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 September 1, 2006, to February 28, 2007.
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.

Government Obligations fund continued
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 September 1, 2006, to February 28, 2007.
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 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.

> 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, 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. Effective September 26, 2006, the funds discontinued offering Piper Jaffray Class shares. As of such date, all shares of Piper Jaffray Class were redeemed or exchanged for Class A shares of the respective fund. 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, 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. 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’s servicing or distribution arrangements.
> 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 six-month period ended February 28, 2007.
 
  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 in which the differences arise.

  The tax 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 in which the amounts are distributed may differ from the period that the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by the fund. The distributions paid during the six-month period ended February 28, 2007 and year ended August 31, 2006 (adjusted by dividends payable as of February 28, 2007 and August 31, 2006) were as follows:

U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund

  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.
 
  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS – Each fund (other than U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund) may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties whom the funds’ investment advisor deems creditworthy, 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, at a rate that is 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-

Notes to  Financial Statements  continued
  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 February 28, 2007, Government Obligations Fund had cash collateral of $672,723 invested in repurchase agreements and Treasury Obligations Fund had no loaned securities, and therefore had no cash collateral invested.
 
  FAF Advisors, Inc. (“FAF Advisors”) 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”). As the securities lending agent, FAF Advisors receives fees as a percentage of each funds’ income from securities lending transactions. For the six-month period ended February 28, 2007, Government Obligations Fund and Treasury Obligations Fund paid $66 and $12, respectively, to FAF Advisors, for serving as the securities lending agent.
 
  Each fund’s 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 six-month period ended February 28, 2007.
 
  DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN – Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), non-interested directors of the First American Family of Funds 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 open-end First American Funds, preselected by each director. 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.
> 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 equal, on an annual basis, to 0.10% of the fund’s average daily net assets. 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:

Under the administration agreement, FAF Advisors is compensated to provide, or compensates other entities to provide, services to the funds. These services include various legal, oversight, administrative, and accounting services.

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.

  TRANSFER AGENT FEES – USBFS serves as the funds’ transfer agent pursuant to a transfer agent agreement with FAF. The funds are charged transfer agent fees on a per shareholder account basis, subject to a minimum fee per share class. These fees are charged to each fund based upon the number of accounts within that fund.

At February 28, 2007, the percentage of portfolio investments in longer-term securities by each revenue source, was as follows:

  The implied credit ratings of all portfolio holdings as a percentage of total market value of investments at February 28, 2007, were as follows (unaudited):
             
Standard & Poor’s/   Tax Free    
Moody’s/Fitch   Obligations

  Individual security ratings are based on information from Moody’s Investor Service, Standard & Poor’s, and/or Fitch. In the case of split ratings, the middle rating is used. If ratings are provided by only two rating agencies, the lower rating is used. If only one of those rating agencies provides a rating, that rating is used.
> Indemnifications
  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.
> New Accounting Pronouncements
  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 funds’ 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 a more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax 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. Recent Securities and Exchange Commission guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in fund net asset value calculations as late as the funds’ last net asset value calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the funds will incorporate FIN 48 in their semiannual report on February 28, 2008.
 
  In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of February 28, 2007, the funds do not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements; however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and the effect of certain measurements reported in the Statement of Operations for a fiscal period.
