Government Obligations fund

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Government Obligations Fund (the “fund”), you incur ongoing costs, including advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2006, to August 31, 2006.

Actual Expenses

For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Prime Obligations fund

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Prime Obligations Fund (the “fund”), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs (for example, any contingent deferred sales charges that may apply on Class B or Class C shares); and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2006, to August 31, 2006.

Actual Expenses

For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.

To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

First American Funds, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of First American Funds, Inc. (comprised of the Government Obligations, Prime Obligations, Tax Free Obligations, Treasury Obligations and U.S. Treasury Money Market Funds) (the funds), including the schedules of investments, as of August 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included verification by examination of securities held by the custodian as of August 31, 2006, and confirmation of the securities held by correspondence with brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the funds comprising the First American Funds, Inc. at August 31, 2006, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

1 > Organization

The Government Obligations Fund, Prime Obligations Fund, Tax Free Obligations Fund, Treasury Obligations Fund, and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund (each a “fund” and collectively, the “funds”) are mutual funds offered by First American Funds, Inc. (“FAF”), which is a member of the First American Family of Funds. FAF is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment management company. FAF’s articles of incorporation permit the board of directors to create additional funds in the future.

FAF offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class I, Class Y, Class Z, Institutional Investor Class, Piper Jaffray Class, and Reserve Class shares. Prior to December 1, 2003, Class A shares were named Class S shares and Piper Jaffray Class shares were named Class A shares. Class A shares are not subject to sales charges. Class B and Class C shares of Prime Obligations Fund are only available pursuant to an exchange for Class B and Class C shares, respectively, of another fund in the First American Family of Funds or certain other unaffiliated funds, or in establishing a systematic exchange program that will be used to purchase Class B and Class C shares, respectively, of those funds. Class B shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge for six years and automatically convert to Class A shares after eight years. Class C shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge for 12 months, and will not convert to Class A shares. Class D, Class I, Class Y, Class Z, Institutional Investor Class, Piper Jaffray Class, and Reserve Class shares are offered only to qualifying institutional investors. Class B, Class C, and Class I shares are not offered by Government Obligations Fund, Tax Free Obligations Fund, Treasury Obligations Fund or U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund. Piper Jaffray Class shares are not offered by U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund. Reserve Class shares are offered by Treasury Obligations Fund only.

The funds’ prospectuses provide descriptions of each fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies, and principal risks. All classes of shares of a fund have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, and the same terms and conditions, except that certain fees, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees, may differ among classes. Each class has exclusive voting rights on any matters relating to that class’ servicing or distribution arrangements.

2 > Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed by the funds are as follows:

SECURITY VALUATIONS – Investment securities held are stated at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Under the amortized cost method, any discount or premium is amortized ratably to the expected maturity of the security and is included in interest income. In accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, the market values of the securities held in the funds are determined weekly using prices supplied by the funds’ pricing services. These values are then compared to the securities’ amortized cost. Securities whose market price varies from amortized cost by more than 0.5% are identified and validated with the pricing agent. If the difference between the aggregate market price and aggregate amortized cost of all securities held by a fund exceeds 50% of the allowable 0.5% threshold, the funds’ administrator will notify the funds’ board of directors. The board of directors will then determine what action, if any, to take. No such notification was required during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME – For financial statement purposes, the funds record security transactions on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Interest income, including amortization of bond premium and discount, is recorded on an accrual basis.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS – Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and are payable in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the fund at net asset value on the first business day of the following month.

FEDERAL TAXES – Each fund is treated as a separate taxable entity. Each fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company as provided in Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to distribute all taxable income, if any, to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

Net investment income and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes because of temporary or permanent book-to-tax differences. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period that the differences arise.

40      First American Funds Annual Report 2006

On the Statement of Assets and Liabilities the following reclassifications were made:

	Undistributed		Accumulated
	Net Investment		Net Realized
	Income		Gain
Tax Free Obligations Fund	$	5	$	(5	)

The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. In addition, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal period or year in which the amounts are distributed may differ from the period or year that the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by the fund. The distributions paid during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006, the fiscal period ended August 31, 2005, and the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 (adjusted by dividends payable as of August 31, 2006, August 31, 2005, and September 30, 2004) were as follows:

As of August 31, 2006, components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax-basis were as follows:

							Accumulated
	Undistributed		Undistributed		Undistributed		Capital and			Unrealized			Total
	Ordinary		Tax Exempt		Long Term		Post-October			Appreciation			Accumulated
	Income		Income		Capital Gains		Losses			(Depreciation)			Earnings
Government Obligations Fund	$	22,980	$	—	$	—	$	(8	)	$	—		$	22,972

U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund		2,942		—		—		(28	)		(7	)		2,907

The differences between book-basis and tax-basis undistributed/accumulated income, gains and losses are primarily due to distributions declared but not paid by August 31, 2006 and the deferral of wash sale losses.

As of August 31, 2006, Government Obligations Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $8 that will expire in 2014, if not offset by subsequent capital gains. As of August 31, 2006, Treasury Obligations Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $83 of which $63 will expire in 2008 and $20 will expire in 2014, if not offset by subsequent capital gains.

Prime Obligations Fund, Treasury Obligations Fund, and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund incurred losses of $5, $57, and $28, respectively, for tax purposes for the period from November 1, 2005 to August 31, 2006. As permitted by tax regulations, the funds intend to elect to defer and treat those losses as arising in the fiscal year ending August 31, 2007.

Notes to  Financial Statements August 31, 2006

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS – Each fund (other than U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund) may enter into repurchase agreements with member banks of the Federal Reserve or registered broker dealers whom the funds’ investment advisor deems creditworthy under guidelines approved by the funds’ board of directors, subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates.

Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by the custodian bank until the respective agreements mature. Each fund may also invest in triparty repurchase agreements. Securities held as collateral for triparty repurchase agreements are maintained in a segregated account by the broker’s custodian bank until the maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions of the repurchase agreements ensure that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of default of the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the fund may be delayed or limited.

SECURITIES LENDING – In order to generate additional income, each fund, other than U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, may lend securities representing up to one-third of the value of its total assets (which includes collateral for securities on loan) to broker-dealers, banks or other institutional borrowers of securities. Currently, only Government Obligations Fund and Treasury Obligations Fund lend their securities. Each fund’s policy is to maintain collateral in the form of cash, U.S. Government securities, or other high-grade debt obligations equal to at least 100% of the value of securities loaned. The collateral is then “marked to market” daily until the securities are returned. As with other extensions of credit, there may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the security fail financially. Cash collateral is invested in short-term, high quality U.S. dollar-denominated securities that would be eligible for investment by a money market fund under Investment Company Act Rule 2a-7. As of August 31, 2006, cash collateral invested was as follows:

	Repurchase
	Agreements
Government Obligations Fund	$	503,633
Treasury Obligations Fund		204,000

FAF Advisors, Inc. (“FAF Advisors”), formerly known as U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc., serves as the securities lending agent for the funds in transactions involving the lending of portfolio securities on behalf of the fund. FAF Advisors acts as the securities lending agent pursuant to, and subject to compliance with conditions contained in, an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Effective January 1, 2006, FAF Advisors receives fees equal to 32% of the funds’ income from securities lending transactions. Prior to January 1, 2006, such fees were 35% of the funds’ income from securities lending transactions. Fees paid to FAF Advisors from Government Obligations Fund and Treasury Obligations Fund for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006 were $54 and $30, respectively.

Income from securities lending is recorded on the Statement of Operations as securities lending income net of fees paid to FAF Advisors.

EXPENSES – Expenses that are directly related to one of the funds are charged directly to that fund. Other operating expenses are allocated to the funds on several bases, including relative net assets of all funds within the First American Family of Funds. Class specific expenses, such as distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees are borne by that class. Income, other expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses of a fund are allocated to each respective class in proportion to the relative net assets of each class.

INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM – Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the funds, along with other registered investment companies in the First American Family of Funds, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. The funds did not have any interfund lending transactions during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN – Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), non-interested directors of the First American Fund family may participate and elect to defer receipt of part or all of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of selected open-end First American Funds as designated by the board of directors. All amounts in the Plan are 100% vested and accounts under the Plan are obligations of the funds. Deferred amounts remain in the funds until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3 > Fees and Expenses

INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES – Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”), FAF Advisors manages each fund’s assets and furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research and personnel. The Agreement requires each fund to pay FAF Advisors a monthly fee based upon average daily net assets. The annual fee for each fund is 0.10%. FAF Advisors has agreed to waive fees and reimburse other fund expenses until June 30, 2007, so that total fund operating expenses, as a percentage of average daily net assets, do not exceed the following amounts:

ADMINISTRATION FEES – FAF Advisors serves as the funds’ administrator pursuant to an administration agreement between FAF Advisors and the funds. U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“USBFS”) serves as sub-administrator pursuant to a sub-administration agreement between USBFS and FAF Advisors. FAF Advisors is a subsidiary of U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”). Both U.S. Bank and USBFS are direct subsidiaries of U.S. Bancorp. Under the administration agreement, FAF Advisors provides, or engages other entities to provide, services to the funds. These services include various legal, oversight and administrative services and accounting services. The funds pay FAF Advisors administration fees which are calculated daily and paid monthly. Prior to July 1, 2006, such fees were equal to each fund’s pro rata share of an amount equal, on an annual basis, to 0.10% of the aggregate average daily net assets of all open-end mutual funds in the First American Family of Funds, up to $8 billion, 0.085% on the next $17 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets, 0.07% on the next $25 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets, and 0.05% of the aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $50 billion.

Effective July 1, 2006, the administration fee was increased to each fund’s pro rata share of an amount equal, on an annual basis, to 0.20% of the aggregate average daily Class A share net assets and 0.15% of the aggregate average daily net assets for all other share classes of all open-end mutual funds in the First American Family of Funds, up to $8 billion, 0.185% for Class A shares and 0.135% for all other classes on the next $17 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets, 0.17% for Class A shares and 0.12% for all other classes on the next $25 billion of aggregate average daily net assets, and 0.15% for Class A shares and 0.10% for all other classes of the aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $50 billion.

This increase was the result of incorporating into the administration fee the fee discussed below that had previously been paid as part of the transfer agency fee for providing certain shareholder services and as reimbursement for payments to financial institutions. All fees paid to the sub-administrator are paid from the administration fee. In addition to these fees, the funds may reimburse FAF Advisors and the sub-administrator for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing administration services.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006, administration fees paid to FAF Advisors by the funds included in this annual report were as follows:

Fund	Amount
Government Obligations Fund	$	4,157
Prime Obligations Fund		14,230
Tax Free Obligations Fund		1,712
Treasury Obligations Fund		10,139
U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund		464

During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006, administration fees of $287 were waived on Class Z of Prime Obligations Fund.

TRANSFER AGENT FEES – USBFS serves as the funds’ transfer agent pursuant to a transfer agent agreement with FAF. For the period from July 1, 2005 to July 1, 2006, FAF paid transfer agent fees of $18,500 per share class and additional per account fees for transfer agent services. These fees were allocated to each fund based upon the fund’s pro rata share of the aggregate average daily net assets of the funds that comprise FAF. Under the transfer agent agreement, FAF also paid USBFS a fee equal, on an annual basis, to 0.10% of each fund’s average daily net assets for Class A shares and 0.05% for all other share classes. This fee was intended to compensate USBFS for providing certain shareholder services and to reimburse USBFS for its payments to financial institutions that establish and maintain omnibus accounts and provide customary services for such accounts. In addition to these fees, the funds reimbursed USBFS for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing transfer agent services.

Effective July 1, 2006, the funds are charged transfer agent fees on a per shareholder account basis, subject to a minimum per share class fee. These fees are charged to

First American Funds Annual Report 2006       43

Notes to  Financial Statements August 31, 2006

each fund based on the number of accounts within that fund. The $18,500 per share class fee was eliminated. As noted above, effective July 1, 2006, the 0.10% fee for Class A shares and 0.05% fee for all other share classes for shareholder services and payments to financial services was incorporated into the administration fee. Funds continue to reimburse USBFS for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing transfer agent services.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006, transfer agent fees paid to USBFS by the funds included in this annual report were as follows:

Fund	Amount
Government Obligations Fund	$	2,149
Prime Obligations Fund		6,956

Each fund, except U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, currently pays to Piper Jaffray an annual fee equal to 0.15% of a fund’s average daily net assets attributable to its Piper Jaffray Class shares for certain recordkeeping services. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006, recordkeeping fees of $109, $109, and $18 were waived on the Piper Jaffray Class shares of Government Obligations Fund, Tax Free Obligations Fund and Treasury Obligations Fund, respectively.

CUSTODIAN FEES – U.S. Bank serves as the funds’ custodian pursuant to a custodian agreement with FAF. The custodian fee charged for each fund is equal to an annual rate of 0.005% of average daily net assets. All fees are computed daily and paid monthly.

Under the custodian agreement, interest earned on uninvested cash balances is used to reduce a portion of each fund’s custodian expenses. These credits, if any, are disclosed as “Indirect payments from the custodian” in the Statement of Operations. Conversely, the custodian charges a fee for any cash overdrafts incurred which will increase the fund’s custodian expenses.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006, custodian fees were increased as a result of overdrafts and decreased as a result of interest earned as follows:

Fund	Increased			Decreased
Government Obligations Fund	$	—	*	$	1
Prime Obligations Fund		—			25
Tax Free Obligations Fund		4			4
Treasury Obligations Fund		—	*		2
U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund		2			—	*

*Rounds to zero.

OTHER EXPENSES – In addition to the investment advisory fees, administration fees, transfer agent fees, custodian fees, and distribution and shareholder servicing fees, each fund is responsible for paying most other operating expenses, including: legal, auditing, registration fees, postage and printing of shareholder reports, fees and expenses of independent directors, insurance, and other miscellaneous expenses. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006, legal fees and expenses of $115 were paid to a law firm of which an Assistant Secretary of the funds is a partner.

DISTRIBUTION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING (12b-1) FEES – Quasar Distributors, LLC (“Quasar”), a subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp, serves as distributor of the funds pursuant to a distribution agreement with FAF. Under the distribution agreement, and pursuant to a plan adopted by each fund under rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act, each fund pays Quasar a monthly distribution and/or shareholder servicing fee equal to an annual rate of 0.25%, 1.00%, 1.00%, 0.15%, 0.25%, and 0.50% of each fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares, Class D shares, Piper Jaffray Class shares and Reserve Class shares, respectively. No distribution or shareholder servicing fees are paid by Institutional Investor Class shares, Class Y shares, Class I shares, or Class Z shares. These fees may be used by Quasar to provide compensation for sales support and distribution activities for each class of the funds. In addition, for Class B shares and Class C shares, a portion of these fees may be used to provide compensation for shareholder servicing activities.

Under these distribution and shareholder servicing agreements, the following amounts were retained by Quasar for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006:

Fund	Amount

SHAREHOLDER SERVICING (NON-12b-1) FEES – FAF has also adopted and entered into a shareholder servicing plan and agreement with FAF Advisors, under which FAF Advisors has agreed to provide FAF, or will enter into written agreements with other service providers pursuant to which the service providers will provide FAF, with non-distribution-related services to shareholders of Class A, Class D, Class I, Class Y shares, Institutional Investor Class, Piper Jaffray Class, and Reserve Class shares. Each fund pays FAF Advisors a monthly shareholder servicing fee equal to an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class D, Class Y, Piper Jaffray Class, and Reserve Class shares, a fee equal to an annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class I shares, and a fee equal to an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets attributable to Institutional Investor Class shares. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006, shareholder servicing fees of $494 and $15 were waived on Class I shares and Institutional Investor Class shares of Prime Obligations Fund, respectively, and $112 was waived on Reserve Class shares of Treasury Obligations Fund, respectively.

Under this shareholder servicing plan and agreement, the following amounts were paid to FAF Advisors for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006:

Fund	Amount
Government Obligations Fund	$	11,230
Prime Obligations Fund		30,387
Tax Free Obligations Fund		3,167
Treasury Obligations Fund		27,053
U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund		1,227

CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGES – A contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) is imposed on redemptions made in the Class B shares. The CDSC varies depending on the number of years from time of payment for the purchase of Class B shares until the redemption of such shares. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares after eight years.

	Contingent Deferred Sales Charge

The CDSC for Class B shares and Class C shares is imposed on the value of the purchased shares, or the value at the time of redemption, whichever is less. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006, total front-end sales charges and CDSCs retained by affiliates of FAF Advisors for distributing shares of Prime Obligations Fund were $8.

Prime Obligations Fund Class B shares converted to Class A shares (reflected as proceeds from sales of Class A shares and payments for redemptions of Class B shares) during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006, the fiscal period ended August 31, 2005, and the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 in the amount of 346,282: 275,153, and 348,038 shares, respectively.

The funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

8 > New Accounting Pronouncement

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund’s (series’, trust’s) tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

9 > Closing of Piper Jaffray Class

Effective September 26, 2006, FAF Advisors discontinued offering Piper Jaffray Class shares. As of such date, all shares of such class had been redeemed or exchanged for Class A shares of the respective fund.

APPROVAL OF THE FUNDS’ INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

The Board of Directors of the funds (the “Board”), which is comprised entirely of independent directors, oversees the management of each fund and, as required by law, determines annually whether to renew the funds’ advisory agreement with FAF Advisors, Inc. (“FAF Advisors”). At a meeting on May 1-3, 2006, the Board considered information relating to the funds’ investment advisory agreement with FAF Advisors (the “Agreement”). In advance of the meeting, the Board received materials relating to the Agreement, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with their consideration. At a subsequent meeting on June 19-21, 2006, the Board concluded its consideration of and approved the Agreement through June 30, 2007.

Although the Agreement, which is with First American Funds, Inc., relates to all of the funds, the Board separately considered and approved the Agreement with respect to each fund. In considering the Agreement, the Board, advised by independent legal counsel, reviewed and considered the factors it deemed relevant, including: (1) the nature, quality and extent of FAF Advisors’ services to the fund, (2) the investment performance of the fund, (3) the profitability of FAF Advisors related to the fund, including an analysis of FAF Advisors’ cost of providing services and comparative expense information, (4) whether economies of scale may be realized as the fund grows and whether fee levels are adjusted to enable fund investors to share in these potential economies of scale, and (5) other benefits that accrue to FAF Advisors through its relationship with the funds. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any single factor which alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve the Agreement.

Before approving the Agreement, the Board met in executive session with its independent counsel on numerous occasions to consider the materials provided by FAF Advisors and the terms of the Agreement. Based on its evaluation of those materials, the Board concluded that the Agreement is fair and in the best interests of the shareholders of each fund. In reaching its conclusions, the Board considered the following:

Nature, Quality and Extent of Investment Advisory Services

The Board examined the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by FAF Advisors to each fund. The Board reviewed FAF Advisors’ key personnel who provide investment management services to each fund as well as the fact that, under the Agreement, FAF Advisors has the authority and responsibility to make and execute investment decisions for each fund within the framework of that fund’s investment policies and restrictions, subject to review by the Board. The Board further considered that FAF Advisors’ duties with respect to each fund include (i) investment research and security selection, (ii) adherence to (and monitoring compliance with) the fund’s investment policies and restrictions and the Investment Company Act of 1940, and (iii) monitoring the performance of the various organizations providing services to the fund, including the fund’s distributor, sub-administrator, transfer agent and custodian. Finally, the Board considered FAF Advisors’ representation that the services provided by FAF Advisors under the Agreement are the type of services customarily provided by investment advisors in the fund industry.

The Board also considered compliance reports about FAF Advisors from the funds’ Chief Compliance Officer.

Based on the foregoing, the Board concluded that each fund is likely to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by FAF Advisors under the Agreement.

Investment Performance of the Funds

The Board considered the performance of each fund, including how the fund performed versus the median performance of a group of comparable funds selected by an independent data service (the “performance universe”). The performance periods considered by the Board ended on January 31, 2006. Also, given that different share classes have different expense structures and that each share class has been in existence for a different period of time, the Board considered separately (i) one- and three-year performance information for Class A shares, (ii) one-, three-, five- and ten-year performance information for Class Y shares and (iii) one-year performance information for Class Z shares. With respect to U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, which has only been in existence for a short time, the Board considered the performance of each share class during that time period.

Government Obligations Fund. The Board considered that the performance of the fund’s various classes of shares outperformed or performed competitively against the performance universe during each of the performance periods considered by the Board. The Board concluded that it would be in the interest of the fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Prime Obligations Fund. The Board considered that Class A and Z shares outperformed the performance universe for each of their respective performance periods, while Class Y shares slightly underperformed. The Board concluded that, in light of

48      First American Funds Annual Report 2006

the fund’s competitive performance against the performance universe, it would be in the interest of the fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Tax Free Obligations Fund. The Board considered that, for each of their respective performance periods, the fund’s Class A and Class Y shares underperformed the performance universe. The Board also noted, however, that the fund’s Class Z shares significantly outperformed the performance universe for the one-year period. The Board considered FAF Advisors’ assertion that part of the underperformance of Class A and Class Y is attributable to the high quality of the fund’s portfolio securities. The Board considered that the fund’s AAA Standard & Poor’s rating prohibits the fund from buying unrated securities, which limits the universe of potential investments. Other funds in the performance universe do not have this restriction and, thus, have more investment options that can yield higher returns.

In addition, the Board noted FAF Advisors’ assertion that the Class A and Class Y underperformance also could be attributable to the entirely tax-free nature of the fund’s income. The Board considered that, although the fund is allowed to invest up to 20% of its assets in taxable securities, including securities subject to the alternative minimum tax, the fund does not invest in any such securities. The Board noted that certain funds in the performance universe are not subject to this restriction and may invest without limit in securities subject to the alternative minimum tax. In light of this, the Board also compared the fund’s performance to that of a peer universe that excluded funds investing in securities subject to the alternative minimum tax, noting that the fund’s performance compared much more favorably against this alternate group of funds.

In light of the fund’s performance after taking into account the AAA rating of the fund and the entirely tax-free nature of its investments, and after comparing the fund to similar funds that do not invest in securities subject to the alternative minimum tax, the Board concluded that it would be in the interest of the fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Treasury Obligations Fund. The Board considered that each of the fund’s classes of shares outperformed or performed competitively against the performance universe median during each performance period reviewed by the Board. The Board concluded that, in light of the fund’s competitive performance, it would be in the interest of the fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund. The Board considered that the Class Z shares outperformed the fund’s performance universe for the one-year period (the only full period during which the fund has been in existence). The Board also considered that the fund’s Class A and Class Y shares underperformed the performance universe for that same period. With respect to this, however, the Board considered FAF Advisors’ assertion that the fund’s performance universe includes funds that, unlike the U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, invest in repurchase agreements and that the universe is, therefore, not as meaningful a source of comparative data. According to FAF Advisors, the positive impact of investing in repurchase agreements is demonstrated by the performance of another of the money market funds it advises, which is (i) reviewed against the same performance universe, (ii) is permitted to invest in repurchase agreements and, (iii) has outperformed or performed competitively against the performance universe. The Board concluded that, in light of the Class Z competitive performance, the limited comparative value of the performance universe, and the short operating history of the fund, it would be in the interest of the fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by FAF Advisors

The Board reviewed FAF Advisors’ estimated costs in serving as each fund’s investment manager, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage each fund. The Board also considered the reported profitability of FAF Advisors and its affiliates resulting from their relationship with each fund. For each fund, the Board reviewed fee and expense information as compared to that of other funds and accounts managed by FAF Advisors and of comparable funds managed by other advisers. The Board found that while the advisory fees for FAF Advisors’ institutional separate accounts are lower than the funds’ advisory fees, the funds receive additional services from FAF Advisors that separate accounts do not receive.

Using information provided by an independent data service, the Board also evaluated each fund’s advisory fee compared to the median advisory fee for other funds similar in size, character and investment strategy, and each fund’s expense ratio compared to the median expense ratio of comparable funds (the “peer group median expense ratio”). In connection with its review of fund fees and expenses, the Board asked FAF Advisors to articulate its pricing philosophy. FAF Advisors responded that it attempts generally to maintain each fund’s total operating expenses at a level that approximates its peer group median expense ratio. In addition, FAF Advisors noted that it intends to waive its investment advisory fees to the extent necessary to maintain the funds’ total expense ratios at levels generally in line with their respective peer groups. Consistent with this pricing philosophy, FAF Advisors agreed to maintain the funds’ expense caps at their current levels

First American Funds Annual Report 2006       49

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS  (unaudited) continued

through June 30, 2007. The Board noted that the information provided by an independent data service reflected that for each fund, other than Treasury Obligations Fund, the advisory fee and expense ratio after waivers were below or equal to the peer group medians. With respect to Treasury Obligations Fund, the Board noted that the advisory fee was below the peer group median and that the total expense ratio, after waivers, was higher than the peer group median, but consistent with FAF Advisors’ pricing philosophy. The Board concluded that the funds’ advisory fees and expense ratios are reasonable in light of the services provided.

Economies of Scale in Providing Investment Advisory Services

The Board considered whether each fund’s investment advisory fee reflects the potential for economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders. Based on information provided by FAF Advisors, the Board noted that profitability will likely increase somewhat as assets grow over time. The Board considered that FAF Advisors has committed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary to keep each fund’s total expenses generally in line with the median total expenses of a peer group of funds as selected by an independent data service. The median total expense ratio of a fund’s peer group will reflect the effect of any breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules of the funds in that group. Therefore, by capping a fund’s total expense ratio at a level close to the median, fund shareholders should receive the benefit of any breakpoints in the comparable funds’ advisory fee schedules. In light of FAF Advisors’ commitment to keep total fund expenses competitive, the Board concluded that it would be reasonable and in the best interest of each fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.

Other Benefits to FAF Advisors

In evaluating the benefits that accrue to FAF Advisors through its relationship with the funds, the Board noted that FAF Advisors and certain of its affiliates serve the funds in various capacities, including as adviser, administrator, transfer agent, securities lending agent, and custodian, and receive compensation from each fund in connection with providing services to the fund. The Board considered that each service provided to a fund by FAF Advisors or one of its affiliates is pursuant to a written agreement, which the Board evaluates periodically as required by law.

After full consideration of these and other factors, the Board concluded that approval of the Agreement was in the interest of the each fund and its shareholders.

Item 3—Audit Committee Financial Expert

The registrant’s Board of Directors has determined that Leonard W. Kedrowski, Benjamin R. Field III, and Richard K. Riederer, members of the registrant’s Audit Committee, are each an “audit committee financial expert” and are “independent,” as these terms are defined in this Item.

Item 4—Principal Accountant Fees and Services

(a)	Audit Fees — Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) billed the registrant audit fees totaling $479,491 in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006, $439,310 in the fiscal period ended August 31, 2005, and $586,376 in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, including fees associated with the annual audit, SEC Rule 17f-2 security count filings and filings of the registrant’s Form N-CSR.

(e)(1)	The audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures pursuant to paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X are set forth below:
	Audit Committee policy regarding pre-approval of services provided by the Independent Auditor
	The Audit Committee of the First American Funds (“Committee”) has responsibility for ensuring that all services performed by the independent audit firm for the funds do not impair the firm’s independence. This review is intended to provide reasonable oversight without removing management from its responsibility for day-to-day operations. In this regard, the Committee should:

• Understand the nature of the professional services expected to be provided and their impact on auditor independence and audit quality

• Examine and evaluate the safeguards put into place by the Company and the auditor to safeguard independence

• Meet quarterly with the partner of the independent audit firm

• Consider approving categories of service that are not deemed to impair independence for a one-year period

It is important that a qualitative rather than a mere quantitative evaluation be performed by the Committee in discharging its responsibilities.

Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services Provided to the Funds

On an annual basis, the Committee will review and consider whether to pre-approve the financial plan for audit fees as well as categories of audit-related and non-audit services that may be performed by the funds’ independent audit firm directly for the funds. At least annually the Committee will receive a report from the independent audit firm of all audit and non-audit services, which were approved during the year.

The engagement of the independent audit firm for any non-audit service requires the written pre-approval of the Treasurer of the funds and all non-audit services performed by the independent audit firm will be disclosed in the required SEC periodic filings.

In connection with the Committee review and pre-approval responsibilities, the review by the Committee will consist of the following:

Audit Services

The categories of audit services and related fees to be reviewed and considered for pre-approval annually by the Committee or its delegate include the following:

• Annual Fund financial statement audits

• Seed audits (related to new product filings, as required)

• SEC and regulatory filings and consents

Audit-related Services

In addition, the following categories of audit-related services are deemed to be consistent with the role of the independent audit firm and, as such, will be considered for pre-approval by the Committee or its delegate, on an annual basis.

• Accounting consultations

• Fund merger support services

• Other accounting related matters

• Agreed Upon Procedure Reports

• Attestation Reports

• Other Internal Control Reports

Notwithstanding any annual pre-approval of these categories of services, individual projects with an estimated fee in excess of $25,000 are subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair or its delegate on a case-by-case basis. Individual projects with an estimated fee in excess of $50,000 are subject to pre-approval by the Committee or its delegate on a case-by-case basis.

Tax Services

The following categories of tax services are deemed to be consistent with the role of the independent audit firm and, as such, will be considered for pre-approval by the Committee or its delegate, on an annual basis.

• Tax compliance services related to the filing or amendment of the following:

• Federal, state and local income tax compliance, and

• Sales and use tax compliance

• Timely RIC qualification reviews

• Tax distribution analysis and planning

• Tax authority examination services

• Tax appeals support services

• Accounting methods studies

• Fund merger support services

• Tax consulting services and related projects

Notwithstanding any annual pre-approval of these categories of services, individual projects with an estimated fee in excess of $25,000 are subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair or its delegate on a case-by-case basis. Individual projects with an estimated fee in excess of $50,000 are subject to pre-approval by the Committee or its delegate on a case-by-case basis.

Other Non-audit Services

The SEC auditor independence rules adopted in response to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act specifically allow certain non-audit services. Because of the nature of these services, none of these services may be commenced by the independent audit firm without the prior approval of the Committee. The Committee may delegate this responsibility to one or more of the Committee members, with the decisions presented to the full Committee at the next scheduled meeting.

Proscribed Services

In accordance with SEC rules on independence, the independent audit firm is prohibited from performing services in the following categories of non-audit services:

• Management functions

• Accounting and bookkeeping services

• Internal audit services

• Financial information systems design and implementation

• Valuation services supporting the financial statements

• Actuarial services supporting the financial statements

• Executive recruitment

• Expert services (e.g., litigation support)

• Investment banking

Policy for Pre-approval of Non-Audit Services Provided to Other Entities within the Investment Company Complex

The Committee is also responsible for pre-approving certain non-audit services provided to FAF Advisors, Inc., U.S. Bank N.A., Quasar Distributors, U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC and any other entity under common control with FAF Advisors, Inc., that provides ongoing services to the funds. The only non-audit services provided to these entities which require pre-approval are those services that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the funds.

Although the Committee is not required to pre-approve all services provided to FAF Advisors, Inc. and other affiliated service providers, the Committee will annually receive a report from the independent audit firm on the aggregate fees for all services provided to U.S. Bancorp and affiliates.

(e)(2)	All of the services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item 4 were pre-approved by the audit committee.
(f)	All services performed on the engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year end were performed by the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.
(g)	The aggregate non-audit fees billed by E&Y to the registrant, the registrant’s investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant, totaled $85,651 in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006, $127,359 in the fiscal period ended August 31, 2005, and $131,955 in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004.
(h)	The registrant’s audit committee has determined that the provision of non-audit services to the registrant’s 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 is compatible with maintaining E&Y’s independence.
