Notes to Financial Statements

February 29, 2004 (unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated Municipal Opportunities Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The investment objective is to provide a high level of current income which is generally exempt from federal regular income tax. The Fund offers four classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class F Shares.

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

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 at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. 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 Directors (the "Directors").

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. 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") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal tax is necessary.

Other Taxes

As an open-end management investment company incorporated in the state of Maryland but domiciled in Pennsylvania, the Fund is subject to the Pennsylvania Franchise Tax. This franchise tax is assessed annually on the value of the Fund, as represented by average net assets for the tax year.

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 Directors. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Fund's restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Directors.

Additional information on each restricted illiquid security held at February 29, 2004, is as follows:

Security	Acquisition Date	Acquisition Cost
Franklin County, OH, Multifamily Housing Revenue Refunding Bonds	11/20/1998	$1,680,000
Kansas City, MO, IDA, Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds	7/29/1999	$2,445,000
Kansas Development Finance Authority, Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds	10/19/1998	$1,335,000

Swap Contracts

The Fund may enter into swap contracts. A swap is an exchange of cash payments between the Fund and another party, which is based on a specific financial index. The value of the swap is adjusted daily and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When a swap contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. The swap contracts entered into by the Fund are on a forward settling basis. For the six months ended February 29, 2004, the Fund had no net realized gain (loss) on swap contracts.

Risks may arise upon entering into these agreements from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contract and from unanticipated changes in the value of the financial index on which the swap agreement is based. The Fund uses swaps for hedging purposes to reduce its exposure to interest rate fluctuations.

At February 29, 2004, the Fund had the following open swap contract:

Expiration	Notional Principal Amount	Swap Contract Fixed Rate	Current Market Fixed Rate	Unrealized Depreciation
4/28/2014	$45,000,000	4.08% Fixed	3.42%	$(2,230,054	)

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.

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

At February 29, 2004, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $427,753,483. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $17,286,597. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $26,897,380 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $9,610,783.

At August 31, 2003, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $41,886,380, 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	$  3,648,711
2008	$  24,259,223
2009	$  4,968,940
2010	$  3,907,651
2011	$  5,101,855

5. 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 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion

For the six months ended February 29, 2004, the fees paid to FAS and FServ were $110,480 and $53,466, respectively, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

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 daily net assets of the Fund's Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class F Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these Shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC. FSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

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

FSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

For the six months ended February 29, 2004, Class A Shares and Class F Shares did not incur a distribution services fee.

Sales Charges

For the six months ended February 29, 2004, FSC retained $48,658 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. FSC also retained $7,686 of contingent deferred sales charges relating to redemptions of Class A Shares and $1,554 relating to redemptions of Class C Shares and $3,631 relating to redemptions of Class F Shares. See "What do Shares Cost?" in the prospectus.

Shareholder Services Fee

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

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

FServ, through its subsidiary FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. 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 at its sole discretion.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

Prior to January 1, 2004, FServ maintained the Fund's accounting records for which it received a fee. The fee was based on the level of the Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The fee paid to FServ during the reporting period was $48,711, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Interfund Transactions

During the six months ended February 29, 2004, 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 compiled with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $90,186,430 and $59,730,000, respectively.

General

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

6. INVESTMENT RISK

Although the Fund has a diversified portfolio, the Fund has 55.6% of its portfolio invested in lower rated and comparable quality unrated high-yield securities. Investments in higher yield securities may be subject to a greater degree of credit risk and the risk tends to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. The risk of loss due to default by the issuer may be significantly greater for the holders of high yielding securities because such securities are generally unsecured and often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer.

7. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations (and in-kind contributions), for the six months ended February 29, 2004, were as follows:

Purchases	$	49,591,845
Sales	$	40,332,187

8. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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 filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and will respond appropriately. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations have been filed, and others may be filed in the future. Although Federated does not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from related regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.

This report is authorized for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by the Fund's prospectus, which contains facts concerning its objective and policies, management fees, expenses and other information.

A description of the policies and procedures that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to securities held in the Fund's portfolio is available, without charge and upon request, by calling 1-800-341-7400.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT FUND DOCUMENT DELIVERY

In an effort to reduce costs and avoid duplicate mailings, the Fund(s) intend to deliver a single copy of certain documents to each household in which more than one shareholder of the Fund(s) resides (so-called "householding"), as permitted by applicable rules. The Fund's "householding" program covers its/their Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, and supplements to each, as well as Semi-Annual and Annual Shareholder Reports and any Proxies or information statements. Shareholders must give their written consent to participate in the "householding" program. The Fund is also permitted to treat a shareholder as having given consent ("implied consent") if (i) shareholders with the same last name, or believed to be members of the same family, reside at the same street address or receive mail at the same post office box, (ii) the Fund gives notice of its intent to "household" at least sixty (60) days before it begins "householding" and (iii) none of the shareholders in the household have notified the Fund(s) or their agent of the desire to "opt out" of "householding." Shareholders who have granted written consent, or have been deemed to have granted implied consent, can revoke that consent and opt out of "householding" at any time: shareholders who purchased shares through an intermediary should contact their representative; other shareholders may call the Fund at 1-800-341-7400.
