Notes to Financial STATEMENTS (unaudited as to February 28, 2006)

(1) Organization   American Strategic Income Portfolio Inc. ("ASP"), American Strategic Income Portfolio Inc. II ("BSP"), American Strategic Income Portfolio Inc. III ("CSP"), and American Select Portfolio Inc. ("SLA") (the "funds") are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) as diversified, closed-end management investment companies. The funds emphasize investments in mortgage-related assets that directly or indirectly represent a participation in or are secured by and payable from mortgage loans. They may also invest in U.S. government securities, corporate debt securities, preferred stock issued by real estate investment trusts, and mortgage servicing rights. In addition, the funds may borrow using reverse repurchase agreements and revolving credit facilities. Fund shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols ASP, BSP, CSP, and SLA, respectively.  
    On June 22, 2005, the funds' board of directors approved a change in the funds' fiscal year-ends from May 31 to August 31 for BSP and CSP, and from November 30 to August 31 for ASP and SLA, effective with the fiscal period ended August 31, 2005.  
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies   Security Valuations  
    Security valuations for the funds' investments (other than whole loans, participation mortgages, and mortgage servicing rights) are furnished by one or more independent pricing services that have been approved by the funds' board of directors. Investments in equity securities that are traded on a national securities exchange 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 price 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 price 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 security is purchased or 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. Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at their amortized cost which approximates market value. Security valuations are performed once a week and at the end of each month.  
    The funds' investments in whole loans (single family, multifamily, and commercial), participation mortgages, and mortgage servicing rights are generally not traded in any organized market and

therefore, market quotations are not readily available. These investments are valued at fair value according to procedures adopted by the funds' board of directors. Pursuant to these procedures, whole loan investments are initially valued at cost and their values are subsequently monitored and adjusted using a U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. ("USBAM") pricing model designed to incorporate, among other things, the present value of the projected stream of cash flows on such investments. The pricing model takes into account a number of relevant factors including the projected rate of prepayments, the delinquency profile, the historical payment record, the expected yield at purchase, changes in prevailing interest rates, and changes in the real or perceived liquidity of whole loans, participation mortgages or mortgage servicing rights, as the case may be. The results of the pricing model may be further subject to price ceilings due to the illiquid nature of the loans. Changes in prevailing interest rates, real or perceived liquidity, yield spreads, and creditworthiness are factored into the pricing model each week.  
Certain mortgage loan information is received once a month. This information includes, but is not limited to, the projected rate of prepayments, projected rate and severity of defaults, the delinquency profile, and the historical payment record. Valuations of whole loans, participation mortgages, and mortgage servicing rights are determined no less frequently than weekly. Although USBAM believes the pricing model to be reasonable and appropriate, the actual values that may be realized upon the sale of whole loans, participation mortgages, and mortgage servicing rights can only be determined in negotiations between the funds and third parties.  
As of February 28, 2006, ASP, BSP, CSP, and SLA had fair valued securities with values of $40,915,319, $210,832,209, $257,609,657, and $155,291,300, respectively, or 79.0%, 109.0%, 99.4%, and 110.2% of net assets, respectively.  
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 accretion of bond discounts and amortization of bond premiums, is recorded on the 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.  
Whole Loans and Participation Mortgages  
Whole loans and participation mortgages may bear a greater risk of loss arising from a default on the part of the borrower of the underlying loans than do traditional mortgage-backed securities. This is because whole loans and participation mortgages, unlike most mortgage-backed securities, generally are not backed by any government guarantee or private credit enhancement. Such risk may be greater during a period of declining or stagnant real estate values. In addition, the individual loans underlying whole loans and participation mortgages may be larger than the loans underlying mortgage-backed securities. With respect to participation mortgages, the funds generally will not be able to unilaterally enforce their rights in the event of a default, but rather will be dependent on the cooperation of the other participation holders.  
The funds do not record past due interest as income until received. The funds may incur certain costs and delays in the event of a foreclosure. Also, there is no assurance that the subsequent sale of the property will produce an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal balance of the loan as of the date the borrower went into default, the accrued unpaid interest, and all of the foreclosure expenses. In this case, the funds may suffer a loss.

Notes to Financial STATEMENTS continued

At February 28, 2006, CSP had one loan representing 1.8% of net assets that was 120 or more days delinquent as to the timely monthly payment of principal and interest. This delinquency relates solely to a multifamily whole loan and represents 1.9% of total multifamily and commercial loans outstanding at February 28, 2006. At February 28, 2006, no single family or commercial loans were delinquent.  
At February 28, 2006, no loans were 120 or more days delinquent in ASP, BSP, or SLA.  
Real estate acquired through foreclosure, if any, is recorded at estimated fair value. The funds may receive rental or other income as a result of holding real estate. In addition, the funds may incur expenses associated with maintaining any real estate owned. On February 28, 2006, BSP owned an apartment building with a value of $10,088,000, for a total of 5.2% of the fund's net assets. BSP did not receive any rental income but did incur $55,866 of expenses during the six-month period ended February 28, 2006. BSP did not hold any other real estate during the six-month period ended February 28, 2006. BSP did not recognize any net realized gains (losses) during this same period.  
On February 28, 2006, ASP, CSP, and SLA owned no real estate.  
Mortgage Servicing Rights  
The fund may acquire interests in the cash flow from servicing fees through contractual arrangements with mortgage servicers. Mortgage servicing rights, similar to interest-only securities, generate no further cash flow when a mortgage is prepaid or goes into default. Mortgage servicing rights are accounted for on a level-yield basis with recognized income based on the estimated amounts and timing of cash flows. Such estimates are adjusted periodically as the underlying market conditions change.  
Reverse Repurchase Agreements  
Reverse repurchase agreements involve the sale of portfolio-eligible securities by the funds, coupled with an agreement to repurchase the securities at a specified date and price. Reverse repurchase agreements may increase volatility of the funds' net asset values and involve the risk that interest costs on money borrowed may exceed the return on securities purchased with that borrowed money. Reverse repurchase agreements are considered to be borrowings by the funds, and are subject to the funds' overall restriction on borrowing under which each fund must maintain asset coverage of at least 300%. For the six-month period ended February 28, 2006, the weighted average borrowings outstanding for ASP, BSP, CSP, and SLA were $7,491,730, $61,899,336, $61,435,858, and $29,696,987, respectively, and the weighted average interest rates paid by the funds on such borrowings were 4.12%, 4.92%, 5.01%, and 4.83%, respectively.  
Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis  
Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the funds on a when-issued or forward-commitment basis can take place a month or more after the transaction date. Such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. Each fund segregates, with its custodian, assets with a market value equal to the amount of its purchase commitments. The purchase of securities on a when-issued or forward-commitment basis may increase the volatility of a fund's net asset value if the fund makes such purchases while remaining substantially fully invested. As of February 28, 2006, the funds had no outstanding when-issued or forward-commitment securities.

Federal Taxes  
The funds intend to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and not be subject to federal income tax. Therefore, no income tax provision is required. The funds also intend to distribute their taxable net investment income and realized gains, if any, to avoid the payment of any federal excise taxes.  
The tax character of distributions paid during the six-month period ended February 28, 2006, the nine-month fiscal period ended August 31, 2005, and the fiscal year ended November 30, 2004 were as follows:

At August 31, 2005, the components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:  

 

    American Strategic
Income Portfolio
  American Strategic
Income Portfolio II
  American Strategic
Income Portfolio III
  American Select
Portfolio
 
Undistributed ordinary income   $     $ 1,333,868     $ 730,772     $ 3,494,687    
Accumulated capital gains (losses)     (1,943,334 )     (811,879 )     (286,617 )     1,356,052    
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)     5,253       (13,488,247 )     (6,367,988 )     (138,625 )  
Accumulated earnings (deficit)   $ (1,938,081 )   $ (12,966,258 )   $ (5,923,833 )   $ 4,712,114    

 

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and accumulated realized gains (losses) at February 28, 2006, is attributable to a one-time tax election whereby the funds marked appreciated securities to market creating capital gains that were used to reduce capital loss carryovers and increase tax cost basis.  
Distributions to Shareholders  
Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid on a monthly basis. Any net realized capital gains on sales of securities for the funds are distributed to shareholders at least annually. These distributions are recorded as of the close of business on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are payable in cash or, pursuant to the funds' dividend reinvestment plans, reinvested  

 

2006 Semiannual Report

First American Mortgage Funds

Notes to Financial STATEMENTS continued

    in additional shares of the funds' capital stock. Under each fund's plan, fund shares will be purchased in the open market unless the market price plus commissions exceeds the net asset value by 5% or more. If, at the close of business on the dividend payment date, the shares purchased in the open market are insufficient to satisfy the dividend reinvestment requirement, the funds will issue new shares at a discount of up to 5% from the current market price.  
    Repurchase Agreements and Other Short-Term Securities  
    For repurchase agreements entered into with certain broker-dealers, the funds, along with other affiliated registered investment companies, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account, the daily aggregate of which is invested in repurchase agreements secured by U.S. government or agency obligations. Securities pledged as collateral for all individual and joint repurchase agreements are held by the funds' custodian bank until maturity of the repurchase agreement. All agreements require that the daily market value of the collateral be in excess of the repurchase amount, including accrued interest, to protect the funds in the event of a default.  
    Deferred Compensation Plan  
    Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), non-interested directors of the First American Fund family may participate and elect to defer receipt of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of selected open-end First American Funds as designated by the board of directors. All amounts in the Plan are 100% vested and accounts under the Plan are obligations of the funds. Deferred amounts remain in the funds until distributed in accordance with the Plan.  
    Use of Estimates in 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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.  
    Reclassifications  
    Certain amounts in the 2004 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.  
(3) Expenses   Investment Advisory Fees  
    Pursuant to investment advisory agreements with each fund (each an "Agreement"), USBAM, a subsidiary of U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank"), manages the funds' assets and furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research, and personnel. For ASP, BSP, and CSP, the Agreement provides USBAM with a monthly investment advisory fee in an amount equal to an annualized rate of 0.20% of the respective fund's average weekly net assets and 4.50% of the daily gross income accrued by such fund during the month (i.e., investment income, including accretion of bond discounts and amortization of premiums, other than gains from the sale of securities or gains from options and futures contracts less interest on money borrowed by the funds). The monthly investment advisory fee shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 1/12 of 0.725% of the respective fund's average weekly net assets during the month (approximately 0.725% on an annual basis). For SLA, the Agreement provides USBAM with a monthly investment advisory fee in an amount equal to an annualized rate of 0.50% of the fund's average weekly net assets. For its fees, USBAM provides investment advice and, in general, conducts the management and investment activities of the funds.

    The funds may invest in money market funds that are a series of First American Funds, Inc. ("FAF"), subject to certain limitations. In order to avoid the payment of duplicative investment advisory fees to USBAM, which acts as the investment advisor to these funds and the related money market funds, USBAM will reimburse to each fund an amount equal to the investment advisory fees received from the related money market funds that are attributable to the assets of that fund. For financial statement purposes, this reimbursement is recorded as investment income.  
    Administrative Fees  
    USBAM serves as the funds' administrator pursuant to administration agreements between USBAM and each fund. Under these agreements, USBAM receives a monthly administrative fee from each fund in an amount equal to an annualized rate of 0.25% of the fund's average weekly net assets. For its fee, USBAM provides numerous services to the funds including, but not limited to, handling the general business affairs, financial and regulatory reporting, and various other services.  
    Custodian Fees  
    U.S. Bank serves as each fund's custodian pursuant to a custodian agreement with the funds. The custodian fee charged to each fund is equal to an annual rate of 0.02% of such fund's average weekly net assets. These fees are computed weekly and paid monthly.  
    Under the custodian agreement, interest earned on uninvested cash balances is used reduce to 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 February 28, 2006, custodian fees for ASP, BSP, CSP, and SLA were increased by $0, $207, $3,135, and $114 as a result of overdrafts and reduced by $174, $3,276, $3,964, and $2,292 as a result of interest earned, respectively.  
    Mortgage Servicing Fees  
    The funds may enter into mortgage servicing agreements with mortgage servicers for whole loans and participation mortgages. For a fee, mortgage servicers maintain loan records, such as insurance and taxes and the proper allocation of payments between principal and interest.  
    Other Fees and Expenses  
    In addition to the investment advisory, administrative, custodian, and mortgage servicing fees, the funds are responsible for paying most other operating expenses, including: legal, auditing and accounting services, postage and printing of shareholder reports, transfer agent fees and expenses, listing fees, outside directors' fees and expenses, insurance, interest, expenses related to real estate owned, fees to outside parties retained to assist in conducting due diligence, taxes, and other miscellaneous expenses. For the six-month period ended February 28, 2006, legal fees and expenses were paid to a law firm of which an Assistant Secretary of the funds is a partner.  
(4) Investment Security Transactions   Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities and real estate, other than temporary investments in short-term securities, for the six-month period ended February 28, 2006, were as follows:  

 

    Cost of Purchases   Proceeds from Sales  
American Strategic Income Portfolio   $ 6,794,238     $ 7,348,503    
American Strategic Income Portfolio II     48,864,464       39,604,595    
American Strategic Income Portfolio III     97,925,367       97,731,201    
American Select Portfolio     34,073,695       27,094,171

    Included in proceeds from sales for ASP, BSP, CSP, and SLA were $41,887, $241,593, $1,391,181, and $974,181, respectively, from prepayment penalties.  
(5) Capital Loss Carryover   For federal income tax purposes, the funds had capital loss carryovers at August 31, 2005, which, if not offset by subsequent capital gains, will expire on the funds' fiscal year-ends as follows:  

 

    Expiration  
    2007   2008   2009   2010   2011   2012   2013  
American Strategic Income Portfolio   $     $ 911,242     $     $ 737,067     $ 267,385     $     $ 27,641

American Strategic Income Portfolio III     69,740                                     216,877    

 

(6) Indemnifications   The funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.  
(7) Investment Advisor Name Change   Effective March 31, 2006, USBAM changed its name to FAF Advisors, Inc.
