Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 13-month reporting period ended November 30, 2003, the fund's Class A, Class B, Class C and Class K shares produced total returns of 13.93%, 12.99%, 13.02% and 13.34%, respectively, based on net asset value.1 These returns were less than the 15.24% total return1 of the Lipper Balanced Funds Average.2
STOCKS
Within the equity portion of the portfolio, we started making moves toward more cyclically oriented names in the third quarter of 2002. We reduced exposure in the Healthcare, Utilities and Energy sectors, putting proceeds into opportunities in the Information Technology and Financials sectors. These moves, which continued consistently throughout the fiscal year, proved to be correct. However, we did not fully participate in the stock market rally. In a market driven predominately by a single factor (i.e., momentum), our fundamental, valuation-driven approach was disadvantaged. Our incremental approach employing a balanced risk/reward methodology did not fare well in a market environment where returns were asymmetrically skewed toward higher risk.
Specifically, while stock selection was strong within the Consumer Staples, Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology sectors, it was offset by lackluster performance within Industrials, Healthcare and Energy. In addition to being overweight in the Telecommunication Services, Energy and underweight Financials sectors limited performance, which was somewhat offset by the fund's overweighted positions in the Industrials, Healthcare and Utilities sectors. The five largest contributors to performance for the reporting period were: Intel Corp., Citigroup, Inc., EMC Corp. MASS, Applied Materials, Inc. and Cisco Systems, Inc. Stocks that detracted most from performance were Schering Plough Corp., UnitedHealth Group, Johnson & Johnson, Merck & Co., Inc., and Lockheed Martin Corp.
1 Performance quoted is based on net asset value, reflects past performance and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns for the period, based on offering price (i.e., less any applicable sales charge), for Class A, Class B and Class C Shares were 7.65%, 8.24% and 11.87%, respectively. No sales charge is applicable to Class K Shares.
2 Lipper figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper, Inc. as falling into the respective category. Lipper returns do not take sales charges into account.
BONDS
The bond portion of the portfolio benefited largely from sector positioning and yield curve positioning, while duration3 and security selection were slight drags on the fund's performance over the past year. For comparison, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index (LBAB)4 had a total return of 4.91% for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2003. We estimate that the bond portion of the fund outperformed the LBAB by approximately 200 basis points, or 2%.
The outperformance came from a heavily overweighted position in corporate bonds, particularly in the non-investment grade portion, i.e., those rated BBB or lower. These types of bonds are more sensitive to changes in the economy and less sensitive to changes in interest rates. As a result, these bonds tend to hold up well even when interest rates are rising in an improving economic environment. Lower-quality corporate bonds, as measured by the Lehman Brothers Corporate B Index,5 had a total return of 15.86% over the past 12 months, while even lower-quality, non-investment grade bonds were up 33.77% over this same period, as measured by the Lehman Brothers High Yield Bond Index.6 For most of the past year, we were approximately neutral on mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities, and underweighted in Treasury and agency issues.
3 Duration is a measure of a securities price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities of shorter durations.
4 LBAB is an unmanaged index composed of securities from the Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index, Mortgage-Backed Securities Index and the Asset-Backed Securities Index. Total return comprises price appreciation/depreciation and income as a percentage of the original investment. Indices are rebalanced monthly by market capitalization.
5 Lehman Brothers Corporate B Index is composed of all bonds covered by Lehman Brothers High Yield Index rated BBB by Moody's Investors Service with a minimum amount outstanding of $100m, and at least one year to maturity. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.
6 Lehman Brothers High Yield Bond Index is an unmanaged index comprising all fixed-income securities having a maximum quality rating of Ba1, a minimum amount outstanding of $100m, and at least one year to maturity. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

For after-tax returns, visit www.federatedinvestors.com. Your investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Mutual funds are not obligations of or guaranteed by any bank and are not federally insured.
1 Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund. The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The S&P 500, LBAB and LBFA have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indexes and average.
2 The S&P 500 and LBAB are not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. The indexes are unmanaged. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
3 The LBFA represents the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper, Inc. as falling into the respective category, and is not adjusted to reflect any sales charges. These total returns are reported net of expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America.
Investment Valuation
U.S. government securities, listed corporate bonds, other fixed income and asset-backed securities, and unlisted securities and private placement securities are generally valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked price as furnished by an independent pricing service. Listed equity securities are valued at the last sale price reported on a national securities exchange. Short-term securities are valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Investments in other open-end regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value. Securities for which no quotations are readily available, or whose values have been affected by a significant event occurring after the close of their primary markets, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Directors (the "Directors").
Repurchase Agreements
It is the policy of the Fund to require the custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or to have segregated within the custodian bank's vault, all securities held as collateral under repurchase agreement transactions. Additionally, procedures have been established by the Fund to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each repurchase agreement's collateral to ensure that the value of collateral at least equals the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement.
The Fund will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by the Fund's adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed or established by the Directors. Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Fund could receive less than the repurchase price on the sale of collateral securities. The Fund, along with other affiliated investment companies, may utilize a joint trading account for the purpose of entering into one or more repurchase agreements.
Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions
Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. The Fund offers multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective transfer and dividend disbursing agent, distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.
Premium and Discount Amortization/Paydown Gains and Losses
All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted. Gains and losses realized on principal payment of mortgage-backed securities (paydown gains and losses) are classified as part of investment income.
Federal Taxes
It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal tax is necessary.
Other Taxes
As an open-end management investment company incorporated in the state of Maryland but domiciled in Pennsylvania, the fund is subject to the Pennsylvania Franchise Tax. This franchise tax is assessed annually on the value of the Fund, as represented by the average net assets for the tax year.
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions
The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. Dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies ("FC") are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of FCs, currency gains or losses realized between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.
Futures Contracts
The Fund purchases stock index futures contracts to manage cashflows, enhance yield, and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a stock index futures contract with a broker, the Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a "variation margin" account. Daily, the Fund receives from or pays to the broker a specified amount of cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss.
Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.
At November 30, 2003, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts as set forth below:
Expiration Date | | Contracts to Receive | | Position | | Unrealized Appreciation |
December 2003 | | 40 S&P 500 Index Futures | | Long | | $328,000 |
|
At October 31, 2003, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts as set forth below:
Expiration Date | | Contracts to Receive | | Position | | Unrealized Appreciation |
December 2003 | | 40 S&P 500 Index Futures | | Long | | $245,000 |
|
Securities Lending
The Fund participates in a securities lending program providing for the lending of corporate bonds, equity and government securities to qualified brokers. Collateral for securities loaned is invested in an affiliated money market fund. Collateral is maintained at a minimum level of 102% of the market value on investments loaned, plus interest, if applicable. Earnings on collateral are allocated between the securities lending agent, as a fee for its services under the program, and the Fund, according to agreed-upon rates.
As of November 30, 2003 and October 31, 2003, the Fund had no securities on loan.
Restricted Securities
Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer's expense either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Directors. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Fund's restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Directors.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.
Other
Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

1 The Fund has changed its fiscal year end from October 31 to November 30. This period represents the one-month period from November 1, 2003 to November 30, 2003.
2 Represents less than $1.
3 Reflects operations for the period from April 8, 2003 (start of performance date) to October 31, 2003.
4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due in part to differing treatments for foreign currency transactions and defaulted bonds.
For the period ended November 30, 2003 and the year ended October 31, 2003, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:
| | Increase (Decrease) |
| | Paid In Capital | | Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss) | | Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) |
November 30, 2003 | | -- | | $ 754 | | $ (754) |
|
October 31, 2003 | | -- | | $71,264 | | $(71,264) |
|
Net investment income, net realized gains (losses), as disclosed on the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.
The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the period ended November 30, 2003 and the years ended October 31, 2003 and 2002 was as follows:
| | Period Ended | | | Year Ended October 31, |
| | 11/30/2003 | | | 2003 | | | 2002 |
Ordinary income1 | | $1,129,057 | | $ | 4,770,224 | | $ | 5,446,342 |
|
1 For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.
As of November 30, 2003 and October 31, 2003, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | 11/30/2003 | | | 10/31/2003 |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 380,021 | | $ | 391,086 |
|
Net unrealized appreciation/depreciation | | $ | 22,883,280 | | $ | 21,139,356 |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | $ | 14,340,401 | | $ | 14,543,434 |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable in part to defaulted bonds and the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
At November 30, 2003, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $303,470,719. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes excluding any unrealized appreciation resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and futures contracts was $22,883,280. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investment for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $31,025,431 and net unrealized depreciation from investment for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $8,142,151.
At October 31, 2003, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $301,374,026. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes excluding any unrealized appreciation resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and futures contracts was $21,119,000. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investment for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $31,706,039 and net unrealized depreciation from investment for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $10,587,039.
At November 30, 2003, and October 31, 2003, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards of $14,340,401 and $14,543,434, respectively, which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows:
November 30, 2003: | | |
Expiration Year | | Expiration Amount |
2008 | | $3,397,314 |
|
2009 | | $9,387,088 |
|
2010 | | $1,555,999 |
|
| | |
October 31, 2003: | | |
Expiration Year | | Expiration Amount |
2009 | | $3,600,347 |
|
2010 | | $ 9,387,088 |
|
2011 | | $1,555,999 |
|

For the year ended October 31, 2003, the fees paid to FServ were $216,849.
Distribution Services Fee
The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. ("FSC"), the principal distributor, from the net assets of the Fund to finance activities intended to result in the sale of the Fund's Shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC.
Share Class Name | | Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class |
Class B Shares | | 0.75% |
Class C Shares | | 0.75% |

For the period ended November 30, 2003 and fiscal year ended October 31, 2003, FSC retained $5,812 and $43,438, respectively, in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. FSC also retained $0 and $1,266, respectively, of contingent deferred sales charges relating to redemptions of Class C Shares. See "What Do Shares Cost?" in the prospectus.
Shareholder Services Fee
Under the terms of a Shareholder Services Agreement with Federated Shareholder Services Company ("FSSC"), the Fund will pay FSSC up to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Fund's Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares for the period. The fee paid to FSSC is used to finance certain services for shareholders and to maintain shareholder accounts. FSSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.
Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses
FServ, through its subsidiary FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund.

FServ may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FServ can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.
Expense Reduction
The Fund directs certain portfolio trades to a broker that in turn pays a portion of the Fund's operating expenses. For the period ended November 30, 2003 and year ended October 31, 2003, the Fund's expenses were reduced by $793 and $2,063, respectively, under these arrangements.

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In October, 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds") were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and will respond appropriately. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. Although Federated does not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from related regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.
8. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
The Fund did not designate any long-term capital gain dividends for the period ended November 30, 2003 and the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003.
Of the ordinary income (including short-term capital gain) distributions made by the Fund during the period ended November 30, 2003, 32.76% qualify for the dividend received deduction to corporate shareholders.
For the period ended November 30, 2003 and fiscal year ended October 31, 2003 certain dividends paid by the Fund may be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15%, as provided for by the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Act of 2003 (the "Tax Relief Act"). The Fund will designate the amount allowable under the Tax Relief Act as subject to such maximum tax rate. Complete information will be reported in conjunction with your 2003 Form 1099-DIV.
Independent Auditors' Report
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED STOCK AND BOND FUND, INC.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Federated Stock and Bond Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") as of November 30, 2003 and October 31, 2003, and the related statement of operations for the period ended November 30, 2003 and the year ended October 31, 2003, the statement of changes in net assets for the period ended November 30, 2003 and the years then ended October 31, 2003 and October 31, 2002 and the financial highlights for the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to provide reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of the securities owned as of November 30, 2003 and October 31, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies from brokers were not received from brokers, we performed other 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 our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of November 30, 2003, and October 31, 2003, the results of its operations for the period ended November 30, 2003, and the year ended October 31, 2003, the changes in net assets for the period ended November 30, 2003, and the years then ended October 31, 2003 and October 31, 2002, and its financial highlights for the respective stated periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
