Government Obligations fund
Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Government Obligations Fund (the Fund), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2004, to September 30, 2004.
Actual Expenses
For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Prime Obligations fund
Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Prime Obligations Fund (the Fund), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees (for example, any contingent deferred sales charges that may apply on Class B or Class C shares); distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2004, to September 30, 2004.
Actual Expenses
For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses.

Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
First American Funds, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments of First American Funds, Inc. (comprised of the Government Obligations, Prime Obligations, Tax Free Obligations, Treasury Obligations and Treasury Reserve Funds) (the "Funds") as of September 30, 2004, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, except as noted below. These financial statements and the 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. The financial highlights of the Treasury Reserve Fund for the periods presented through October 31, 2000, were audited by other auditors whose reports dated December 29, 2000 and January 7, 2000, expressed unqualified opinions on those financial highlights.
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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a re asonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights audited by us as referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective funds constituting First American Funds, Inc. at September 30, 2004, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the periods indicated herein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2004
1 > Organization
The First American Government Obligations Fund, Prime Obligations Fund, Tax Free Obligations Fund, Treasury Obligations Fund, and Treasury Reserve 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, and Piper Jaffray shares. Prior to December 1, 2003, Class A shares were named Class S shares and Piper Jaffray shares were named Class A shares. Class A shares are not subject to sales charges. Class B and Class C shares of the 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 su bject 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, and Piper Jaffray shares are offered only to qualifying institutional investors. Treasury Reserve Fund only offers Class A shares. Class B, Class C, and Class I shares are not offered by the Government Obligations Fund, Tax Free Obligations Fund, Treasury Obligations Fund, or Treasury Reserve Fund.
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 the level of distribution and shareholder servicing fees charged may differ among classes. Each class has exclusive voting rights on any matters relating to that class' servicing or distribution arrangements.
2 > Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies followed by the Funds are as follows:
SECURITY VALUATION – 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 Securities and Exchange Act of 1940, the market values of the securities held in the Funds are determined weekly using prices supplied by the Funds' pricing services. These values are then compared to the securities' amortized cost. Securities whose market price varies by more than 0.5% are identified and validated with the pricing agent. If the difference between the aggregate market price and aggregate amortized cost of all securities held by a Fund exceeds 50% of the allowable 0 .5% threshold, the Funds' administrators will notify the Funds' board of directors. The board of directors will be kept apprised of the situation until the difference is less than the 50% of the allowable 0.5% threshold. No such notification was required during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME – 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 on the first business day of the following month.
EXPENSES – Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are charged directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses are generally allocated to the Funds on the basis of relative net assets of all Funds within the First American Fund complex. Class specific expenses, such as 12b-1 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.
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. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period that the differences arise.
On the Statement of Assets and Liabilities the following reclassifications were made for the Tax Free Obligations Fund (000):
Undistributed Net Investment Income | Accumulated Net Realized Loss | ||||||||||
Tax Free Obligations Fund | $ | 13 | $ | (13 | ) |
The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. In addition, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which the amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by the Fund. The distributions paid during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (adjusted by dividends payable as of September 30, 2004 and 2003), were characterized as follows (000):

The differences between book-basis and tax-basis undistributed/accumulated income, gains and losses are primarily due to distributions declared but not paid by September 30, 2004.
As of September 30, 2004, the Treasury Obligations Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $62,000 that will expire in 2008.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS – Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with member banks of the Federal Reserve or registered broker dealers whom the Funds' investment advisor deems creditworthy under guidelines approved by the Funds' board of directors, subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates.
Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by the custodian bank until the respective agreements mature. Each Fund may also invest in triparty repurchase agreements. Securities held as collateral for triparty repurchase agreements are maintained in a segregated account by the broker's custodian bank until the maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions of the repurchase agreements ensure that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the
FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS Annual Report 2004

Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2004
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, 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 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.
U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. ("USBAM") serves as the securities lending agent for the Funds in transactions involving the lending of portfolio securities on behalf of the Funds. USBAM 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"). USBAM currently receives fees equal to 25% of the Funds' income from securities lending transactions. The Funds also pay an administrative fee to USBAM equal to 0.025% based on the cash collateral held for the securities on loan. Fees paid to USBAM from the Government Obligations Fund for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, were $24,991. As of October 1, 2004, USBAM will receive fees equal to 35% of the Funds' income from securities lending transactions. The Funds will no longer pay an administrative fee to USBAM.
INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM – Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the Funds, along with other registerd 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 September 30, 2004.
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 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 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.
3 > Fees and Expenses
ADVISORY FEES – Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the "Agreement"), USBAM manages each Fund's assets and furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research and personnel. The Agreement requires each Fund to pay USBAM a monthly fee based upon average daily net assets. The annual fee for each Fund is 0.10% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. USBAM voluntarily waived fees during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, so that total fund operating expenses, as a percentage of average daily net assets, did not exceed the following amounts:

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.

Seventh | - | ||||||
Eighth | - |
A CDSC of 1.00% is imposed on redemptions made in Class C shares for the first 12 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.

Response: Set forth below are the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures pursuant to paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X:
Audit Committee policy regarding pre-approval of services provided by the Independent Auditor
The Audit Committee of the First American Funds 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 Audit 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 Audit Committee of the First American Funds (“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 Fund’s 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 Audit Committee review and pre-approval responsibilities, the review by the Audit 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 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 Audit 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 Audit 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 Audit 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 Audit 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 firm without the prior approval of the Audit 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 Audit Committee of the First American Funds is also responsible for pre-approving certain non-audit services provided to U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, U.S. Bank N.A., Quasar Distributors, U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC and any other entity under common control with U.S. Bancorp Asset Management 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 Audit Committee is not required to pre-approve all services provided to U.S. Bancorp Asset Management and affiliated service providers, the Audit 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) Disclose the percentage of services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
Response: All of the services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of Item 4 that were provided to the registrant on or after May 6, 2003, the effective date of SEC rules relating to the pre-approval of non-audit services, were pre-approved by the audit committee.
(f) If greater than 50%, disclose the percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.
