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 September 1, 2004 to February 28, 2005.
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 provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and 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 9/1/2004 | | Ending Account Value 2/28/2005 | | Expenses Paid During Period 1 | |

1 Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratios, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The annualized expense ratios are as follows:
Class A Shares | | 1.07% |
Class B Shares | 1.82% | |
Class C Shares | 1.82% | |
Class F Shares | 1.07% |
Portfolio of Investments Summary Tables
At February 28, 2005, the Fund's credit-quality ratings composition 1 was as follows:
S&P Long-Term Ratings as Percentage of Total Investments 2 | Moody's Long-Term Ratings as Percentage of Total Investments 2 | |||||
AAA | | 10.0% | Aaa | | 10.3% | |
AA | 4.8% | Aa | 4.0% | |||

Not Rated by S&P | 54.0% | Not Rated by Moody's | 56.0% | |||
TOTAL | 100.0% | TOTAL | 100.0% |
1 These tables depict the long-term, credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund's portfolio holdings by Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), each of which is a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). These credit-quality ratings are shown without regard to gradations within a given rating category. For example, securities rated "A-" have been included in the "A" rated category. Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the one identified have been included in the "Not rated by..." category. Rated securities that have been prerefunded, but not rated again by the NRSRO, also have been included in the "Not rated by..." category. Rated securities include a security with an obligor and/or credit enhancer that has received a rating from an NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations that is comparable in priority and security with the security held by the Fund. Credit-quality ratings are an assessment of the risk that a security will default in payment and do not address other risks presented by the security. Please see the descriptions of credit-quality ratings in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.
These tables depict the long-term, credit-quality ratings as assigned only by the NRSRO identified in each table. Of the portfolio's total investments, 46.1% do not have long-term ratings by either of these NRSROs.
2 Percentages are based on total investments, which may differ from the Fund's total net assets used in computing the percentages in the Portfolio of Investments which follows.

1. ORGANIZATION
Federated Municipal High Yield Advantage Fund, Inc. (formerly Federated Municipal Opportunities Fund, Inc.) (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund is non-diversified. The investment objective is to provide a high level of current income which is generally exempt from federal regular income tax. Interest from the Fund's investments may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals and corporations and state and local taxes. 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 accordance with procedures established by and under general supervision of the Board of Directors (the "Directors").
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. 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 bears 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.
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.
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 28, 2005, the Fund had no 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 28, 2005, the Fund had no open swap contracts.
Futures Contracts
The Fund periodically may sell bond interest rate futures contracts to manage duration and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a bond interest rate futures contract with a broker, the Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a "variation margin" account. Daily, the Fund receives from or pays to the broker a specified amount of cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. For the six months ended February 28, 2005, the Fund had realized gains on futures contracts of $130,644.

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 accordance with procedures established by and under general supervision of the Directors.
Additional information on restricted securities, excluding securities purchased under Rule 144A that have been deemed liquid by the Directors, held at February 28, 2005, is as follows:

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 2005, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $457,487,894. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes excluding any unrealized appreciation from futures contracts was $19,990,149. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $27,042,054 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $7,051,905.
At August 31, 2004, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $41,579,140 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 |
2008 | $24,259,223 | |
2009 | $ 4,968,940 | |
2010 | $ 3,907,651 | |
2011 | $ 5,101,855 | |
2012 | $ 3,341,471 |
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.
Administrative Fee
Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:
Maximum 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. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FAS 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 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.
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. Rather than paying investment professionals directly, the Fund may pay fees to FSC and FSC will use the fees to compensate investment professionals. For the six months ended February 28, 2005, FSC retained $60,778 of fees paid by the Fund. For the six months ended February 28, 2005, Class A and Class F Shares did not incur a distribution services fee.
Sales Charges
For the six months ended February 28, 2005, FSC retained $81,371 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. FSC also retained $13,497 of contingent deferred sales charges relating to redemptions of Class A Shares, $6,746 relating to redemptions of Class C Shares and $823 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 fees 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. Rather than paying investment professionals directly, the Fund may pay fees to FSSC and FSSC will use the fees to compensate investment professionals. For the six months ended February 28, 2005, FSSC retained $835 of fees paid by the Fund.
Interfund Transactions
During the six months ended February 28, 2005, 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 $129,730,000 and $87,160,000, respectively.
General
Certain of the Officers and Directors of the Fund are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.
6. INVESTMENT RISK
The Fund has 45.5% of its portfolio invested in lower-rated and comparible 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 28, 2005, were as follows:
Purchases | | $ | 65,457,208 |
Sales | $ | 46,713,219 |
8. 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 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. 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, and seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and will respond appropriately. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these recent lawsuits 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.

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.
