Government Obligations fund
Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Government Obligations Fund (the "fund"), you incur ongoing costs, including advisory fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from September 1, 2005, to February 28, 2006.
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. As a shareholder of the fund, you do not incur any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees, but shareholders of other funds may incur such costs. 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 (for example, any contingent deferred sales charges that may apply on Class B or Class C shares); and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from September 1, 2005, to February 28, 2006.
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.

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.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited as to February 28, 2006)
1 > Organization
The Government Obligations Fund, Prime Obligations Fund, Tax Free Obligations Fund, Treasury Obligations Fund and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund (each a "fund" and collectively, the "funds") are mutual funds offered by First American Funds, Inc. ("FAF"), which is a member of the First American Family of Funds. FAF is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment management company. FAF's articles of incorporation permit the board of directors to create additional funds in the future.
FAF offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class I, Class Y, Class Z, Piper Jaffray, and Reserve 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 Prime Obligations Fund are only available pursuant to an exchange for Class B and Class C shares, respectively, of another fund in the First American Family of Funds or certain other unaffiliated funds, or in establishing a systematic exchange program that will be used to purchase Class B and Class C shares, respectively, of those funds. Class B shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge for six years and automatically convert to Class A shares after eight years. Class C shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge for 12 months, and will not convert to Class A shares. Class D, Class I, Class Y, Class Z, Piper Jaffray, and Reserve shares are offered only to qualifying institutional investors. Class B, Class C, and Class I shares are not offered by Government Obligations Fund, Tax Free Obligations Fund, Treasury Obligations Fund or U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund. Piper Jaffray shares are not offered by U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund. Reserve shares are offered by Treasury Obligations Fund only. On February 22, 2006, the funds' board of directors authorized the creation of an additional share class in each fund, the Institutional Investor shares, effective March 31, 2006.
The funds' prospectuses provide descriptions of each fund's investment objective, principal investment strategies, and principal risks. All classes of shares of a fund have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, and the same terms and conditions, except that certain fees, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees, may differ among classes.

On June 22, 2005, the funds' board of directors approved a change in the funds' fiscal year end from September 30 to August 31, effective with the eleven-month period ended August 31, 2005.
2 > Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies followed by the funds are as follows:
SECURITY VALUATIONS – Investment securities held are stated at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Under the amortized cost method, any discount or premium is amortized ratably to the expected maturity of the security and is included in interest income. In accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the 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' administrator will notify the funds' board of directors. The board of directors will then determine what action, if any, to take. No such notification was required during the six-month period ended February 28, 2006.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME – For financial statement purposes, the funds record security transactions on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Interest income, including amortization of bond premium and discount, is recorded on an accrual basis.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS – Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and are payable in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the fund at net asset value on the first business day of the following month.
FEDERAL TAXES – Each fund is treated as a separate taxable entity. Each fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company as provided in Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to distribute all taxable income, if any, to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

Net investment income and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes because of temporary or permanent book-to-tax differences. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period that the differences arise.
The tax character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. In addition, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal period or year 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 February 28, 2006, the fiscal period ended August 31, 2005, and the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 (adjusted by dividends payable as of February 28, 2006, August 31, 2005, and September 30, 2004) were as follows (000):

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS – Each fund (other than U.S. Treasury Money Market 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.
FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS Semiannual Report 2006

Notes to Financial Statements continued
Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by the custodian bank until the respective agreements mature. Each fund may also invest in triparty repurchase agreements. Securities held as collateral for triparty repurchase agreements are maintained in a segregated account by the broker's custodian bank until the maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions of the repurchase agreements ensure that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of default of the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the fund may be delayed or limited.
SECURITIES LENDING – In order to generate additional income, other than U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, 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. Currently, only Government Obligations Fund and Treasury Obligations Fund lend their securities. Each fund's policy is to maintain collateral in the form of cash, U.S. Government securities, or other high-grade debt obligations equal to at least 100% of the value of securities loaned. The collateral is then "marked to market" daily until the securities are returned. As with other extensions of credit, there may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securi ty fail financially. As of February 28, 2006, only Government Obligations had securities out to loan and cash collateral invested was as follows (000):
| | Repurchase Agreements | |
Government Obligations Fund | | $ | 200,856 | | |
U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. ("USBAM") serves as the securities lending agent for the fund in transactions involving the lending of portfolio securities on behalf of the fund. 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"). Effective January 1, 2006, USBAM receives fees equal to 32% of the funds' income from securities lending transactions. Prior to January 1, 2006, such fees were 35% of the fund's income from securities lending transactions. Fees paid to USBAM from Government Obligations Fund and Treasury Obligations Fund for the six-month period ended February 28, 2006 were $26,096 and $11,930, respectively.
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 Family of Funds. Class specific expenses, such as distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees are borne by that class. Income, other expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses of a fund are allocated to each respective class in proportion to the relative net assets of each class.
INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM – Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the 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 February 28, 2006.
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 amounts of net assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3 > Fees and Expenses
INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES – Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the "Agreement"), 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%. USBAM has contractually

These services include various legal, oversight and administrative services, and accounting services. The funds pay the Administrator 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 0.10% of the aggregate average daily net assets of all open-end mutual funds in the First American Family of Funds up to $8 billion, 0.085% on the next $17 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets, 0.07% on the next $25 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets, and 0.05% 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.

TRANSFER AGENT FEES – USBFS serves as the funds' transfer agent pursuant to a transfer agent and shareholder servicing agreement with FAF. FAF pays transfer agent fees of $18,500 per share class and additional per account fees for transfer agent services. These fees are allocated to each fund based upon the fund's pro rata share of the aggregate average daily net assets of the funds that comprise FAF. Under the transfer agent and shareholder servicing agreement, FAF also pays USBFS a fee equal, on an annual basis, to 0.10% of each fund's average daily net assets for Class A shares and 0.05% for all other share classes. This fee compensates USBFS for providing certain shareholder services and reimburses USBFS for its payments to financial institutions that establish and maintain omnibus accounts and provide customary services for such accounts. In addition to these fees, the funds may reimburse USBFS for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing transfer agent services.
For the six-month period ended February 28, 2006, transfer agent fees paid to USBFS by the funds included in this semiannual report were as follows (000):

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.

For the six-month period ended February 28, 2006, custodian fees for the Government Obligations Fund, Prime Obligations Fund, Tax Free Obligations Fund, Treasury Obligations Fund, and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund were increased by $233, $0, $578, $29, and $1,524 as a result of overdrafts and reduced by $886, $5,866, $663, $279, and $5 as a result of interest earned, respectively.
