were:
(%) Microsoft 4.9 Intel 3.1 Tyco International 2.9 Pfizer 2.8 Cisco Systems 2.7 General Electric 2.2 Praxair 2.2 Teva Pharmaceutical Industries 2.1 Zimmer Holdings 2.0 Alcon 1.8

Although the fund's emphasis on energy stocks helped it generate a solid, double-digit return, it gained less than the Russell 1000 Value Index. The index returned 14.45% during the same period. Using the closest available dates for comparison (August 31, 2003, through July 31, 2004), the fund also underperformed the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds Category average, which was 13.62%.(1) The fund was held back in the early part of the period because of its emphasis on higher-quality securities, which trailed lower-quality securities. However, the fund's higher quality holdings held up better as market conditions declined and performance picked up in the second half. The fund was launched in September 2003 in the midst of a rising stock market and an improving economy. Its best performers were energy stocks, which represented a larger portion in the portfolio than their weight in the fund's benchmark, and utility stocks, which were a relatively small position. The steady rise in oil and natural gas prices during the period boosted the prices of Exxon Mobil, ConocoPhillips and BP PLC (3.3%, 2.7% and 2.5% of net assets, respectively). TXU (1.9% of net assets) benefited from its new management team's aggressive restructuring. The company's asset sales also worked out better than expected, enabling the company to retain its dividend. Financial holdings did well early in the reporting period, but lost ground as interest rates began to rise. Credit card company MBNA (1.0% of net assets) declined as concerns about a slowdown in consumer spending began to surface, and higher short-term interest rates created concerns about their profit margins. Citigroup, Bank of New York and Morgan Stanley (3.9%, 1.3% and 1.1% of net assets, respectively) were adversely affected by the steady slowdown in capital markets activity. In technology, we lost ground with Finnish cell phone manufacturer Nokia (0.8% of net assets). The company's market share declined, but we believe its plans to introduce a wide range of new phones with varying price points may help the stock recover in the coming year. In the consumer sector, Wendy's International and PepsiCo (1.5% and 1.7% of net assets, respectively) finished the period weak due to concerns about slowing consumer spending. Our decisions to emphasize higher quality stocks, broaden the fund's diversification and bring fund allocations in line with the Russell 1000 Value Index began to pay off as the year wore on. As the market declined from its peak, higher quality names pulled ahead of the more aggressive, lower quality companies that had led the earlier market rally. We believe this strategy will continue to be effective as the economic situation becomes clearer. Already there are signs that the economic recovery is maturing. Although the pace of growth remains solid, it has slowed. We expect profit growth to also slow. In this environment, we continue to favor high quality stocks with the potential to do well under a variety of market conditions. 11 The fund's top ten holdings (as a percentage of net assets) as of July 31, 2004 were:

The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the reporting period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the "actual" column is calculated using the fund's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the "hypothetical" column assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and includes the fund's actual expense ratio. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this reporting period. ESTIMATING YOUR ACTUAL EXPENSES To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period: 1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6. 2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during this period," locate the amount under "actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period. FEBRUARY 1, 2004 - JULY 31, 2004
ACCOUNT VALUE AT THE ACCOUNT VALUE AT THE EXPENSES PAID BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD ($) END OF THE PERIOD ($) DURING THE PERIOD ($) ACTUAL HYPOTHETICAL ACTUAL HYPOTHETICAL ACTUAL HYPOTHETICAL 1,000.00 1,000.00 1,006.35 1,022.36 2.51 2.53
Expenses paid during the period are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio of 0.50%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 366. Had the Investment Advisor not reimbursed a portion of expenses, total return would have been reduced. It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. 14 COMPARE WITH OTHER FUNDS Since all mutual fund companies are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the continuing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges or redemption or exchange fees. 15 CMG MID CAP GROWTH FUND A Portfolio of CMG Fund Trust MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE CMG Mid Cap Growth Fund returned 1.06% for the 12-month period ended July 31, 2004. The fund's performance was significantly lower than the 14.79% return of the Russell Midcap Growth Index and the 9.63% average of the Lipper Mid Cap Growth Funds Category for the same period.(1) Although the fund's energy holdings benefited from rising oil prices, in most other sectors, particularly technology, its lack of exposure to the better-performing segments of the market hurt performance during the overall period. With a new management team in place since the beginning of July, we have taken steps aimed at reducing volatility and improving performance going forward. Fueled by a strengthening US economy, the stock market moved higher during the first six months of this reporting period. Small company stocks were the greatest beneficiaries of this trend. Investors favored small and highly leveraged, speculative companies on the expectation that they had the most to gain in an improving economy. However, that sentiment changed dramatically as investors became concerned about the strength of the recovery early in 2004. Investors shifted their support to larger, more stable companies. The fund's technology holdings diminished performance during the period. We missed most of the major upward moves within the technology sector. In fact, the fund's relative performance was held back primarily by what it did not own. For example, it did not have exposure to Broadcom or Corning, both stocks that made significant gains during the period. The fund was helped by some of its energy and health care holdings. Rising oil prices boosted energy stocks and oil service stocks benefited most because companies have begun to explore for more energy sources after years of underinvestment. XTO Energy and National-Oilwell (1.2% and 1.7% of net assets, respectively), as well as exploration and production companies such as Apache (0.6% of net assets), were helped by this trend. In health care, a few high quality stocks made positive contributions to the fund, including DaVita, a dialysis services company, and Elan, an Irish biotechnology and drug company (1.6% and 0.8% of net assets, respectively). Although US stock markets have traded lower for the past few months, we see reasons for optimism--and attractive investment opportunities--going forward. In light of our expectation for modest but stable growth, we believe that stocks are more attractively priced. Given this outlook, we have begun adding stocks of emerging companies with favorable earnings prospects. For example, we added Advanced Micro Devices and Altera, two semiconductor manufacturers (0.6% and 0.6% of net assets, respectively). We also initiated a position in Juniper Networks, a communications equipment company (1.0% of net assets). We initiated positions in these stocks even though we reduced the fund's overall exposure to technology. At the same time, we increased the fund's financial services and industrial holdings. We believe these two industries have the potential to benefit from an improving economy. 16 As part of a major restructuring of the fund, we have also taken steps to limit exposure to any one industry in order to help manage exposure to risk. And, we have introduced a systematic process that places more emphasis on valuation relative to earnings growth in selecting individual stocks for the portfolio. The fund's top ten holdings (as a percentage of net assets) as of July 31, 2004 were:
(%) Medicis Pharmaceutical 1.9 Baker Hughes 1.8 Microchip Technology 1.8 National-Oilwell 1.7 Patterson-UTI Energy 1.7 DaVita 1.6 Yum! Brands 1.6 Univision Communications 1.4 Fisher Scientific International 1.4 Linear Technology 1.4

The Russell Midcap Growth Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of those Russell Midcap Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Unlike mutual funds, indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Securities in the fund may not match those in an index. Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the advisor or its affiliates. Absent these reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. 18 UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES - CMG MID CAP GROWTH FUND As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio of 0.70%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 366. Had the Investment Advisor not reimbursed a portion of expenses, total return would have been reduced.

The fund benefited from a strong stock market, which was buoyed by a recovering economy and robust profit growth. However, its return was lower than the 23.43% return of the Russell Midcap Value Index for the same period. Sub-par returns in the consumer discretionary sector accounted for most of the fund's shortfall relative to the index. Auto parts supplier Superior Industries International (0.7% of net assets) was our largest disappointment in the sector. The company suffered from pricing pressure and manufacturing problems in its core aluminum wheels business. However, we continue to own the stock because the company has a leading market share, strong product offering and pristine balance sheet. Cable television operator Mediacom Communications (0.3% of net assets) was hurt by increased competition from satellite dish providers. These providers are increasingly offering local service in Mediacom's markets, often at promotional prices. We also had disappointing performance from certain health care and financial stocks. First Health Group (0.5% of net assets) lowered its earnings estimate because of continued pricing pressure in one of its key business segments. Janus Capital Group (1.3% of net assets), an asset management firm, also hindered the fund's return. One of the contributors to Janus' poor performance was the aggressive growth style that served it well during the 90s has been out of favor for some time, resulting in poor performance for many Janus funds. We continue to own the stock because we believe that improvements in investment performance and new management have the potential to turn the company around. Strong returns from the fund's energy and industrial holdings helped performance. The fund's exposure to energy stocks was higher than its benchmark, which proved beneficial when oil and natural gas prices moved higher. Our stock selection also had a positive impact on performance. Both XTO Energy and Amerada Hess (3.1% and 1.7% of net assets, respectively), posted significant stock price gains during the period. XTO continued to enjoy growth by acquiring and successfully exploiting new assets. Amerada appreciated as investors appeared confident that the company can execute its turnaround strategy. Our positions in industrials Brink's and Carlisle Companies (1.9% and 1.6% of net assets, respectively) also did well. Brink's consumer and business security businesses continued to post solid growth. Moreover, its troubled freight unit enjoyed a strong recovery, helped both by a better economy and internal initiatives. Carlisle's stock appreciated because of strong earnings gains, which resulted from new product introductions, market share gains and the improved economy. During the period, we sold positions in Ecolab, International Game Technology and Zebra Technologies. These were all long-term holdings, which had appreciated significantly and appeared fully valued. We used the proceeds to establish new positions in stocks that appeared attractively valued, including Willis Group Holdings (0.5% of net assets), an insurance broker with the number three position in its industry. A relatively new management team has rejuvenated the 21 company, leading to market share gains against the top two players. The company's stock price has been weighed down by several specific investor concerns that we believe could be resolved favorably in the near-term. We also believe that the company has the potential to gain even more market share going forward. Looking ahead, we see mixed signals on the economic front. We believe that the economy has demonstrated its ability to maintain a steady, if somewhat less vigorous, pace of growth. However, the likelihood of higher rates, record high oil prices, concerns about inflation and the upcoming presidential election are wild cards that could increase uncertainty in the coming months. As value managers, we will continue to seek to identify well-managed companies in good or improving businesses that we believe have the potential to do well under a variety of market conditions. The fund's top ten holdings (as a percentage of net assets) as of July 31, 2004 were:
(%) XTO Energy 3.1 Golden West Financial 2.7 Dean Foods 2.7 Federated Department Stores 2.3 Brink's 1.9 Telephone & Data Systems 1.7 Amerada Hess 1.7 TJX Companies 1.7 International Flavors & Fragrances 1.6 Charter One Financial 1.6

Small-cap stocks benefited from a favorable environment, especially during the first half of the period. The fund's return was slightly less than the 11.32% return of the Russell 2000 Growth Index. However, it outperformed the 9.62% average return for the Lipper Small Cap Growth Funds Category.(1) The fund benefited from an emphasis on semiconductor and biotechnology stocks, which rallied for the first nine months of the period. Strong gains from industrials, energy and financials further fueled returns. The fund's sizable stake in media as well as disappointing performance from selected technology stocks contributed to a modest shortfall in performance relative to the benchmark. We focused on what we believed were higher quality small-cap growth companies with healthy balance sheets, attractive business models and strong management teams. We favored innovative companies, which we found mostly in the consumer discretionary, technology and health care sectors. Jarden (2.1% of net assets), a diversified consumer products company, was the fund's largest holding and top performer. A smart acquisition strategy as well as innovative marketing and distribution drove strong earnings growth. Station Casinos also posted an outstanding gain. The company prospered from its unique focus on casinos for Las Vegas residents as well as collaborations with Native American tribes to build new casinos in other parts of the country. We took profits and sold our stake in the company. The fund enjoyed strong gains from specialty pharmaceutical and medical diagnostic stocks. Standouts included Salix Pharmaceuticals, Nektar Therapeutics and Cytyc (1.2%, 1.0% and 0.5% of net assets, respectively). Shares of Salix Pharmaceuticals shot up as it gained approval for a new gastrointestinal drug. Nektar Therapeutics rallied after filing in Europe for approval of its innovative inhaled insulin product. Cytyc, which makes the thin prep imaging system used for PAP smears, benefited from expansion overseas and a recent acquisition. Our investment in Taro Pharmaceuticals (0.4% of net assets) lost ground because of a major earnings disappointment. Within industrials, we emphasized transportation stocks. Freight companies, such as EGL (0.9% of net assets), benefited from favorable supply/demand dynamics. Energy stocks were driven higher by rising commodity prices. Standouts included Maverick Tube (0.6% of net assets), a company that makes metal tubing to transport gas and oil from offshore drilling sites. In the financial sector, we targeted banks that were well-positioned for rising interest rates. East-West Bancorp (1.4% of net assets), a West Coast bank targeting the Chinese-American community, did particularly well. Technology stocks came under pressure in the spring as investors worried about the likelihood that earnings growth would slow from its recent rapid pace. Within technology, our biggest disappointments included Cray, a supercomputer company, and Netopia, which makes smart modems for DSL (0.4% and 0.2% of net assets, respectively). An exception was Silicon Image (1.3% of net assets). The stock for this semiconductor company rallied as sales and earnings 26 exceeded expectations. Media stocks further detracted from performance, as advertising revenues trailed expectations and investors abandoned the sector. Although small-cap valuations have risen and investors have become more risk averse, we remain cautiously optimistic about the prospects for small-cap growth stocks. We think their earnings outlooks remain better than those for large-cap stocks, especially as the economy continues to improve. We expect our focus on higher quality, small-cap growth companies to help us in a potentially volatile market environment. The fund's top ten holdings (as a percentage of net assets) as of July 31, 2004 were:
(%) Jarden 2.1 East-West Bancorp 1.4 Silicon Image 1.3 Salix Pharmaceutical 1.2 Cost Plus 1.2 Corporate Executive Board 1.1 Artisan Components 1.1 Jefferies Group 1.1 Commercial Capital Bancorp 1.1 Infinity Property & Casualty 1.1
Thank you for investing in CMG Small Cap Growth Fund. The Columbia Investment Team July 31, 2004 Investments in small-cap companies may be subject to greater volatility and price fluctuations because small companies often have narrower markets and limited financial resources and their stocks tend to be thinly traded and less liquid than investments in larger companies. Holdings are calculated as a percentage of net assets, and are subject to change. Because the fund is actively managed, there is no guarantee the fund will continue to maintain the holdings breakdown listed.

The Russell 2000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of those Russell 2000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Unlike mutual funds, indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Securities in the fund may not match those in an index. Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the advisor or its affiliates. Absent these reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. 28 UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES -- CMG SMALL CAP GROWTH FUND As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. ANALYZING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors during the reporting period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the reporting period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the "actual" column is calculated using the fund's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the "hypothetical" column assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and includes the fund's actual expense ratio. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this reporting period. ESTIMATING YOUR ACTUAL EXPENSES To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period: 1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6. 2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during this period," locate the amount under "actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period. FEBRUARY 1, 2004 - JULY 31, 2004

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio of 0.80%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 366. Had the Investment Advisor not reimbursed a portion of expenses, total return would have been reduced. It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. 29 COMPARE WITH OTHER FUNDS Since all mutual fund companies are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the continuing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges or redemption or exchange fees. 30 CMG SMALL CAP VALUE FUND A Portfolio of CMG Fund Trust MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE CMG Small Cap Value Fund returned 25.79% for the 12-month period ended July 31, 2004. It outperformed both the Russell 2000 Value Index and Lipper Small Cap Value Funds Category average, which returned 22.83% and 22.48%, respectively.(1) We believe that strong stock selection in the health care, industrial and financial sectors helped performance relative to the Russell 2000 Value Index and its peer group. A below-average stake in financials also benefited the fund's return. We continued to focus our efforts on identifying companies with strong competitive and financial positions, good earnings growth prospects and reasonable stock valuations. This strategy worked especially well in the second half of 2003 as optimism about the economy and Iraq conflict propelled stocks sharply higher. As 2004 unfolded, the market's momentum slowed amid growing uncertainty on most fronts--geopolitical, political and economic. Investors became more risk averse, favoring value stocks over growth stocks. Although large-cap stocks gained ground late in the period, small-cap stocks came out ahead for the year. The fund's modest investment in health care produced outsized gains. Standouts included non-hospital and specialty facilities companies, such as nursing homes, an oncology practice that was bought out at a premium during the period and a funeral home chain. The fund also owned a contact lens manufacturer that was a strong performer. In addition, the performance was aided by our decision to avoid biotechnology and more expensive pharmaceutical stocks that did not meet our quality and valuation criteria. These industries turned in weak returns compared to the health care sector average. The fund's investments in industrial stocks also contributed to performance. The sector rallied as the economy improved. We owned shares of machinery and equipment, transportation, business services, construction and security services companies, all of which produced strong gains. A below-average stake in financial stocks also benefited performance. Financials came under pressure as rising interest rates dampened enthusiasm for the sector. Our exposure to thrifts was lower than their weight in the fund's index, and that was a particular benefit because thrifts lagged the sector. In addition, the fund benefited from favorable stock selection among banks, insurance firms and specialty financial companies. In both technology and consumer sectors, we maintained our focus on reasonably priced stocks, which ran counter to the market's preference early on for more expensively priced stocks with the best earnings and revenue growth. In technology, we owned a broad mix of software and hardware names. In the consumer discretionary sector, we focused on restaurants, specialty retailers and manufacturers of apparel, shoes, toys and leisure products. The fund's returns from both technology and consumer stocks were positive, but slightly behind the sector average for the Russell 2000 Value Index. Caught between positive earnings growth and worries about rising interest rates, inflation, the progress of the economic recovery and global tensions, the market is likely to remain choppy for the remainder of the year. Regardless of market conditions, our long-term focus remains on 31 reasonably valued small-cap stocks issued by companies with strong balance sheets and good management. We plan to maintain a bias toward economically sensitive companies as long as these sectors remain attractively valued relative to other opportunities.

Thank you for investing in CMG Small Cap Value Fund. The Columbia Investment Team July 31, 2004 Investments in small-cap companies may be subject to greater volatility and price fluctuations because small companies often have narrower markets and limited financial resources and their stocks tend to be thinly traded and less liquid than investments in larger companies. Value stocks are securities of companies that may have experienced adverse business or industry developments or may be subject to special risks that have caused the stocks to be out of favor. If the advisor's assessment of a company's prospects is wrong, the price of its stock may not approach the value the advisor has placed on it. Holdings are calculated as a percentage of net assets, and are subject to change. Because the fund is actively managed, there is no guarantee the fund will continue to maintain the holdings breakdown listed. The fund's holdings and their weights within the portfolio may change as market conditions change. ---------- (1) Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return for mutual funds with similar investment objectives as those of the fund. 32 [CHART] GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT, MAY 5, 2003 TO JULY 31, 2004

The fund underperformed the Russell 2500 Growth Index, which returned 12.45% for the same period. The fund also underperformed its peer group. The average return for the Lipper MidCap Growth Funds Category was 9.63%.(1) For the first several months of the period, the fund benefited from its technology holdings, particularly stocks of the most speculative companies. However, both above-average exposure and stock selection within the technology sector held back performance during the overall period. The fund benefited from some strong gains in its energy holdings. However, with a new management team in place, we have taken steps aimed at reducing volatility and improving performance going forward. Fueled by a strengthening US economy, the stock market moved higher during the first six months of the reporting period. In this environment, investors favored stocks of small and highly leveraged, speculative companies that had the most to gain in an improving economy. However, sentiment changed dramatically in the second half of the period as investors became concerned about the strength of the recovery. That concern resulted in a shift toward stocks of larger, more stable companies. While the fund's substantial exposure to technology helped performance in the first half of the reporting period, its emphasis on the technology services and software industries was out of step with the index. The fund also was underrepresented in specialty semiconductor stocks, which were the best performers in the sector. However, investments in Lexmark International, a computer printer and peripheral company, and Autodesk, a software company, made positive contributions to performance (1.0% and 1.4% of net assets, respectively). The fund delivered a solid return for the year on the strength of several energy and health care holdings. In energy, rising oil prices boosted oil services stocks XTO Energy and National-Oilwell (1.8% and 2.0% of net assets, respectively). The energy sector also benefited from the fact that companies have begun exploring for new energy sources after several years of underinvestment. In health care, the fund's investments in DaVita, a dialysis services company, and Renal Care Group, a medical equipment and supply company also helped performance (1.6% and 1.7% of net assets, respectively). Although US stock markets traded lower over the past few months, we see reasons for optimism-and attractive investment opportunities-ahead. We believe that stock prices have become more attractive recently, particularly in light of our expectation for modest but stable growth over the near term. As part of a major restructuring of the fund, we have also taken steps to limit the fund's exposure to any one industry in order to help manage risk. And, we have introduced a systematic process that places more emphasis on valuation relative to earnings growth in selecting individual stocks for the portfolio. With a new management team and a new, more disciplined investment approach in place, we believe that the fund is well positioned going forward. 36 The fund's top ten holdings (as a percentage of net assets) as of July 31, 2004 were:
(%) Amphenol 2.5 Comverse Technology 2.1 National-Oilwell 2.0 Education Management 1.9 Caremark Rx 1.8 Medicis Pharmaceutical 1.8 XTO Energy 1.8 Mircochip Technology 1.8 Renal Care Group 1.7 United Defense Industries 1.7

The Russell 2500 Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of the 2,500 smallest companies of the Russell 3000 Index. Unlike mutual funds, indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Securities in the fund may not match those in an index. Performance results reflect any reimbursement of fund expenses by the advisor or its affiliates. Absent these reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. 38 UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES -- CMG SMALL/MID CAP FUND As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. ANALYZING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors during the reporting period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the reporting period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the "actual" column is calculated using the fund's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the "hypothetical" column assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and includes the fund's actual expense ratio. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this reporting period. ESTIMATING YOUR ACTUAL EXPENSES To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period: 1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6. 2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during this period," locate the amount under "actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period. FEBRUARY 1, 2004 - JULY 31, 2004

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio of 0.75%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 366. Had the Investment Advisor not reimbursed a portion of expenses, total return would have been reduced. It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. 39 COMPARE WITH OTHER FUNDS Since all mutual fund companies are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the continuing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges or redemption or exchange fees. 40 CMG INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND A Portfolio of CMG Fund Trust MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE For the 12-month period ended July 31, 2004, CMG International Stock Fund returned 18.40%. A favorable global economic environment in the first half of the period helped the fund generate a double-digit return. The MSCI All Country World ex US Index posted a stronger return during the period. It gained 25.29%. The fund's return was slightly below the average for its peer group. The average return for the Lipper International Multi-Cap Growth Funds Category was 19.56%. (1) The portfolio's holdings within the technology sector and its exposure to certain telecommunications companies that did poorly during the second half of the period accounted for its shortfall relative to the index. There were two distinct market environments during the 12-month period. During the first six months of the period, low valuations, underestimated earnings growth and the global economic recovery provided a positive backdrop. During this period, the fund's 14% allocation to technology helped performance. However, in February the market environment began to change. As valuations began to look less attractive, fewer companies upgraded earnings estimates and concerns arose about slowing global growth. In this changed environment, the fund's relatively large technology weight detracted from the fund's return. The fund benefited from our regional allocation decisions. We reduced exposure to emerging markets from about 15% of net assets to approximately 5%. This reduction helped because emerging markets significantly underperformed developed markets. We used the proceeds from the sale of emerging market stocks to invest in Japan and the United Kingdom (UK), where the prospects for long-term economic growth appeared strong. In Japan, the economy continued to recover from a 10-year deflationary cycle. Companies have become more competitive on a global basis. The Japanese government has demonstrated a willingness to be more accommodative toward business, and we believe there is the potential for a significant amount of merger and acquisition activity. With these factors in mind, we invested heavily in banks, such as UFJ Holdings. The stock did well early in the period. However, when concerns arose about loan quality and some banks came under government investigation, Japanese financial stocks lost ground and had a negative impact on performance. We sold our position in UFJ Holdings. In the UK, we were drawn to the region's consistent GDP growth, relatively strong consumer spending and attractive housing sector. Our investments in BP PLC (2.1% of net assets), a large integrated-energy company, and in GlaxoSmithKline PLC (1.7% of net assets), a global pharmaceutical company, were positive for performance. We also invested in Austria. Here, we emphasized companies with exposure to the East European countries that have entered the European Union. We added Erste Bank der oesterreichischen Sparkassen AG (0.7% of net assets), which has had a significant pick-up in loan growth and Wienerberger AG (0.9% of net assets), the world's largest producer of bricks used in construction projects. Both companies aided total return. Overweighting the Scandinavian region-Norway, Denmark and Sweden-was also helpful. 41 At nearly 12% of net assets, the fund had more exposure to health care than the MSCI index, and that helped performance. In particular, our investment in medical technology companies such as Nobel Biocare Holding AG (0.5% of net assets) helped boost the fund's return. We believe that concerns about the rate of global economic growth and rising interest rates will continue to weigh on the market for several months. With this expectation, we have structured the portfolio more defensively by cutting back on our exposure to small companies and focusing on large, established companies with dividend-paying potential. We have also reduced the fund's risk exposure by cutting back on our technology holdings and emphasizing health care. Within health care, we have focused on the pharmaceuticals industry. We believe this more cautious positioning may help the fund weather this period of uncertainty. The fund's top ten holdings and countries (as a percentage of net assets) as of July 31, 2004 were:

We appreciate your continued confidence in CMG International Stock Fund. The Columbia Investment Team July 31, 2004 There are also specific risks involved when investing in foreign stocks, such as currency exchange rate fluctuations, economic change, instability of emerging countries and political developments. A concentration of investments in a specific sector, such as the financials sector, may cause the fund to experience increased volatility. Holdings and country breakdowns are disclosed as a percentage of net assets, and are subject to change. Because the fund is actively managed, there is no guarantee the fund will continue to maintain the holdings and country breakdown listed. The fund's holdings and their weights within the portfolio may change as market conditions change. ---------- (1) Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return for mutual funds with similar investment objectives as those of the fund. 42 [CHART] GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT, AUGUST 1, 1994 TO JULY 31, 2004

The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australia, Far East (EAFE) Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure developed market equity performance, excluding the US and Canada. The MSCI All Country World ex US Index is an unmanaged index of global stock market performance that includes developed and emerging markets but excludes the United States. Unlike mutual funds, indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Securities in the fund may not match those in an index. Performance results reflect any reimbursement of fund expenses by the advisor or its affiliates. Absent these reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. 43 UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES -- CMG INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. ANALYZING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors during the reporting period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the reporting period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the "actual" column is calculated using the fund's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the "hypothetical" column assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and includes the fund's actual expense ratio. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this reporting period. ESTIMATING YOUR ACTUAL EXPENSES To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period: 1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6. 2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during this period," locate the amount under "actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period. FEBRUARY 1, 2004 - JULY 31, 2004
ACCOUNT VALUE AT THE ACCOUNT VALUE AT THE EXPENSES PAID BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD ($) END OF THE PERIOD ($) DURING THE PERIOD ($) ACTUAL HYPOTHETICAL ACTUAL HYPOTHETICAL ACTUAL HYPOTHETICAL 1,000.00 1,000.00 967.14 1,021.14 3.66 3.76
Expenses paid during the period are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio of 0.75%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 366. Had the Investment Advisor not reimbursed a portion of expenses, total return would have been reduced. It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. 44 COMPARE WITH OTHER FUNDS Since all mutual fund companies are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the continuing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges or redemption or exchange fees. 45 CMG ENHANCED S&P 500(R) INDEX FUND A Portfolio of CMG Fund Trust FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (For a Fund Share Outstanding Throughout Each Period)

ORGANIZATION: CMG Fund Trust (the "Trust") is an Oregon business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the following diversified funds (individually referred to as a "Fund", collectively referred to as the "Funds"): CMG Enhanced S&P 500(R) Index Fund CMG Large Cap Growth Fund CMG Large Cap Value Fund CMG Mid Cap Growth Fund CMG Mid Cap Value Fund CMG Small Cap Growth Fund CMG Small Cap Value Fund CMG Small/Mid Cap Fund CMG International Stock Fund INVESTMENT GOALS. The CMG Enhanced S&P 500(R) Index Fund seeks to outperform the total return, over the long run, of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Index (the "S&P 500(R)"). The CMG Large Cap Growth Fund and CMG Large Cap Value Fund seek long-term growth by investing primarily in large capitalization equities. The CMG Mid Cap Growth Fund and CMG Mid Cap Value Fund seek long-term growth by investing primarily in middle capitalization equities. The CMG Small Cap Growth Fund and CMG Small Cap Value Fund seek long-term growth by investing primarily in small capitalization equities. The CMG Small/Mid Cap Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in small and middle capitalization equities. The CMG International Stock Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. FUND SHARES. Each Fund may issue 100 million shares of no par value capital stock, which are offered continuously at net asset value. NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: USE OF ESTIMATES. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. 119 SECURITY VALUATION. Equity securities and exchange traded funds are valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the closing bid price on such exchanges or over-the-counter markets. Short-term debt obligations maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Foreign securities are generally valued at the last sale price on the foreign exchange or market on which they trade. If any foreign share prices are not readily available as a result of limited share activity, the securities are valued at the last sale price of the local shares in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Funds' shares are determined as of such times. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 2:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such foreign securities and such exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE, which would not be reflected in the computation of the Funds' net asset value. If events materially affecting the values of such foreign securities occur and it is determined that market quotations are not reliable, then these foreign securities will be valued at their fair value using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or quotations which management believes are not appropriate, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Each Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Funds' investment advisor has determined are creditworthy. Each Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon each Fund's ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Funds seek to assert their rights. INCOME RECOGNITION. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded on the ex-date, except for certain foreign securities which are recorded as soon after ex-date as the Funds become aware of such, net of non-reclaimable tax withholdings. The Funds estimate components of distributions from real estate investment trusts (REITs). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the related investments. If the Funds no longer own the applicable securities, any distributions received in excess of income are recorded as realized gains. Effective February 1, 2004, the Funds adopted the policy to reduce cost of investments for financial statement purposes by the distributions received in excess of income from REITs. The cumulative effect of this accounting change did not impact the net assets of the Funds, but resulted in reclassifications as follows:
DECREASE IN DECREASE IN UNDISTRIBUTED COST NET INVESTMENT INCOME ----------- ------------------------- CMG Enhanced S&P 500(R) Index Fund $ 124 $ 124 CMG Small Cap Value Fund 12,920 12,920
The effect of the change for the year ended July 31, 2004 is as follows:
INCREASE IN INCREASE IN UNREALIZED DECREASE IN NET NET REALIZED APPRECIATION INVESTMENT INCOME GAIN ------------ ----------------- ------------ CMG Enhanced S&P 500(R) Index Fund $ 266 $ 266 $ - CMG Small Cap Value Fund 13,123 14,124 1,001
120 FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS. The values of all assets and liabilities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at that day's exchange rates. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes. For financial statement purposes, the Funds do not distinguish that portion of gains (losses) on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS. Each Fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income, if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, each Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that each Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded. FOREIGN CAPITAL GAINS TAXES. Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the fund level, at rates ranging from approximately 10% to 30%. The Funds accrue for such foreign taxes on net realized and unrealized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-date. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. NOTE 3. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION: The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to a Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under income tax regulations. For the year ended July 31, 2004, permanent differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for section 988 reclassification of foreign currency, foreign capital gains tax, net operating loss reclassifications, non-deductible excise tax paid and REIT adjustments were identified and reclassified among the components of the Funds' net assets as follows:

Net investment income and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed on the Statements of Operations, and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. 121 The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended July 31, 2004, the period ended July 31, 2003 and the year ended October 31, 2002 was as follows:

* The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation are primarily due to deferral of losses from wash sales. 122 Unrealized appreciation and depreciation at July 31, 2004, based on cost of investments for federal income tax purposes, excluding any unrealized appreciation and depreciation from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates, was:

Capital loss carryforwards of $11,911,256 and $4,090,680 of the CMG Small/Mid Cap Fund and CMG International Stock Fund, respectively, were utilized during the year ended July 31, 2004. Expired capital loss carryforwards are recorded as a reduction of paid-in capital. The capital loss carryforward of $4,477,765 of CMG International Stock Fund is subject to limitations under the Internal Revenue Code and may not be utilized for the year ended July 31, 2004. As a result, the Fund has $3,661,470 of undistributed long-term capital gains after the utilization of $4,090,680 of capital losses for the year ended July 31, 2004. Under current tax rules, certain currency and capital losses realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. As of July 31, 2004, post-October currency losses and capital losses attributed to security transactions were deferred to August 1, 2004 as follows:

The commitment fee is included in the unified fee. Prior to July 23, 2004, the Funds participated in a $100,000,000 uncommitted line of credit along with the other funds of the Trust and several of the Columbia Funds, an affiliated group of funds managed by the investment advisor. The uncommitted line of credit, which was scheduled to expire on July 2, 2004, was extended by the Trust and expired on July 23, 2004. For the year ended July 31, 2004, the Funds did not borrow under these arrangements. NOTE 7.

125 NOTE 8. OTHER During the year ended July 31, 2004, the CMG Mid Cap Value Fund received a reimbursement of $4,842 from Columbia. This reimbursement was due to a trading error that resulted in a loss to the Fund. During the year ended July 31, 2004, the CMG International Stock Fund purchased shares of Compass Group PLC in error. This position was subsequently sold off at a loss of $47,741 and the Fund was reimbursed by Columbia. NOTE 9. DISCLOSURE OF SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND CONTINGENCIES: FOREIGN SECURITIES. There are certain additional risks involved when investing in foreign securities that are not inherent with investments in domestic securities. These risks may involve foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, adverse political and economic developments and the possible prevention of currency exchange or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the liquidity of foreign securities may be more limited than that of domestic securities. Investments in emerging market countries are subject to additional risk. The risk of foreign investments is typically increased in less developed countries. These countries are also more likely to experience high levels of inflation, deflation or currency devaluation which could hurt their economies and securities markets. INDUSTRY FOCUS. The Funds may focus their investments in certain industries, subjecting them to greater risk than a fund that is more diversified. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Columbia, Columbia Funds Distributor, Inc. ("CFDI"), and certain of their affiliates (collectively, "The Columbia Group") have received information requests and subpoenas from various regulatory and law enforcement authorities in connection with their investigations of late trading and market timing in mutual funds as well as other industry wide issues. The Columbia Group has not uncovered any instances where Columbia or CFDI were knowingly involved in late trading of mutual fund shares. On February 24, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filed a civil complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts against Columbia and CFDI, alleging that they had violated certain provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with trading activity in mutual fund shares. Also on February 24, 2004, the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") filed a civil complaint in New York Supreme Court, County of New York against Columbia and CFDI alleging that Columbia and CFDI had violated certain New York antifraud statutes. If either Columbia or CFDI is unsuccessful in its defense of these proceedings, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor or distributor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could prevent Columbia, CFDI or any company that is an affiliated person of Columbia and CFDI from serving as an investment advisor or distributor for any registered investment company, including your fund. Your fund has been informed by Columbia that, if these results occur, it will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as your fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On March 15, 2004, Columbia and CFDI entered into agreements in principle with the SEC Division of Enforcement and NYAG in settlement of the charges. Under the agreements, Columbia and CFDI agreed, among other things, to the following conditions: payment of $70 million in disgorgement; payment of $70 million in civil penalties; an order requiring Columbia and CFDI to cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and other provisions of the federal securities laws; governance changes designed to maintain the independence of the mutual fund boards of trustees and ensure compliance with securities laws and their fiduciary duties; and retention of an independent consultant to review Columbia's and CFDI's compliance policies and procedures. The agreement requires the final approval of the SEC. In a separate agreement with the NYAG, the Columbia Group and its affiliate Banc of America Capital Management, LLC have agreed to collectively reduce mutual fund fees by $160 million over a five-year period. As a result of these matters or any adverse publicity or other developments resulting from them, there may be increased redemptions or reduced sales of fund shares, which could increase transaction costs or operating expenses, or have other adverse consequences for the funds. 126 In connection with the events described in detail above, various parties have filed suit against certain funds, their Boards and/or FleetBoston (and affiliated entities). More than 300 cases (including those filed against entities unaffiliated with the funds, their Boards and/or FleetBoston and its affiliated entities) have been consolidated in a multi-district proceeding and transferred to the Federal District Court in Maryland. Recently, certain Columbia funds and affiliated entities have been named as defendants in several derivative actions under various sections of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, alleging, among other things, that the fees and expenses paid by those funds are excessive. The funds and the other defendants to these actions, including Columbia and various affiliates, certain other mutual funds advised by Columbia and its affiliates, and various directors of such funds, have denied these allegations and are contesting the plaintiffs' claims. These suits and certain regulatory investigations are ongoing, however, based on currently available information, Columbia believes that these lawsuits are without merit, that the likelihood they will have a material adverse impact on any fund is remote, and that the lawsuits are not likely to materially affect its ability to provide investment management services to its clients, including the funds. For the year ended July 31, 2004, Columbia has assumed legal, consulting services and Trustees' fees incurred by the Funds in connection with these matters as follows: CMG Enhanced S&P 500(R) Index Fund $ 4,268 CMG Large Cap Growth Fund 1,854 CMG Large Cap Value Fund 2,045 CMG Mid Cap Growth Fund 889 CMG Mid Cap Value Fund 986 CMG Small Cap Growth Fund 1,657 CMG Small Cap Value Fund 1,799 CMG Small/Mid Cap Fund 3,385 CMG International Stock Fund 6,643

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 July 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NO BANK GUARANTEE CMG SMALL CAP FUND A Portfolio of CMG Fund Trust MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE CMG Small Cap Fund returned 9.74% for the 12-month period ended July 31, 2004. Fund performance was lower than the Russell 2000 Growth Index and the Russell 2000 Index, which returned 11.32% and 17.06%, respectively, for the same period. However, the fund outperformed the Lipper Small Cap Growth Funds Category average, which returned 9.62% for the period.(1) The fund benefited from its emphasis on health care and technology stocks. However, it lacked significant exposure to specialty semiconductor stocks, which were among the best technology performers during the year. With a new management team in place, we have taken steps aimed at reducing volatility and improving performance going forward. Fueled by a strengthening US economy, the stock market moved higher during the first six months of this reporting period. In this environment, investors favored small and highly leveraged, speculative companies that have the most to gain in an improving economy. Because the fund focuses on small-cap stocks, it was the beneficiary of this trend early in the reporting period. However, sentiment changed dramatically as investors reacted to a sluggish employment picture, the threat of higher interest rates and concerns about national security. The market's focus shifted from small companies to larger, more stable companies, and that shift hurt small-cap stocks as the year wore on. While the fund's substantial exposure to technology helped performance in the first half of the reporting period, its emphasis on the technology services and software industry was out of step with its benchmarks. Within technology, the fund was underrepresented in specialty semiconductor stocks, which were the best performers for the benchmarks. The fund delivered a solid return for the year on the strength of many of its energy and health care holdings. In energy, rising oil prices boosted oil service stocks XTO Energy and National-Oilwell (1.8% and 2.0% of net assets, respectively). The energy sector also benefited from the fact that companies have begun exploring for new energy sources after several years of under investment. In health care, the fund's investments in DaVita, a dialysis services company, and Kyphon, a medical equipment and supply company, also helped performance (1.6% and 0.6% of net assets, respectively). Although US stock markets have traded lower during the past few months, we see reasons for optimism--and attractive investment opportunities-ahead. In light of our expectation for modest but stable growth over the near term, we believe that stock prices have become more attractive. As part of a restructuring of the fund, we have taken steps to limit the fund's exposure to any one industry in order to help manage risk.

We appreciate your continued confidence in the CMG Small Cap Fund. The Columbia Investment Team July 31, 2004 Investments in small-cap companies may be subject to greater volatility and price fluctuations because small companies often have narrower markets and limited financial resources and their stocks tend to be thinly traded and less liquid than investments in larger companies. Holdings are calculated as a percentage of net assets and are subject to change. Because the fund is actively managed, there is no guarantee the fund will continue to maintain the holdings breakdown listed. The fund's holdings and their weights within the portfolio may change as market conditions change. 2 [CHART] GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT, AUGUST 1, 1994 TO JULY 31, 2004

The Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of the 2,000 smallest of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on market capitalization. The Russell 2000 Growth Index is also an unmanaged index that measures the performance of those Russell 2000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Unlike mutual funds, indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Securities in the fund may not match those in an index. Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the advisor or its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. 3 UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES - CMG SMALL CAP FUND As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. ANALYZING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors during the reporting period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the reporting period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the "actual" column is calculated using the fund's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the "hypothetical" column assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and includes the fund's actual expense ratio. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this reporting period. ESTIMATING YOUR ACTUAL EXPENSES To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period: 1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6. 2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during this period," locate the amount under "actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period. FEBRUARY 1, 2004 - JULY 31, 2004
ACCOUNT VALUE AT THE ACCOUNT VALUE AT THE EXPENSES PAID BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD ($) END OF THE PERIOD ($) DURING THE PERIOD ($) ACTUAL HYPOTHETICAL ACTUAL HYPOTHETICAL ACTUAL HYPOTHETICAL 1,000.00 1,000.00 899.25 1,020.98 3.68 3.92
Expenses paid during the period are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio of 0.78%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 366. It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. 4 COMPARE WITH OTHER FUNDS Since all mutual fund companies are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the continuing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges or redemption or exchange fees. 5 CMG SMALL CAP FUND A Portfolio of CMG Fund Trust FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (For a Fund Share Outstanding Throughout Each Period)

(a) The Fund changed its fiscal year end from October 31 to July 31. See Accompanying Notes to Financial Statements. 15 CMG SMALL CAP FUND A Portfolio of CMG Fund Trust NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS July 31, 2004 NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION: CMG Small Cap Fund (the "Fund"), a series of CMG Fund Trust (the "Trust"), is a diversified portfolio. The Trust is an Oregon business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. INVESTMENT GOAL. The Fund seeks to provide investors with long-term capital appreciation, by investing primarily in smaller capitalization companies. FUND SHARES. The Fund may issue 100 million shares of no par value capital stock, which are offered continuously at net asset value. NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: USE OF ESTIMATES. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. SECURITY VALUATION. Equity securities are valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the closing bid price on such exchanges or over-the-counter markets. Short-term debt obligations maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or quotations which management believes are not appropriate, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund's investment advisor has determined are creditworthy. The Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon the Fund's ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights. 16 INCOME RECOGNITION. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded on the ex-date, except for certain foreign securities which are recorded as soon after ex-date as the Fund becomes aware of such, net of non-reclaimable tax withholdings. Awards from class action litigation are recorded as a reduction of cost if the Fund still owns the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains. The Fund estimates components of distributions from real estate investment trusts (REITs). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the related investments. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, any distributions received in excess of income are recorded as realized gains. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS. The values of all assets and liabilities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at that day's exchange rates. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes. For financial statement purposes, the Fund does not distinguish that portion of gains (losses) on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS. The Fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income, if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-date. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. NOTE 3. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION: The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under income tax regulations. For the year ended July 31, 2004, permanent differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for net operating loss reclassifications and REIT adjustments were identified and reclassified among the components of the Fund's net assets as follows:
ACCUMULATED ACCUMULATED NET INVESTMENT LOSS NET REALIZED LOSS PAID-IN CAPITAL ------------------- ----------------- --------------- $ 2,011,150 $ 89,073 $ (2,100,223)
Net investment income and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed on the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification. 17 The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended July 31, 2004, period ended July 31, 2003 and year ended October 31, 2002 was as follows:
JULY 31, 2004 JULY 31, 2003 OCTOBER 31, 2002 ------------- ------------- ---------------- Distributions paid from: Ordinary income* $ - $ - $ 74,803
*For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions. As of July 31, 2004, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
UNDISTRIBUTED UNDISTRIBUTED ORDINARY LONG-TERM NET UNREALIZED INCOME CAPITAL GAINS APPRECIATION* ------------- ------------- -------------- $ - $ - $ 30,993,968
*The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation are primarily due to deferral of losses from wash sales. Unrealized appreciation and depreciation at July 31, 2004, based on cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was: Unrealized appreciation $ 49,486,209 Unrealized depreciation (18,492,241) ------------- Net unrealized appreciation $ 30,993,968 =============
The following capital loss carryforwards may be available to reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code:
CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARD ------------ YEAR OF EXPIRATION 2010 $ 38,443,526
Capital loss carryforwards of $58,484,878 were utilized during the year ended July 31, 2004 for the Fund. Expired capital loss carryforwards are recorded as a reduction of paid-in capital. NOTE 4. FEES AND COMPENSATION PAID TO AFFILIATES: Columbia Management Advisors, Inc. ("Columbia") is the investment advisor to the Fund. Prior to April 1, 2004, Columbia was an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of FleetBoston Financial Corporation ("FleetBoston"). Effective April 1, 2004, FleetBoston, including the Fund's investment advisor and transfer agent, was acquired by Bank of America Corporation ("BOA"). The acquisition did not change the way the Fund is managed, the investment personnel assigned to manage the Fund or the fees paid by the Fund. 18 INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE. Columbia provides administrative and other services to the Fund in addition to investment advisory services. Columbia receives a monthly investment advisory fee at the annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. PRICING & BOOKKEEPING FEES. Columbia is responsible for providing pricing and bookkeeping services to the Fund under a pricing, bookkeeping and fund administration agreement. Under a separate agreement (the "Outsourcing Agreement"), Columbia has delegated certain of those functions to State Street Corporation ("State Street"). As a result, Columbia pays fees to State Street under the Outsourcing Agreement. The Fund is not charged a fee for these services. TRANSFER AGENT FEE. Columbia Funds Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent"), an affiliate of Columbia, provides shareholder services to the Fund. For such services, the Transfer Agent receives a fee, paid monthly, at the annual rate of $28.00 per open account. Prior to November 1, 2003, the Transfer Agent was entitled to receive a monthly transfer agent fee based on a per account fee or a minimum of $1,500 per month. For the year ended July 31, 2004, the Fund's effective transfer agent fee rate was 0.001%. Effective October 13, 2003, Liberty Funds Services, Inc. was renamed Columbia Funds Services, Inc. CUSTODY CREDITS. The Fund has an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may be reduced by balance credits. The Fund could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if it had not entered into such an agreement. FEES PAID TO OFFICERS AND TRUSTEES. The Fund pays no compensation to its officers, all of whom are employees of Columbia or its affiliates. The Fund's trustees may participate in a deferred compensation plan which may be terminated at any time. Obligations of the plan will be paid solely out of the Fund's assets. OTHER. Columbia provides certain services to the Fund related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. For the year ended July 31, 2004, the Fund paid $1,794 to Columbia for such services. This amount is included in "Other expenses" on the Statement of Operations. NOTE 5. PORTFOLIO INFORMATION: For the year ended July 31, 2004, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, were $398,860,583 and $428,037,553, respectively. NOTE 6. LINE OF CREDIT: Effective July 23, 2004, the Fund and other affiliated funds began participating in a $350,000,000 credit facility, which is used for temporary or emergency purposes to facilitate portfolio liquidity. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings. In addition, the Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the unutilized line of credit. The commitment fee is included in "Other expenses" on the Statement of Operations. 19 Prior to July 23, 2004, the Fund participated in a $100,000,000 uncommitted line of credit along with the other funds of the Trust and several other Columbia Funds, an affiliated group of funds managed by the investment advisor. The uncommitted line of credit, which was scheduled to expire on July 2, 2004, was extended by the Trust and expired on July 23, 2004. For the year ended July 31, 2004, the Fund did not borrow under these arrangements. NOTE 7. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST: As of July 31, 2004, 52.6% of the outstanding shares of the Fund were held by 6 shareholders, each of which represents in excess of 5% of the Fund's shares outstanding. Subscription and redemption activity of these shareholders may have a material effect on the Fund. NOTE 8. DISCLOSURE OF SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND CONTINGENCIES: INDUSTRY FOCUS. The Fund may focus its investments in certain industries, subjecting it to greater risk than a fund that is more diversified. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Columbia, Columbia Funds Distributor, Inc. ("CFDI"), and certain of their affiliates (collectively, "the Columbia Group") have received information requests and subpoenas from various regulatory and law enforcement authorities in connection with their investigations of late trading and market timing in mutual funds as well as other industry wide issues. The Columbia Group has not uncovered any instances where Columbia or CFDI were knowingly involved in late trading of mutual fund shares. On February 24, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filed a civil complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts against Columbia and CFDI, alleging that they had violated certain provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with trading activity in mutual fund shares. Also on February 24, 2004, the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") filed a civil complaint in New York Supreme Court, County of New York against Columbia and CFDI alleging that Columbia and CFDI had violated certain New York anti-fraud statutes. If either Columbia or CFDI is unsuccessful in its defense of these proceedings, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor or distributor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could prevent Columbia, CFDI or any company that is an affiliated person of Columbia and CFDI from serving as an investment advisor or distributor for any registered investment company, including your fund. Your fund has been informed by Columbia that, if these results occur, it will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as your fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On March 15, 2004, Columbia and CFDI entered into agreements in principle with the SEC Division of Enforcement and NYAG in settlement of the charges. Under the agreements, Columbia and CFDI agreed, among other things, to the following conditions: payment of $70 million in disgorgement; payment of $70 million in civil penalties; an order requiring Columbia and CFDI to cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and other provisions of the federal securities laws; governance changes designed to maintain the independence of the mutual fund boards of trustees and ensure compliance with securities laws and their fiduciary duties; and retention of an independent consultant to review Columbia's and CFDI's compliance policies and procedures. The agreement requires the final approval of the SEC. In a separate agreement with the NYAG, the Columbia Group and its affiliate Banc of America Capital Management, LLC have agreed to collectively reduce mutual fund fees by $160 million over a five-year period. 20 As a result of these matters or any adverse publicity or other developments resulting from them, there may be increased redemptions or reduced sales of fund shares, which could increase transaction costs or operating expenses, or have other adverse consequences for the funds. In connection with the events described in detail above, various parties have filed suit against certain funds, their Boards and/or FleetBoston (and affiliated entities). More than 300 cases (including those filed against entities unaffiliated with the funds, their Boards and/or FleetBoston and its affiliated entities) have been consolidated in a multi-district proceeding and transferred to the Federal District Court in Maryland. Recently, certain Columbia funds and affiliated entities have been named as defendants in several derivative actions under various sections of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, alleging, among other things, that the fees and expenses paid by those funds are excessive. The funds and the other defendants to these actions, including Columbia and various affiliates, certain other mutual funds advised by Columbia and its affiliates, and various directors of such funds, have denied these allegations and are contesting the plaintiffs' claims. These suits and certain regulatory investigations are ongoing, however, based on currently available information, Columbia believes that these lawsuits are without merit, that the likelihood they will have a material adverse impact on any fund is remote, and that the lawsuits are not likely to materially affect its ability to provide investment management services to its clients, including the funds. For the year ended July 31, 2004, Columbia has assumed $15,278 of legal, consulting services and Trustees' fees incurred by the Fund in connection with these matters. 21 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm TO THE TRUSTEES OF CMG FUND TRUST AND SHAREHOLDERS OF CMG SMALL CAP FUND In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule 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 CMG Small Cap Fund (the "Fund"), a portfolio of CMG Fund Trust, at July 31, 2004, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and its financial highlights for 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 Fund's 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), which require that we plan and perform the audit 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 July 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

CMG STRATEGIC EQUITY FUND A Portfolio of CMG Fund Trust MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE CMG Strategic Equity Fund returned 16.58% for the 12-month period ended July 31, 2004. The fund outperformed both the S&P 500 Index and the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds average, which returned 13.17% and 12.43%, respectively.(1) Our decision to emphasize sectors that could benefit from the economic recovery helped boost performance in the first half of the fiscal year, while energy stocks have been key to the fund's strong return thus far in 2004. Caterpillar, CNH Global, Timken, Eaton, Georgia Pacific (which was sold during the period) and Dow Chemical all had a favorable impact. Later, soaring prices for oil and gas boosted energy company earnings, including those of oil services firms Halliburton and Transocean, in which we held good-sized positions. Prices for shares of Texas-based Input/Output and Norway's TGS Nopec Geophysical, two recent additions to the portfolio, also rose. These seismic exploration companies are poised to benefit as large oil companies seek new deposits of oil and gas. Our cautious approach to the lackluster consumer sector also helped relative returns, while higher interest rates led us to underweight financial services companies.(2) Fading prospects for sustained global economic growth caused emerging and other international markets to weaken after several consecutive quarters of positive returns. In Korea, Samsung Electronics fell sharply as its earnings outlook clouded over. Millicom International Cellular, which provides cellular phone services in more than a dozen developing countries, recorded a strong gain for the period despite recent profit-taking. Questions about the company's licensing in Pakistan made investors uneasy, as did concerns that arose in other emerging markets where the company operates. Based on the uncertain growth outlook for next year and an oversupply in semiconductors, we reduced the fund's overall exposure to technology issues. However, we increased holdings among software makers, including Check Point Software Technologies, which makes internet security systems, and networking specialist Novell. In health care, shares of large pharmaceutical companies remained under pressure from patent expirations and anemic new product flows. In biotechnology, where patent expirations are not a factor, Biogen Idec contributed to the fund's return. Cardinal Health, which develops and markets products and services for the health care industry, slumped sharply under the weight ---------- (1) Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return for mutual funds with similar investment objectives as those of the fund. (2) Holdings are disclosed as a percentage of net assets on July 31, 2004, and are subject to change: Caterpillar (0.5%), CNH Global (0.0%), Timken (0.5%), Eaton (0.6%), Dow Chemical (0.3%), Halliburton (0.6%), Transocean (0.6%), Input/Output (0.5%), TGS Nopec Geophysical (0.4%), Samsung Electronics (0.7%), Millicom International Cellular (0.3%), Check Point Software Technologies (0.2%), Novell (0.1%), Biogen Idec (1.0%), Cardinal Health (0.3%), AmerisourceBergen (0.2%), Microsoft (1.2%), Nestle (0.8%), and Unilever (0.4%). 1 of investigations into its accounting practices and a diminished earnings outlook. Shares of drug distribution firm AmerisourceBergen also declined. Beginning in April, larger-capitalization companies reversed a long-standing trend and began to outperform small- and mid-sized issues. That shift worked well with our desire to place the portfolio on a more conservative footing, given our doubts about the economic recovery's sustainability into next year. To capitalize on the change in investor focus, we have adjusted holdings to emphasize stocks of larger, higher quality companies. We added to our position in Microsoft. We also broadened exposure to consumer staples companies, by adding Nestle and Unilever. Consistent with our cautious approach, we increased the fund's cash position to approximately 18% at the end of the period. The fund's top ten holdings (as a percentage of net assets) as of July 31, 2004 were:
(%) 3M 1.5 Microsoft 1.2 Berkshire Hathaway 1.2 Schlumberger 1.0 Biogen Idec 1.0 JPMorgan Chase & Co. 0.9 Nestle 0.8 DST Systems 0.8 Walgreen 0.8 Pfizer 0.7
We appreciate your continued confidence in CMG Strategic Equity Fund. The Columbia Investment Team July 31, 2004 An investment in CMG Strategic Equity Fund offers the potential for long-term growth, but also involves certain risks, including stock market fluctuations due to economic and business developments. Holdings are calculated as a percentage of net assets, and are subject to change. Because the fund is actively managed, there is no guarantee the fund will continue to maintain the holdings breakdown listed. The fund's holdings and their weighting within the portfolio may change as market conditions change. 2 [CHART] GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT, OCTOBER 9, 2001 TO JULY 31, 2004

PLEASE VISIT www.columbiamanagement.com FOR DAILY AND MOST RECENT MONTH-END PERFORMANCE UPDATES. The index performance is from October 9, 2001. The Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of 500 widely held, large-capitalization U.S. stocks. Unlike mutual funds, indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Securities in the fund may not match those in an index. Performance results reflect any waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the advisor or its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. 3 UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES - CMG STRATEGIC EQUITY FUND As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. ANALYZING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors during the reporting period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the reporting period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the "actual" column is calculated using the fund's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the "hypothetical" column assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and includes the fund's actual expense ratio. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this reporting period. ESTIMATING YOUR ACTUAL EXPENSES To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period: 1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6. 2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during this period," locate the amount under "actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period. FEBRUARY 1, 2004 - JULY 31, 2004
ACCOUNT VALUE AT THE ACCOUNT VALUE AT THE EXPENSES PAID BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD ($) END OF THE PERIOD ($) DURING THE PERIOD ($) ACTUAL HYPOTHETICAL ACTUAL HYPOTHETICAL ACTUAL HYPOTHETICAL 1,000.00 1,000.00 993.54 1,022.87 1.98 2.01
Expenses paid during the period are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio of 0.40%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 366. Had the Investment Advisor not reimbursed a portion of expenses, total return would have been reduced. It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. 4 COMPARE WITH OTHER FUNDS Since all mutual fund companies are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the continuing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges or redemption or exchange fees. 5 CMG STRATEGIC EQUITY FUND A Portfolio of CMG Fund Trust FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (For a Fund Share Outstanding Throughout Each Period)

(a) The Fund changed its fiscal year end from October 31 to July 31. See Accompanying Notes to Financial Statements. 18 CMG STRATEGIC EQUITY FUND A Portfolio of CMG Fund Trust NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS July 31, 2004 NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION: CMG Strategic Equity Fund (the "Fund"), a series of CMG Fund Trust (the "Trust"), is a diversified portfolio. The Trust is an Oregon business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. INVESTMENT GOAL. The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital and total returns greater than those of the market over time. FUND SHARES. The Fund may issue 100 million shares of no par value capital stock, which are offered continuously at net asset value. NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: USE OF ESTIMATES. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. Equity securities and exchange traded funds are valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the closing bid price on such exchanges or over-the-counter markets. Short-term debt obligations maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Foreign securities are generally valued at the last sale price on the foreign exchange or market on which they trade. If any foreign share prices are not readily available as a result of limited share activity, the securities are valued at the last sale price of the local shares in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund's (Funds') shares are determined as of such times. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 2:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such foreign securities and such exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE, which would not be reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If events materially affecting the values of such foreign securities occur and it is determined that market quotations are not reliable, then these foreign securities will be valued at their fair value using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or quotations which management believes are not appropriate, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. 19 REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Fund's investment advisor has determined are creditworthy. The Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon the Fund's ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights. INCOME RECOGNITION. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded on the ex-date, except for certain foreign securities which are recorded as soon after ex-date as the Fund becomes aware of such, net of non-reclaimable tax withholdings. The Fund estimates components of distributions from real estate investment trusts (REITs). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the related investments. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, any distributions received in excess of income are recorded as realized gains. Effective February 1, 2004, the Fund adopted the policy to reduce cost of investments for financial statement purposes by the distributions received in excess of income from REITs. The cumulative effect of this accounting change did not impact the net assets of the Fund, but resulted in reclassifications as follows:
DECREASE IN DECREASE IN UNDISTRIBUTED COST NET INVESTMENT INCOME ----------- ------------------------- $ 42,856 $ 42,856
The effect of the change for the year ended July 31, 2004 is as follows:
INCREASE IN INCREASE IN UNREALIZED DECREASE IN NET NET REALIZED APPRECIATION INVESTMENT INCOME GAIN ------------ ----------------- ------------ $ 8,608 $ 24,717 $ 16,109
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS. The values of all assets and liabilities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at that day's exchange rates. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes. For financial statement purposes, the Fund does not distinguish that portion of gains (losses) on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS. The Fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income, if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-date. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. 20 NOTE 3. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION: The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under income tax regulations. For the year ended July 31, 2004, permanent differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for foreign currency transactions and REIT adjustments were identified and reclassified among the components of the Fund's net assets as follows:
UNDISTRIBUTED ACCUMULATED NET INVESTMENT NET REALIZED PAID-IN INCOME GAIN CAPITAL -------------- ------------ ------- $ (215,829) $ 215,831 $ (2)
Net investment income and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed on the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification. The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended July 31, 2004, the period ended July 31, 2003 and the year ended October 31, 2002 was as follows:
JULY 31, 2004 JULY 31, 2003 OCTOBER 31, 2002 ------------- ------------- ---------------- Distributions paid from: Ordinary income* $ 8,312,541 $ 1,463,038 $ 63,470 Long-term capital gains 2,604,136 - -
*For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions. As of July 31, 2004, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
UNDISTRIBUTED UNDISTRIBUTED ORDINARY LONG-TERM NET UNREALIZED INCOME CAPITAL GAINS APPRECIATION* -------------- -------------- -------------- $ 16,664,310 $ 17,774,912 $ 78,433,793
*The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation are primarily due to deferral of losses from wash sales and changes in the value of assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates. Unrealized appreciation and depreciation at July 31, 2004, based on cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was: Unrealized appreciation $ 89,881,655 Unrealized depreciation (11,448,321) -------------- Net unrealized appreciation $ 78,433,334 ==============
21 Capital loss carryforwards may be available to reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code. Capital loss carryforwards of $4,679,207 were utilized during the year ended July 31, 2004. Expired capital loss carryforwards are recorded as a reduction of paid-in capital. NOTE 4. FEES AND COMPENSATION PAID TO AFFILIATES: Columbia Management Advisors, Inc. ("Columbia") is the investment advisor to the Fund. Prior to April 1, 2004, Columbia was an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of FleetBoston Financial Corporation ("FleetBoston"). Effective April 1, 2004, FleetBoston, including the Fund's investment advisor and transfer agent, was acquired by Bank of America Corporation ("BOA"). The acquisition did not change the way the Fund is managed, the investment personnel assigned to manage the Fund or the fees paid by the Fund. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE. Columbia provides administrative and other services to the Fund in addition to investment advisory services. Columbia receives a monthly investment advisory fee at the annual rate of 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. In addition to the investment advisory fee, each shareholder pays an annual fee calculated as a percentage of the shareholder's net assets in the Fund. The annual fee ranges between 0.20% on the first $25 million of the shareholder's net assets in the Fund, to 0.00% on the shareholder's net assets in the Fund in excess of $25 million. PRICING & BOOKKEEPING FEES. Columbia is responsible for providing pricing and bookkeeping services to the Fund under a pricing, bookkeeping and fund administration agreement. Under a separate agreement (the "Outsourcing Agreement"), Columbia has delegated certain of those functions to State Street Corporation ("State Street"). As a result, Columbia pays fees to State Street under the Outsourcing Agreement. The Fund is not charged a fee for these services. TRANSFER AGENT FEE. Columbia Funds Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent"), an affiliate of Columbia, provides shareholder services to the Fund. For such services, the Transfer Agent receives a fee, paid monthly, at the annual rate of $28.00 per open account. Prior to November 1, 2003, the Transfer Agent was entitled to receive a monthly transfer agent fee based on a per account fee or a minimum of $1,500 per month. For the year ended July 31, 2004, the Fund's effective transfer agent fee rate was less than 0.01%. Effective October 13, 2003, Liberty Funds Services, Inc. was renamed Columbia Funds Services, Inc. EXPENSE LIMITS AND FEE REIMBURSEMENTS. Columbia has contractually agreed, through October 31, 2004, to reimburse the Fund for certain expenses so that the expenses incurred by the Fund, including the investment advisory fee, would not exceed 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. CUSTODY CREDITS. The Fund has an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may be reduced by balance credits. The Fund could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if it had not entered into such an agreement. FEES PAID TO OFFICERS AND TRUSTEES. The Fund pays no compensation to its officers, all of whom are employees of Columbia or its affiliates. 22 The Fund's trustees may participate in a deferred compensation plan which may be terminated at any time. Obligations of the plan will be paid solely out of the Fund's assets. OTHER. Columbia provides certain services to the Fund related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. For the year ended July 31, 2004, the Fund paid $1,994 to Columbia for such services. This amount is included in "Other expenses" on the Statement of Operations. NOTE 5. PORTFOLIO INFORMATION: For the year ended July 31, 2004, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, were $489,350,638 and $382,748,659, respectively. NOTE 6. LINE OF CREDIT: Effective July 23, 2004, the Fund and other affiliated funds began participating in a $350,000,000 credit facility, which is used for temporary or emergency purposes to facilitate portfolio liquidity. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings. In addition, the Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the unutilized line of credit. The commitment fee is included in "Other expenses" on the Statement of Operations. Prior to July 23, 2004, the Fund participated in a $100,000,000 uncommitted line of credit along with the other funds of the Trust and several of the Columbia Funds, an affiliated group of funds managed by the investment advisor. The uncommitted line of credit, which was scheduled to expire on July 2, 2004, was extended by the Trust and expired on July 23, 2004. For the year ended July 31, 2004, the Fund did not borrow under these arrangements. NOTE 7. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST: As of July 31, 2004, 40.5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund were held by 5 shareholders, each of which represents in excess of 5% of the Fund's shares outstanding. Subscription and redemption activity of these shareholders may have a material effect on the Fund. NOTE 8. DISCLOSURE OF SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND CONTINGENCIES: INDUSTRY FOCUS. The Fund may focus its investments in certain industries, subjecting it to greater risk than a fund that is more diversified. FOREIGN SECURITIES. There are certain additional risks involved when investing in foreign securities that are not inherent with investments in domestic securities. These risks may involve foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, adverse political and economic developments and the possible prevention of currency exchange or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the liquidity of foreign securities may be more limited than that of domestic securities. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Columbia, Columbia Funds Distributor, Inc. ("CFDI"), and certain of their affiliates (collectively, "the Columbia Group") have received information requests and subpoenas from various regulatory and law enforcement authorities in connection with their investigations of late trading and market timing in mutual funds as well as other industry wide issues. The Columbia Group has not uncovered any instances where Columbia or CFDI were knowingly involved in late trading of mutual fund shares. 23 On February 24, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filed a civil complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts against Columbia and CFDI, alleging that they had violated certain provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with trading activity in mutual fund shares. Also on February 24, 2004, the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") filed a civil complaint in New York Supreme Court, County of New York against Columbia and CFDI alleging that Columbia and CFDI had violated certain New York anti-fraud statutes. If either Columbia or CFDI is unsuccessful in its defense of these proceedings, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor or distributor for any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could prevent Columbia, CFDI or any company that is an affiliated person of Columbia and CFDI from serving as an investment advisor or distributor for any registered investment company, including your fund. Your fund has been informed by Columbia that, if these results occur, it will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as your fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On March 15, 2004, Columbia and CFDI entered into agreements in principle with the SEC Division of Enforcement and NYAG in settlement of the charges. Under the agreements, Columbia and CFDI agreed, among other things, to the following conditions: payment of $70 million in disgorgement; payment of $70 million in civil penalties; an order requiring Columbia and CFDI to cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and other provisions of the federal securities laws; governance changes designed to maintain the independence of the mutual fund boards of trustees and ensure compliance with securities laws and their fiduciary duties; and retention of an independent consultant to review Columbia's and CFDI's compliance policies and procedures. The agreement requires the final approval of the SEC. In a separate agreement with the NYAG, the Columbia Group and its affiliate Banc of America Capital Management, LLC have agreed to collectively reduce mutual fund fees by $160 million over a five-year period. As a result of these matters or any adverse publicity or other developments resulting from them, there may be increased redemptions or reduced sales of fund shares, which could increase transaction costs or operating expenses, or have other adverse consequences for the funds. In connection with the events described in detail above, various parties have filed suit against certain funds, their Boards and/or FleetBoston (and affiliated entities). More than 300 cases (including those filed against entities unaffiliated with the funds, their Boards and/or FleetBoston and its affiliated entities) have been consolidated in a multi-district proceeding and transferred to the Federal District Court in Maryland. Recently, certain Columbia funds and affiliated entities have been named as defendants in several derivative actions under various sections of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, alleging, among other things, that the fees and expenses paid by those funds are excessive. The funds and the other defendants to these actions, including Columbia and various affiliates, certain other mutual funds advised by Columbia and its affiliates, and various directors of such funds, have denied these allegations and are contesting the plaintiffs' claims. These suits and certain regulatory investigations are ongoing, however, based on currently available information, Columbia believes that these lawsuits are without merit, that the likelihood they will have a material adverse impact on any fund is remote, and that the lawsuits are not likely to materially affect its ability to provide investment management services to its clients, including the funds. For the year ended July 31, 2004, Columbia has assumed $28,731 of legal, consulting services and Trustees' fees incurred by the Fund in connection with these matters. 24 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm TO THE TRUSTEES OF CMG FUND TRUST AND SHAREHOLDERS OF CMG STRATEGIC EQUITY FUND In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule 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 CMG Strategic Equity Fund (the "Fund"), one of the portfolios of CMG Fund Trust, at July 31, 2004, and the results of its operations, changes in its net assets and financial highlights for 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 Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at July 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Boston, Massachusetts September 16, 2004 25 Unaudited Information FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION 38.21% of the ordinary income distributed by the Fund, in the period ended July 31, 2004, qualifies for the corporate dividends received deduction.

INSURED NO BANK GUARANTEE CMG CORE BOND FUND A Portfolio of CMG Fund Trust MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE For the 12-month period ended July 31, 2004, the CMG Core Bond Fund returned 4.67%. The fund's performance slightly trailed the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 4.84%, and the Lipper Corporate Debt Funds A-Rated Category, which averaged 4.75% over the same period.(1) The fund was positioned conservatively at a time when risk-taking was rewarded. For most of the 12-month period, corporate bonds outperformed Treasury securities. As the economic recovery progressed, investors gained confidence in the corporate sector and were attracted to the higher yields it offered. For the full year, corporate bonds returned 6.52%, well above the 3.87% return of Treasury securities. Among corporate bond issues, securities with lower credit ratings tended to outperform those with higher ratings. Although we increased the fund's commitment to corporate bonds during the period, the portfolio's above-average credit quality caused a slight performance shortfall relative to its index and peer group. The fund devoted only 7% of its assets to the high-yield sector, which was by far the best performing sector within the fixed-income market during the period. Short-term interest rates rose relative to longer-term rates during the period. Bonds with maturities of 10 years or longer performed better than was expected during a time of sustained economic growth and tended to outperform shorter-term securities. This trend was slightly negative for the fund, whose average maturity was slightly less than that of its index and peer group. As fixed income markets struggled in the last quarter of the reporting period, the fund benefited from its substantial allocation to the mortgage sector, which lost only 1.2% for the quarter. Among our mortgage investments, we emphasized collateralized mortgage obligations, or CMOs, which offer a yield advantage and are less sensitive to changes in interest rates than conventional mortgage securities. Higher rates hurt conventional mortgage securities because fewer homeowners refinance their mortgages when interest rates rise, thus delaying the return of principal to bond holders. In a widely anticipated move, policymakers at the Federal Reserve Board raised the federal funds rate--a key overnight bank lending rate--from 1.00% to 1.25% on June 30, 2004.(2) The fund's bias toward higher quality securities helped the fund after the Fed's action. Our minimal exposure to high-yield securities aided performance when low quality bonds declined sharply in July, erasing much of their earlier gains. Now that the Fed has signaled its intentions to raise short-term interest rates at a "measured" pace, we see every reason to maintain our defensive positioning. Overall, we expect to keep the fund's average maturity relatively short and its average credit quality relatively high. In addition, ---------- (1) Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return for mutual funds with similar investment objectives as those of the fund. (2) In August, the federal funds rate was increased to 1.50%. 1 we continue to emphasize floating rate securities and to maintain a small allocation to Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, or TIPs, which provide price protection against rising inflation.

PLEASE VISIT www.columbiamanagement.com FOR DAILY AND MOST RECENT MONTH-END PERFORMANCE UPDATES. Index performance is from September 1, 2000. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is a market value-weighted index that tracks the daily price, coupon, pay-downs, and total return performance of fixed-rate, publicly placed, dollar-denominated, and non-convertible investment grade debt issues with at least $100 million par amount outstanding and with at least one year to final maturity. Unlike mutual funds, indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Securities in the fund may not match those in an index. Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the advisor or its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. 3 UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES - CMG CORE BOND FUND As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. ANALYZING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors during the reporting period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the reporting period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the "actual" column is calculated using the fund's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the "hypothetical" column assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and includes the fund's actual expense ratio. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this reporting period. ESTIMATING YOUR ACTUAL EXPENSES To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period: 1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6. 2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during this period," locate the amount under "actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period. FEBRUARY 1, 2004 - JULY 31, 2004
ACCOUNT VALUE AT THE ACCOUNT VALUE AT THE EXPENSES PAID BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD ($) END OF THE PERIOD ($) DURING THE PERIOD ($) ACTUAL HYPOTHETICAL ACTUAL HYPOTHETICAL ACTUAL HYPOTHETICAL 1,000.00 1,000.00 1,004.13 1,023.32 1.54 1.56
Expenses paid during the period are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio of 0.31%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 366. Had the Investment Advisor not reimbursed a portion of expenses, total return would have been reduced. It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. 4 COMPARE WITH OTHER FUNDS Since all mutual fund companies are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the continuing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges or redemption or exchange fees. 5 CMG SHORT TERM BOND FUND A Portfolio of CMG Fund Trust MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE CMG Short Term Bond Fund returned 2.72% for the 12-month period ended July 31, 2004. The fund outperformed both the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index and the Merrill Lynch 1-5 Year Government/Corporate Bond Index, which returned 1.42% and 2.29%, respectively, during the period. The fund also outperformed its peer group, the Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt Funds Category, whose average return was 1.74%.(1) The fund's "barbell" structure, which combines short-term floating rate instruments with securities at the longer end of its maturity spectrum, was chiefly responsible for the strong showing. For most of the 12-month period, the fixed-income market rewarded investors who were willing to take on risk by investing in bonds with longer maturities or lower credit quality. This environment was slightly negative for the fund, which concentrates on higher quality short-term bonds. In addition, the fund sacrificed some performance by maintaining a shorter duration than its benchmarks. Duration is a measure of interest-rate sensitivity. However, the fund was able to generate a competitive return because of its barbell structure. We owned short-term floating rate notes, which carried higher yields than Treasury securities of comparable maturities. We also owned longer-term securities--in this context, those with maturities of about five years--which increased in value as long-term interest rates declined. On June 30, the Federal Reserve Board raised the federal funds rate--the key overnight bank lending rate--from 1.00% to 1.25%.(2) In anticipation of the Fed's action, fixed income markets were weak during the spring and early summer. Lower quality bonds were especially weak, reversing a trend that had been in place for over a year. In this changed environment, the fund's relatively defensive positioning was helpful. The fund also was aided by its emphasis on the mortgage sector. During the first part of the period, we shifted investments from conventional passthrough securities into structured instruments such as CMOs (collateralized mortgage obligations). This was a defensive move in advance of rising interest rates. Refinancing activity tends to slow when interest rates rise, delaying the return of principal to holders of conventional mortgage bonds. The benefit of our strategy emerged when rates ticked higher toward the end of the period and bond prices fell across all sectors. The loss sustained by Treasury and corporate bonds was twice that suffered by mortgage bonds. Because we had expected higher interest rates for some time, we did not have to make significant adjustments to the fund after the Fed declared that a series of incremental rate hikes may be in store. In particular, our emphasis on floating rate securities, whose interest payments are adjusted with market rates, helped to position the fund for a rising-rate environment. ---------- (1) Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return for mutual funds with similar investment objectives as those of the fund.

The Merrill Lynch 1-5 Year Government/Corporate Index is an unmanaged index that includes all US government debt with at least $100 million face value outstanding, and investment-grade rated corporate debt with at least $100 million face value outstanding, with a maturity between 1-5 years. The Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index is an unmanaged index that measures the return of Treasury bills with maturities of 1-3 years. Unlike mutual funds, indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Securities in the fund may not match those in an index. Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the advisor or its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. 8 UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES - CMG SHORT TERM BOND FUND As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. ANALYZING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors during the reporting period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the reporting period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the "actual" column is calculated using the fund's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the "hypothetical" column assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and includes the fund's actual expense ratio. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this reporting period. ESTIMATING YOUR ACTUAL EXPENSES To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period: 1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6. 2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during this period," locate the amount under "actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period. FEBRUARY 1, 2004 - JULY 31, 2004

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio of 0.25%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 366. Had the Investment Advisor not reimbursed a portion of expenses, total return would have been reduced. It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. 9 COMPARE WITH OTHER FUNDS Since all mutual fund companies are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the continuing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges or redemption or exchange fees. 10 CMG ULTRA SHORT TERM BOND FUND A Portfolio of CMG Fund Trust MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE CMG Ultra Short Term Bond Fund returned negative 0.08% from its inception on March 8, 2004 through July 31, 2004. The fund's performance reflected a challenging environment for bonds as interest rates rose during the period. The return was slightly lower than the return of the Citigroup One-Year U.S. Treasury Bill Index, which was negative 0.05% for the period. The fund outperformed the Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt Funds Category average, which was negative 0.38% from February 29, 2004 through July 31, 2004.(1) We believe our decision to emphasize short-term floating rate notes and asset-backed bonds helped the fund do better than its peer group. The fund's sizable cash position (primarily in short-term corporate paper) also helped performance as interest rates headed higher. Going forward we plan to put more cash to work in other sectors. However, the fund will continue to maintain a sizeable cash position because of its short-term focus. The fund launched during a period of increased economic momentum. A substantial increase in the number of new jobs added to the workforce was reported from March through May, an indication that the US labor market had finally turned the corner. The Federal Reserve Board responded to these and other signs of economic strength by announcing its intention to begin raising short-term interest rates at a measured pace. The Fed made good on its intentions by raising the federal funds rate from 1.00% to 1.25% on June 30, 2004.(2) Yields on one- and two-year Treasury notes rose sharply and prices fell in response to higher short-term rates, because yield and price move in opposite directions. In an environment of rising interest rates, the fund benefited from its substantial position in floating rate bonds. These bonds, which typically adjust their yields quarterly, have less exposure to interest rate risk than fixed-rate securities. We also took advantage of the abilities of our asset-backed research team, which identified good values in securities issued by selected companies. Asset-backed bonds are secured by income-producing assets, such as equipment, automobiles or credit card receivables. Together floating rate and asset-backed securities accounted for nearly 30% of the fund's investments. Both positions aided the fund's performance during the quarter. Despite recent weakness in several key economic indicators, we believe the economy will show improvement in the third quarter of 2004. We expect a stronger economy will lead to even higher short-term interest rates by year end, although the timing and extent of future rate increases are impossible to predict. An escalation in geopolitical risks as well as the outcome of the forthcoming presidential election could also have an impact on interest rates. We continue to pay close attention to interest rates and the economy as we continue to put new money to work in the portfolio. More importantly, we will seek to take advantage of opportunities to invest in attractively valued bonds while adhering to the fund's conservative risk profile. ---------- (1) Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return for mutual funds with similar investment objectives as those of the fund.

That was less than both the Merrill Lynch Intermediate BB Index, which returned 10.47%, and the average return of the Lipper High Current Yields Category, which was 11.91% for the period.(1) The fund's investment performance was held back because it did not own lower quality securities, which did especially well during the latter months of 2003. However, as the period wore on, the performance gap between higher and lower quality securities narrowed, and the fund's relative performance improved. As the economic recovery unfolded in 2003, fixed-income investors became increasingly willing to assume the risks of lower quality securities in return for their higher yields. The market's preference for lower quality securities created a striking performance gap: BB-rated securities returned 11.44% during the 12 months ended July 31, 2004, while CCC-rated issues returned 18.03%. The fund's strategy to generally not own CCC-rated bonds, which carry a significantly higher bankruptcy risk than higher rated securities, placed it at a disadvantage to its peer group. However, CCC-rated securities lost ground in the second half of the period. In July, they suffered a sharp decline, mirroring a sell-off in the small-cap stock market. The fund's returns were aided by favorable sector allocation decisions. In part, the fund benefited because of what it DIDN'T own. For example, the fund had no exposure to the airline sector, which suffered from increased competition and higher fuel prices. Similarly, we avoided the electric utility industry, where bonds issued by Calpine and others posted heavy losses during the second half of the period. The fund also had minimal exposure to the telecommunications sector, an industry in which many companies continued to struggle. The fund's only holding in this sector, Nextel (2.0% of net assets), improved its competitive standing during the past 12 months and was a positive performer for the fund. Energy was the fund's single biggest sector position, and it benefited from the steady increase in oil prices during the period. At the end of the period, energy represented 13% of the fund's assets. Holdings in the cable television industry also made a positive contribution to performance. Satellite companies continued to take market share from traditional cable companies, a trend that favored fund holdings such as DirecTV and Echostar (1.8% and 2.1% of net assets, respectively). Several issuers of securities that the fund holds were bought out or upgraded by rating agencies during the period. Among the fund's health care holdings, Apogent Technologies (1.7% of net assets) was bought by Fisher Scientific and its bonds appreciated sharply as a result. Within the automotive sector, American Axle and Lear were both raised to investment grade status, and the fund's bonds were sold or tendered. The fund also made several new purchases during the period. The biggest addition to the portfolio was cruise operator Royal Caribbean (2.1% of net assets), which recently completed a major ---------- (1) Lipper Inc., a widely respected data provider in the industry, calculates an average total return for mutual funds with similar investment objectives as those of the fund. 16 program to augment its fleet. With capital spending now sharply down and the travel business showing increasing strength, the company offered an attractive risk/reward profile. We also added to our health care position by purchasing bonds of hospital company HCA (1.0% of net assets). HCA has been on our focus list for some time, and we purchased bonds when they became available at favorable yield levels. On the sell side, the fund eliminated its position in entertainment company Six Flags, in anticipation of lower earnings. We also sold Canadian paper company Cascades because of valuation concerns. Overall, the fundamentals of the high yield bond market remain attractive as default rates have continued to move down. At the end of June, the Moody's trailing 12-month default rate was 3.3%, versus 5.2% at the beginning of the year. We believe the high yield market is capable of holding its ground even if interest rates tick higher. High-yield securities have historically outperformed investment grade securities in rising-rate environments. The yield advantage once enjoyed by the lowest-quality issuers has shrunk considerably. We believe that this may raise the relative performance potential of BB-rated securities in the months ahead. The fund's top ten issuers (as a percentage of net assets) as of July 31, 2004 were (%): Peabody Energy Corp. 2.2 Iron Mountain, Inc. 2.1 Caesars Entertainment 2.1 Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. 2.1 Echostar DBS 2.1 Station Casinos, Inc. 2.1 Cott Beverages, Inc. 2.1 R.H.

PLEASE VISIT www.columbiamanagement.com FOR DAILY AND MOST RECENT MONTH-END PERFORMANCE UPDATES. The Merrill Lynch Intermediate BB Index is a market-weighted index, consisting of BB cash pay bonds, which are U.S. dollar denominated bonds issued in the U.S. domestic market with maturities between 1 and 10 years. The Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield, Cash Pay Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of non-investment-grade corporate bonds. Unlike mutual funds, indices are not investments, do not incur fees or expenses and are not professionally managed. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Securities in the fund may not match those in an index. (1) Merrill Lynch Intermediate BB Index performance is from June 30, 1994. Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield, Cash Pay Index performance is from July 6, 1994. Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or reimbursement of fund expenses by the advisor or its affiliates. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that the shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. 18 UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES - CMG HIGH YIELD FUND As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. ANALYZING YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors during the reporting period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the reporting period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the "actual" column is calculated using the fund's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the "hypothetical" column assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and includes the fund's actual expense ratio. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this reporting period. ESTIMATING YOUR ACTUAL EXPENSES To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period: 1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6. 2. In the section of the table below titled "Expenses paid during this period," locate the amount under "actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period. FEBRUARY 1, 2004 - JULY 31, 2004
ACCOUNT VALUE AT THE ACCOUNT VALUE AT THE EXPENSES PAID BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD ($) END OF THE PERIOD ($) DURING THE PERIOD ($) ACTUAL HYPOTHETICAL ACTUAL HYPOTHETICAL ACTUAL HYPOTHETICAL 1,000.00 1,000.00 1,013.00 1,022.90 1.98 1.99
Expenses paid during the period are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio of 0.40%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 366. Had the Investment Advisor not reimbursed a portion of expenses, total return would have been reduced. It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. 19 COMPARE WITH OTHER FUNDS Since all mutual fund companies are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the continuing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges or redemption or exchange fees. 20 CMG CORE BOND FUND A Portfolio of CMG Fund Trust FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (For a Fund Share Outstanding Throughout Each Period)

ORGANIZATION: CMG Fund Trust (the "Trust") is an Oregon business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the following diversified funds (individually referred to as a "Fund", collectively referred to as the "Funds"): CMG Core Bond Fund CMG Short Term Bond Fund CMG Ultra Short Term Bond Fund CMG High Yield Fund INVESTMENT GOALS. The CMG Core Bond Fund seeks a high level of current income consistent with capital preservation. The CMG Short Term Bond Fund seeks a high level of current income consistent with a high degree of stability of principle. The CMG Ultra Short Term Bond Fund seeks a high level of current income consistent with the maintenance of liquidity and the preservation of principle. The CMG High Yield Fund seeks a high level of current income. Capital appreciation is a secondary objective when consistent with a high level of current income. FUND SHARES. Each Fund may issue 100 million shares of no par value capital stock, which are offered continuously at net asset value. Effective February 27, 2004, the CMG Fixed Income Securities Fund name was changed to the CMG Core Bond Fund. The CMG Ultra Short Term Bond Fund commenced operations on March 8, 2004. NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: USE OF ESTIMATES. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. SECURITY VALUATION. Debt securities generally are valued by a pricing service approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees, based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation. Certain debt securities, which tend to be more thinly traded and of lesser quality, are priced based on fundamental analysis of the financial condition of the issuer and the estimated value of any collateral. Valuations developed through pricing techniques may vary from the actual amounts realized upon sale of the securities, and the potential variation may be greater for those securities valued using fundamental analysis. 59 Short-term debt obligations maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in other investment companies are valued at net asset value. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or quotations which management believes are not appropriate, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. FUTURES CONTRACTS. Each Fund may invest in municipal and U.S. Treasury futures contracts. The Funds may invest in these instruments to hedge against the effects of changes in the value of portfolio securities due to anticipated changes in interest rates and/or market conditions, for duration management, or when the transactions are economically appropriate to the reduction of risk inherent in the management of the Funds and not for trading purposes. The use of futures contracts involves certain risks, which include: (1) imperfect correlation between the price movement of the instruments and the underlying securities, (2) inability to close out positions due to differing trading hours, or the temporary absence of a liquid market, for either the instrument or the underlying securities, or (3) an inaccurate prediction by Columbia Management Advisors, Inc. of the future direction of interest rates. Any of these risks may involve amounts exceeding the variation margin recorded in the Funds' Statement of Assets and Liabilities at any given time. Upon entering into a futures contract, each Fund deposits cash or securities with the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Funds equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin payable or receivable and offset in unrealized gains or losses. Each Fund also identifies portfolio securities as segregated with the custodian in a separate account in an amount equal to the futures contract. The Funds recognize a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Each Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Funds' investment advisor has determined are creditworthy. Each Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon each Fund's ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Funds seek to assert their rights. DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES. The Funds may trade securities on other than normal settlement terms, including securities purchased or sold on a "when-issued" basis. This may increase the risk if the other party to the transaction fails to deliver and causes the Funds to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. The Funds identify cash or liquid portfolio securities as segregated with the custodian in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment. INCOME RECOGNITION. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities. 60 FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS. Each Fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income, if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, each Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that each Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. NOTE 3. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION: The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to a Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under income tax regulations. For the year ended July 31, 2004, permanent differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for amortization/accretion adjustments and distribution reclasses were identified and reclassified among the components of the Funds' net assets as follows:
OVERDISTRIBUTED ACCUMULATED NET INVESTMENT NET REALIZED INCOME LOSS PAID-IN CAPITAL --------------- ------------ --------------- CMG Core Bond Fund $ 121,262 $ (121,262) $ - CMG Short Term Bond Fund 152,731 (152,731) - CMG Ultra Short Term Bond Fund 10,142 (10,142) - CMG High Yield Fund 656,595 (656,595) -
Net investment income and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed on the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. 61 The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended July 31, 2004, the period ended July 31, 2003 and the year ended October 31, 2002 was as follows:
JULY 31, 2004 ----------------------------------------------- TAX ORDINARY LONG-TERM RETURN INCOME* CAPITAL GAINS OF CAPITAL ------------ ------------- ---------- CMG Core Bond Fund $ 1,801,868 $ 241,107 $ - CMG Short Term Bond Fund 3,965,886 - - CMG Ultra Short Term Bond Fund 387,092 - - CMG High Yield Fund 30,204,485 - - JULY 31, 2003 ----------------------------------------------- TAX ORDINARY LONG-TERM RETURN INCOME* CAPITAL GAINS OF CAPITAL ------------ ------------- ---------- CMG Core Bond Fund $ 845,766 $ - $ - CMG Short Term Bond Fund 4,009,769 - - CMG High Yield Fund 19,919,406 - - OCTOBER 31, 2002 ----------------------------------------------- TAX ORDINARY LONG-TERM RETURN INCOME* CAPITAL GAINS OF CAPITAL ------------ ------------- ---------- CMG Core Bond Fund $ 1,881,625 $ 35,473 $ - CMG Short Term Bond Fund 7,115,313 - - CMG High Yield Fund 28,989,392 - -
* For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions. 62 As of July 31, 2004, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
NET UNDISTRIBUTED UNDISTRIBUTED UNREALIZED ORDINARY LONG-TERM APPRECIATION INCOME CAPITAL GAINS (DEPRECIATION)* ------------- ------------- --------------- CMG Core Bond Fund $ 93,984 $ - $ (123,067) CMG Short Term Bond Fund 111,556 - (70,522) CMG Ultra Short Term Bond Fund 83,111 - (337,511) CMG High Yield Fund 454,455 - $ 5,485,549
* The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation are primarily due to deferral of losses from wash sales and amortization/accretion adjustments. Unrealized appreciation and depreciation at July 31, 2004, based on cost of investments for federal income tax purposes, was:
NET UNREALIZED UNREALIZED UNREALIZED APPRECIATION APPRECIATION DEPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) ------------- ------------- --------------- CMG Core Bond Fund $ 289,808 $ (412,875) $ (123,067) CMG Short Term Bond Fund 718,412 (788,934) (70,522) CMG Ultra Short Term Bond Fund 10,850 (348,361) (337,511) CMG High Yield Fund 9,101,565 (3,616,016) 5,485,549
The following capital loss carryforwards may be available to reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code:
YEAR OF EXPIRATION --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 TOTAL ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ CMG Short Term Bond Fund $ 537,548 $ - $ 2,365,257 $ - $ 19,156 $ 2,921,961 CMG Ultra Short Term Bond Fund - - - - 29,640 29,640 CMG High Yield Fund 2,316,195 24,244,763 25,194,365 - - 51,755,323
Capital loss carryforwards of $10,079,147 were utilized and $684,212 expired during the year ended July 31, 2004 for the CMG High Yield Fund. Any capital loss carryforwards acquired as part of a merger that are permanently lost due to provisions under Internal Revenue Code are included as being expired. Expired capital loss carryforwards are recorded as a reduction of paid-in capital. Under current tax rules, certain capital losses realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. As of July 31, 2004, post-October capital losses of $66,169 attributed to security transactions were deferred to August 1, 2004 for the CMG Core Bond Fund. 63 NOTE 4. FEES AND COMPENSATION PAID TO AFFILIATES: Columbia Management Advisors, Inc. ("Columbia") is the investment advisor to the Funds. Prior to April 1, 2004, Columbia was an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of FleetBoston Financial Corporation ("FleetBoston"). Effective April 1, 2004, FleetBoston, including the Funds' investment advisor and transfer agent, was acquired by Bank of America Corporation ("BOA"). The acquisition did not change the way the Funds are managed, the investment personnel assigned to manage the Funds or the fees paid by the Funds. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE. Each Fund's investment advisory fee is a unified fee. Columbia, out of the unified fee it receives from the Funds, pays all accounting fees, legal fees, transfer agent fees, custody fees and miscellaneous expenses of the Funds. The unified fee does not include brokerage fees, taxes, Trustees' fees, Trustee legal counsel fees, audit fees, interest expenses associated with any borrowings by the Funds or extraordinary expenses, if any. The unified fees are paid monthly to Columbia at the following annual rates based on average daily net assets: CMG Core Bond Fund 0.25% CMG Short Term Bond Fund 0.25% CMG Ultra Short Term Bond Fund 0.25% CMG High Yield Fund 0.40%
Effective February 27, 2004, the investment advisory fee for the CMG Core Bond Fund and the CMG Short Term Bond Fund became a unified fee. Prior to this date, Columbia received a monthly investment advisory fee based on each Fund's average daily net assets at the following annual rates: CMG Core Bond Fund 0.35% CMG Short Term Bond Fund 0.25%
PRICING & BOOKKEEPING FEES. Columbia is responsible for providing pricing and bookkeeping services to each Fund under a pricing, bookkeeping and fund administration agreement. Under a separate agreement (the "Outsourcing Agreement"), Columbia has delegated certain of those functions to State Street Corporation ("State Street"). As a result, Columbia pays fees to State Street under the Outsourcing Agreement. The pricing and bookkeeping fees for the Funds are included in the unified fee. TRANSFER AGENT FEE. Columbia Funds Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent"), an affiliate of Columbia, provides shareholder services to the Funds. The transfer agent fees for the Funds are included in the unified fee. Prior to February 27, 2004, the Transfer Agent received a fee from the CMG Core Bond Fund and the CMG Short Term Bond Fund at the annual rate of $34.00 per open account. Prior to November 1, 2003, the Transfer Agent was entitled to receive a monthly transfer agent fee from the CMG Core Bond Fund and the CMG Short Term Bond Fund based on a per account fee or a minimum of $1,500 per month. For the year ended July 31, 2004, the effective transfer agent fee rates for the CMG Core Bond Fund and the CMG Short Term Bond Fund were 0.010% and 0.004%, respectively. Effective October 13, 2003, Liberty Fund Services, Inc. was renamed Columbia Fund Services, Inc. 64 FEE WAIVERS. Columbia has contractually agreed to reimburse the Funds through March 1, 2009 for certain expenses so that the expenses incurred by the Funds, including the investment advisory fees, would not exceed the following annual rates based on each Fund's average daily net assets: CMG Core Bond Fund 0.25% CMG Short Term Bond Fund 0.25% CMG Ultra Short Term Bond Fund 0.25% CMG High Yield Fund 0.40%
Prior to February 27, 2004, Columbia reimbursed the CMG Core Bond Fund so that the expenses incurred by the Fund, including the investment advisory fees, did not exceed 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. CUSTODY CREDITS. The CMG Core Bond Fund and CMG Short Term Bond Fund had an agreement with their custodian bank through February 26, 2004, under which custody fees may be reduced by balance credits. A Fund could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if it had not entered into such an agreement. FEES PAID TO OFFICERS AND TRUSTEES. The Funds pay no compensation to its officers, all of whom are employees of Columbia or its affiliates. The Funds' trustees may participate in a deferred compensation plan which may be terminated at any time. Obligations of the plan will be paid solely out of the Funds' assets. OTHER. Columbia provides certain services to the Funds related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. The fees for such services are included in the unified fee. NOTE 5. PORTFOLIO INFORMATION: For the year ended July 31, 2004, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, were as follows:
U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES OTHER INVESTMENT SECURITIES ------------------------------- ------------------------------- PURCHASES SALES PURCHASES SALES -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- CMG Core Bond Fund $ 63,561,312 $ 64,787,209 $ 26,893,465 $ 22,683,056 CMG Short Term Bond Fund 28,371,167 34,005,914 71,422,910 52,243,901 CMG Ultra Short Term Bond Fund 12,327,771 2,077,239 31,066,874 1,259,889 CMG High Yield Fund - - 187,970,209 226,809,088
NOTE 6. LINE OF CREDIT: Effective July 23, 2004, the Funds and other affiliated funds began participating in a $350,000,000 credit facility, which is used for temporary or emergency purposes to facilitate portfolio liquidity. Interest is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings. In addition, each Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the unutilized line of credit. The commitment fee is included in "Other expenses" on the Statement of Operations. 65 Prior to July 23, 2004, the Funds participated in a $100,000,000 uncommitted line of credit along with the Columbia Funds, an affiliated group of funds managed by the investment advisor. The uncommitted line of credit, which was scheduled to expire on July 2, 2004, was extended by the Trust and expired on July 23, 2004. For the year ended July 31, 2004, the Funds did not borrow under these arrangements. NOTE 7. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST: As of July 31, 2004, the Funds had shareholders that held greater than 5% of the shares outstanding. Subscription and redemption activity of these shareholders may have a material effect on the Funds. The numbers of shareholders greater than 5% and the aggregate percentage of shares outstanding held were as follows:
NUMBER OF % OF SHARES SHAREHOLDERS OUTSTANDING HELD ------------ ---------------- CMG Core Bond Fund 3 88.5% CMG Short Term Bond Fund 5 65.2% CMG Ultra Short Term Bond Fund 2 94.9% CMG High Yield Fund 5 54.5%
NOTE 8. DISCLOSURE OF SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND CONTINGENCIES: HIGH-YIELD SECURITIES. Investing in high-yield securities may involve greater credit risk and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. Government bonds and other higher quality fixed income securities. These securities are non-investment grade securities, often referred to as "junk bonds." Economic downturns may disrupt the high yield market and impair the ability of issuers to repay principal and interest. Also, an increase in interest rates would likely have an adverse impact on the value of such obligations. Moreover, high-yield securities may be less liquid due to the extent that there is no established retail secondary market and because of a decline in the value of such securities. INDUSTRY FOCUS. The Funds may focus their investments in certain industries, subjecting them to greater risk than a fund that is more diversified. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Columbia, Columbia Funds Distributor, Inc. ("CFDI"), and certain of their affiliates (collectively, "The Columbia Group") have received information requests and subpoenas from various regulatory and law enforcement authorities in connection with their investigations of late trading and market timing in mutual funds, as well as other industry wide issues. The Columbia Group has not uncovered any instances where Columbia or CFDI were knowingly involved in late trading of mutual fund shares. On February 24, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filed a civil complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts against Columbia and CFDI, alleging that they had violated certain provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with trading activity in mutual fund shares. Also on February 24, 2004, the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") filed a civil complaint in New York Supreme Court, County of New York against Columbia and CFDI alleging that Columbia and CFDI had violated certain New York anti-fraud statutes. If either Columbia or CFDI is unsuccessful in its defense of these proceedings, it could be barred from serving as an investment advisor or distributor for any investment company registered under the Investment 66 Company Act of 1940, as amended (a "registered investment company"). Such results could prevent Columbia, CFDI or any company that is an affiliated person of Columbia and CFDI from serving as an investment advisor or distributor for any registered investment company, including your fund. Your fund has been informed by Columbia that, if these results occur, it will seek exemptive relief from the SEC to permit it to continue to serve as your fund's investment advisor. There is no assurance that such exemptive relief will be granted. On March 15, 2004, Columbia and CFDI entered into agreements in principle with the SEC Division of Enforcement and NYAG in settlement of the charges. Under the agreements, Columbia and CFDI agreed, among other things, to the following conditions: payment of $70 million in disgorgement; payment of $70 million in civil penalties; an order requiring Columbia and CFDI to cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and other provisions of the federal securities laws; governance changes designed to maintain the independence of the mutual fund boards of trustees and ensure compliance with securities laws and their fiduciary duties; and retention of an independent consultant to review Columbia's and CFDI's compliance policies and procedures. The agreement requires the final approval of the SEC. In a separate agreement with the NYAG, the Columbia Group and its affiliate Banc of America Capital Management, LLC have agreed to collectively reduce mutual fund fees by $160 million over a five-year period. As a result of these matters or any adverse publicity or other developments resulting from them, there may be increased redemptions or reduced sales of fund shares, which could increase transaction costs or operating expenses, or have other adverse consequences for the funds. In connection with the events described in detail above, various parties have filed suit against certain funds, their Boards and/or FleetBoston (and affiliated entities). More than 300 cases (including those filed against entities unaffiliated with the funds, their Boards and/or FleetBoston and its affiliated entities) have been consolidated in a multi-district proceeding and transferred to the Federal District Court in Maryland. Recently, certain Columbia funds and affiliated entities have been named as defendants in several derivative actions under various sections of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, alleging, among other things, that the fees and expenses paid by those funds are excessive. The funds and the other defendants to these actions, including Columbia and various affiliates, certain other mutual funds advised by Columbia and its affiliates, and various directors of such funds, have denied these allegations and are contesting the plaintiffs' claims. These suits and certain regulatory investigations are ongoing, however, based on currently available information, Columbia believes that these lawsuits are without merit, that the likelihood they will have a material adverse impact on any fund is remote, and that the lawsuits are not likely to materially affect its ability to provide investment management services to its clients, including the funds. For the year ended July 31, 2004, Columbia has assumed legal, consulting services and Trustees' fees incurred by the Funds in connection with these matters as follows: CMG Core Bond Fund $ 1,934 CMG Short Term Bond Fund 5,531 CMG Ultra Short Term Bond Fund - CMG High Yield Fund 18,229
67 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CMG FUND TRUST AND THE SHAREHOLDERS OF CMG CORE BOND FUND, CMG SHORT TERM BOND FUND, CMG ULTRA SHORT TERM BOND FUND AND CMG HIGH YIELD FUND 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 CMG Core Bond Fund, (formerly CMG Fixed Income Securities Fund), CMG Short Term Bond Fund, CMG Ultra Short Term Bond Fund and CMG High Yield Fund (the "Funds") (each a series of CMG Fund Trust), at July 31, 2004, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and their financial highlights for 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), which 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 July 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

(e)(1) AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES I. GENERAL OVERVIEW The Audit Committee of the registrant has adopted a formal policy (the "Policy") which sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which the Audit Committee will pre-approve (i) all audit and non-audit (including audit related, tax and all other) services provided by the registrant's independent auditor to the registrant and individual funds (collectively "Fund Services"), and (ii) all non-audit services provided by the registrant's independent auditor to the funds' adviser or a control affiliate of the adviser, that relate directly to the funds' operations and financial reporting (collectively "Fund-related Adviser Services"). A "control affiliate" is an entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the funds, and the term "adviser" is deemed to exclude any unaffiliated sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted or overseen by another investment adviser. The adviser and control affiliates are collectively referred to as "Adviser Entities." The Audit Committee uses a combination of specific (on a case-by-case basis as potential services are contemplated) and general (pre-determined list of permitted services) pre-approvals. Unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the independent auditor. The Policy does not delegate the Audit Committee's responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor to management. II. GENERAL PROCEDURES On an annual basis, the Fund Treasurer and/or Director of Trustee Administration shall submit to the Audit Committee a schedule of the types of Fund Services and Fund-related Adviser Services that are subject to general pre-approval. These schedules will provide a description of each type of service that is subject to general pre-approval and, where possible, will provide estimated fees for each instance of providing each service. This general pre-approval and related fees (where provided) will generally cover a one-year period (for example, from July 1 through July 31 of the following year). The Audit Committee will review and approve the types of services and review the projected fees for the next one-year period and may add to, or subtract from, the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. This approval acknowledges that the Audit Committee is in agreement with the specific types of services that the independent auditor will be permitted to perform. The fee amounts will be updated to the extent necessary at other regularly scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee. In addition to the fees for each individual service, the Audit Committee has the authority to implement a fee cap on the aggregate amount of non-audit services provided to an individual fund. If, subsequent to general pre-approval, a fund, its investment adviser or a control affiliate determines that it would like to engage the independent auditor to perform a service that requires pre-approval and that is not included in the general pre-approval list, the specific pre-approval procedure shall be as follows: - A brief written request shall be prepared by management detailing the proposed engagement with explanation as to why the work is proposed to be performed by the independent auditor; - The request should be addressed to the Audit Committee with copies to the Fund Treasurer and/or Director of Trustee Administration; - The Fund Treasurer and/or Director of Trustee Administration will arrange for a discussion of the service to be included on the agenda for the next regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting, when the Committee will discuss the proposed engagement and approve or deny the request. - If the timing of the project is critical and the project needs to commence before the next regularly scheduled meeting, the Chairperson of the Audit Committee may approve or deny the request on behalf of the Audit Committee, or, in the Chairperson's discretion, determine to call a special meeting of the Audit Committee for the purpose of considering the proposal. Should the Chairperson of the Audit Committee be unavailable, any other member of the Audit Committee may serve as an alternate for the purpose of approving or denying the request. Discussion with the Chairperson (or alternate, if necessary) will be arranged by the Fund Treasurer and/or Director of Trustee Administration. The independent auditor will not commence any such project unless and until specific approval has been given. III. CERTAIN OTHER SERVICES PROVIDED TO ADVISER ENTITIES The Audit Committee recognizes that there are cases where services proposed to be provided by the independent auditor to the adviser or control affiliates are not Fund-related Adviser Services within the meaning of the Policy, but nonetheless may be relevant to the Audit Committee's ongoing evaluation of the auditor's independence and objectivity with respect to its audit services to the funds. As a result, in all cases where an Adviser Entity engages the independent auditor to provide audit or non-audit services that are not Fund Services or Fund-related Adviser Services, were not subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee, and the projected fees for any such engagement (or the aggregate of all such engagements during the period covered by the Policy) exceeds a pre-determined threshold established by the Audit Committee; the independent auditor, Fund Treasurer and/or Director of Trustee Administration will notify the Audit Committee not later than its next meeting. Such notification shall include a general description of the services provided, the entity that is to be the recipient of such services, the timing of the engagement, the entity's reasons for selecting the independent auditor, and the projected fees. Such information will allow the Audit Committee to consider whether non-audit services provided to the adviser and Adviser Entities, which were not subject to Audit Committee pre-approval, are compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence with respect to the Funds. IV. REPORTING TO THE AUDIT COMMITTEE The Fund Treasurer or Director of Trustee Administration shall report to the Audit Committee at each of its regular meetings regarding all Fund Services or Fund-related Adviser Services initiated since the last such report was rendered, including: - A general description of the services, and - Actual billed and projected fees, and - The means by which such Fund Services or Fund-related Adviser Services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee. In addition, the independent auditor shall report to the Audit Committee annually, and no more than 90 days prior to the filing of audit reports with the SEC, all non-audit services provided to entities in the funds' "investment company complex," as defined by SEC rules, that did not require pre-approval under the Policy. V. AMENDMENTS; ANNUAL APPROVAL BY AUDIT COMMITTEE The Policy may be amended from time to time by the Audit Committee. Prompt notice of any amendments will be provided to the independent auditor, Fund Treasurer and Director of Trustee Administration. The Policy shall be reviewed and approved at least annually by the Audit Committee. ***** (e)(2) This information has been included in items (b)-(d) above. (f) Not applicable. (g) All non-audit fees billed by the registrant's accountant for services rendered to the registrant for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2004 and July 31, 2003 are disclosed in (b)-(d) above. All non-audit fees billed by the registrant's accountant for services rendered to the registrant's investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2004 and July 31, 2003 are also disclosed in (b)-(d) above. Such fees were approximately $95,000 and $95,000, respectively. (h) The registrant's Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence. The Audit Committee determined that the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence. ITEM 5. AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANTS.
