       -----------------------------------------------------------------
 
A LOOK AT THE FIRST HALF
 
The first six months of 1997 provided a wild ride for investors. The stage was
set on March 25, when the Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate by .25%
(the rate banks charge one another to lend money overnight). This was the first
time the Fed had increased interest rates in two years. Immediately after this
rate hike, many investors wondered whether this would be a one-time move by the
Fed to slow economic growth or the first in a series of hikes to reduce
potential inflationary pressures.
 
While investors' concerns about further Fed moves were short-lived, they had
extreme consequences for the market. By mid-April, the S&P 500 had given back
all of its gains for the year, and smaller stocks were down by as much as 10%.
The market, however, responded with a vengeance, and by mid-June, the S&P 500
had resurged by as much as 20% from its flat yearly performance. Smaller stocks
also joined in the stampede, up almost 12% in the month of May alone.

The shift in market sentiment occurred when investors began to realize that
rapid economic growth in the first quarter was not accompanied by higher
inflation and that growth was slowing in the second quarter. In fact, inflation
rates appeared to be declining. Producer prices, as illustrated below, had
fallen for five straight months for the first time since 1952. Accordingly, the
Fed had little reason to raise rates again during the second quarter. Corporate
earnings continued to exceed expectations, and investors responded
enthusiastically.

The PPI measures average change in prices received by domestic 
producers of commodities at all stages of processing and is 
generally used as a barometer of change in wholesale prices.

At this point, it's important to note that much of the market's strength has
been driven by a narrow set of the largest capitalization stocks. Their rate of
appreciation continues to approach record levels, pushing many market valuations
beyond their historical parameters. This dramatic stratification of performance
is illustrated on page 2.
 
In the past, such momentum in the stock market has only occurred when the
economy has emerged from recession. Performance during the second quarter,
however, has occurred on the heels of two years of stellar stock market
performance, in the midst of a recovery dating back to 1990.
 
CURRENT OUTLOOK
 
Even though many stocks are priced at levels that leave little room for earnings
disappointment, this investment environment seems better than any other in
memory. Corporate downsizing and falling technology prices continue to
contribute to increased productivity.

Stock repurchases and industry consolidation have become commonplace, which has
led to a cumulative withdrawal of $500 billion in stocks since the secular bull
market began in 1982. This reduction of supply has occurred while demographic
factors have created a record demand for financial assets.

Continued tightening of the labor market, however, is likely to put upward
pressure on wages, which could trigger fears of future inflation. While the Fed
has said that it would move to raise rates if necessary, they seem to be testing
the economy's ability to grow without higher inflation. So far, signs indicate
that inflation is not a concern; retail sales have fallen for three consecutive
months and long-term interest rates have declined modestly from their highs in
April, suggesting that economic growth may slow from unsustainable levels
earlier in the year.
 
The fixed income market remains highly susceptible to the latest economic
reports. With the most recent news of slowing growth, the bond market has pushed
rates close to 1996 year-end levels. But given the recent runup in bond prices,
we believe that the fixed income market is vulnerable if economic news becomes
more positive.

On the international front, economic strength is accelerating and inflation is
low. Many foreign stock markets continue to show strength, with Latin America
leading the pack. We note that foreign purchases of U.S. equities are
increasing, as interest rates worldwide continue to favor investment in the
United States. With our economy currently viewed as one of the strongest among
major trading partners, the dollar has been strong against European currencies
and the Japanese yen.
 
INVESTMENT STRATEGY
 
As we look to the second half of 1997, we believe that economic growth may again
pick up to levels that could concern the Fed. Rising consumer incomes and
confidence could lead to higher spending. Historically, such an increase in
consumption has spilled over to the manufacturing sector, resulting in higher
production, rising prices and increased interest rates. Under this scenario, the
Fed may act to tighten interest rates.
 
Given the extraordinary heights reached by the stock market, we believe some
caution is warranted. Price/earnings ratios (P/Es) are high relative to
inflation and interest rates, and equity dividend yields are at all time lows,
as shown on page three. At current valuation levels, we believe the stock market
is vulnerable to even minor changes in fundamentals or perceptions. Our equity
portfolios are positioned, therefore, with a weighted average capitalization
that is smaller than the market, intended to reduce portfolio risk in the event
of a correction in the price of stocks with the highest

valuations. Weightings in small cap stocks, international names and real estate
investment trusts also provide a measure of defense, and we continue to maintain
a conservative, neutral allocation between stocks and bonds.

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, Columbia Common Stock Fund returned
16.38%, following one of the biggest quarterly stock market advances in recent
years. Leading groups in the portfolio included drug manufacturers, select
technology issues, machinery, paper and finance. A number of individual issues
like Sunbeam (2.1% of net assets), Mattel (1.2%), and Fred Meyer (2.3%) were
also strong performers. After good performance in the first quarter, energy and
real estate investment trusts (REITs) were among the lagging groups in the
second quarter.

As of June 30, 1997
 
The Fund's primary focus during the period was to manage risk, avoiding high-
priced issues we believed were susceptible to disappointment. As part of this
effort, we reduced holdings in autos, metals, technology, and health. Although
REITs continue to be well represented in the portfolio (6% at the end of the
period), we reduced our position late in the period, due to lagging performance
in the second quarter. Major additions to the portfolio included consumer
staples, such as food retailers and cosmetics, and consumer nondurable names.
 
With the stock market selling at the higher end of historic valuations, we are
mindful of the need to balance growth prospects with investment risk in
positioning the portfolio. The Fund continues its top-down, sector rotation
approach to investing, where broad indicators such as economic growth,
inflation, interest rates and monetary policy are analyzed prior to individual
stock selection.

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, Columbia Growth Fund posted a total
return of 14.83%. Sectors that contributed to fund performance during the period
included select technology stocks, multinational growth companies, financial
stocks and drug stocks. Lagging areas included real estate investment trusts
(REITs), entertainment and gaming.
 
In trading activity, we reduced positions in gaming, REITs and the chemical
sector. On the buy side, we added to our position in Mead Corp. (1.4% of net
assets) to take advantage of stronger paper fundamentals. We also purchased Avon
(.6%), American Stores (1.3%) and Payless Shoe Source (1.3%) because of their
favorable expected growth rates.

</TABLE>
 
As of June 30, 1997
 
The Fund underperformed the S&P 500 during the period, because investors have
recently demonstrated an overwhelming preference for large capitalization
stocks. As a result, the valuations of large cap stocks have been driven to
record high levels. To minimize investment risk in the portfolio, we have
avoided these more expensive stocks, because we believe they are vulnerable to
disappointment. Based on independent analyst estimates, the average earnings
growth rates for stocks held by Columbia Growth Fund exceed that of the S&P 500
stocks. We also believe that the balance sheets and inherent profitablity of the
companies we hold are better, on average, than those of the Index. While one
might expect the P/E ratios for companies with strong growth potential and
excellent fundamentals to be relatively expensive, they are actually very
attractively valued. This combination of favorable growth prospects and
attractive valuations, we believe, should reward shareholders of the Fund in the
future.

Columbia International Stock Fund posted a total return of 17.68% for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. Foreign markets rewarded investors during the
period, as many markets posted double-digit returns. Southeast Asia, however,
performed generally poorly but our holdings in this area were limited to small
positions in Malaysia. The Fund also holds some "red chips" (Mainland China
companies that are traded on the Hong Kong stock exchange) that posted extremely
strong gains during the period. The largest foreign market, Japan, also had
strong gains during the second quarter, after struggling in the first quarter.

We are keeping a significant weighting in Japan, continuing our emphasis in the
technology sector with some recent additions to the banking and real estate
sectors. The Japanese economy is finally beginning to recover, and we anticipate
that consumer and business confidence will return, providing potential strength
in coming months.
 
To capitalize on the opportunities in Latin America, the Fund has invested in
Brazil, which benefited performance throughout the period. Other emerging
markets we have emphasized include India, Taiwan, and Korea.
 
Major European markets such as the U.K., France and Germany continue to expand
amid signs that economic growth is gaining momentum. Lower interest rates have
also contributed to stronger economic growth as well as positive stock market
performance.

The Fund was up 7.46% for the six months ended June 30, 1997, as small- to
mid-cap stocks recovered from declines posted during the first quarter. Areas
that contributed to the Fund's positive results throughout the period included
paper stocks, service companies and consumer nondurable stocks, such as those in
retail, restaurants, and health care. At the same time, the metals sector
lagged, as did a variety of companies whose near-term earnings were
disappointing, thus penalizing Fund performance. In the second quarter, we
reduced positions in gold stocks, which were underperforming. We also sold
energy services companies, transportation and entertainment stocks as they met
our price objectives.

As of June 30, 1997
 
In preparation for the second half of 1997, we are focusing on opportunities for
growth in such areas as business services, retail, restaurants, hotels and
health care. To capitalize on solid economic growth and in anticipation of a
more balanced approach by investors, we are currently emphasizing paper, cement
and aluminum. We remain underweighted in finance, technology, and energy.
 
With our emphasis on small- to mid-size company stocks, we believe the Fund is
well-positioned to benefit from any broadening of the stock market, in contrast
to the market's most recent narrow focus on large company stocks. The Fund
remains well-diversified with a total of 125 different issues having a median
market capitalization of $1.4 billion.

The Fund had a total return of 13.78% for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
After surviving a challenging and volatile first quarter, the small cap sector
rebounded from its April lows, and posted solid performance for the second
quarter.
Although Columbia Small Cap Fund outperformed the broader stock market during
the second quarter, small company stocks in general have not kept pace with the
rapid appreciation of large company stocks. However, we believe that the market
will ultimately recognize the value and growth prospects of the small cap
sector, leading to an eventual broadening of market performance.

As of June 30, 1997
 
In trading activity, we reduced holdings in stocks whose valuations we felt were
at risk early in the year, and increased positions in stocks expected to perform
well in a steady growth environment. We took profits in transportation stocks as
they reached our price targets. We increased positions in specialty retailers,
which benefited fund performance. Taking profits in the energy sector during the
first quarter was well timed, since energy trailed other sectors during the
second quarter. Late in the second quarter, however, we added back to energy
stocks as they began to outperform and gas prices stabilized.
 
After penalizing fund performance in the first quarter, technology and health
care both performed well later in the half. We reduced holdings in these two
sectors in the first quarter, but we are now maintaining overweighted positions,
because their earnings growth appears strong and their long-term prospects
remain favorable. Areas of relative weakness during the second quarter included
gold mining and biotechnology.
 
The Fund continues to use fundamental research to identify attractively valued,
small companies with above-average earnings potential. Our bottom-up approach to
stock selection has led us to build a diversified portfolio with over 106 issues
at the end of the period, having a median market capitalization of $577 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, Columbia Real Estate Equity Fund posted
a total return of 8.33%. After a tremendous run during 1996, real estate
investment trusts corrected early in the second quarter, along with the rest of
the stock market, shortly after the Federal Reserve Board raised the federal
funds rate (the rate at which banks loan each other money overnight) on March
25. In the second quarter, investor interest in REITs paused, as attention
turned to the powerful rebound displayed by the S&P 500.
 
Investments in the hotel and residential sectors, as well as the Fund's stake in
a large California real estate developer, led performance during the period.
After a strong first quarter, our office holdings hindered performance in the
second quarter, due to a tempering of investor expectations about future growth.
 
Consequently, we reduced the Fund's significant overweighting in office REITs.
Our outlook for this sector is still positive, however, based on its sound
underlying fundamentals.

As of June 30, 1997
 
In an environment where the stock market is trading at historically high levels,
we believe that REITs offer attractive yields for investors looking to structure
their portfolios more defensively.
 
The Fund continues to seek capital appreciation and above-average current income
by investing in equity securities of companies in the real estate industry.
These companies currently include equity REITs, which own commercial income
properties as well as real estate brokers and developers.

The Fund returned 10.75% for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The first
quarter was challenging, due to pressure on bonds from increasing interest rates
and a stock market correction in March. Both the stock and bond markets,
however, rebounded in the second quarter.
 
Equity holdings in health care, consumer products and capital goods produced
exceptional gains as the stock market surged in the second quarter. In contrast,
reduced earnings prospects resulted in sluggish performance from holdings in
gaming and energy. We increased our emphasis in the consumer staples sector as
it demonstrated consistent earnings growth with many companies trading at
attractive prices. To reduce exposure to potential earnings disappointments, we
cut back technology holdings late in the period.

As of June 30, 1997
 
The predominant feature of the market's performance has been the exceptional
strength of the largest capitalization stocks. While the market's overall return
has been quite good, the clear stratification of performance, where investors
perceive that bigger is better, is reminiscent of the "nifty 50" period in the
early 1970s. These circumstances can make it difficult to outperform the S&P
Index, but we believe that the market will recognize and seek intrinsic value.
Therefore, we are maintaining exposure to financial services providers,
reasonably priced consumer products companies, retailers, and REITs.
 
In the bond portfolio, diminished concerns about stronger economic growth pushed
rates lower in the second quarter, and bond prices appreciated substantially.
Early in the year, we overweighted mortgage securities relative to the market.
Subsequently, the yield differential between mortgage and Treasury bonds
narrowed, and we took profits, decreasing the mortgage weighting. Toward the end
of the second half, yield spreads widened and we increased the mortgage
weighting once again. This strategic altering of the portfolio's holdings
enabled us to improve the Fund's fixed income return. The Fund's overweighting
in intermediate-term bonds also benefited performance in the second quarter, as
rates declined most dramatically in this portion of the yield curve.
 
In this environment of high stock market valuations, we believe a neutral
allocation between stocks and bonds is most appropriate to balance investment
risk with return.

Columbia Daily Income Company had a total return of 2.46% for the six months
ended June 30, 1997, comparing favorably to the rate of inflation, which was
1.00% during the same period, as measured by the Consumer Price Index.
 
After an exuberant economic growth rate of 5.8% in the first quarter, the
Federal Reserve Board hiked the federal funds rate (the rate at which banks lend
money to each other overnight) by .25% on March 25 as a pre-emptive strike
against inflation. Because monetary policy was limited to one rate hike during
the period, however, rates on short-term debt instruments remained relatively
stable in the first half, as did the yield of the Fund.

As always, the Fund invests in high quality, short-term debt instruments with an
average maturity of 40 to 50 days. The Fund seeks to provide the highest level
of income available consistent with the maintenance of liquidity and
preservation of capital by investing in various money market instruments. These
include commercial paper, U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. Government agency discount
notes and certificates of deposit.

After rising sharply during the first quarter, short-term interest rates fell
approximately .20% to .30% during the second quarter, and bond prices in the
portfolio appreciated. Columbia U.S. Government Securities Fund's total return
for the six months ended June 30 was 2.42%.
 
On March 25, the Federal Reserve Board raised the federal funds rate (the rate
at which banks loan money to one another overnight) in anticipation of rising
inflationary pressures. Economic growth subsequently slowed in the second
quarter, and the Fed put off any further rate increases. As a result, short-term
Treasuries appreciated, benefiting Fund performance. Continued news of low
inflation and a shrinking federal deficit also contributed positively to Fund
performance in the second quarter.

We believe that the economy will remain healthy during the remainder of the
year, though this may increase the chance that the Federal Reserve will raise
the federal funds rate again late in 1997. Since higher interest rates would
penalize Fund performance, we have modestly shortened the portfolio's average
maturity.

The Fund posted a total return of 3.22% for the six months ended June 30. The
first quarter was characterized by a robust economy, which caused interest rates
to rise and bond prices to fall. In the second quarter, however, investors'
reduced concerns about inflation pushed interest rates down along the entire
yield curve, and bond values subsequently rose.

In trading activity, we started the year by overweighting (relative to the
market) our holdings in mortgage securities. The yield differential between
mortgages and Treasuries narrowed, providing us with an opportunity to take
profits, and decreasing the Fund's mortgage position. Toward the end of the
second half, yield spreads widened, and we increased the mortgage weighting once
again. This strategic altering of the portfolio's holdings enabled us to improve
Fund performance during the period. The Fund's overweighting in
intermediate-term bonds also benefited performance in the second quarter, as
rates declined most dramatically in this portion of the yield curve.
 
The Fund's credit quality remains high. The average maturity and duration of the
Fund are 5.9 years and 4.7 years, respectively, which are in line with the
Fund's benchmark, the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index.

Columbia Municipal Bond Fund's total return for the six months ended June 30 was
2.75%. Interest rates paid on municipal securities at the end of the period were
virtually unchanged from levels at year-end, despite some volatility in the
interim. Economic reports, meanwhile, continue to be mixed. Indications of
stronger than expected growth and rising wage pressures may prompt the Federal
Reserve to raise short-term rates later this year, which would cause some
depreciation in the prices of municipal bonds.

Although Oregon's economy continues to flourish, the State's supply of new
issues has been low. We believe that new issues will increase, however, once
many municipalities sort out the effects of recent legislation on their future
budgets.
 
The average effective maturity of securities in the Fund is intermediate-term at
approximately 8 years. The Fund's duration (a measure of risk) is approximately
6.5 years. As always, the Fund maintains a high average credit quality and is
broadly diversified across issuers within the State. We remain committed to
providing shareholders with high, after-tax returns and a low level of both
volatility and credit risk.

Columbia High Yield Fund provided a total return of 5.83% during the six months
ended June 30. The period was characterized by rising interest rates in the
first quarter and falling interest rates in the second quarter. The high yield
sector outperformed investment-grade securities throughout the period.
 
The high yield sector of the domestic fixed income market has enjoyed several
consecutive years of solid performance. Underlying fundamentals are strong even
though, in historical terms, valuations are rich compared to investment-grade
instruments. Solid growth in the United States, strong cash flows into mutual
funds, very low default rates and broadening demand by institutional investors
all have provided strength for this sector.

As of June 30, 1997
 
In trading activity during the period, we added to the chemical, diversified
media, forest products and electric utility sectors. We decreased holdings in
building materials, cable and energy. The Fund maintains a greater than market
weighting in such sectors as automotive, broadcasting, diversified media, and
hotels/gaming. The Fund is currently underweighted in high yield bonds of air
transportation, cable and forest products companies.
 
Unlike many other "junk bond" funds, Columbia High Yield Fund focuses on the
"upper tier" or "least risky" types of junk bonds. In this way, the Fund
provides investors with access to higher yielding bonds without assuming all the
risk associated with the broader high yield market.
 
The Fund's average maturity remains steady at 5.4 years. The Fund's duration, a
measure of risk, averaged 4.5 years during the period. On June 30, 41% of the
portfolio was rated Ba, 57% was rated B, and 2% was rated Baa by Moody's
Investor Services.

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, CSCF, 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.
 
SHORT SALES AGAINST THE BOX.  Certain Funds may hedge their investments against
changes in value by engaging in short sales against the box. In a short sale
against the box, the Fund sells a borrowed security that it also owns or has a
right to own without additional cash consideration. The Fund covers its
obiligation to pay back the borrowed shares by depositing the identical
securities sold short in a segregated account at the Fund's custodian bank until
the short sale transaction is closed and the borrowed shares repaid. A short
sale against the box is not a speculative transaction and does not involve the
use of leverage. This type of short sale may be used by a Fund when it desires
to protect a profit or prevent a loss in a security position without selling the
security directly. CSCF sold certain securities short against the box during the
period because it was undesirable under certain provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code that apply to investment companies to sell those securities
directly and realize a taxable gain during the period. The market value of
segregated securities to cover short positions was $1,872,222 at June 30, 1997.
As of June 30, 1997, CSCF had entered into the following short sales against the
box resulting in net unrealized depreciation of $87,183.

FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS.  CISF enters into forward foreign
currency exchange contracts to hedge certain portfolio securities denominated in
foreign currencies. Forward contracts are recorded at market value. CISF could
be exposed to risks if counterparties to the forward contracts are unable to
meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency
changes unfavorably. The effect of any change in the value of a hedged foreign
currency would be offset by the increase (resulting from a change in exchange
rates) in value of the securities denominated in that currency. Net realized
gains arising from forward contracts amounted to $241,528 and are included in
net realized gain from foreign currency transactions. CISF had no outstanding
forward contracts on June 30, 1997.

              -- 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED --
 
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 changes 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, CSF and CCSF 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 REITS.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES.  The preparation of the financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
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, 1997, 100% of the Fund's portfolio was invested in
securities rated Baa (2%), Ba (41%) or B (57%) by Moody's Investor Services,
Inc.
