Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

FUND PERFORMANCE

For the 12-month reporting period ended June 30, 2003, Federated Short-Term Municipal Trust produced a total return of 4.32% for the Institutional Shares (IS) and 4.06% for the Institutional Service Shares (ISS), as tax exempt dividend income was enhanced by price appreciation due to falling interest rates.¹ These returns handily exceeded the Lipper Short-Term Municipal Debt Funds average total return of 3.26% over the period.² Over the one-year reporting period, the total returns for the IS shares and ISS shares were 7^th and 12^th, respectively, out of 48 funds in the Lipper Short-Term Municipal Debt Funds category. For the five-year and ten-year periods, the fund's IS shares ranked 7 out of 35 funds and 4 out of 12 funds, respectively. For the five-year period, the fund's ISS shares ranked 13 out of 35 funds.³ Compared to taxable investments, the fund's one-year returns were equivalent to taxable returns of 5.97% (IS) and 5.57% for (ISS) for investors in the 35% federal income tax bracket.

Nevertheless, the fund was managed predominately for tax exempt income,⁴ with a secondary goal of minimizing the fluctuation of principal value. Over the period, the fund produced income dividends exempt from federal regular income taxes of approximately $0.3115 per share (IS) and $0.2854 per share (ISS). The net asset value of the fund rose 13 cents to $10.48 per share.

The fund's 30-day net distribution yield on June 30, 2003 was 2.82% (IS) and 2.57% (ISS). The fund's 30-day SEC yield as of June 30, 2003 was 1.77% (IS) and 1.52% (ISS).⁵ These yields beat the 1.30% yield available on an AA-rated two-year maturity bond issued on June 30, 2003,⁶ illustrating the attractiveness of the fund's income stream.

1 Past performance 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. Current performance information is available at our website www.federatedinvestors.com or by calling 1-800-341-7400.

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

3 Lipper rankings are based on total return and do not take sales charges into account.

4 Income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and state and local taxes.

5 The 30-day net distribution yield reflects actual distributions made to shareholders. It is calculated by dividing the monthly annualized dividend plus short-term capital gains, if any, by the average 30-day offering price. The 30-day current net yield is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share for the 30 days ended on the date of calculation by the maximum offering price per share on that date. The figure is compounded and annualized.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Interest rates continued to reflect significant volatility over the reporting period. The municipal yield curve became steeper, in conjunction with the treasury yield curve, as the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) continued to reduce short-term interest rates. Concern about potential deflation and the inability of the U.S. economy to achieve a sustained recovery weighed heavily on the fixed income markets in May and June and lead to a general decline in interest rates across the yield curve. The one-, two- and five-year maturities, as represented by AAA- rated Municipal Market Data yields, declined by 65 basis points, 74 basis points and 92 basis points, respectively.

The ratio of municipal bond yields to Treasury bond yields stayed near historically cheap levels across the yield curve. The primary reasons included the absolute low level of interest rates, municipal bond issuance continuing at record levels and the potential for additional tax reform being discounted by the municipal bond market. Financial market volatility ran at approximately twice the normal historical trends. The reasons for this period of "hyper" price volatility included uncertainty about the economic outlook, the war with Iraq, and the uncertain impact on the global economy of the war on terror. Municipal credit quality continued to erode as personal income tax and sales tax revenues declined as a result of the U.S. economy's weakness, and the government's spending reductions proved difficult to implement.

Flows into municipal bond funds, including Federated Short-Term Municipal Trust, were consistently positive. The increased level of demand from both retail and institutional sources helped the municipal bond market perform well, relative to other fixed income asset classes. In an interest rate sensitive environment, bonds on the short end of the curve performed very well on a risk-adjusted basis relative to their longer-term counterparts; as the yield curve steepened, short-term bond yields fell.

FUND STRATEGY

During the 12-month reporting period, the fund attempted to maximize tax exempt income subject to interest rate and credit risk constraints so as to provide an above average after-tax total return relative to its peer group. The fund sought to accomplish this goal by taking advantage of relative value opportunities in sector and security selection, as well as portfolio structure.

Investment strategy integrated management's views on both the interest rate and credit cycles. Income was the primary driver of total return, as it has been in the past. Since the fund's inception in 1981, more than 98% of the total return of the fund was due to tax exempt income. Tax efficiency continued to be emphasized in fund management decisions.

With interest rates at or close to the lows for the cycle, strategy focused on yield curve and duration management and making selective purchases of lower investment grade (A, BBB) credits. The steepness of the yield curve along with wide credit spreads provided the opportunity for attractive risk-adjusted returns.

Sectors that reflected the fund's desire to add income value included higher-yielding, short-term bonds in the Healthcare, Electric and Gas Utilities, Paper, and Oil and Refining Industries. Revenue bonds with dedicated revenue streams were emphasized over general obligation debt, due to sales and income tax pressures.

At the end of the reporting period, the fund had over 78% of its assets in issues rated A or better. The average rating of the fund's portfolio was AA.⁷ For the first three months of the reporting period, the duration of the fund ranged from 1.65 to 2.40 years⁸ as the fund experienced rapid asset growth and investments concentrated in bonds with maturities between three and five years. In the final nine months of the reporting period, the fund began to move the duration inward as interest rates fell.

7 Credit ratings pertain only to the securities in the portfolio and do not protect fund shares against market risk.

8 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

June 30, 2003

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated Short-Term Municipal Trust (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and Institutional Service Shares. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide dividend income which is exempt from federal regular income tax. The Fund pursues this investment objective by investing in a portfolio of tax exempt securities with a dollar-weighted average maturity of less than three years.

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 Valuations

Municipal bonds are valued by an independent pricing service, taking into consideration yield, liquidity, risk, credit quality, coupon, maturity, type of issue and any other factors or market data the pricing service deems relevant. Short-term securities are valued according to the mean between bid and asked prices provided by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value.

Securities for which no quotations are readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees").

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. The Fund offers multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.

Premium and Discount Amortization

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") applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal 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.

Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer's expense either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the 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 good faith using methods approved by the Trustees.

Additional information on the restricted illiquid security held at June 30, 2003, is as follows:

Security	Acquisition Date	Acquisition Cost
Birmingham, AL, Fire Equipment Lease Obligation No. 2, 5.60%, 11/5/2004	11/09/1999	$502,335

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.

3. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

Effective July 1, 2001, the Fund adopted the provisions of the revised American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies (the "Guide"). For financial statement purposes, the revised Guide requires the Fund to amortize premium and discount on all fixed income securities and to classify gains and losses realized on principal payments received on mortgage backed securities (pay-down gains and losses) as part of interest income.

Upon initial adoption, the Fund adjusted its cost of fixed income securities by the cumulative amount of amortization that would have been recognized had amortization been in effect from the purchase date of each holding with a corresponding reclassification between unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and undistributed net investment income. Adoption of these accounting principles does not affect the Fund's net asset value or distributions, but changes the classification of certain amounts between interest income and realized and unrealized gain/loss on the Statement of Operations. The cumulative effect to the Fund resulting from the adoption of premium and discount amortization as part of interest income on the financial statements is as follows:

	As of 7/1/2001		For the Year Ended 6/30/2002
	Cost of Investments	Undistributed Net Investment Income	Net Investment Income	Net Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)	Net Realized Gain/(Loss)
Increase (Decrease)	$60	$60	$4	$60	$(64)

The Statements of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights for prior periods have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation.

4. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value) for each class of shares.

Transactions in shares were as follows:

Year Ended June 30	2003					2002
Institutional Shares:	Shares			Amount		Shares			Amount
Shares sold	25,749,275		$	268,423,722		10,227,717		$	105,457,839

NET CHANGE RESULTING FROM SHARE TRANSACTIONS	11,767,867		$	122,568,754		4,838,202		$	49,967,567

5. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to book and tax differences.

For the year ended June 30, 2003, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Paid-In Capital	Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)		Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses)
$(1,189,491)	$(145	)	$1,189,636

Net investment income, net realized gains (losses), and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

The tax character of distributions reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, were as follows:

For the Year Ended June 30	2003	2002
Tax-exempt income	$9,618,203	$8,108,394

As of June 30, 2003, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income		$ 417,032

Unrealized appreciation		$8,617,691

Capital loss carryforward		$ 4,747,122

At June 30, 2003, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $352,110,092. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $8,617,691. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $8,617,691.

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable primarily to the amortization/accretion tax elections on fixed income securities.

At June 30, 2003, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $4,747,122 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 tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire as follows:

Expiration Year		Expiration Amount
2004		$2,597,123

2005		$ 170,193

2008		$ 541,582

2009		$ 624,448

2010		$ 261,798

2011		$ 551,978

Under current tax regulations, capital losses realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. As of June 30, 2003, for federal income tax purposes, post-October losses of $3,427 were deferred to July 1, 2003.

6. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated Investment Management Company, the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser will reimburse, to the extent of its adviser fee, the amount, if any, by which the Fund's aggregate annual operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, expenses of registering and qualifying the Fund and its shares under federal and state laws and regulations, expenses of withholding taxes, distribution and shareholder services fees, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 0.45% of average daily net assets of the Fund.

Administrative Fee

Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on a scale that ranges from 0.150% to 0.075% of the average aggregate daily net assets of all funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., subject to a $125,000 minimum per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class. FServ may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FServ can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. ("FSC"), the principal distributor, from the net assets of the Fund to finance activities intended to result in the sale of the Fund's Institutional Service Shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Service Shares, annually, to compensate FSC. FSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSC can modify or terminate this voluntarily waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Shareholder Services Fee

Under the terms of a Shareholder Services Agreement with Federated Shareholder Services Company ("FSSC"), the Fund will pay FSSC up to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Fund for the period. The fee paid to FSSC is used to finance certain services for shareholders and to maintain shareholder accounts. FSSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

FServ, through its subsidiary FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. FSSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

FServ maintains the Fund's accounting records for which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of each Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. FServ may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FServ can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended June 30, 2003, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $316,500,000 and $259,002,138, respectively.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors

TO THE TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF
FEDERATED SHORT-TERM MUNICIPAL TRUST:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Federated Short-Term Municipal Trust (the "Fund") as of June 30, 2003, 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 the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended. 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 the year ended June 30, 1999 was audited by other auditors whose report, dated August 27, 1999, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated Short-Term Municipal Trust at June 30, 2003, 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 four years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
