           ---------------------------------------------------------
 
Dear Columbia Investor,
 
We are pleased to present the Columbia Funds 1996 Semi-Annual Report. Inside you
will  find a  discussion of  the economy and  financial markets,  in addition to
updated performance, investment and financial information on each Columbia  Fund
for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
 
The  first half  of the  year has been  an exciting  time. Our  very first fund,
Columbia Growth, embarked on  its 30th year of  operation this June, just  after
achieving  $1 billion in assets. When we  first introduced this Fund in 1967, it
was one of only  a handful of low  cost, no-load funds. Today,  we are proud  to
offer  an entire family of no-load  mutual funds, helping shareholders address a
broad spectrum of investment objectives. As  always, we remain committed to  our
goal  of  providing  investors  with  long-term,  competitive  performance  at a
reasonable cost.
 
Also during  the year,  we have  been  working to  expand our  technologies  and
services  to enhance the  depth and availability  of shareholder information. We
are also constantly evaluating the strength  of our products and services in  an
effort to maintain your confidence and satisfaction. We welcome your suggestions
about how we might serve you better.
 
We appreciate your continuing investment in Columbia Funds.

                           AN OVERVIEW OF THE MARKETS
       -----------------------------------------------------------------
 
A LOOK AT THE FIRST HALF
 
When we started the year, investors expected that the Federal Reserve would
continue its trend of lowering interest rates. And, in fact, the Fed did cut the
discount rate in January while investors remained hopeful that stock and bond
prices would keep accelerating, not unlike the financial markets of 1995.
 
Soon after the January rate cut, however, various economic indicators began to
signal a stronger economy. With commodity prices and employment figures rising,
investor concerns quickly shifted from worries that the economy was growing too
slowly to worries that it was growing too fast. Although the Federal Reserve did
not raise short-term interest rates, market forces drove long-term interest
rates sharply higher.
 
Normally, increasing bond rates would cause stock prices to decline. But money
flows into equity mutual funds increased from already record levels and
corporate earnings reports were a little better than expected. As a result,
stock prices continued advancing even as bond prices fell.

The second quarter markets contrasted sharply with those of the first quarter.
Sectors that had performed well early in the year, such as financials and
cyclicals (metals, chemicals) retreated during the second quarter as long-term
interest rates rose. Investors, in turn, shifted their focus toward the steady
growth, energy and retail sectors of the market. Later in the quarter, commodity
prices began to drift down and long-term interest rates stabilized at just above
7%.
 
CURRENT OUTLOOK
 
We believe the economy is in reasonably good shape considering the length of its
current cycle. In the second quarter, growth was above its sustainable long-term
trend but seems likely to slow. The actual rate of inflation remains low. Wage
rates -- while rising -- are modest compared to productivity gains, and the
budget deficit has been significantly reduced. Moreover, worldwide economic
health bodes well for U.S. markets as Japan's economy appears to be improving
and Europe could follow in early 1997.
 
In order for stock prices to continue to increase, we believe that the forecast
for inflation and interest rates has to remain neutral. If conditions leading to
higher inflation reappear, the Federal Reserve would almost certainly move to
decrease liquidity in the economy by increasing interest rates. Such action
could have a negative effect on stocks. On the other hand, if inflationary
concerns ease, the Fed is not likely to tighten, and the economic cycle could
extend, providing stocks and bonds with additional upside potential.
 
The market's recent focus on steady growth issues, such as consumer staples,
suggests that investors are expecting the current strength of the economy to
wane in the second half of the year. If inflationary fears subside along with an
economic slowdown, the level of long-term interest rates could be at a near-term
peak. In this case, cyclical issues such as aluminum could come back into favor
as equity investors begin to anticipate a pickup in the world economy in early
1997. This pattern of rotation from one stock group to another, based on
sentiment toward economic growth, creates opportunities to buy favored groups on
weakness and to "lean against the wind" at times of extremes.

OUR STRATEGY
 
Our investment focus continues to center on companies experiencing above-average
growth or undergoing restructuring, industries benefiting from the aging of
America, and agriculture. We also have a very slight overweighting in cyclicals
in anticipation of a pickup in global economic activity in 1997.
 
We believe that the recent decline in small cap stock prices is a normal,
healthy correction within a group where speculation had been rising and stock
prices got ahead of fundamentals. Although the small cap market is currently
experiencing heightened volatility, we continue to believe that the outlook for
small cap stocks is positive over the long term. We also favor REITs, whose
returns are expected to be attractive in a nervous market environment.
 
The following pages contain discussions of the investment activity occurring in
the Columbia Funds (except Columbia Daily Income Company) during the first six
months of the year, along with graphs illustrating the growth of $10,000 during
various time periods. Each Fund compares its performance to a relevant
benchmark. Unlike the Funds, however, these benchmark indices are not actively
managed and have no operating expenses, portfolio transaction costs, or cash
flows.
 
As always, we appreciate your continuing confidence in Columbia Funds.
 
Sincerely,
THE INVESTMENT TEAM

The Fund posted a total return of 9.96% for the six months ended June 30. Our
"Graying of America" theme made a positive contribution to performance with
holdings like Service Corp. International (3.2% of net assets) and American Home
Products (3.3% of net assets) outperforming the general stock market. Other
strong performers included consumer growth stocks as well as machinery,
electrical equipment and selected technology stocks. Metals, media, papers and
insurance were among the underperforming groups.
 
In response to a nervous stock market environment and a scarcity of dividend
yield, we significantly increased our holdings in real estate investment trusts
(REITs) from roughly 3.5% of the portfolio at the end of the first quarter to
8.3% at the end of the second quarter. We also added to our position in the
utility sector (electric, gas and communications), bringing our total exposure
to 6.5%. We continue to believe that agriculture is attractive on a long-term
basis and that certain cyclical industries like aluminum and paper will benefit
from an expected pickup in worldwide economic activity in 1997. Growth stocks
remain a foundation of our portfolio.
 
Columbia Common Stock Fund continues to be highly diversified, consisting of 84
holdings on June 30. In order to provide value and stability for shareholders,
the Fund generally invests in larger companies that are well established -- many
of which have a history of paying level or rising dividends. The Fund closed the
 
second quarter by distributing an income dividend of $.06 per share.

During the six months ended June 30, the Fund returned 11.90%, outperforming the
S&P 500, which returned 10.10% for the same period.
 
The Fund's good performance was led by strong gains in retail, gaming, lodging,
and other consumer growth issues. In addition, selected technology stocks
performed well during the period. Laggard groups included papers, metals and
media.
 
In an environment where high corporate earnings are harder to come by, we
continue to focus on companies undergoing restructuring, which we believe have a
greater likelihood of posting good profits. We are also emphasizing those
industries that stand to benefit from the "Graying of America," such as the
travel industry, entertainment and health care. In addition, due to a nervous
stock market environment, we have increased our exposure to real estate
investment trusts (REITs).
 
Columbia Growth Fund continues to seek capital appreciation for its shareholders
by investing primarily in common stocks of mid- to large-size companies. The
Fund aims for growth rather than dividend income, seeking value by focusing on
companies with superior earnings growth and profitability characteristics at
 
reasonable prices.

                    -- COLUMBIA INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND --
                    ---------------------------------------
 
The Fund posted a total return of 12.78% for the year-to-date ended June 30.
This performance compares very favorably to the Fund's benchmark, the FT/S&P
Actuaries Euro-Pacific Index, which returned 4.86% during the same period.
 
Most major international stock markets rose during the half, with the exception
of emerging markets in Southeast Asia, which were generally weak. The Japanese
market, where we have our largest country weighting, continued to move higher,
thanks to definitive evidence of economic growth and historically low interest
rates. In addition, stronger bond markets in the U.K., Spain and Italy also
provided clear support to European stock markets during the second quarter.
 
Emerging markets have been volatile this year, in many cases, showing a strong
start to the year and then generally trending downward. We have emphasized
Brazil and India in particular, where we believe prospects have been especially
attractive.
 
Foreign currencies were generally weaker than the U.S. dollar during the period,
which reduced Fund performance in U.S. dollar terms. However, through a
conservative hedging strategy, we were able to partially offset some of the
negative impact of the currency fluctuations.
 
For the near-term, we look for worldwide economic growth to pick up from
currently sluggish levels, due in part to liberal monetary policies of central
 
banks in Germany, Japan and the United States.

                          -- COLUMBIA SPECIAL FUND --
                          ---------------------------
 
The Fund returned 11.94% for the six months ended June 30. Following their
positive contribution to performance during the first quarter, the Fund's
holdings in finance, brokerage and metals were reduced. The health care sector
displayed mixed results during the period, as did technology. Telecommunications
equipment stocks demonstrated the greatest strength, while semiconductor stocks
continued to falter after their poor showing in late 1995.
 
Recently, the stock market has displayed greater volatility. In fact, following
an exceptionally strong April and May for the small- to mid-cap market, profit
taking activity and continued concerns about earnings in June caused the Fund to
give back some of its earlier gains. Given the uncertain economic environment
and upcoming presidential and congressional elections, we look for continued
investor nervousness. Nevertheless, we are structuring the portfolio for slow
but improving worldwide growth, acceptable levels of inflation and interest
rates, and sluggish corporate profit growth. We are focusing on growth companies
in niche markets, because we believe they can deliver stronger earnings than
larger companies with greater exposure to broad economic trends and foreign
currency movements.
 
The Fund generally invests about a third of its portfolio in growth stocks,
which are chosen on the basis of bottom-up, fundamental research and analysis.
Another roughly one third of the Fund's assets are selected using a top-down,
sector rotation approach, where a variety of macro-economic factors are used to
identify industries we believe will outperform the broader market. The remainder
of the portfolio is invested in companies representing special situations, such
as new issues, companies that may benefit from technological or product
developments or new management, or companies involved in tender offers,
 
leveraged buyouts or mergers.

                     -- COLUMBIA REAL ESTATE EQUITY FUND --
                     --------------------------------------
 
The Fund had a total return of 6.83% for the six months ended June 30. During
the period, we continued our emphasis on the improving fundamentals in the
office and hotel sectors, while an increased weighting in retail real estate
investment trusts (REITs) rewarded the Fund in the first half. This positive
performance was attributable to good news from retailers about consumer
spending.
 
While the office sector continued to perform well during the second quarter, the
residential sector underperformed throughout most of the first half. In
response, we trimmed holdings in this sector, offsetting some of their negative
influence.
 
The Fund continues to seek capital appreciation and above-average current income
for its shareholders by investing primarily in equity securities of companies in
the real estate industry. These companies include real estate investment trusts
(REITs), which own commercial income properties; and mortgage REITs, which make
construction development and long-term mortgage loans; as well as real estate
brokers and developers.
 
In light of the current volatility in the stock market, we believe investors
seeking stability and dividend yield will increasingly seek out REITs as an
 
attractive opportunity.

The Fund achieved a total return of 4.35% during the first six months of 1996.
Throughout the period, the equity market produced excellent returns, focusing on
the outlook for continued earnings growth. Conversely, bond market investors
became concerned early in the period that ongoing economic strength would
ultimately lead to accelerating inflation. Thus, good results in the Fund's
stock portfolio, led by business services, energy and selected technology
issues, were offset in part by broad-based weakness in bond holdings.
 
As the stock market reached new highs during the second quarter, we began the
process of reducing holdings in some areas that had been notably strong,
including energy, technology and some financial stocks. These were replaced with
issues that we believe offer better value and, having lagged the market, less
risk of disappointment. These issues include REITs and stocks in the electric
utility and paper industries.
 
Our emphasis on corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities in the fixed
income side of the portfolio, combined with an intermediate average maturity,
helped mitigate some of the price declines resulting from rising interest rates.
Towards the end of the second quarter, we slightly increased our allocation to
fixed income because we look for only a modest uptick in inflation in the coming
quarters. We believe that this makes bonds more appealing than they were
earlier, especially in light of the bond market's recent weakness. We continue
to believe that the yield advantage offered by both mortgage instruments and
corporate bonds should continue to benefit relative performance on the fixed
 
income side of the portfolio.

                 ----------------------------------------------
 
The bond market was battered by rising interest rates throughout the first half
of 1996. Declining bond prices offset much of the Fund's interest income during
the period. As a result, Columbia U.S. Government Securities Fund posted a total
return of .44% for the six months ended June 30.
 
Shorter-term bonds, especially those with 2-year maturities, were particularly
impacted when investors' expectations for Federal Reserve monetary policy
shifted from ease to tighten. However, we believe that the worst, if not all, of
the stronger than expected economic news may already be reflected in bond market
prices.
 
Good economic news is bad news for the bond market because it reduces investors'
expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates. Two-year Treasury
yields, for example, have risen approximately 1% year-to-date, reflecting a
potential increase in the Federal Funds rate of approximately .50%. The effect
of rising rates on these short-term securities has resulted in an overall
decline in price as bond values generally fall when interest rates rise.
 
Due to the conservative nature of the Fund, we expect to maintain its average
maturity at close to 2.5 years, which is slightly below the maximum allowable
 
maturity of 3 years.

The first half of the year was a difficult time for the bond market, with price
declines due to rising interest rates offsetting the Fund's interest income. The
Fund's total return, reflecting price change and interest income, was -1.51% for
the six months ended June 30.
 
A stronger than expected economy, concerns about tighter Federal Reserve policy,
and inflation fears have all been problematic for the bond market. Nevertheless,
bonds currently appear to offer good value compared to inflation. For example,
real rates of return, which is the difference between yields and inflation, are
between 3% and 4% for long-term bonds, which is above their long-term average
rate of approximately 2.90%.
 
The Fund continues to emphasize mortgage instruments and corporate bonds since
we believe their yield advantage will benefit performance. Also, the Fund's
intermediate average maturity has helped to mitigate some of the negative price
performance during the first and second quarters.
 
On June 30, the Fund had an average maturity of approximately six years and a
duration (a measure of risk) of almost five years. We currently have over 85% of
the portfolio invested in securities rated A or better, in an effort to provide
 
shareholders with a high level of income at a low level of risk.

                       -- COLUMBIA MUNICIPAL BOND FUND --
                       ----------------------------------
 
Columbia Municipal Bond Fund's total return for the six months ended June 30,
1996 was -.45%. During the period, municipal bonds suffered from rising interest
rates as the market adjusted to investors' expectations for a stronger economy,
fears that the Federal Reserve Board might raise short-term rates, and a
possibility that inflation could ignite.
 
Municipal bonds as a whole, however, significantly outperformed Treasury bonds
during the period. Interest rates on municipal bonds rose an average of .50%
while Treasury rates rose more than 1% across all maturities. (When interest
rates rise, bond values generally go down.) The outperformance of municipal
securities was due primarily to investors' current perception that a flat tax is
unlikely to occur this year or any time soon. Lower income tax rates make the
tax-exempt income of municipal securities less attractive to investors in a high
current tax bracket. While we do not expect a near-term change in the current
tax structure, municipal bonds could lag should tax reform discussions resume.
 
Over 97% of the Fund's securities were rated A or better on June 30. Almost 75%
of the Fund consists of general obligation and essential service revenue issues,
which we believe have the strongest credit characteristics of all municipal
bonds available. The Fund's average maturity is intermediate-term, at
approximately 12 years, and the Fund's duration (a measurement of risk) is
slightly longer than it was at year-end, about 6.7 years. The increased duration
is the result of purchasing bonds with slightly longer maturities to take
advantage of substantially higher yields.
 
Our holdings remain broadly diversified, including 227 different issues within
the State of Oregon. We remain committed to our goal of providing shareholders
with high, after-tax returns with a low level of both credit and volatility
 
risk.

                         -- COLUMBIA HIGH YIELD FUND --
                         ------------------------------
 
Columbia High Yield Fund posted a total return of .80% for the six months ended
June 30. Strength in economic activity, particularly gains in employment and
fears of rising inflation, has kept the bond market under pressure all year.
Interest rates on Treasury securities rose more than 1% during the period. This
resulted in negative total returns on long- and intermediate-term bonds.
However, the additional yield advantage of lower grade bonds more than offset
the decline in bond prices due to the overall upward movement of interest rates.
 
During the period, the high yield market outperformed investment-grade bonds.
Five-year Treasuries, for example, posted a total return of -1.24% for the six
months ended June 30, and 10-year Treasuries returned -4.44% for the same
period. This is because news of a strong economy reduces credit concerns in the
high yield market, but also reduces investors expectations for the Federal
Reserve to cut interest rates in the investment-grade market. Therefore, in an
accelerating economy, the lowest quality junk bonds tend to perform the best.
Keeping with its more conservative nature, Columbia High Yield Fund focuses on
the "upper tier" of non-investment grade securities by investing no more than
10% of its assets in bonds rated below B. Thus, while the Fund outperformed
investment-grade bonds during this period, it did not perform as well as the
broader junk bond market.
 
Sectors we favored in the first half of 1996 included hotel/gaming, forest
products, media and energy. Near the end of the second quarter, we reduced
holdings in the telecommunications and transportation sectors.
 
The Fund's average maturity remains steady between 5 and 5.5 years. The Fund's
duration, a measure of risk, averaged 4.39 years during the period. In keeping
with the Fund's conservative strategy, 49% of the portfolio was rated Ba on June
 
30, and 51% was rated B by Moody's Investors Services.

The  Columbia  Funds (the  Funds) consist  of Columbia  Common Stock  Fund, Inc.
(CCSF), Columbia Growth  Fund, Inc.  (CGF), Columbia  International Stock  Fund,
Inc.  (CISF), Columbia  Special Fund,  Inc. (CSF),  Columbia Real  Estate Equity
Fund, Inc. (CREF),  Columbia Balanced  Fund, Inc. (CBF),  Columbia Daily  Income
Company  (CDIC), Columbia U.S. Government Securities Fund, Inc. (CUSG), Columbia
Fixed Income Securities Fund,  Inc. (CFIS), Columbia  Municipal Bond Fund,  Inc.
(CMBF),  and Columbia High Yield Fund, Inc.  (CHYF). All Funds, except CMBF, are
open-end, diversified  investment  companies  registered  under  the  Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. CMBF is an open-end, non-diversified investment
company  registered under  the Investment Company  Act of 1940,  as amended. The
policies  described  below  are  consistently  followed  by  the  Funds  in  the
preparation  of their financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
 
INVESTMENT VALUATION.  The values of CCSF,  CGF, CISF, CSF, CREF and CBF  equity
investments  are  based  on  the  last sale  prices  reported  by  the principal
securities exchanges on which the investments are traded, or, in the absence  of
recorded  sales, at the closing bid prices on such exchanges or over-the-counter
markets.  Temporary  cash  investments  in  short-term  securities  (principally
repurchase agreements) are valued at cost, which approximates market.
 
CDIC  investments are carried at values deemed best to reflect their fair values
as determined in  good faith by  or under  the supervision of  officers of  CDIC
specifically  so authorized  by its  Directors. These  values are  based on cost
adjusted for amortization of  discount or premium  and accrued interest,  unless
unusual  circumstances indicate  that another  method of  determining fair value
should be considered.
 
CBF, CUSG, CFIS, CMBF  and CHYF fixed income  investments are carried at  values
deemed best to reflect their fair values as determined in good faith by or under
the  supervision of officers of CBF, CUSG,  CFIS, CMBF and CHYF, specifically so
authorized by their Directors. These values are based on market value as  quoted
by  dealers  who are  market makers  in  these securities  or by  an independent
pricing service unless  unusual circumstances  indicate that  another method  of
determining  fair value should be considered.  Market values for CBF, CUSG, CFIS
and CHYF fixed income investments are based on the average of bid and ask prices
and market value  for CMBF  is based  on bid prices,  or by  reference to  other
securities  with comparable  ratings, interest  rates and  maturities. Temporary
cash investments in  short-term securities  (principally repurchase  agreements)
are valued at cost, which approximates market.
 
FORWARD  FOREIGN  CURRENCY EXCHANGE  CONTRACTS.   In  connection  with portfolio
purchases and sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency, CISF enters
into foreign currency exchange contracts (contracts). Additionally, CISF  enters
into  forward  contracts to  hedge  certain other  foreign  currency denominated
assets. Contracts are recorded at market  value. CISF could be exposed to  risks
if  counterparties  to the  contracts  are unable  to  meet the  terms  of their
contracts or  if the  value of  the foreign  currency changes  unfavorably.  Net
realized  gains arising  from such transactions  amounted to  $1,099,223 and are
included in net realized gain from foreign currency transactions. As of June 30,
1996, CISF  had  entered into  forward  contracts resulting  in  net  unrealized
appreciation of $207,590, as shown in the table on the following page.

FOREIGN  CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS.  The books and records of CISF are maintained in
U.S. dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars  on
the following basis:
 
    (i)  market value of investment securities, other assets, and liabilities at
        the daily rates of exchange, and
 
    (ii)  purchases and  sales of  investment securities,  dividend and interest
        income and certain expenses at the  rates of exchange prevailing on  the
        respective dates of such transactions.
 
CISF  does not isolate that portion of  the results of operations resulting from
changes in foreign exchange rates  on investments from the fluctuations  arising
from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included
with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
 
Reported  net realized  foreign exchange  gains or  losses arise  from sales and
maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains
or losses  realized  between  the  trade  and  settlement  dates  on  securities
transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and
foreign  withholding  taxes  recorded  on  CISF's  books  and  the  U.S.  dollar
equivalent of  the amounts  actually received  or paid.  Net unrealized  foreign
exchange  gains  and  losses arise  from  changes  in the  value  of  assets and
liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the
exchange rates.
 
INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual  basis
and  dividend  income  is recorded  on  the  ex-dividend date.  The  majority of
dividend income recorded by CREF is from Real Estate Investment Trusts  (REITs).
For  tax purposes,  a portion  of these dividends  consist of  capital gains and
return of  capital.  For  financial  reporting  purposes,  these  dividends  are
recorded as dividend income.
 
SHAREHOLDER  DISTRIBUTIONS.  CCSF, CREF and CBF distribute net investment income
quarterly and any net realized gains from investment transactions annually. CGF,
CISF and  CSF  distribute net  investment  income  and any  net  realized  gains
annually.  CDIC  distributes its  net investment  income  daily -  including any
realized investment gains or losses. CUSG, CFIS, CMBF and CHYF distribute  their
net investment income monthly and any net realized gains annually. Distributions
to shareholders are recorded on the record date.
 
Income  and capital gain distributions are  determined in accordance with income
tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting  principles.
These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currency
transactions,  net  operating losses,  deferral of  losses  from wash  sales and
return of capital received from Real Estate Investment Trusts.
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES.  The Funds have made no provision for federal income taxes
on net investment income or net  realized gains from sales of securities,  since
it  is the intention of the Funds to  comply with the provisions of the Internal
Revenue  Code  available   to  certain   investment  companies,   and  to   make
distributions  of income  and security profits  sufficient to  relieve them from
substantially all federal income taxes.

OTHER.  Investment transactions  are accounted for on  the date the  investments
are  purchased or sold. The cost of investments sold is determined by the use of
the specific identification method for  both financial reporting and income  tax
purposes.  Realized gains and losses from investment transactions and unrealized
appreciation or  depreciation  of  investments  are reported  on  the  basis  of
identified  costs.  The Funds,  through  their custodians,  receive  delivery of
underlying  securities  collateralizing   repurchase  agreements  (included   in
temporary  cash investments). Market values of  these securities are required to
be at least 100% of the cost of the repurchase agreements. The Funds' investment
advisor determines that the value of  the underlying securities is at all  times
at least equal to the resale price. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the
other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may
be subject to legal proceedings.
 
CHYF  invests in lower rated  debt securities, which may  be more susceptible to
adverse economic conditions than investment grade holdings. These securities are
often  subordinated  to  the   prior  claims  of   other  senior  lenders,   and
uncertainties  exist as  to an issuer's  ability to meet  principal and interest
payments. At  June  30, 1996,  100%  of the  Fund's  portfolio was  invested  in
securities rated Ba (49%) or B (51%) by Moody's Investor Services, Inc.
