EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As a shareholder in one or more of the 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 (bonds, common stock, etc.) and by industry classification (healthcare, education, 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 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 on the last day of the reporting period and presents the fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) and market price per share. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. The market price is the closing price on the exchange on which the fund’s shares trade. This price, which may be higher or lower than the fund’s NAV, is the price an investor pays or receives when shares of the fund are purchased or sold. The investments, 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 investments 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 and distributions to shareholders 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 Statement of Cash Flows is required when a fund has a substantial amount of illiquid investments, a substantial amount of the fund’s securities are internally fair valued, or the fund carries some amount of debt. When presented, this statement explains the change in cash during the reporting period. It reconciles net cash provided by and used for operating activities to the net increase or decrease in net assets from operations and classifies cash receipts and payments as resulting from operating, investing, and financing activities.

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, net investment income ratios, expense 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 percentage of average net assets that were used to cover operating expenses during the period. 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 or 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.

Summary of
Significant
Accounting
Policies

Security Valuations

Security valuations for the funds’ investments (other than whole loans) are generally furnished by an independent

pricing service that has been approved by the funds’ board of directors. Investments in equity securities that 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. For securities traded on the Nasdaq national market system, the funds utilize the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which compares the last trade to the bid/ask price of a security. If the last trade falls within the bid/ask range, then that price will be the closing price. If the last trade is outside the bid/ask range, and falls above the ask, the ask price will be the closing price. If the last trade is below the bid, then the bid will be the closing price. Other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end funds are valued at their net asset values on the valuation date.

Debt obligations exceeding 60 days to maturity are valued by an independent pricing service. 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 may be valued at their amortized cost which approximates market value.

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 the funds’ investment advisor, U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. (“USBAM”) 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 and indices traded on Nasdaq or listed on a stock exchange 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. Swaps and over-the-counter options on securities and indices are valued at the quotations received from an independent pricing service, if available.

The funds’ investments in whole loans (single family, multifamily, and commercial) are generally not traded in any organized market therefore, market quotations are not readily available. These investments are valued at fair value according to procedures adopted by the funds’ board of directors.

When market quotations are not readily available, securities are internally valued at fair value as determined in good faith by procedures established and approved by the funds’ board of directors. Some of the factors that may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition; trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies; information from broker-dealers; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased or 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 NYSE, 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 the net asset value that would be calculated without fair value pricing.


FIRST AMERICAN MORTGAGE FUNDS		2014 SEMIANNUAL REPORT			35

Notes to Financial Statements

In accordance with the valuation procedures adopted by the funds’ board of directors, real estate acquired through foreclosure, if any, is initially valued similar to defaulted multifamily and commercial whole loans. The value is subsequently revised to an estimated market value, as determined by independent third party appraisals, less estimated selling costs.

As of February 28, 2014, the funds held internally fair valued securities as follows:


Fund	Fair Value		Percentage of Total Net Assets
ASP	$	24,030,143		51.7	%
BSP		99,732,203		67.6
CSP		90,508,079		54.4
SLA		65,020,234		53.6

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

GAAP requires disclosures regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. the exit price). GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy for observable and unobservable inputs used in measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability and are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, with similar interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). Generally, the types of securities included in Level 3 of a fund are securities that are not traded in any organized market, or for which there are significant unobservable fair value inputs available such as the funds’ investments in whole loans.

The fair value levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments.

Valuation Methodologies for Fair Value Measurements Categorized within Levels 2 and 3

U.S. Government Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities, Asset-Backed Securities, and Corporate Bonds

U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and corporate bonds 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.

Commercial and Multifamily Whole Loans

Commercial and multifamily whole loans are analyzed using a pricing methodology designed to incorporate, among other things, the present value of the projected stream of cash flows on such investments (the “discounted cash flow” methodology). For commercial and multifamily whole loans, this pricing methodology takes into account a number of relevant factors, including changes in prevailing interest rates, yield spreads, the borrower’s creditworthiness (i.e. the debt service coverage ratio), lien position, delinquency status, and the projected rate of prepayments. For first lien loans, if the resulting price from the discounted cash flow methodology is lower than the current average loss recovery on commercial mortgage-backed securities (the “price floor”), the loan will be fair valued at the price floor (the “price floor” methodology). In addition, for all loans, if the resulting price from the discounted cash flow methodology is above the loan’s par value plus any prepayment penalty (the “price ceiling”), the loan will be fair valued at the price ceiling (the “anticipated recovery rate” methodology). Newly purchased loans are fair valued at cost and subsequently analyzed using the discounted cash flow methodology. Loans with a pending short payoff will be fair valued at the anticipated recovery rate. If the USBAM valuation committee concludes that the fundamentals of a loan or its underlying collateral do not support the use of the discounted cash flow, price ceiling or price floor methodologies, a fair value determination may be made that incorporates other relevant factors (e.g., appraisal of loan collateral). Valuations of commercial and multifamily whole loans are determined no less frequently than weekly. Although USBAM believes the pricing methodologies to be reasonable and appropriate, the actual values that may be realized upon the sale of whole loans can only be determined in negotiations between the funds’ and third parties.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the determination of fair value using the discounted cash flow methodology for commercial and multifamily whole loans include yield spreads and debt service coverage ratios. Significant increases (decreases) in yield spreads would result in lower (higher) fair values. A significant decrease (increase) in the debt service coverage ratio of a loan’s borrower could result in lower (higher) fair values.

Single Family Whole Loans

Single family whole loans are analyzed using the discounted cash flow methodology. For single family whole loans, the pricing methodology takes into account a number of relevant factors, including changes in prevailing interest rates, yield spreads, delinquency status, loan to value, lien position, and prepayment speeds. If the resulting price from the discounted cash flow methodology is above 103% of the loan’s par value (the “price ceiling”), the loan will be fair valued at the price ceiling (the “price ceiling” methodology). Valuations of single family whole loans are determined no less frequently than weekly. Although USBAM believes the pricing methodologies to be reasonable and appropriate, the actual values that may be realized upon the sale of whole loans can only be determined in negotiations between the fund and third parties.

The significant unobservable input used in the determination of fair value using the discounted cash flow methodology for single family whole loans is the yield spread. Significant increases (decreases) in yield spreads would result in lower (higher) fair values.

Notes to Financial Statements

Corporate Notes

Corporate notes are analyzed using the discounted cash flow methodology. For corporate notes, the pricing methodology takes into account changes in prevailing interest rates and yield spreads. If the resulting price from the discounted cash flow methodology is above the note’s par value plus any prepayment penalty (the “price ceiling”), the note will be fair valued at the price ceiling (the “price ceiling” methodology). Currently all corporate notes are fair valued at the price ceiling. Valuations of corporate notes are determined no less frequently than weekly. Although USBAM believes the pricing methodologies to be reasonable and appropriate, the actual values that may be realized upon the sale of corporate notes can only be determined in negotiations between the fund and third parties.

The significant unobservable input used in the determination of fair value using the discounted cash flow methodology for corporate notes is the yield spread. Significant increases (decreases) in yield spreads would result in lower (higher) fair values.

Real Estate Owned

Real Estate Owned properties are valued, whenever possible, using an appraisal or broker’s opinion of value. If an appraisal or broker’s opinion is not available, a property is valued at the current average loss recovery on commercial mortgage-backed securities (the “average recovery rate” methodology).


40		FIRST AMERICAN MORTGAGE FUNDS		2014 SEMIANNUAL REPORT

For commercial, multifamily and single family whole loans and corporate notes, if USBAM’s valuation committee concludes that the fundamentals of a loan or its underlying collateral do not support the use of the discounted cash flow, price ceiling or price floor methodologies, a fair value determination may be made as described below:

Valuation Process for Fair Value Measurements Categorized within Level 3

The funds’ board of directors (the “board”) has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of the funds’ investments (the “valuation procedures”). The valuation procedures establish a valuation committee consisting of representatives from USBAM’s investment management, legal, treasury and compliance departments (the “valuation committee”). The board has authorized the valuation committee to make fair value determinations in accordance with the valuation procedures. The audit committee of the board meets on a regular basis to, among other things, review fair value determinations made by the valuation committee, monitor the appropriateness of any previously determined fair value methodology, and approve in advance any proposed changes to such methodology, and presents such changes for ratification by the board.

Notes to Financial Statements

Security Transactions and Investment Income

For financial statement purposes, the funds record security transactions on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including accretion of bond discounts and amortization of bond premiums, is recorded on 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 and paid on a monthly basis. Any net realized gains on sales of securities for the funds are distributed to shareholders at least annually. These distributions are recorded as of the close of business on the ex-dividend date.

The funds will provide a notice, as required by Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act, for any distribution that does not consist solely of net investment income. Any such notice will provide information regarding the estimated amounts of the distribution derived from net investment income, net realized capital gains, and return of capital. Such notices will be for informational purposes only and the amounts indicated in such notices likely will differ from the ultimate federal income tax characterization of distributions reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV after year end.

Distributions are payable in cash or, pursuant to the funds’ dividend reinvestment plans, reinvested in additional shares of the funds’ capital stock. Under each fund’s plan, fund shares will be purchased in the open market unless the market price plus commissions exceeds the net asset value by 5% or more. If, at the close of business on the dividend payment date, the shares purchased in the open market are insufficient to satisfy the dividend reinvestment requirement, the funds will issue new shares at a discount of up to 5% from the current market price.

The funds receive substantial distributions from holdings in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). Distributions from REITs may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain, or a return of capital to the REIT shareholder. The proper characterization of REIT distributions is generally not known until after the end of each calendar year. As such, the funds must use estimates in reporting the character of its income and distributions for financial statement purposes. The actual character of distributions to a fund’s shareholders will be reflected on the Form 1099 received by shareholders after the end of the calendar year. Due to the nature of REIT investments, a portion of the distributions received by a fund shareholder may represent a return of capital.

Federal Taxes

Each fund is treated as a separate taxable entity. Each fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company as provided in Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to distribute all taxable income, if any, to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required. Each fund also intends to distribute its taxable net investment income and realized gains, if any, to avoid the payment of any federal excise taxes. As of February 28, 2014, the funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable taxing authority. Generally, tax authorities can examine all the tax returns filed for the last three years.

Net investment income and net realized gains and losses may differ for financial statement and tax purposes because of temporary or permanent book/tax differences. These differences are primarily due to deferred wash sale losses, paydown gains and losses, tax mark-to-market adjustments under Section 311(e) of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, tax deductions for real estate owned, and investments in REITs. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made to the appropriate capital accounts in the fiscal period that the differences arise.

The character of distributions made during the fiscal period from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. In addition, due to the timing of dividend


42		FIRST AMERICAN MORTGAGE FUNDS		2014 SEMIANNUAL REPORT

distributions, the fiscal period in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal period that the income or realized gains or losses were recorded by the funds.

The character of distributions paid during the six-month period ended February 28, 2014, (estimated) and the fiscal year ended August 31, 2013, were as follows:

The difference between book and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) at August 31, 2013, is attributable to adjustments for REITs, tax deferral of losses on wash sales, and a one-time tax election whereby the funds marked appreciated securities to market creating capital gains that were used to reduce capital loss carryovers and increase tax cost basis.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Any losses incurred during those taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

For federal income tax purposes, the following funds had capital loss carryovers as of August 31, 2013, the funds’ most recently completed fiscal year-end, which, if not offset by subsequent capital gains, will expire on the funds’ fiscal year-ends as follows:


	Expiration

During the fiscal year, BSP and SLA utilized capital loss carryovers in the amounts of $4,301,698 and $1,578,427, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements

The funds incurred a loss for tax purposes for the period from November 1, 2012 to August 31, 2013. As permitted by tax regulations, the funds intend to elect to defer and treat the losses as arising in the fiscal year ending August 31, 2014. The deferred losses were as follow:


Fund	Amount
ASP	$	—
BSP		—
CSP		4,641,059

Whole Loans

Whole loans may bear a greater risk of loss arising from a default on the part of the borrower of the underlying loans than do traditional mortgage-backed securities. This is because whole loans, unlike most mortgage-backed securities, generally are not backed by any government guarantee or private credit enhancement. Such risk may be greater during a period of declining or stagnant real estate values. The funds may invest in single family, multifamily, and commercial loans. Each fund currently limits its investment in commercial loans to 50% of its total assets. A participating loan is a whole loan which contains provisions for the lender to participate in the income stream provided by the property, including net cash flow and capital proceeds. CSP and SLA received income during the period from participating loans on which the mortgage obligation had previously been fully repaid. An outstanding participating loan agreement may provide excess cash flows and certain appreciation rights after the mortgage obligation has been fully paid and before the sale of the property to a third party.

At February 28, 2014, no single family or commercial loans in ASP were 120 or more days delinquent.

At February 28, 2014, BSP had two multifamily loans representing 3.37% of total net assets and 19.87% of total multifamily loans outstanding that were 120 or more days delinquent as to the timely monthly payment of principal and interest. At February 28, 2014, no single family or commercial loans were 120 or more days delinquent.

At February 28, 2014, CSP had four multifamily loans representing 3.88% of total net assets and 27.07% of total multifamily loans outstanding and five commercial loans representing 9.43% of total net assets and 23.66% of total commercial loans outstanding that were 120 or more days delinquent as to the timely monthly payment of principal and interest.

At February 28, 2014, SLA had one multifamily loan representing 3.92% of total net assets and 35.90% of total multifamily loans outstanding that were 120 or more days delinquent as to the timely monthly payment of principal and interest. At February 28, 2014, no commercial loans were 120 or more days delinquent.

The funds may incur certain costs and delays in the event of a foreclosure. Also, there is no assurance that the subsequent sale of the property will produce an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal balance of the loan as of the date the borrower went into default, the accrued unpaid interest, and all of the foreclosure expenses. In this case, the funds may suffer a loss.

Real estate may be acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure on whole loans or similar obligations. The funds may receive rental or other income as a result of holding real estate. This income would generally fail to meet the test for “qualifying income” set forth in Section 851 of the Internal Revenue Code and could result in adverse tax consequences to the funds. In addition, the funds may incur expenses associated with maintaining or improving any real estate owned. Real estate income is recorded on a net basis in the income section of the funds’ Statement of Operations. Capital improvements are recorded as an addition to the cost basis of the property, which will increase any loss at sale. As of February 28, 2014, ASP held real estate owned through foreclosure as follows:


Fund	2/28/14 Cost		2/28/14 Value		Unrealized Depreciation
ASP
The Storage Place	$	3,189,940	$	1,700,000	$	(1,489,940	)


44		FIRST AMERICAN MORTGAGE FUNDS		2014 SEMIANNUAL REPORT

The net operating income and capital improvements for the six-month period ended February 28, 2014 were:


Fund	Gross Rental Income		Operating Expenses		Net Operating Income (Loss)		Improvements
ASP
The Storage Place	$	129,261	$	100,872	$	28,389	$	—

As of and for the six-month period ended February 28, 2014, BSP, CSP, and SLA owned no real estate.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

The funds may acquire interests in the cash flow from servicing fees through contractual arrangements with mortgage servicers. Mortgage servicing rights, similar to interest-only securities, generate no further cash flow when a mortgage is prepaid or goes into default. Mortgage servicing rights are accounted for on a level-yield basis with recognized income based on the estimated amounts and timing of cash flows. Such estimates are adjusted periodically as the underlying market conditions change. As of and for the six-month period ending February 28, 2014, the funds held no mortgage servicing rights.

Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis

Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the funds on a when-issued or forward-commitment basis can take place a month or more after the transaction date. Such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation, and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. Each fund segregates, with its custodian, assets with a market value equal to 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. As of February 28, 2014, the funds had no outstanding when-issued or forward-commitment securities.

Borrowings & Reverse Repurchase Agreements

Effective July 18, 2011, the funds entered into loan agreements with Bank of America, N.A. (“BofA”). Under the loan agreements, as amended, BofA has agreed to make credit facilities available to ASP, BSP, CSP, and SLA up to $15,000,000, $61,000,000, $65,000,000, and $40,000,000, respectively. Each credit facility continue on a revolving basis unless terminated in writing by BofA upon 180 days notice. Loans made under the loan agreements are secured by the respective fund’s holdings in REIT preferred stock and corporate bonds and bear interest at one-month LIBOR plus 0.85%. In addition, for any month in which less than 80% of a fund’s facility limit is outstanding, the respective fund pays a commitment fee equal to 0.40% per annum on the average daily undrawn portion of the respective fund’s facility limit.

The funds may also borrow money by entering into reverse repurchase agreements, which involve the sale of portfolio-eligible securities by the funds, coupled with an agreement to repurchase the securities at a specified date and price. Borrowings may increase volatility of the funds’ net asset values and involve the risk that interest costs on money borrowed may exceed the return on securities purchased with that borrowed money. Each fund is subject to a restriction on borrowing under which each fund must maintain asset coverage of at least 300%. The interest expense incurred on borrowings is recognized as “Interest Expense” in the Statements of Operations. For the six-month period ended February 28, 2014, the weighted average borrowings outstanding for ASP, BSP, CSP, and SLA were $20,502,000, $64,539,000, $68,726,833, and $52,868,333, respectively, and the weighted average interest rates paid by the funds on such borrowings were 0.82%, 0.95%, 0.93%, and 0.84%, respectively.

Repurchase Agreements

For repurchase agreements entered into with certain broker-dealers, the funds, along with other affiliated registered investment companies, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account, the daily aggregate of which is invested in repurchase agreements secured by U.S. Government or agency obligations. Securities pledged as collateral for all individual and joint repurchase agreements are held by the funds’ custodian or sub-custodian until maturity of the repurchase agreement. All agreements require that the daily market value of the eligible securities be in excess of the repurchase amount, including accrued interest, to protect the funds in the event of a default. As of February 28, 2014, the funds had no outstanding repurchase agreements.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Events Subsequent to Period End

On January 23, 2014, ASP and SLA announced that each fund’s directors had approved proposals to reorganize the funds into a newly-organized closed-end fund managed by NFA and sub-advised by NAM, both current sub-advisors of the funds. It was anticipated that the proposals would have been submitted to shareholders of each fund for a vote at a special meeting of shareholders anticipated to be held during the second quarter of 2014.

On March 27, 2014, ASP and SLA announced that the previously announced reorganization will not occur as originally planned. It is expected that the directors will consider a revised reorganization proposal from USBAM, NFA, and NAM at a meeting to be held in late April 2014 and that further information will be announced at that time.

On April 14, 2014, TIAA-CREF announced an agreement to acquire Nuveen Investments, Inc. The acquisition is expected to be completed by December 31, 2014, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by

the shareholders of the funds. The current sub-advisors of the funds, NFA and NAM, are, respectively, direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Nuveen Investments, Inc.

Fees and
Expenses

Investment Advisory Fees

Pursuant to investment advisory agreements with each fund, USBAM, a subsidiary of U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”), manages the funds’ assets and furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research, and personnel. For ASP, BSP, and CSP, the agreement provides USBAM with a monthly investment advisory fee in an amount equal to an annualized rate of 0.20% of the respective fund’s average weekly net assets and 4.50% of the daily gross income accrued by such fund during the month (i.e., investment income, including accretion of bond discounts and amortization of premiums, other than gains from the sale of securities or gains from options and futures contracts less interest on money borrowed by the funds). The monthly investment advisory fee may not exceed, in the aggregate, 1/12 of 0.725% of the respective fund’s average weekly net assets during the month (approximately 0.725% on an annual basis). For SLA, the agreement provides USBAM with a monthly investment advisory fee in an amount equal to an annualized rate of 0.50% of the fund’s average weekly net assets. For its fees, USBAM provides investment advice and, in general, conducts the management and investment activities of the funds.

The funds may invest in money market funds that are series of First American Funds, Inc., subject to certain limitations. In order to avoid the payment of duplicative investment advisory fees to USBAM, which acts as the investment advisor to the investing funds and the related money market funds, USBAM will reimburse to each investing fund an amount equal to that portion of USBAM’s investment advisory fee received from the related money market funds that is attributable to the assets of the investing fund. This reimbursement, if any, is included in “Fee reimbursements” in the Statements of Operations.

Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“NAM”) and Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. (“NFA”) each serve as investment sub-advisor to each fund pursuant to separate investment sub-advisory agreements with USBAM. NAM makes investment decisions for the funds, places purchase and sale orders for each fund’s portfolio transactions, and employs the funds’ portfolio managers and the securities analysts that provide research services relating to the funds. NFA provides certain other investment sub-advisory services to the funds, including assisting in the supervision of each fund’s investment program, risk monitoring, managing the forms and level of leverage employed by a fund, assisting in dividend and distribution level determinations, providing tax advice on issues arising in connection with management of a fund’s portfolio, and assisting with pricing of a fund’s portfolio securities.

With respect to each fund, USBAM pays monthly fees to NAM and NFA for the services provided under their respective sub-advisory agreements with USBAM. For ASP, BSP, and CSP, USBAM pays NAM a monthly fee in an amount equal to an annualized rate of 0.10% of the respective fund’s average weekly net assets and 3.00% of the daily gross income accrued by such fund during the month (i.e., investment income, including amortization of discount income, other than gains from the sale of securities or gains received from options and futures contracts less interest on money borrowed by the fund). The monthly investment sub-advisory fee may not exceed, in the aggregate, 1/12 of 0.45% of the respective fund’s average weekly net assets during the month (approximately 0.45% on an annual basis). For SLA, USBAM pays NAM a monthly fee in an amount equal to an annualized rate of 0.30% of the fund’s average weekly net assets.

For ASP, BSP, and CSP, USBAM pays NFA a monthly fee in an amount equal to 1.50% of the daily gross income accrued by the respective fund during the month (i.e., investment income, including amortization of discount income, other than gains from the sale of securities or gains received from options and futures contracts less interest on money borrowed by the fund). The monthly investment sub-advisory fee may not exceed, in the aggregate, 1/12 of 0.175% of the respective fund’s average weekly net assets during the month (approximately 0.175% on an annual basis). For SLA, USBAM pays NFA a monthly fee in an amount equal to an annualized rate of 0.10% of the funds average weekly net assets.

Notes to Financial Statements

Administration Fees

USBAM serves as the funds’ administrator pursuant to administration agreements between USBAM and each fund. Under these agreements, USBAM receives a monthly administration fee from each fund in an amount equal to 0.25% of the fund’s average weekly net assets. For its fee, USBAM provides numerous services to the funds including, but not limited to, handling the general business affairs, financial and regulatory reporting, and various other services.

Pursuant to a sub-administration agreement between USBAM and NFA, USBAM also pays NFA an annual fee, calculated weekly and paid monthly, equal to 0.10% of the average weekly net assets of each fund for certain administrative and other services that NFA provides to the funds.

Custodian Fees

U.S. Bank serves as each fund’s custodian pursuant to a custodian agreement with the funds. The custodian fee charged to each fund is equal to an annual rate of 0.02% of such fund’s average weekly net assets. These fees are computed weekly and paid monthly.

Under the custodian agreement, interest earned on uninvested cash balances is used 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 will increase the fund’s custodian expenses. For the six-month period ended February 28, 2014, custodian fees for ASP, BSP, CSP, and SLA were increased by $1, $4, $3, and $0 as a result of overdrafts and reduced by $3, $3, $8, and $15, as a result of interest earned, respectively.

Mortgage Servicing Fees

The funds may enter into mortgage servicing agreements with mortgage servicers for whole loans and participation mortgages. For a fee, mortgage servicers maintain loan records, such as insurance and taxes and the proper allocation of payments between principal and interest.

Other Fees and Expenses

In addition to the investment advisory, administrative, custodian, and mortgage servicing fees, the funds are responsible for paying most other operating expenses, including: legal, auditing and accounting services, postage and printing of shareholder reports, transfer agent fees and expenses, listing fees, outside directors’ fees and expenses, insurance, pricing, interest, expenses related to real estate owned, fees to outside parties retained to assist in conducting due diligence, taxes, and other miscellaneous expenses.

Expenses that are directly related to a fund are charged directly to that fund. Other operating expenses of the First American Family of Funds 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.
