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 in a fund at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2006 to April 30, 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 in the fund and class 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” 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 this 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.

> Organization
  The Equity Index Fund, Mid Cap Index Fund, and Small Cap Index Fund (each a “fund” and collectively, the “funds”) are mutual funds offered by First American Investment Funds, Inc. (“FAIF”) which is a member of the First American Family of Funds. As of April 30, 2007, FAIF offered 39 funds, including the funds listed above. FAIF is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. FAIF’s articles of incorporation permit the funds’ board of directors to create additional funds in the future. The Equity Index Fund, Mid Cap Index Fund, and Small Cap Index Fund are each diversified open-end management investment companies.
 
  FAIF offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, and Class Y shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge. Class B shares are 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 R shares have no sales charge and are offered only through certain tax-deferred retirement plans. Class Y shares have no sales charge and are offered only to qualifying institutional investors and certain other qualifying accounts.
 
  The funds’ prospectus provides descriptions of each fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies, and principal risks. All classes of shares 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 – Security valuations for the funds’ investments are furnished by an independent pricing service that has been approved by the funds’ board of directors. Investments in equity securities that are traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the Nasdaq national market system) are stated at the last quoted sales price if readily available for such securities on each business day. For securities traded on the Nasdaq national market system, the funds utilize the Nasdaq Official Closing Price which compares the last trade to the bid/ask range of a security. If the last trade falls within the bid/ask range, then that price will be the closing price. If the last trade is outside the bid/ask range, and falls above the ask, the ask will be the closing price. If the last trade is below the bid, the bid will be the closing price. Other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Debt obligations exceeding 60 days to maturity are valued by an independent pricing service. The pricing service may employ methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-dealer supplied valuations, or other formula-driven valuation techniques. These techniques generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings, and general market conditions. Securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service, but where an active market exists, are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the securities or from a widely-used quotation system. When market quotations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by procedures established and approved by the funds’ board of directors. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition; trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies; information from broker-dealers; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold. If events occur that materially affect the value of securities (including non-U.S. securities) between the close of trading in those securities and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the securities will be valued at fair value. As of April 30, 2007, the Equity Index Fund, Mid Cap Index Fund, and Small Cap Index Fund had fair valued securities with a total market value of $0, $0, and $0 or 0.0%, 0.0%, and 0.0%, respectively, of total net assets for the fund. Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their respective net asset values on the valuation date.
 
  SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME – For financial statement purposes, the funds record security transactions on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including amortization of bond premium and discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Security gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes.
 
  DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS – Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly for Mid Cap Index Fund and Small Cap Index Fund and monthly for Equity Index Fund. Distributions are payable in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the fund. Any net realized capital gains on sales of a fund’s securities are distributed to shareholders at least annually.

  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. These differences are primarily due to losses deferred from wash sales, the tax recognition of mark to market gains (losses) on open futures contracts, proceeds from securities litigation, and the sale of real estate investment trust securities (“REITs”). 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 six-month period 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) are recorded by the fund. The distributions paid during the six-month period ended April 30, 2007 (estimated) and the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, were as follows:

  As of October 31, 2006, the funds’ most recently completed fiscal year-end, the components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

Small Cap Index Fund
    765       18,059       39,708       58,532  
 
  The difference between book and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is primarily due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the amount of gain (loss) recognized for tax purposes due to mark-to-market adjustments on open futures contracts.
 
  FUTURES TRANSACTIONS – In order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the market, the funds may enter into S&P and Russell Index futures contracts and other stock index futures contracts. Upon entering into a futures contract, the fund is required to deposit cash or pledge U.S. government securities. The margin required for a futures contract is set by the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments, which are dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security or securities, are made or received by the fund each day (daily variation margin) and are recorded as unrealized gains (losses) until the contract is closed. When the contract is closed, the fund records a realized gain (loss) equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the fund’s basis in the contract.
 
  The funds’ investment in stock index futures contracts is designed to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet redemption requests and to increase the level of fund assets devoted to replicating the composition of the S&P and Russell Indices while reducing transaction costs. Risks of entering into futures contracts, in general, include the possibility that there will not be a perfect price correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist in the secondary market, resulting in an inability to close a futures position prior to its maturity date. Third, the purchase of a futures contract involves the risk that a fund could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the amount reflected in the fund’s statement of assets and liabilities. Unrealized gains (losses) on outstanding positions in futures contracts held at the close of the year will be recognized as capital gains (losses) for federal income tax purposes.
 
  The funds’ outstanding futures contracts as of April 30, 2007, are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.
 
  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
First American Funds Semiannual Report 2007       41

Notes to  Financial Statements  continued
  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 15% 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, and may have contractual restrictions on resale. 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. At April 30, 2007, Equity Index Fund, Mid Cap Index Fund, and Small Cap Index Fund had investments in illiquid securities with a total value of $0, $0, and $0 or 0.0%, 0.0%, and 0.0%, respectively, of total net assets.

  SECURITIES LENDING – In order to generate additional income, each 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. Each fund’s policy is to receive collateral from the borrower 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. If the value of the securities on loan increases, additional collateral is received from the borrower. 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. 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 funds. 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”). FAF Advisors receives fees as a percentage of each fund’s net income from securities lending transactions. Effective January 23, 2007, collateral for securities on loan is invested in a money market fund administered by FAF Advisors and FAF Advisors receives an administration fee equal to 0.02% of such fund’s average daily net assets. Securities lending fees paid to FAF Advisors by the funds for the six-month period ended April 30, 2007, were as follows:
         
Fund   Amount
 
Equity Index Fund
  $ 121  
Mid Cap Index Fund
    46  
Small Cap Index Fund
    53  
 
  Income from securities lending is recorded on the Statement of Operations as securities lending income net of fees paid to FAF Advisors.
 
  SECURITY LITIGATION SETTLEMENTS – Income from settlement proceeds related to portfolio securities is recorded as an adjustment to realized or unrealized gains or losses. For the six-month period ended April 30, 2007, Equity Index Fund, Mid Cap Index Fund, and Small Cap Index Fund recorded $38, $16, and $24, respectively, as an adjustment to realized gains or losses for settlement proceeds related to securities no longer included in the portfolios.
 
  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 evenly across all funds, allocated based on relative net assets of all funds within the First American Family of Funds, or a combination of both methods. 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 SEC, 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 April 30, 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
42      First American Funds Semiannual Report 2007


Table of Contents

  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 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 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 based upon average daily net assets. The annual fee for Equity Index Fund, Mid Cap Index Fund, and Small Cap Index Fund is 0.25%, 0.25%, and 0.40%, respectively. FAF Advisors has agreed to waive fees and reimburse other fund expenses through February 29, 2008, so that total fund operating expenses, as a percentage of average daily net assets, do not exceed the following amounts:
                                             
    Share Class
 
Fund   A   B   C   R   Y    
 
Equity Index Fund
    0.62 %     1.37 %     1.37 %     0.87 %     0.37 %    
Mid Cap Index Fund
    0.75       1.50       1.50       1.00       0.50      
Small Cap Index Fund
    0.83       1.58       1.58       1.08       0.58      
 
  The funds may invest in related money market funds that are series of First American Funds, Inc., subject to certain limitations. In order to avoid the payment of duplicative investment advisory fees to FAF Advisors, which acts as the investment advisor to both the investing funds and the related money market funds, FAF Advisors will reimburse each investing fund an amount equal to that portion of FAF Advisors’ investment advisory fee received from the related money market funds that is attributable to the assets of the investing fund. For financial statement purposes, these reimbursements are recorded as investment income.
 
  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 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 a annual basis, to 0.25% of the aggregate average daily net assets of all open-end mutual funds in the First American Family of Funds up to $8 billion, 0.235% on the next $17 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets, 0.22% on the next $25 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets, and 0.20% 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.
 
  For the six-month period ended April 30, 2007, administration fees paid to FAF Advisors by the funds included in this semiannual report were as follows:
         
Fund   Amount
 
Equity Index Fund

  TRANSFER AGENT FEES – USBFS serves as the funds’ transfer agent pursuant to a transfer agent agreement with FAIF. 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.
 
  For the six-month period ended April 30, 2007, transfer agent fees paid to USBFS by the funds included in this semiannual report were as follows:

  CUSTODIAN FEES – U.S. Bank serves as the funds’ custodian pursuant to a custodian agreement with FAIF. 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 six-month period ended April 30, 2007, custodian fees for Equity Index Fund, Mid Cap Index Fund, and Small Cap Index Fund were increased by $0, $0*, and $0* as a result of overdrafts and decreased by $2, $1, and $1 as a result of interest earned, respectively.
 
  * Rounds to zero.
 
  DISTRIBUTION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEES – Quasar Distributors, LLC (“Quasar”), a subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp, serves as distributor of the funds pursuant to a distribution agreement with FAIF. 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% and 0.50% of each fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares and Class R shares, respectively. Class Y shares pay no distribution or shareholder servicing fees. 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 six-month period ended April 30, 2007:
         
Fund   Amount

  OTHER FEES AND 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 six-month period ended April 30, 2007, legal fees and expenses of $9 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 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.

> 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 that 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 state reporting period. As a result, the funds will incorporate FIN 48 in its semiannual report on April 30, 2008.
 
  In September 2006, FASB issued Statement on 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 disclosures 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 April 30, 2007, the fund does 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.

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 November 1, 2006, to April 30, 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.

  The Real Estate Securities Fund, International Fund, International Select Fund, Small Cap Growth Opportunities Fund, Small Cap Select Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Small-Mid Cap Core Fund, Mid Cap Growth Opportunities Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund, Large Cap Select Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Balanced Fund, and Equity Income Fund (each a “fund” and collectively, the “funds”) are mutual funds offered by First American Investment Funds, Inc. (“FAIF”), which is a member of the First American Family of Funds. As of April 30, 2007, FAIF offered 39 funds, including the funds listed above. FAIF is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. FAIF’s articles of incorporation permit the funds’ board of directors to create additional funds in the future. Each fund other than Real Estate Securities Fund is a diversified open-end management investment company. The Real Estate Securities Fund is a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. Prior to October 3, 2005, Small-Mid Cap Core Fund had different investment strategies, was named Technology Fund, and also was non-diversified. Non-diversified funds may invest a large component of their net assets in securities of relatively few issuers.
 
  FAIF offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, and Class Y shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge. Class B shares are 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 R shares have no sales charge and are offered only through certain tax-deferred retirement plans. Class Y shares have no sales charge and are offered only to qualifying institutional investors and certain other qualifying accounts. Class R shares are not offered by the Small-Mid Cap Core Fund.
 
  The funds’ prospectus provides 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 and expenses, 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.
> Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
  The significant accounting policies followed by the funds are as follows:
 
  SECURITY VALUATIONS – Security valuations for the funds’ investments are furnished by an independent pricing service that has been approved by the funds’ board of directors. Investments in equity securities that are traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the Nasdaq national market system) are stated at the last quoted sales price if readily available for such securities on each business day. For securities traded on the Nasdaq national market system, the funds utilize the Nasdaq Official Closing Price which compares the last trade to the bid/ask range of a security. If the last trade falls within the bid/ask range, then that price will be the closing price. If the last trade is outside the bid/ask range, and falls above the ask, the ask will be the closing price. If the last trade is below the bid, the bid will be the closing price. Other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Debt obligations exceeding 60 days to maturity are valued by an independent pricing service. The pricing service may employ methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-dealer supplied valuations, or other formula-driven valuation techniques. These techniques generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings, and general market conditions. Securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service but where an active market exists are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the securities or from a widely-used quotation system. When market quotations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by procedures established and approved by the funds’ board of directors. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition; trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies; information from broker-dealers; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold. If events occur that materially affect the value of securities (including non-U.S. securities) between the close of trading in those securities and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the securities will be valued at fair value. As of April 30, 2007, Real Estate Securities Fund, Small Cap Growth Opportunities Fund, and Balanced Fund held fair valued securities with a total value of $300, $28, and $118, respectively, or 0.0%, 0.0%, and 0.0% of total net assets, respectively. The fair values of securities held by International Fund and International Select Fund are determined on each business day by an independent third party based on factors such as price changes for futures contracts, sector indices, American Depository Receipts, and currency exchange rates that occur between the close of the local market and the close of the New York Stock Exchange. The use of daily fair value pricing by the International Fund and International Select Fund may cause the net asset value of
92      First American Funds Semiannual Report 2007


Table of Contents

  their shares to differ significantly from the net asset value that would be determined without fair value pricing. Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value. Foreign securities are valued at the closing prices on the principal exchange on which they trade unless they are fair valued as described above. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates. Exchange rates are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their respective net asset values on the valuation date.
 
  SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME – For financial statement purposes, the funds record security transactions on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including amortization of bond premium and discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Security gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost, which is the same basis used for federal income-tax purposes.
 
  DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS – The Equity Income Fund and Large Cap Value Fund declare and pay income dividends monthly. The Balanced Fund, Large Cap Select Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, and Real Estate Securities Fund declare and pay income dividends quarterly. The Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund, Mid Cap Growth Opportunities Fund, Small Cap Growth Opportunities Fund, Small Cap Select Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Small-Mid Cap Core Fund, International Fund, and International Select Fund declare and pay income dividends annually. Distributions are payable in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the funds. Any net realized capital gains on sales of a fund’s securities are distributed to shareholders at least annually.
 
  The Real Estate Securities Fund receives substantial distributions from holdings in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). Distributions from REITs may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain, or a return of capital to the REIT shareholder. The proper characterization of REIT distributions is generally not known until after the end of each calendar year. As such, Real Estate Securities Fund must use estimates in reporting the character of its income and distributions for financial statement purposes. The actual character of distributions to fund shareholders will be reflected on the Form 1099 received by shareholders after the end of the calendar year. Due to the nature of REIT investments, a portion of the distributions received by a fund shareholder may represent a return of capital.
 
  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/tax differences. These differences are primarily due to deferred wash sale and straddle losses, foreign currency gains and losses, investments in limited partnerships and REITs, and the “mark-to-market” of certain passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”) for tax purposes. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the fiscal period that the differences arise.

  The character of distributions made during the six-month period 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 or year that the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by the fund. The distributions paid during the six-month period ended April 30, 2007 (estimated), and the year ended October 31, 2006, were as follows:

  purposes due to mark-to-market adjustments on open futures contracts, and the mark-to-market for certain PFICs for tax purposes.

Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund
                70,958                               70,958  
 
  In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, utilization of all or a portion of the above capital loss carryovers is limited on an annual basis for International Fund, Small Cap Select Fund, Small-Mid Cap Core Fund, Mid Cap Growth Opportunities Fund, and Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund to $4,046, $9,721, $1,524, $10,084, and $23,652, respectively.
 
  FUTURES TRANSACTIONS – In order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the market and to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet redemption requests, certain funds may enter into S&P stock index futures contracts and other stock index futures contracts. The Balanced Fund may also enter into interest rate index futures contracts.
 
  Upon entering into a futures contract, the fund is required to deposit cash or pledge U.S. government securities. The margin required for a futures contract is set by the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments, which are dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security or securities, are made or received by the fund each day (daily variation margin) and are recorded as unrealized gains (losses) until the contract is closed. When the contract is closed, the fund records a realized gain (loss) equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the fund’s basis in the contract.
 
  Risks of entering into futures contracts, in general, include the possibility that there will not be a perfect price correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist, resulting in an inability to close a futures position prior to its maturity date. Third, the purchase of a futures contract involves the risk that a fund could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the amount reflected in the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Unrealized gains (losses) on outstanding positions in futures contracts held at the close of the year will be recognized as capital gains (losses) for federal income tax purposes.
 
  At April 30, 2007, International Select Fund and Balanced Fund had outstanding futures contracts as disclosed in their Schedules of Investments.
 
  OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS – The funds may utilize options in an attempt to manage market or business risk or enhance returns. When a call or put option is written, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability. The liability is marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value of the option written. When a written option expires, a gain is realized in the amount of the premium originally received. If a closing purchase contract is entered into, a gain or loss is realized in the amount of the original premium less the cost of the closing transaction. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a written put option is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security which is purchased upon exercise of the option. As of April 30, 2007, the Balanced Fund held written options as disclosed in its Schedule of Investments.
 
  Purchased options are recorded as investments and marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value of the option contract. If a purchased option expires, a loss is realized in the amount of the cost of the option. If a closing transaction is entered into, a gain or loss is realized to the extent that the proceeds from the sale are greater or less than the cost of the option. If a put option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security by adjusting the proceeds from such sale by the amount of the premium originally paid. If a call option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased upon exercise is increased by the premium originally paid. As of April 30, 2007, the Balanced Fund held options purchased as disclosed in its Schedule of Investments.
 
  SWAP AGREEMENTS – The Balanced Fund may invest in swap agreements. A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The fund may enter into interest rate and credit default swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk.
First American Funds Semiannual Report 2007       95


Table of Contents

Notes to  Financial Statements  continued
  Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the fund with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal). As of April 30, 2007, Balanced Fund had outstanding interest rate swaps as disclosed in its Schedule of Investments.
 
  In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a specified reference entity on its obligation (typically a corporate issue or sovereign issue of an emerging country). The fund may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of particular issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the fund owns an issuance of or otherwise has exposure to the issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. As of April 30, 2007, Balanced Fund had outstanding credit default swaps as disclosed in its Schedule of Investments.
 
  Swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap agreement is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received by the fund are included as part of miscellaneous income on the Statement of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market, and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to an agreement may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreement, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
 
  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION – The books and records of International Fund and International Select Fund relating to the funds’ non-U.S. dollar denominated investments are maintained in U.S. dollars on the following bases:
  •  market value of investment securities, assets, and liabilities are translated at the current rate of exchange; and
 
  •  purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
  The International Fund and International Select Fund do not isolate the portion of gains and losses on investments in equity securities that is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities.
 
  The International Fund and International Select Fund report certain foreign currency-related transactions as components of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. At April 30, 2007, International Fund did not have foreign currency holdings. The International Select Fund had foreign currency holdings consisting of multiple denominations.
 
  FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS – The International Fund and International Select Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts as hedges against either specific transactions or fund positions. The aggregate principal amount of the contracts are not recorded because the funds intend to settle the contracts prior to delivery. All commitments are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable foreign exchange rate, and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded currently. The funds realize gains or losses at the time the forward contracts are extinguished. Unrealized gains or losses on outstanding positions in forward foreign currency contracts held at the close of the period are recognized as ordinary income or loss for federal income tax purposes.
 
  The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities, but it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although forward foreign currency contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit a potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the amount reflected in the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amount in U.S. dollars reflects the total exposure the fund has in that particular currency contract. In addition, there could be exposure to risks (limited to the amount of unrealized gains) if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. At April 30, 2007, the funds had no outstanding forward currency contracts.
 
  SECURITIES PURCHASED ON A WHEN-ISSUED BASIS – Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by a fund on a when-issued or forward-commitment basis can take place up to a month or more after the transaction. Such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuations, and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. Each fund segregates assets with a market value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments. The purchase of securities on a when-issued or forward-commitment basis may increase the volatility of the fund’s net asset value if the fund makes such purchases while remaining substantially fully invested. At April 30, 2007, Balanced Fund had when-

Table of Contents

  issued or forward-commitment securities outstanding with a total cost of $2,962.
  In connection with the ability to purchase securities on a when-issued basis, each fund may also enter into dollar rolls in which the fund sells securities purchased on a forward-commitment basis and simultaneously contracts with a counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon, and maturity), but not identical, securities on a specified future date. As an inducement for the fund to “roll over” its purchase commitments, the fund receives negotiated amounts in the form of reductions of the purchase price of the commitment. Dollar rolls are considered a form of leverage. As of and for the six-month period ended April 30, 2007, the funds had no dollar rolls.
 
  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 15% 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, and may have contractual restrictions on resale. 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. At April 30, 2007, Real Estate Securities Fund, Small Cap Growth Opportunities Fund, Small Cap Select Fund, and Balanced Fund had investments in illiquid securities with a total value of $300, $3,745, $6,085, and $118, respectively, or 0.0%, 1.2%, 0.5%, and 0.0%, respectively, of total net assets.

  SECURITIES LENDING – In order to generate additional income, a 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. Each fund’s policy is to receive collateral from the borrower 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. If the value of the securities on loan increases, additional collateral is received from the borrower. 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.
 
  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 funds. 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”). FAF Advisors receives fees as a percentage of each fund’s net income from securities lending transactions. With respect to International Fund and International Select Fund, a portion of this amount is paid to State Street Bank and Trust for acting as sub-lending agent. Effective January 23, 2007, for each fund other than International Fund and International Select Fund, collateral for securities on loan is invested in a money market fund administered by FAF Advisors, and FAF Advisors will receive an administration fee equal to 0.02% of such fund’s average daily net assets. For International Fund and International Select Fund, State Street Bank and Trust will continue to act as sub-lending agent and will receive a portion of FAF Advisors’ fee. Securities lending fees

  Income from securities lending is recorded on the Statement of Operations as securities lending income net of fees paid to FAF Advisors.
 
  SECURITY LITIGATION SETTLEMENTS – Income from settlement proceeds related to portfolio securities is recorded as an adjustment to realized or unrealized gains or losses. For the six-month period ended April 30, 2007, Small Cap Growth Opportunities Fund, Small Cap Select Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Small-Mid Cap Core Fund, Mid Cap Growth Opportunities Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Balanced Fund, and Equity Income Fund received settlement proceeds of $158, $314, $0 (due to rounding), $92, $161, $10, $250, $40, $629, and $371, respectively, as an adjustment to realized gains or losses for settlement proceeds related to securities no longer included in the portfolio.
 
  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 evenly across all funds, allocated based on relative net assets of all funds within the First American Family of Funds, or a combination of both methods. 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 SEC, 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 April 30, 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 selected 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 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 amount 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 based upon average daily net assets. The annual fee for each fund is as follows:

  The funds may invest in related money market funds that are series of First American Funds, Inc., subject to certain limitations. In order to avoid the payment of duplicative investment advisory fees to FAF Advisors, which acts as the investment advisor to both the investing funds and the related money market funds, FAF Advisors will reimburse each investing fund an amount equal to that portion of FAF Advisor’s investment advisory fee received from the related money market funds that is attributable to the assets of the investing fund. For financial statement purposes these reimbursements are recorded as investment income.

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, equal to each fund’s pro rata share of an amount equal, on an annual basis, to 0.25% of the aggregate average daily net assets of all open-end mutual funds in the First American Family of Funds up to $8 billion, 0.235% on the next $17 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets, 0.22% on the next $25 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets, and 0.20% 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.

  CUSTODIAN FEES – U.S. Bank serves as the custodian for each fund other than International Fund and International Select Fund pursuant to a custodian agreement with FAIF. The fee for each fund (except International Fund and International Select Fund) is equal to an annual rate of 0.005% of average daily net assets. State Street Bank (“SSB”) serves as the custodian for International Fund and International Select Fund pursuant to a custodian agreement with FAIF. The International Fund and International Select Fund pay SSB various asset-based fees and transaction charges based on the issuer’s country. All fees are computed daily and paid monthly.
 
  Under the custodian agreements, interest earned on uninvested cash balances is used to reduce a portion of each fund’s custodian expenses. The International Fund and International Select Fund have also entered into agreements with SSB to receive certain credits to reduce the amount of custody fees incurred. These credits, if any, are disclosed as “Indirect payments from custodian” in the Statement of Operations. Conversely, the custodian charges a fee for any cash overdrafts incurred, which increases the fund’s custodian expenses.
 
  For the six-month period ended April 30, 2007, custodian fees were increased as a result of overdrafts, and decreased as a result of interest earned (and, for International Fund and International Select Fund, as a result of other custodian credits) as follows:

  The difference between cost for financial statement purposes and federal tax purposes is primarily due to losses deferred from wash sales, investments in limited partnerships and REITs, the amount of gain (loss) recognized for tax purposes due to mark-to-market adjustments on open futures contracts, and the mark-to-market of certain PFICs for tax purposes.
> Sector Risk
  Portfolios that primarily invest in a particular sector may experience greater volatility than portfolios investing in a broad range of industry sectors. Real Estate Securities Fund primarily invests in income-producing common stocks of publicly traded companies engaged in the real estate industry. The real estate industry has been subject to substantial fluctuations and declines on a local, regional, and national basis in the past and that may continue in the future. As of April 30, 2007, Small Cap Growth Opportunities Fund and Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund each had a significant portion of their assets invested in the information technology sector, which could be more sensitive to short product cycles and aggressive pricing than the technology industry as a whole. As of the same date, International Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, and Large Cap Value Fund had significant portions of their assets invested in the financials sector. The financials sector may be more greatly impacted by the performance of the overall economy, interest rates, competition, and consumer confidence and spending.

> 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 of 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 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 that 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 April 30, 2008.
 
  In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement on 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 disclosures 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 April 30, 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.
> Subsequent Event – Results of the Special Meeting
  A special meeting of the shareholders of International Select Fund was held on May 17, 2007, for shareholders of record as of April 4, 2007. The shareholders of the fund voted on whether to approve a new investment sub-advisory agreement between HGI and FAF Advisors. Shareholders also voted on whether to approve a proposal to authorize a “manager-of-managers” structure for the fund. The results of the vote at the shareholder meeting held May 17, 2007, were as follows:
 
  To approve an investment sub-advisory agreement between FAF Advisors and HGI with respect to the fund (not rounded):
