Explanation of Financial Statements
As a shareholder in First American Funds, you receive shareholder reports semiannually. We strive to present this financial information in an easy-to-understand format; however, for many investors, the information contained in this shareholder report may seem very technical. So, we would like to take this opportunity to explain several sections of the shareholder report.
The Schedule of Investments details all of the securities held in the fund and their related dollar values on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are usually presented by type (common stock, bonds, etc.) and by industry classification (banking, communications, etc.). This information is useful for analyzing how your fund’s assets are invested and seeing where your portfolio manager believes the best opportunities exist to meet your objectives. Holdings are subject to change without notice and do not constitute a recommendation of any individual security. The Notes to the Financial Statements provide additional details on how the securities are valued.
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities lists the assets and liabilities of the fund and presents the fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. The investments in securities, as presented in the Schedule of Investments, comprise substantially all of the fund’s assets. Other assets include cash and receivables for items such as income earned by the fund but not yet received. Liabilities include payables for items such as fund expenses incurred but not yet paid.
The Statement of Operations details the dividends and interest income earned from securities as well as the expenses incurred by the fund during the reporting period. Fund expenses may be reduced through fee waivers or reimbursements. This statement reflects total expenses before any waivers or reimbursements, the amount of waivers and reimbursements (if any), and the net expenses. This statement also shows the net realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments owned during the period. The Notes to Financial Statements provide additional details on investment income and expenses of the fund.
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets describes how the fund’s net assets were affected by its operating results, distributions to shareholders, and shareholder transactions during the reporting period. This statement is important to investors because it shows exactly what caused the fund’s net asset size to change during the period.
The Financial Highlights provide a per-share breakdown of the components that affected the fund’s NAV for the current and past reporting periods. It also shows total return, expense ratios, net investment income ratios, and portfolio turnover rates. The net investment income ratios summarize the income earned less expenses, divided by the average net assets. The expense ratios represent the percentages of average net assets that were used to cover operating expenses during the period. Expense ratios can vary across funds for a number of reasons, including differences in advisory fees and the average shareholder account size. The portfolio turnover rate represents the percentage of the fund’s holdings that have changed over the course of the period, and gives an idea of how long the fund holds onto a particular security. A 100% turnover rate implies that an amount equal to the value of the entire portfolio is turned over in a year through the purchase and sale of securities.
The Notes to Financial Statements disclose the organizational background of the fund, its significant accounting policies, federal tax information, fees and compensation paid to affiliates, and significant risks and contingencies.
We hope this guide to your shareholder report will help you get the most out of this important resource. You can visit First American Funds’ website for other useful information on each of our funds, including fund prices, performance, fund manager bios, dividends, and downloadable fact sheets.

Arizona Tax Free Fund
Investment Objective: providing maximum current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and Arizona state income tax to the extent consistent with prudent investment risk
How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008?
The First American Arizona Tax Free Fund (the “fund”), Class Y shares, returned 1.26% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 (Class A shares returned 1.10%, without taking the sales charge into account, for the same period). By comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Lehman Municipal Bond Index*, returned 3.23%. Performance for the fund’s peer group, the Lipper Arizona Municipal Debt Funds Average, was 0.26%.
What were the general municipal market conditions during the fiscal year?
The municipal market endured one of its more tumultuous years ever as fallout from the housing debacle rocked market participants. Deterioration within their relatively new mortgage-backed book of business ultimately led to downgrades for several of the major monoline municipal bond insurers. The impaired credit quality and loss of confidence in many of the insurers affected much of the municipal market (use of insurance had become so pervasive that in recent years close to 50% of all new issuance came to market with an insurance wrap). The market was buffeted by irregular bouts of volatility and selling pressure as a number of accounts unwound positions. For example, tax-exempt money funds were forced to exit insured holdings en masse due to minimum ratings and liquidity requirements. To reduce debt, many municipal market investors were pressured to sell longer-maturity bonds when the floating-rate component of their borrowing programs was no longer money-fund eligible (the municipal market had in recent years developed its own form of “carry” trade, in which investors borrow in the short-term money markets and invest in longer maturities, trying to take advantage of the relative steepness of the municipal yield curve in comparison to other fixed-income markets).
Credit spreads (i.e., the differences in yield between higher- and lower-quality debt) were the first to widen as the market anticipated that lower-quality debt would struggle in a slowing economy. Ultimately, however, the insurer debacle cut an even wider swath through the market. Many insured bonds now trade solely based on the creditworthiness of underlying obligors with little or no value attributed to the insurance wrap. Not surprisingly, in this environment natural standalone (i.e., without an insurance wrap) AAA- and AA-rated bonds were generally the best performers for the year.
The municipal yield curve steepened over the past 12 months as yields on shorter maturities fell while longer maturity yields rose slightly. In terms of total return, intermediate maturities generally produced the best returns and longer-maturity bonds were the weakest-performing part of the curve. Although the overall municipal market started to regain its bearings near the end of the fiscal year, high-grade bonds still finished at yields of more than 90% (and in some cases more than 100%) of comparable-maturity Treasuries, which typically indicates that the high-grade bonds represent good value relative to Treasuries.
How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund’s performance?
The fund’s positions in mid to lower-grade securities underperformed for the fiscal year. Reflecting the trends in the broader market, the best-performing bonds in the fund from a quality standpoint were generally the natural high-grades (AAA- or AA-rated bonds) not affected by either the insurer debacle or the general widening of credit spreads in lower-grade bonds. The fund’s performance improved markedly during the first half of 2008, when credit spreads showed some signs of stabilizing as the market’s focus shifted toward the insurer debacle.
What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?
For most of the fiscal year, the duration of the fund remained long relative to its benchmark in order to increase the fund’s sensitivity to interest-rate movements. As in-state lower-rated securities were purchased by the fund, the out-of-state lower-rated holdings were reduced. Given the turmoil throughout the year and the resultant supply pressures, the fund was able to add these lower-rated securities at wider credit spreads – and therefore lower prices – than have been available for a number of years.
*Unlike mutual funds, index returns do not reflect any expenses, transaction costs, or cash flow effects.

California Intermediate Tax Free Fund
Investment Objective: providing current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and California state income tax to the extent consistent with preservation of capital
How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008?
The First American California Intermediate Tax Free Fund (the “fund”), Class Y shares, returned 3.33% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 (Class A shares returned 3.20%, without taking the sales charge into account, for the same period). By comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Lehman 7-Year Municipal Bond Index*, returned 5.60%. Performance for the fund’s peer group, the Lipper California Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average, was 2.59%.
What were the general municipal market conditions during the fiscal year?
The municipal market endured one of its more tumultuous years ever as fallout from the housing debacle rocked market participants. Deterioration within their relatively new mortgage-backed book of business ultimately led to downgrades for several of the major monoline municipal bond insurers. The impaired credit quality and loss of confidence in many of the insurers affected much of the municipal market (use of insurance had become so pervasive that in recent years close to 50% of all new issuance came to market with an insurance wrap).

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund’s performance?
Reflecting the trends in the broader market, the fund’s holdings in lower-grade securities underperformed for the fiscal year. The best-performing bonds in the fund were generally the natural high-grades (AAA- and AA-rated bonds), which were not affected by the insurer debacle, and shorter intermediate maturities, which benefited from the flattening yield curve over the course of the year. The fund’s holdings in lower-grade securities were generally short in maturity and somewhat less volatile in nature, and therefore were not a major detriment to performance. Although the fund’s duration (a measure of its sensitivity to interest-rate movements) was somewhat longer than the benchmark’s for most of the fiscal year, the fund posted solid total return numbers relative to its peer group.
What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?
The fund’s duration was slightly longer than the benchmark duration most of the past year, due in part to the relatively steeper slope of the California yield curve. Given the turmoil in the marketplace and the resultant supply pressures, the fund added to weightings in a variety of issuers and sectors (such as healthcare and education) at wider credit spreads – and, therefore, lower prices – than have been available for a number of years. Since we anticipate the shape of the municipal yield curve to flatten over time, we focused many purchases in the 10- to 15-plus-year range and reallocated out of shorter-maturity ranges while keeping duration constant by adjusting the fund’s cash reserves.

California Tax Free Fund
Investment Objective: providing maximum current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and California state income tax to the extent consistent with prudent investment risk
How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008?
The First American California Tax Free Fund (the “fund”), Class Y shares, returned 2.28% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 (Class A shares returned 2.11%, without taking the sales charge into account, for the same period). By comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Lehman Municipal Bond Index*, returned 3.23%. Performance for the fund’s peer group, the Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds Average, was -0.54%.
What were the general municipal market conditions during the fiscal year?
The municipal market endured one of its more tumultuous years ever as fallout from the housing debacle rocked market participants. Deterioration within their relatively new mortgage-backed book of business ultimately led to downgrades for several of the major monoline municipal bond insurers. The impaired credit quality and loss of confidence in many of the insurers affected much of the municipal market (use of insurance had become so pervasive that in recent years close to 50% of all new issuance came to market with an insurance wrap). The market was buffeted by irregular bouts of volatility and selling pressure as a number of accounts unwound positions. For example, tax-exempt money funds were forced to exit insured holdings en masse due to minimum ratings and liquidity requirements. To reduce debt, many municipal market investors were pressured to sell longer-maturity bonds when the floating-rate component of their borrowing programs was no longer money-fund eligible (the municipal market had in recent years developed its own form of “carry” trade, in which investors borrow in the short-term money markets and invest in longer maturities, trying to take advantage of the relative steepness of the municipal yield curve in comparison to other fixed-income markets).
Credit spreads (i.e., the differences in yield between higher- and lower-quality debt) were the first to widen as the market anticipated that lower-quality debt would struggle in a slowing economy. Ultimately, however, the insurer debacle cut an even wider swath through the market. Many insured bonds now trade solely based on the creditworthiness of underlying obligors with little or no value attributed to the insurance wrap. Not surprisingly, in this environment natural standalone (i.e., without an insurance wrap) AAA- and AA-rated bonds were generally the best performers for the year.
The municipal yield curve steepened over the past 12 months as yields on shorter maturities fell while longer maturity yields rose slightly. In terms of total return, intermediate maturities generally produced the best returns and longer-maturity bonds were the weakest-performing part of the curve. Although the overall municipal market started to regain its bearings near the end of the fiscal year, high-grade bonds still finished at yields of more than 90% (and in some cases more than 100%) of comparable-maturity Treasuries, which typically indicates that the high-grade bonds represent good value relative to Treasuries.
How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund’s performance?
Reflecting the trends in the broader market, the fund’s holdings in lower-grade securities generally had a negative effect on performance. The best-performing bonds in the fund from a quality standpoint were generally the natural high-grades (AAA- and AA-rated bonds) not affected by either the insurer debacle or the general widening in yield in lower-grade bonds. The fund also benefited from not having a high weighting in lower-grade land-based “dirt” bonds (issued to back new construction projects). The fund’s allocations to intermediate-maturity bonds also helped performance due to the flattening yield curve and general underperformance of long-maturity (10 years or more) bonds for the year.
What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?
The fund did slightly increase its duration (i.e., sensitivity to interest-rate movements) over the past few months as yields increased to historically high levels relative to comparable-maturity Treasuries. Since we anticipate the shape of the municipal yield curve to flatten over time, we reduced some of the weighting in intermediate maturities in favor of longer bonds. Given the turmoil throughout the year and the resultant supply pressures, the fund added to weightings in a variety of issuers and sectors (such as healthcare and education) at wider credit spreads – and, therefore, lower prices – than have been available for a number of years.

Colorado Intermediate Tax Free Fund
Investment Objective: providing current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and Colorado state income tax to the extent consistent with preservation of capital
How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008?
The First American Colorado Intermediate Tax Free Fund (the “fund”), Class Y shares, returned 3.20% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 (Class A shares returned 3.04%, without taking the sales charge into account, for the same period). By comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Lehman 7-Year Municipal Bond Index*, returned 5.60%. Performance for the fund’s peer group, the Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average, was 3.02%.
What were the general municipal market conditions during the fiscal year?
The municipal market endured one of its more tumultuous years ever as fallout from the housing debacle rocked market participants. Deterioration within their relatively new mortgage-backed book of business ultimately led to downgrades for several of the major monoline municipal bond insurers. The impaired credit quality and loss of confidence in many of the insurers affected much of the municipal market (use of insurance had become so pervasive that in recent years close to 50% of all new issuance came to market with an insurance wrap). The market was buffeted by irregular bouts of volatility and selling pressure as a number of accounts unwound positions. For example, tax-exempt money funds were forced to exit insured holdings en masse due to minimum ratings and liquidity requirements. To reduce debt, many municipal market investors were pressured to sell longer-maturity bonds when the floating-rate component of their borrowing programs was no longer money-fund eligible (the municipal market had in recent years developed its own form of “carry” trade, in which investors borrow in the short-term money markets and invest in longer maturities, trying to take advantage of the relative steepness of the municipal yield curve in comparison to other fixed-income markets).
Credit spreads (i.e., the differences in yield between higher- and lower-quality debt) were the first to widen as the market anticipated that lower-quality debt would struggle in a slowing economy. Ultimately, however, the insurer debacle cut an even wider swath through the market. Many insured bonds now trade solely based on the creditworthiness of underlying obligors with little or no value attributed to the insurance wrap. Not surprisingly, in this environment natural standalone (i.e., without an insurance wrap) AAA- and AA-rated bonds were generally the best performers for the year.
The municipal yield curve steepened over the past 12 months as yields on shorter maturities fell while longer maturity yields rose slightly. In terms of total return, intermediate maturities generally produced the best returns and longer-maturity bonds were the weakest-performing part of the curve. Although the overall municipal market started to regain its bearings near the end of the fiscal year, high-grade bonds still finished at yields of more than 90% (and in some cases more than 100%) of comparable-maturity Treasuries, which typically indicates that the high-grade bonds represent good value relative to Treasuries.
How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund’s performance?
Reflecting the trends in the broader market, the fund’s holdings in lower-grade securities generally had a negative effect on performance. The best-performing bonds in the fund from a quality standpoint were generally the natural high-grades (AAA- and AA-rated) not affected by either the insurer debacle or the general widening in yield in lower-grade bonds. Although the fund did hold meaningful positions in mid to lower-grade securities, which generally underperformed for the year, the fund’s performance improved over the first half of 2008 as credit spreads – and the performance of lower-rated securities – showed signs of stabilizing while the market focus increasingly shifted toward the insurer crisis. The entire year, while tumultuous, produced many relative value opportunities from both a trading and credit perspective that helped bolster the fund’s performance.
What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?
Since we anticipate the shape of the municipal yield curve to flatten over time, we focused many purchases in the 10- to 15-plus-year range and reallocated out of shorter maturity ranges while keeping duration (i.e., the fund’s sensitivity to interest-rate movements) constant by adjusting the fund’s cash reserves. Given the turmoil throughout the year and the resultant supply pressures, the fund added to weightings in a variety of issuers and revenue bond sectors (comprised of bonds that are backed by the revenue of specific projects) at wider credit spreads – and, therefore, lower prices – than have been available for a number of years. On a security-specific basis, the fund also sold a number of positions where we anticipated credit stress was not fully reflected in realized prices.

How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008?

Intermediate Tax Free Fund
Investment Objective: providing current income that is exempt from federal income tax to the extent consistent with preservation of capital
How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008?
The First American Intermediate Tax Free Fund (the “fund”), Class Y shares, returned 3.41% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 (Class A shares returned 3.33%, without taking the sales charge into account, for the same period). By comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Lehman 7-Year Municipal Bond Index*, returned 5.60%. Performance for the fund’s peer group, the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average, was 3.16%.
What were the general municipal market conditions during the fiscal year?
The municipal market endured one of its more tumultuous years ever as fallout from the housing debacle rocked market participants. Deterioration within their relatively new mortgage-backed book of business ultimately led to downgrades for several of the major monoline municipal bond insurers. The impaired credit quality and loss of confidence in many of the insurers affected much of the municipal market (use of insurance had become so pervasive that in recent years close to 50% of all new issuance came to market with an insurance wrap).

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund’s performance?
Reflecting the trends in the broader market, the best-performing bonds in the fund were generally the natural high-grades (AAA- and AA-rated bonds), which were not affected by the insurer debacle, and shorter intermediate maturities, which benefited from the flattening yield curve over the course of the year. Although the fund does hold meaningful positions in mid to-lower-grade securities, which generally underperformed for the year, the fund posted respectable total return numbers relative to its peer group for the fiscal year due in part to lower weightings in insured bonds. The fund’s relative performance improved markedly over the first half of 2008, when credit spreads – and the performance of lower-rated securities – showed signs of stabilizing as the market’s focus shifted toward the insurer debacle. The entire year, while tumultuous, produced many relative value opportunities from both a trading and credit perspective that helped bolster the fund’s performance.
What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?
Other than an occasional tactical adjustment, the fund’s duration, or sensitivity to interest-rate movements, was kept relatively neutral to the benchmark duration most of the past year. The fund did slightly increase its duration toward the end of the fiscal year as municipal yields moved to historically high levels relative to comparable-maturity Treasuries. Since we anticipate the shape of the municipal yield curve to flatten over time, we focused many purchases in the 10- to 15-plus-year range and reallocated out of shorter maturity ranges while keeping duration constant by adjusting the fund’s cash reserves. Given the turmoil throughout the year and the resultant supply pressures, the fund added to weightings in a variety of issuers and sectors (such as healthcare and education) at wider credit spreads – and therefore lower prices – than have been available for a number of years. On a security-specific basis, the fund also sold a number of positions where we anticipated credit stress was not fully reflected in realized prices.

Minnesota Intermediate Tax Free Fund
Investment Objective: providing current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and Minnesota state income tax to the extent consistent with preservation of capital
How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008?
The First American Minnesota Intermediate Tax Free Fund (the “fund”), Class Y shares, returned 3.51% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 (Class A shares returned 3.53%, without taking the sales charge into account, for the same period). By comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Lehman 7-Year Municipal Bond Index*, returned 5.60%. Performance for the fund’s peer group, the Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average, was 3.02%.
What were the general municipal market conditions during the fiscal year?
The municipal market endured one of its more tumultuous years ever as fallout from the housing debacle rocked market participants. Deterioration within their relatively new mortgage-backed book of business ultimately led to downgrades for several of the major monoline municipal bond insurers. The impaired credit quality and loss of confidence in many of the insurers affected much of the municipal market (use of insurance had become so pervasive that in recent years close to 50% of all new issuance came to market with an insurance wrap). The market was buffeted by irregular bouts of volatility and selling pressure as a number of accounts unwound positions. For example, tax-exempt money funds were forced to exit insured holdings en masse due to minimum ratings and liquidity requirements. To reduce debt, many municipal market investors were pressured to sell longer-maturity bonds when the floating-rate component of their borrowing programs was no longer money-fund eligible (the municipal market had in recent years developed its own form of “carry” trade, in which investors borrow in the short-term money markets and invest in longer maturities, trying to take advantage of the relative steepness of the municipal yield curve in comparison to other fixed-income markets).
Credit spreads (i.e., the differences in yield between higher- and lower-quality debt) were the first to widen as the market anticipated that lower-quality debt would struggle in a slowing economy. Ultimately, however, the insurer debacle cut an even wider swath through the market. Many insured bonds now trade solely based on the creditworthiness of underlying obligors with little or no value attributed to the insurance wrap. Not surprisingly, in this environment natural standalone (i.e., without an insurance wrap) AAA- and AA-rated bonds were generally the best performers for the year.
The municipal yield curve steepened over the past 12 months as yields on shorter maturities fell while longer maturity yields rose slightly. In terms of total return, intermediate maturities generally produced the best returns and longer-maturity bonds were the weakest-performing part of the curve. Although the overall municipal market started to regain its bearings near the end of the fiscal year, high-grade bonds still finished at yields of more than 90% (and in some cases more than 100%) of comparable-maturity Treasuries, which typically indicates that the high-grade bonds represent good value relative to Treasuries.
How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund’s performance?
Reflecting the trends in the broader market, the best-performing bonds in the fund from a quality standpoint were generally the natural high-grades (AAA- and AA-rated bonds) not affected by either the insurer debacle or the general widening of credit spreads in lower-grade bonds. In this respect the fund benefited from limited reliance on insurers in Minnesota. Although the fund does hold meaningful positions in mid to lower-grade securities, which generally underperformed for the year, the fund’s performance improved during the first half of 2008, when credit spreads – and the performance of lower-rated securities – showed signs of stabilizing as the market’s focus shifted towards the insurer debacle. The entire year, while tumultuous, produced many relative value opportunities from both a trading and credit perspective that helped bolster the fund’s performance.
What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?
Other than an occasional tactical adjustment, the fund’s duration, or sensitivity to interest-rate movements, was kept relatively neutral to the benchmark duration most of the fiscal year. Since we anticipate the shape of the municipal yield curve to flatten over time, we focused many purchases in the 10- to 15-plus-year range and reallocated out of shorter-maturity ranges while keeping duration constant by adjusting the fund’s cash reserves. Given the turmoil throughout the year and the resultant supply pressures, the fund added to weightings in a variety of issuers and revenue bond sectors (comprised of bonds that are backed by the revenue of specific projects) at wider credit spreads – and therefore lower prices – than have been available for a number of years. On a security-specific basis, the fund also sold a number of positions where we anticipated credit stress was not fully reflected in realized prices.

Minnesota Tax Free Fund
Investment Objective: providing maximum current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and Minnesota state income tax to the extent consistent with prudent investment risk
How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008?
The First American Minnesota Tax Free Fund (the “fund”), Class Y shares, returned 0.71% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 (Class A shares returned 0.54%, without taking the sales charge into account, for the same period). By comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Lehman Municipal Bond Index*, returned 3.23%. Performance for the fund’s peer group, the Lipper Minnesota Municipal Debt Funds Objective Average, was 1.13%.
What were the general municipal market conditions during the fiscal year?
The municipal market endured one of its more tumultuous years ever as fallout from the housing debacle rocked market participants. Deterioration within their relatively new mortgage-backed book of business ultimately led to downgrades for several of the major monoline municipal bond insurers. The impaired credit quality and loss of confidence in many of the insurers affected much of the municipal market (use of insurance had become so pervasive that in recent years close to 50% of all new issuance came to market with an insurance wrap).

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund’s performance?
The first half of the funds’ fiscal year was a difficult one, as positions in lower-quality bonds that had benefited performance in previous periods generally had negative impacts, dragging down the fund’s performance for the entire year. A steepening municipal yield curve and widening credit spreads (differences in yields between AAA-rated and lower-rated bonds) caused the fund’s positions in longer maturities, BBB-rated and nonrated bonds and selected healthcare issues to drag down performance relative to its peer group. Relatively smaller positions in short-to-intermediate maturities and higher-quality prerefunded bonds (bonds called by municipalities and backed by treasuries) performed well but were insufficient to offset the negatives noted above.
What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?
As the yield curve steepened, the fund reduced positions in better-performing two-to three-year maturities and made selective reductions in the 18- to 30-year range. We added to the five- to 16-year and 30-year ranges, where yields represented better relative value. In addition, the fund increased its duration (a measure of its sensitivity to interest-rate movements) over the period as municipal yields moved to historically high levels relative to comparable-maturity Treasuries. The fund also reduced better-performing AAA- and A-rated positions and added to BBB-rated holdings as credit spreads reached historically wide levels. We also added AA-rated transportation issues that were available at relatively attractive yields. Attractive spreads also led us to reduce higher-quality prerefunded and general obligation bonds (bonds backed directly by the taxing authority of the municipality) and to add positions in the healthcare sector.

Nebraska Tax Free Fund
Investment Objective: providing maximum current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and Nebraska state income tax to the extent consistent with prudent investment risk
How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008?
The First American Nebraska Tax Free Fund (the “fund”), Class Y shares, returned 2.45% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 (Class A shares returned 2.19%, without taking the sales charge into account, for the same period). By comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Lehman Municipal Bond Index*, returned 3.23%. Performance for the fund’s peer group, the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Average, was 1.44%.
What were the general municipal market conditions during the fiscal year?
The municipal market endured one of its more tumultuous years ever as fallout from the housing debacle rocked market participants. Deterioration within their relatively new mortgage-backed book of business ultimately led to downgrades for several of the major monoline municipal bond insurers. The impaired credit quality and loss of confidence in many of the insurers affected much of the municipal market (use of insurance had become so pervasive that in recent years close to 50% of all new issuance came to market with an insurance wrap). The market was buffeted by irregular bouts of volatility and selling pressure as a number of accounts unwound positions. For example, tax-exempt money funds were forced to exit insured holdings en masse due to minimum ratings and liquidity requirements. To reduce debt, many municipal market investors were pressured to sell longer-maturity bonds when the floating-rate component of their borrowing programs was no longer money-fund eligible (the municipal market had in recent years developed its own form of “carry” trade, in which investors borrow in the short-term money markets and invest in longer maturities, trying to take advantage of the relative steepness of the municipal yield curve in comparison to other fixed-income markets).
Credit spreads (i.e., the differences in yield between higher- and lower-quality debt) were the first to widen as the market anticipated that lower-quality debt would struggle in a slowing economy. Ultimately, however, the insurer debacle cut an even wider swath through the market. Many insured bonds now trade solely based on the creditworthiness of underlying obligors with little or no value attributed to the insurance wrap. Not surprisingly, in this environment natural standalone (i.e., without an insurance wrap) AAA- and AA-rated bonds were generally the best performers for the year.
The municipal yield curve steepened over the past 12 months as yields on shorter maturities fell while longer maturity yields rose slightly. In terms of total return, intermediate maturities generally produced the best returns and longer-maturity bonds were the weakest-performing part of the curve. Although the overall municipal market started to regain its bearings near the end of the fiscal year, high-grade bonds still finished at yields of more than 90% (and in some cases more than 100%) of comparable-maturity Treasuries, which typically indicates that the high-grade bonds represent good value relative to Treasuries.
How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund’s performance?
The fund was fairly diversified across the municipal yield curve with a moderate barbell of maturities in the seven- to 10-year range offset by longer positions in the 20- to 30-year range. The short to intermediate exposure helped to mitigate the impact of a steeper yield curve. Widening credit spread (i.e. the difference in yield between AAA-rated and lower-rated municipal bonds) had a negative impact on some of the fund’s BBB-rated and non-rated positions.
What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?
The fund’s duration, or sensitivity to interest-rate movements, was maintained slightly long relative to the benchmark as municipal yields reached historically high levels relative to comparable-maturity Treasuries. The fund augmented its Puerto Rico exposure: these positions were added at very attractive historical spreads and, therefore, low prices. Puerto Rico bonds are double exempt for Nebraska residents.

Ohio Tax Free Fund
Investment Objective: providing maximum current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and Ohio state income tax to the extent consistent with prudent investment risk
How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008?
The First American Ohio Tax Free Fund (the “fund”), Class Y shares, returned 2.63% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 (Class A shares returned 2.38%, without taking the sales charge into account, for the same period). By comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Lehman Municipal Bond Index*, returned 3.23%. Performance for the fund’s peer group, the Lipper Ohio Municipal Debt Funds Average, was 0.94%.

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund’s performance?
Reflecting the trends in the broader market, the fund’s positions in mid to lower-grade securities underperformed for the fiscal year. The best-performing bonds in the fund from a quality standpoint were generally the natural high-grades (AAA- or AAA-rated bonds) not affected by either the insurer debacle or the general widening of credit spreads in lower-grade bonds. The fund’s relative performance improved markedly over the first half of 2008, when credit spreads – and the performance of lower-rated securities – showed signs of stabilizing as the market focus increasingly shifted toward the insurer debacle.
What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?
After remaining mainly neutral to its benchmark for most of the year, the fund’s duration, or sensitivity to interest-rate movements, has been slightly extended as yields increased to historically high levels relative to comparable-maturity Treasuries. Given the high level of turmoil throughout the fiscal year and the resultant supply pressures, the fund added to weightings in a variety of issuers and revenue bond sectors (comprised of bonds that are backed by the revenue of specific projects) at wider credit spreads – and therefore lower prices – than have been available for a number of years.

Oregon Intermediate Tax Free Fund
Investment Objective: providing current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and Oregon state income tax to the extent consistent with preservation of capital
How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008?
The First American Oregon Intermediate Tax Free Fund (the “fund”), Class Y shares, returned 3.54% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 (Class A shares returned 3.39%, without taking the sales charge into account, for the same period). By comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Lehman 7-Year Municipal Bond Index*, returned 5.60%. Performance for the fund’s peer group, the Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average, was 3.02%.
What were the general municipal market conditions during the fiscal year?
The municipal market endured one of its more tumultuous years ever as fallout from the housing debacle rocked market participants. Deterioration within their relatively new mortgage-backed book of business ultimately led to downgrades for several of the major monoline municipal bond insurers. The impaired credit quality and loss of confidence in many of the insurers affected much of the municipal market (use of insurance had become so pervasive that in recent years close to 50% of all new issuance came to market with an insurance wrap). The market was buffeted by irregular bouts of volatility and selling pressure as a number of accounts unwound positions. For example, tax-exempt money funds were forced to exit insured holdings en masse due to minimum ratings and liquidity requirements.

Credit spreads (i.e., the differences in yield between higher- and lower-quality debt) were the first to widen as the market anticipated that lower-quality debt would struggle in a slowing economy. Ultimately, however, the insurer debacle cut an even wider swath through the market. Many insured bonds now trade solely based on the creditworthiness of underlying obligors with little or no value attributed to the insurance wrap.

How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund’s performance?
Reflecting the trends in the broader market, the fund’s holdings in lower-quality securities had a negative effect on performance. Overall, the fund was underexposed to the lower-grade bonds as Oregon simply does not have the issuance in this sector. The best-performing bonds in the fund from a quality standpoint were generally the natural high-grades (AAA-rated and AA-rated bonds) not affected by either the insurer debacle or the general widening of credit spreads in lower-grade bonds. The fund’s performance improved over the first half of 2008, when credit spreads showed signs of stabilizing as the market focus increasingly shifted toward the insurer debacle.
What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?
Since we anticipate the shape of the municipal yield curve to flatten over time, we focused many purchases in the 10- to 15-plus-year range and reallocated out of shorter maturity ranges while keeping duration, or the fund’s sensitivity to interest-rate movements, consistent by adjusting the fund’s cash reserves. We were able to place some lower-rated bonds into the fund at wider spreads – and therefore lower prices – than have been available for a number of years given the turmoil throughout the year and the resulting supply pressures.

Short Tax Free Fund
Investment Objective: providing current income that is exempt from federal income tax, to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital
How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008?
The First American Short Tax Free Fund (the “fund”), Class Y shares, returned 4.33% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 (Class A shares returned 4.17%, without taking the sales charge into account, for the same period). By comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Lehman 3-Year Municipal Bond Index*, returned 5.58%. Performance for the fund’s peer group, the Lipper Short Municipal Debt Funds Average, was 2.78%.
What were the general municipal market conditions during the fiscal year?
The municipal market endured one of its more tumultuous years ever as fallout from the housing debacle rocked market participants. Deterioration within their relatively new mortgage-backed book of business ultimately led to downgrades for several of the major monoline municipal bond insurers. The impaired credit quality and loss of confidence in many of the insurers affected much of the municipal market (use of insurance had become so pervasive that in recent years close to 50% of all new issuance came to market with an insurance wrap). The market was buffeted by irregular bouts of volatility and selling pressure as a number of accounts unwound positions. For example, tax-exempt money funds were forced to exit insured holdings en masse due to minimum ratings and liquidity requirements. To reduce debt, many municipal market investors were pressured to sell longer-maturity bonds when the floating-rate component of their borrowing programs was no longer money-fund eligible (the municipal market had in recent years developed its own form of “carry” trade, in which investors borrow in the short-term money markets and invest in longer maturities, trying to take advantage of the relative steepness of the municipal yield curve in comparison to other fixed-income markets).
Credit spreads (i.e., the differences in yield between higher- and lower-quality debt) were the first to widen as the market anticipated that lower-quality debt would struggle in a slowing economy. Ultimately, however, the insurer debacle cut an even wider swath through the market. Many insured bonds now trade solely based on the creditworthiness of underlying obligors with little or no value attributed to the insurance wrap. Not surprisingly, in this environment natural standalone (i.e., without an insurance wrap) AAA- and AA-rated bonds were generally the best performers for the year.
The municipal yield curve steepened over the past 12 months as yields on shorter maturities fell while longer maturity yields rose slightly. In terms of total return, intermediate maturities generally produced the best returns and longer-maturity bonds were the weakest-performing part of the curve. Although the overall municipal market started to regain its bearings near the end of the fiscal year, high-grade bonds still finished at yields of more than 90% (and in some cases more than 100%) of comparable-maturity Treasuries, which typically indicates that the high-grade bonds represent good value relative to Treasuries.
How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund’s performance?
Short-term interest rates tend to be the most volatile in response to changes in Federal Reserve (“Fed”) policy, and this past fiscal year was no exception. During this aggressive easing cycle, the fund was well positioned with most of its holdings consisting of one- to five-year maturities. A longer-than-average duration, or sensitivity to interest-rate movements, was also important to the fund’s outperformance relative to its peer group.
What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?
With an eye to the end of the Fed’s campaign of cutting the short-term Fed funds rate, and a potential shift in policy, the fund began to diversify somewhat in terms of yield-curve positioning, or the way it spreads its holdings across various maturities. Several of the fund’s higher-quality bonds in the three- to five-year range have been sold. The fund added short-term variable rate demand notes (which pay an interest rate that changes with the market’s rate) as well as some new investments in the 10- to 12-year area. We expect intermediate maturities to be more stable in the event the Fed begins to increase rates.

Tax Free Fund
Investment Objective: providing maximum current income that is exempt from federal income tax to the extent consistent with the prudent investment risk
How did the fund perform for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008?
The First American Tax Free Fund (the “fund”), Class Y shares, returned 0.04% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 (Class A shares returned -0.05%, without taking the sales charge into account, for the same period). By comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Lehman Municipal Bond Index*, returned 3.23%. Performance for the fund’s peer group, the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds Objective Average, was 0.55%.
What were the general municipal market conditions during the fiscal year?
The municipal market endured one of its more tumultuous years ever as fallout from the housing debacle rocked market participants. Deterioration within their relatively new mortgage-backed book of business ultimately led to downgrades for several of the major monoline municipal bond insurers. The impaired credit quality and loss of confidence in many of the insurers affected much of the municipal market (use of insurance had become so pervasive that in recent years close to 50% of all new issuance came to market with an insurance wrap). The market was buffeted by irregular bouts of volatility and selling pressure as a number of accounts unwound positions. For example, tax-exempt money funds were forced to exit insured holdings en masse due to minimum ratings and liquidity requirements. To reduce debt, many municipal market investors were pressured to sell longer-maturity bonds when the floating-rate component of their borrowing programs was no longer money-fund eligible (the municipal market had in recent years developed its own form of “carry” trade, in which investors borrow in the short-term money markets and invest in longer maturities, trying to take advantage of the relative steepness of the municipal yield curve in comparison to other fixed-income markets).
Credit spreads (i.e., the differences in yield between higher- and lower-quality debt) were the first to widen as the market anticipated that lower-quality debt would struggle in a slowing economy. Ultimately, however, the insurer debacle cut an even wider swath through the market. Many insured bonds now trade solely based on the creditworthiness of underlying obligors with little or no value attributed to the insurance wrap. Not surprisingly, in this environment natural standalone (i.e., without an insurance wrap) AAA- and AA-rated bonds were generally the best performers for the year.
The municipal yield curve steepened over the past 12 months as yields on shorter maturities fell while longer maturity yields rose slightly. In terms of total return, intermediate maturities generally produced the best returns and longer-maturity bonds were the weakest-performing part of the curve. Although the overall municipal market started to regain its bearings near the end of the fiscal year, high-grade bonds still finished at yields of more than 90% (and in some cases more than 100%) of comparable-maturity Treasuries, which typically indicates that the high-grade bonds represent good value relative to Treasuries.
How did market conditions and investment strategies affect the fund’s performance?
The first half of the funds’ year was a difficult one as lower-quality positions that had benefited performance in previous periods generally had negative impacts, dragging down the fund’s performance for the entire year. A steepening municipal yield curve and widening credit spreads (differences in yields between AAA-rated and lower-rated bonds) caused the fund’s positions in longer maturities, BBB-rated and nonrated bonds and selected healthcare and utility issues to drag down performance relative to its peer group. Relatively smaller positions in short to intermediate maturities and higher-quality general obligations (bonds backed directly by the taxing authority of the municipality) and prerefunded bonds (bonds called by municipalities and backed by treasuries) performed well but were insufficient to offset the negatives noted above.
What strategic moves were made by the fund and why?
As the yield curve steepened, the fund reduced positions in better-performing two- to four-year maturities and made selective reductions in the 20-year area. We added to the eight- to 19-year and 25- to 30-year ranges, where yields represented better relative value. In addition, the fund increased its duration, or sensitivity to interest-rate movements, over the period as municipal yields moved to historically high levels relative to comparable-maturity Treasuries. The fund also reduced better-performing AAA-rated positions and added to BBB-rated holdings as credit spreads reached historically wide levels. Attractive spreads also led us to reduce higher-quality prerefunded bonds and general obligation bonds (bonds backed directly by the taxing authority of the municipality) and add positions in the electric utility sector.

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. 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 January 1, 2008, to June 30, 2008.
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” 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 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 and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table 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.

First American Investment Funds, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments of the Arizona Tax Free, California Intermediate Tax Free, California Tax Free, Colorado Intermediate Tax Free, Colorado Tax Free, Intermediate Tax Free, Minnesota Intermediate Tax Free, Minnesota Tax Free, Missouri Tax Free, Nebraska Tax Free, Ohio Tax Free, Oregon Intermediate Tax Free, Short Tax Free, and Tax Free Funds (each a series of First American Investment Funds, Inc.)

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designating audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included verification by examination of securities held by the custodian as of June 30, 2008 and confirmation of the securities held by correspondence with brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights as referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the funds listed above of First American Investment Funds, Inc. at June 30, 2008, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and their financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

All classes of shares in 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.
2 > | 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. 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. Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity will 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.
The following investment vehicles, when held by a fund, are priced as follows: Exchange listed futures and options on futures are priced at their last sale price on the exchange on which they are principally traded, as determined by FAF Advisors, Inc. (“FAF Advisors”), on the day the valuation is made. If there were no sales on that day, futures and options on futures will be valued at the last reported bid price. Options on securities, indices, and currencies traded on Nasdaq or listed on a stock exchange, whether domestic or foreign, are valued at the last sale price on Nasdaq or on any exchange on the day the valuation is made. If there were no sales on that day, the options will be valued at the last sale price on the previous valuation date. Last sale prices are obtained from an independent pricing service. Forward contracts (other than foreign currency forward contracts), swaps, and over-the-counter options on securities, indices, and currencies are valued at the quotations received from an independent pricing service, if available. Foreign currency forward contracts are valued at the current day’s interpolated foreign exchange rate, as calculated using the current day’s exchange rate, and the 30-, 60-, 90-, 180-, and 360-day forward rates provided by an independent pricing service.
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; security’s

Table of Contents
previous price and/or 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 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. The use of fair value pricing by a fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from net asset value that would be calculated without regard to such considerations. At June 30, 2008, the funds held no fair-valued securities.
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. Security gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. The resulting gain/loss is calculated as the difference between the sales price and the underlying cost of the security on the transaction date.
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 the net asset value on the last business day of each month. 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 or excise taxes is required.
FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“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. As of June 30, 2008, the funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Generally, tax authorities can examine all the tax returns filed for the last three years.
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 book and tax differences for straddle loss deferrals, classification of dividends paid by the funds, and tax mark-to-market adjustments for certain derivatives in accordance with IRC Section 1256. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made to the appropriate capital accounts in the fiscal period that the differences arise.
On the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, the following reclassifications were made:
Accumulated | Undistributed | |||||||
Net Realized | Net Investment | |||||||
Fund | Gain | Income | ||||||
Ohio Tax Free Fund | $ | 8 | $ | (8 | ) | |||
The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their 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 June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 (adjusted by dividends payable as of June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007) were as follows:

FUTURES TRANSACTIONS – In order to protect against changes in the market and to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet redemption requests, each fund may enter into 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 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. At June 30, 2008, Arizona Tax Free Fund, Ohio Tax Free Fund, Oregon Intermediate Tax Free Fund, and Short Tax Free Fund had outstanding futures 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 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 a fund’s net asset value if the fund makes such purchases while remaining substantially fully invested. At June 30, 2008, the following funds had outstanding commitments to purchase securities on a when-issued or forward-commitment basis:
Fund | Cost | |||
Intermediate Tax Free Fund | $ | 6,742 | ||
Minnesota Intermediate Tax Free Fund | 1,340 | |||
Missouri Tax Free Fund | 1,339 | |||
Nebraska Tax Free Fund | 986 | |||
Ohio Tax Free Fund | 1,455 | |||
Tax Free Fund | 3,403 | |||
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 June 30, 2008, no fund had investments in illiquid securities.
INVERSE FLOATERS – As part of their investment strategy, the funds may invest in certain securities for which the potential income return is inversely related to changes in a floating interest rate (“inverse floaters”). In general, income on inverse floaters will decrease when short-term interest rates increase and increase when short-term interest rates decrease. Inverse floaters may be characterized as derivative securities and may subject a fund to the risks of reduced or eliminated interest payments and losses of invested principal. In addition, inverse floaters have the effect of providing investment leverage and, as a result, the market values of such securities will generally be more volatile than those of fixed-rate, tax-exempt securities. To the extent the funds invest in inverse floaters, the net asset value of the funds’ shares may be more volatile than if the funds did not invest in such securities. As of and for the year ended June 30, 2008, no fund had investments in inverse floaters.
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 Securities and Exchange Commission, the funds, along with other registered investment companies in the First American Family of Funds, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds.

Notes toFinancial Statements June 30, 2008, all dollars and shares are rounded to thousands (000)
The funds did not have any interfund lending transactions during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.
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 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.

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 equal, on an annual basis, to 0.50% of the fund’s average daily net assets. FAF Advisors has agreed to waive fees and reimburse other fund expenses at least through June 30, 2009, so that total fund operating expenses, as a percentage of average daily net assets, do not exceed the following amounts:

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. This reimbursement is included in “Fee waivers” in the Statement of Operations.
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, 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.
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.
CUSTODIAN FEES – U.S. Bank serves as the custodian for each fund 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 custodian” in the Statements of Operations. Conversely, the custodian charges a fee for any cash overdrafts incurred, which increases the fund’s custodian expenses.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, custodian fees were increased as a result of overdrafts and decreased as a result of interest earned as follows:
Fund | Increased | Decreased | ||||||

DISTRIBUTION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEES – Quasar Distributors, LLC (“Quasar”), a subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp, serves as the 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 of the funds pays Quasar a monthly distribution and/or shareholder servicing fee equal to an annual rate of 0.25% and 0.65% of each fund’s average daily net assets of Class A and Class C shares, respectively. No distribution or shareholder servicing fees are paid by Class Y shares. These fees may be used by Quasar to provide compensation for sales support, distribution activities, and/or shareholder servicing activities.
Quasar is currently waiving a portion of its 12b-1 fees for Class A shares, limiting its fees to 0.15% of average daily net assets for California Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Colorado Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Minnesota Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Oregon Intermediate Tax Free Fund, and Short Tax Free Fund. Effective September 1, 2007, FAF Advisors is waiving an additional amount of Class A 12b-1 fees equal to 0.15%, 0.10%, 0.10%, 0.10%, 0.10%, and 0.20% of average daily net assets of Class A shares for California Intermediate Tax Free Fund, California Tax Free Fund, Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Minnesota Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Minnesota Tax Free Fund, and Tax Free Fund, respectively.

Arizona Tax Free Fund, California Intermediate Tax Free Fund, California Tax Free Fund, Colorado Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Colorado Tax Free Fund, Minnesota Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Minnesota Tax Free Fund, Missouri Tax Free Fund, Nebraska Tax Free Fund, Ohio Tax Free Fund, and Oregon Intermediate Tax Free Fund invest in debt instruments of municipal issuers in specific states. Although these funds monitor investment concentration, the issuers’ ability to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in the specific state or region. Additionally, each state has various guidelines relating to the tax treatment of the income distributed from each fund.
7 > | 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.
8 > | New Accounting Pronouncements |
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional 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 June 30, 2008, the funds do not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will materially 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.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Funds are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why the fund uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the fund’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. FAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The funds do not expect FAS 161 to have a material impact on their financial statements; however, additional disclosures will be required.

APPROVAL OF THE FUNDS’ INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Board of Directors of the Funds (the “Board”), which is comprised entirely of independent directors, oversees the management of each Fund and, as required by law, determines annually whether to renew the Funds’ advisory agreement with FAF Advisors, Inc. (“FAF Advisors”).
At a meeting on May 5-7, 2008, the Board considered information relating to the Funds’ investment advisory agreement with FAF Advisors (the “Agreement”). In advance of the meeting, the Board received materials relating to the Agreement, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with their consideration. At a subsequent meeting on June 17-19, 2008, the Board concluded its consideration of and approved the Agreement through June 30, 2009.
Although the Agreement, which is with First American Investment Funds, Inc., relates to all of the Funds, the Board separately considered and approved the Agreement with respect to each Fund. In considering the Agreement, the Board, advised by independent legal counsel, reviewed and analyzed the factors it deemed relevant, including: (1) the nature, quality and extent of FAF Advisors’ services to each Fund, (2) the investment performance of the Funds, (3) the profitability of FAF Advisors related to the Funds, including an analysis of FAF Advisors’ cost of providing services and comparative expense information, (4) whether economies of scale may be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels are adjusted to enable Fund investors to share in these potential economies of scale, and (5) other benefits that accrue to FAF Advisors through its relationship with the Funds. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any single factor which alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve the Agreement with respect to any Fund.

Table of Contents
Before approving the Agreement, the independent directors met in executive session with their independent counsel on numerous occasions to consider the materials provided by FAF Advisors and the terms of the Agreement. Based on its evaluation of those materials, the Board concluded that the Agreement is fair and in the best interests of the shareholders of each Fund. In reaching its conclusions, the Board considered the following:
Nature, Quality, and Extent of Investment Advisory Services
The Board examined the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by FAF Advisors to each Fund. The Board reviewed FAF Advisors’ key personnel who provide investment management services to each Fund as well as the fact that, under the Agreement, FAF Advisors has the authority and responsibility to make and execute investment decisions for each Fund within the framework of that Fund’s investment policies and restrictions, subject to review by the Board. The Board further considered that FAF Advisors’ duties with respect to each Fund include: (i) investment research and security selection, (ii) adherence to (and monitoring compliance with) the Fund’s investment policies and restrictions and the Investment Company Act of 1940, and (iii) monitoring the performance of the various organizations providing services to the Funds, including the Funds’ distributor, sub-administrator, transfer agent and custodian. Finally, the Board considered FAF Advisors’ representation that the services provided by FAF Advisors under the Agreement are the types of services customarily provided by investment advisors in the fund industry. The Board also considered compliance reports about FAF Advisors from the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer.
Based on the foregoing, the Board concluded that each Fund is likely to benefit from the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by FAF Advisors under the Agreement.
Investment Performance of the Funds
The Board considered the performance of each Fund, including comparative information provided by an independent data service regarding the median performance of a group of comparable funds selected by that data service (the “performance universe”) and how each Fund performed versus its benchmark index. The performance periods reviewed by the Board all ended on January 31, 2008. In the case of each state-specific Fund, the Board considered that the Fund’s benchmark index is a national municipal index, rather than a state-specific index, and noted FAF Advisors’ assertion that the Board should, therefore, treat the Fund’s performance universe as a more meaningful source of comparative performance data.
The Board also considered that, in reviewing the comparative performance of the Funds, the different expense levels of a Fund’s share classes can result in different net performance results for each of those classes. Thus, while the Board considered the performance of all classes, it focused on Class Y shares, which, because they have the lowest total expense ratios, offered the most meaningful data on performance. For this reason, the discussion below related to the performance of Class Y Shares.
Arizona Tax Free Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed the performance universe median for the three- and five-year periods, though it underperformed the performance universe median for the one-year period. The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund’s competitive performance over longer periods, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.
California Intermediate Tax Free Fund, California Tax Free Fund, Colorado Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Colorado Tax Free Fund, Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Missouri Tax Free Fund, Nebraska Tax Free Fund, Ohio Tax Free Fund, Oregon Intermediate Tax Free Fund and Short Tax Free Fund. For each of these Funds, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed or performed competitively against the performance universe median for the one-, three-, five- and, if applicable, ten-year periods. The Board concluded that, in light of each Fund’s competitive performance, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.
Minnesota Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Minnesota Tax Free Fund and Tax Free Fund. For each of these Funds, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed the performance universe median for the three-, five-, and ten-year periods, although it underperformed the performance universe median for the one-year period. The Board concluded that, in light of each Fund’s competitive long-term performance, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.
Costs of Services and Profits Realized by FAF Advisors
The Board examined FAF Advisors’ costs in serving as the Funds’ investment manager, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage each Fund. The Board also considered the profitability of FAF Advisors and its affiliates resulting from their relationship with each Fund. For each Fund, the Board examined fee and expense information as compared to that of other funds and accounts managed by FAF Advisors and of comparable funds managed by other advisers. The Board found that while the management fees for FAF Advisors’ institutional separate accounts are lower than the Funds’ management fees, the Funds receive additional services from FAF Advisors that separate accounts do not receive.

Using information provided by an independent data service, the Board also evaluated each Fund’s advisory fee compared to the median advisory fee for other mutual funds similar in size, character and investment strategy, and each Fund’s total expense ratio after waivers compared to the median total expense ratio of comparable funds. In connection with its review of Fund fees and expenses, the Board considered FAF Advisors’ pricing philosophy. FAF Advisors attempts generally to maintain each Fund’s total operating expenses at a level that approximates the median of a peer group of funds selected by an independent data service. In addition, FAF Advisors has committed to waive its investment advisory fees to the extent necessary to maintain the Funds’ total expense ratios at levels generally in line with their respective peer groups.
Further detail considered by the Board regarding the advisory fees and total expense ratios of each Fund is set forth below:
Arizona Tax Free Fund, California Intermediate Tax Free Fund, California Tax Free Fund, Colorado Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Colorado Tax Free Fund, Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Minnesota Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Minnesota Tax Free Fund, Nebraska Tax Free Fund, Ohio Tax Free Fund, Short Tax Free Fund and Tax Free Fund. For each of these Funds, the advisory fee and total expense ratio, after waivers, were less than or equal to the peer group median. The Board concluded that each Fund’s advisory fee and total expense ratio are reasonable in light of the services provided.
Missouri Tax Free Fund and Oregon Intermediate Tax Free Fund. The Board considered that each Fund’s advisory fee, after waivers, was lower than the peer group median. Though each Fund’s total expense ratio was higher than the peer group median, the Board noted that it was within a range consistent with FAF Advisors’ pricing philosophy. The Board concluded that each Fund’s advisory fee and total expense ratio are reasonable in light of the services provided.
Economies of Scale in Providing Investment Advisory Services
The Board considered whether each Fund’s investment advisory fee reflects the potential for economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. Based on information provided by FAF Advisors, the Board noted that profitability will likely increase somewhat as assets grow over time. The Board considered that, although the Funds do not have advisory fee breakpoints in place, FAF Advisors has committed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary to keep each Fund’s total expenses generally in line with the median total expenses of a peer group of funds as selected by an independent data service. The Board considered FAF Advisors’ assertion that the median total expense ratio of a Fund’s peer group should reflect the effect of any breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules of the funds in that group and any economies of scale which those funds realize. Therefore, by capping a Fund’s total expense ratio at a level close to the median, Fund shareholders will effectively receive the benefit of any breakpoints in the comparable funds’ advisory fee schedules and any such economies of scale. In light of FAF Advisors’ commitment to keep total Fund expenses competitive, the Board concluded that it would be reasonable and in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreement.
Other Benefits to FAF Advisors
In evaluating the benefits that accrue to FAF Advisors through its relationship with the Funds, the Board noted that FAF Advisors and certain of its affiliates serve the Funds in various capacities, including as advisor, administrator, sub-administrator, transfer agent, distributor, custodian and securities lending agent, and receive compensation from the Funds in connection with providing services to the Fund. The Board considered that each service provided to the Funds by FAF Advisors or one of its affiliates is pursuant to a written agreement, which the Board evaluates periodically as required by law.
After full consideration of these factors, the Board concluded that approval of each Agreement was in the interest of the respective Fund and its shareholders.
