An investment in money market funds is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although these funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these funds.

Message to SHAREHOLDERS October 30, 2007

Dear Shareholders:

You’re no doubt aware that the third quarter of 2007 has been a period of great turbulence for the financial markets, with the impact being felt across a broad range of sectors and asset classes, including the asset-backed commercial paper market. When you review the attached 2007 Annual Report for Money Market Funds, you will see that certain asset backed commercial paper and asset-backed medium term notes (collectively, “ABCP Notes”) held by the Prime Obligations Fund have been affected by this market turbulence. The other First American Money Market Funds invest only in government or tax-exempt securities, and have not been impacted by the market turmoil affecting ABCP Notes.

In the Prime Obligations Fund, we have responded to the recent market turbulence by increasing our position in highly liquid, very short-term securities and by reexamining and reducing our list of approved issuers of ABCP Notes. We are confident that the fund is appropriately positioned to weather continued volatility in the short-term debt market.

ABCP Notes are collateralized by assets such as mortgages, credit card receivables and auto loans, or by other securities that in turn are backed by these assets. The cash flows generated by the underlying obligations are used to pay principal and interest on the ABCP Notes. Repayment of maturing notes typically comes from the proceeds of newly issued ABCP Notes. As problems in the sub-prime mortgage market have emerged, however, investors have become hesitant to purchase newly issued ABCP Notes, even when they have little or no exposure to sub-prime mortgages. This phenomenon has required some issuers of ABCP Notes to liquidate collateral in an unfavorable market in order to pay off maturing notes and/or to seek restructuring solutions with their senior creditors. Where necessary, FAF Advisors has worked closely with other senior creditors to formulate solutions designed to preserve the value of the fund’s securities and avoid poorly timed liquidations of collateral.

Though it has been a challenging period, it is important to remember that the Prime Obligations Fund continues to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, and that FAF Advisors’ parent company, U.S. Bancorp, is committed to maintaining the credit ratings of the Prime Obligations Fund and ensuring the preservation of capital in the fund should either be impaired by holding ABCP Notes.

Sincerely,

Virginia L. Stringer Chairperson of the Board First American Funds, Inc.	Thomas S. Schreier, Jr. CEO, FAF Advisors, Inc. President, First American Funds, Inc.

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of one or more of the funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2007 to August 31, 2007.

Actual Expenses

For each class of each fund, two lines are presented in the table below – the first line for each class provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular fund and class, 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 in the fund and class 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” for your fund and class to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each class of each fund, the second line for each class provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the respective 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 these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the tables for each class of each fund 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, 2007, 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 designating 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 confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and 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, 2007, 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, 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, Piper Jaffray Class shares 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.

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 at least once per week using prices supplied by the funds’ independent 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 service. If the advisor concludes that the price obtained from the pricing service is not reliable, or if the pricing service does not provide a price for a security, the advisor will use the fair value of the security for purposes of this comparison, which will be determined pursuant to procedures approved by the board of directors. If the difference between the aggregate market price and aggregate amortized cost of all securities held by a fund exceeds 0.25%, the funds’ administrator will notify the funds’ board of directors and will monitor the deviation on a daily basis. If the difference exceeds 0.5%, a meeting of the board of directors will be convened, and the board will determine what action, if any, to take. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007, the differences between the aggregate market price and the aggregate amortized cost of all securities did not exceed 0.25% for any fund.

ILLIQUID OR RESTRICTED SECURITIES – A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market. Securities are generally considered liquid if they can be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the price at which the security is valued by the fund. Illiquid securities may be valued under methods approved by the funds’ board of directors as reflecting fair value. Each fund intends to invest no more than 10% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. Certain restricted securities may be considered illiquid. Restricted securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, may have contractual restrictions on resale, and may be valued under methods approved by the funds’ board of directors as reflecting fair value. Certain restricted securities eligible for resale to qualified institutional investors, including Rule 144A securities, are not subject to the limitation on a fund’s investment in illiquid securities if they are determined to be liquid in accordance with procedures adopted by the funds’ board of directors. Due to changes in market conditions during the fiscal year, a number of Prime Obligation Fund’s holdings that had previously been determined to be liquid were deemed to be illiquid. For so long as Prime Obligations Fund holds illiquid securities representing 10% or more of its total assets, the fund may not purchase additional illiquid securities. In addition, the fund will attempt to reduce its holdings of illiquid

34      First American Funds Annual Report 2007

securities in an orderly fashion. Nevertheless, the Board of Directors has determined that disposal of certain securities held by Prime Obligations Fund would not be in the best interest of the fund at this time, taking into account, among other things, market conditions that could affect the orderly disposition of such securities. Securities with respect to which this determination has been made are securities issued by Cheyne Finance LLC, KKR Atlantic Funding, KKR Pacific Funding, and Ottimo Funding. See note 8 for additional information regarding these investments.

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.

On the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, the following reclassifications were made:

			Undistributed
	Accumulated Net		Net Investment
	Realized Loss		Income
Tax Free Obligations Fund	$	(1)	$	1

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 fiscal years ended August 31, 2007 and August 31, 2006 (adjusted by dividends payable as of August 31, 2007 and August 31, 2006) were as follows:

	August 31, 2007
	Ordinary		Tax-Exempt		Capital

Government Obligations Fund	$	283,469	$	—	$	—	$	283,469

Treasury Obligations Fund		434,691		—		—		434,691
U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund		18,670		—		—		18,670

As of August 31, 2007, the 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
Fund	Income		Income		Capital Gains		Losses			(Depreciation)			Earnings
Government Obligations Fund	$	25,987	$	—	$	—	$	(38	)	$	—		$	25,949

U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund		2,883		—		—		(1	)		—			2,882

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, 2007 and the deferral of wash sale losses.

* Less than $1

Government Obligations Fund and Prime Obligations Fund incurred losses of $4 and $2, respectively, for tax purposes, for the period from November 1, 2006 to August 31, 2007. 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, 2008.

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 such 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 are designed to 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, 2007, Government Obligations Fund and Treasury Obligations Fund had no loaned securities, and therefore had no cash collateral invested.

U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”), the parent company of the funds’ advisor, serves as the securities lending agent for the funds in transactions involving the lending of portfolio securities on behalf of the fund. U.S. Bank 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, U.S. Bank receives fees as a percentage of each fund’s income from securities lending transactions. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007, Government Obligations Fund and Treasury Obligations Fund paid $119 and $12, respectively, to U.S. Bank, 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 U.S. Bank.

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, 2007.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN – Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), non-interested directors of

36      First American Funds Annual Report 2007

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.

3 > Fees and Expenses

INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES – Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”), FAF Advisors, Inc. (“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 October 31, 2008, so that total fund operating expenses, as a percentage of average daily net assets, do not exceed the following amounts:

	Share Class
																						Institutional
Fund	A			B			C			D			I			Y			Z			Investor			Reserve
Government Obligations Fund		0.75	%		—	%		—	%		0.60	%		—	%		0.45	%		0.20	%		0.30	%		—	%

U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund		0.75			—			—			0.60			—			0.45			0.20			0.30			—

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. Both U.S. Bank and USBFS are direct subsidiaries of U.S. Bancorp. 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. The funds pay FAF Advisors administration fees, which are calculated daily and paid monthly, equal 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. 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. In addition to these fees, the funds may reimburse USBFS for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing transfer agent services.

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 increases the fund’s custodian expenses.

First American Funds Annual Report 2007       37

Notes to  Financial Statements  continued

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007, custodian fees were increased as a result of overdrafts and decreased as a result of interest earned as follows:

Tax Free Obligations Fund		21		12
Treasury Obligations Fund		2		1
U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund		1		—

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%, 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, 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, distribution activities, and/or shareholder servicing activities.

Under these distribution and shareholder servicing agreements, the following amounts were retained by affiliates of FAF Advisors for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007:

Fund	Amount
Government Obligations Fund	$	2,887
Prime Obligations Fund		5,896
Tax Free Obligations Fund		567
Treasury Obligations Fund		19,644
U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund		382

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, 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, 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, 2007, shareholder servicing fees of $535 and $218 were waived on Class I shares and Institutional Investor Class shares, respectively, of Prime Obligations Fund, and $115 was waived on Reserve Class shares of Treasury Obligations Fund.

Fund	Amount
Government Obligations Fund	$	13,019
Prime Obligations Fund		26,586
Tax Free Obligations Fund		3,346
Treasury Obligations Fund		39,642
U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund		1,769

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, 2007, legal fees and expenses of $64 were paid to a law firm of which an Assistant Secretary of the funds is a partner.

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

A CDSC of 1.00% is imposed on redemptions made in Class C shares for the first twelve months.

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, 2007, total front-end sales charges and CDSCs retained by affiliates of FAF Advisors for distributing shares of Prime Obligations Fund were $24.

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.

7 > 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 29, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48, and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

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 August 31, 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.

8 > Subsequent Events

On October 26, 2007, an affiliate of the funds’ advisor purchased all Ottimo Funding Trust secured liquidity notes held by Prime Obligations Fund. These notes were purchased for cash at a price equal to the notes’ amortized cost plus accrued interest, in accordance with Rule 17a-9 under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

In addition, as of October 26, 2007, securities held by the Prime Obligations Fund and issued by Cheyne Finance LLC (“Cheyne”) are in the process of being restructured. A receiver has been appointed and has declared an “insolvency event” with respect to the program. This has caused an acceleration of all senior notes, including the notes held by the fund, which has the effect of preserving all cash for the benefit of all senior noteholders. The receiver is in the process of negotiating a restructuring plan designed to maximize the value of these securities but there is no assurance such a plan will be effected.

On October 15, 2007, securities issued by KKR Atlantic Funding Trust (“KKR Atlantic”) and KKR Pacific Funding Trust (“KKR Pacific”) were restructured. As of that date, the Prime Obligations Fund owned $85,823,153 principal amount of amended notes issued by KKR Atlantic and $93,856,605 principal amount of amended notes issued by KKR Pacific. The amended notes issued by each trust mature on March 13, 2008, with 50% of the principal amount subject to mandatory prepayment on February 15, 2008. The notes bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 35 basis points, reset monthly, and are subject to mandatory prepayment from available cash flows from the liquidation of collateral.

As described above in note 2, in order to determine the continuing appropriateness of valuing Prime Obligations Fund’s portfolio at amortized cost, the market values of the securities held by the fund are compared at least once per week to the securities’ amortized cost. For purposes of this comparison, the market values used for the securities issued by KKR Atlantic, KKR Pacific and Cheyne are their fair values determined pursuant to procedures approved by the board of directors. Because the difference between Prime Obligation Fund’s net asset value per share calculated using market values and its amortized cost per share continues to be less than 0.25%, management continues to value Prime Obligations Fund at amortized cost.

APPROVAL OF 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, 2007, 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, 2007, the Board concluded its consideration of and approved the Agreement through June 30, 2008.

Although the Agreement, which is with First American Funds, Inc., relates to all of the funds, the Board of Directors separately considered and approved the Agreement with respect to each fund. In considering the Agreement, the Board reviewed and analyzed 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 are realized as the fund grows and whether fee levels share these economies of scale with fund investors, 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 with respect to any fund.

Before approving the Agreement, the independent directors met in executive session with their 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 conclusion, 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 Advisor’s 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 comparative information provided by an independent data service regarding the median performance of a group of comparable funds selected by that data service (the “performance universe”). The performance periods reviewed by the Board all ended on January 31, 2007.

For each fund, the Board considered that different share classes have different expense structures and that each share class has been in existence for a different period of time (other than with respect to the U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, whose share classes have been in existence for the same time-period). As a result, the Board considered separately (i) one-, three-and five-year performance information for Class A shares, (ii) one- and three-year performance information for Class Z shares and (iii) one-, three-, five- and ten-year performance information for Class Y shares. The Board considered only one-year performance information for all share classes of U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, which has not been in existence for the longer time periods.

Government Obligations Fund. The Board considered that the fund’s Class A shares outperformed or equaled the performance universe median and also noted that the fund’s Class Z shares significantly outperformed the performance universe median. The fund’s Class Y shares underperformed the performance universe median for the one and three-year

42      First American Funds Annual Report 2007

periods. The Board concluded that, in light of the fund’s competitive performance, it would be in the interest of the fund and its shareholders for the Board to renew the Agreement.

Prime Obligations Fund. The Board considered that, for all periods, the fund’s Class A shares outperformed the performance universe median and that, for all periods, the fund’s Class Z shares significantly outperformed the performance universe median. The Board also considered that for all performance periods, the fund’s Class Y shares were below (but within ten basis points of) the median of the performance universe. The Board concluded that, in light of the fund’s competitive performance, it would be in the interest of the fund and its shareholders for the Board to renew the Agreement.

Tax Free Obligations Fund. The Board considered that the fund’s Class Z shares significantly outperformed the median of the performance universe and that the fund’s Class A and Class Y shares underperformed the median. The Board considered FAF Advisors’ assertion that this underperformance is attributable to the high quality of the fund’s portfolio securities as compared to its peers and the entirely tax-free nature of the fund’s income. The Board also compared the fund’s performance to that of an iMoneyNet peer universe that excludes funds investing in securities subject to the alternative minimum tax (since the fund does not invest in those securities). The Board noted that the fund’s Class Y share performance (gross of expenses) was equal to the median for the one- and three-year periods, and was only one basis point below the median for the five-year period. In light of these and other considerations, the Board concluded that it would be in the interest of the fund and its shareholders for the Board to renew the Agreement.

Treasury Obligations Fund. The Board considered that the fund’s Class A shares outperformed the performance universe median and that the fund’s Class Z shares significantly outperformed the median. Further, the Board considered that the fund’s Class Y shares outperformed the median for the one- and three-year periods, although they slightly underperformed the median for the five- and ten-year periods. The Board concluded that, in light of the fund’s competitive performance, it would be in the interest of the fund and its shareholders for the Board to renew the Agreement.

U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund. The Board considered that, while the fund’s Class A and Class Y shares underperformed the median of the fund’s performance universe, the fund’s Class Z shares significantly outperformed the performance universe median. The Board noted that the fund invests exclusively in U.S. Treasury obligations and may not invest in repurchase agreements. The Board considered FAF Advisors’ representation that the fund’s performance universe includes funds that invest principally, but not exclusively, in U. S. Treasury obligations and therefore, the universe includes funds that invest in repurchase agreements. The Board further considered the positive impact that investments in repurchase agreements had on funds in the performance universe. The Board concluded that, in light of the fund’s exclusive investment in U.S. Treasuries and in light of its short history of operations (the fund did not have three-year performance for the Board to consider), it would be in the interest of the fund and its shareholders for the Board to renew the Agreement.

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by FAF Advisors

The Board examined FAF Advisors’ costs in serving as the funds’ investment manager, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage each fund. The Board also considered the profitability of FAF Advisors and its affiliates resulting from their relationship with each fund. For each fund, the Board examined 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 management fees for FAF Advisors’ institutional separate accounts are lower than the funds’ management 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 mutual funds similar in size, character and investment strategy, and each fund’s total expense ratio after waivers compared to the median total expense ratio of comparable funds. In connection with its review of fund fees and expenses, the Board considered FAF Advisors’ pricing philosophy. FAF Advisors attempts generally to maintain each fund’s total operating expenses at a level that approximates the median of a peer group of funds selected by an independent data service. In addition, FAF Advisors has committed 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.

The Board noted that the information provided by an independent data service reflected that each fund’s advisory fee is below its peer group median advisory fee. The Board also noted that, consistent with FAF Advisors’ pricing philosophy, each fund’s total expense ratio was competitive with its peer group median total expense ratio. The Board concluded FAF Advisors’ pricing philosophy is a reasonable one and that the funds’ advisory fees and total expense ratios are reasonable in light of the services provided.

Economies of Scale in Providing Investment Advisory Services

The Board considered the extent to which each fund’s investment advisory fee reflects 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, although the funds do not have advisory fee breakpoints in place, 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 Board considered FAF Advisors’ assertion that the median total expense ratio of a fund’s peer group should reflect the effect of any breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules of the funds in that group and any economies of scale which those funds realize. Therefore, by capping a fund’s total expense ratio at a level close to the median, fund shareholders will effectively receive the benefit of any breakpoints in the comparable funds’ advisory fee schedules and any such economies of scale. 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 advisor, administrator, sub-administrator, transfer agent, distributor, custodian and securities lending agent, and receive compensation from the funds in connection with providing services to the funds. The Board considered that each service provided to the funds 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 factors, the Board concluded that approval of the Agreement was in the best interest of 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, John P. Kayser, 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 $113,828 in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007 and $473,491 in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006, including fees associated with the annual audit, SEC Rule 17f-2 security count filings and filings of the registrant’s Form N-CSR.
(b)	Audit-Related Fees — E&Y billed the registrant audit-related fees totaling $437 in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007 and $1,170 in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006, including fees associated with the semi-annual review of fund disclosures.
(c)	Tax Fees — E&Y billed the registrant fees of $17,179 in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007 and $67,981 in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006, for tax services, including tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. Tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning services primarily related to preparation of original and amended tax returns, timely RIC qualification reviews, and tax distribution analysis and planning.
(d)	All Other Fees — There were no fees billed by E&Y for other services to the registrant during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006, the fiscal period ended August 31, 2005, and the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004.
(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 $55,565 in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007 and $85,651 in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006.

(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.
