Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of cost: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2007 to July 31, 2007.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

	Beginning Account Value 2/1/2007	Ending Account Value 7/31/2007	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual:
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,019.50	$6.56
Class C Shares	$1,000	$1,016.00	$10.50
Class K Shares	$1,000	$1,019.30	$8.86
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses):
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,018.30	$6.56
Class C Shares	$1,000	$1,014.38	$10.49
Class K Shares	$1,000	$1,016.02	$8.85

1 Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratios, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The annualized net expense ratios are as follows:

Class A Shares	1.31%
Class C Shares	2.10%
Class K Shares	1.77%

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The fund’s total return for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007 was 14.67% for Class A Shares, 13.81% for Class C Shares and 14.50% for Class K Shares.¹ The total return of the Russell 3000^® Index (Russell 3000^®)² was 16.08% for the same period. The fund’s total return for the fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses which were not reflected in the total return of the Russell 3000.^® The total return of the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index³ was 18.31% for the same period.

1 The fund is the successor to the MDT All Cap Core Fund pursuant to a reorganization that took place on December 8, 2006. Prior to that date, the fund had no investment operations. Accordingly, the performance information provided is historical information of the MDT All Cap Core Fund.

2 The Russell 3000^® Index offers investors access to the broad U.S. equity universe representing approximately 98% of the U.S. market. The Russell 3000 is constructed to provide a comprehensive, unbiased, and stable barometer of the broad market and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

3 Lipper figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. as falling into the respective categories indicated. Lipper figures do not reflect sales charges.

Performance data quoted represents past performance which is no guarantee 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. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than what is stated.

Market Overview

Over the twelve month reporting period ended July 31, 2007, domestic equity markets enjoyed a positive, if somewhat rocky, performance highlighted by a sudden decline in late February and another decline as the reporting period ended in July. The Russell 3000 Index, which represents the performance of the 3000 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization, finished the period up a solid 16.08%. Mid-cap stocks lead the way as demonstrated by the 18.93% return on the Russell Midcap^® Index⁴ which exceeded the 15.48% and 12.12% results for the Russell Top 200^® Index⁵ and the Russell 2000^® Index,⁶ respectively. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks by a wide margin during the year with the Russell 3000^® Growth Index⁷ returning 19.24% as compared to 12.97% for the Russell 3000 Value^® Index.⁸

The best performing sectors during the reporting period in the Russell 3000^® were Materials (up 35.67%), Telecommunication Services (up 30.35%) and Information Technology (up 29.43%). Underperforming sectors included Financials (up just 2.11%, negatively influenced by a disruption in credit markets late in the reporting period), Health Care (up 8.23%) and Consumer Staples (up 11.12%).

4 The Russell Midcap^® Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, which represent approximately 31% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

5 Russell Top 200^® Index measures the performance of the 200 largest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, which represents approximately 69% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

6 The Russell 2000^® Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, which represents approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

7 The Russell 3000^® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000 Growth or the Russell 2000 Growth indexes. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

8 The Russell 3000^® Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000 Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000 Value or the Russell 2000 Value indexes. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

Fund Performance

The most significant positive factor in the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 3000^® Index was its overweight and stock selection in the Energy sector. Additionally, the fund’s stock selection in the Materials and Industrials sectors overcame the fund’s modest underweights in these well-performing sectors to provide modest contributions to relative performance. The most significant negative factor in the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 3000^® was its overweight in the Financials sector. Stock selection in the sector contributed to relative performance but was outpaced by the overweight in this sector which significantly underperformed the benchmark.

Individual stocks contributing to the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 3000^® included: Apple Computer Inc., Schlumberger Limited Ltd., Marathon Oil Corp., Chevron Corp., and Morgan Stanley.

Individual stocks detracting from the performance relative to the Russell 3000^® included: Exxon Mobil Corp., Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., Genentech Inc., Cisco Systems Inc., and Ambac Financial Group.

GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT -- CLASS A SHARES

The graph below illustrates the hypothetical investment of $10,000¹ in the Federated MDT All Cap Core Fund (Class A Shares) (the “Fund”) from October 1, 2002 (start of performance) to July 31, 2007, compared to the Russell 3000 Index (Russell 3000)² and the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index.³

Average Annual Total Returns for the Period Ended 7/31/2007
1 Year	8.37%
Start of Performance (10/1/2002)4	14.29%

Performance data quoted represents past performance which is no guarantee 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. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than what is stated. For current to the most recent month-end performance and after-tax returns, visit FederatedInvestors.com or call 1-800-341-7400. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Mutual funds are not obligations of or guaranteed by any bank and are not federally insured. Total returns shown include the maximum sales charge of 5.50%.

1 Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund after deducting the maximum sales charge of 5.50% ($10,000 investment minus $550 sales charge = $9,450). The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The Russell 3000 and the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indexes.

2 The Russell 3000 is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission requires to be reflected in the Fund’s performance. The index is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

3 Lipper figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. as far as falling into the respected categories indicated. Lipper figures do not reflect sales charges.

4 The start of performance date was October 1, 2002. Class A Shares of the Fund were offered beginning February 12, 2003. Performance results shown before that date are for the Fund’s Institutional Shares and have been adjusted for the maximum sales charge and total annual operating expenses applicable to the Fund’s Class A Shares. The Fund’s Institutional Shares commenced operations on October 1, 2002. The Fund’s Class A Shares annual returns would have been substantially similar to those of the Fund’s Institutional Shares because Shares of each class are invested in the same portfolio of securities.

GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT -- CLASS C SHARES

The graph below illustrates the hypothetical investment of $10,000¹ in the Federated MDT All Cap Core Fund (Class C Shares) (the “Fund”) from October 1, 2002 (start of performance) to July 31, 2007, compared to the Russell 3000 Index (Russell 3000)² and the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index.³

Average Annual Total Returns for the Period Ended 7/31/2007
1 Year	12.81%
Start of Performance (10/1/2002)4	14.78%

Performance data quoted represents past performance which is no guarantee 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. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than what is stated. For current to the most recent month-end performance and after-tax returns, visit FederatedInvestors.com or call 1-800-341-7400. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Mutual funds are not obligations of or guaranteed by any bank and are not federally insured. Total returns shown include the maximum contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1.00%, as applicable.

1 Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund. The maximum CDSC is 1.00% on any redemption less than one year from the purchase date. The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The Russell 3000 and the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indexes.

2 The Russell 3000 is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission requires to be reflected in the Fund’s performance. The index is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

3 Lipper figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. as far as falling into the respected categories indicated. Lipper figures do not reflect sales charges.

4 The start of performance date was October 1, 2002. Class C Shares of the Fund were offered beginning September 15, 2005. Performance results shown before that date are for the Fund’s Institutional Shares and have been adjusted for the maximum CDSC and total annual operating expenses applicable to the Fund’s Class C Shares. The Fund’s Institutional Shares commenced operations on October 1, 2002. The Fund’s Class C Shares annual returns would have been substantially similar to those of the Fund’s Institutional Shares because Shares of each class are invested in the same portfolio of securities.

GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT -- CLASS K SHARES

The graph below illustrates the hypothetical investment of $10,000¹ in the Federated MDT All Cap Core Fund (Class K Shares) (the “Fund”) from October 1, 2002 (start of performance) to July 31, 2007, compared to the Russell 3000 Index (Russell 3000)² and the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index.³

Notes to Financial Statements

July 31, 2007

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated MDT Series (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of eight portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated MDT All Cap Core Fund (the “Fund”), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses. The Fund offers four classes of shares: Institutional Shares, Class A Shares, Class C Shares and Class K Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The financial highlights of the Institutional Shares are presented separately. The primary investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation.

MDT All Cap Core Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into the Fund as of the close of business on December 8, 2006. Prior to the reorganization, the Fund had no investment operations. The Fund is the successor to the Predecessor Fund, which commenced offering Class C Shares on September 15, 2005. The Fund commenced offering Class K Shares on December 12, 2006.

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

Market values of the Fund’s portfolio securities are determined as follows:

• for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available;
• in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;
• for investments in other open-end regulated investment companies, based on net asset value (NAV);
• futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) may determine in good faith that another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value;
• prices for total return swaps are based upon a valuation model determined by management incorporating underlying reference indexes, interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors; prices for credit default swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating default probabilities, recovery rates and other market data or factors; prices for interest rate swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors;
• for mortgage-backed securities, based on the aggregate investment value of the projected cash flows to be generated by the security, as furnished by an independent pricing service;
• for other fixed-income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed-income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost; and
• for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Prices for fixed-income securities furnished by a pricing service may be based on a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Such prices (other than prices of mortgage-backed securities) are generally intended to be indicative of the bid prices currently offered to institutional investors for the securities, except that prices for corporate fixed-income and asset-backed securities traded in the United States are generally intended to be indicative of the mean between such bid prices and asked prices. The Trustees have approved the use of such pricing services. A number of pricing services are available, and the Fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or other financial institutions that trade the securities.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its NAV, the Fund values foreign securities using the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation is done by others under the direction of Fund management. An event is considered material if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value.

Repurchase Agreements

It is the policy of the Fund to require the other party to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Fund holds a “securities entitlement” and exercises “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Fund has established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the other party to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

With respect to agreements to repurchase U.S. government securities and cash items, the Fund treats the repurchase agreement as an investment in the underlying securities and not as an obligation of the other party to the repurchase agreement. Other repurchase agreements are treated as obligations of the other party secured by the underlying securities. Nevertheless, the insolvency of the other party or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Fund to receive less than the full repurchase price. Under the terms of the repurchase agreement, any amounts received by the Fund in excess of the repurchase price and related transaction costs must be remitted to the other party.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in which eligible securities are transferred into joint trading accounts maintained by the custodian or sub-custodian for investment companies and other clients advised by the Fund’s adviser and its affiliates. The Fund will participate on a pro rata basis with the other investment companies and clients in its share of the securities transferred under such repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of such securities.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each Class may bear distribution services fees, shareholder services fees and certain transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees unique to those 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

All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes.

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 income tax is necessary.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Fund 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.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

2 Reflects operations for the period from December 12, 2006 (date of initial public investment) to July 31, 2007.

Redemption Fees

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund imposed a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders of the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares who redeem shares held for 30 days or less. Shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions of the Fund, or purchased pursuant to the Systematic Investment Program or withdrawn pursuant to the Systematic Withdrawal Program, were not subject to the redemption fee. All redemption fees were recorded by the Fund as additions to paid-in-capital.

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 to differing treatments for ordinary losses netted to short-term capital gains.

For the year ended July 31, 2007, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Undistributed Net Investment Income	Accumulated Net Realized Gains
$65,931	$(65,931)

Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), 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 years ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, was as follows:

	2007	2006
Ordinary income1	$4,625,312	$2,698,954
Long-term capital gains	$4,775,850	$2,088,383

1 For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.

As of July 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	21,533,887
Undistributed long-term capital gain	$	7,469,047
Net unrealized appreciation	$	6,687,898

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for the deferral of losses on wash sales.

At July 31, 2007, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $384,862,265. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $6,687,898. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $25,769,623 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $19,081,725.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated MDTA LLC is the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The advisory agreement between the Fund and Adviser provides for an adviser fee equal to 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Under the investment advisory contract, which is subject to annual review by the Trustees, the Adviser will waive all or a portion of the advisory fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes and brokerage commissions) in order to contractually limit the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses to no more than the following annual percentages for certain classes of the Fund based on average daily net assets:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Institutional Shares	1.25%
Class A Shares	1.50%
Class C Shares	2.25%

The Adviser has agreed to keep these contractual limitations in place through December 8, 2008.

In addition, after fulfilling its contractual commitment, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive and/or reimburse any additional portion of its fee.

For a period of three years after the fiscal year in which the Adviser waived or reimbursed Fund expenses, the Adviser could seek reimbursement from the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses are less than the expense limitation. Due to the reorganization of the Fund, expenses can not be recovered by the Adviser after December 8, 2006.

For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser recovered $23,533 of its fee.

Administrative Fee

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement (the “Agreement”), provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of certain Federated funds as specified below:

Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. During the period from July 15, 2006 through December 8, 2006, the administrator contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fee which it would otherwise be entitled to receive from the Fund under the Agreement. The level of fees payable by the Fund to FAS for the period will not exceed the level of fees which the Fund would have paid during the period to its previous service provider under its previous administrative services contract. In addition, FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the net fee paid to FAS was 0.080% of average daily net assets of the Fund. FAS waived $23,220 of its fee.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act which became effective on December 11, 2006. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (FSC), the principal distributor, from the daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares, Class C Shares and Class K Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of up to the following percentages of average daily net assets annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	0.75%
Class K Shares	0.50%

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund incurred distribution expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	1.00%

When FSC receives fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase shares. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $549,412 of fees paid by the Fund.

Sales Charges

For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC, the principal distributor, retained $86,805 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. FSC also retained $9,128 and $17,835 of contingent deferred sales charges relating to redemptions of Class A Shares and Class C Shares, respectively. See “What Do Shares Cost?” in the Prospectus.

Shareholder Services Fee

Effective December 11, 2006, the Fund may pay fees (Service Fees) up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class C Shares to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSSC did not receive any fees paid by the Fund.

Expense Limitation

The Adviser and its affiliates (which may include FSC, FAS and FSSC) have voluntarily agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total operating expenses (including the distribution (12b-1) fee) paid by the Fund’s Class A Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 1.30% for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2008. Although these actions are voluntary, the Adviser and its affiliates have agreed not to terminate these waivers and/or reimbursements until after September 30, 2008.

General

Certain of the Officers and Trustees of the Trust are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.

Transactions with Affiliated Companies

Affiliated holdings are mutual funds which are managed by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund for certain investment adviser fees as a result of transactions in other affiliated mutual funds. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser reimbursed $759 in connection with the affiliated mutual fund listed below. Transactions with the affiliated company during the year ended July 31, 2007 are as follows:

Affiliate	Balance of Shares Held 7/31/2006	Purchases/ Additions	Sales/ Reductions	Balance of Shares Held 7/31/2007	Value	Dividend Income
Prime Value Obligations Fund, Institutional Shares	--	22,219,032	16,302,365	5,916,667	$5,916,667	$49,497

6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations, for the year ended July 31, 2007, were as follows:

Purchases	$	846,242,414
Sales	$	684,919,981

7. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates in a $150,000,000 unsecured, uncommitted revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement with PNC Bank. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 0.65% over the federal funds rate. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

8. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from other participating affiliated funds. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the program was not utilized.

9. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, “Federated”), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated (“Funds”) were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. 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. These lawsuits began to be filed shortly after Federated’s first public announcement that it had received requests for information on shareholder trading activities in the Funds from the SEC, the Office of the New York State Attorney General (“NYAG”), and other authorities. In that regard, on November 28, 2005, Federated announced that it had reached final settlements with the SEC and the NYAG with respect to those matters. As Federated previously reported in 2004, it has already paid approximately $8.0 million to certain funds as determined by an independent consultant. As part of these settlements, Federated agreed to pay for the benefit of fund shareholders additional disgorgement and a civil money penalty in the aggregate amount of an additional $72 million. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and intend to defend this litigation. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these lawsuits, all of which seek unquantified damages, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do 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 the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Recent SEC guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in fund NAV calculations as late as a fund’s last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the Fund will adopt FIN 48 no later than January 31, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

In addition, in September 2006, FASB released Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

11. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

For the year ended July 31, 2007, the amount of long-term capital gains designated by the Fund was $4,775,850.

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007, 30.95% of total income (including short-term capital gain) distributions made by the Fund are qualifying dividends which may be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15%, as provided for by the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Act of 2003. Complete information is reported in conjunction with the reporting of your distributions on Form 1099-DIV.

Of the ordinary income (including short-term capital gain) distributions made by the Fund during the year ended July 31, 2007, 31.67% qualify for the dividend received deduction available to corporate shareholders.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED MDT SERIES AND
SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MDT ALL CAP CORE FUND

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated MDT All Cap Core Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the portfolios constituting Federated MDT Series), including the portfolio of investments, as of July 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein for the years ended July 31, 2007, 2006 and 2003. 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. The financial highlights for each of the two years in the period ended July 31, 2005 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated September 19, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated MDT All Cap Core Fund, a portfolio of Federated MDT Series, at July 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein for the years ended July 31, 2007, 2006 and 2003, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract

FEDERATED MDT ALL CAP CORE FUND (THE “FUND”)

The Fund’s Board reviewed the Fund’s investment advisory contracts at meetings held in May 2007. The Board’s decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

In this connection, the Federated funds had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent written evaluation that covered topics discussed below. The Board considered that evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract.

During its review of the contract, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser. This included the fees received for services provided to the Fund by other entities in the Federated organization and research services received by the Adviser from brokers that execute Federated fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser’s fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the performance of the Fund; the Adviser’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as the Fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant bearing on the Adviser’s services and fees. The Board further considered management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser for what might be viewed as like services, and costs to the Adviser and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit and profit margins of the Adviser and its affiliates from supplying such services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund’s advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by the advice of independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, the Board has requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer’s evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional reports in connection with the particular meeting at which the Board’s formal review of the advisory contract occurred. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board’s consideration of the advisory contract included review of the Senior Officer’s evaluation, accompanying data and additional reports covering such matters as: the Adviser’s investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund’s short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund’s investment objectives; the Fund’s expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund’s portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund’s relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated’s responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board’s evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.

With respect to the Fund’s performance and expenses in particular, the Board has found the use of comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be particularly useful, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because, simply put, they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund’s investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes. The Fund’s ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Fund’s investment program, which in turn assisted the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser’s investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract. In this regard, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated’s fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences included, but are not limited to targeting different investors, being subject to different laws and regulations, different legal structure, distribution costs, average account size and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be significant in determining the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory contracts.

The Senior Officer reviewed reports compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups are highly important in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.

For the periods ending December 31, 2006, the Fund’s performance for the three year period was above the median of the relevant peer group, and the Fund’s performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for the one year period. The Board discussed the Fund’s performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and the performance of the Fund.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including reports on the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. These reports covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated’s subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds’ administrator). The reports also discussed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate.

Federated furnished reports, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund by fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund by fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, although they may apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs (and the unavoidable arbitrary aspects of that exercise) and the lack of consensus on how to allocate those costs may render such allocation reports unreliable. The allocation reports were considered in the analysis by the Board but were determined to be of limited use.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed a report compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer noted the limited availability of such information, but nonetheless concluded that Federated’s profit margins did not appear to be excessive and the Board agreed.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant additional investments in areas such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, compliance, and risk management functions; distribution efforts; and systems technology; that support all of the Federated funds, and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund complex as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which (as discussed in independently prepared materials included in the Senior Officer’s evaluation) is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with “breakpoints” that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size. The Senior Officer did not recommend institution of breakpoints in pricing Federated’s fund advisory services at this time.

For the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, the Fund’s investment advisory fee after waivers and expense reimbursements, if any, was above the median of the relevant peer group. The Board reviewed the fees and other expenses of the Fund with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive. The Board will continue to monitor advisory fees and other expenses borne by the Fund.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation noted his belief that the information and observations contained in his evaluation supported his finding that the proposed management fees are reasonable, and that Federated appeared to provide appropriate administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund’s advisory contract. For 2006, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates were satisfactory.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board’s approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund.

The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board’s decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated’s performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2007 to July 31, 2007.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

	Beginning Account Value 2/1/2007	Ending Account Value 7/31/2007	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual	$1,000	$1,020.60	$5.06
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses)	$1,000	$1,019.79	$5.06

1 Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio of 1.01%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The fund’s total return for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007 was 14.92% for Institutional Shares.¹ The total return of the Russell 3000^® Index (Russell 3000^®)² was 16.08% for the same period. The fund’s total return for the fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses which were not reflected in the total return of the Russell 3000.^® The total return of the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index³ was 18.31% for the same period.

1 The fund is the successor to the MDT All Cap Core Fund pursuant to a reorganization that took place on December 8, 2006. Prior to that date, the fund had no investment operations. Accordingly, the performance information provided is historical information of the MDT All Cap Core Fund.

2 The Russell 3000^® Index offers investors access to the broad U.S. equity universe representing approximately 98% of the U.S. market. The Russell 3000 is constructed to provide a comprehensive, unbiased, and stable barometer of the broad market and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Over the twelve month reporting period ended July 31, 2007, domestic equity markets enjoyed a positive, if somewhat rocky, performance highlighted by a sudden decline in late February and another decline as the reporting period ended in July. The Russell 3000 Index, which represents the performance of the 3000 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization, finished the period up a solid 16.08%. Mid-cap stocks lead the way as demonstrated by the 18.93% return on the Russell Midcap^® Index⁴ which exceeded the 15.48% and 12.12% results for the Russell Top 200^® Index⁵ and the Russell 2000^® Index,⁶ respectively. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks by a wide margin during the year with the Russell 3000^® Growth Index⁷ returning 19.24% as compared to 12.97% for the Russell 3000 Value^® Index.⁸

The best performing sectors during the reporting period in the Russell 3000^® were Materials (up 35.67%), Telecommunication Services (up 30.35%) and Information Technology (up 29.43%). Underperforming sectors included Financials (up just 2.11%, negatively influenced by a disruption in credit markets late in the reporting period), Health Care (up 8.23%) and Consumer Staples (up 11.12%).

4 The Russell Midcap^® Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, which represent approximately 31% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

5 Russell Top 200^® Index measures the performance of the 200 largest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, which represents approximately 69% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

6 The Russell 2000^® Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, which represents approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

7 The Russell 3000^® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000 Growth or the Russell 2000 Growth indexes. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

8 The Russell 3000^® Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000 Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000 Value or the Russell 2000 Value indexes. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

FUND PERFORMANCE

The most significant positive factor in the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 3000^® Index was its overweight and stock selection in the Energy sector. Additionally, the fund’s stock selection in the Materials and Industrials sectors overcame the fund’s modest underweights in these well-performing sectors to provide modest contributions to relative performance. The most significant negative factor in the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 3000^® was its overweight in the Financials sector. Stock selection in the sector contributed to relative performance but was outpaced by the overweight in this sector which significantly underperformed the benchmark.

Individual stocks contributing to the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 3000^® included: Apple Computer Inc., Schlumberger Limited, Marathon Oil Corp., Chevron Corp., and Morgan Stanley.

Individual stocks detracting from the performance relative to the Russell 3000^® included: Exxon Mobil Corp., Merrill Lynch & Co., Genentech Inc., Cisco Systems Inc., and Ambac Financial Group.

1 Year	14.92%
Start of Performance (10/1/2002)	15.91%

Performance data quoted represents past performance which is no guarantee 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. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than what is stated. For current to the most recent month-end performance and after-tax returns, visit FederatedInvestors.com or call 1-800-341-7400. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Mutual funds are not obligations of or guaranteed by any bank and are not federally insured.

1 The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The Russell 3000 and the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indexes.

2 The Russell 3000 is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission requires to be reflected in the Fund’s performance. The index is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

3 Lipper figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. as far as falling into the respected categories indicated. Lipper figures do not reflect sales charges.

Notes to Financial Statements

July 31, 2007

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated MDT Series (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of eight portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated MDT All Cap Core Fund (the “Fund”), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses. The Fund offers four classes of shares: Institutional Shares, Class A Shares, Class C Shares and Class K Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The financial highlights of the Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class K Shares are presented separately. The primary investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation.

MDT All Cap Core Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into the Fund as of the close of business on December 8, 2006. Prior to the reorganization, the Fund had no investment operations. The Fund is the successor to the Predecessor Fund, which commenced offering Class C Shares on September 15, 2005. The Fund commenced offering Class K Shares on December 12, 2006.

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

Market values of the Fund’s portfolio securities are determined as follows:

• for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available;
• in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;
• for investments in other open-end regulated investment companies, based on net asset value (NAV);
• futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) may determine in good faith that another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value;
• prices for total return swaps are based upon a valuation model determined by management incorporating underlying reference indexes, interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors; prices for credit default swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating default probabilities, recovery rates and other market data or factors; prices for interest rate swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors;
• for mortgage-backed securities, based on the aggregate investment value of the projected cash flows to be generated by the security, as furnished by an independent pricing service;
• for other fixed-income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed-income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost; and
• for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Prices for fixed-income securities furnished by a pricing service may be based on a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Such prices (other than prices of mortgage-backed securities) are generally intended to be indicative of the bid prices currently offered to institutional investors for the securities, except that prices for corporate fixed-income and asset-backed securities traded in the United States are generally intended to be indicative of the mean between such bid prices and asked prices. The Trustees have approved the use of such pricing services. A number of pricing services are available, and the Fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or other financial institutions that trade the securities.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its NAV, the Fund values foreign securities using the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation is done by others under the direction of Fund management. An event is considered material if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value.

Repurchase Agreements

It is the policy of the Fund to require the other party to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Fund holds a “securities entitlement” and exercises “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Fund has established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the other party to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

With respect to agreements to repurchase U.S. government securities and cash items, the Fund treats the repurchase agreement as an investment in the underlying securities and not as an obligation of the other party to the repurchase agreement. Other repurchase agreements are treated as obligations of the other party secured by the underlying securities. Nevertheless, the insolvency of the other party or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Fund to receive less than the full repurchase price. Under the terms of the repurchase agreement, any amounts received by the Fund in excess of the repurchase price and related transaction costs must be remitted to the other party.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in which eligible securities are transferred into joint trading accounts maintained by the custodian or sub-custodian for investment companies and other clients advised by the Fund’s adviser and its affiliates. The Fund will participate on a pro rata basis with the other investment companies and clients in its share of the securities transferred under such repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of such securities.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class may bear distribution services fees, shareholder services fees and certain transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees unique to those 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

All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes.

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 income tax is necessary.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Fund 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.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

2 Reflects operations for the period from December 12, 2006 (date of initial public investment) to July 31, 2007.

Redemption Fees

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund imposed a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders of the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares who redeem shares held for 30 days or less. Shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions of the Fund, or purchased pursuant to the Systematic Investment Program or withdrawn pursuant to the Systematic Withdrawal Program, were not subject to the redemption fee. All redemption fees were recorded by the Fund as additions to paid-in-capital.

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 to differing treatments for ordinary losses netted to short-term capital gains.

For the year ended July 31, 2007, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Undistributed Net Investment Income	Accumulated Net Realized Gains
$65,931	$(65,931)

Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), 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 years ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, was as follows:

	2007	2006
Ordinary income1	$4,625,312	$2,698,954
Long-term capital gains	$4,775,850	$2,088,383

1 For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.

As of July 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	21,533,887
Undistributed long-term capital gain	$	7,469,047
Net unrealized appreciation	$	6,687,898

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for the deferral of losses on wash sales.

At July 31, 2007, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $384,862,265. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $6,687,898. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $25,769,623 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $19,081,725.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated MDTA LLC is the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The advisory agreement between the Fund and Adviser provides for an adviser fee equal to 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Under the investment advisory contract, which is subject to annual review by the Trustees, the Adviser will waive all or a portion of the advisory fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes and brokerage commissions) in order to contractually limit the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses to no more than the following annual percentages for certain classes of the Fund based on average daily net assets:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Institutional Shares	1.25%
Class A Shares	1.50%
Class C Shares	2.25%

The Adviser has agreed to keep these contractual limitations in place through December 8, 2008.

In addition, after fulfilling its contractual commitment, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive and/or reimburse any additional portion of its fee.

For a period of three years after the fiscal year in which the Adviser waived or reimbursed Fund expenses, the Adviser could seek reimbursement from the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses are less than the expense limitation. Due to the reorganization of the Fund, expenses can not be recovered by the Adviser after December 8, 2006.

For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser recovered $23,533 of its fee.

Administrative Fee

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement (the “Agreement”), provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of certain Federated funds as specified below:

Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. During the period from July 15, 2006 through December 8, 2006, the administrator contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fee which it would otherwise be entitled to receive from the Fund under the Agreement. The level of fees payable by the Fund to FAS for the period will not exceed the level of fees which the Fund would have paid during the period to its previous service provider under its previous administrative services contract. In addition, FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the net fee paid to FAS was 0.080% of average daily net assets of the Fund. FAS waived $23,220 of its fee.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act which became effective on December 11, 2006. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (FSC), the principal distributor, from the daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares, Class C Shares and Class K Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of up to the following percentages of average daily net assets annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	0.75%
Class K Shares	0.50%

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund incurred distribution expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	1.00%

When FSC receives fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase shares. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $549,412 of fees paid by the Fund.

Sales Charges

For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC, the principal distributor, retained $86,805 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. FSC also retained $9,128 and $17,835 of contingent deferred sales charges relating to redemptions of Class A Shares and Class C Shares, respectively. See “What Do Shares Cost?” in the Prospectus.

Shareholder Services Fee

Effective December 11, 2006, the Fund may pay fees (Service Fees) up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class C Shares to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSSC did not receive any fees paid by the Fund.

Expense Limitation

The Adviser and its affiliates (which may include FSC, FAS and FSSC) have voluntarily agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total operating expenses (including the distribution (12b-1) fee) paid by the Fund’s Class A Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 1.30% for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2008. Although these actions are voluntary, the Adviser and its affiliates have agreed not to terminate these waivers and/or reimbursements until after September 30, 2008.

Purchases	$	846,242,414
Sales	$	684,919,981

7. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates in a $150,000,000 unsecured, uncommitted revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement with PNC Bank. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 0.65% over the federal funds rate. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

8. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from other participating affiliated funds. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the program was not utilized.

9. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, “Federated”), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated (“Funds”) were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. 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. These lawsuits began to be filed shortly after Federated’s first public announcement that it had received requests for information on shareholder trading activities in the Funds from the SEC, the Office of the New York State Attorney General (“NYAG”), and other authorities. In that regard, on November 28, 2005, Federated announced that it had reached final settlements with the SEC and the NYAG with respect to those matters. As Federated previously reported in 2004, it has already paid approximately $8.0 million to certain funds as determined by an independent consultant. As part of these settlements, Federated agreed to pay for the benefit of fund shareholders additional disgorgement and a civil money penalty in the aggregate amount of an additional $72 million. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and intend to defend this litigation. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these lawsuits, all of which seek unquantified damages, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do 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 the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Recent SEC guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in fund NAV calculations as late as a fund’s last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the Fund will adopt FIN 48 no later than January 31, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

In addition, in September 2006, FASB released Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

11. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

For the year ended July 31, 2007 the amount of long-term capital gains designated by the Fund was $4,775,850.

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007, 30.95% of total income (including short-term capital gain) distributions made by the Fund are qualifying dividends which may be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15%, as provided for by the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Act of 2003. Complete information is reported in conjunction with the reporting of your distributions on Form 1099-DIV.

Of the ordinary income (including short-term capital gain) distributions made by the Fund during the year ended July 31, 2007, 31.67% qualify for the dividend received deduction available to corporate shareholders.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED MDT SERIES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MDT ALL CAP CORE FUND

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated MDT All Cap Core Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the portfolios constituting Federated MDT Series), including the portfolio of investments, as of July 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein for the years ended July 31, 2007, 2006 and 2003. 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. The financial highlights for each of the two years in the period ended July 31, 2005 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated September 19, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated MDT All Cap Core Fund, a portfolio of Federated MDT Series, at July 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein for the years ended July 31, 2007, 2006 and 2003, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract

FEDERATED MDT ALL CAP CORE FUND (THE “FUND”)

The Fund’s Board reviewed the Fund’s investment advisory contracts at meetings held in May 2007. The Board’s decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

In this connection, the Federated funds had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent written evaluation that covered topics discussed below. The Board considered that evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract.

During its review of the contract, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser. This included the fees received for services provided to the Fund by other entities in the Federated organization and research services received by the Adviser from brokers that execute Federated fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser’s fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the performance of the Fund; the Adviser’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as the Fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant bearing on the Adviser’s services and fees. The Board further considered management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser for what might be viewed as like services, and costs to the Adviser and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit and profit margins of the Adviser and its affiliates from supplying such services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund’s advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by the advice of independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, the Board has requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer’s evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional reports in connection with the particular meeting at which the Board’s formal review of the advisory contract occurred. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board’s consideration of the advisory contract included review of the Senior Officer’s evaluation, accompanying data and additional reports covering such matters as: the Adviser’s investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund’s short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund’s investment objectives; the Fund’s expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund’s portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund’s relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated’s responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board’s evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.

With respect to the Fund’s performance and expenses in particular, the Board has found the use of comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be particularly useful, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because, simply put, they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund’s investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes. The Fund’s ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Fund’s investment program, which in turn assisted the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser’s investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract. In this regard, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated’s fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences included, but are not limited to targeting different investors, being subject to different laws and regulations, different legal structure, distribution costs, average account size and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be significant in determining the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory contracts.

The Senior Officer reviewed reports compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups are highly important in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.

For the periods ending December 31, 2006, the Fund’s performance for the three year period was above the median of the relevant peer group, and the Fund’s performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for the one year period. The Board discussed the Fund’s performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and the performance of the Fund.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including reports on the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. These reports covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated’s subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds’ administrator). The reports also discussed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate.

Federated furnished reports, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund by fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund by fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, although they may apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs (and the unavoidable arbitrary aspects of that exercise) and the lack of consensus on how to allocate those costs may render such allocation reports unreliable. The allocation reports were considered in the analysis by the Board but were determined to be of limited use.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed a report compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer noted the limited availability of such information, but nonetheless concluded that Federated’s profit margins did not appear to be excessive and the Board agreed.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant additional investments in areas such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, compliance, and risk management functions; distribution efforts; and systems technology; that support all of the Federated funds, and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund complex as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which (as discussed in independently prepared materials included in the Senior Officer’s evaluation) is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with “breakpoints” that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size. The Senior Officer did not recommend institution of breakpoints in pricing Federated’s fund advisory services at this time.

For the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, the Fund’s investment advisory fee after waivers and expense reimbursements, if any, was above the median of the relevant peer group. The Board reviewed the fees and other expenses of the Fund with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive. The Board will continue to monitor advisory fees and other expenses borne by the Fund.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation noted his belief that the information and observations contained in his evaluation supported his finding that the proposed management fees are reasonable, and that Federated appeared to provide appropriate administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund’s advisory contract. For 2006, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates were satisfactory.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board’s approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund.

The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2007 to July 31, 2007.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

	Beginning Account Value 2/1/2007	Ending Account Value 7/31/2007	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual:
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,013.30	$6.94
Class C Shares	$1,000	$1,009.70	$10.71
Class K Shares	$1,000	$1,012.50	$9.43
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses):
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,017.90	$6.95
Class C Shares	$1,000	$1,014.13	$10.74
Class K Shares	$1,000	$1,015.42	$9.44

1 Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratios, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The annualized net expense ratios are as follows:

Class A Shares	1.39%
Class C Shares	2.15%
Class K Shares	1.89%

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

For the reporting period ending July 31, 2007 the fund’s Class A, Class C and Class K Shares produced total returns of 10.39%, 9.50% and 10.18%, respectively, at net asset value.¹ The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index² and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index³ returned 16.13% and 5.58%, respectively, while the Lipper Balanced Fund Index returned 12.90%.⁴

MARKET OVERVIEW

Over the twelve month reporting period ended July 31, 2007, domestic equity markets enjoyed a positive, if somewhat rocky, performance highlighted by a sudden decline in late February and another decline as the reporting period ended in July. The Russell 3000 Index,⁵ which represents the performance of the 3000 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization, finished the period up a solid 16.08%. Mid-cap stocks lead the way as demonstrated by the 18.93% return on the Russell Midcap^® Index,⁶ which exceeded the 15.48% and 12.12% results

1 The fund is the successor to the MDT Balanced Fund pursuant to a reorganization that took place on December 8, 2006. Prior to that date, the fund had no investment operations. Accordingly, the performance information provided is historical information of the MDT Balanced Fund.

2 The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries.

3 The Lehman Brother Aggregate Bond Index 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.

4 The Lipper Balanced Fund Index represents the total returns of the funds in the indicated category, as defined by Lipper, Inc. The index is unmanaged, and investments cannot be made in an index.

5 The Russell 3000^® Index offers investors access to the broad U.S. equity universe representing approximately 98% of the U.S. market. The Russell 3000 is constructed to provide a comprehensive, unbiased, and stable barometer of the broad market and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected.

6 The Russell Midcap^® Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, which represent approximately 31% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

for the Russell Top 200^® Index⁷ and the Russell 2000^® Index,⁸ respectively. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks by a wide margin during the year with the Russell 3000^® Growth Index⁹ returning 19.24% as compared to 12.97% for the Russell 3000 Value^® Index.¹⁰

The best performing sectors during the reporting period in the Russell 3000^® were Materials (up 35.67%), Telecommunication Services (up 30.35%) and Information Technology (up 29.43%). Underperforming sectors included Financials (up just 2.11%, negatively influenced by a disruption in credit markets late in the reporting period), Health Care (up 8.23%) and Consumer Staples (up 11.12%).

Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) performance suffered late in the period as a combination of profit taking within the sector and uncertainty regarding the availability of credit -- a key ingredient to the merger and acquisition activity that has fueled property valuations - -- led to a significant decline. The S&P REIT Index¹¹ finished the period up 0.99%.

International equities outperformed the domestic market, benefiting from strong international economic growth and a general decline in the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies. Developed markets, as represented by the MSCI EAFE Index,¹² performed well returning 23.91%, while emerging market returns were even better with the MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index¹³ up 50.26%.

7 Russell Top 200^® Index measures the performance of the 200 largest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, which represents approximately 69% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

8 The Russell 2000^® Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, which represents approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

9 The Russell 3000^® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000 Growth or the Russell 2000 Growth indexes. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

10 The Russell 3000^® Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000 Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000 Value or the Russell 2000 Value indexes. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

11 The S&P REIT Index tracks the market performance of U.S. Real Estate Investment Trusts, known as REITs. It consists of 100 REITs chosen for their liquidity and importance in representing a diversified real estate portfolio.

12 The MSCI EAFE Index measures international equity performance. It comprises 21 MSCI country indices, representing the developed markets outside of North America.

13 The MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index is an unmanaged index reflecting approximately 60% of the market capitalization, by industry, in each of 26 emerging market countries.

In the bond market, volatility picked up considerably despite the Federal Reserve Board leaving interest rates unchanged. There has been a bit of a tug of war as the subprime-lending scare and worries of a credit crunch depressed U.S. interest rates. On the other hand, concerns about inflation and strong global economic growth and higher interest rates abroad put upward pressure on interest rates. There is considerable uncertainty as to the extent to which the troubles in the housing market will bleed over into other parts of the economy thus slowing the prospects for economic growth. Short-term interest rates were flat over the past 12 months while intermediate and longer-term rates fell modestly. The average yield of the Lehman Aggregate stood at 5.57% on July 31, 2007, virtually unchanged from 12 months earlier at 5.61%.

Asset Allocation

During the reporting period, equity investments accounted for an average of approximately 63% of the portfolio while fixed income and cash averaged 37%. Within the equity allocation, investments in REITs hurt relative results as the sector underperformed the broader equity market, while the allocation to international equities helped results as these investments outperformed the domestic markets.¹⁴ Fixed income performance trailed the equity allocation’s results, but provided a valuable element of stability during the equity market’s volatility late in the period.¹⁵

Equities

Domestic equity investments, which are managed under our proprietary Optimum Q -- All Cap Core Strategy, underperformed their benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index. Investments in the Energy sector provided the most significant positive contribution to relative performance. The most significant negative contributors to relative performance were an overweight to the Financial sector, which underperformed, and an underweight to companies in the Telecommunication Services sector, which outperformed.

International investments slightly underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index overall, largely because the allocation to this category was increased towards the second half of the period when performance was not quite as strong. A new allocation to emerging market equities late in the period contributed positively to relative performance.

14 International investing involves special risks including currency risk, increased volatility of foreign securities, political risks, and differences in auditing and other financial standards. Prices of emerging markets securities can be significantly more volatile than the prices of securities in developed countries.

15 Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates and a rise in interest rates can cause a decline in their prices.

REIT investments did well relative to the S&P REIT Index, but trailed the broader market as the sector underperformed. The allocation to REITS was reduced beginning in late February as support for the sector was clearly deteriorating and uncertainty in credit markets was hurting valuations. The allocation was ultimately cut to slightly more than 2% of the portfolio, the smallest in the history of the fund. This change was fortuitous as REIT valuations declined significantly through the end of the period.

Fixed Income

The bond portion of the fund underperformed its benchmark (the Lehman Aggregate), however evaluating fixed income results in isolation can be misleading since this allocation is managed in the context of the broader fund. For example, fixed income performance was hurt by a short duration position (reduced exposure to interest rate risk) during the latter part of 2006. At this time the fund’s investments in financial stocks, which can carry significant interest rate exposure, rallied strongly. By reducing the interest rate exposure in the portfolio’s bond investments, we were comfortable maintaining a significant position in financials and the fund’s overall performance benefited. Through the first seven months of 2007 we managed the bond portion of the fund more traditionally and it has modestly outperformed its benchmark with security selection and duration positioning in particular contributing positively to relative performance.¹⁶

16 Duration is a measure of a security’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities of shorter durations.

GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT -- CLASS A SHARES

The graph below illustrates the hypothetical investment of $10,000¹ in the Federated MDT Balanced Fund (Class A Shares) (the “Fund”) from October 1, 2002 (start of performance) to July 31, 2007, compared to the Standard and Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500),² the Lipper Balanced Fund Index (LBFI)³ and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index (LBAB).²

1 Year	4.31%
Start of Performance (10/1/2002)4	11.33%

Performance data quoted represents past performance which is no guarantee 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. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than what is stated. For current to the most recent month-end performance and after-tax returns, visit FederatedInvestors.com or call 1-800-341-7400. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Mutual funds are not obligations of or guaranteed by any bank and are not federally insured. Total returns shown include the maximum sales charge of 5.50%.

1 Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund after deducting the maximum sales charge of 5.50% ($10,000 investment minus $550 sales charge = $9,450). The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The S&P 500, LBAB and the LBFI have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indexes.

2 The S&P 500 and the LBAB are not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires to be reflected in the Fund’s performance. The indexes are unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, are not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Performance results shown before that date are for the Fund’s Institutional Shares and have been adjusted for the maximum sales charge and total annual operating expenses applicable to the Fund’s Class A Shares. The Fund’s Institutional Shares commenced operations on October 1, 2002. The Fund’s Class A Shares annual returns would have been substantially similar to those of the Fund’s Institutional Shares because Shares of each class are invested in the same portfolio of securities.

2 Also includes $2,318,458 held in U.S. Treasuries pledged as collateral to ensure the Fund is able to satisfy the obligations of its outstanding long futures contracts.

3 Cash Equivalents include any investments in money market mutual funds and/or overnight repurchase agreements.

Notes to Financial Statements

July 31, 2007

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated MDT Series (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of eight portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated MDT Balanced Fund (the “Fund”), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses. The Fund offers four classes of shares: Institutional Shares, Class A Shares, Class C Shares and Class K Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The financial highlights of the Institutional Shares are presented separately. The primary investment objective of the Fund is long-term growth through capital appreciation and current income.

MDT Balanced Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into the Fund as of the close of business on December 8, 2006. Prior to the reorganization, the Fund had no investment operations. The Fund is the successor to the Predecessor Fund, which commenced offering Class A Shares and Class C Shares on September 15, 2005.

The Fund commenced offering Class K Shares on December 12, 2006.

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

Market values of the Fund’s portfolio securities are determined as follows:

• for equity securities including Exchange Traded Funds, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available;
• in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;
• futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) may determine in good faith that another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value;
• prices for total return swaps are based upon a valuation model determined by management incorporating underlying reference indexes, interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors; prices for credit default swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating default probabilities, recovery rates and other market data or factors; prices for interest rate swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors;
• for mortgage-backed securities, based on the aggregate investment value of the projected cash flows to be generated by the security, as furnished by an independent pricing service;
• for investments in other open-end registered investment companies, based on net asset value (NAV);
• for other fixed-income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed-income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost; and
• for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Prices for fixed-income securities furnished by a pricing service may be based on a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Such prices (other than prices of mortgage-backed securities) are generally intended to be indicative of the bid prices currently offered to institutional investors for the securities, except that prices for corporate fixed-income and asset-backed securities traded in the United States are generally intended to be indicative of the mean between such bid prices and asked prices. The Trustees have approved the use of such pricing services. A number of pricing services are available, and the Fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or other financial institutions that trade the securities.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its NAV, the Fund values foreign securities using the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation is done by others under the direction of Fund management. An event is considered material if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value.

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund may invest in portfolios of Federated Core Trust, (Core Trust) which is managed by Federated Investment Management Company, the Fund’s adviser. Core Trust is an open-end management company, registered under the Act, available only to registered investment companies and other institutional investors. The investment objective of High Yield Bond Portfolio, a series of Core Trust, is to seek high current income by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of lower rated fixed-income securities. The investment objective of Federated Mortgage Core Portfolio, a series of Core Trust, is to achieve total return on assets. Federated receives no advisory or administrative fees on behalf of Core Trust. Income distributions from Core Trust are declared daily and paid monthly, and are recorded by the Fund as dividend income. Capital gain distributions, if any, from Core Trust are declared and paid annually, and are recorded by the Fund as capital gains. The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Core Trust. A copy of the Core Trust’s financial statements is available on the EDGAR Database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, at the Commission’s public reference room in Washington, DC or upon request from the Fund by calling 1-800-341-7400.

The Fund may also invest in portfolios of Federated Core Trust II (Core Trust II), pursuant to a separate Exemptive Order issued by the SEC. Core Trust II is independently managed by Federated Investment Counseling. Core Trust II is a limited partnership established under the laws of the state of Delaware, on November 13, 2000, registered under the Act, and offered only to registered investment companies and other accredited investors. The investment objective of Emerging Markets Fixed Income Core Fund (EMCORE), a series of Core Trust II, is to achieve total return on assets. Federated receives no advisory or administrative fees on behalf of the Core Trust II. The Fund records daily its proportionate share of income, expenses, unrealized gains and losses from EMCORE. The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the portfolio. A copy of EMCORE’s financial statements is available on the EDGAR Database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, at the Commission’s public reference room in Washington, DC or upon request from the Fund by calling 1-800-341-7400.

Repurchase Agreements

It is the policy of the Fund to require the other party to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Fund holds a “securities entitlement” and exercises “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Fund has established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the other party to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

With respect to agreements to repurchase U.S. government securities and cash items, the Fund treats the repurchase agreement as an investment in the underlying securities and not as an obligation of the other party to the repurchase agreement. Other repurchase agreements are treated as obligations of the other party secured by the underlying securities. Nevertheless, the insolvency of the other party or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Fund to receive less than the full repurchase price. Under the terms of the repurchase agreement, any amounts received by the Fund in excess of the repurchase price and related transaction costs must be remitted to the other party.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in which eligible securities are transferred into joint trading accounts maintained by the custodian or sub-custodian for investment companies and other clients advised by the Fund’s adviser and its affiliates. The Fund will participate on a pro rata basis with the other investment companies and clients in its share of the securities transferred under such repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of such securities.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Inflation/deflation adjustments on Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities are included in interest income. Distributions of net investment income are declared and paid annually. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class may bear distribution services fees, shareholder services fees and certain transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees unique to those 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 on fixed-income securities, other than mortgage-backed securities, are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes. 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 income tax is necessary.

Withholding taxes and where appropriate, deferred withholding taxes on foreign interest, dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Fund 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.

Futures Contracts

The Fund purchases and sells financial futures contracts to manage cashflows, enhance yield and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a financial 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 the changes in the value of the underlying securities. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Fund had net realized gains on futures contracts of $98,773.

Futures contracts outstanding at period end are listed after the Fund’s portfolio of investments.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

The Fund may enter into foreign exchange contracts for the delayed delivery of securities or foreign currency exchange transactions. The Fund may enter into foreign exchange contracts to protect assets against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations. Purchased contracts are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, whereas, contracts to sell are used to hedge the Fund’s securities against currency fluctuations. Risks may arise upon entering into these transactions from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their commitments and from unanticipated movements in security prices or foreign exchange rates. The foreign exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the settlement date.

Foreign exchange contracts outstanding at period end are listed after the Fund’s portfolio of investments.

Foreign Currency Translation

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (FCs) are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rates 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 trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference 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.

Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are securities that either: (a) cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, or being able to take advantage of an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933; or (b) are subject to contractual restrictions on public sales. In some cases, when a security cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, the issuer of the restricted security 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 such restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Fund’s Trustees. 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 accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

Redemption Fees

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund imposed a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders of the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares who redeem shares held for 30 days or less. Shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions of the Fund, or purchased pursuant to the Systematic Investment Program or withdrawn pursuant to the Systematic Withdrawal Program, were not subject to the redemption fee. All redemption fees were recorded by the Fund as additions to paid-in-capital.

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 to differing treatments for REITS and partnership income.

For the year ended July 31, 2007, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Paid-In Capital	Undistributed Net Investment Income	Accumulated Net Realized Gains
$365	$(92,804)	$92,439

Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), 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 years ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, was as follows:

	2007	2006
Ordinary income1	$3,667,344	$2,863,368
Long-term capital gains	$3,685,887	$3,065,795

1 For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.

As of July 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	5,960,881
Undistributed long-term capital gain	$	3,380,432
Net unrealized appreciation	$	5,411,743

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for the deferral of losses on wash sales, deferral of paydowns and REIT adjustments and partnership investments.

At July 31, 2007, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $142,664,681. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $5,411,743. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $9,766,020 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $4,354,277.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated MDTA LLC is the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The advisory agreement between the Fund and Adviser provides for an annual fee equal to 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Under the investment advisory contract, which is subject to annual review by the Trustees, the Adviser will waive all or a portion of the advisory fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes and brokerage commissions) in order to contractually limit the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses to no more than the following annual percentages for certain Classes of the Fund based on average daily net assets:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Institutional Shares	1.25%
Class A Shares	1.50%
Class C Shares	2.25%

The Adviser has agreed to keep these contractual limitations in place through December 8, 2008.

In addition, after fulfilling its contractual commitment, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive and/or reimburse any additional portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser waived $95,564 of its fee. An affiliate of the Adviser reimbursed $12,494 of transfer and dividend disbursing agent recordkeeping fees.

Administrative Fee

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement (the “Agreement”), provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of certain Federated funds as specified below:

Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. During the period from July 15, 2006 through December 8, 2006, the administrator contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fee which it would otherwise be entitled to receive from the Fund under the Agreement. The level of fees payable by the Fund to FAS for the period will not exceed the level of fees which the Fund would have paid during the period to its previous service provider under its previous administrative services contract. In addition, FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the net fee paid to FAS was 0.134% of average daily net assets of the Fund. FAS waived $85,184 of its fee.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, which became effective December 11, 2006. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (FSC), the principal distributor, from the daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares, Class C Shares and Class K Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of up to the following percentages of average daily net assets annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	0.75%
Class K Shares	0.50%

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund incurred distribution expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	1.00%

When FSC receives fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase shares. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $74,254 of fees paid by the Fund.

Sales Charges

For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $36,549 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. FSC also retained $4,565 of contingent deferred sales charges relating to redemptions of Class C Shares. See “What Do Shares Cost?” in the Prospectus.

Shareholder Services Fee

Effective December 11, 2006, the Fund may pay fees (Service Fees) up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class C Shares to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. FSSC may voluntarily reimburse the Fund for shareholder services fees and/or other operating expenses of the Fund. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSSC did not receive any fees paid by the Fund.

Expense Limitation

The Adviser and its affiliates (which may include FSC, FAS and FSSC) have voluntarily agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total operating expenses (including the distribution (12b-1) fee) paid by the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares, Class C Shares and Class K Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 1.15%, 1.40%, 2.15% and 1.90%, respectively, for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2008. Although these actions are voluntary, the Adviser and its affiliates have agreed not to terminate these waivers and/or reimbursements until after September 30, 2008.

General

Certain of the Officers and Trustees of the Trust are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.

Transactions with Affiliated Companies

6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases	$	246,671,433
Sales	$	187,623,125

7. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates in a $150,000,000 unsecured, uncommitted revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement with PNC Bank. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 0.65% over the federal funds rate. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

8. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from other participating affiliated funds. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the program was not utilized.

9. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, “Federated”), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated (“Funds”) were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. 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. These lawsuits began to be filed shortly after Federated’s first public announcement that it had received requests for information on shareholder trading activities in the Funds from the SEC, the Office of the New York State Attorney General (“NYAG”), and other authorities. In that regard, on November 28, 2005, Federated announced that it had reached final settlements with the SEC and the NYAG with respect to those matters. As Federated previously reported in 2004, it has already paid approximately $8.0 million to certain funds as determined by an independent consultant. As part of these settlements, Federated agreed to pay for the benefit of fund shareholders additional disgorgement and a civil money penalty in the aggregate amount of an additional $72 million. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and intend to defend this litigation. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these lawsuits, all of which seek unquantified damages, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do 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 the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Recent SEC guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in fund NAV calculations as late as a fund’s last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the Fund will adopt FIN 48 no later than January 31, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.In addition, in September 2006, FASB released Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

11. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

For the year ended July 31, 2007, the amount of long-term capital gains designated by the Fund was $3,685,887.

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007, 20.35% of total income (including short-term capital gain) distributions made by the Fund are qualifying dividends which may be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15%, as provided for by the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Act of 2003. Complete information is reported in conjunction with the reporting of your distributions on Form 1099-DIV.

Of the ordinary income (including short-term capital gain) distributions made by the Fund during the year ended July 31, 2007, 18.35% qualify for the dividend received deduction available to corporate shareholders.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED MDT SERIES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MDT BALANCED FUND

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated MDT Balanced Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the portfolios constituting Federated MDT Series), including the portfolio of investments, as of July 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein for the years ended July 31, 2007, 2006 and 2003. 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. The financial highlights for each of the two years in the period ended July 31, 2005 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated September 19, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated MDT Balanced Fund, a portfolio of Federated MDT Series, at July 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein for the years ended July 31 2007, 2006 and 2003, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract

FEDERATED MDT BALANCED FUND (THE “FUND”)

The Fund’s Board reviewed the Fund’s investment advisory contract at meetings held in May 2007. The Board’s decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

In this connection, the Federated funds had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent written evaluation that covered topics discussed below. The Board considered that evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract.

During its review of the contract, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser. This included the fees received for services provided to the Fund by other entities in the Federated organization and research services received by the Adviser from brokers that execute Federated fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser’s fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the performance of the Fund; the Adviser’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as the Fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant bearing on the Adviser’s services and fees. The Board further considered management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser for what might be viewed as like services, and costs to the Adviser and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit and profit margins of the Adviser and its affiliates from supplying such services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund’s advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by the advice of independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, the Board has requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer’s evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional reports in connection with the particular meeting at which the Board’s formal review of the advisory contract occurred. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board’s consideration of the advisory contract included review of the Senior Officer’s evaluation, accompanying data and additional reports covering such matters as: the Adviser’s investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund’s short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund’s investment objectives; the Fund’s expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund’s portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund’s relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated’s responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board’s evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.

With respect to the Fund’s performance and expenses in particular, the Board has found the use of comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be particularly useful, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because, simply put, they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund’s investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes. The Fund’s ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Fund’s investment program, which in turn assisted the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser’s investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract. In this regard, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated’s fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences included, but are not limited to targeting different investors, being subject to different laws and regulations, different legal structure, distribution costs, average account size and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be significant in determining the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory contracts.

The Senior Officer reviewed reports compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups are highly important in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.

For the periods ending December 31, 2006, the Fund’s performance for the three year period was above the median of the relevant peer group, and the Fund’s performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for the one year period. The Board discussed the Fund’s performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and the performance of the Fund.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including reports on the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. These reports covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated’s subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds’ administrator). The reports also discussed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate.

Federated furnished reports, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund by fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund by fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, although they may apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs (and the unavoidable arbitrary aspects of that exercise) and the lack of consensus on how to allocate those costs may render such allocation reports unreliable. The allocation reports were considered in the analysis by the Board but were determined to be of limited use.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed a report compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer noted the limited availability of such information, but nonetheless concluded that Federated’s profit margins did not appear to be excessive and the Board agreed.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant additional investments in areas such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, compliance, and risk management functions; distribution efforts; and systems technology; that support all of the Federated funds, and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund complex as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which (as discussed in independently prepared materials included in the Senior Officer’s evaluation) is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with “breakpoints” that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size. The Senior Officer did not recommend institution of breakpoints in pricing Federated’s fund advisory services at this time.

For the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, the Fund’s investment advisory fee after waivers and expense reimbursements, if any, was below the median of the relevant peer group. The Board reviewed the fees and other expenses of the Fund with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation noted his belief that the information and observations contained in his evaluation supported his finding that the proposed management fees are reasonable, and that Federated appeared to provide appropriate administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund’s advisory contract. For 2006, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates were satisfactory.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board’s approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund.

The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board’s decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated’s performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

1 MDT Balanced Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into Federated MDT Balanced Fund (the “Fund”) as of the close of business on December 8, 2006. Prior to the reorganization, the Fund had no investment operations. The Fund is the successor to the Predecessor Fund. The performance information and financial information presented incorporates the operations of the Predecessor Fund, which, as a result of the reorganization, are the Fund’s operations.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2007 to July 31, 2007.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

	Beginning Account Value 2/1/2007	Ending Account Value 7/31/2007	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual	$1,000	$1,014.00	$5.69
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses)	$1,000	$1,019.14	$5.71

1 Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio of 1.14%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

For the reporting period ending July 31, 2007 the fund’s Institutional Shares produced total returns of 10.61%, at net asset value.¹ The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index² and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index³ returned 16.13% and 5.58%, respectively, while the Lipper Balanced Fund Index returned 12.90%.⁴

1 The fund is the successor to the MDT Balanced Fund pursuant to a reorganization that took place on December 8, 2006. Prior to that date, the fund had no investment operations. Accordingly, the performance information provided is historical information of the MDT Balanced Fund.

2 The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries.

3 The Lehman Brother Aggregate Bond Index 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.

4 The Lipper Balanced Fund Index represents the total returns of the funds in the indicated category, as defined by Lipper, Inc.

Performance data quoted represents past performance which is no guarantee 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.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Over the twelve month reporting period ended July 31, 2007, domestic equity markets enjoyed a positive, if somewhat rocky, performance highlighted by a sudden decline in late February and another decline as the reporting period ended in July. The Russell 3000 Index,⁵ which represents the performance of the 3000 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization, finished the period up a solid 16.08%. Mid-cap stocks lead the way as demonstrated by the 18.93% return on the Russell Midcap^® Index,⁶ which exceeded the 15.48% and 12.12% results for the Russell Top 200^® Index⁷ and the Russell 2000^® Index,⁸ respectively. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks by a wide margin during the year with the Russell 3000^® Growth Index⁹ returning 19.24% as compared to 12.97% for the Russell 3000 Value^® Index.¹⁰

The best performing sectors during the reporting period in the Russell 3000^® were Materials (up 35.67%), Telecommunication Services (up 30.35%) and Information Technology (up 29.43%). Underperforming sectors included Financials (up just 2.11%, negatively influenced by a disruption in credit markets late in the reporting period), Health Care (up 8.23%) and Consumer Staples (up 11.12%).

5 The Russell 3000^® Index offers investors access to the broad U.S. equity universe representing approximately 98% of the U.S. market. The Russell 3000 is constructed to provide a comprehensive, unbiased, and stable barometer of the broad market and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected.

6 The Russell Midcap^® Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, which represent approximately 31% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

7 Russell Top 200^® Index measures the performance of the 200 largest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, which represents approximately 69% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

8 The Russell 2000^® Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, which represents approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

9 The Russell 3000^® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000 Growth or the Russell 2000 Growth indexes. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

10 The Russell 3000^® Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000 Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000 Value or the Russell 2000 Value indexes. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) performance suffered late in the period as a combination of profit taking within the sector and uncertainty regarding the availability of credit -- a key ingredient to the merger and acquisition activity that has fueled property valuations - -- led to a significant decline. The S&P REIT Index¹¹ finished the period up 0.99%.

International equities outperformed the domestic market, benefiting from strong international economic growth and a general decline in the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies. Developed markets, as represented by the MSCI EAFE Index,¹² performed well returning 23.91%, while emerging market returns were even better with the MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index¹³ up 50.26%.

In the bond market, volatility picked up considerably despite the Federal Reserve Board leaving interest rates unchanged. There has been a bit of a tug of war as the subprime-lending scare and worries of a credit crunch depressed U.S. interest rates. On the other hand, concerns about inflation and strong global economic growth and higher interest rates abroad put upward pressure on interest rates. There is considerable uncertainty as to the extent to which the troubles in the housing market will bleed over into other parts of the economy thus slowing the prospects for economic growth. Short-term interest rates were flat over the past 12 months while intermediate and longer-term rates fell modestly. The average yield of the Lehman Aggregate stood at 5.57% on July 31, 2007, virtually unchanged from 12 months earlier at 5.61%.

11 The S&P REIT Index tracks the market performance of U.S. Real Estate Investment Trusts, known as REITs. It consists of 100 REITs chosen for their liquidity and importance in representing a diversified real estate portfolio.

12 The MSCI EAFE Index measures international equity performance. It comprises 21 MSCI country indices, representing the developed markets outside of North America.

13 The MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index is an unmanaged index reflecting approximately 60% of the market capitalization, by industry, in each of 26 emerging market countries.

ASSET ALLOCATION

During the reporting period, equity investments accounted for an average of approximately 63% of the portfolio while fixed income and cash averaged 37%. Within the equity allocation, investments in REITs hurt relative results as the sector underperformed the broader equity market, while the allocation to international equities helped results as these investments outperformed the domestic markets.¹⁴ Fixed income performance trailed the equity allocation’s results, but provided a valuable element of stability during the equity market’s volatility late in the period.¹⁵

Equities

Domestic equity investments, which are managed under our proprietary Optimum Q -- All Cap Core Strategy, underperformed their benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index. Investments in the Energy sector provided the most significant positive contribution to relative performance. The most significant negative contributors to relative performance were an overweight to the Financial sector, which underperformed, and an underweight to companies in the Telecommunication Services sector, which outperformed.

International investments slightly underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index overall, largely because the allocation to this category was increased towards the second half of the period when performance was not quite as strong. A new allocation to emerging market equities late in the period contributed positively to relative performance.

REIT investments did well relative to the S&P REIT Index, but trailed the broader market as the sector underperformed. The allocation to REITS was reduced beginning in late February as support for the sector was clearly deteriorating and uncertainty in credit markets was hurting valuations. The allocation was ultimately cut to slightly more than 2% of the portfolio, the smallest in the history of the fund. This change was fortuitous as REIT valuations declined significantly through the end of the period.

14 International investing involves special risks including currency risk, increased volatility of foreign securities, political risks, and differences in auditing and other financial standards. Prices of emerging markets securities can be significantly more volatile than the prices of securities in developed countries.

15 Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates and a rise in interest rates can cause a decline in their prices.

Fixed Income

The bond portion of the fund underperformed its benchmark (the Lehman Aggregate), however evaluating fixed income results in isolation can be misleading since this allocation is managed in the context of the broader fund. For example, fixed income performance was hurt by a short duration position (reduced exposure to interest rate risk) during the latter part of 2006. At this time the fund’s investments in financial stocks, which can carry significant interest rate exposure, rallied strongly. By reducing the interest rate exposure in the portfolio’s bond investments, we were comfortable maintaining a significant position in financials and the fund’s overall performance benefited. Through the first seven months of 2007 we managed the bond portion of the fund more traditionally and it has modestly outperformed its benchmark with security selection and duration positioning in particular contributing positively to relative performance.¹⁶

16 Duration is a measure of a security’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities of shorter durations.

Notes to Financial Statements

July 31, 2007

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated MDT Series (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of eight portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated MDT Balanced Fund (the “Fund”), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses. The Fund offers four classes of shares: Institutional Shares, Class A Shares, Class C Shares and Class K Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The financial highlights of the Class A Shares, Class C Shares and Class K Shares are presented separately. The primary investment objective of the Fund is long-term growth through capital appreciation and current income.

MDT Balanced Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into the Fund as of the close of business on December 8, 2006. Prior to the reorganization, the Fund had no investment operations. The Fund is the successor to the Predecessor Fund, which commenced offering Class A Shares and Class C Shares on September 15, 2005.

The Fund commenced offering Class K Shares on December 12, 2006.

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

Market values of the Fund’s portfolio securities are determined as follows:

• for equity securities including Exchange-Traded Funds, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available;
• in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;
• futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) may determine in good faith that another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value;
• prices for total return swaps are based upon a valuation model determined by management incorporating underlying reference indexes, interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors; prices for credit default swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating default probabilities, recovery rates and other market data or factors; prices for interest rate swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors;
• for mortgage-backed securities, based on the aggregate investment value of the projected cash flows to be generated by the security, as furnished by an independent pricing service;
• for investments in other open-end registered investment companies, based on net asset value (NAV);
• for other fixed-income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed-income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost; and
• for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Prices for fixed-income securities furnished by a pricing service may be based on a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Such prices (other than prices of mortgage-backed securities) are generally intended to be indicative of the bid prices currently offered to institutional investors for the securities, except that prices for corporate fixed-income and asset-backed securities traded in the United States are generally intended to be indicative of the mean between such bid prices and asked prices. The Trustees have approved the use of such pricing services. A number of pricing services are available, and the Fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or other financial institutions that trade the securities.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its NAV, the Fund values foreign securities using the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation is done by others under the direction of Fund management. An event is considered material if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value.

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund may invest in portfolios of Federated Core Trust, (Core Trust) which is managed by Federated Investment Management Company, the Fund’s adviser. Core Trust is an open-end management company, registered under the Act, available only to registered investment companies and other institutional investors. The investment objective of High Yield Bond Portfolio, a series of Core Trust, is to seek high current income by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of lower rated fixed-income securities. The investment objective of Federated Mortgage Core Portfolio, a series of Core Trust, is to achieve total return on assets. Federated receives no advisory or administrative fees on behalf of Core Trust. Income distributions from Core Trust are declared daily and paid monthly, and are recorded by the Fund as dividend income. Capital gain distributions, if any, from Core Trust are declared and paid annually, and are recorded by the Fund as capital gains. The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Core Trust. A copy of the Core Trust’s financial statements is available on the EDGAR Database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, at the Commission’s public reference room in Washington, DC or upon request from the Fund by calling 1-800-341-7400.

The Fund may also invest in portfolios of Federated Core Trust II (Core Trust II), pursuant to a separate Exemptive Order issued by the SEC. Core Trust II is independently managed by Federated Investment Counseling. Core Trust II is a limited partnership established under the laws of the state of Delaware, on November 13, 2000, registered under the Act, and offered only to registered investment companies and other accredited investors. The investment objective of Emerging Markets Fixed Income Core Fund (EMCORE), a series of Core Trust II, is to achieve total return on assets. Federated receives no advisory or administrative fees on behalf of the Core Trust II. The Fund records daily its proportionate share of income, expenses, unrealized gains and losses from EMCORE. The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the portfolio. A copy of EMCORE’s financial statements is available on the EDGAR Database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, at the Commission’s public reference room in Washington, DC or upon request from the Fund by calling 1-800-341-7400.

Repurchase Agreements

It is the policy of the Fund to require the other party to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Fund holds a “securities entitlement” and exercises “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Fund has established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the other party to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

With respect to agreements to repurchase U.S. government securities and cash items, the Fund treats the repurchase agreement as an investment in the underlying securities and not as an obligation of the other party to the repurchase agreement. Other repurchase agreements are treated as obligations of the other party secured by the underlying securities. Nevertheless, the insolvency of the other party or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Fund to receive less than the full repurchase price. Under the terms of the repurchase agreement, any amounts received by the Fund in excess of the repurchase price and related transaction costs must be remitted to the other party.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in which eligible securities are transferred into joint trading accounts maintained by the custodian or sub-custodian for investment companies and other clients advised by the Fund’s adviser and its affiliates. The Fund will participate on a pro rata basis with the other investment companies and clients in its share of the securities transferred under such repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of such securities.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Inflation/deflation adjustments on Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities are included in interest income. Distributions of net investment income are declared and paid annually. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class may bear distribution services fees, shareholder services fees and certain transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees unique to those 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 on fixed-income securities, other than mortgage-backed securities, are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes. 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 income tax is necessary.

Withholding taxes and where appropriate, deferred withholding taxes on foreign interest, dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Fund 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.

Futures Contracts

The Fund purchases and sells financial futures contracts to manage cashflows, enhance yield and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a financial 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 the changes in the value of the underlying securities. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Fund had net realized gains on futures contracts of $98,773.

Foreign exchange contracts outstanding at period end are listed after the Fund’s portfolio of investments.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

The Fund may enter into foreign exchange contracts for the delayed delivery of securities or foreign currency exchange transactions. The Fund may enter into foreign exchange contracts to protect assets against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations. Purchased contracts are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, whereas, contracts to sell are used to hedge the Fund’s securities against currency fluctuations. Risks may arise upon entering into these transactions from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their commitments and from unanticipated movements in security prices or foreign exchange rates. The foreign exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the settlement date.

Foreign exchange contracts outstanding at period end are listed after the Fund’s portfolio of investments.

Foreign Currency Translation

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (FCs) are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rates 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 trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference 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.

Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are securities that either: (a) cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, or being able to take advantage of an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933; or (b) are subject to contractual restrictions on public sales. In some cases, when a security cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, the issuer of the restricted security 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 such restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Fund’s Trustees. 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 accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

Redemption Fees

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund imposed a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders of the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares who redeem shares held for 30 days or less. Shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions of the Fund, or purchased pursuant to the Systematic Investment Program or withdrawn pursuant to the Systematic Withdrawal Program, were not subject to the redemption fee. All redemption fees was recorded by the Fund as additions to paid-in-capital.

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 to differing treatments for cost adjustment on REITs and partnership income.

For the year ended July 31, 2007, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Paid-In Capital	Undistributed Net Investment Income	Accumulated Net Realized Gains
$365	$(92,804)	$92,439

Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), 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 years ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, was as follows:

	2007	2006
Ordinary income1	$3,667,344	$2,863,368
Long-term capital gains	$3,685,887	$3,065,795

1 For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.

As of July 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	5,960,881
Undistributed long-term capital gain	$	3,380,432
Net unrealized appreciation	$	5,411,743

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for the deferral of losses on wash sales, deferral of paydowns and REIT adjustments and partnership.

At July 31, 2007, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $142,664,681. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $5,411,743. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $9,766,020 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $4,354,277.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated MDTA LLC is the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The advisory agreement between the Fund and Adviser provides for an annual fee equal to 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Under the investment advisory contract, which is subject to annual review by the Trustees, the Adviser will waive all or a portion of the advisory fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes and brokerage commissions) in order to contractually limit the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses to no more than the following annual percentages for certain Classes of the Fund based on average daily net assets:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Institutional Shares	1.25%
Class A Shares	1.50%
Class C Shares	2.25%

The Adviser has agreed to keep these contractual limitations in place through December 8, 2008.

In addition, after fulfilling its contractual commitment, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive and/or reimburse any additional portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser waived $95,564 of its fee. An affiliate o the Adviser reimbursed $12,494 of transfer and dividend disbursing agent recordkeeping fees.

Administrative Fee

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement (the “Agreement”), provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of certain Federated funds as specified below:

Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. During the period from July 15, 2006 through December 8, 2006, the administrator contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fee which it would otherwise be entitled to receive from the Fund under the Agreement. The level of fees payable by the Fund to FAS for the period will not exceed the level of fees which the Fund would have paid during the period to its previous service provider under its previous administrative services contract. In addition, FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the net fee paid to FAS was 0.134% of average daily net assets of the Fund. FAS waived $85,184 of its fee.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, which became effective December 11, 2006. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (FSC), the principal distributor, from the daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares, Class C Shares and Class K Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of up to the following percentages of average daily net assets annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	0.75%
Class K Shares	0.50%

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund incurred distribution expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	1.00%

When FSC receives fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase shares. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $74,254 of fees paid by the Fund.

Sales Charges

Sales	$	187,623,125

7. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates in a $150,000,000 unsecured, uncommitted revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement with PNC Bank. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 0.65% over the federal funds rate. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

8. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from other participating affiliated funds. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the program was not utilized.

9. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, “Federated”), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated (“Funds”) were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. 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. These lawsuits began to be filed shortly after Federated’s first public announcement that it had received requests for information on shareholder trading activities in the Funds from the SEC, the Office of the New York State Attorney General (“NYAG”), and other authorities. In that regard, on November 28, 2005, Federated announced that it had reached final settlements with the SEC and the NYAG with respect to those matters. As Federated previously reported in 2004, it has already paid approximately $8.0 million to certain funds as determined by an independent consultant. As part of these settlements, Federated agreed to pay for the benefit of fund shareholders additional disgorgement and a civil money penalty in the aggregate amount of an additional $72 million. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and intend to defend this litigation. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these lawsuits, all of which seek unquantified damages, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do 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 the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Recent SEC guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in fund NAV calculations as late as a fund’s last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the Fund will adopt FIN 48 no later than January 31, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

In addition, in September 2006, FASB released Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

11. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

For the year ended July 31, 2007, the amount of long-term capital gains designated by the Fund was $3,685,887.

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007, 20.35% of total income (including short-term capital gain) distributions made by the Fund are qualifying dividends which may be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15%, as provided for by the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Act of 2003. Complete information is reported in conjunction with the reporting of your distributions on Form 1099-DIV.

Of the ordinary income (including short-term capital gain) distributions made by the Fund during the year ended July 31, 2007, 18.35% qualify for the dividend received deduction available to corporate shareholders.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED MDT SERIES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MDT BALANCED FUND:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated MDT Balanced Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the portfolios constituting Federated MDT Series), including the portfolio of investments, as of July 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein for the years ended July 31, 2007, 2006 and 2003. 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. The financial highlights for each of the two years in the period ended July 31, 2005 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated September 19, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated MDT Balanced Fund, a portfolio of Federated MDT Series, at July 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein for the years ended July 31, 2007, 2006 and 2003, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract

FEDERATED MDT BALANCED FUND (THE “FUND”)

The Fund’s Board reviewed the Fund’s investment advisory contract at meetings held in May 2007. The Board’s decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

In this connection, the Federated funds had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent written evaluation that covered topics discussed below. The Board considered that evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract.

During its review of the contract, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser. This included the fees received for services provided to the Fund by other entities in the Federated organization and research services received by the Adviser from brokers that execute Federated fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser’s fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the performance of the Fund; the Adviser’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as the Fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant bearing on the Adviser’s services and fees. The Board further considered management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser for what might be viewed as like services, and costs to the Adviser and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit and profit margins of the Adviser and its affiliates from supplying such services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund’s advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by the advice of independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, the Board has requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer’s evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional reports in connection with the particular meeting at which the Board’s formal review of the advisory contract occurred. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board’s consideration of the advisory contract included review of the Senior Officer’s evaluation, accompanying data and additional reports covering such matters as: the Adviser’s investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund’s short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund’s investment objectives; the Fund’s expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund’s portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund’s relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated’s responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board’s evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.

With respect to the Fund’s performance and expenses in particular, the Board has found the use of comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be particularly useful, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because, simply put, they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund’s investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes. The Fund’s ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Fund’s investment program, which in turn assisted the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser’s investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract. In this regard, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated’s fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences included, but are not limited to targeting different investors, being subject to different laws and regulations, different legal structure, distribution costs, average account size and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be significant in determining the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory contracts.

The Senior Officer reviewed reports compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups are highly important in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.

For the periods ending December 31, 2006, the Fund’s performance for the three year period was above the median of the relevant peer group, and the Fund’s performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for the one year period. The Board discussed the Fund’s performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and the performance of the Fund.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including reports on the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. These reports covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated’s subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds’ administrator). The reports also discussed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate.

Federated furnished reports, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund by fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund by fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, although they may apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs (and the unavoidable arbitrary aspects of that exercise) and the lack of consensus on how to allocate those costs may render such allocation reports unreliable. The allocation reports were considered in the analysis by the Board but were determined to be of limited use.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed a report compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer noted the limited availability of such information, but nonetheless concluded that Federated’s profit margins did not appear to be excessive and the Board agreed.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant additional investments in areas such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, compliance, and risk management functions; distribution efforts; and systems technology; that support all of the Federated funds, and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund complex as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which (as discussed in independently prepared materials included in the Senior Officer’s evaluation) is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with “breakpoints” that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size. The Senior Officer did not recommend institution of breakpoints in pricing Federated’s fund advisory services at this time.

For the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, the Fund’s investment advisory fee after waivers and expense reimbursements, if any, was below the median of the relevant peer group. The Board reviewed the fees and other expenses of the Fund with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation noted his belief that the information and observations contained in his evaluation supported his finding that the proposed management fees are reasonable, and that Federated appeared to provide appropriate administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund’s advisory contract. For 2006, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates were satisfactory.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board’s approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund.

The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2007 to July 31, 2007.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

	Beginning Account Value 2/1/2007	Ending Account Value 7/31/2007	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual:
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,071.60	$7.70
Class B Shares	$1.000	$1,070.40	$7.94
Class C Shares	$1,000	$1,067.00	$11.53
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses):
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,017.36	$7.50
Class B Shares	$1.000	$1,013.69	$11.18
Class C Shares	$1,000	$1,013.64	$11.23

1 “Actual” expense information for the Fund’s Class B Shares is for the period from March 29, 2007 (date of initial public investment) to July 31, 2007. Actual expenses are equal to the annualized net expense ratio of the Fund’s Class B Shares, multiplied by 125/365 (to reflect the period from initial public investment to July 31, 2007). “Hypothetical” expense information for Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares is presented on the basis of the full one-half year period to enable comparison to other funds. It is based on assuming the same net expense ratio and average account value over the period, but it is multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the full half-year period). The annualized net expense ratios are as follows:

Class A Shares	1.50%
Class B Shares	2.24%
Class C Shares	2.25%

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The fund’s total return, based on net asset value, for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007, was 20.38% for Class A Shares, 19.71% for Class B Shares and 19.42% for Class C Shares¹. The total return of the Russell 1000^® Growth Index (Russell 1000G^®)² was 19.48% for the same period. The fund’s total return for the fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses which were not reflected in the total return of the Russell index. The total return of the Lipper Large Cap Growth Funds Index³ was 17.67% for the same period.

1 The fund is the successor to the MDT Large Cap Growth Fund pursuant to a reorganization that took place on December 8, 2006. Prior to that date, the fund had no investment operations. Accordingly, the performance information provided is historical information of the MDT Large Cap Growth Fund.

2 The Russell 1000^® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 1000^® companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The index is unmanaged, and unlike the Fund, is not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

3 Lipper figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all the mutual funds designated by Lipper Analytical Servcies, Inc. as falling into the respective categories indicated. Lipper figures do not reflect sales charges.

Performance data quoted represents past performance which is no guarantee 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. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than what is stated.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Over the twelve month reporting period ended July 31, 2007, domestic equity markets enjoyed a positive, if somewhat rocky, performance highlighted by a sudden decline in late February and another decline as the reporting period ended in July. The Russell 3000^® Index,⁴ which represents the performance of the 3000 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization, finished the period up a solid 16.08%. Mid-cap stocks lead the way as demonstrated by the 18.93% return on the Russell Midcap^® Index,⁵ which exceeded the 15.48% and 12.12% results for the Russell Top 200^® Index⁶ and the Russell 2000^® Index,⁷ respectively. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks by a wide margin during the year with the Russell 3000^® Growth Index⁸ returning 19.24% as compared to 12.97% for the Russell 3000 Value^® Index.⁹ The best performing sectors during the reporting period in the Russell 3000^® Index were Materials (up 35.67%), Telecommunication Services (up 30.35%) and Information Technology (up 29.43%). Underperforming sectors included Financials (up just 2.11%, negatively influenced by a disruption in credit markets late in the reporting period), Health Care (up 8.23%) and Consumer Staples (up 11.12%).

4 Russell 3000^® Index measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization, which represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. The index is unmanaged, and unlike the Fund, is not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

5 The Russell Midcap^® Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, which represent approximately 31% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 Index. The index is unmanaged, and unlike the Fund, is not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

6 The Russell Top 200^® Index measures the performance of the 200 largest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, which represents approximately 69% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 Index. The index is unmanaged, and unlike the Fund, is not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

7 The Russell 2000^® Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, which represents approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index. The index is unmanaged, and unlike the Fund, is not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

8 The Russell 3000^® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000 Growth or the Russell 2000 Growth indexes. The index is unmanaged, and unlike the Fund, is not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

9 The Russell 3000^® Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000 Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000 Value or the Russell 2000 Value indexes. The index is unmanaged, and unlike the Fund, is not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

FUND PERFORMANCE

The most significant positive factor in the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 1000^® Growth Index was its stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary and Energy sectors. Additionally, the fund’s stock selection and relative weighting in the Industrials and Financials sectors provided moderate contributions to relative performance. The most significant negative factor in the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 1000^® Growth Index was its stock selection in the Information Technology sector. The underweight of this sector, which outperformed the benchmark, also detracted from relative performance.

Individual stocks contributing to the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 1000^® Growth Index included: Apple Computer Inc., Schlumberger Limited, Comcast Corp., 3M Co., and Schering Plough Corp.

Individual stocks detracting from the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 1000^® Growth Index included: Cisco Systems Inc., Microsoft Corp., Intel Corp., Du Pont, and Caremark Rx Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

July 31, 2007

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated MDT Series (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of eight diversified portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated MDT Large Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses. The Fund offers four classes of shares: Institutional Shares, Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The financial highlights of the Institutional Shares are presented separately. The primary investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation.

MDT Large Cap Growth Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into the Fund as of the close of business on December 8, 2006. Prior to the reorganization, the Fund had no investment operations. The Fund is the successor to the Predecessor Fund, which commenced operations on September 15, 2005.

The Fund commenced offering Class B Shares on March 29, 2007.

On June 22, 2007, the Fund received a tax-free transfer of assets from the Federated Large Cap Growth Fund, as follows:

Shares of the Fund Issued	Federated Large Cap Growth Fund Net Assets Received	Unrealized Appreciation1	Net Assets of the Fund Immediately Prior to Combination	Net Assets of Federated Large Cap Growth Fund Immediately Prior to Combination	Net Assets of the Fund Immediately After Combination
11,747,685	$144,301,541	$26,980,742	$5,111,245	$144,301,541	$149,412,786

1 Unrealized appreciation is included in the Federated Large Cap Growth Fund Net Assets Received amount shown above.

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

Market values of the Fund’s portfolio securities are determined as follows:

• for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available;
• in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;
• for investments in other open-end registered investment companies, based on net asset value (NAV);
• futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) may determine in good faith that another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value;
• prices for total return swaps are based upon a valuation model determined by management incorporating underlying reference indexes, interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors; prices for credit default swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating default probabilities, recovery rates and other market data or factors; prices for interest rate swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors;
• for mortgage-backed securities, based on the aggregate investment value of the projected cash flows to be generated by the security, as furnished by an independent pricing service;
• for other fixed-income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed-income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost; and
• for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Prices for fixed-income securities furnished by a pricing service may be based on a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Such prices (other than prices of mortgage-backed securities) are generally intended to be indicative of the bid prices currently offered to institutional investors for the securities, except that prices for corporate fixed-income and asset-backed securities traded in the United States are generally intended to be indicative of the mean between such bid prices and asked prices. The Trustees have approved the use of such pricing services. A number of pricing services are available, and the Fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or other financial institutions that trade the securities.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its NAV, the Fund values foreign securities using the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation is done by others under the direction of Fund management. An event is considered material if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value.

Repurchase Agreements

It is the policy of the Fund to require the other party to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Fund holds a “securities entitlement” and exercises “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Fund has established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the other party to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

With respect to agreements to repurchase U.S. government securities and cash items, the Fund treats the repurchase agreement as an investment in the underlying securities and not as an obligation of the other party to the repurchase agreement. Other repurchase agreements are treated as obligations of the other party secured by the underlying securities. Nevertheless, the insolvency of the other party or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Fund to receive less than the full repurchase price. Under the terms of the repurchase agreement, any amounts received by the Fund in excess of the repurchase price and related transaction costs must be remitted to the other party.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in which eligible securities are transferred into joint trading accounts maintained by the custodian or sub-custodian for investment companies and other clients advised by the Fund’s adviser and its affiliates. The Fund will participate on a pro rata basis with the other investment companies and clients in its share of the securities transferred under such repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of such securities.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class may bear certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. 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

All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes.

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 income tax is necessary.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Fund 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.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

Redemption Fees

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund imposed a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders of the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares who redeem shares held for 30 days or less. Shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions of the Fund, or purchased pursuant to the Systematic Investment Program or withdrawn pursuant to the Systematic Withdrawal Program, were not subject to the redemption fee. All redemption fees were recorded by the Fund as additions to paid-in-capital.

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 to differing treatments for net operating loss, expiration of capital loss carryforwards, capital loss carryforwards from Fund merger and deferred wash sales from Fund merger.

For the year ended July 31, 2007, 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 Loss
$395,581,233	$237,143	$(395,818,376)

Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), 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 year ended July 31, 2007 was as follows:

	2007
Ordinary income1	$16,216

1 For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.

As of July 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	6,354,311
Undistributed long-term capital gains	$	12,029,434
Net unrealized appreciation	$	4,243,658
Capital loss carryforwards	$	(392,813,555	)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for the deferral of losses on wash sales.

At July 31, 2007, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $148,376,943. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $4,243,658. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $9,466,770 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $5,223,112.

At July 31, 2007, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $392,813,555 which will reduce the Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gains 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 income tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire as follows:

Expiration Year	Expiration Amount
2008	$294,478,872
2009	$76,646,626
2010	$21,688,057

As a result of the tax-free transfer of assets from Federated Large Cap Growth Fund, certain capital loss carryforwards listed above may be limited.

The Fund used capital loss carryforwards of $2,227,653 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended July 31, 2007. Additionally, capital loss carryforwards of $3,983,104 expired during the year ended July 31, 2007.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated MDTA LLC is the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The advisory agreement between the Fund and Adviser provides for an annual fee equal to 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Under the investment advisory contract, which is subject to annual review by the Trustees, the Adviser will waive all or a portion of the advisory fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes and brokerage commissions) in order to contractually limit the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses to no more than the following annual percentages for certain classes of the Fund based on average daily net assets:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Institutional Shares	1.80%
Class A Shares	2.05%
Class C Shares	2.80%

The Adviser has agreed to keep these contractual limitations in place through December 8, 2008.

In addition, after fulfilling its contractual commitment, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive and/or reimburse any additional portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser waived $128,757 of its fee and reimbursed $236,203 of other operating expenses.

Administrative Fee

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement (the “Agreement”), provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of certain Federated funds as specified below:

Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. During the period from July 15, 2006 through December 8, 2006, the administrator contractually agreed to waive the portion of its fee which it would otherwise be entitled to receive from the Fund under the Agreement. The level of fees payable by the Fund to FAS for the period will not exceed the level of fees which the Fund would have paid during the period to its previous service provider under its previous administrative services contract. In addition, FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the net fee paid to FAS was 0.502% of average daily net assets of the Fund. FAS waived $109,683 of its fee.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act which became effective on December 11, 2006. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (FSC), the principal distributor, from the daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of up to the following percentages of average daily net assets annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class B Shares	0.75%
Class C Shares	0.75%

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund incurred distribution expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC.

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	1.00%

When FSC receives fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase shares. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $8,880 of fees paid by the Fund.

Sales Charges

For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $3,448 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. See “What Do Shares Cost?” in the Prospectus.

Shareholder Services Fee

Effective December 11, 2006, the Fund may pay fees (Service Fees) up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. Financial intermediaries may include a company affiliated with management of Federated Investors, Inc. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSSC did not receive any fees paid by the Fund. A financial intermediary affiliated with management of Federated Investors, Inc. received $4,446 of Service Fees for the year ended July 31, 2007.

Expense Limitation

The Adviser and its affiliates (which may include FSC, FAS and FSSC) have voluntarily agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total operating expenses (including the distribution (12b-1) fee) paid by the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 1.25%, 1.50%, 2.25% and 2.25%, respectively, for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2008. Although these actions are voluntary, the Adviser and its affiliates have agreed not to terminate these waivers and/or reimbursements until after September 30, 2008.

General

Certain of the Officers and Trustees of the Trust are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.

Transactions with Affiliated Companies

Affiliated holdings are mutual funds which are managed by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund for certain investment adviser fees as a result of transactions in other affiliated mutual funds. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser reimbursed $131 in connection with the affiliated mutual fund listed below. Transactions with the affiliated company during the year ended July 31, 2007 are as follows:

Affiliate	Balance of Shares Held 7/31/2006	Purchases/ Additions	Sales/ Reductions	Balance of Shares Held 7/31/2007	Value	Dividend Income
Prime Value Obligations Fund, Institutional Shares	--	8,218,683	5,488,810	2,729,873	$2,729,873	$9,410

6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations, for the year ended July 31, 2007, were as follows:

Purchases	$	159,240,189
Sales	$	153,225,112

7. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates in a $150,000,000 unsecured, uncommitted revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement with PNC Bank. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 0.65% over the federal funds rate. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

8. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from other participating affiliated funds. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the program was not utilized.

9. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, “Federated”), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated (“Funds”) were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. 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. These lawsuits began to be filed shortly after Federated’s first public announcement that it had received requests for information on shareholder trading activities in the Funds from the SEC, the Office of the New York State Attorney General (“NYAG”), and other authorities. In that regard, on November 28, 2005, Federated announced that it had reached final settlements with the SEC and the NYAG with respect to those matters. As Federated previously reported in 2004, it has already paid approximately $8.0 million to certain funds as determined by an independent consultant. As part of these settlements, Federated agreed to pay for the benefit of fund shareholders additional disgorgement and a civil money penalty in the aggregate amount of an additional $72 million. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and intend to defend this litigation. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these lawsuits, all of which seek unquantified damages, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do 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 the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Recent SEC guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in fund NAV calculations as late as a fund’s last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the Fund will adopt FIN 48 no later than January 31, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

In addition, in September 2006, FASB released Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

11. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007, 18.06% of total ordinary dividends paid by the Fund are qualifying dividends which may be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15%, as provided for by the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Act of 2003. Complete information is reported in conjunction with the reporting of your distributions on Form 1099-DIV.

Of the ordinary income (including short-term capital gain) distributions made by the Fund during the year ended July 31, 2007, 19.41% qualify for the dividend received deduction available to corporate shareholders.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED MDT SERIES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MDT LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated MDT Large Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the portfolios constituting Federated MDT Series), including the portfolio of investments, as of July 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated MDT Large Cap Growth Fund, a portfolio of Federated MDT Series, at July 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract

FEDERATED MDT LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND (THE “FUND”)

The Fund’s Board reviewed the Fund’s investment advisory contract at meetings held in May 2007. The Board’s decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

In this connection, the Federated funds had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent written evaluation that covered topics discussed below. The Board considered that evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract.

During its review of the contract, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser. This included the fees received for services provided to the Fund by other entities in the Federated organization and research services received by the Adviser from brokers that execute Federated fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser’s fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the performance of the Fund; the Adviser’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as the Fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant bearing on the Adviser’s services and fees. The Board further considered management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser for what might be viewed as like services, and costs to the Adviser and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit and profit margins of the Adviser and its affiliates from supplying such services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund’s advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by the advice of independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, the Board has requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer’s evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional reports in connection with the particular meeting at which the Board’s formal review of the advisory contract occurred. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board’s consideration of the advisory contract included review of the Senior Officer’s evaluation, accompanying data and additional reports covering such matters as: the Adviser’s investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund’s short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund’s investment objectives; the Fund’s expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund’s portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund’s relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated’s responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board’s evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.

With respect to the Fund’s performance and expenses in particular, the Board has found the use of comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be particularly useful, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because, simply put, they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund’s investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes. The Fund’s ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Fund’s investment program, which in turn assisted the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser’s investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract. In this regard, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated’s fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences included, but are not limited to targeting different investors, being subject to different laws and regulations, different legal structure, distribution costs, average account size and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be significant in determining the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory contracts.

The Senior Officer reviewed reports compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups are highly important in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.

The Fund’s performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for the one year period ending December 31, 2006. The Board discussed the Fund’s performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and the performance of the Fund.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including reports on the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. These reports covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated’s subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds’ administrator). The reports also discussed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate.

Federated furnished reports, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund by fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund by fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, although they may apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs (and the unavoidable arbitrary aspects of that exercise) and the lack of consensus on how to allocate those costs may render such allocation reports unreliable. The allocation reports were considered in the analysis by the Board but were determined to be of limited use.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed a report compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer noted the limited availability of such information, but nonetheless concluded that Federated’s profit margins did not appear to be excessive and the Board agreed.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant additional investments in areas such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, compliance, and risk management functions; distribution efforts; and systems technology; that support all of the Federated funds, and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund complex as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which (as discussed in independently prepared materials included in the Senior Officer’s evaluation) is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with “breakpoints” that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size. The Senior Officer did not recommend institution of breakpoints in pricing Federated’s fund advisory services at this time.

It was noted that for the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, the Fund’s investment advisory fee was waived in its entirety. The Board reviewed the contractual fee rate and other expenses of the Fund with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation noted his belief that the information and observations contained in his evaluation supported his finding that the proposed management fees are reasonable, and that Federated appeared to provide appropriate administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund’s advisory contract. For 2006, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates were satisfactory.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board’s approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund.

The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board’s decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated’s performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

1 MDT Large Cap Growth Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into the Federated MDT Large Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) as of the close of business on December 8, 2006. Prior to the reorganization, the Fund had no investment operations. The Fund is the successor to the Predecessor Fund. The performance information and financial information presented incorporates the operations of the Predecessor Fund, which, as a result of the reorganization, are the Fund’s operations.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2007 to July 31, 2007.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

	Beginning Account Value 2/1/2007	Ending Account Value 7/31/2007	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual	$1,000	$1,073.90	$6.38
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses)	$1,000	$1,018.65	$6.21

1 Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio of 1.24%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The fund’s total return, based on net asset value, for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007, was 20.81% for Institutional Shares.¹ The total return of the Russell 1000^® Growth Index (Russell 1000 Growth^®)² was 19.48% for the same period. The fund’s total return for the fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses which were not reflected in the total return of the Russell 1000 Growth. The total return of the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index³ was 17.67% for the same period.

1 The fund is the successor to the MDT Large Cap Growth Fund pursuant to a reorganization that took place on December 8, 2006. Prior to that date, the fund had no investment operations. Accordingly, the performance information provided is historical information of the MDT Large Cap Growth Fund.

2 The Russell 1000^® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The index is unmanaged, and unlike the Fund, is not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

3 Lipper figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all mutual funds designated by Lipper Analytical Services, inc. as falling into the respective categories indicated.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Over the twelve month reporting period ended July 31, 2007, domestic equity markets enjoyed a positive, if somewhat rocky, performance highlighted by a sudden decline in late February and another decline as the reporting period ended in July. The Russell 3000^® Index,⁴ which represents the performance of the 3000 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization, finished the period up a solid 16.08%. Mid-cap stocks lead the way as demonstrated by the 18.93% return on the Russell Midcap^® Index,⁵ which exceeded the 15.48% and 12.12% results for the Russell Top 200^® Index⁶ and the Russell 2000^® Index,⁷ respectively. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks by a wide margin during the year with the Russell 3000^® Growth Index⁸ returning 19.24% as compared to 12.97% for the Russell 3000 Value^® Index.⁹

The best performing sectors during the reporting period in the Russell 3000^® Index were Materials (up 35.67%), Telecommunication Services (up 30.35%) and Information Technology (up 29.43%). Underperforming sectors included Financials (up just 2.11%, negatively influenced by a disruption in credit markets late in the reporting period), Health Care (up 8.23%) and Consumer Staples (up 11.12%).

4 Russell 3000^® Index measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization, which represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. The index is unmanaged and unlike the Fund is not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

5 The Russell Midcap^® Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, which represent approximately 31% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 Index. The index is unmanaged, and unlike the Fund, is not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

6 The Russell Top 200^® Index measures the performance of the 200 largest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, which represents approximately 69% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 Index. The index is unmanaged, and unlike the Fund, is not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

7 The Russell 2000^® Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, which represents approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index. The index is unmanaged, and unlike the Fund, is not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

8 The Russell 3000^® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000 Growth or the Russell 2000 Growth indexes. The index is unmanaged, and unlike the Fund, is not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

9 The Russell 3000^® Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000 Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000 Value or the Russell 2000 Value indexes. The index is unmanaged, and unlike the Fund, is not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

FUND PERFORMANCE

The most significant positive factor in the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 1000^® Growth Index was its stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary and Energy sectors. Additionally, the fund’s stock selection and relative weighting in the Industrials and Financials sectors provided moderate contributions to relative performance. The most significant negative factor in the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 1000^® Growth Index was its stock selection in the Information Technology sector. The underweight of this sector, which outperformed the benchmark, also detracted from relative performance.

Individual stocks contributing to the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 1000^® Growth Index included: Apple Computer Inc., Schlumberger Limited, Comcast Corp., 3M Co., and Schering Plough Corp.

Individual stocks detracting from the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 1000^® Growth Index included: Cisco Systems Inc., Microsoft Corp., Intel Corp., Du Pont, and Caremark Rx Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

July 31, 2007

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated MDT Series (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of eight diversified portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated MDT Large Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses. The Fund offers four classes of shares: Institutional Shares, Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The financial highlights of the Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares are presented separately. The primary investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation.

MDT Large Cap Growth Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into the Fund as of the close of business on December 8, 2006. Prior to the reorganization, the Fund had no investment operations. The Fund is the successor to the Predecessor Fund, which commenced operations on September 15, 2005.

The Fund commenced offering Class B Shares on March 29, 2007.

On June 22, 2007, the Fund received a tax-free transfer of assets from the Federated Large Cap Growth Fund, as follows:

Shares of the Fund Issued	Federated Large Cap Growth Fund Net Assets Received	Unrealized Appreciation1	Net Assets of the Fund Immediately Prior to Combination	Net Assets of Federated Large Cap Growth Fund Immediately Prior to Combination	Net Assets of the Fund Immediately After Combination
11,747,685	$144,301,541	$26,980,742	$5,111,245	$144,301,541	$149,412,786

1 Unrealized appreciation is included in the Federated Large Cap Growth Fund Net Assets Received amount shown above.

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

Market values of the Fund’s portfolio securities are determined as follows:

• for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available;
• in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;
• for investments in other open-end registered investment companies, based on net asset value (NAV);
• futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) may determine in good faith that another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value;
• prices for total return swaps are based upon a valuation model determined by management incorporating underlying reference indexes, interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors; prices for credit default swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating default probabilities, recovery rates and other market data or factors; prices for interest rate swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors;
• for mortgage-backed securities, based on the aggregate investment value of the projected cash flows to be generated by the security, as furnished by an independent pricing service;
• for other fixed-income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed-income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost; and
• for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Prices for fixed-income securities furnished by a pricing service may be based on a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Such prices (other than prices of mortgage-backed securities) are generally intended to be indicative of the bid prices currently offered to institutional investors for the securities, except that prices for corporate fixed-income and asset-backed securities traded in the United States are generally intended to be indicative of the mean between such bid prices and asked prices. The Trustees have approved the use of such pricing services. A number of pricing services are available, and the Fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or other financial institutions that trade the securities.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its NAV, the Fund values foreign securities using the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation is done by others under the direction of Fund management. An event is considered material if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value.

Repurchase Agreements

It is the policy of the Fund to require the other party to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Fund holds a “securities entitlement” and exercises “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Fund has established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the other party to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

With respect to agreements to repurchase U.S. government securities and cash items, the Fund treats the repurchase agreement as an investment in the underlying securities and not as an obligation of the other party to the repurchase agreement. Other repurchase agreements are treated as obligations of the other party secured by the underlying securities. Nevertheless, the insolvency of the other party or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Fund to receive less than the full repurchase price. Under the terms of the repurchase agreement, any amounts received by the Fund in excess of the repurchase price and related transaction costs must be remitted to the other party.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in which eligible securities are transferred into joint trading accounts maintained by the custodian or sub-custodian for investment companies and other clients advised by the Fund’s adviser and its affiliates. The Fund will participate on a pro rata basis with the other investment companies and clients in its share of the securities transferred under such repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of such securities.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class may bear certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. 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

All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes.

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 income tax is necessary.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Fund 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.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

2 Reflects operations for the period from March 29, 2007 (date of initial public investment) to July 31, 2007.

Redemption Fees

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund imposed a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders of the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares who redeem shares held for 30 days or less. Shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions of the Fund, or purchased pursuant to the Systematic Investment Program or withdrawn pursuant to the Systematic Withdrawal Program, were not subject to the redemption fee. All redemption fees were recorded by the Fund as additions to paid-in-capital.

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 to differing treatments for net operating loss, expiration of capital loss carryforwards, capital loss carryforwards from Fund merger and deferred wash sales from Fund merger.

For the year ended July 31, 2007, 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 Loss
$395,581,233	$237,143	$(395,818,376	)

Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), 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 year ended July 31, 2007 was as follows:

	2007
Ordinary income1	$16,216

1 For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.

As of July 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	6,354,311
Undistributed long-term capital gains	$	12,029,434
Net unrealized appreciation	$	4,243,658
Capital loss carryforwards	$	(392,813,555	)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for the deferral of losses on wash sales.

At July 31, 2007, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $148,376,943. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $4,243,658. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $9,466,770 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $5,223,112.

At July 31, 2007, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $392,813,555 which will reduce the Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gains 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 income tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire as follows:

Expiration Year	Expiration Amount
2008	$294,478,872
2009	$76,646,626
2010	$21,688,057

As a result of the tax-free transfer of assets from Federated Large Cap Growth Fund, certain capital loss carryforwards listed above may be limited.

The Fund used capital loss carryforwards of $2,227,653 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended July 31, 2007. Additionally, capital loss carryforwards of $3,983,104 expired during the year ended July 31, 2007.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated MDTA LLC is the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The advisory agreement between the Fund and Adviser provides for an annual fee equal to 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Under the investment advisory contract, which is subject to annual review by the Trustees, the Adviser will waive all or a portion of the advisory fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes and brokerage commissions) in order to contractually limit the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses to no more than the following annual percentages for certain Classes of the Fund based on average daily net assets:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Institutional Shares	1.80%
Class A Shares	2.05%
Class C Shares	2.80%

The Adviser has agreed to keep these contractual limitations in place through December 8, 2008.

In addition, after fulfilling its contractual commitment, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive and/or reimburse any additional portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser waived $128,757 of its fee and reimbursed $236,203 of other operating expenses.

Administrative Fee

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement (the “Agreement”), provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of certain Federated funds as specified below:

Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. During the period from July 15, 2006 through December 8, 2006, the administrator contractually agreed to waive the portion of its fee which it would otherwise be entitled to receive from the Fund under the Agreement. The level of fees payable by the Fund to FAS for the period will not exceed the level of fees which the Fund would have paid during the period to its previous service provider under its previous administrative services contract. In addition, FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the net fee paid to FAS was 0.502% of average daily net assets of the Fund. FAS waived $109,683 of its fee.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act which became effective December 11, 2006. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (FSC), the principal distributor, from the daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of up to the following percentages of average daily net assets annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class B Shares	0.75%
Class C Shares	0.75%

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund incurred distribution expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC.

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	1.00%

When FSC receives fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase shares. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $8,880 of fees paid by the Fund.

Sales Charges

For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $3,448 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. See “What Do Shares Cost?” in the Prospectus.

Shareholder Services Fee

Effective December 11, 2006, the Fund may pay fees (Service Fees) up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. Financial intermediaries may include a company affiliated with management of Federated Investors, Inc. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSSC did not receive any fees paid by the Fund. A financial intermediary affiliated with management of Federated Investors, Inc. received $4,446 of Service Fees for the year ended July 31, 2007.

Expense Limitation

The Adviser and its affiliates (which may include FSC, FAS and FSSC) have voluntarily agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total operating expenses (including the distribution (12b-1) fee) paid by the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 1.25%, 1.50%, 2.25% and 2.25%, respectively, for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2008. Although these actions are voluntary, the Adviser and its affiliates have agreed not to terminate these waivers and/or reimbursements until after September 30, 2008.

General

Certain of the Officers and Trustees of the Trust are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.

Transactions with Affiliated Companies

Affiliated holdings are mutual funds which are managed by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund for certain investment adviser fees as a result of transactions in other affiliated mutual funds. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser reimbursed $131 in connection with the affiliated mutual fund listed below. Transactions with the affiliated company during the year ended July 31, 2007 are as follows:

Affiliate	Balance of Shares Held 7/31/2006	Purchases/ Additions	Sales/ Reductions	Balance of Shares Held 7/31/2007	Value	Dividend Income

Purchases	$	159,240,189
Sales	$	153,225,112

7. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates in a $150,000,000 unsecured, uncommitted revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement with PNC Bank. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 0.65% over the federal funds rate. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

8. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from other participating affiliated funds. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the program was not utilized.

9. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, “Federated”), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated (“Funds”) were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. 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. These lawsuits began to be filed shortly after Federated’s first public announcement that it had received requests for information on shareholder trading activities in the Funds from the SEC, the Office of the New York State Attorney General (“NYAG”), and other authorities. In that regard, on November 28, 2005, Federated announced that it had reached final settlements with the SEC and the NYAG with respect to those matters. As Federated previously reported in 2004, it has already paid approximately $8.0 million to certain funds as determined by an independent consultant. As part of these settlements, Federated agreed to pay for the benefit of fund shareholders additional disgorgement and a civil money penalty in the aggregate amount of an additional $72 million. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and intend to defend this litigation. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these lawsuits, all of which seek unquantified damages, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do 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 the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Recent SEC guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in fund NAV calculations as late as a fund’s last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the Fund will adopt FIN 48 no later than January 31, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

In addition, in September 2006, FASB released Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

11. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007, 18.06% of total ordinary dividends paid by the Fund are qualifying dividends which may be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15%, as provided for by the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Act of 2003. Complete information is reported in conjunction with the reporting of your distributions on Form 1099-DIV

Of the ordinary income (including short-term capital gain) distributions made by the Fund during the year ended July 31, 2007, 19.41% qualify for the dividend received deduction available to corporate shareholders.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED MDT SERIES AND
SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MDT LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated MDT Large Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the portfolios constituting Federated MDT Series), including the portfolio of investments, as of July 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated MDT Large Cap Growth Fund, a portfolio of Federated MDT Series, at July 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract

FEDERATED MDT LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND (THE “FUND”)

The Fund’s Board reviewed the Fund’s investment advisory contract at meetings held in May 2007. The Board’s decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

In this connection, the Federated funds had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent written evaluation that covered topics discussed below. The Board considered that evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract.

During its review of the contract, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser. This included the fees received for services provided to the Fund by other entities in the Federated organization and research services received by the Adviser from brokers that execute Federated fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser’s fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the performance of the Fund; the Adviser’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as the Fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant bearing on the Adviser’s services and fees. The Board further considered management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser for what might be viewed as like services, and costs to the Adviser and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit and profit margins of the Adviser and its affiliates from supplying such services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund’s advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by the advice of independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, the Board has requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer’s evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional reports in connection with the particular meeting at which the Board’s formal review of the advisory contract occurred. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board’s consideration of the advisory contract included review of the Senior Officer’s evaluation, accompanying data and additional reports covering such matters as: the Adviser’s investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund’s short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund’s investment objectives; the Fund’s expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund’s portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund’s relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated’s responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board’s evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.

With respect to the Fund’s performance and expenses in particular, the Board has found the use of comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be particularly useful, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because, simply put, they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund’s investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes. The Fund’s ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Fund’s investment program, which in turn assisted the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser’s investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract. In this regard, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated’s fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences included, but are not limited to targeting different investors, being subject to different laws and regulations, different legal structure, distribution costs, average account size and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be significant in determining the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory contracts.

The Senior Officer reviewed reports compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups are highly important in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.

The Fund’s performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for the one year period ending December 31, 2006. The Board discussed the Fund’s performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and the performance of the Fund.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including reports on the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. These reports covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated’s subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds’ administrator). The reports also discussed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate.

Federated furnished reports, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund by fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund by fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, although they may apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs (and the unavoidable arbitrary aspects of that exercise) and the lack of consensus on how to allocate those costs may render such allocation reports unreliable. The allocation reports were considered in the analysis by the Board but were determined to be of limited use.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed a report compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer noted the limited availability of such information, but nonetheless concluded that Federated’s profit margins did not appear to be excessive and the Board agreed.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant additional investments in areas such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, compliance, and risk management functions; distribution efforts; and systems technology; that support all of the Federated funds, and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund complex as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which (as discussed in independently prepared materials included in the Senior Officer’s evaluation) is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with “breakpoints” that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size. The Senior Officer did not recommend institution of breakpoints in pricing Federated’s fund advisory services at this time.

It was noted that for the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, the Fund’s investment advisory fee was waived in its entirety. The Board reviewed the contractual fee rate and other expenses of the Fund with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation noted his belief that the information and observations contained in his evaluation supported his finding that the proposed management fees are reasonable, and that Federated appeared to provide appropriate administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund’s advisory contract. For 2006, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates were satisfactory.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board’s approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund.

The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board’s decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated’s performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of cost: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2007 to July 31, 2007.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

	Beginning Account Value 2/1/2007	Ending Account Value 7/31/2007	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual:
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,100.30	$7.76
Class C Shares	$1,000	$1,095.40	$11.64
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses):
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,017.41	$7.45
Class C Shares	$1,000	$1,013.69	$11.18

1 Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratios, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The annualized net expense ratios are as follows:

Class A Shares	1.49%
Class C Shares	2.24%

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The fund’s total return for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007 was 25.67% for Class A Shares and 24.69% for Class C Shares.¹ The total return of the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index (Russell Midcap^® Growth)² was 21.41% for the same period. The fund’s total return for the fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses which were not reflected in the total return of the Russell Midcap^® Growth. The total return of the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds Index³ was 25.72% for the same period.

1 The fund is the successor to the MDT Mid Cap Growth Fund pursuant to a reorganization that took place on December 8, 2006. Prior to that date, the fund had no investment operations. Accordingly, the performance information provided is historical information of the MDT Mid Cap Growth Fund.

2 Russell Midcap^® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell Midcap companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The stocks are also members of the Russell 1000^® Growth index. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made in an index.

3 Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds Index is composed of the 30 largest funds, measured by total net assets, in the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds classification. These funds, by portfolio practice, invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) less than 300% of the dollar-weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Mid-cap growth funds typically have an above-average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value, compared to the S&P MidCap 400 Index. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made in an index.

Performance data quoted represents past performance which is no guarantee 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. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than what is stated.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Over the twelve month reporting period ended July 31, 2007, domestic equity markets enjoyed a positive, if somewhat rocky, performance highlighted by a sudden decline in late February and another decline as the reporting period ended in July. The Russell 3000^® Index,⁴ which represents the performance of the 3000 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization, finished the period up a solid 16.08%. Mid-cap stocks lead the way as demonstrated by the 18.93% return on the Russell Midcap^® Index,⁵ which exceeded the 15.48% and 12.12% results for the Russell Top 200^® Index⁶ and the Russell 2000^® Index,⁷ respectively. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks by a wide margin during the year, with the Russell 3000^® Growth Index⁸ returning 19.24% as compared to 12.97% for the Russell 3000 Value^® Index.⁹

The best performing sectors during the reporting period in the Russell 3000^® Index were Materials (up 35.67%), Telecommunication Services (up 30.35%) and Information Technology (up 29.43%). Underperforming sectors included Financials (up just 2.11%, negatively influenced by a disruption in credit markets late in the reporting period), Health Care (up 8.23%) and Consumer Staples (up 11.12%).

4 Russell 3000^® Index measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization, which represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made in an index.

5 Russell Midcap^® Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000^® Index, which represent approximately 35% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000^® Index. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made in an index.

6 Russell Top 200^® Index measures the performance of the 200 largest companies in the Russell 1000^® Index, which represents approximately 65% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000^® Index. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made in an index.

7 Russell 2000^® Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000^® Index, which represents approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000^® Index. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made in an index.

8 Russell 3000^® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000^® Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000^® Growth or the Russell 2000^® Growth indexes. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made in an index.

9 Russell 3000^® Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000^® Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000^® Value or the Russell 2000^® Value indexes. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made in an index.

FUND PERFORMANCE

The most significant positive factor in the fund’s performance relative to the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index was its stock selection in the Industrials, Materials, and Consumer Discretionary sectors. Additionally, the fund’s overweight in the Industrials and Materials sectors provided modest contributions to relative performance. The most significant negative factor in the fund’s performance relative to the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index was its stock selection in the Health Care and Consumer Staples sectors. Additionally, the fund’s overweight in the Health Care sector detracted modestly from relative performance.

Individual stocks contributing to the fund’s performance relative to the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index included: Precision Castparts, MEMC Electrical Materials Inc., Southern Copper Corp., Mcdermott International, and Goodyear Tire & Rubber.

Individual stocks detracting from the fund’s performance relative to the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index included: Hansen National Corp., Sepracor Inc., Nutri Sys. Inc., Medimmune Inc., and Bare Escentuals Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

July 31, 2007

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated MDT Series (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of eight portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated MDT Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses. The Fund offers three classes of shares: Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The financial highlights of the Institutional Shares are presented separately. The primary investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation.

MDT Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into the Fund as of the close of business on December 8, 2006. Prior to the reorganization, the Fund had no investment operations. The Fund is the successor to the Predecessor Fund, which commenced operations on September 15, 2005.

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

Market values of the Fund’s portfolio securities are determined as follows:

• for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available;
• in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;
• for investments in other open-end registered investment companies, based on net asset value (NAV);
• futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) may determine in good faith that another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value;
• prices for total return swaps are based upon a valuation model determined by management incorporating underlying reference indexes, interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors; prices for credit default swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating default probabilities, recovery rates and other market data or factors;
• for mortgage-backed securities, based on the aggregate investment value of the projected cash flows to be generated by the security, as furnished by an independent pricing service;
• for other fixed-income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed-income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost; and
• for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Prices for fixed-income securities furnished by a pricing service may be based on a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Such prices (other than prices of mortgage-backed securities) are generally intended to be indicative of the bid prices currently offered to institutional investors for the securities, except that prices for corporate fixed-income and asset-backed securities traded in the United States are generally intended to be indicative of the mean between such bid prices and asked prices. The Trustees have approved the use of such pricing services. A number of pricing services are available, and the Fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or other financial institutions that trade the securities.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its NAV, the Fund values foreign securities using the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation is done by others under the direction of Fund management. An event is considered material if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value.

Repurchase Agreements

It is the policy of the Fund to require the other party to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Fund holds a “securities entitlement” and exercises “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Fund has established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the other party to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

With respect to agreements to repurchase U.S. government securities and cash items, the Fund treats the repurchase agreement as an investment in the underlying securities and not as an obligation of the other party to the repurchase agreement. Other repurchase agreements are treated as obligations of the other party secured by the underlying securities. Nevertheless, the insolvency of the other party or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Fund to receive less than the full repurchase price. Under the terms of the repurchase agreement, any amounts received by the Fund in excess of the repurchase price and related transaction costs must be remitted to the other party.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in which eligible securities are transferred into joint trading accounts maintained by the custodian or sub-custodian for investment companies and other clients advised by the Fund’s adviser and its affiliates. The Fund will participate on a pro rata basis with the other investment companies and clients in its share of the securities transferred under such repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of such securities.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class may bear certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. 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

All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes.

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 income tax is necessary.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Fund 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.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

1 Reflects operations for the period from September 15, 2005 (date of initial public investment) to July 31, 2006.

Redemption Fees

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund imposed a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders of the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares who redeem shares held for 30 days or less. Shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions of the Fund, or purchased pursuant to the Systematic Investment Program or withdrawn pursuant to the Systematic Withdrawal Program, were not subject to the redemption fee. All redemption fees were recorded by the Fund as additions to paid-in capital.

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 to differing treatments for net operating loss.

For the year ended July 31, 2007, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)	Accumulated Net Realized Gains
$19,120	$(19,120)

Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), 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 year ended July 31, 2007, was as follows:

		2007
Ordinary income1	$	16,615
Long-term capital gains	$	696

1 For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.

As of July 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	90,764
Undistributed long-term capital gain	$	22,630
Net unrealized appreciation	$	376,598

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for the deferral of losses on wash sales.

At July 31, 2007, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $6,996,271. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $376,598. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $578,872 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $202,274.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated MDTA LLC is the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The advisory agreement between the Fund and Adviser provides for an annual fee equal to 0.90% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Under the investment advisory contract, which is subject to annual review by the Trustees, the Adviser will waive all or a portion of the advisory fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes and brokerage commissions) in order to contractually limit the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses to no more than the following annual percentages for each Class of the Fund based on average daily net assets:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Institutional Shares	1.80%
Class A Shares	2.05%
Class C Shares	2.80%

The Adviser has agreed to keep these contractual limitations in place through December 8, 2008.

In addition, after fulfilling its contractual commitment, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive and/or reimburse any additional portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser waived $21,030 and reimbursed $305,878 of other operating expenses.

Administrative Fee

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement (the “Agreement”), provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of certain Federated funds as specified below:

Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. During the period from July 15, 2006 through December 8, 2006, the administrator contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fee which it would otherwise be entitled to receive from the Fund under the Agreement. The level of fees payable by the Fund to FAS for the period will not exceed the level of fees which the Fund would have paid during the period to its previous service provider under its previous administrative services contract. In addition, FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the net fee paid to FAS was 5.280% of average daily net assets of the Fund. FAS waived $106,536 of its fee.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act which became effective December 11, 2006. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (FSC), the principal distributor, from the daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class C Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of up to the following percentages of average daily net assets annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	0.75%

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund incurred distribution expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	1.00%

When FSC receives fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase shares. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $299 of fees paid by the Fund.

Sales Charges

For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $1,093 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. See “What Do Shares Cost?” in the Prospectus.

Shareholder Services Fee

Effective December 11, 2006, the Fund may pay fees (Service Fees) up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class C Shares to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSSC did not receive any fees paid by the Fund.

Expense Limitation

The Adviser and its affiliates (which may include FSC, FAS and FSSC) have voluntarily agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total operating expenses (including the distribution (12b-1) fee) paid by the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 1.25%, 1.50% and 2.25%, respectively, for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2008. Although these actions are voluntary, the Adviser and its affiliates have agreed not to terminate these waivers and/or reimbursements until after September 30, 2008.

General

Certain of the Officers and Trustees of the Trust are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.

Transactions with Affiliated Companies

Affiliated holdings are mutual funds which are managed by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund for certain investment adviser fees as a result of transactions in other affiliated mutual funds. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser reimbursed $14 in connection with the affiliated mutual fund listed below. Transactions with the affiliated company during the year ended July 31, 2007, were as follows:

7. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates in a $150,000,000 unsecured, uncommitted revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement with PNC Bank. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 0.65% over the federal funds rate. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

8. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from other participating affiliated funds. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the program was not utilized.

9. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, “Federated”), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated (“Funds”) were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. 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. These lawsuits began to be filed shortly after Federated’s first public announcement that it had received requests for information on shareholder trading activities in the Funds from the SEC, the Office of the New York State Attorney General (“NYAG”), and other authorities. In that regard, on November 28, 2005, Federated announced that it had reached final settlements with the SEC and the NYAG with respect to those matters. As Federated previously reported in 2004, it has already paid approximately $8.0 million to certain funds as determined by an independent consultant. As part of these settlements, Federated agreed to pay for the benefit of fund shareholders additional disgorgement and a civil money penalty in the aggregate amount of an additional $72 million. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and intend to defend this litigation. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these lawsuits, all of which seek unquantified damages, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do 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 the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Recent SEC guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in fund NAV calculations as late as a fund’s last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the Fund will adopt FIN 48 no later than January 31, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

In addition, in September 2006, FASB released Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

11. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

For the year ended July 31, 2007, the amount of long-term capital gains designated by the Fund was $696.

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007, 17.64% of total ordinary dividends paid by the Fund are qualifying dividends which may be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15%, as provided for by the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Act of 2003. Complete information is reported in conjunction with the reporting of your distributions on Form 1099-DIV.

Of the ordinary income (including short-term capital gain) distributions made by the Fund during the year ended July 31, 2007, 17.82% qualify for the dividend received deduction available to corporate shareholders.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED MDT SERIES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MDT MID CAP GROWTH FUND

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated MDT Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the portfolios constituting Federated MDT Series), including the portfolio of investments, as of July 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated MDT Mid Cap Growth Fund, a portfolio of Federated MDT Series, at July 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract

FEDERATED MDT MID CAP GROWTH FUND (THE “FUND”)

The Fund’s Board reviewed the Fund’s investment advisory contract at meetings held in May 2007. The Board’s decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

In this connection, the Federated funds had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent written evaluation that covered topics discussed below. The Board considered that evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract.

During its review of the contract, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser. This included the fees received for services provided to the Fund by other entities in the Federated organization and research services received by the Adviser from brokers that execute Federated fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser’s fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the performance of the Fund; the Adviser’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as the Fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant bearing on the Adviser’s services and fees. The Board further considered management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser for what might be viewed as like services, and costs to the Adviser and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit and profit margins of the Adviser and its affiliates from supplying such services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund’s advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by the advice of independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, the Board has requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer’s evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional reports in connection with the particular meeting at which the Board’s formal review of the advisory contract occurred. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board’s consideration of the advisory contract included review of the Senior Officer’s evaluation, accompanying data and additional reports covering such matters as: the Adviser’s investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund’s short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund’s investment objectives; the Fund’s expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund’s portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund’s relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated’s responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board’s evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.

With respect to the Fund’s performance and expenses in particular, the Board has found the use of comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be particularly useful, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because, simply put, they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund’s investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes. The Fund’s ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Fund’s investment program, which in turn assisted the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser’s investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract. In this regard, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated’s fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences included, but are not limited to targeting different investors, being subject to different laws and regulations, different legal structure, distribution costs, average account size and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be significant in determining the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory contracts.

The Senior Officer reviewed reports compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups are highly important in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.

For the one year period ending December 31, 2006, the Fund’s performance was above the median of the relevant peer group.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including reports on the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. These reports covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated’s subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds’ administrator). The reports also discussed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate.

Federated furnished reports, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund by fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund by fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, although they may apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs (and the unavoidable arbitrary aspects of that exercise) and the lack of consensus on how to allocate those costs may render such allocation reports unreliable. The allocation reports were considered in the analysis by the Board but were determined to be of limited use.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed a report compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer noted the limited availability of such information, but nonetheless concluded that Federated’s profit margins did not appear to be excessive and the Board agreed.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant additional investments in areas such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, compliance, and risk management functions; distribution efforts; and systems technology; that support all of the Federated funds, and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund complex as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which (as discussed in independently prepared materials included in the Senior Officer’s evaluation) is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with “breakpoints” that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size. The Senior Officer did not recommend institution of breakpoints in pricing Federated’s fund advisory services at this time.

It was noted that for the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, the Fund’s investment advisory fee was waived in its entirety. The Board reviewed the contractual fee rate and other expenses of the Fund with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation noted his belief that the information and observations contained in his evaluation supported his finding that the proposed management fees are reasonable, and that Federated appeared to provide appropriate administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund’s advisory contract. For 2006, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates were satisfactory.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board’s approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund.

The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board’s decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated’s performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

1 MDT Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into Federated MDT Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”), as of the close of business on December 8, 2006. Prior to the reorganization, the Fund had no investment operations. The Fund is the successor to the Predecessor Fund. The performance information and financial information presented incorporates the operations of the Predecessor Fund, which, as a result of the reorganization, are the Fund’s operations.

2 Reflects operations for the period from September 15, 2005 (date of initial public investment) to
July 31, 2006.

3 Per share numbers have been calculated using the average shares method.

4 Based on net asset value, which does not reflect the sales charge, redemption fee, or contingent deferred sales charge, if applicable. Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.

5 Computed on an annualized basis.

6 This expense decrease is reflected in both the net expense and the net investment income (loss) ratios shown above.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2007 to July 31, 2007.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

	Beginning Account Value 2/1/2007	Ending Account Value 7/31/2007	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual	$1,000	$1,100.80	$6.30
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses)	$1,000	$1,018.79	$6.06

1 Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio of 1.21%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The fund’s total return for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007 was 25.90% for Institutional Shares.¹ The total return of the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index (Russell Midcap^® Growth)² was 21.41% for the same period. The fund’s total return for the fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses which were not reflected in the total return of the Russell Midcap^® Growth. The total return of the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds Index³ was 25.72% for the same period.

1 The fund is the successor to the MDT Mid Cap Growth Fund pursuant to a reorganization that took place on December 8, 2006. Prior to that date, the fund had no investment operations. Accordingly, the performance information provided is historical information of the MDT Mid Cap Growth Fund.

2 Russell Midcap Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell Midcap companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The stocks are also members of the Russell 1000 Growth index. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made in an index.

3 Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds Index is composed of the 30 largest funds, measured by total net assets, in the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds classification. These funds, by portfolio practice, invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) less than 300% of the dollar-weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Mid-cap growth funds typically have an above-average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value, compared to the S&P MidCap 400 Index. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made in an index.

Performance data quoted represents past performance which is no guarantee 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.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Over the twelve month reporting period ended July 31, 2007, domestic equity markets enjoyed a positive, if somewhat rocky, performance highlighted by a sudden decline in late February and another decline as the reporting period ended in July. The Russell 3000^® Index,⁴ which represents the performance of the 3000 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization, finished the period up a solid 16.08%. Mid-cap stocks lead the way as demonstrated by the 18.93% return on the Russell Midcap^® Index,⁵ which exceeded the 15.48% and 12.12% results for the Russell Top 200^® Index⁶ and the Russell 2000^® Index,⁷ respectively. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks by a wide margin during the year, with the Russell 3000^® Growth Index⁸ returning 19.24% as compared to 12.97% for the Russell 3000 Value^® Index.⁹

The best performing sectors during the reporting period in the Russell 3000^® Index were Materials (up 35.67%), Telecommunication Services (up 30.35%) and Information Technology (up 29.43%). Underperforming sectors included Financials (up just 2.11%, negatively influenced by a disruption in credit markets late in the reporting period), Health Care (up 8.23%) and Consumer Staples (up 11.12%).

FUND PERFORMANCE

The most significant positive factor in the fund’s performance relative to the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index was its stock selection in the Industrials, Materials, and Consumer Discretionary sectors. Additionally, the fund’s overweight in the Industrials and Materials sectors provided modest contributions to relative performance. The most significant negative factor in the fund’s performance relative to the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index was its stock selection in the Health Care and Consumer Staples sectors. Additionally, the fund’s overweight in the Health Care sector detracted modestly from relative performance.

Individual stocks contributing to the fund’s performance relative to the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index included: Precision Castparts, MEMC Electrical Materials Inc., Southern Copper Corp., Mcdermott International, and Goodyear Tire & Rubber.

Individual stocks detracting from the fund’s performance relative to the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index included: Hansen National Corp., Sepracor Inc., Nutri Sys. Inc., Medimmune Inc., and Bare Escentuals Inc.

4 Russell 3000 Index measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization, which represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made in an index.

5 Russell Midcap Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, which represent approximately 35% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 Index. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made in an index.

6 Russell Top 200 Index measures the performance of the 200 largest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, which represents approximately 65% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 Index. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made in an index.

7 Russell 2000 Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, which represents approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made in an index.

8 Russell 3000 Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000 Growth or the Russell 2000 Growth indexes. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made in an index.

9 Russell 3000 Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000 Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000 Value or the Russell 2000 Value indexes. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made in an index.

GROWTH OF A $25,000 INVESTMENT -- INSTITUTIONAL SHARES

The graph below illustrates the hypothetical investment of $25,000¹ in the Federated MDT Mid Cap Growth Fund (Institutional Shares) (the “Fund”) from September 15, 2005 (start of performance) to July 31, 2007, compared to the Russell Midcap Growth Index (Russell Midcap Growth)² and the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds Index.³

Average Annual Total Returns for the Period Ended 7/31/2007
1 Year	25.90%
Start of Performance (9/15/2005)	17.15%

Performance data quoted represents past performance which is no guarantee 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. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than what is stated. For current to the most recent month-end performance and after-tax returns, visit FederatedInvestors.com or call 1-800-341-7400. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Mutual funds are not obligations of or guaranteed by any bank and are not federally insured.

1 The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The Russell Midcap Growth and Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds Index have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indexes.

2 The Russell Midcap Growth is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission requires to be reflected in the Fund’s performance. The index is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

3 Lipper figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. as falling into the respective categories indicated. Lipper figures do not reflect sales charges.

Notes to Financial Statements

July 31, 2007

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated MDT Series (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of eight portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated MDT Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses. The Fund offers three classes of shares: Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on
class-specific matters. The financial highlights of the Class A Shares and Class C Shares are presented separately. The primary investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation.

MDT Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into the Fund as of the close of business on December 8, 2006. Prior to the reorganization, the Fund had no investment operations. The Fund is the successor to the Predecessor Fund, which commenced operations on September 15, 2005.

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

Market values of the Fund’s portfolio securities are determined as follows:

• for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the
  over-the-counter market), if available;
• in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;
• for investments in other open-end registered investment companies, based on net asset value (NAV);
• futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) may determine in good faith that another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value;
• prices for total return swaps are based upon a valuation model determined by management incorporating underlying reference indexes, interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors; prices for credit default swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating default probabilities, recovery rates and other market data or factors;
• for mortgage-backed securities, based on the aggregate investment value of the projected cash flows to be generated by the security, as furnished by an independent pricing service;
• for other fixed-income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed-income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost; and
• for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Prices for fixed-income securities furnished by a pricing service may be based on a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Such prices (other than prices of mortgage-backed securities) are generally intended to be indicative of the bid prices currently offered to institutional investors for the securities, except that prices for corporate fixed-income and asset-backed securities traded in the United States are generally intended to be indicative of the mean between such bid prices and asked prices. The Trustees have approved the use of such pricing services. A number of pricing services are available, and the Fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or other financial institutions that trade the securities.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its NAV, the Fund values foreign securities using the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation is done by others under the direction of Fund management. An event is considered material if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value.

Repurchase Agreements

It is the policy of the Fund to require the other party to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Fund holds a “securities entitlement” and exercises “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Fund has established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the other party to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

With respect to agreements to repurchase U.S. government securities and cash items, the Fund treats the repurchase agreement as an investment in the underlying securities and not as an obligation of the other party to the repurchase agreement. Other repurchase agreements are treated as obligations of the other party secured by the underlying securities. Nevertheless, the insolvency of the other party or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Fund to receive less than the full repurchase price. Under the terms of the repurchase agreement, any amounts received by the Fund in excess of the repurchase price and related transaction costs must be remitted to the other party.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in which eligible securities are transferred into joint trading accounts maintained by the custodian or sub-custodian for investment companies and other clients advised by the Fund’s adviser and its affiliates. The Fund will participate on a pro rata basis with the other investment companies and clients in its share of the securities transferred under such repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of such securities.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are recorded on the
ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class may bear certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. 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

All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes.

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 income tax is necessary.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Fund 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.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

1 Reflects operations for the period from September 15, 2005 (date of initial public investment) to
July 31, 2006.

Redemption Fees

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund imposed a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders of the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares who redeem shares held for 30 days or less. Shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions of the Fund, or purchased pursuant to the Systematic Investment Program or withdrawn pursuant to the Systematic Withdrawal Program, were not subject to the redemption fee. All redemption fees were recorded by the Fund as additions to paid-in capital.

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 to differing treatments for net operating loss.

For the year ended July 31, 2007, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)	Accumulated Net Realized Gains
$19,120	$(19,120)

Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), 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 year ended July 31, 2007, was as follows:

	2007
Ordinary income1	$16,615
Long-term capital gains	$696

1 For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.

As of July 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	90,764
Undistributed long-term capital gain	$	22,630
Net unrealized appreciation	$	376,598

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for the deferral of losses on wash sales.

At July 31, 2007, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $6,996,271. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $376,598. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $578,872 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $202,274.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated MDTA LLC is the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The advisory agreement between the Fund and Adviser provides for an annual fee equal to 0.90% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Under the investment advisory contract, which is subject to annual review by the Trustees, the Adviser will waive all or a portion of the advisory fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes and brokerage commissions) in order to contractually limit the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses to no more than the following annual percentages for each Class of the Fund based on average daily net assets:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Institutional Shares	1.80%
Class A Shares	2.05%
Class C Shares	2.80%

The Adviser has agreed to keep these contractual limitations in place through
December 8, 2008.

In addition, after fulfilling its contractual commitment, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive and/or reimburse any additional portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser waived $21,030 and reimbursed $305,878 of other operating expenses.

Administrative Fee

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement (the “Agreement”), provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of certain Federated funds as specified below:

Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. During the period from July 15, 2006 through December 8, 2006, the administrator contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fee which it would otherwise be entitled to receive from the Fund under the Agreement. The level of fees payable by the Fund to FAS for the period will not exceed the level of fees which the Fund would have paid during the period to its previous service provider under its previous administrative services contract. In addition, FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the net fee paid to FAS was 5.280% of average daily net assets of the Fund. FAS waived $106,536 of its fee.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act which became effective on December 11, 2006. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (FSC), the principal distributor, from the daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class C Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of up to the following percentages of average daily net assets annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	0.75%

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund incurred distribution expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	1.00%

When FSC receives fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase shares. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $299 of fees paid by the Fund.

Sales Charges

For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $1,093 in sales charges from the sale of
Class A Shares. See “What Do Shares Cost?” in the Prospectus.

Shareholder Services Fee

Effective December 11, 2006, the Fund may pay fees (Service Fees) up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class C Shares to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSSC did not receive any fees paid by the Fund.

Expense Limitation

The Adviser and its affiliates (which may include FSC, FAS and FSSC) have voluntarily agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total operating expenses (including the distribution (12b-1) fee) paid by the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 1.25%, 1.50% and 2.25%, respectively, for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2008. Although these actions are voluntary, the Adviser and its affiliates have agreed not to terminate these waivers and/or reimbursements until after September 30, 2008.

General

Certain of the Officers and Trustees of the Trust are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.

Transactions with Affiliated Companies

Affiliated holdings are mutual funds which are managed by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund for certain investment adviser fees as a result of transactions in other affiliated mutual funds. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser reimbursed $14 in connection with the affiliated mutual fund listed below. Transactions with the affiliated company during the year ended July 31, 2007 were as follows:

Affiliate	Balance of Shares Held 7/31/2006	Purchases/ Additions	Sales/ Reductions	Balance of Shares Held 7/31/2007	Value	Dividend Income
Prime Value Obligations Fund, Institutional Shares	--	888,550	740,147	148,403	$148,403	$951

6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and
short-term obligations, for the year ended July 31, 2007, were as follows:

Purchases	$	9,753,606
Sales	$	3,368,828

7. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates in a $150,000,000 unsecured, uncommitted revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement with PNC Bank. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 0.65% over the federal funds rate. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

8. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from other participating affiliated funds. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the program was not utilized.

9. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, “Federated”), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated (“Funds”) were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. 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. These lawsuits began to be filed shortly after Federated’s first public announcement that it had received requests for information on shareholder trading activities in the Funds from the SEC, the Office of the New York State Attorney General (“NYAG”), and other authorities. In that regard, on November 28, 2005, Federated announced that it had reached final settlements with the SEC and the NYAG with respect to those matters. As Federated previously reported in 2004, it has already paid approximately $8.0 million to certain funds as determined by an independent consultant. As part of these settlements, Federated agreed to pay for the benefit of fund shareholders additional disgorgement and a civil money penalty in the aggregate amount of an additional $72 million. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and intend to defend this litigation. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these lawsuits, all of which seek unquantified damages, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do 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 the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Recent SEC guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in fund NAV calculations as late as a fund’s last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the Fund will adopt FIN 48 no later than January 31, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

In addition, in September 2006, FASB released Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

11. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

For the year ended July 31, 2007, the amount of long-term capital gains designated by the Fund was $696.

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007, 17.64% of total ordinary dividends paid by the Fund are qualifying dividends which may be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15%, as provided for by the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Act of 2003. Complete information is reported in conjunction with the reporting of your distributions on Form 1099-DIV.

Of the ordinary income (including short-term capital gain) distributions made by the Fund during the year ended July 31, 2007, 17.82% qualify for the dividend received deduction available to corporate shareholders.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED MDT SERIES AND
SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MDT MID CAP GROWTH FUND

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated MDT Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the portfolios constituting Federated MDT Series), including the portfolio of investments, as of July 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated MDT Mid Cap Growth Fund, a portfolio of Federated MDT Series, at July 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract

FEDERATED MDT MID CAP GROWTH FUND (THE “FUND”)

The Fund’s Board reviewed the Fund’s investment advisory contract at meetings held in May 2007. The Board’s decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

In this connection, the Federated funds had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent written evaluation that covered topics discussed below. The Board considered that evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract.

During its review of the contract, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser. This included the fees received for services provided to the Fund by other entities in the Federated organization and research services received by the Adviser from brokers that execute Federated fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser’s fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the performance of the Fund; the Adviser’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as the Fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant bearing on the Adviser’s services and fees. The Board further considered management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser for what might be viewed as like services, and costs to the Adviser and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit and profit margins of the Adviser and its affiliates from supplying such services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund’s advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by the advice of independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, the Board has requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer’s evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional reports in connection with the particular meeting at which the Board’s formal review of the advisory contract occurred. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board’s consideration of the advisory contract included review of the Senior Officer’s evaluation, accompanying data and additional reports covering such matters as: the Adviser’s investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund’s short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund’s investment objectives; the Fund’s expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund’s portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund’s relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated’s responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board’s evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.

With respect to the Fund’s performance and expenses in particular, the Board has found the use of comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be particularly useful, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because, simply put, they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund’s investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes. The Fund’s ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Fund’s investment program, which in turn assisted the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser’s investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract. In this regard, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated’s fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences included, but are not limited to targeting different investors, being subject to different laws and regulations, different legal structure, distribution costs, average account size and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be significant in determining the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory contracts.

The Senior Officer reviewed reports compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups are highly important in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.

For the one year period ending December 31, 2006, the Fund’s performance was above the median of the relevant peer group.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including reports on the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. These reports covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated’s subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds’ administrator). The reports also discussed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate.

Federated furnished reports, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund by fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund by fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, although they may apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs (and the unavoidable arbitrary aspects of that exercise) and the lack of consensus on how to allocate those costs may render such allocation reports unreliable. The allocation reports were considered in the analysis by the Board but were determined to be of limited use.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed a report compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer noted the limited availability of such information, but nonetheless concluded that Federated’s profit margins did not appear to be excessive and the Board agreed.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant additional investments in areas such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, compliance, and risk management functions; distribution efforts; and systems technology; that support all of the Federated funds, and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund complex as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which (as discussed in independently prepared materials included in the Senior Officer’s evaluation) is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with “breakpoints” that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size. The Senior Officer did not recommend institution of breakpoints in pricing Federated’s fund advisory services at this time.

It was noted that for the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, the Fund’s investment advisory fee was waived in its entirety. The Board reviewed the contractual fee rate and other expenses of the Fund with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation noted his belief that the information and observations contained in his evaluation supported his finding that the proposed management fees are reasonable, and that Federated appeared to provide appropriate administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund’s advisory contract. For 2006, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates were satisfactory.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board’s approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund.

The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board’s decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated’s performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2007 to July 31, 2007.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

	Beginning Account Value 2/1/2007	Ending Account Value 7/31/2007	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual:
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,050.00	$8.79
Class C Shares	$1,000	$1,045.70	$12.63
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses):
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,016.22	$8.65
Class C Shares	$1,000	$1,012.45	$12.42

1 Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratios, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The annualized net expense ratios are as follows:

Class A Shares	1.73%
Class C Shares	2.49%

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The fund’s total return for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007 was 18.99% for Class A Shares and 18.01% for Class C Shares.¹ The total return of the Russell 2000^® Index was 12.12% for the same period.² The fund’s total return for the fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses which were not reflected in the total return of the Russell 2000^® Index. The total return of the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index was 16.16% for the same period.³

1 The fund is the successor to the MDT Small Cap Core Fund pursuant to a reorganization that took place on December 8, 2006. Prior to that date, the fund had no investment operations. Accordingly, the performance information provided is historical information of the MDT Small Cap Growth Fund. Small company stocks may be less liquid and subject to greater price volatility than large capitalization stocks.

2 The Russell 2000^® Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000^® Index, which represents approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000^® Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

3 The Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index is an average of funds that, by portfolio practice, invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) less than 250% of the dollar-weighted median of the smallest 500 of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Small-cap growth funds typically have an average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value, compared to the S&P SmallCap 600 Index.

Performance data quoted represents past performance which is no guarantee 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. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than what is stated.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Over the twelve month reporting period ended July 31, 2007, domestic equity markets enjoyed a positive, if somewhat rocky, performance highlighted by a sudden decline in late February and another decline as the reporting period ended in July. The Russell 3000^® Index, which represents the performance of the 3000 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization, finished the period up a solid 16.08%. Mid-cap stocks lead the way as demonstrated by the 18.93% return on the Russell Midcap^® Index⁴, which exceeded the 15.48% and 12.12% results for the Russell Top 200^® Index⁵ and the Russell 2000^® Index, respectively. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks by a wide margin during the year with the Russell 3000^® Growth Index⁶ returning 19.24% as compared to 12.97% for the Russell 3000^® Value Index.⁷

The best performing sectors during the reporting period in the Russell 3000 Index were Materials (up 35.67%), Telecommunication Services (up 30.35%) and Information Technology (up 29.43%). Underperforming sectors included Financials (up just 2.11%, negatively influenced by a disruption in credit markets late in the reporting period), Health Care (up 8.23%) and Consumer Staples (up 11.12%).

FUND PERFORMANCE

The most positive contributor to the fund’s performance was its overweight relative to the Russell 2000^® Index in the Industrials and Materials sectors as well as stock selection in those sectors. Additionally, the fund’s stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary and Health Care sectors provided positive contributions to fund performance. The fund’s performance was negatively impacted by its underweight relative to the Russell 2000^® Index in the Information Technology sector and by its stock selection in that sector.

GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT - CLASS A SHARES

The graph below illustrates the hypothetical investment of $10,000¹ in the Federated MDT Small Cap Core Fund (Class A Shares) (the “Fund”) from September 15, 2005 (start of performance) to July 31, 2007, compared to the Russell 2000^® Index² and the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index.³

Average Annual Total Returns for the Period Ended 7/31/2007
1 Year	12.41%
Start of Performance (9/15/2005)	12.60%

Performance data quoted represents past performance which is no guarantee 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. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than what is stated. For current to the most recent month-end performance and after-tax returns, visit FederatedInvestors.com or call 1-800-341-7400. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Mutual funds are not obligations of or guaranteed by any bank and are not federally insured. Total returns shown include the maximum sales charge of 5.50%.

1 Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund after deducting the maximum sales charge of 5.50% ($10,000 investment minus $550 sales charge = $9,450). The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The Russell 2000^® Index and the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indexes.

2 The Russell 2000^® Index is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires to be reflected in the Fund’s performance. The Russell 2000^® Index is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

3 Lipper figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. as falling into the respective categories indicated. Lipper figures do not reflect sales charges.

Notes to Financial Statements

July 31, 2007

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated MDT Series (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of eight portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated MDT Small Cap Core Fund (the “Fund”), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses. The Fund offers three classes of shares: Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The financial highlights of the Institutional Shares are presented separately. The primary investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation.

MDT Small Cap Core Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into the Fund as of the close of business on December 8, 2006. Prior to the reorganization, the Fund had no investment operations. The Fund is the successor to the Predecessor Fund, which commenced operations on September 15, 2005.

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

Market values of the Fund’s portfolio securities are determined as follows:

• for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available;
• in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;
• for investments in other open-end registered investment companies, based on net asset value (NAV);
• futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) may determine in good faith that another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value;
• prices for total return swaps are based upon a valuation model determined by management incorporating underlying reference indexes, interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors; prices for credit default swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating default probabilities, recovery rates and other market data or factors; prices for interest rate swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors;
• for mortgage-backed securities, based on the aggregate investment value of the projected cash flows to be generated by the security, as furnished by an independent pricing service;
• for other fixed-income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed-income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost; and
• for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Prices for fixed-income securities furnished by a pricing service may be based on a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Such prices (other than prices of mortgage-backed securities) are generally intended to be indicative of the bid prices currently offered to institutional investors for the securities, except that prices for corporate fixed-income and asset-backed securities traded in the United States are generally intended to be indicative of the mean between such bid prices and asked prices. The Trustees have approved the use of such pricing services. A number of pricing services are available, and the Fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or other financial institutions that trade the securities.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its NAV, the Fund values foreign securities using the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation is done by others under the direction of Fund management. An event is considered material if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value.

Repurchase Agreements

It is the policy of the Fund to require the other party to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Fund holds a “securities entitlement” and exercises “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Fund has established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the other party to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

With respect to agreements to repurchase U.S. government securities and cash items, the Fund treats the repurchase agreement as an investment in the underlying securities and not as an obligation of the other party to the repurchase agreement. Other repurchase agreements are treated as obligations of the other party secured by the underlying securities. Nevertheless, the insolvency of the other party or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Fund to receive less than the full repurchase price. Under the terms of the repurchase agreement, any amounts received by the Fund in excess of the repurchase price and related transaction costs must be remitted to the other party.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in which eligible securities are transferred into joint trading accounts maintained by the custodian or sub-custodian for investment companies and other clients advised by the Fund’s adviser and its affiliates. The Fund will participate on a pro rata basis with the other investment companies and clients in its share of the securities transferred under such repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of such securities.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class may bear certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. 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

All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes.

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 income tax is necessary.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Fund 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.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

1 Reflects operations for the period from September 15, 2005 (date of initial public investment) to July 31, 2006.

Redemption Fees

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund imposed a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders of the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares who redeem shares held for 30 days or less. Shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions of the Fund, or purchased pursuant to the Systematic Investment Program or withdrawn pursuant to the Systematic Withdrawal Program, were not subject to the redemption fee. All redemption fees were recorded by the Fund as additions to paid-in-capital. For the year ended July 31, 2007, there were no redemption fees.

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 net operating loss.

For the year ended July 31, 2007, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)	Accumulated Net Realized Gains
$55,417	$(55,417)

Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

As of July 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	504,934
Undistributed long-term capital gain	$	37,926
Net unrealized appreciation	$	43,619

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for the deferral of losses on wash sales.

At July 31, 2007 the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $9,348,893. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $43,619. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $762,897 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $719,278.

The Fund used capital loss carryforwards of $1,329 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended July 31, 2007.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated MDTA LLC is the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The advisory agreement between the Fund and Adviser provides for an annual fee equal to 1.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Prior to December 8, 2006, the Adviser received an annual investment adviser fee equal to 1.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Under the investment advisory contract, which is subject to annual review by the Trustees, the Adviser will waive all or a portion of the advisory fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes and brokerage commissions) in order to contractually limit the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses to no more than the following annual percentages for each Class of the Fund based on average daily net assets:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Institutional Shares	1.80%
Class A Shares	2.05%
Class C Shares	2.80%

The Adviser has agreed to keep these contractual limitations in place through December 8, 2008.

In addition, after fulfilling its contractual commitment, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive and/or reimburse any portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser waived $66,575 and reimbursed $264,140 of other operating expenses.

Administrative Fee

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement (the “Agreement”), provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of certain Federated funds as specified below:

Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. During the period from July 15, 2006 through December 8, 2006, the administrator contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fee which it would otherwise be entitled to receive from the Fund under the Agreement. The level of fees payable by the Fund to FAS for the period will not exceed the level of fees which the Fund would have paid during the period to its previous service provider under its previous administrative services contract. In addition, FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the net fee paid to FAS was 2.197% of average daily net assets of the Fund. FAS waived $105,608 of its fee.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act which became effective on December 11, 2006. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (FSC), the principal distributor, from the daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class C Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of up to the following percentages of average daily net assets annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	0.75%

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund incurred distribtuion expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	1.00%

When FSC receives fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase shares. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $17,610 of fees paid by the Fund.

Sales Charges

For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $1,761 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. FSC also retained $1,113 of contingent deferred sales charges relating to redemptions of Class C Shares. See “What Do Shares Cost?” in the Prospectus.

Shareholder Services Fee

Effective December 11, 2006, the Fund may pay fees (Service Fees) up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class C Shares to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. Financial intermediaries may include a company affiliated with management of Federated Investors, Inc. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSSC did not receive any fees paid by the Fund. A financial intermediary affiliated with management of Federated Investors, Inc. received $130 of Service Fees for the year ended July 31, 2007.

Expense Limitation

The Adviser and its affiliates (which may include FSC, FAS and FSSC) have voluntarily agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total operating expenses (including the distribution (12b-1) fee) paid by the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 1.50%, 1.75% and 2.50%, respectively, for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2008. Although these actions are voluntary, the Adviser and its affiliates have agreed not to terminate these waivers and/or reimbursements until after September 30, 2008.

7. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates in a $150,000,000 unsecured, uncommitted revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement with PNC Bank. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 0.65% over the federal funds rate. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

8. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from other participating affiliated funds. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the program was not utilized.

9. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, “Federated”), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated (“Funds”) were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. 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. These lawsuits began to be filed shortly after Federated’s first public announcement that it had received requests for information on shareholder trading activities in the Funds from the SEC, the Office of the New York State Attorney General (“NYAG”), and other authorities. In that regard, on November 28, 2005, Federated announced that it had reached final settlements with the SEC and the NYAG with respect to those matters. As Federated previously reported in 2004, it has already paid approximately $8.0 million to certain funds as determined by an independent consultant. As part of these settlements, Federated agreed to pay for the benefit of fund shareholders additional disgorgement and a civil money penalty in the aggregate amount of an additional $72 million. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and intend to defend this litigation. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these lawsuits, all of which seek unquantified damages, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do 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 the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Recent SEC guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in fund NAV calculations as late as a fund’s last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the Fund will adopt FIN 48 no later than January 31, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

In addition, in September 2006, FASB released Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED MDT SERIES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MDT SMALL CAP CORE FUND

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated MDT Small Cap Core Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the portfolios constituting Federated MDT Series), including the portfolio of investments, as of July 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated MDT Small Cap Core Fund, a portfolio of Federated MDT Series, at July 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract

FEDERATED MDT SMALL CAP CORE FUND (THE “FUND”)

The Fund’s Board reviewed the Fund’s investment advisory contract at meetings held in May 2007. The Board’s decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

In this connection, the Federated funds had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent written evaluation that covered topics discussed below. The Board considered that evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract.

During its review of the contract, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser. This included the fees received for services provided to the Fund by other entities in the Federated organization and research services received by the Adviser from brokers that execute Federated fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser’s fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the performance of the Fund; the Adviser’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as the Fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant bearing on the Adviser’s services and fees. The Board further considered management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser for what might be viewed as like services, and costs to the Adviser and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit and profit margins of the Adviser and its affiliates from supplying such services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund’s advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by the advice of independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, the Board has requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer’s evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional reports in connection with the particular meeting at which the Board’s formal review of the advisory contract occurred. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board’s consideration of the advisory contract included review of the Senior Officer’s evaluation, accompanying data and additional reports covering such matters as: the Adviser’s investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund’s short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund’s investment objectives; the Fund’s expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund’s portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund’s relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated’s responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board’s evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.

With respect to the Fund’s performance and expenses in particular, the Board has found the use of comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be particularly useful, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because, simply put, they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund’s investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes. The Fund’s ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Fund’s investment program, which in turn assisted the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser’s investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract. In this regard, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated’s fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences included, but are not limited to targeting different investors, being subject to different laws and regulations, different legal structure, distribution costs, average account size and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be significant in determining the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory contracts.

The Senior Officer reviewed reports compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups are highly important in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.

For the one year period ending December 31, 2006, the Fund’s performance was above the median of the relevant peer group.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including reports on the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. These reports covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated’s subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds’ administrator). The reports also discussed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate.

Federated furnished reports, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund by fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund by fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, although they may apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs (and the unavoidable arbitrary aspects of that exercise) and the lack of consensus on how to allocate those costs may render such allocation reports unreliable. The allocation reports were considered in the analysis by the Board but were determined to be of limited use.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed a report compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer noted the limited availability of such information, but nonetheless concluded that Federated’s profit margins did not appear to be excessive and the Board agreed.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant additional investments in areas such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, compliance, and risk management functions; distribution efforts; and systems technology; that support all of the Federated funds, and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund complex as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which (as discussed in independently prepared materials included in the Senior Officer’s evaluation) is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with “breakpoints” that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size. The Senior Officer did not recommend institution of breakpoints in pricing Federated’s fund advisory services at this time.

It was noted that for the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, the Fund’s investment advisory fee was waived in its entirety. The Board reviewed the contractual fee rate and other expenses of the Fund with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation noted his belief that the information and observations contained in his evaluation supported his finding that the proposed management fees are reasonable, and that Federated appeared to provide appropriate administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund’s advisory contract. For 2006, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates were satisfactory.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board’s approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund.

The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board’s decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated’s performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

	Beginning Account Value 2/1/2007	Ending Account Value 7/31/2007	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual	$1,000	$1,051.50	$7.63
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses)	$1,000	$1,017.36	$7.50

1 Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio of 1.50%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The fund’s total return for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007 was 19.21% for Institutional Shares.¹ The total return of the Russell 2000^® Index was 12.12% for the same period.² The fund’s total return for the fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses which were not reflected in the total return of the Russell 2000^® Index. The total return of the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index was 16.16% for the same period.³

MARKET OVERVIEW

Over the twelve month reporting period ended July 31, 2007, domestic equity markets enjoyed a positive, if somewhat rocky, performance highlighted by a sudden decline in late February and another decline as the reporting period ended in July. The Russell 3000^® Index, which represents the performance of the 3000 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization, finished the period up a solid 16.08%. Mid-cap stocks lead the way as demonstrated by the 18.93% return on

1 The fund is the successor to the MDT Small Cap Core Fund pursuant to a reorganization that took place on December 8, 2006. Prior to that date, the fund had no investment operations. Accordingly, the performance information provided is historical information of the MDT Small Cap Growth Fund. Small company stocks may be less liquid and subject to greater price volatility than large capitalization stocks.

2 The Russell 2000^® Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000^® Index, which represents approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000^® Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

3 The Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index is an average of funds that, by portfolio practice, invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) less than 250% of the dollar-weighted median of the smallest 500 of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Small-cap growth funds typically have an average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value, compared to the S&P SmallCap 600 Index.

Performance data quoted represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results.

the Russell Midcap^® Index⁴, which exceeded the 15.48% and 12.12% results for the Russell Top 200^® Index⁵ and the Russell 2000^® Index, respectively. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks by a wide margin during the year with the Russell 3000^® Growth Index⁶ returning 19.24% as compared to 12.97% for the Russell 3000^® Value Index.⁷

The best performing sectors during the reporting period in the Russell 3000^® Index were Materials (up 35.67%), Telecommunication Services (up 30.35%) and Information Technology (up 29.43%). Underperforming sectors included Financials (up just 2.11%, negatively influenced by a disruption in credit markets late in the reporting period), Health Care (up 8.23%) and Consumer Staples (up 11.12%).

FUND PERFORMANCE

The most positive contributor to the fund’s performance was its overweight relative to the Russell 2000^® Index in the Industrials and Materials sectors as well as stock selection in those sectors. Additionally, the fund’s stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary and Health Care sectors provided positive contributions to fund performance. The fund’s performance was negatively impacted by its underweight relative to the Russell 2000^® Index in the Information Technology sector and by its stock selection in that sector.

Individual stocks contributing to the fund’s out performance relative to the Russell 2000^® Index^® included: Crocs Inc., Chaparral Steel Co., Cleveland Cliffs Inc., Guess Inc., and Priceline.com Inc.

Individual stocks detracting from the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 2000^® Index included: Downey Financial Corp., Daktronics Inc., Group 1 Automotive, Aquantive Inc., and Landamerica Financial Group.

4 The Russell Midcap^® Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000^® Index, which represent approximately 31% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000^® Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

5 Russell Top 200^® Index measures the performance of the 200 largest companies in the Russell 1000^® Index, which represents approximately 69% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000^® Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

6 The Russell 3000^® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000^® Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000^® Growth or the Russell 2000^® Growth indexes. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

7 The Russell 3000^® Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000^® Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000^® Value or the Russell 2000^® Value indexes. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

GROWTH OF A $25,000 INVESTMENT - INSTITUTIONAL SHARES

The graph below illustrates the hypothetical investment of $25,000¹ in the Federated MDT Small Cap Core Fund (Institutional Shares) (the “Fund”) from September 15, 2005 (start of performance) to July 31, 2007, compared to the Russell 2000^® Index² and the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index.³

1 Represents a hypothetical investment of $25,000 in the Fund. The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The Russell 2000^® Index and the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indexes.

2 The Russell 2000^® Index is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission requires to be reflected in the Fund’s performance. The Russell 2000^® Index is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Notes to Financial Statements

July 31, 2007

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated MDT Series (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of eight portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated MDT Small Cap Core Fund (the “Fund”), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses. The Fund offers three classes of shares: Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The financial highlights of the Class A Shares and Class C Shares are presented separately. The primary investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation.

MDT Small Cap Core Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into the Fund as of the close of business on December 8, 2006. Prior to the reorganization, the Fund had no investment operations. The Fund is the successor to the Predecessor Fund, which commenced operations on September 15, 2005.

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

Market values of the Fund’s portfolio securities are determined as follows:

• for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available;
• in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;
• for investments in other open-end registered investment companies, based on net asset value (NAV);
• futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) may determine in good faith that another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value;
• prices for total return swaps are based upon a valuation model determined by management incorporating underlying reference indexes, interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors; prices for credit default swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating default probabilities, recovery rates and other market data or factors; prices for interest rate swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors;
• for mortgage-backed securities, based on the aggregate investment value of the projected cash flows to be generated by the security, as furnished by an independent pricing service;
• for other fixed-income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed-income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost; and
• for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Prices for fixed-income securities furnished by a pricing service may be based on a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Such prices (other than prices of mortgage-backed securities) are generally intended to be indicative of the bid prices currently offered to institutional investors for the securities, except that prices for corporate fixed-income and asset-backed securities traded in the United States are generally intended to be indicative of the mean between such bid prices and asked prices. The Trustees have approved the use of such pricing services. A number of pricing services are available, and the Fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or other financial institutions that trade the securities.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its NAV, the Fund values foreign securities using the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation is done by others under the direction of Fund management. An event is considered material if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value.

Repurchase Agreements

It is the policy of the Fund to require the other party to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Fund holds a “securities entitlement” and exercises “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Fund has established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the other party to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

With respect to agreements to repurchase U.S. government securities and cash items, the Fund treats the repurchase agreement as an investment in the underlying securities and not as an obligation of the other party to the repurchase agreement. Other repurchase agreements are treated as obligations of the other party secured by the underlying securities. Nevertheless, the insolvency of the other party or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Fund to receive less than the full repurchase price. Under the terms of the repurchase agreement, any amounts received by the Fund in excess of the repurchase price and related transaction costs must be remitted to the other party.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in which eligible securities are transferred into joint trading accounts maintained by the custodian or sub-custodian for investment companies and other clients advised by the Fund’s adviser and its affiliates. The Fund will participate on a pro rata basis with the other investment companies and clients in its share of the securities transferred under such repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of such securities.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class may bear certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. 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

All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes.

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 income tax is necessary.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Fund 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.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

1 Reflects operations for the period from September 15, 2005 (date of initial public investment) to July 31, 2006.

Redemption Fees

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund imposed a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders of the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares who redeem shares held for 30 days or less. Shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions of the Fund, or purchased pursuant to the Systematic Investment Program or withdrawn pursuant to the Systematic Withdrawal Program, were not subject to the redemption fee. All redemption fees were recorded by the Fund as additions to paid-in-capital. For the year ended July 31, 2007, there were no redemption fees.

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 net operating loss.

For the year ended July 31, 2007, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)	Accumulated Net Realized Gains
$55,417	$(55,417)

Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

As of July 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	504,934
Undistributed long-term capital gain	$	37,926
Net unrealized appreciation	$	43,619

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for the deferral of losses on wash sales.

At July 31, 2007 the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $9,348,893. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $43,619. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $762,897 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $719,278.

The Fund used capital loss carryforwards of $1,329 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended July 31, 2007.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated MDTA LLC is the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The advisory agreement between the Fund and Adviser provides for an annual fee equal to 1.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Prior to December 8, 2006, the Adviser received an annual investment adviser fee equal to 1.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Under the investment advisory contract, which is subject to annual review by the Trustees, the Adviser will waive all or a portion of the advisory fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes and brokerage commissions) in order to contractually limit the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses to no more than the following annual percentages for each Class of the Fund based on average daily net assets:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Institutional Shares	1.80%
Class A Shares	2.05%
Class C Shares	2.80%

The Adviser has agreed to keep these contractual limitations in place through December 8, 2008.

In addition, after fulfilling its contractual commitment, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive and/or reimburse any portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser waived $66,575 and reimbursed $264,140 of other operating expenses.

Administrative Fee

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement (the “Agreement”), provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of certain Federated funds as specified below:

Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. During the period from July 15, 2006 through December 8, 2006, the administrator contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fee which it would otherwise be entitled to receive from the Fund under the Agreement. The level of fees payable by the Fund to FAS for the period will not exceed the level of fees which the Fund would have paid during the period to its previous service provider under its previous administrative services contract. In addition, FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the net fee paid to FAS was 2.197% of average daily net assets of the Fund. FAS waived $105,608 of its fee.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act which became effective on December 11, 2006. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (FSC), the principal distributor, from the daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class C Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of up to the following percentages of average daily net assets annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	0.75%

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund incurred distribtuion expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	1.00%

When FSC receives fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase shares. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $17,610 of fees paid by the Fund.

Sales Charges

For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $1,761 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. FSC also retained $1,113 of contingent deferred sales charges relating to redemptions of Class C Shares. See “What Do Shares Cost?” in the Prospectus.

Shareholder Services Fee

Effective December 11, 2006, the Fund may pay fees (Service Fees) up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class C Shares to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. Financial intermediaries may include a company affiliated with management of Federated Investors, Inc. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSSC did not receive any fees paid by the Fund.

Sales	$	13,340,832

7. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates in a $150,000,000 unsecured, uncommitted revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement with PNC Bank. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 0.65% over the federal funds rate. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

8. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from other participating affiliated funds. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the program was not utilized.

9. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, “Federated”), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated (“Funds”) were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. 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. These lawsuits began to be filed shortly after Federated’s first public announcement that it had received requests for information on shareholder trading activities in the Funds from the SEC, the Office of the New York State Attorney General (“NYAG”), and other authorities. In that regard, on November 28, 2005, Federated announced that it had reached final settlements with the SEC and the NYAG with respect to those matters. As Federated previously reported in 2004, it has already paid approximately $8.0 million to certain funds as determined by an independent consultant. As part of these settlements, Federated agreed to pay for the benefit of fund shareholders additional disgorgement and a civil money penalty in the aggregate amount of an additional $72 million. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and intend to defend this litigation. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these lawsuits, all of which seek unquantified damages, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do 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 the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Recent SEC guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in fund NAV calculations as late as a fund’s last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the Fund will adopt FIN 48 no later than January 31, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

In addition, in September 2006, FASB released Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED MDT SERIES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MDT SMALL CAP CORE FUND

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated MDT Small Cap Core Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the portfolios constituting Federated MDT Series), including the portfolio of investments, as of July 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated MDT Small Cap Core Fund, a portfolio of Federated MDT Series, at July 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract

FEDERATED MDT SMALL CAP CORE FUND (THE “FUND”)

The Fund’s Board reviewed the Fund’s investment advisory contract at meetings held in May 2007. The Board’s decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

In this connection, the Federated funds had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent written evaluation that covered topics discussed below. The Board considered that evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract.

During its review of the contract, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser. This included the fees received for services provided to the Fund by other entities in the Federated organization and research services received by the Adviser from brokers that execute Federated fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser’s fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the performance of the Fund; the Adviser’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as the Fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant bearing on the Adviser’s services and fees. The Board further considered management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser for what might be viewed as like services, and costs to the Adviser and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit and profit margins of the Adviser and its affiliates from supplying such services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund’s advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by the advice of independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, the Board has requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer’s evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional reports in connection with the particular meeting at which the Board’s formal review of the advisory contract occurred. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board’s consideration of the advisory contract included review of the Senior Officer’s evaluation, accompanying data and additional reports covering such matters as: the Adviser’s investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund’s short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund’s investment objectives; the Fund’s expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund’s portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund’s relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated’s responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board’s evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.

With respect to the Fund’s performance and expenses in particular, the Board has found the use of comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be particularly useful, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because, simply put, they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund’s investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes. The Fund’s ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Fund’s investment program, which in turn assisted the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser’s investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract. In this regard, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated’s fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences included, but are not limited to targeting different investors, being subject to different laws and regulations, different legal structure, distribution costs, average account size and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be significant in determining the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory contracts.

The Senior Officer reviewed reports compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups are highly important in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.

For the one year period ending December 31, 2006, the Fund’s performance was above the median of the relevant peer group.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including reports on the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. These reports covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated’s subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds’ administrator). The reports also discussed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate.

Federated furnished reports, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund by fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund by fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, although they may apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs (and the unavoidable arbitrary aspects of that exercise) and the lack of consensus on how to allocate those costs may render such allocation reports unreliable. The allocation reports were considered in the analysis by the Board but were determined to be of limited use.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed a report compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer noted the limited availability of such information, but nonetheless concluded that Federated’s profit margins did not appear to be excessive and the Board agreed.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant additional investments in areas such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, compliance, and risk management functions; distribution efforts; and systems technology; that support all of the Federated funds, and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund complex as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which (as discussed in independently prepared materials included in the Senior Officer’s evaluation) is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with “breakpoints” that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size. The Senior Officer did not recommend institution of breakpoints in pricing Federated’s fund advisory services at this time.

It was noted that for the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, the Fund’s investment advisory fee was waived in its entirety. The Board reviewed the contractual fee rate and other expenses of the Fund with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation noted his belief that the information and observations contained in his evaluation supported his finding that the proposed management fees are reasonable, and that Federated appeared to provide appropriate administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund’s advisory contract. For 2006, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates were satisfactory.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board’s approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund.

The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board’s decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated’s performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of cost: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2007 to July 31, 2007.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

	Beginning Account Value 2/1/2007	Ending Account Value 7/31/2007	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual:
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,116.40	$9.03
Class C Shares	$1,000	$1,112.40	$12.94
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses):
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,016.27	$8.60
Class C Shares	$1,000	$1,012.55	$12.33

1 Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratios, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The annualized net expense ratios are as follows:

Class A Shares	1.72%
Class C Shares	2.47%

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The fund’s total return for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007 was 22.29% for Class A Shares, and 21.39% for Class C Shares.¹ The total return of the Russell 2000^® Growth Index was 16.83% for the same period.² The fund’s total return for the fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses which were not reflected in the total return of the Russell 2000^® Growth Index. The total return of the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index was 19.51% for the same period.³

MARKET OVERVIEW

Over the twelve month reporting period ended July 31, 2007, domestic equity markets enjoyed a positive, if somewhat rocky, performance highlighted by a sudden decline in late February and another decline as the reporting period ended in July. The Russell 3000^® Index, which represents the performance of the 3000 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization, finished the period up a solid 16.08%. Mid-cap stocks lead the way as demonstrated by the 18.93% return on the Russell Midcap^® Index⁴, which exceeded the 15.48% and 12.12% results for the Russell Top 200^® Index⁵ and the Russell 2000^® Index,⁶ respectively. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks by a wide margin during the year with the Russell 3000^® Growth Index⁷ returning 19.24% as compared to 12.97% for the Russell 3000^® Value Index.⁸

1 The fund is the successor to the MDT Small Cap Growth Fund pursuant to a reorganization that took place on December 8, 2006. Prior to that date, the fund had no investment operations. Accordingly, the performance information provided is historical information of the MDT Small Cap Growth Fund. Small company stocks may be less liquid and subject to greater price volatility than large capitalization stocks.

2 The Russell 2000^® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 2000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

3 The Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index is an average of funds that, by portfolio practice, invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) less than 250% of the dollar-weighted median of the smallest 500 of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Small-cap growth funds typically have an average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value, compared to the S&P SmallCap 600 Index.

4 The Russell Midcap^® Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000^® Index, which represent approximately 31% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000^® Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

5 Russell Top 200^® Index measures the performance of the 200 largest companies in the Russell 1000^® Index, which represents approximately 69% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000^® Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

6 The Russell 2000^® Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000^® Index, which represents approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000^® Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

7 The Russell 3000^® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000^® Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000^® Growth or the Russell 2000^® Growth indexes. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

8 The Russell 3000^® Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000^® Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000^® Value or the Russell 2000^® Value indexes. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

Performance data quoted represents past performance which is no guarantee 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. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than what is stated. For current to the most recent month-end performance and after-tax returns, visit FederatedInvestors.com or call 1-800-341-7400.

The best performing sectors during the reporting period in the Russell 3000^® Index were Materials (up 35.67%), Telecommunication Services (up 30.35%) and Information Technology (up 29.43%). Underperforming sectors included Financials (up just 2.11%, negatively influenced by a disruption in credit markets late in the reporting period), Health Care (up 8.23%) and Consumer Staples (up 11.12%).

FUND PERFORMANCE

The most positive contributor to the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 2000^® Growth Index was its stock selection in the Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, Financials, and Health Care sectors. Additionally, the fund’s underweight in the Financial Services sector contributed positively to relative performance. The fund’s performance was negatively impacted by its stock selection in the Consumer Staples sector. The fund’s stock selection and underweight in the Information Technology sector also detracted from relative performance.

Individual stocks contributing to the fund’s out performance relative to the Russell 2000^® Growth Index included: Crocs Inc., Chaparral Steel Co., Manitowoc Inc., Priceline.com Inc., and Wellcare Group Inc.

Individual stocks detracting from the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 2000^® Growth Index included: Hansen National Corp., Aquantive Inc., EGL Inc., Daktronics Inc., and Logitech International.

GROWTH OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT -- CLASS A SHARES

The graph below illustrates the hypothetical investment of $10,000¹ in the Federated MDT Small Cap Growth Fund (Class A Shares) (the “Fund”) from September 15, 2005 (start of performance) to July 31, 2007, compared to the Russell 2000^® Growth Index² and the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index.³

Notes to Financial Statements

July 31, 2007

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated MDT Series (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of eight portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated MDT Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses. The Fund offers three classes of shares: Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The financial highlights of the Institutional Shares are presented separately. The primary investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation.

MDT Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into the Fund as of the close of business on December 8, 2006. Prior to the reorganization, the Fund had no investment operations. The Fund is the successor to the Predecessor Fund, which commenced operations on September 15, 2005.

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

Market values of the Fund’s portfolio securities are determined as follows:

• for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available;
• in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;
• for investments in other open-end registered investment companies, based on net asset value (NAV);
• futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) may determine in good faith that another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value;
• prices for total return swaps are based upon a valuation model determined by management incorporating underlying reference indexes, interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors; prices for credit default swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating default probabilities, recovery rates and other market data or factors; prices for interest rate swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors;
• for mortgage-backed securities, based on the aggregate investment value of the projected cash flows to be generated by the security, as furnished by an independent pricing service;
• for other fixed-income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed-income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost; and
• for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Prices for fixed-income securities furnished by a pricing service may be based on a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Such prices (other than prices of mortgage-backed securities) are generally intended to be indicative of the bid prices currently offered to institutional investors for the securities, except that prices for corporate fixed-income and asset-backed securities traded in the United States are generally intended to be indicative of the mean between such bid prices and asked prices. The Trustees have approved the use of such pricing services. A number of pricing services are available, and the Fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or other financial institutions that trade the securities.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its NAV, the Fund values foreign securities using the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation is done by others under the direction of Fund management. An event is considered material if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value.

Repurchase Agreements

It is the policy of the Fund to require the other party to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Fund holds a “securities entitlement” and exercises “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Fund has established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the other party to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

With respect to agreements to repurchase U.S. government securities and cash items, the Fund treats the repurchase agreement as an investment in the underlying securities and not as an obligation of the other party to the repurchase agreement. Other repurchase agreements are treated as obligations of the other party secured by the underlying securities. Nevertheless, the insolvency of the other party or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Fund to receive less than the full repurchase price. Under the terms of the repurchase agreement, any amounts received by the Fund in excess of the repurchase price and related transaction costs must be remitted to the other party.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in which eligible securities are transferred into joint trading accounts maintained by the custodian or sub-custodian for investment companies and other clients advised by the Fund’s adviser and its affiliates. The Fund will participate on a pro rata basis with the other investment companies and clients in its share of the securities transferred under such repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of such securities.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class may bear certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. 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

All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes.

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 income tax is necessary.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Fund 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.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

1 Reflects operations for the period from September 15, 2005 (date of initial public investment) to July 31, 2006.

Redemption Fees

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund imposed a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders of the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares who redeem shares held for 30 days or less. Shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions of the Fund, or purchased pursuant to the Systematic Investment Program or withdrawn pursuant to the Systematic Withdrawal Program, were not subject to the redemption fee. All redemption fees were recorded by the Fund as additions to paid-in capital. For the year ended July 31, 2007, there were no redemption fees.

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 to differing treatments for net operating loss.

For the year ended July 31, 2007, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)	Accumulated Net Realized Gains
$58,015	$(58,015)

Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

As of July 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	149,765
Undistributed long-term capital gain	$	23,334
Net unrealized appreciation	$	577,432

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for the deferral of losses on wash sales.

At July 31, 2007, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $16,830,661. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $577,432. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $1,265,902 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $688,470.

The Fund used capital loss carryforwards of $1,761 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended July 31, 2007.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated MDTA LLC is the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The advisory agreement between the Fund and Adviser provides for an annual fee equal to 1.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Prior to December 8, 2006, the Adviser received an annual investment adviser fee equal to 1.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Under the investment advisory contract, which is subject to annual review by the Trustees, the Adviser will waive all or a portion of the advisory fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes and brokerage commissions) in order to contractually limit the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses to no more than the following annual percentages for each Class of the Fund based on average daily net assets:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Institutional Shares	1.80%
Class A Shares	2.05%
Class C Shares	2.80%

The Adviser has agreed to keep these contractual limitations in place through December 8, 2008.

In addition, after fulfilling its contractual commitment, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive and/or reimburse any additional portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser waived $59,856 and reimbursed $268,027 of other operating expenses.

Administrative Fee

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement (the “Agreement”), provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of certain Federated funds as specified below:

Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. During the period from July 15, 2006 through December 8, 2006, the administrator contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fee which it would otherwise be entitled to receive from the Fund under the Agreement. The level of fees payable by the Fund to FAS for the period will not exceed the level of fees which the Fund would have paid during the period to its previous service provider under its previous administrative services contract. In addition, FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the net fee paid to FAS was 2.387% of average daily net assets of the Fund. FAS waived $106,394 of its fee.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act which became effective on December 11, 2006. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (FSC), the principal distributor, from the daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class C Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of up to the following percentages of average daily net assets annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	0.75%

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund incurred distribution expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	1.00%

When FSC receives fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase shares. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $3,751 of fees paid by the Fund.

Sales Charges

For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $374 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. See “What Do Shares Cost?” in the Prospectus.

Shareholder Services Fee

Effective December 11, 2006, the Fund may pay fees (Service Fees) up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class C Shares to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSSC did not receive any fees paid by the Fund.

Expense Limitation

The Adviser and its affiliates (which may include FSC, FAS and FSSC) have voluntarily agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total operating expenses (including the distribution (12b-1) fee) paid by the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 1.50%, 1.75% and 2.50%, respectively, for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2008. Although these actions are voluntary, the Adviser and its affiliates have agreed not to terminate these waivers and/or reimbursements until after September 30, 2008.

General

Certain of the Officers and Trustees of the Fund are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.

Transactions with Affiliated Companies

Affiliated holdings are mutual funds which are managed by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund for certain investment adviser fees as a result of transactions in other affiliated mutual funds. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser reimbursed $35 in connection with the affiliated mutual fund listed below. Transactions with the affiliated company during the year ended July 31, 2007 are as follows:

Affiliate	Balance of Shares Held 7/31/2006	Purchases/ Additions	Sales/ Reductions	Balance of Shares Held 7/31/2007	Value	Dividend Income
Prime Value Obligations Fund, Institutional Shares	--	2,121,581	1,803,677	317,904	$317,904	$2,293

6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations, for the year ended July 31, 2007, were as follows:

Purchases	$	23,896,517
Sales	$	8,396,404

7. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates in a $150,000,000 unsecured, uncommitted revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement with PNC Bank. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 0.65% over the federal funds rate. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

8. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from other participating affiliated funds. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the program was not utilized.

9. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, “Federated”), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated (“Funds”) were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. 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. These lawsuits began to be filed shortly after Federated’s first public announcement that it had received requests for information on shareholder trading activities in the Funds from the SEC, the Office of the New York State Attorney General (“NYAG”), and other authorities. In that regard, on November 28, 2005, Federated announced that it had reached final settlements with the SEC and the NYAG with respect to those matters. As Federated previously reported in 2004, it has already paid approximately $8.0 million to certain funds as determined by an independent consultant. As part of these settlements, Federated agreed to pay for the benefit of fund shareholders additional disgorgement and a civil money penalty in the aggregate amount of an additional $72 million. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and intend to defend this litigation. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these lawsuits, all of which seek unquantified damages, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do 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 the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Recent SEC guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in fund NAV calculations as late as a fund’s last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the Fund will adopt FIN 48 no later than January 31, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

In addition, in September 2006, FASB released Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED MDT SERIES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MDT SMALL CAP GROWTH FUND

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated MDT Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the portfolios constituting Federated MDT Series), including the portfolio of investments, as of July 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated MDT Small Cap Growth Fund, a portfolio of Federated MDT Series, at July 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract

FEDERATED MDT SMALL CAP GROWTH FUND (THE “FUND”)

The Fund’s Board reviewed the Fund’s investment advisory contract at meetings held in May 2007. The Board’s decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

In this connection, the Federated funds had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent written evaluation that covered topics discussed below. The Board considered that evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract.

During its review of the contract, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser. This included the fees received for services provided to the Fund by other entities in the Federated organization and research services received by the Adviser from brokers that execute Federated fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser’s fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the performance of the Fund; the Adviser’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as the Fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant bearing on the Adviser’s services and fees. The Board further considered management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser for what might be viewed as like services, and costs to the Adviser and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit and profit margins of the Adviser and its affiliates from supplying such services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund’s advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by the advice of independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, the Board has requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer’s evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional reports in connection with the particular meeting at which the Board’s formal review of the advisory contract occurred. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board’s consideration of the advisory contract included review of the Senior Officer’s evaluation, accompanying data and additional reports covering such matters as: the Adviser’s investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund’s short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund’s investment objectives; the Fund’s expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund’s portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund’s relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated’s responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board’s evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.

With respect to the Fund’s performance and expenses in particular, the Board has found the use of comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be particularly useful, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because, simply put, they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund’s investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes. The Fund’s ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Fund’s investment program, which in turn assisted the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser’s investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract. In this regard, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated’s fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences included, but are not limited to targeting different investors, being subject to different laws and regulations, different legal structure, distribution costs, average account size and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be significant in determining the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory contracts.

The Senior Officer reviewed reports compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups are highly important in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.

The Fund’s performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for the one year period ending December 31, 2006. The Board discussed the Fund’s performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and the performance of the Fund.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including reports on the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. These reports covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated’s subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds’ administrator). The reports also discussed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate.

Federated furnished reports, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund by fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund by fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, although they may apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs (and the unavoidable arbitrary aspects of that exercise) and the lack of consensus on how to allocate those costs may render such allocation reports unreliable. The allocation reports were considered in the analysis by the Board but were determined to be of limited use.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed a report compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer noted the limited availability of such information, but nonetheless concluded that Federated’s profit margins did not appear to be excessive and the Board agreed.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant additional investments in areas such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, compliance, and risk management functions; distribution efforts; and systems technology; that support all of the Federated funds, and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund complex as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which (as discussed in independently prepared materials included in the Senior Officer’s evaluation) is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with “breakpoints” that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size. The Senior Officer did not recommend institution of breakpoints in pricing Federated’s fund advisory services at this time.

It was noted that for the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, the Fund’s investment advisory fee was waived in its entirety. The Board reviewed the contractual fee rate and other expenses of the Fund with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation noted his belief that the information and observations contained in his evaluation supported his finding that the proposed management fees are reasonable, and that Federated appeared to provide appropriate administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund’s advisory contract. For 2006, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates were satisfactory.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board’s approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund.

The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board’s decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated’s performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

1 MDT Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into Federated MDT Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) as of the close of business on December 8, 2006. Prior to the reorganization, the Fund had no investment operations. The Fund is the successor to the Predecessor Fund. The performance information and financial information presented incorporates the operations of the Predecessor Fund, which, as a result of the reorganization, are the Fund’s operations.

2 Reflects operations for the period from September 15, 2005 (date of initial public investment) to
July 31, 2006.

3 Per share numbers have been calculated using the average shares method.

4 Based on net asset value, which does not reflect the sales charge, redemption fee, or contingent deferred sales charge, if applicable. Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.

5 Computed on an annualized basis.

6 This expense decrease is reflected in both the net expense and the net investment income (loss) ratios shown above.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2007 to July 31, 2007.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

	Beginning Account Value 2/1/2007	Ending Account Value 7/31/2007	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual	$1,000	$1,117.60	$7.88
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses)	$1,000	$1,017.36	$7.50

1 Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio of 1.50%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The fund’s total return for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007 was 22.71% for Institutional Shares.¹ The total return of the Russell 2000^® Growth Index was 16.83% for the same period.² The fund’s total return for the fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses which were not reflected in the total return of the Russell 2000^® Growth Index. The total return of the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index was 19.51% for the same period.³

1 The fund is the successor to the MDT Small Cap Growth Fund pursuant to a reorganization that took place on December 8, 2006. Prior to that date, the fund had no investment operations. Accordingly, the performance information provided is historical information of the MDT Small Cap Growth Fund. Small company stocks may be less liquid and subject to greater price volatility than large capitalization stocks.

2 The Russell 2000^® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 2000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

3 The Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index is an average of funds that, by portfolio practice, invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) less than 250% of the dollar-weighted median of the smallest 500 of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Small-cap growth funds typically have an average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value, compared to the S&P SmallCap 600 Index.

Performance data quoted represents past performance which is no guarantee 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. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than what is stated. For current to the most recent month-end performance and after-tax returns, visit FederatedInvestors.com or call 1-800-341-7400.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Over the twelve month reporting period ended July 31, 2007, domestic equity markets enjoyed a positive, if somewhat rocky, performance highlighted by a sudden decline in late February and another decline as the reporting period ended in July. The Russell 3000 Index, which represents the performance of the 3000 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization, finished the period up a solid 16.08%. Mid-cap stocks lead the way as demonstrated by the 18.93% return on the Russell Midcap^® Index⁴, which exceeded the 15.48% and 12.12% results for the Russell Top 200^® Index⁵ and the Russell 2000^® Index,⁶ respectively. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks by a wide margin during the year with the Russell 3000^® Growth Index⁷ returning 19.24% as compared to 12.97% for the Russell 3000^® Value Index.⁸

The best performing sectors during the reporting period in the Russell 3000^® Index were Materials (up 35.67%), Telecommunication Services (up 30.35%) and Information Technology (up 29.43%). Underperforming sectors included Financials (up just 2.11%, negatively influenced by a disruption in credit markets late in the reporting period), Health Care (up 8.23%) and Consumer Staples (up 11.12%).

FUND PERFORMANCE

The most positive contributor to the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 2000^® Growth Index was its stock selection in the Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, Financials, and Health Care sectors. Additionally, the fund’s underweight in the Financial Services sector contributed positively to relative performance. The fund’s performance was negatively impacted by its stock selection in the Consumer Staples sector. The fund’s stock selection and underweight in the Information Technology sector also detracted from relative performance.

Individual stocks contributing to the fund’s out performance relative to the Russell 2000^® Growth Index included: Crocs Inc., Chaparral Steel Co., Manitowoc Inc., Priceline.com Inc., and Wellcare Group Inc.

Individual stocks detracting from the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 2000^® Growth Index included: Hansen National Corp., Aquantive Inc., EGL Inc., Daktronics Inc., and Logitech International.

4 The Russell Midcap^® Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000^® Index, which represent approximately 31% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000^® Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

5 Russell Top 200^® Index measures the performance of the 200 largest companies in the Russell 1000^® Index, which represents approximately 69% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000^® Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

6 The Russell 2000^® Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000^® Index, which represents approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000^® Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

7 The Russell 3000^® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000^® Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000^® Growth or the Russell 2000^® Growth indexes. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

8 The Russell 3000^® Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000^® Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000^® Value or the Russell 2000^® Value indexes. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

GROWTH OF A $25,000 INVESTMENT -- INSTITUTIONAL SHARES

The graph below illustrates the hypothetical investment of $25,000¹ in the Federated MDT Small Cap Growth Fund (Institutional Shares) (the “Fund”) from September 15, 2005 (start of performance) to July 31, 2007, compared to the Russell 2000^® Growth Index² and the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index.³

Average Annual Total Returns for the Period Ended 7/31/2007
1 Year	22.71%
Start of Performance (9/15/2005)	15.10%

Performance data quoted represents past performance which is no guarantee 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. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than what is stated. For current to the most recent month-end performance and after-tax returns, visit FederatedInvestors.com or call 1-800-341-7400. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Mutual funds are not obligations of or guaranteed by any bank and are not federally insured.

1 Represents a hypothetical investment of $25,000 in the Fund. The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The Russell 2000^® Growth Index and the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indexes.

2 The Russell 2000^® Growth Index is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission requires to be reflected in the Fund’s performance. The Russell 2000^® Growth Index is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

3 Lipper figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. as falling into the respective categories indicated. Lipper figures do not reflect sales charges.

Notes to Financial Statements

July 31, 2007

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated MDT Series (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of eight portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated MDT Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses. The Fund offers three classes of shares: Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The financial highlights of the Class A Shares and Class C Shares are presented separately. The primary investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation.

MDT Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into the Fund as of the close of business on December 8, 2006. Prior to the reorganization, the Fund had no investment operations. The Fund is the successor to the Predecessor Fund, which commenced operations on September 15, 2005.

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

Market values of the Fund’s portfolio securities are determined as follows:

• for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available;
• in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;
• for investments in other open-end registered investment companies, based on net asset value (NAV);
• futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) may determine in good faith that another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value;
• prices for total return swaps are based upon a valuation model determined by management incorporating underlying reference indexes, interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors; prices for credit default swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating default probabilities, recovery rates and other market data or factors; prices for interest rate swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors;
• for mortgage-backed securities, based on the aggregate investment value of the projected cash flows to be generated by the security, as furnished by an independent pricing service;
• for other fixed-income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed-income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost; and
• for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Prices for fixed-income securities furnished by a pricing service may be based on a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Such prices (other than prices of mortgage-backed securities) are generally intended to be indicative of the bid prices currently offered to institutional investors for the securities, except that prices for corporate fixed-income and asset-backed securities traded in the United States are generally intended to be indicative of the mean between such bid prices and asked prices. The Trustees have approved the use of such pricing services. A number of pricing services are available, and the Fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or other financial institutions that trade the securities.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its NAV, the Fund values foreign securities using the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation is done by others under the direction of Fund management. An event is considered material if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value.

Repurchase Agreements

It is the policy of the Fund to require the other party to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Fund holds a “securities entitlement” and exercises “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Fund has established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the other party to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

With respect to agreements to repurchase U.S. government securities and cash items, the Fund treats the repurchase agreement as an investment in the underlying securities and not as an obligation of the other party to the repurchase agreement. Other repurchase agreements are treated as obligations of the other party secured by the underlying securities. Nevertheless, the insolvency of the other party or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Fund to receive less than the full repurchase price. Under the terms of the repurchase agreement, any amounts received by the Fund in excess of the repurchase price and related transaction costs must be remitted to the other party.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in which eligible securities are transferred into joint trading accounts maintained by the custodian or sub-custodian for investment companies and other clients advised by the Fund’s adviser and its affiliates. The Fund will participate on a pro rata basis with the other investment companies and clients in its share of the securities transferred under such repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of such securities.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class may bear certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. 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

All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes.

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 income tax is necessary.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Fund 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.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

1 Reflects operations for the period from September 15, 2005 (date of initial public investment) to July 31, 2006.

Redemption Fees

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund imposed a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders of the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares who redeem shares held for 30 days or less. Shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions of the Fund, or purchased pursuant to the Systematic Investment Program or withdrawn pursuant to the Systematic Withdrawal Program, were not subject to the redemption fee. All redemption fees were recorded by the Fund as additions to paid-in capital. For the year ended July 31, 2007, there were no redemption fees.

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 to differing treatments for net operating loss.

For the year ended July 31, 2007, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)	Accumulated Net Realized Gains
$58,015	$(58,015)

Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

As of July 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	149,765
Undistributed long-term capital gain	$	23,334
Net unrealized appreciation	$	577,432

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for the deferral of losses on wash sales.

At July 31, 2007, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $16,830,661. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $577,432. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $1,265,902 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $688,470.

The Fund used capital loss carryforwards of $1,761 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended July 31, 2007.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated MDTA LLC is the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The advisory agreement between the Fund and Adviser provides for an annual fee equal to 1.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Prior to December 8, 2006, the Adviser received an annual investment adviser fee equal to 1.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Under the investment advisory contract, which is subject to annual review by the Trustees, the Adviser will waive all or a portion of the advisory fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes and brokerage commissions) in order to contractually limit the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses to no more than the following annual percentages for each Class of the Fund based on average daily net assets:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Institutional Shares	1.80%
Class A Shares	2.05%
Class C Shares	2.80%

The Adviser has agreed to keep these contractual limitations in place through December 8, 2008.

In addition, after fulfilling its contractual commitment, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive and/or reimburse any additional portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser waived $59,856 and reimbursed $268,027 of other operating expenses.

Administrative Fee

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement (the “Agreement”), provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of certain Federated funds as specified below:

Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. During the period from July 15, 2006 through December 8, 2006, the administrator contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fee which it would otherwise be entitled to receive from the Fund under the Agreement. The level of fees payable by the Fund to FAS for the period will not exceed the level of fees which the Fund would have paid during the period to its previous service provider under its previous administrative services contract. In addition, FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the net fee paid to FAS was 2.387% of average daily net assets of the Fund. FAS waived $106,394 of its fee.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act which became effective on December 11, 2006. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (FSC), the principal distributor, from the daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class C Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of up to the following percentages of average daily net assets annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	0.75%

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund incurred distribtuion expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	1.00%

When FSC receives fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase shares. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $3,751 of fees paid by the Fund.

Sales Charges

For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $374 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. See “What Do Shares Cost?” in the Prospectus.

Shareholder Services Fee

Effective December 11, 2006, the Fund may pay fees (Service Fees) up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class C Shares to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSSC did not receive any fees paid by the Fund.

Expense Limitation

The Adviser and its affiliates (which may include FSC, FAS and FSSC) have voluntarily agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total operating expenses (including the distribution (12b-1) fee) paid by the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 1.50%, 1.75% and 2.50%, respectively, for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2008. Although these actions are voluntary, the Adviser and its affiliates have agreed not to terminate these waivers and/or reimbursements until after September 30, 2008.

General

Certain of the Officers and Trustees of the Fund are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.

Transactions with Affiliated Companies

Affiliated holdings are mutual funds which are managed by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund for certain investment adviser fees as a result of transactions in other affiliated mutual funds. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser reimbursed $35 in connection with the affiliated mutual fund listed below. Transactions with the affiliated company during the year ended July 31, 2007 are as follows:

Affiliate	Balance of Shares Held 7/31/2006	Purchases/ Additions	Sales/ Reductions	Balance of Shares Held 7/31/2007	Value	Dividend Income
Prime Value Obligations Fund, Institutional Shares	--	2,121,581	1,803,677	317,904	$317,904	$2,293

6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations, for the year ended July 31, 2007, were as follows:

Purchases	$	23,896,517
Sales	$	8,396,404

7. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates in a $150,000,000 unsecured, uncommitted revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement with PNC Bank. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 0.65% over the federal funds rate. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

8. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from other participating affiliated funds. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the program was not utilized.

9. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, “Federated”), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated (“Funds”) were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. 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. These lawsuits began to be filed shortly after Federated’s first public announcement that it had received requests for information on shareholder trading activities in the Funds from the SEC, the Office of the New York State Attorney General (“NYAG”), and other authorities. In that regard, on November 28, 2005, Federated announced that it had reached final settlements with the SEC and the NYAG with respect to those matters. As Federated previously reported in 2004, it has already paid approximately $8.0 million to certain funds as determined by an independent consultant. As part of these settlements, Federated agreed to pay for the benefit of fund shareholders additional disgorgement and a civil money penalty in the aggregate amount of an additional $72 million. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and intend to defend this litigation. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these lawsuits, all of which seek unquantified damages, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do 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 the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Recent SEC guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in fund NAV calculations as late as a fund’s last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the Fund will adopt FIN 48 no later than January 31, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

In addition, in September 2006, FASB released Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED MDT SERIES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MDT SMALL CAP GROWTH FUND

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated MDT Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the portfolios constituting Federated MDT Series), including the portfolio of investments, as of July 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated MDT Small Cap Growth Fund, a portfolio of Federated MDT Series, at July 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract

FEDERATED MDT SMALL CAP GROWTH FUND (THE “FUND”)

The Fund’s Board reviewed the Fund’s investment advisory contract at meetings held in May 2007. The Board’s decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

In this connection, the Federated funds had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent written evaluation that covered topics discussed below. The Board considered that evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract.

During its review of the contract, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser. This included the fees received for services provided to the Fund by other entities in the Federated organization and research services received by the Adviser from brokers that execute Federated fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser’s fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the performance of the Fund; the Adviser’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as the Fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant bearing on the Adviser’s services and fees. The Board further considered management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser for what might be viewed as like services, and costs to the Adviser and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit and profit margins of the Adviser and its affiliates from supplying such services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund’s advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by the advice of independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, the Board has requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer’s evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional reports in connection with the particular meeting at which the Board’s formal review of the advisory contract occurred. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board’s consideration of the advisory contract included review of the Senior Officer’s evaluation, accompanying data and additional reports covering such matters as: the Adviser’s investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund’s short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund’s investment objectives; the Fund’s expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund’s portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund’s relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated’s responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board’s evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.

With respect to the Fund’s performance and expenses in particular, the Board has found the use of comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be particularly useful, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because, simply put, they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund’s investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes. The Fund’s ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Fund’s investment program, which in turn assisted the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser’s investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract. In this regard, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated’s fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences included, but are not limited to targeting different investors, being subject to different laws and regulations, different legal structure, distribution costs, average account size and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be significant in determining the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory contracts.

The Senior Officer reviewed reports compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups are highly important in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.

The Fund’s performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for the one year period ending December 31, 2006. The Board discussed the Fund’s performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and the performance of the Fund.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including reports on the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. These reports covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated’s subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds’ administrator). The reports also discussed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate.

Federated furnished reports, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund by fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund by fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, although they may apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs (and the unavoidable arbitrary aspects of that exercise) and the lack of consensus on how to allocate those costs may render such allocation reports unreliable. The allocation reports were considered in the analysis by the Board but were determined to be of limited use.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed a report compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer noted the limited availability of such information, but nonetheless concluded that Federated’s profit margins did not appear to be excessive and the Board agreed.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant additional investments in areas such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, compliance, and risk management functions; distribution efforts; and systems technology; that support all of the Federated funds, and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund complex as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which (as discussed in independently prepared materials included in the Senior Officer’s evaluation) is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with “breakpoints” that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size. The Senior Officer did not recommend institution of breakpoints in pricing Federated’s fund advisory services at this time.

It was noted that for the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, the Fund’s investment advisory fee was waived in its entirety. The Board reviewed the contractual fee rate and other expenses of the Fund with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation noted his belief that the information and observations contained in his evaluation supported his finding that the proposed management fees are reasonable, and that Federated appeared to provide appropriate administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund’s advisory contract. For 2006, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates were satisfactory.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board’s approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund.

The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board’s decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated’s performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of cost: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2007 to July 31, 2007.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

	Beginning Account Value 2/1/2007	Ending Account Value 7/31/2007	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual:
Class A Shares	$1,000	$981.90	$8.60
Class C Shares	$1,000	$978.20	$12.26
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses):
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,016.12	$8.75
Class C Shares	$1,000	$1,012.40	$12.47

1 Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratios, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The annualized net expense ratios are as follows:

Class A Shares	1.75%
Class C Shares	2.50%

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The fund's total return for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007 was 7.16% for Class A Shares and 6.36% for Class C Shares.¹ The total return of the Russell 2000^® Value Index² (Russell 2000^® Value) was 7.67% for the same period. The fund's total return for the fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses which were not reflected in the total return of the Russell 2000^® Value. The total return of the Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Index³ was 13.52% for the same period.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Over the twelve month reporting period ended July 31, 2007, domestic equity markets enjoyed a positive, if somewhat rocky, performance highlighted by a sudden decline in late February and another decline as the reporting period ended in July. The Russell 3000^® Index,⁴ which represents the performance of the 3000 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization, finished the period up a solid 16.08%. Mid-cap stocks lead the way as demonstrated by the 18.93% return on the Russell Midcap^® Index,⁵ which exceeded the 15.48% and 12.12% results for

1 The fund is the successor to the MDT Small Cap Value Fund pursuant to a reorganization that took place on December 8, 2006. Prior to that date, the fund had no investment operations. Accordingly, the performance information provided is historical information of the MDT Small Cap Value Fund. Small Company stocks may be less liquid and subject to greater price volatility than large capitalization stocks.

2 The Russell 2000^® Value Index offers investors access to the small-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe. The Russell 2000 Value is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer of the small-cap value market. Based on ongoing empirical research of investment manager behavior, the methodology used to determine value probability approximates the aggregate small-cap value manager’s opportunity set. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

3 Lipper figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. as falling into the respective categories indicated. Lipper figures do not reflect sales charges.

4 The Russell 3000^® Index offers investors access to the broad U.S. equity universe representing approximately 98% of the U.S. market. The Russell 3000 is constructed to provide a comprehensive, unbiased, and stable barometer of the broad market and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected.

5 The Russell Midcap^® Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, which represent approximately 31% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee 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.

the Russell Top 200^® Index⁶ and the Russell 2000^® Index,⁷ respectively. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks by a wide margin during the year with the Russell 3000^® Growth Index⁸ returning 19.24% as compared to 12.97% for the Russell 3000^® Value Index.⁹

The best performing sectors during the reporting period in the Russell 3000^® Index were Materials (up 35.67%), Telecommunication Services (up 30.35%) and Information Technology (up 29.43%). Underperforming sectors included Financials (up just 2.11%, negatively influenced by a disruption in credit markets late in the reporting period), Health Care (up 8.23%) and Consumer Staples (up 11.12%).

Fund Performance

The most significant contributors to the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 2000^® Value were its overweight in the Industrials and Materials sectors and its stock selection in the Financials sector. Stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary sector also provided a modest contribution to relative performance. The fund was negatively impacted by its stock selection in the Information Technology sector. The fund’s underweight in this sector also detracted moderately from relative performance.

Individual stocks contributing to the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 2000^® Value included: Belden CDT Inc., Cleveland Cliffs Inc., Warnaco Group Inc., Greif Inc., and NBTY Inc.

Individual stocks detracting from the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 2000^® Value included: Amerco, EGL Inc., USEC Inc., RPC Inc., and Houston Exploration Co.

7 The Russell 2000^® Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, which represents approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

8 The Russell 3000^® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000 Growth or the Russell 2000 Growth indexes. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

9 The Russell 3000^® Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000 Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.

Notes to Financial Statements

July 31, 2007

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated MDT Series (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of eight portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated MDT Small Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses. The Fund offers three classes of shares: Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The financial highlights of the Institutional Shares are presented separately. The primary investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation.

MDT Small Cap Value Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into the Fund as of the close of business on December 8, 2006. Prior to the reorganization, the Fund had no investment operations. The Fund is the successor to the Predecessor Fund, which commenced operations on September 15, 2005.

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

Market values of the Fund’s portfolio securities are determined as follows:

• for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available;
• in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;
• for investments in other open-end registered investment companies, based on net asset value (NAV);
• futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) may determine in good faith that another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value;
• prices for total return swaps are based upon a valuation model determined by management incorporating underlying reference indexes, interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors; prices for credit default swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating default probabilities, recovery rates and other market data or factors; prices for interest rate swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors;
• for mortgage-backed securities, based on the aggregate investment value of the projected cash flows to be generated by the security, as furnished by an independent pricing service;
• for other fixed-income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed-income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost; and
• for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Prices for fixed-income securities furnished by a pricing service may be based on a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Such prices (other than prices of mortgage-backed securities) are generally intended to be indicative of the bid prices currently offered to institutional investors for the securities, except that prices for corporate fixed-income and asset-backed securities traded in the United States are generally intended to be indicative of the mean between such bid prices and asked prices. The Trustees have approved the use of such pricing services. A number of pricing services are available, and the Fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or other financial institutions that trade the securities.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its NAV, the Fund values foreign securities using the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation is done by others under the direction of Fund management. An event is considered material if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value.

Repurchase Agreements

It is the policy of the Fund to require the other party to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Fund holds a “securities entitlement” and exercises “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Fund has established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the other party to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

With respect to agreements to repurchase U.S. government securities and cash items, the Fund treats the repurchase agreement as an investment in the underlying securities and not as an obligation of the other party to the repurchase agreement. Other repurchase agreements are treated as obligations of the other party secured by the underlying securities. Nevertheless, the insolvency of the other party or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Fund to receive less than the full repurchase price. Under the terms of the repurchase agreement, any amounts received by the Fund in excess of the repurchase price and related transaction costs must be remitted to the other party.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in which eligible securities are transferred into joint trading accounts maintained by the custodian or sub-custodian for investment companies and other clients advised by the Fund’s adviser and its affiliates. The Fund will participate on a pro rata basis with the other investment companies and clients in its share of the securities transferred under such repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of such securities.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class may bear certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. 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

All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes.

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 income tax is necessary.

Withholding taxes and where appropriate, deferred withholding taxes on foreign interest dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Fund 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.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

1 Reflects operations for the period from September 15, 2005 (date of initial public investment) to July 31, 2006.

Redemption Fees

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund imposed a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders of the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares who redeem shares held for 30 days or less. Shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions of the Fund, or purchased pursuant to the Systematic Investment Program or withdrawn pursuant to the Systematic Withdrawal Program, were not subject to the redemption fee. All redemption fees were recorded by the Fund as additions to paid-in-capital.

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 to differing treatments for net operating loss.

For the year ended July 31, 2007, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)	Accumulated Net Realized Gains
$32,233	$(32,233)

Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

As of July 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	885,624
Undistributed long-term capital gain	$	14,807
Net unrealized depreciation	$	(698,402	)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for the deferral of losses on wash sales.

At July 31, 2007, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $15,826,416. The net unrealized depreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $698,402. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $427,015 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $1,125,417.

The Fund used capital loss carryforwards of $252 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended July 31, 2007.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated MDTA LLC is the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The advisory agreement between the Fund and Adviser provides for an annual fee equal to 1.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Prior to December 8, 2006, the Adviser received an annual investment adviser fee equal to 1.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Under the investment advisory contract, which is subject to annual review by the Trustees, the Adviser will waive all or a portion of the advisory fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes and brokerage commissions) in order to contractually limit the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses to no more than the following annual percentages for each Class of the Fund based on average daily net assets:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Institutional Shares	1.80%
Class A Shares	2.05%
Class C Shares	2.80%

The Adviser has agreed to keep these contractual limitations in place through December 8, 2008.

In addition, after fulfilling its contractual commitment, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive and/or reimburse any additional portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser waived $134,551 of its fee and reimbursed $178,277 of other operating expenses.

Administrative Fee

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement (the “Agreement”), provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of certain Federated funds as specified below:

Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. During the period from July 15, 2006 through December 8, 2006, the administrator contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fee which it would otherwise be entitled to receive from the Fund under the Agreement. The level of fees payable by the Fund to FAS for the period will not exceed the level of fees which the Fund would have paid during the period to its previous service provider under its previous administrative services contract. In addition, FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the net fee paid to FAS was 1.083% of average daily net assets of the Fund. FAS waived $105,281 of its fee.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act which became effective December 11, 2006. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (FSC), the principal distributor, from the daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class C Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of up to the following percentages of average daily net assets annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	0.75%

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund incurred distribution expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	1.00%

When FSC receives fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase shares. For the year ended Year July 31, 2007, FSC retained $4,411 of fees paid by the Fund.

Sales Charges

For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $1,605 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. FSC also retained $464 of contingent deferred sales charges relating to redemptions of Class C Shares. See “What Do Shares Cost?” in the Prospectus.

Shareholder Services Fee

Effective December 11, 2006, the Fund may pay fees (Service Fees) up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class C Shares to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSSC did not receive any fees paid by the Fund.

Expense Limitation

The Adviser and its affiliates (which may include FSC, FAS and FSSC) have voluntarily agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total operating expenses (including the distribution (12b-1) fee) paid by the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 1.50%, 1.75% and 2.50%, respectively, for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2008. Although these actions are voluntary, the Adviser and its affiliates have agreed not to terminate these waivers and/or reimbursements until after September 30, 2008.

General

Certain of the Officers and Trustees of the Trust are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.

Transactions with Affiliated Companies

Affiliated holdings are mutual funds which are managed by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund for certain investment adviser fees as a result of transactions in other affiliated mutual funds. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser reimbursed $19 in connection with the affiliated mutual fund listed below. Transactions with the affiliated company during the year ended July 31, 2007 are as follows:

Affiliate	Balance of Shares Held 7/31/2006	Purchases/ Additions	Sales/ Reductions	Balance of Shares Held 7/31/2007	Value	Dividend Income
Prime Value Obligations Fund, Institutional Shares	--	569,124	408,945	160,179	$160,179	$1,266

6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations, for the year ended July 31, 2007, were as follows:

Purchases	$	40,384,204
Sales	$	27,009,103

7. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates in a $150,000,000 unsecured, uncommitted revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement with PNC Bank. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 0.65% over the federal funds rate. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

8. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from other participating affiliated funds. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the program was not utilized.

9. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, “Federated”), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated (“Funds”) were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. 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. These lawsuits began to be filed shortly after Federated’s first public announcement that it had received requests for information on shareholder trading activities in the Funds from the SEC, the Office of the New York State Attorney General (“NYAG”), and other authorities. In that regard, on November 28, 2005, Federated announced that it had reached final settlements with the SEC and the NYAG with respect to those matters. As Federated previously reported in 2004, it has already paid approximately $8.0 million to certain funds as determined by an independent consultant. As part of these settlements, Federated agreed to pay for the benefit of fund shareholders additional disgorgement and a civil money penalty in the aggregate amount of an additional $72 million. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and intend to defend this litigation. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these lawsuits, all of which seek unquantified damages, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do 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 the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Recent SEC guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in fund NAV calculations as late as a fund’s last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the Fund will adopt FIN 48 no later than January 31, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

In addition, in September 2006, FASB released Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED MDT SERIES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MDT SMALL CAP VALUE FUND

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated MDT Small Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the portfolios constituting Federated MDT Series), including the portfolio of investments, as of July 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated MDT Small Cap Value Fund, a portfolio of Federated MDT Series, at July 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract

FEDERATED MDT SMALL CAP VALUE (THE “FUND”)

The Fund’s Board reviewed the Fund’s investment advisory contract at meetings held in May 2007. The Board’s decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

In this connection, the Federated funds had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent written evaluation that covered topics discussed below. The Board considered that evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract.

During its review of the contract, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser. This included the fees received for services provided to the Fund by other entities in the Federated organization and research services received by the Adviser from brokers that execute Federated fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser’s fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the performance of the Fund; the Adviser’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as the Fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant bearing on the Adviser’s services and fees. The Board further considered management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser for what might be viewed as like services, and costs to the Adviser and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit and profit margins of the Adviser and its affiliates from supplying such services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund’s advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by the advice of independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, the Board has requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer’s evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional reports in connection with the particular meeting at which the Board’s formal review of the advisory contract occurred. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board’s consideration of the advisory contract included review of the Senior Officer’s evaluation, accompanying data and additional reports covering such matters as: the Adviser’s investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund’s short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund’s investment objectives; the Fund’s expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund’s portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund’s relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated’s responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board’s evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.

With respect to the Fund’s performance and expenses in particular, the Board has found the use of comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be particularly useful, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because, simply put, they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund’s investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes. The Fund’s ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Fund’s investment program, which in turn assisted the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser’s investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract. In this regard, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated’s fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences included, but are not limited to targeting different investors, being subject to different laws and regulations, different legal structure, distribution costs, average account size and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be significant in determining the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory contracts.

The Senior Officer reviewed reports compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups are highly important in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.

The Fund’s performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for the one year period ending December 31, 2006. The Board discussed the Fund’s performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and the performance of the Fund.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including reports on the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. These reports covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated’s subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds’ administrator). The reports also discussed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate.

Federated furnished reports, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund by fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund by fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, although they may apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs (and the unavoidable arbitrary aspects of that exercise) and the lack of consensus on how to allocate those costs may render such allocation reports unreliable. The allocation reports were considered in the analysis by the Board but were determined to be of limited use.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed a report compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer noted the limited availability of such information, but nonetheless concluded that Federated’s profit margins did not appear to be excessive and the Board agreed.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant additional investments in areas such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, compliance, and risk management functions; distribution efforts; and systems technology; that support all of the Federated funds, and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund complex as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which (as discussed in independently prepared materials included in the Senior Officer’s evaluation) is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with “breakpoints” that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size. The Senior Officer did not recommend institution of breakpoints in pricing Federated’s fund advisory services at this time.

It was noted that for the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, the Fund’s investment advisory fee was waived in its entirety. The Board reviewed the contractual fee rate and other expenses of the Fund with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation noted his belief that the information and observations contained in his evaluation supported his finding that the proposed management fees are reasonable, and that Federated appeared to provide appropriate administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund’s advisory contract. For 2006, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates were satisfactory.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board’s approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund.

The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board’s decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated’s performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2007 to July 31, 2007.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

	Beginning Account Value 2/1/2007	Ending Account Value 7/31/2007	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual	$1,000	$982.80	$7.37
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses)	$1,000	$1,017.36	$7.50

1 Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio of 1.50%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The fund’s total return for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007 was 7.33% for Institutional Shares.¹ The total return of the Russell 2000^® Value Index² (Russell 2000^® Value) was 7.67% for the same period. The fund’s total return for the fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses which were not reflected in the total return of the Russell 2000^® Value. The total return of the Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Index³ was 14.14% for the same period.

1 The fund is the successor to the MDT Small Cap Value Fund pursuant to a reorganization that took place on December 8, 2006. Prior to that date, the fund had no investment operations. Accordingly, the performance information provided is historical information of the MDT Small Cap Value Fund. Small Company stocks may be less liquid and subject to greater price volatility than large capitalization stocks.

2 The Russell 2000^® Value Index offers investors access to the small-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe. The Russell 2000 Value is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer of the small-cap value market. Based on ongoing empirical research of investment manager behavior, the methodology used to determine value probability approximates the aggregate small-cap value manager’s opportunity set.

3 Lipper figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. as falling into the respective categories indicated. Lipper figures do not reflect sales charges.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Over the twelve month reporting period ended July 31, 2007, domestic equity markets enjoyed a positive, if somewhat rocky, performance highlighted by a sudden decline in late February and another decline as the reporting period ended in July. The Russell 3000^® Index⁴, which represents the performance of the 3000 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization, finished the period up a solid 16.08%. Mid-cap stocks lead the way as demonstrated by the 18.93% return on the Russell Midcap^® Index⁵, which exceeded the 15.48% and 12.12% results for the Russell Top 200^® Index⁶ and the Russell 2000^® Index⁷, respectively. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks by a wide margin during the year with the Russell 3000^® Growth Index⁸ returning 19.24% as compared to 12.97% for the Russell 3000^® Value Index.⁹

The best performing sectors during the reporting period in the Russell 3000^® Index were Materials (up 35.67%), Telecommunication Services (up 30.35%) and Information Technology (up 29.43%). Underperforming sectors included Financials (up just 2.11%, negatively influenced by a disruption in credit markets late in the reporting period), Health Care (up 8.23%) and Consumer Staples (up 11.12%).

4 The Russell 3000^® Index offers investors access to the broad U.S. equity universe representing approximately 98% of the U.S. market. The Russell 3000 is constructed to provide a comprehensive, unbiased, and stable barometer of the broad market and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected.

5 The Russell Midcap^® Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, which represent approximately 31% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

6 Russell Top 200^® Index measures the performance of the 200 largest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, which represents approximately 69% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

7 The Russell 2000^® Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, which represents approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

8 The Russell 3000^® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000 Growth or the Russell 2000 Growth indexes. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

9 The Russell 3000^® Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000 Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The stocks in this index are also members of either the Russell 1000 Value or the Russell 2000 Value indexes. The index is unmanaged and investments can not be made directly in an index.

FUND PERFORMANCE

The most significant contributors to the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 2000^® Value were its overweight in the Industrials and Materials sectors and its stock selection in the Financials sector. Stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary sector also provided a modest contribution to relative performance. The fund was negatively impacted by its stock selection in the Information Technology sector. The fund’s underweight in this sector also detracted moderately from relative performance.

Individual stocks contributing to the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 2000^® Value included: Belden CDT Inc., Cleveland Cliffs Inc., Warnaco Group Inc., Greif Inc., and NBTY Inc.

Individual stocks detracting from the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 2000^® Value included: Amerco, EGL Inc., USEC Inc., RPC Inc., and Houston Exploration Co.

Notes to Financial Statements

July 31, 2007

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated MDT Series (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of eight portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated MDT Small Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses. The Fund offers three classes of shares: Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The financial highlights of the Class A Shares and Class C Shares are presented separately. The primary investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation.

MDT Small Cap Value Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into the Fund as of the close of business on December 8, 2006. Prior to the reorganization, the Fund had no investment operations. The Fund is the successor to the Predecessor Fund, which commenced operations on September 15, 2005.

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

Market values of the Fund’s portfolio securities are determined as follows:

• for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available;
• in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;
• for investments in other open-end registered investment companies, based on net asset value (NAV);
• futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) may determine in good faith that another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value;
• prices for total return swaps are based upon a valuation model determined by management incorporating underlying reference indexes, interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors; prices for credit default swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating default probabilities, recovery rates and other market data or factors; prices for interest rate swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors;
• for mortgage-backed securities, based on the aggregate investment value of the projected cash flows to be generated by the security, as furnished by an independent pricing service;
• for other fixed-income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed-income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost; and
• for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Prices for fixed-income securities furnished by a pricing service may be based on a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Such prices (other than prices of mortgage-backed securities) are generally intended to be indicative of the bid prices currently offered to institutional investors for the securities, except that prices for corporate fixed-income and asset-backed securities traded in the United States are generally intended to be indicative of the mean between such bid prices and asked prices. The Trustees have approved the use of such pricing services. A number of pricing services are available, and the Fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or other financial institutions that trade the securities.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its NAV, the Fund values foreign securities using the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation is done by others under the direction of Fund management. An event is considered material if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value.

Repurchase Agreements

It is the policy of the Fund to require the other party to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Fund holds a “securities entitlement” and exercises “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Fund has established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the other party to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

With respect to agreements to repurchase U.S. government securities and cash items, the Fund treats the repurchase agreement as an investment in the underlying securities and not as an obligation of the other party to the repurchase agreement. Other repurchase agreements are treated as obligations of the other party secured by the underlying securities. Nevertheless, the insolvency of the other party or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Fund to receive less than the full repurchase price. Under the terms of the repurchase agreement, any amounts received by the Fund in excess of the repurchase price and related transaction costs must be remitted to the other party.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in which eligible securities are transferred into joint trading accounts maintained by the custodian or sub-custodian for investment companies and other clients advised by the Fund’s adviser and its affiliates. The Fund will participate on a pro rata basis with the other investment companies and clients in its share of the securities transferred under such repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of such securities.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class may bear certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. 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

All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes.

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 income tax is necessary.

Witholding taxes and where appropriate, deferred withholding taxes on foreign interest, dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Fund 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.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

1 Reflects operations for the period from September 15, 2005 (date of initial public investment) to July 31, 2006.

Redemption Fees

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund imposed a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders of the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares who redeem shares held for 30 days or less. Shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions of the Fund, or purchased pursuant to the Systematic Investment Program or withdrawn pursuant to the Systematic Withdrawal Program, were not subject to the redemption fee. All redemption fees were recorded by the Fund as additions to paid-in-capital.

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 to differing treatments for net operating loss.

For the year ended July 31, 2007, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)	Accumulated Net Realized Gains
$32,233	$(32,233)

Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

As of July 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	885,624
Undistributed long-term capital gain	$	14,807
Net unrealized depreciation	$	(698,402	)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for the deferral of losses on wash sales.

At July 31, 2007, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $15,826,416. The net unrealized depreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $698,402. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $427,015 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $1,125,417.

The Fund used capital loss carryforwards of $252 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended July 31, 2007.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated MDTA LLC is the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The advisory agreement between the Fund and Adviser provides for an annual fee equal to 1.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Prior to December 8, 2006, the Adviser received an annual investment adviser fee equal to 1.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Under the investment advisory contract, which is subject to annual review by the Trustees, the Adviser will waive all or a portion of the advisory fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes and brokerage commissions) in order to contractually limit the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses to no more than the following annual percentages for each Class of the Fund based on average daily net assets:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Institutional Shares	1.80%
Class A Shares	2.05%
Class C Shares	2.80%

The Adviser has agreed to keep these contractual limitations in place through December 8, 2008.

In addition, after fulfilling its contractual commitment, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive and/or reimburse any additional portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser waived $134,551 of its fee and reimbursed $178,277 of other operating expenses.

Administrative Fee

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement (the “Agreement”), provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of certain Federated funds as specified below:

Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. During the period from July 15, 2006 through December 8, 2006, the administrator contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fee which it would otherwise be entitled to receive from the Fund under the Agreement. The level of fees payable by the Fund to FAS for the period will not exceed the level of fees which the Fund would have paid during the period to its previous service provider under its previous administrative services contract. In addition, FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the net fee paid to FAS was 1.083% of average daily net assets of the Fund. FAS waived $105,281 of its fee.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act which became effective on December 11, 2006. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (FSC), the principal distributor, from the daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class C Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of up to the following percentages of average daily net assets annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	0.75%

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund incurred distribution expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	1.00%

When FSC receives fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase shares. For the year ended Year July 31, 2007, FSC retained $4,411 of fees paid by the Fund.

Sales Charges

For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $1,605 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. FSC also retained $464 of contingent deferred sales charges relating to redemptions of Class C Shares. See “What Do Shares Cost?” in the Prospectus.

Shareholder Services Fee

Effective December 11, 2006, the Fund may pay fees (Service Fees) up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class C Shares to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSSC did not receive any fees paid by the Fund.

Expense Limitation

The Adviser and its affiliates (which may include FSC, FAS and FSSC) have voluntarily agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total operating expenses (including the distribution (12b-1) fee) paid by the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 1.50%, 1.75% and 2.50%, respectively, for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2008. Although these actions are voluntary, the Adviser and its affiliates have agreed not to terminate these waivers and/or reimbursements until after September 30, 2008.

General

Certain of the Officers and Trustees of the Trust are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.

Transactions with Affiliated Companies

Affiliated holdings are mutual funds which are managed by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund for certain investment adviser fees as a result of transactions in other affiliated mutual funds. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser reimbursed $19 in connection with the affiliated mutual fund listed below. Transactions with the affiliated company during the year ended July 31, 2007 are as follows:

Affiliate	Balance of Shares Held 7/31/2006	Purchases/ Additions	Sales/ Reductions	Balance of Shares Held 7/31/2007	Value	Dividend Income

6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases	$	40,384,204
Sales	$	27,009,103

7. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates in a $150,000,000 unsecured, uncommitted revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement with PNC Bank. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 0.65% over the federal funds rate. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

8. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from other participating affiliated funds. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the program was not utilized.

9. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, “Federated”), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated (“Funds”) were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. 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. These lawsuits began to be filed shortly after Federated’s first public announcement that it had received requests for information on shareholder trading activities in the Funds from the SEC, the Office of the New York State Attorney General (“NYAG”), and other authorities. In that regard, on November 28, 2005, Federated announced that it had reached final settlements with the SEC and the NYAG with respect to those matters. As Federated previously reported in 2004, it has already paid approximately $8.0 million to certain funds as determined by an independent consultant. As part of these settlements, Federated agreed to pay for the benefit of fund shareholders additional disgorgement and a civil money penalty in the aggregate amount of an additional $72 million. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and intend to defend this litigation. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these lawsuits, all of which seek unquantified damages, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do 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 the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Recent SEC guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in fund NAV calculations as late as a fund’s last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the Fund will adopt FIN 48 no later than January 31, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

In addition, in September 2006, FASB released Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED MDT SERIES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MDT SMALL CAP VALUE FUND

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated MDT Small Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the portfolios constituting Federated MDT Series), including the portfolio of investments, as of July 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated MDT Small Cap Value Fund, a portfolio of Federated MDT Series, at July 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Fund’s Board reviewed the Fund’s investment advisory contract at meetings held in May 2007. The Board’s decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

In this connection, the Federated funds had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent written evaluation that covered topics discussed below. The Board considered that evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract.

During its review of the contract, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser. This included the fees received for services provided to the Fund by other entities in the Federated organization and research services received by the Adviser from brokers that execute Federated fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser’s fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the performance of the Fund; the Adviser’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as the Fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant bearing on the Adviser’s services and fees. The Board further considered management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser for what might be viewed as like services, and costs to the Adviser and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit and profit margins of the Adviser and its affiliates from supplying such services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund’s advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by the advice of independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, the Board has requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer’s evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional reports in connection with the particular meeting at which the Board’s formal review of the advisory contract occurred. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board’s consideration of the advisory contract included review of the Senior Officer’s evaluation, accompanying data and additional reports covering such matters as: the Adviser’s investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund’s short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund’s investment objectives; the Fund’s expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund’s portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund’s relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated’s responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board’s evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.

With respect to the Fund’s performance and expenses in particular, the Board has found the use of comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be particularly useful, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because, simply put, they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund’s investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes. The Fund’s ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Fund’s investment program, which in turn assisted the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser’s investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract. In this regard, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated’s fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences included, but are not limited to targeting different investors, being subject to different laws and regulations, different legal structure, distribution costs, average account size and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be significant in determining the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory contracts.

The Senior Officer reviewed reports compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups are highly important in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.

The Fund’s performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for the one year period ending December 31, 2006. The Board discussed the Fund’s performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and the performance of the Fund.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including reports on the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. These reports covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated’s subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds’ administrator). The reports also discussed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate.

Federated furnished reports, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund by fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund by fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, although they may apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs (and the unavoidable arbitrary aspects of that exercise) and the lack of consensus on how to allocate those costs may render such allocation reports unreliable. The allocation reports were considered in the analysis by the Board but were determined to be of limited use.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed a report compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer noted the limited availability of such information, but nonetheless concluded that Federated’s profit margins did not appear to be excessive and the Board agreed.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant additional investments in areas such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, compliance, and risk management functions; distribution efforts; and systems technology; that support all of the Federated funds, and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund complex as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which (as discussed in independently prepared materials included in the Senior Officer’s evaluation) is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with “breakpoints” that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size. The Senior Officer did not recommend institution of breakpoints in pricing Federated’s fund advisory services at this time.

It was noted that for the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, the Fund’s investment advisory fee was waived in its entirety. The Board reviewed the contractual fee rate and other expenses of the Fund with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation noted his belief that the information and observations contained in his evaluation supported his finding that the proposed management fees are reasonable, and that Federated appeared to provide appropriate administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund’s advisory contract. For 2006, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates were satisfactory.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board’s approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund.

The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board’s decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated’s performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2007 to July 31, 2007.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

	Beginning Account Value 2/1/2007	Ending Account Value 7/31/2007	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual:
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,018.40	$8.21
Class C Shares	$1,000	$1,014.10	$11.94
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses):
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,016.66	$8.20
Class C Shares	$1,000	$1,012.94	$11.93

1 Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratios, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The annualized net expense ratios are as follows:

Class A Shares	1.64%
Class C Shares	2.39%

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The fund’s total return for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007 was 12.56% for Class A Shares and 11.68% for Class C Shares.¹ The total return of the Russell 3000^® Index (Russell 3000^®) was 16.08% for the same period.² The fund’s total return for the fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses which were not reflected in the total return of the Russell 3000^®. The total return of the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index was 18.31% for the same period.³

MARKET OVERVIEW

Over the twelve month reporting period ended July 31, 2007, domestic equity markets enjoyed a positive, if somewhat rocky, performance highlighted by a sudden decline in late February and another decline as the reporting period ended in July. The Russell 3000^®, which represents the performance of the 3000 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization, finished the period up a solid 16.08%. Mid-cap stocks lead the way as demonstrated by the 18.93% return on the Russell Midcap^® Index,⁴ which exceeded the 15.48% and 12.12% results for the

Russell Top 200^® Index⁵ and the Russell 2000^® Index,⁶ respectively. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks by a wide margin during the year with the Russell 3000^® Growth Index⁷ returning 19.24% as compared to 12.97% for the Russell 3000^® Value Index.⁸

The best performing sectors during the reporting period in the Russell 3000^® were Materials (up 35.67%), Telecommunication Services (up 30.35%) and Information Technology (up 29.43%). Underperforming sectors included Financials (up just 2.11%, negatively influenced by a disruption in credit markets late in the reporting period), Health Care (up 8.23%) and Consumer Staples (up 11.12%).

FUND PERFORMANCE

The most significant contributor to the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 3000^® was its overweight in the Energy sector. Stock selection in the Information Technology sector provided a modest contribution to relative performance. The fund’s performance was negatively impacted by its overweight relative to the Russell 3000^® in the Financials sector and by its stock selection in that sector.

Individual stocks contributing to the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 3000^® included: Apple Computer Inc., Schlumberger Limited Ltd., Chevron Corp., Morgan Stanley, and Marathon Oil Corp.

The Trust consists of eight portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated MDT Tax Aware/All Cap Core Fund (the “Fund”), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses. The Fund offers three classes of shares: Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The financial highlights of the Institutional Shares are presented separately. The primary investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation while seeking to minimize the impact of taxes.

MDT Tax Aware/All Cap Core Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into the Fund as of the close of business on December 8, 2006. Prior to the reorganization, the Fund had no investment operations. The Fund is the successor to the Predecessor Fund, which commenced operations on September 15, 2005.

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

Market values of the Fund’s portfolio securities are determined as follows:

• for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available;
• in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;
• for investments in other open-end registered investment companies, based on net asset value (NAV);
• futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) may determine in good faith that another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value;
• prices for total return swaps are based upon a valuation model determined by management incorporating underlying reference indexes, interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors; prices for credit default swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating default probabilities, recovery rates and other market data or factors; prices for interest rate swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors;
• for mortgage-backed securities, based on the aggregate investment value of the projected cash flows to be generated by the security, as furnished by an independent pricing service;
• for other fixed-income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed-income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost; and
• for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Prices for fixed-income securities furnished by a pricing service may be based on a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Such prices (other than prices of mortgage-backed securities) are generally intended to be indicative of the bid prices currently offered to institutional investors for the securities, except that prices for corporate fixed-income and asset-backed securities traded in the United States are generally intended to be indicative of the mean between such bid prices and asked prices. The Trustees have approved the use of such pricing services. A number of pricing services are available, and the Fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or other financial institutions that trade the securities.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its NAV, the Fund values foreign securities using the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation is done by others under the direction of Fund management. An event is considered material if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value.

Repurchase Agreements

It is the policy of the Fund to require the other party to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Fund holds a “securities entitlement” and exercises “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Fund has established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the other party to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

With respect to agreements to repurchase U.S. government securities and cash items, the Fund treats the repurchase agreement as an investment in the underlying securities and not as an obligation of the other party to the repurchase agreement. Other repurchase agreements are treated as obligations of the other party secured by the underlying securities. Nevertheless, the insolvency of the other party or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Fund to receive less than the full repurchase price. Under the terms of the repurchase agreement, any amounts received by the Fund in excess of the repurchase price and related transaction costs must be remitted to the other party.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in which eligible securities are transferred into joint trading accounts maintained by the custodian or sub-custodian for investment companies and other clients advised by the Fund’s adviser and its affiliates. The Fund will participate on a pro rata basis with the other investment companies and clients in its share of the securities transferred under such repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of such securities.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class may bear certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. 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

All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes.

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 income tax is necessary.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

1 Reflects operations for the period from September 15, 2005 (date of initial public investment) to July 31, 2006.

Redemption Fees

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund imposed a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders of the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares who redeem shares held for 30 days or less. Shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions of the Fund, or purchased pursuant to the Systematic Investment Program or withdrawn pursuant to the Systematic Withdrawal Program, were not subject to the redemption fee. All redemption fees were recorded by the Fund as additions to paid-in-capital.

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 to differing treatments for net operating loss.

For the year ended July 31, 2007, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Paid-In Capital	Undistributed Net Investment Income
$(19,783)	$19,783

Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

As of July 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Net unrealized appreciation	$	822,760
Capital loss carryforwards	$	(71,787	)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for the deferral of losses on wash sales.

At July 31, 2007, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $9,836,512. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $822,760. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $1,100,256 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $277,496.

At July 31, 2007, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $71,787 which will reduce the Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gains 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 income tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire as follows:

Expiration Year	Expiration Amount
2014	$2,945
2015	$68,842

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated MDTA LLC is the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The advisory agreement between the Fund and Adviser provides for an annual fee equal to 0.90% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Prior to December 8, 2006, the Adviser received an annual investment adviser fee equal to 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Under the investment advisory contract, which is subject to annual review by the Trustees, the Adviser will waive all or a portion of the advisory fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes and brokerage commissions) in order to contractually limit the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses to no more than the following annual percentages for each Class of the Fund based on average daily net assets:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Institutional Shares	1.80%
Class A Shares	2.05%
Class C Shares	2.80%

The Adviser has agreed to keep these contractual limitations in place through December 8, 2008.

In addition, after fulfilling its contractual commitment, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive and/or reimburse any additional portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser waived $73,652 of its fee and reimbursed $239,213 of other operating expenses.

Administrative Fee

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement (the “Agreement”), provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of certain Federated funds as specified below:

Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. During the period from July 15, 2006 through December 8, 2006, the administrator contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fee which it would otherwise be entitled to receive from the Fund under the Agreement. The level of fees payable by the Fund to FAS for the period will not exceed the level of fees which the Fund would have paid during the period to its previous service provider under the previous administrative services contract. In addition, FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the net fee paid to FAS was 1.573% of average daily net assets of the Fund. FAS waived $105,133 of its fee.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act which became effective December 11, 2006. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (FSC), the principal distributor, from the daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class C Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of up to the following percentages of average daily net assets annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	0.75%

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund incurred distribution expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	1.00%

When FSC receives fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase shares. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $15,419 of fees paid by the Fund.

Sales Charges

For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $3,893 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. FSC also retained $14 of contingent deferred sales charges relating to redemptions of Class C Shares. See “What Do Shares Cost?” in the Prospectus.

Shareholder Services Fee

Effective December 11, 2006, the Fund may pay fees (Service Fees) up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class C Shares to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSSC did not receive any fees paid by the Fund.

Expense Limitation

The Adviser and its affiliates (which may include FSC, FAS and FSSC) have voluntarily agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total operating expenses (including the distribution (12b-1) fee) paid by the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 1.40%, 1.65% and 2.40%, respectively, for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2008. Although these actions are voluntary, the Adviser and its affiliates have agreed not to terminate these waivers and/or reimbursements until after September 30, 2008.

General

Certain of the Officers and Trustees of the Trust are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.

Transactions with Affiliated Companies

Affiliated holdings are mutual funds which are managed by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund for certain investment adviser fees as a result of transactions in other affiliated mutual funds. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser reimbursed $17 in connection with the affiliated mutual fund listed below. Transactions with the affiliated company during the year ended July 31, 2007 are as follows:

Affiliate	Balance of Shares Held 7/31/2006	Purchases/ Additions	Sales/ Reductions	Balance of Shares Held 7/31/2007	Value	Dividend Income
Prime Value Obligations Fund, Institutional Shares	--	925,941	736,583	189,358	$189,358	$1,255

6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations, for the year ended July 31, 2007, were as follows:

Purchases	$	17,046,857
Sales	$	12,035,473

7. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates in a $150,000,000 unsecured, uncommitted revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement with PNC Bank. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 0.65% over the federal funds rate. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

8. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from other participating affiliated funds. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the program was not utilized.

9. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, “Federated”), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated (“Funds”) were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. 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. These lawsuits began to be filed shortly after Federated’s first public announcement that it had received requests for information on shareholder trading activities in the Funds from the SEC, the Office of the New York State Attorney General (“NYAG”), and other authorities. In that regard, on November 28, 2005, Federated announced that it had reached final settlements with the SEC and the NYAG with respect to those matters. As Federated previously reported in 2004, it has already paid approximately $8.0 million to certain funds as determined by an independent consultant. As part of these settlements, Federated agreed to pay for the benefit of fund shareholders additional disgorgement and a civil money penalty in the aggregate amount of an additional $72 million. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and intend to defend this litigation. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these lawsuits, all of which seek unquantified damages, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do 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 the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Recent SEC guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in fund NAV calculations as late as a fund’s last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the Fund will adopt FIN 48 no later than January 31, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

In addition, in September 2006, FASB released Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED MDT SERIES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MDT TAX AWARE/ALL CAP CORE FUND

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated MDT Tax Aware/All Cap Core Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the portfolios constituting Federated MDT Series), including the portfolio of investments, as of July 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated MDT Tax Aware/All Cap Core Fund, a portfolio of Federated MDT Series, at July 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract

FEDERATED MDT TAX AWARE/ALL CAP CORE FUND (THE “FUND”)

The Fund’s Board reviewed the Fund’s investment advisory contract at meetings held in May 2007. The Board’s decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

In this connection, the Federated funds had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent written evaluation that covered topics discussed below. The Board considered that evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract.

During its review of the contract, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser. This included the fees received for services provided to the Fund by other entities in the Federated organization and research services received by the Adviser from brokers that execute Federated fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser’s fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the performance of the Fund; the Adviser’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as the Fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant bearing on the Adviser’s services and fees. The Board further considered management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser for what might be viewed as like services, and costs to the Adviser and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit and profit margins of the Adviser and its affiliates from supplying such services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund’s advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by the advice of independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, the Board has requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer’s evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional reports in connection with the particular meeting at which the Board’s formal review of the advisory contract occurred. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board’s consideration of the advisory contract included review of the Senior Officer’s evaluation, accompanying data and additional reports covering such matters as: the Adviser’s investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund’s short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund’s investment objectives; the Fund’s expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund’s portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund’s relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated’s responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board’s evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.

With respect to the Fund’s performance and expenses in particular, the Board has found the use of comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be particularly useful, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because, simply put, they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund’s investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes. The Fund’s ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Fund’s investment program, which in turn assisted the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser’s investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract. In this regard, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated’s fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences included, but are not limited to targeting different investors, being subject to different laws and regulations, different legal structure, distribution costs, average account size and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be significant in determining the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory contracts.

The Senior Officer reviewed reports compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups are highly important in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.

The Fund’s performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for the one year period ending December 31, 2006. The Board discussed the Fund’s performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and the performance of the Fund.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including reports on the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. These reports covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated’s subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds’ administrator). The reports also discussed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate.

Federated furnished reports, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund by fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund by fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, although they may apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs (and the unavoidable arbitrary aspects of that exercise) and the lack of consensus on how to allocate those costs may render such allocation reports unreliable. The allocation reports were considered in the analysis by the Board but were determined to be of limited use.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed a report compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer noted the limited availability of such information, but nonetheless concluded that Federated’s profit margins did not appear to be excessive and the Board agreed.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant additional investments in areas such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, compliance, and risk management functions; distribution efforts; and systems technology; that support all of the Federated funds, and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund complex as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which (as discussed in independently prepared materials included in the Senior Officer’s evaluation) is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with “breakpoints” that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size. The Senior Officer did not recommend institution of breakpoints in pricing Federated’s fund advisory services at this time.

It was noted that for the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, the Fund’s investment advisory fee was waived in its entirety. The Board reviewed the contractual fee rate and other expenses of the Fund with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation noted his belief that the information and observations contained in his evaluation supported his finding that the proposed management fees are reasonable, and that Federated appeared to provide appropriate administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund’s advisory contract. For 2006, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates were satisfactory.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board’s approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund.

The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board’s decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated’s performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2007 to July 31, 2007.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

	Beginning Account Value 2/1/2007	Ending Account Value 7/31/2007	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual	$1,000	$1,020.10	$6.96
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses)	$1,000	$1,017.90	$6.95

1 Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio of 1.39%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The fund’s total return for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007 was 12.84% for Institutional Shares.¹ The total return of the Russell 3000^® Index² (Russell 3000^®) was 16.08% for the same period. The fund’s total return for the fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses which were not reflected in the total return of the Russell 3000^®. The total return of the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index³ was 18.31% for the same period.

1 The fund is the successor to the MDT Tax Aware/All Cap Core Fund pursuant to a reorganization that took place on December 8, 2006. Prior to that date, the fund had no investment operations. Accordingly, the performance information provided is historical information of the MDT Tax Aware/All Cap Core Fund.

2 The Russell 3000^® Index offers investors access to the broad U.S. equity universe representing approximately 98% of the U.S. market.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Over the twelve month reporting period ended July 31, 2007, domestic equity markets enjoyed a positive, if somewhat rocky, performance highlighted by a sudden decline in late February and another decline as the reporting period ended in July. The Russell 3000^®, which represents the performance of the 3000 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization, finished the period up a solid 16.08%. Mid-cap stocks lead the way as demonstrated by the 18.93% return on the Russell Midcap^® Index,⁴ which exceeded the 15.48% and 12.12% results for the Russell Top 200^® Index⁵ and the Russell 2000^® Index,⁶ respectively. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks by a wide margin during the year with the Russell 3000^® Growth Index⁷ returning 19.24% as compared to 12.97% for the Russell 3000^® Value Index.⁸

The best performing sectors during the reporting period in the Russell 3000^® were Materials (up 35.67%), Telecommunication Services (up 30.35%) and Information Technology (up 29.43%). Underperforming sectors included Financials (up just 2.11%, negatively influenced by a disruption in credit markets late in the reporting period), Health Care (up 8.23%) and Consumer Staples (up 11.12%).

FUND PERFORMANCE

The most significant contributor to the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 3000^® was its overweight in the Energy sector. Stock selection in the Information Technology sector provided a modest contribution to relative performance. The fund’s performance was negatively impacted by its overweight relative to the Russell 3000^® in the Financials sector and by its stock selection in that sector.

Individual stocks contributing to the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 3000^® included: Apple Computer Inc., Schlumberger Limited Ltd., Chevron Corp., Morgan Stanley, and Marathon Oil Corp.

Individual stocks detracting from the fund’s performance relative to the Russell 3000^® included: Exxon Mobil Corp., Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., Cisco Systems Inc., Hess Corp. and AT&T Inc.

The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses. The Fund offers three classes of shares: Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The financial highlights of the Class A Shares and Class C Shares are presented separately. The primary investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation while seeking to minimize the impact of taxes.

MDT Tax Aware/All Cap Core Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into the Fund as of the close of business on December 8, 2006. Prior to the reorganization, the Fund had no investment operations. The Fund is the successor to the Predecessor Fund, which commenced operations on September 15, 2005.

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

Market values of the Fund’s portfolio securities are determined as follows:

• for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available;
• in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;
• for investments in other open-end registered investment companies, based on net asset value (NAV);
• futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) may determine in good faith that another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value;
• prices for total return swaps are based upon a valuation model determined by management incorporating underlying reference indexes, interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors; prices for credit default swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating default probabilities, recovery rates and other market data or factors; prices for interest rate swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors;
• for mortgage-backed securities, based on the aggregate investment value of the projected cash flows to be generated by the security, as furnished by an independent pricing service;
• for other fixed-income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed-income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost; and
• for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Prices for fixed-income securities furnished by a pricing service may be based on a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Such prices (other than prices of mortgage-backed securities) are generally intended to be indicative of the bid prices currently offered to institutional investors for the securities, except that prices for corporate fixed-income and asset-backed securities traded in the United States are generally intended to be indicative of the mean between such bid prices and asked prices. The Trustees have approved the use of such pricing services. A number of pricing services are available, and the Fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or other financial institutions that trade the securities.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its NAV, the Fund values foreign securities using the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation is done by others under the direction of Fund management. An event is considered material if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value.

Repurchase Agreements

It is the policy of the Fund to require the other party to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Fund holds a “securities entitlement” and exercises “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Fund has established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the other party to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

With respect to agreements to repurchase U.S. government securities and cash items, the Fund treats the repurchase agreement as an investment in the underlying securities and not as an obligation of the other party to the repurchase agreement. Other repurchase agreements are treated as obligations of the other party secured by the underlying securities. Nevertheless, the insolvency of the other party or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Fund to receive less than the full repurchase price. Under the terms of the repurchase agreement, any amounts received by the Fund in excess of the repurchase price and related transaction costs must be remitted to the other party.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in which eligible securities are transferred into joint trading accounts maintained by the custodian or sub-custodian for investment companies and other clients advised by the Fund’s adviser and its affiliates. The Fund will participate on a pro rata basis with the other investment companies and clients in its share of the securities transferred under such repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of such securities.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class may bear certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. 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

All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes.

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 income tax is necessary.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

1 Reflects operations for the period from September 15, 2005 (date of initial public investment) to July 31, 2006.

Redemption Fees

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund imposed a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders of the Fund’s Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares who redeem shares held for 30 days or less. Shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions of the Fund, or purchased pursuant to the Systematic Investment Program or withdrawn pursuant to the Systematic Withdrawal Program, were not subject to the redemption fee. All redemption fees were recorded by the Fund as additions to paid-in-capital.

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 to differing treatments for net operating loss.

For the year ended July 31, 2007, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Paid-In Capital	Undistributed Net Investment Income
$(19,783)	$19,783

Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

As of July 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Net unrealized appreciation	$	822,760
Capital loss carryforwards	$	(71,787	)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for the deferral of losses on wash sales.

At July 31, 2007, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $9,836,512. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $822,760. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $1,100,256 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $277,496.

At July 31, 2007, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $71,787 which will reduce the Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gains 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 income tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire as follows:

Expiration Year	Expiration Amount
2014	$2,945
2015	$68,842

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated MDTA LLC is the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The advisory agreement between the Fund and Adviser provides for an annual fee equal to 0.90% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Prior to December 8, 2006, the Adviser received an annual investment adviser fee equal to 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Under the investment advisory contract, which is subject to annual review by the Trustees, the Adviser will waive all or a portion of the advisory fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes and brokerage commissions) in order to contractually limit the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses to no more than the following annual percentages for each Class of the Fund based on average daily net assets:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Institutional Shares	1.80%
Class A Shares	2.05%
Class C Shares	2.80%

The Adviser has agreed to keep these contractual limitations in place through December 8, 2008.

In addition, after fulfilling its contractual commitment, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive and/or reimburse any additional portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser waived $73,652 of its fee and reimbursed $239,213 of other operating expenses.

Administrative Fee

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement (the “Agreement”), provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of certain Federated funds as specified below:

Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. During the period from July 15, 2006 through December 8, 2006, the administrator contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fee which it would otherwise be entitled to receive from the Fund under the Agreement. The level of fees payable by the Fund to FAS for the period will not exceed the level of fees which the Fund would have paid during the period to its previous service provider under the previous administrative services contract. In addition, FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the net fee paid to FAS was 1.573% of average daily net assets of the Fund. FAS waived $105,133 of its fee.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act which became effective on December 11, 2006. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (FSC), the principal distributor, from the daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class C Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of up to the following percentages of average daily net assets annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	0.75%

Prior to December 11, 2006, the Fund incurred distribution expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.25%
Class C Shares	1.00%

When FSC receives fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase shares. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $15,419 of fees paid by the Fund.

Sales Charges

For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSC retained $3,893 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. FSC also retained $14 of contingent deferred sales charges relating to redemptions of Class C Shares. See “What Do Shares Cost?” in the Prospectus.

Shareholder Services Fee

Effective December 11, 2006, the Fund may pay fees (Service Fees) up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares and Class C Shares to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. For the year ended July 31, 2007, FSSC did not receive any fees paid by the Fund.

Expense Limitation

The Adviser and its affiliates (which may include FSC, FAS and FSSC) have voluntarily agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total operating expenses (including the distribution (12b-1) fee) paid by the Fund's Institutional Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 1.40%, 1.65% and 2.40%, respectively, for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2008. Although these actions are voluntary, the Adviser and its affiliates have agreed not to terminate these waivers and/or reimbursements until after September 30, 2008.

General

Certain of the Officers and Trustees of the Trust are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.

Transactions with Affiliated Companies

Affiliated holdings are mutual funds which are managed by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund for certain investment adviser fees as a result of transactions in other affiliated mutual funds. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the Adviser reimbursed $17 in connection with the affiliated mutual fund listed below. Transactions with the affiliated company during the year ended July 31, 2007 are as follows:

Affiliate	Balance of Shares Held 7/31/2006	Purchases/ Additions	Sales/ Reductions	Balance of Shares Held 7/31/2007	Value	Dividend Income
Prime Value Obligations Fund, Institutional Shares	--	925,941	736,583	189,358	$189,358	$1,255

6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations, for the year ended July 31, 2007, were as follows:

Purchases	$	17,046,857
Sales	$	12,035,473

7. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates in a $150,000,000 unsecured, uncommitted revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement with PNC Bank. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 0.65% over the federal funds rate. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

8. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from other participating affiliated funds. As of July 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended July 31, 2007, the program was not utilized.

9. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, “Federated”), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated (“Funds”) were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. 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. These lawsuits began to be filed shortly after Federated’s first public SEC, the Office of the New York State Attorney General (“NYAG”), and other authorities. In that regard, on November 28, 2005, Federated announced that it had reached final settlements with the SEC and the NYAG with respect to those matters. As Federated previously reported in 2004, it has already paid approximately $8.0 million to certain funds as determined by an independent consultant. As part of these settlements, Federated agreed to pay for the benefit of fund shareholders additional disgorgement and a civil money penalty in the aggregate amount of an additional $72 million. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and intend to defend this litigation. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these lawsuits, all of which seek unquantified damages, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do 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 the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Recent SEC guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in fund NAV calculations as late as a fund’s last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the Fund will adopt FIN 48 no later than January 31, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

In addition, in September 2006, FASB released Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED MDT SERIES AND
SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MDT TAX AWARE/ALL CAP CORE FUND

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated MDT Tax Aware/All Cap Core Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the portfolios constituting Federated MDT Series), including the portfolio of investments, as of July 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated MDT Tax Aware/All Cap Core Fund, a portfolio of Federated MDT Series, at July 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract

FEDERATED MDT TAX AWARE/ALL CAP CORE FUND (THE “FUND”)

The Fund’s Board reviewed the Fund’s investment advisory contract at meetings held in May 2007. The Board’s decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

In this connection, the Federated funds had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent written evaluation that covered topics discussed below. The Board considered that evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract.

During its review of the contract, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser. This included the fees received for services provided to the Fund by other entities in the Federated organization and research services received by the Adviser from brokers that execute Federated fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser’s fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the performance of the Fund; the Adviser’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as the Fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant bearing on the Adviser’s services and fees. The Board further considered management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser for what might be viewed as like services, and costs to the Adviser and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit and profit margins of the Adviser and its affiliates from supplying such services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund’s advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by the advice of independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, the Board has requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer’s evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional reports in connection with the particular meeting at which the Board’s formal review of the advisory contract occurred. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board’s consideration of the advisory contract included review of the Senior Officer’s evaluation, accompanying data and additional reports covering such matters as: the Adviser’s investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund’s short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund’s investment objectives; the Fund’s expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund’s portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund’s relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated’s responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board’s evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.

With respect to the Fund’s performance and expenses in particular, the Board has found the use of comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be particularly useful, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because, simply put, they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund’s investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes. The Fund’s ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Fund’s investment program, which in turn assisted the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser’s investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract. In this regard, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated’s fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences included, but are not limited to targeting different investors, being subject to different laws and regulations, different legal structure, distribution costs, average account size and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be significant in determining the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory contracts.

The Senior Officer reviewed reports compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups are highly important in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.

The Fund’s performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for the one year period ending December 31, 2006. The Board discussed the Fund’s performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and the performance of the Fund.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including reports on the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. These reports covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated’s subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds’ administrator). The reports also discussed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate.

Federated furnished reports, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund by fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund by fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, although they may apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs (and the unavoidable arbitrary aspects of that exercise) and the lack of consensus on how to allocate those costs may render such allocation reports unreliable. The allocation reports were considered in the analysis by the Board but were determined to be of limited use.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed a report compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer noted the limited availability of such information, but nonetheless concluded that Federated’s profit margins did not appear to be excessive and the Board agreed.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant additional investments in areas such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, compliance, and risk management functions; distribution efforts; and systems technology; that support all of the Federated funds, and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund complex as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which (as discussed in independently prepared materials included in the Senior Officer’s evaluation) is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with “breakpoints” that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size. The Senior Officer did not recommend institution of breakpoints in pricing Federated’s fund advisory services at this time.

It was noted that for the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, the Fund’s investment advisory fee was waived in its entirety. The Board reviewed the contractual fee rate and other expenses of the Fund with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive.

The Senior Officer’s evaluation noted his belief that the information and observations contained in his evaluation supported his finding that the proposed management fees are reasonable, and that Federated appeared to provide appropriate administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund’s advisory contract. For 2006, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates were satisfactory.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board’s approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund.

The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board’s decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated’s performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

(e)(1)      Audit Committee Policies regarding Pre-approval of Services.

            The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve audit and non-audit
services performed by the independent auditor in order to assure that the
provision of such services do not impair the auditor's independence.  Unless a
type of service to be provided by the independent auditor has received general
pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.  Any
proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-
approval by the Audit Committee.

            Certain services have the general pre-approval of the Audit
Committee.  The term of the general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of
pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different
period.  The Audit Committee will annually review the services that may be
provided by the independent auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from
the Audit Committee and may grant general pre-approval for such services.  The
Audit Committee will revise the list of general pre-approved services from time
to time, based on subsequent determinations.  The Audit Committee will not
delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the
independent auditor to management.

            The Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to its
Chairman.  The Chairman will report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit
Committee at its next scheduled meeting.  The Committee will designate another
member with such pre-approval authority when the Chairman is unavailable.

AUDIT SERVICES

      The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees will be subject to the
specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee.  The Audit Committee must approve
any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope,
registered investment company (RIC) structure or other matters.

      In addition to the annual Audit services engagement specifically approved
by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval for
other Audit Services, which are those services that only the independent auditor
reasonably can provide.  The Audit Committee has pre-approved certain Audit
services, all other Audit services must be specifically pre-approved by the
Audit Committee.

AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES

      Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are
reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company's
financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent
auditor.  The Audit Committee believes that the provision of Audit-related
services does not impair the independence of the auditor, and has pre-approved
certain Audit-related services, all other Audit-related services must be
specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

TAX SERVICES

      The Audit Committee believes that the independent auditor can provide Tax
services to the Company such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice
without impairing the auditor's independence.  However, the Audit Committee will
not permit the retention of the independent auditor in connection with a
transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the purpose of
which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported
in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations.  The Audit Committee has
pre-approved certain Tax services, all Tax services involving large and complex
transactions must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

ALL OTHER SERVICES

      With respect to the provision of services other than audit, review or
attest services the pre-approval requirement is waived if:



      (1)         The aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes
                  no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues paid
                  by the registrant, the registrant's adviser (not including any
                  sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and
                  is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment
                  adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under
                  common control with the investment adviser that provides
                  ongoing services to the registrant to its accountant during
                  the fiscal year in which the services are provided;
      (2)         Such services were not recognized by the registrant, the
                  registrant's adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role
                  is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or
                  overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity
                  controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the
                  investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the
                  registrant  at the time of the engagement to be non-audit
                  services; and
      (3)         Such services are promptly brought to the attention of the
                  Audit Committee of the issuer and approved prior to the
                  completion of the audit by the Audit Committee or by one or
                  more members of the Audit Committee who are members of the
                  board of directors to whom authority to grant such approvals
                  has been delegated by the Audit Committee.


      The Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to those permissible
non-audit services classified as All Other services that it believes are routine
and recurring services, and would not impair the independence of the auditor.

      The SEC's rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the
precise definitions of prohibited non-audit services and the applicability of
exceptions to certain of the prohibitions.

PRE-APPROVAL FEE LEVELS

      Pre-approval fee levels for all services to be provided by the independent
auditor will be established annually by the Audit Committee.  Any proposed
services exceeding these levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit
Committee.

PROCEDURES

      Requests or applications to provide services that require specific
approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both
the independent auditor and the Principal Accounting Officer and/or Internal
Auditor, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the
request or application is consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor
independence.
