                             MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS
                               September 30, 1997

Dear Shareholder:

   On behalf of the Board of Directors of First American Funds and First
American Investment Funds I am pleased to report to you that the past year was
another year of solid investment performance and tremendous asset growth. As of
September 30, 1997, total assets had surpassed $16.8 billion, up from $9.8
billion one year ago.

   The past year produced exciting and, at times, breathtaking rides in the
stock and bond markets. The market fluctuations of the past year reinforce two
vital investment principles: investors should take a long-term approach to
investing; and a balanced portfolio of stock, fixed income and money market
funds tailored to your risk tolerance and investment objectives can help to
reduce the volatility.

   In August, three new First American Funds were introduced. The OREGON
INTERMEDIATE TAX FREE and CALIFORNIA INTERMEDIATE TAX FREE FUNDS extend the tax
free fund offerings to five funds. The introduction of the MICRO CAP VALUE FUND
expanded our equity offerings to 14 funds. In November, we will introduce the
SMALL CAP VALUE, INTERNATIONAL INDEX and TAX FREE OBLIGATIONS FUNDS.

   In this report you will learn about the year's economic and investment
environment and how it affected Fund results. I would urge you to read the
report closely.

   The Board of Directors thanks you for your continued support and confidence
in First American Funds. We are confident that the Funds' tradition of
conservative management, competitive results and innovative products will
continue to serve you well.

Sincerely,

/s/ Virginia L. Stringer

                         ECONOMIC AND INVESTMENT REVIEW
                               September 30, 1997

   The close of the First American Funds' fiscal year marked a very successful
period for investors. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, the S&P 500
Composite Index produced a 40.43% total return. The Index produced 29.89% and
20.75% average annual returns for the trailing three- and five-year periods,
respectively. International equity ownership provided more modest total returns
of 12.19% for the fiscal year and 8.84% and 12.34% annualized for the three- and
five-year periods as measured by the Morgan Stanley MSCI EAFE Index. Returns
from the fixed income markets, measured by the Lehman Government/Corporate Bond
Index, were 9.59% for the fiscal year and 9.41% and 6.95% for the three- and
five-year periods. The yield on 30- year Treasury bonds fell from 7.82% at the
end of September 1994 and 7.40% in September 1992 to 6.40% at the close of the
fiscal year.

   One need not look far to discover the confluence of favorable factors that
has supported the positive investment environment. Healthy domestic economic
growth, combined with declining inflation expectations, and an aging
population's heightened focus on investing for financial security have produced
an ideal setting for the stock and bond markets. Confident consumers have
benefited from a high level of job availability, higher real incomes, and growth
in their net worth as the securities markets advanced. Aggressive capital
spending strengthened the United States' international competitive position,
while the promise of a balanced federal budget built the confidence of our
overseas creditors.

   Moderation in everything is often mentioned as a prescription for long life
for investors - so too for market advances. Clearly, economic growth at a
moderate pace that does not encourage inflation has been the source of today's
accommodative monetary policy. Knowing the importance of monetary policy to the
stock and bond markets, what is the maximum non-inflationary rate of growth for
the domestic economy? A number of well supported opinions are heard, but it
would seem that growth closer to 3.0% real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) than
2.0% is possible. As the largest participant in the global economy, the United
States has benefited greatly from excess global productive capacity, competitive
pricing, and a strong dollar that has increased domestic purchasing power.
Substantial rationalization of business structures, heavy investment in
productivity enhancing technology, and restrained wage demands in favor of job
security are contributing to a potential for greater economic growth without
touching off inflation.

   The current expansion, now over six years old, has certainly not progressed
in a straight line, but it has possessed the capacity to correct imbalances with
a series of small inventory adjustments and interest rate fluctuations,
resulting from cautious shifts in monetary policy or changes in bond market
psychology. No condition is present that points to an end to the economic
expansion, although its sheer age suggests a slower pace of growth. Terminal
scenarios circulating today range from inflationary boom to deflationary bust,
but we expect a period of moderate growth, averaging slightly less than 3.0%
real GDP in coming quarters.

   Although inflation should be contained below 3.0%, our concern rests with a
visible shortage of skilled workers that threatens to drive labor costs beyond
that which can be offset by efficiencies. Signs of employment cost pressure
could promote tighter monetary policy and an eventual slowing of economic
growth. Monetary restraint would be a strong negative for the securities
markets. Knowing that equity ownership has expanded greatly as a portion of
household net worth in the past decade, we are concerned that a correction of
today's fully priced stock market could adversely influence consumption,
corporate profits, and capital investment, in turn.

   The current bond market can best be described as trapped between the fear of
excess growth with the risk of higher inflation and a sense that the expansion
could progress at a pace that permits continued moderate inflation and possibly
lower bond yields. With a forecast of moderate economic growth and some wariness
regarding the continuation of very low price inflation, our bond portfolio
policy is essentially neutral. Signs of an acceleration in inflation would cause
us to shorten portfolio duration quickly.

   The strong, globally competitive position of the U.S. economy, the opening of

secular advance in equities is not over. The potential for correction exists,
however. The valuation of the general market is at a very high level, apparently

interest rates are confined to a fairly narrow range and expecting far more
difficult profit comparisons in coming quarters, we have placed additional
emphasis on valuation in our disciplined approach to stock selection. In our
portfolio strategy we have balanced exposure to opportunity with a keen
appreciation of the volatility of the current market.

                                    NEW FUNDS

   In August we introduced three new funds to the First American Funds family.
THE OREGON INTERMEDIATE TAX FREE and CALIFORNIA INTERMEDIATE TAX FREE FUNDS are
our newest additions to the First American line-up of intermediate tax free
funds. THE MICRO CAP VALUE FUND adds a new component to our value funds line-up.

   Both the OREGON and CALIFORNIA INTERMEDIATE TAX FREE FUNDS have an objective
of providing current income that is free from federal and appropriate state
income taxes to the extent consistent with preservation of capital. Intermediate
municipal bonds provide an excellent source for generating tax-free income with
lower volatility than long-term municipal bonds.

   The MICRO CAP VALUE FUND has an objective of capital appreciation. The Fund
will invest the majority of its assets in companies with market capitalizations
below $500 million. With the addition of this Fund, First American Funds now
offer value equity management across micro, small, mid and large capitalization
funds.

                               MONEY MARKET FUNDS

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES: TO PROVIDE MAXIMUM CURRENT INCOME WHILE PRESERVING
CAPITAL AND MAINTAINING LIQUIDITY.

   First American Funds offers three money market funds: Treasury Obligations,
Government Obligations and Prime Obligations. The aggregate net assets of these
Funds have grown from $6.3 billion one year ago to $9 billion.

   The TREASURY OBLIGATIONS FUND invests in U.S. Treasury obligations and
repurchase agreements related to such securities. As of fiscal year-end, the
Fund has outperformed its average peer for 11 consecutive quarters.* Fund assets
grew from $1.9 billion to $3.7 billion during the year. For the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1997, the Institutional Class C shares seven day effective
yield was 5.32% and the average weighted maturity was 37 days. This Fund is
rated Triple-A by both Moody's and Standard & Poor's.

   The GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS FUND invests in short-term debt obligations issued
or backed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and repurchase agreements
related to such securities. As of fiscal year-end, the Fund has performed in the
top quartile of its universe for 19 consecutive quarters.* Fund assets grew from
$1 billion to $1.3 billion during the year. For the fiscal year ended September
30, 1997, the Institutional Class C seven day effective yield was 5.34% and the
average weighted maturity was 42 days.

   The PRIME OBLIGATIONS FUND invests in short-term debt obligations issued or
backed by the U.S. Government or its agencies, and corporate obligations
including high grade commercial paper, corporate debt, loan participation
interests and repurchase agreements. As of fiscal year-end, the Fund has
performed in the top quartile of its universe for 19 consecutive quarters.* Fund
assets grew from $3.4 billion to $3.9 billion during the year. For the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1997, the Institutional Class C seven day effective
yield was 5.48% and the average weighted maturity was 40 days.

                              TAX FREE INCOME FUNDS

   The First American Tax Free Funds are designed to provide a balance of high
levels of tax-exempt income, relative price stability and long-term total return
potential. We attempt to accomplish these goals by maintaining intermediate-term
average maturities, which capture much of the yield of long-term bonds with less
volatility, and by investing in a diversified mix of investment grade
securities.

   Our Tax Free Funds were somewhat defensively positioned during the past year
with average maturities short of our benchmark. This strategy reflected our view
that the U.S. economy would remain stronger in 1997 than was widely expected,
and that was the case. The surprise was the benign behavior of inflation in
spite of healthy employment levels that would normally be expected to translate
into rising wages and, eventually, into higher prices for goods and services. So
far that pattern has not developed, in part because of global competition and
the effects of a rising dollar, and in part because of high levels of domestic
productivity. The bond market has responded positively to this environment, and
interest rates could drift even lower if prices continue to be restrained. On
the other hand, market reaction would be very adverse if there were any signs of
resurgent inflation.

   For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, the COLORADO INTERMEDIATE TAX
FREE FUND produced a total return of 7.11%, the MINNESOTA INSURED INTERMEDIATE
TAX FREE FUND a total return of 6.72% and the INTERMEDIATE TAX FREE FUND a total
return of 6.84%. The Lehman 7 Year G.O. Bond Index produced a return of 8.08%
during the same period. The First American Tax Free Funds have produced very
good risk-adjusted returns, and each Fund has an overall and three-year
four-star rating from Morningstar for the period ended September 30, 1997.

   As is customarily the case, the credit quality of the Tax Free Funds remains
quite high. We avoid securities such as leveraged derivatives or other exotic
instruments that could adversely affect Fund returns.

                               FIXED INCOME FUNDS

   First American Fixed Income Funds are designed to produce a high quality
stream of income with varying degrees of price volatility to match investor
needs and risk preferences. The LIMITED TERM INCOME FUND holds securities with
maturities of three years or less, and restricts the average portfolio maturity
to two years or less. The Fund holds some government securities, but emphasizes
high quality asset-backed, mortgage-backed and corporate securities for extra
income. The INTERMEDIATE TERM INCOME FUND invests in the same mix of securities,
but its average maturity is limited to seven years or less. The INTERMEDIATE
GOVERNMENT BOND FUND also restricts its average maturity to seven years or less,
and in addition invests only in U.S. Treasury or government agency securities
exempt from state income taxes. THE FIRST AMERICAN FIXED INCOME FUND invests in
securities from one to 30 years, and is designed to replicate the bond market as
a whole. The Fund invests in a mix of government, investment grade corporate and
mortgage-backed securities.

   Our Funds have been somewhat defensively positioned since early in the year,
and that had a dampening effect on returns during the second and third quarters
when interest rates declined and bond prices rose. This strategy reflected our
view that the U.S. economy would remain stronger in 1997 than was widely
expected, and that was the case. The surprise was the benign behavior of
inflation in spite of a healthy economy and tight labor market conditions. At
this stage of the business cycle sustained high employment levels would normally
be expected to translate into rising wages and, eventually into higher prices
for goods and services. So far that pattern has not developed, in part because
of global competition and the effects of a rising dollar, and in part because of
high levels of domestic productivity. The bond market has responded positively
to this environment, and interest rates could drift even lower if prices
continue to be restrained. On the other hand, market reaction would be very
adverse if there were any signs of resurgent inflation.

   Yield spreads continue to be very narrow, and there is not a great deal of
yield advantage to be gained from lower quality securities.

   The LIMITED TERM INCOME FUND currently consists of a mix of Treasuries,
mortgage-and asset-backed securities, and investment grade corporate notes, with
the emphasis on non-government instruments. Although yields are narrower than
they have been for a number of years, some advantage to Treasuries remains in
good instruments. The Fund's strategy continues to be to capture that
incremental return, rather than make major bets on the direction of short-term
interest rates.

   The FIXED INCOME and INTERMEDIATE TERM INCOME FUNDS have added several very
high quality, well-structured mortgage securities in the short-to-middle portion
of the yield curve in order to add some incremental yield to the portfolios
without taking excessive risk. Even if spreads widen in general, the spreads on
these issues should widen less than on lower quality or longer maturity issues.

   The overall credit quality of all the First American Fixed Income Funds
remains quite high and, in keeping with our philosophy of constraining portfolio
risk, none of the Funds own any leveraged derivatives or other high risk
investments that could adversely affect the Funds' returns during less favorable
market conditions.

   For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, the LIMITED TERM INCOME FUND
had a return of 6.09%, compared to a return of 6.21% for the Merrill Lynch 1
year Treasury Bill Index. The INTERMEDIATE TERM INCOME FUND had a return of
7.19%, compared with the Lehman Intermediate Government/ Corporate Bond Index
return of 8.20%. The INTERMEDIATE GOVERNMENT BOND FUND had a return of 7.06%,
compared with the Lehman Intermediate Government Bond Index return of 7.83%. The
FIXED INCOME FUND had a return of 8.26%, compared with the Lehman Government/
Corporate Bond Index return of 9.59%.

                              ASSET ALLOCATION FUND

   INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: TO PROVIDE MAXIMUM TOTAL RETURN OVER THE LONG TERM.

   For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, the Fund produced a total
return of 19.39%, compared with the S&P 500 Composite Index return of 40.43% and
the Lehman Government/Corporate Index return of 9.59%.

   These results are consistent with the Fund's objective of providing a
long-term total return higher than the bond market, and with lower volatility
than the equity market. We use a proprietary quantitative model to allocate the
investments in this Fund among three asset classes: common stocks included in
the S&P 500 Composite Index, direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury and
short-term cash instruments.

   Based on the performance history of these asset classes,

                               September 30, 1997

the model forecasts future performance trends. We then vary investments in the
Fund to be more heavily weighted in the asset classes showing the most favorable
return outlook.

   We began the year with the greatest allocation in equities. The Fund held 48%
equities, 23% bonds and 29% cash. Throughout the fiscal year, the equity
allocation in the Fund varied from 31% to 50%. The bond allocation ranged from
17% to 31%. The cash allocation fluctuated from 29% to 51%. At year-end, the
Fund held 35% equities, 21% bonds and 44% cash.

   In September, we notified Asset Allocation Fund shareholders that, pending
shareholder approval at the Oct. 31, 1997 shareholder meeting, this Fund will be
merged with the First American Balanced Fund. We are doing this for several
reasons. The investment objective for both Funds is similar, and by merging
these two Funds we will create efficiencies in fund management and economies of
scale for the combined funds. Additionally, the investment returns for the
Balanced Fund have exceeded the returns of the Asset Allocation Fund since
inception in 1992.

                                  BALANCED FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: TO PROVIDE MAXIMUM TOTAL RETURN.

   For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, the Balanced Fund produced a
total return of 25.80% as compared to a Balanced Composite Index of 28.09% and
24.03% for the Lipper Balanced Fund Average. On a three-year basis, the Balanced
Fund has produced a total return of 20.59% as compared to the Balanced Composite
Index of 21.69% and the return of 18.53% for the Lipper Balanced Funds Average.

   The Balanced Fund has maintained an excellent risk/return profile and, as of
September 30, 1997, had an overall and three-year four-star Morningstar rating
and a 5 (out of 5) category rating. Category ratings are based upon comparisons
to similar funds. The Fund has a balanced mix of equity and fixed income
securities with a long-term target of 60% equity securities and 40% fixed income
securities. We believe this mix will allow the Fund to provide the necessary
diversification in face of the sometimes turbulent financial markets. With the
stock market at record highs, we believe that more than ever before it is
important to maintain an investment portfolio that is diversified between stocks
and bonds. This strategy has proved to be successful because the Fund is in the
upper 30% of balanced funds for the three-year period ended September 30, 1997,
as reported by Lipper Analytical Services.

   The equity portion of the Balanced Fund is managed identically to the First

                             GROWTH AND INCOME FUNDS

                           REAL ESTATE SECURITIES FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: TO PROVIDE ABOVE AVERAGE CURRENT INCOME AND LONG-TERM
CAPITAL APPRECIATION.

   For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, the Fund produced a total
return of 36.77%, compared with 40.88%for the Morgan Stanley REIT Index.

   This Fund invests in income-producing equity securities of companies mainly
engaged in the real estate industry. We invest the majority of the Fund's total
assets in equity Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). During the year, market
conditions improved significantly for most segments of the U.S. commercial real
estate sector, and we believe the fundamentals remain positive. The trend toward
securitization of U.S. commercial real estate continues, with the total market
capitalization of equity REITs approximately doubling from a year ago to over
$115 billion. Consolidation of the sector appears to be accelerating with
several mergers between publicly traded real estate companies completed or
announced during the year.

   In many areas of the country, the real estate supply and demand environment
has tightened so that new development is increasingly attractive. Development
activity, however, continues to be disciplined by better market information
availability, increased scrutiny from the public equity market and the Wall
Street investment community and continued, relatively strict lending criteria
among the traditional sources of capital.

   The apartment sector has been the furthest along in its recovery, while the
office sector's recovery has accelerated significantly over the past 12 months,
with declining vacancy rates and increasing rents. The Southern California
market, particularly the Los Angeles metro area and the New York City greater
metropolitan area, appear to be the laggards in the recovery but are also
improving.

   The Fund benefited during the year from its overweighted position in the
full-service hotel sector because room occupancy rates and daily rental rates
continued to improve. Starwood Lodging and Patriot American, two of the Fund's
larger holdings, provided particularly strong gains. Office and Industrial
companies Cali Realty, Bedford Properties and Crescent Real Estate were also
standout performers. Equity Residential, one of the Fund's apartment holdings,
was among the strongest performers. The company's management has continued its
aggressive acquisition strategy. It has completed one major acquisition of
another public company, Wellsford Residential, and it has announced a proposed
merger with Evans Withycombe, which is another of the Fund's holdings.

   The Fund remains well diversified, with significant holdings in the retail,
healthcare and self-storage sectors, in order to capture the better than average
current yields provided. However, total returns produced in these sectors
generally lagged the other real estate sectors for the period.

Excel Realty and JDN Realty, two of the Fund's retail holdings, were exceptional
performers relative to the rest of the sector.

   The Fund strategy also continues to emphasize the geographic areas and
segments of the market with strong long-term fundamentals and companies with
superior management, business plans and execution.

                              EQUITY INCOME FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: TO PROVIDE LONG-TERM GROWTH OF CAPITAL AND INCOME.

   For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, the Fund produced a total
return of 31.16%, compared with 31.18% for the Equity Income Composite Index.
Historically, yield-oriented stocks underperform the broad market during strong
markets and outperform the broad market during weak markets. The conservative
investment strategy we have employed for this Fund has resulted in excellent
risk-adjusted returns for Fund shareholders. As of September 30, 1997, the Fund
had an overall and three-year four-star rating from Morningstar and a category
rating of 5 (out of 5). Category ratings are based upon comparisons to similar
funds.

   The continued strength of the U.S. economy and corporate profits have
resulted in several of the Fund's holdings performing well. The solid
performance of Ford Motor reflected its strong product line and
better-than-expected profits. Other economically sensitive holdings that
performed well included DuPont, General Electric and Great Northern Iron Ore.

   The generally favorable interest rate environment continued to provide a
supportive backdrop for the interest-rate sensitive financial sector. Several of
the Fund's financial holdings were strong performers during the year. Bank of
New York, IPC Holdings and American Express were among the best performers in
the Fund. American Express has made measurable progress in re-energizing some of
its core divisions--including its credit card business, which is experiencing a
turnaround in market share.

   The Real Estate Investment Trust sector continues to offer some of the
highest current yields available in the equity market. The economic fundamentals
of United States commercial real estate markets continue to improve with
generally rising occupancy rates and rents. The Fund continues to maintain
significant holdings in the sector. Crescent Real Estate, a diversified real
estate company, was one of the Fund's top performers for the period.

                                   STOCK FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: TO PROVIDE LONG-TERM GROWTH OF CAPITAL WITH A SECONDARY
GOAL OF CURRENT INCOME.

   For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, the Fund produced a total
return of 38.82%, compared with the S&P 500 Composite Index return of 40.43%.
The Fund's five-year annualized return is 22.01%, compared with the S&P 500
Composite Index return of 20.75%.

   The Stock Fund is a value oriented Fund that seeks to achieve a favorable
balance between appreciation potential and risk. The Fund invests in large
capitalization stocks with market values in excess of $500 million that are
fundamentally sound and at attractive valuations.

   We seek to limit risk by holding 50 to 60 securities. Risk is further reduced
by a disciplined investment process that identifies companies with sound
fundamentals and attractive valuations that also possess a catalyst for change,
such as restructuring or new management. Individual security positions are
generally built slowly over time and carefully managed in order to avoid
excessive concentrations in any individual sector or industry. We employ a
management team composed of seven professionals averaging 21 years of
experience. The team provides a peer review process that ensures the consistent
application of purchase and sale disciplines. The disciplined value based
investment approach has resulted in excellent risk adjusted returns. As of
September 30, 1997, the Fund had an overall and three-year five-star rating from
Morningstar and a 5 (out of 5) category rating. Category ratings are based upon
comparisons to similar funds. On a five year basis the Fund's returns are in the
top 5% of Growth and Income Fund returns, as measured by Lipper Analytical
Services.

   In general, individual security selection has been key to the Fund's
long-term performance. For example, the Fund has owned W. R. Grace for almost
two years, anticipating the benefits of corporate restructuring. The company
recently announced a significant merger, and the stock rose sharply. Another
Fund holding, Elf Acquitaine, a large international oil company, is in the midst
of major restructuring. The restructuring should lower costs and enhance
long-term hydrocarbon production. The stock also represents an excellent
opportunity to benefit from favorable energy market conditions.

   During the past year, the Fund also benefited from favorable economic
conditions and the "unlocking" of shareholder value--the result of corporate
restructuring, a catalyst associated with nearly one-half of the individual
securities owned in the Fund.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: TO PROVIDE LONG-TERM GROWTH OF CAPITAL WITH A SECONDARY
GOAL OF CURRENT INCOME.

   For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, the Fund's total return was
32.69%, compared to 40.43% for the S&P 500. In an absolute sense, the
performance has been very

strong--at levels too high to sustain over the long term--but results have not
met our target relative to the market indices. That being said, the Fund
maintains an attractive risk/return profile and had an overall and three-year
four-star rating from Morningstar as of September 30, 1997.

   Following its strategy, the Fund maintains broad diversification among the
major market sectors. Issues are generally quite fully valued, which is not
surprising considering the length of time the overall market has been rising
without a significant correction. However, we continue to see attractive
investment opportunities. The Fund is modestly overweighted in technology,
health care and financial issues. We remain underweighted in the economically
cyclical sectors, such as industrial commodities and durable goods.

   Individual issues that aided performance in the past year included Nokia,
Signet Banking, Microsoft, Schlumberger and Medtronic. Nokia is one of the two
largest producers of wireless phone handsets. Developed economies have seen
continued demand for wireless phones. Nokia's sales rose more than 40% in recent
quarters, resulting in earnings doubling.

   First Union acquired Signet Banking, a leading regional bank in the
Southeast, because of its strong market franchise. The stock made much of its
move when First Union agreed to acquire the company. The Fund expects to retain
its position in First Union because of its strong prospects as the sixth largest
bank in the country.

   Microsoft continues to be the largest and most profitable company in the
desktop computing marketplace, driven largely by the strength of its operating
system software. Net profit margins have risen to about one-third of sales.
Sales have slowed in recent quarters, however, as the company is between major
product cycles such as Window 95 and Windows NT, both of which had a major
impact in the past two years.

   Schlumberger is a leader in oil field services, an industry that has
experienced a resurgence in profitability following many years of low
profitability. Natural gas supplies in the United States have finally shrunk to
relatively modest levels, and energy companies are stepping up their exploration
and development spending to develop new supplies.

   One of our biggest disappointments has been the performance of Columbia/HCA
Healthcare. The company operates the largest chain of privately owned hospitals
in the country, but has been a poor performer since the government announced
that it was investigating the company for fraud. The company has replaced its
top management, but the stock price has fallen to less than what it was a year
ago. The current valuation is very low, but considerable uncertainty remains.
Going forward, the stock appears undervalued relative to even our very reduced
expectations.

                               SPECIAL EQUITY FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: TO PROVIDE CAPITAL APPRECIATION

   For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, the Fund produced a total
return of 39.93%, compared with the Standard & Poor's 400 Mid-Cap Index of
39.09%.

   The Special Equity Fund is a value oriented Fund that invests primarily in
companies with market capitalizations of $1 billion to $5 billion. These are
referred to as "mid-capitalization" stocks. The stocks are generally more
volatile than large capitalization stocks but less volatile than small
capitalization stocks with capitalizations of less than $1 billion.

   We invest in fundamentally sound companies with temporary, not terminal,
problems at attractive valuations. The Fund seeks to limit portfolio risk by
holding 50 to 60 securities. Individual security positions are generally built,
and subsequently reduced, slowly over time. In addition, risk is reduced by not
excessively concentrating investments in sectors of the market.

   Individual security selection was the main driver to performance over the
last year. A couple of examples of the implementation of our investment approach
are Canandaigua Wine and Brinker International.

   Canandaigua Wine, a leading producer of moderately priced wine, experienced
an earnings shortfall due to a poor grape crop. The fundamental business
remained strong, but the market dropped the stock price to a very attractive
valuation. The stock was purchased in the low $20s and is now near $50 because
the current new grape crop was normal.

   Brinker International, operator of the Chili's restaurant chain, a leader in
casual dining, experienced a slowdown in earnings due to wage pressures and
tough weather. Their leadership position remained strong, yet the market dropped
the stock price to attraction valuations. The stock was purchased in the $12
range. It is currently over $17, and as the weather improved, the company has
also adjusted to the current cost structure.

   As of September 30, 1997, the Fund had an overall four-star rating from
Morningstar. The Fund's one-year performance is in the top 15% of its peer
group, as measured by Lipper Analytical Services.

                              REGIONAL EQUITY FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: TO PROVIDE CAPITAL APPRECIATION.

   For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, the Fund produced a total
return of 36.13%, compared to the Frank Russell 2000 Index return of 33.19%. For
the three-year period ended September 30, 1997, the Fund produced an average
annual return of 28.72%, compared to the return of the Frank Russell 2000 Index
of 22.96%.

   The Fund invests mainly in the securities of small capitalization companies
in the upper Midwest. Investment decisions are made using a bottom-up approach,
focusing on stocks that are fundamentally sound, attractively valued and/or
inefficiently priced as a result of low recognition and awareness by the
investment community. Our proximity to these companies offers obvious benefits
in uncovering, analyzing and monitoring unrecognized opportunities.

   Strong performers for the year included: Transcript, a Nebraska-based
wireless communications technology company; Ballantyne of Omaha, which is
involved in the design, manufacture and distribution of motion picture
equipment; Community First Bancshares, located in North Dakota; and Merrill
Corp., a Minnesota-based printing and marketing communications company. The
stocks of these companies more than doubled during the past year.

   Over the past several years, performance of small capitalization stocks
lagged the performance of large capitalization issues. The last quarter of the
fiscal year, however, has provided results that indicate there may be a change
in that trend. Looking forward, we hope the market for small capitalization
stocks will remain strong for the coming year and that the apparent rotation
from large capitalization stocks to small capitalization stocks will continue.

                             EMERGING GROWTH FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: TO PROVIDE GROWTH OF CAPITAL.

   For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, the Fund's total return was
24.73%, compared with the Frank Russell 2000 Index return of 33.19%. The Fund
experienced a particularly rocky last quarter of 1996 when many of our
technology issues suffered serious declines. Most of the Fund's relative
underperformance can be attributed to that quarter.

   Performance of small capitalization companies lagged that of larger
companies, as was true a year ago, but the trend appears to have reversed in the
last two months of the fiscal year. When relative prices and expected growth
rates are considered, the larger capitalization issues appear to be more fully
valued than smaller capitalization stocks as a group.

<PAGE>


                        PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
                               September 30, 1997

   The Fund has increased consumer issues while reducing technology issues in
recent months. Technology is still slightly overweighted compared to the market
indices, but many of the issues in the sector we own have risen in value. When
the holdings appear to be fully valued, we have been selling them. At the same
time, consumer cyclicals continue to be relatively cheap, leading us to increase
holdings with the greatest potential returns.

   Strong performers this year included Advanced Energy, Closure Medical, Remec,
Keane, and Petroleum Geo-Services. Advanced Energy was one of our losers in
1996, but rebounded to nearly five times last year's price. The company
manufactures power conversion and control systems used in semi-conductor
production equipment. The market for this equipment, though highly cyclical, has
grown with high demand. The company is a leader in its field and was
significantly undervalued a year ago. We reduced our position at recent price
levels that more adequately reflected the value of the company.

   Remec manufactures commercial wireless telecommunications equipment and
defense electronics products. Growth in the wireless products has been very
rapid as the licensees are now building their franchises in the United States.

   Petroleum Geo-Services is an operator of marine seismic vessels. It has
developed leading expertise in 3-D seismic data acquisition used by energy
companies to assess the potential for oil or gas. The market has been strong
since energy companies have been scrambling to increase their energy reserves.
As a result, Petroleum Geo-Services has been able to sell proprietary seismic
data at rising prices, significantly increasing earnings.

   As we compare the long-term prospects of companies against their current
prices, we are finding that more companies are overvalued today than a year ago.
The markets, however, continue to react strongly to very near term impacts,
allowing us to continue to find attractively priced companies with strong growth
potential. We think returns will be favorable again in the coming year, as we
continue to find undervalued companies with growth potential.

                               INTERNATIONAL FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: TO PROVIDE LONG-TERM GROWTH OF CAPITAL.

   For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, the Fund produced a total
return of 30.03%, compared with 12.19% for the MSCI EAFE Index.

   The driving theme behind performance for the year has been our focus on large
capitalization, foreign multinational corporations with global franchises. The
strength of the U.S. dollar has been instrumental in the appreciation of these
stocks. As foreign currencies weaken versus the dollar, foreign companies with
global scope are able to benefit from an enhanced competitive position relative
to their U.S. peers. This results in improved sales and rising profits when
translated back into their local currencies. Two companies that fit this theme
are Nokia (Finland) and L.M. Ericsson (Sweden). These firms supply telephone
infrastructure equipment and cellular handsets globally. They are benefiting
from the boom in cellular telephone worldwide.

                        PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
                               September 30, 1997

   Other themes represented in the Fund include major pharmaceutical companies,
such as Novartis (Switzerland) and Smithkline Beecham (U.K.) These companies
benefit from a major new drug cycle and significant exposure to the United
States, the world's largest drug market. Additionally, the Fund is invested in
international oil firms such as Royal Dutch (The Netherlands) and Elf Acquitaine
(France), both dollar-earners that are undergoing dramatic restructuring and
cost-cutting efforts. And, finally, the Fund owns companies benefiting from the
trend toward corporate outsourcing. Two such companies are SAP (Germany) and Cap
Gemini (France), both of which provided positive impact to the portfolio.

   The strengthening of the dollar also provided another benefit to relative
returns to the portfolio. While a strong dollar means that foreign returns are
eroded when translated back to American investors, we have been able to mitigate
some of that erosion through currency hedging. Currency hedging added about 7%
to returns for the fiscal year.

   Another significant factor in the portfolio's strong performance for the year
was the investment in Japan. While the Japanese index declined 16.3% in dollar
terms for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, the half weighting to the
benchmark index was a positive. However, the real key was our stock selection,
which provided absolute returns of 22.7%. Once again, our top-down approach,
which focuses on stock selection based on relative momentum, directed us to own
the export-oriented blue chip Japanese stocks which benefit from the strong
dollar. Stocks such as Sony, Bridgestone, Canon, Tokyo Electron and Takeda
Chemical dramatically outperformed the Japanese market and aided performance.

   We are confident that even in a market correction these same stocks should
perform relatively well. The considerable number of companies in the Fund that
are in the midst of restructuring programs should continue to see the benefits
of cost cutting and improved margins, regardless of economic activity. Our
holdings in oils, foods and pharmaceuticals also provide a defensive base for
any significant downturn.

   As long as the outlook for the dollar remains strong, we do not anticipate
significant changes to the portfolio. However, should events occur that alter
this outlook, investors should expect that we would move away from the current
dollar beneficiaries to whatever new leadership should emerge.

                              HEALTH SCIENCES FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: TO PROVIDE LONG-TERM GROWTH OF CAPITAL.

   For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, the Fund produced a total
return of 23.60%, compared with 33.19% for the Frank Russell 2000 Index and
26.00% for the Lipper Health/ Biotechnology Funds Average.

   Health care issues have performed well in the past 12 months on an absolute
basis, although the sector has trailed the broader market averages in total
return. The strongest performers in health care were large capitalization
pharmaceutical companies, which were up 48% from one year ago. The small
capitalization biotechnology issues were not strong performers, but we
anticipate that they will

                        PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
                               September 30, 1997

perform at better levels in the near future. The Fund invests mainly in small
capitalization issues. Currently, one-fifth of the holdings are early-stage
companies with promising products that have not yet reached the market.

   Good performers in the Fund during the past year include Closure Medical,
Sepracor, Chirex, Imnet Systems, Medtronic, Elan and Qiagen.

   Closure Medical has developed medical adhesives already approved in Europe
and soon to be approved in the United States. These products may potentially
replace traditional sutures for a significant market share in hospital emergency
rooms. Johnson & Johnson will market the product.

   Qiagen makes biotechnology products. Demand is growing as the major
pharmaceutical companies invest more money in bio-tech research. In addition,
the company has expanded from the European market into the U.S. market as
laboratories replace older, inefficient systems with its products.

   Medtronic, a leader in the medical device industry, was recently sold when it
became overvalued relative to the market, even after adjusting for a positive
new-product outlook.

   One holding that underperformed our expectations this year was Iddex
Laboratories. Iddex is a leading producer of diagnostic test kits used by
veterinary labs. It experienced a dramatic and unexpected slowdown in its rate
of growth (from about 40% per year to a decline in the most recent quarter). We
believe much of the decline was due to inventory build up because of moderating
growth. We have held the position expecting better performance as demand grows
for the company's product.

   There are fewer bargains in health care issues now compared with last year
because of the strong valuations in the sector. However, we continue to see
opportunity and growth in the health care arena. A high level of new-product
research and development will lead to new and exciting products. At the same
time, consumers are getting older and their health care needs are increasing. In
addition, the strength of the global economy will increase health care spending
as the world uses its new found wealth to meet health care needs.

                                 TECHNOLOGY FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: TO PROVIDE LONG-TERM GROWTH OF CAPITAL.

   For the year ended September 30, 1997, this Fund produced a total return of
17.71%, compared to the Frank Russell 2000 Stock Index return of 33.19% and
35.69% for the Lipper Science and Technology Funds Average. The three-year
return for this Fund of 32.39% is significantly above the Frank Russell 2000
Stock Index return of 22.96% and is slightly below the 33.29% return of the
Lipper Science & Technology Funds Average.

    Performance of the Fund for the past year lagged our benchmarks as a result
of our concentration in small capitalization issues, networking stocks and our
underweighting in

semiconductors and semiconductor capital equipment stocks, which have performed
extremely well in recent months.

   Potential investments for the Fund must exhibit three things: innovation, an
available market and a competitive advantage. This process resulted in the
selection of many strong performers during the past year, including CKS Group
and VDI Media. CKS Group is an advertising agency that specializes in new media
such as Internet advertising campaigns. VDI Media, using new technology, takes
in digital images from movie studios via fiber optic links and reproduces the
images digitally.

   We are encouraged by the recent rebound in small capitalization and
technology issues. Looking ahead, we think that continued price declines in
technology products will stimulate demand for products. However, short-term
volatility as we have seen in the past will occur in this sector from time to
time.

                              FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS
                                   FOOTNOTES

   A few notes and definitions are needed for a complete understanding of the
performance figures.

   The performance data quoted represents past performance. The principal value
of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may
be worth more or less than their original cost. Money Market investments are
neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government. There can be no assurance
that the Money Market Funds will be able to maintain a stable Net Asset Value of
$1.00 per share. Total return measures performance, assuming that all dividends
and capital gains distributions were reinvested.

   Total return, both with and without a sales charge, has been presented. All
total returns are quoted for the Class A shares before sales charges. For
shareholders who have not bought or sold shares during the period quoted, the
non-adjusted figures are probably more meaningful to you than the adjusted
figures. The adjusted figures for Class A shares include the effect of paying
the maximum initial sales charge of either 3.00% for all tax free funds, 2.00%
for the Limited Term Income Fund, 3.00% for the Intermediate Government Bond
Fund, 3.75% for the Intermediate Term Income and Fixed Income Funds, and 4.5%
for all equity funds.The adjusted figures for Class B shares include the effect
of paying the 5% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC), which declines from 5%
in the first year to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year.

   The First American International Fund invests primarily in foreign
securities, which can involve special risks due to foreign economic and
political developments. The Emerging Growth, Regional Equity and Micro Cap Value
Funds generally invest in small-cap stocks, which can be riskier than the
overall stock market.

   Line graphs have been included so an investor can compare a fund's historical
performance to that of an appropriate broad-based index. The index does not
reflect the deduction of expenses associated with mutual funds, such as
investment management, fund accounting, legal, registration, SEC and transfer
agent expenses.The fund's performance reflects the deduction of fees for these
value-added services.

   Lipper averages are calculated by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., a
nationally recognized mutual fund performance evaluation firm. They are
performance averages of those funds that are tracked by Lipper, with the
investment objective noted. Lipper rankings are based on total returns, not
adjusted for sales charges.

   Morningstar proprietary ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted performance
as of 9/30/97. The ratings are subject to change every month. Past performance
is no guarantee of future results. Morningstar ratings are calculated from the
funds' 3-, 5-, and 10-year average annual returns (if available) in excess of
90-day Treasury bill returns with appropriate fee adjustments, and a risk factor
that reflects fund performance below 90-day T-bill returns. Domestic Equity
funds were ranked among 2,143 and 1,187 funds for the 3- and 5-year periods,
respectively. Municipal funds were ranked among 1,374 and 668 funds for the 3-
and 5-year periods, respectively. Taxable bond funds were ranked among 1,309 and
713 funds for the 3- and 5-year periods, respectively. Ten percent of the funds
in a rating universe receive five stars, 22.5% receive four stars, 35% receive
three stars, and 22.5% receive two stars.

                               September 30, 1997


   The Board of Directors and Shareholders
   First American Investment Funds, Inc.
   First American Funds, Inc.:


   We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets as of September 30,
1997, and the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net
assets and the financial highlights for each of the twenty-three funds
constituting First American Investment Funds, Inc., and for each of the three
funds constituting First American Funds, Inc. for each of the periods presented.
These financial statements and the financial highlights are the responsibility
of the funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and the financial highlights based on our audits. The
financial highlights of Equity Income Fund and Diversified Growth Fund for the
periods presented ended November 30, 1993, were audited by other auditors whose
reports dated January 20, 1994, expressed unqualified opinions on this
information.

   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and the financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. Investment securities held in custody are confirmed to us
by the custodian. As to securities purchased and sold but not received or
delivered and securities on loan, we request confirmations from brokers and
where replies are not received, we carry out other appropriate auditing
procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

   In our opinion, the financial statements and the financial highlights
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of each of the twenty-three funds constituting First American
Investment Funds, Inc., and each of the three funds constituting First American
Funds, Inc. as of September 30, 1997, and the results of their operations,
changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods
presented, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1  ORGANIZATION

The First American Prime Obligations Fund, Government Obligations Fund and
Treasury Obligations Fund are funds offered by First American Funds, Inc.
(FAF). The First American Limited Term Income Fund, Intermediate Term Income
Fund, Intermediate Government Bond Fund, Fixed Income Fund, California
Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Colorado Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Intermediate
Tax Free Fund, Minnesota Insured Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Oregon
Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Asset Allocation Fund, Balanced Fund, Real Estate
Securities Fund, Equity Income Fund, Equity Index Fund, Stock Fund, Diversified
Growth Fund, Special Equity Fund, Regional Equity Fund, Emerging Growth Fund,
Micro Cap Value Fund, International Fund, Health Sciences Fund, and Technology
Fund are funds offered by First American Investment Funds, Inc. (FAIF). FAF and
FAIF (collectively the "Funds") are registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended, as open end, management investment companies. The Funds'
articles of incorporation permit the Board of Directors to create additional
funds in the future.

FAF offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D shares. Class B shares are
only available pursuant to an exchange for Class B shares of another fund in
the First American family. Class B shares may also be subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge for six years and automatically convert to Class A shares
after eight years. Class C and D shares are offered only to qualifying
institutional investors. Class A and B shares are not offered by the Government
Obligations Fund or Treasury Obligations Fund.

FAIF offers Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Class A shares are sold with a
front-end sales charge. Class B shares may be subject to a contingent deferred
sales charge for six years and automatically convert to Class A shares after
eight years. Class C shares have no sales charge and are offered only to
qualifying institutional investors.

The Funds' prospectuses provides a description of each Fund's investment
objectives, policies and strategies. All classes of shares in FAF and FAIF have
identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, and the same terms
and conditions, except that the level of distribution fees charged may differ
among classes.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies followed by the Funds are as follows:

SECURITY VALUATION -- Investment securities held by FAF are stated at amortized
cost which approximates market value. Under the amortized cost method, any
discount or premium is amortized ratably to the maturity of the security and is
included in interest income.

Security valuations for FAIF Fund investments are furnished by an independent
pricing service that has been approved by the Board of Directors. Investments
in equity securities which are traded on a national securities exchange (or
reported on the NASDAQ national market system) are stated at the last quoted
sales price if readily available for such securities on each business day,
other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed equity
securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last
quoted bid price. Debt obligations exceeding sixty 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 electronic data processing 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. 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 Board of
Directors. Debt obligations with sixty days or less remaining until maturity
may be valued at their amortized cost. Foreign securities are valued at the
closing prices on the principal exchange on which they trade. The prices for
foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars
using currency exchange rates. Exchange rates are provided daily by recognized
independent pricing agents as of 12:00 p.m. EST each day. In the event that
there is a material change in the exchange rates between 12:00 p.m. EST and the
time the Funds' net asset value is calculated, the net asset value of the Fund
will be calculated using the revised exchange rates.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- The Funds record security
transactions on the trade date of the security

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               September 30, 1997


purchase or sale. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest
income, including amortization of bond premium and discount is recorded on the
accrual basis. Security gains and losses are determined on the basis of
identified cost, which is the same basis used for Federal income tax purposes.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Distributions from net investment income for
FAF are declared on a daily basis and are payable on the first business day of
the following month.

Limited Term Income Fund, Intermediate Term Income Fund, Intermediate
Government Bond Fund, Fixed Income Fund, California Intermediate Tax Free Fund,
Colorado Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Minnesota
Insured Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Oregon Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Asset
Allocation Fund, Balanced Fund, Equity Income Fund, Equity Index Fund, Stock
Fund, Diversified Growth Fund and Special Equity Fund declare and pay income
dividends monthly. Real Estate Securities Fund, Regional Equity Fund, Emerging
Growth Fund, Micro Cap Value Fund, Health Sciences Fund and Technology Fund
declare and pay income dividends quarterly.

A portion of the quarterly distributions of the Real Estate Securities Fund may
be a return of capital. International Fund declares and pays dividends
annually. Any net realized capital gains on sales of securities for a fund are
distributed to shareholders at least annually.

FEDERAL TAXES -- It is each Fund's intention to continue to qualify as a
regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income.
Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required. For Federal
income tax purposes, required distributions related to realized gains from
security transactions are computed as of October 31st.

The amounts of distributions from net investment income and net realized
capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations,
which may differ from those amounts determined under generally accepted
accounting principles. These book/tax differences are either temporary or
permanent in nature. These differences are primarily due to wash sales, foreign
currency gains and losses, the "market-to-market" of certain Passive Foreign
Investment Companies (PFICs) for tax purposes, the character of distributions
made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains, and the
timing of distributions where 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. To the extent these differences are permanent,
adjustments are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period that the
difference arises. In the Regional Equity Fund, a permanent difference resulted
from a redemption-in-kind in the amount of $6,712,162 in 1997. Associated with
the redemption-in-kind were realized gains of $1,583,477 were recognized for
book purposes but not for tax purposes.

On the Statement of Net Assets the following adjustments were made (000):

FUTURES TRANSACTIONS -- In order to gain exposure to or protect against changes
in the market, certain funds may enter into S&P Stock Index futures contracts
and other stock futures contracts.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the fund is required to deposit cash or
pledge "U.S." Government securities in an amount equal to five percent of the
purchase price indicated in the futures contract (initial margin). 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 or losses until
the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the fund records a
realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or
cost of) the closing transaction and the fund's basis in the contracts.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with
member banks of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or registered broker
dealers whom the Adviser or Sub-Adviser deems creditworthy



<PAGE>


                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               September 30, 1997


under guidelines approved by the Board of Directors, subject to the seller's
agreement to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed upon date and
price. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by a fund plus
interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates.

Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by the
custodian bank until the respective agreements mature. The funds may also
invest in tri-party repurchase agreements. Securities held as collateral for
tri-party repurchase agreements are maintained in a segregated account by the
broker's custodian bank until the maturity of the repurchase agreement.
Provisions of the repurchase agreements ensure that the market value of the
collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of
default of the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the
collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding,
realization of the collateral by a fund may be delayed or limited.

SECURITIES PURCHASED ON A WHEN-ISSUED BASIS -- Delivery and payment for
securities which have been purchased by a Fund on a forward commitment or
when-issued basis can take place up to a month or more after the transaction
date. During this period, such securities are subject to market fluctuations
and the portfolio maintains, in a segregated account with its custodian, assets
with a market value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase
commitments.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION -- The books and records of the International Fund
are maintained in U.S. dollars on the following bases:

     (I)  market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the
          current rate of exchange; and

     (II) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at
          the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of
          such transactions.

The International Fund does not isolate the portion of gains and losses on
investments in equity securities that is due to changes in the foreign exchange
rates from that which is due to change in market prices of equity securities.

The International Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as
components of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such
components are treated as ordinary income for Federal income tax purposes.

FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The International Fund enters into
forward foreign currency contracts as hedges against either specific
transactions or fund positions. The aggregate principal amount of the contracts
are not recorded as the International Fund intends to settle the contracts
prior to delivery. All commitments are "marked-to-market" daily at the
applicable foreign exchange rate and any resulting unrealized gains or losses
are recorded currently. The International Fund realizes gains or losses at the
time the forward contracts are extinguished. Unrealized gains or losses on
outstanding positions in forward foreign currency contracts held at the close
of the year are recognized as ordinary income or loss for Federal income tax
purposes.

EXPENSES -- Expenses that are directly related to one of the funds are charged
directly to that fund. Other operating expenses are prorated to the funds on
the basis of relative net asset value. Class specific expenses, such as the
12b-1 fees, are borne by that class. Income, other expenses and realized and
unrealized gains and losses of a fund are allocated to the respective class on
the basis of the relative net asset value each day.

OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS -- In order to hedge against market risks certain funds
may write covered call options and purchase put options on stock indices.
Options are valued daily based upon the last sales price on the principal
exchange on which the option is traded, and the fund records the unrealized
gain or loss. A fund will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing
of the options contract.

SECURITIES LENDING -- Each fund may lend up to one-third of the value of its
total assets to broker-dealers, banks or other institutional borrowers of
securities in order to earn additional income. The funds' policy is to maintain
collateral in the form of cash, United States' Government securities or other
high grade debt obligations equal to at least 100% of the value of securities
loaned. The collateral is then marked to market daily until the securities are
returned.

                               September 30, 1997


USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- The preparation
of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amount of net assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets at the date of the financial statements and the reported results of
operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.


3 FEES AND EXPENSES

Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the Agreement), U.S. Bank
National Association (the Adviser) manages each fund's assets and furnishes
related office facilities, equipment, research and personnel. The Agreement
requires each fund to pay the Adviser a monthly fee based upon average daily
net assets. The fee for each of the FAF funds is equal to an annual rate of
 .40% of the average daily net assets. The fee for each of the FAIF funds, other
than the International Fund, is equal to an annual rate of .70% of the average
daily net assets. Marvin & Palmer Associates, Inc., serves as Sub-Adviser to
the International Fund pursuant to a Sub-Advisory Agreement with the Adviser.
The fee for the International Fund is equal to an annual rate of 1.25% of
average daily net assets.

FAIF funds may invest in FAF funds, subject to certain limitations. The terms
of such transactions are identical to those of non-related entities except
that, to avoid duplicative investment advisory fees, the Adviser reimburses to
each FAIF fund an amount equal to the investment advisory fee earned by FAF
related to such investments.

Through a separate contractual agreement, First Trust National Association, an
affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the Funds' custodian. In the Statement of
Operations, expenses paid indirectly represent a reduction of custodian fees
for earnings on cash balances.

SEI Investments Distribution Co. (SIDCO.) and SEI Investments Management
Corporation, (SIMC) serve as distributor and administrator of the Funds,
respectively. Under the distribution plan, each of the funds pay SID CO a
monthly distribution fee of .25% of each fund's average daily net assets of the
Retail Class A shares, 1.00% of the Retail Class B shares and .15% of the
Corporate Trust Class D shares, which may be used by SIDCO to provide
compensation for sales support and distribution activities. No distribution
fees are paid by Institutional Class C shares. SIMC provides administrative
services, including certain accounting, legal and shareholder services, at an
annual rate of .07% of each FAF Fund's, and .12% of each FAIF fund's, average
daily net assets, with a minimum annual fee of $50,000 per fund. To the extent
that the aggregate net assets of the First American Family of Funds exceed $8
billion, the annual rate of each FAF fund is reduced to .055% and each FAIF
fund is reduced to .105%. Effective July 1, 1997 the funds in operation were no
longer subject to the $50,000 minimum.

In addition to the investment advisory and management fees, custodian fees,
distribution fees, administrator and transfer agent fees, each fund is
responsible for paying most other operating expenses including organization
costs, fees and expenses of outside directors, registration fees, printing
shareholder reports, legal, auditing, insurance and other miscellaneous
expenses.

For the period ended September 30, 1997, legal fees and expenses were paid to a
law firm of which the Secretary of the Funds is a partner.

DST Systems, Inc. provides transfer agent services for the Funds.

A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) is imposed on redemptions made in the
Retail Class B. The CDSC varies depending on the number of years from time of
payment for the purchase of Class B shares until the redemption of such shares.

*Includes carryover acquired in connection with Managed Income merger, the

The Government Obligations Fund, Intermediate Term Income and Intermediate Term
Government Bond incurred losses in the amount of $6,000, $159,000, and $161,000
from November 1, 1996 to September 30, 1997. As permitted by tax regulations,
the funds' intend to elect to defer and treat these losses as arising in the
fiscal year ending September 30, 1998.

5 DEFERRED ORGANIZATIONAL COSTS

Organizational costs have been capitalized by the Funds and are being amortized
over sixty months commencing with operations on a straight-line basis.

6 FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS

The International Fund enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts
as hedges against portfolio positions and in connection with portfolio purchases
and sale of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Such contracts, which
protect the value of the

fund's investment securities against a decline in the value of the hedged
currency, do not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the
securities. They simply establish an exchange rate at a future date. Although
such contracts tend to minimize the risk of loss due to a decline in the value
of a hedged currency, at the same time they tend to limit any potential gain
that might be realized should the value of such foreign currency increase.

The following forward foreign currency contracts were outstanding at September
30, 1997.

7 FUTURES CONTRACTS

The Equity Index Fund's investment in S&P 500 Index futures contracts is
designed to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet redemption requests and to
increase the level of fund assets devoted to replicating the composition of the
S&P 500 Index while reducing transaction costs. Risks of entering into futures
contracts, in general, include the possibility that there will not be a perfect
price correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities.
Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could
exist in the secondary market, resulting in an inability to close a futures
position prior to its maturity date. Third, the purchase of a futures contract
involves the risk that a fund could lose more than the original margin deposit
required to initiate a futures transaction. Unrealized gains or losses on
outstanding positions in futures contracts held at the close of the year will
be recognized as capital gains or losses for Federal income tax purposes. At
September 30, 1997, open long S&P 500 Index futures contracts were as follows:

8 OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS

The Special Equity Fund wrote covered call options and bought put options on
stock indices during the period. These transactions, which were undertaken
principally to hedge against market risk, entail certain risks. These risks
include the risk of imperfect correlation between movements of the index
covered by the option and movement in the price of the fund's securities, and
the risk of limited liquidity in the event the fund seeks to close out an
options position before expiration by entering into an offsetting transaction.
These transactions give the holder the right to receive upon exercise of the
option a defined amount of cash if the closing value of the index upon which
the option is based is greater than, in the case of a call, or less than, in
the case of a put, the exercise price of the option. Written options activity
for Special Equity Fund for the period ended September 30, 1997 is as follows:

9 SECURITIES LENDING TRANSACTIONS

In order to generate additional income, certain funds may lend portfolio
securities representing up to one-third of the value of total assets (which
includes collateral received for securities on loan) to broker dealers, banks,
or other institutional borrowers of securities. As with other extensions of
credit, there may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities or even loss
of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the security fail
financially. The market value of the securities on loan at September 30, 1997,
the collateral purchased with cash received and held at September 30, 1997 with
respect to such loans, and income generated during fiscal 1997 from the program
were as follows (000):

10 CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Minnesota Insured Intermediate Tax Free Fund
and Colorado Intermediate Tax Free Fund invest in debt instruments of municipal
issuers. Although these funds monitor investment concentration, the issuers'
ability to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a
specific state or region.

The California Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Colorado Intermediate Tax Free Fund,
Minnesota Insured Intermediate Tax Free Fund, Oregon Intermediate Tax Free Fund
and Intermediate Tax Free Fund invest in securities which include revenue
bonds, tax and revenue anticipation notes, and general obligation bonds. At
September 30, 1997, the percentage of portfolio investments by each revenue
source was as follows (unaudited):
