Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments 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 March 1, 2005 to August 31, 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 3/1/2005	Ending Account Value 8/31/2005	Expenses Paid During Period¹
Actual:
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,042.40	$5.56
Class B Shares	$1,000	$1,038.50	$9.40
Class C Shares	$1,000	$1,038.40	$9.40
Class F Shares	$1,000	$1,042.40	$5.51
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses):
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,019.76	$5.50
Class B Shares	$1,000	$1,015.98	$9.30
Class C Shares	$1,000	$1,015.98	$9.30
Class F Shares	$1,000	$1,019.81	$5.45

1 Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratios, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The annualized expense ratios are as follows:

Class A Shares		1.08%
Class B Shares		1.83%
Class C Shares		1.83%
Class F Shares		1.07%

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

The fund's total returns, based on net asset value, for the 12-month reporting period were 9.34% for Class A Shares, 8.53% for Class B Shares, 8.52% for Class C Shares and 9.34% for Class F Shares. The total return of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index (LBMB),¹ the fund's benchmark index, was 5.31% during the 12-month reporting period. The fund (Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class F Shares) outperformed the LBMB in both total return and income.

The average total return of the Lipper High Yield Municipal Debt Fund's Average (Average),² a performance benchmark for the fund, was 8.71% during the 12-month reporting period. The dividend yield of the Class A and Class F Shares also remained above the Lipper peer group average. However, a portion of the dividend yield was attributable to the prior year's undistributed earnings.

1 The LBMB is the broad-based securities market index for the fund. To be included in the LBMB, bonds must have a minimum credit rating of Baa, have an outstanding par value of at least $3 million and be issued as part of a transaction of at least $50 million. The LBMB includes both zero coupon bonds and bonds subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Effective October 1, 2005, the fund elected to add the Lehman Brothers Non-Investment Grade Municipal Bond Index (LBNIGMBI) as another market benchmark for the fund. The total return of the LBNIGMBI was 13.24% during the 12-month reporting period. To be included in the LBNIGMBI, bonds must be non-rated or be rated Ba1 or below, have been issued as part of a transaction of at least $20 million, have an outstanding par value of at least $3 million, and have a remaining maturity of at least one year. Indexes are unmanaged, and it is not possible to invest directly in an index. The fund's total returns for the most recently completed fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses which were not reflected in the total returns of the LBMB and LBNIGMBI.

2 Lipper figures represent the average of the total returns reports by all the mutual funds designated by Lipper, Inc. as falling into the respective categories indicated. They do not reflect sales charges. It is not possible to invest directly in an average.

The fund's investment strategy focused on: (a) the selection of lower-quality investment grade and non-investment grade securities; these securities typically have higher yields than high-quality investment grade securities available in the market;³ (b) the selection of intermediate to long maturity bonds that typically yield more than short-term bonds due to the upward sloping yield curve (the yield curve shows the relative yield of similar securities with different maturities); and (c) the allocation of the portfolio among securities of similar issuers (referred to as sectors) and to inverse floaters; inverse floaters typically have higher yields due to the leverage structure of these securities. The fund's strategy also focused on the effective duration of the fund's portfolio (which indicates the portfolio's sensitivity to changes in interest rates). These were the most significant factors affecting the fund's performance.

The following discussion focuses on the performance of the fund's Class A Shares. The 9.34% total return of the Class A Shares for the reporting period consisted of 5.84% of tax-exempt dividends and 3.50% appreciation in the net asset value of the shares.

MARKET OVERVIEW

During the reporting period, long-term interest rates remained low but showed some volatility, as the bond market appeared to attempt to determine the extent of the strength of the U.S. economy and the Fed intentions concerning short-term interest rates. The ten-year Treasury note began the reporting period at 4.12%, reached a high of 4.64% on March 22, 2005, and then declined to 4.01% at the end of the reporting period. The continuation of the low interest rate environment resulted in investors pursuing lower rated credits because of the additional yield they offered. As a result, certain revenue bond sectors outperformed the LBMB, such as hospital, industrial development and pollution control project bonds. High-yield, tax-exempt municipal debt (non-investment grade bonds rated "BB" and lower or unrated bonds of comparable quality) provided strong total returns, as investors were attracted to the significantly higher yield provided by these issues.

The Fed raised short-term interest rates eight times during the reporting period bringing the Federal Funds Target Rate to 3.50% by the end of the reporting period. This resulted in a significant flattening of the municipal yield curve with short-term interest rates rising and long-term interest rates declining (that is, while securities provided higher incremental income or yield as maturities became longer, the amount of the increase in incremental income was less or flattened).

3 Investment grade securities are securities that are rated at least "BBB" or unrated securities of a comparable quality. Non-investment grade securities are securities that are not rated at least "BBB" or unrated securities of a comparable quality. Credit ratings are an indication of the risk that a security will default. They do not protect a security from credit risk. Lower-rated bonds typically offer higher yields to help compensate investors for the increased risk associated with them. Among these risks are lower creditworthiness, greater price volatility, more risk to principal and income than with higher-rated securities and increased possibilities of default.

CREDIT QUALITY

Credit spreads, or the yield difference between the "AAA" municipal bonds and bonds of lower credit quality and similar maturity, decreased during the reporting period. Credit spreads became tighter to a greater extent for "BBB" rated (or comparable quality) debt than for other investment grade rated ("AAA," "AA," "A" or comparable quality) debt. Non-investment grade (or high-yield) tax-exempt municipal debt also performed well during the reporting period, as the demand for non-investment grade, tax-exempt municipal debt was great. The tightening of credit spreads between lower-quality bonds and high-quality bonds benefited the fund's performance because of the fund's sizable positions in lower-quality, investment-grade, tax-exempt municipal bonds and non-investment grade, tax-exempt municipal bonds.

YIELD CURVE AND MATURITY

Tax-exempt municipal bonds with longer maturities provided better returns during the reporting period as the yield curve flattened and the yields on bonds with longer maturities declined while the yield on bonds with shorter maturities increased. The declining long-term interest rates, and flattening of the yield curve, benefited the fund's performance because of the fund's high concentration in tax-exempt municipal bonds with long maturities (20 to 30 years).

SECTORS AND SECURITY SELECTION

During the reporting period, the fund allocated more of its portfolio to transportation (tolls roads and secured airline bonds), tobacco, education, and hospital bonds. These sectors performed well and benefited fund performance. A number of holdings were upgraded in both the hospital and education sectors, which resulted in these holdings gaining in price. This benefited the fund's performance. The increased income and price appreciation derived from the fund's holdings of inverse floaters also benefited the fund's performance.

DURATION⁴

As determined at the end of the reporting period, the fund's dollar-weighted average duration was 5.96 years. Duration management is a significant component of the fund's investment strategy. The fund's hedging strategy negatively affected the fund's performance. During most of the reporting period, in anticipation of rising interest rates, the fund hedged the portfolio (adjusted the duration shorter) using Treasury future contracts. The fund's use of these instruments, however, negatively affected the fund's performance since these instruments did not perform well because longer-term and intermediate-term municipal interest rates declined during the reporting period.

4 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 with shorter durations.

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 4.50%.

1 Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund after deducting the maximum sales charge of 4.50% ($10,000 investment minus $450 sales charge = $9,550). The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The LBMB, LBNIGMBI, and LHMDFA have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indexes and the average.

2 Effective October 1, 2005, the Fund elected to add the Lehman Brothers Non-Investment Grade Municipal Bond Index (LBNIGMBI) as another market benchmark for the Fund. To be included in the LBNIGMBI, bonds must be non-rated or be rated Ba1 or below, have been issued as part of a transaction of at least $20 million, have an outstanding par value of at least $3 million, and have a remaining maturity of at least one year. The LBMB and LBNIGMBI 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 LHMDFA represents the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper, Inc. as falling in the category indicated, and is not adjusted to reflect any sales charges. However, these total returns are reported net of expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in a 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 or average.

The LHMDFA represents the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper, Inc. as falling in the category indicated, and is not adjusted to reflect any sales charges. However, these total returns are reported net of expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in a 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 or average.

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. Rated securities that have been prerefunded, but not rated again by the NRSRO, 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.

Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the one identified have been included in the "Not rated by..." category. Of the portfolio's total investments, 46.0% 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.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2005

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated Municipal High Yield Advantage Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as a non-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. 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. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters.

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. The Fund generally values short-term securities according to prices furnished by an independent pricing service, except that short-term securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost. Prices furnished by an independent pricing service are intended to be indicative of the mean between the bid and asked prices currently offered to institutional investors for the securities. 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. Distributions of net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. 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 year ended August 31, 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 August 31, 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 year ended August 31, 2005, the Fund had realized losses on futures contracts of $1,069,671.

At August 31, 2005, the Fund had the following outstanding futures contracts:

Expiration Date		Contracts to Receive		Position		Unrealized Depreciation
December 2005		150 U.S. Treasury Note 10-Year Futures		Short		$(148,256)

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 August 31, 2005, is as follows:

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.

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 defaulted security interest and discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities.

For the year ended August 31, 2005, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Paid-In Capital	Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)	Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses)
$(87,954)	$52,192	$35,762

Net investment income, 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 August 31, 2005 and 2004, was as follows:

		2005		2004
Tax-exempt income		$25,102,205		$24,361,402

As of August 31, 2005, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income	$	184,382
Net unrealized appreciation	$	29,111,334
Capital loss carryforward	$	49,555,161

At August 31, 2005, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $491,382,646. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes excluding any unrealized appreciation from futures contracts was $29,111,334. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $36,307,575 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $7,196,241.

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable primarily to differing treatments for the deferral of losses on wash sales and discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities.

At August 31, 2005, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $49,555,161 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
2013		$ 7,976,021

The Fund received a copy of a proposed adverse determination letter issued by the Internal Revenue Service to the issuer of the following security. In the event that this determination is not reversed or otherwise resolved by the issuer, the Fund may need to report the income from this security as taxable income.

Security		Market Value
Capital Trust Agency, FL, Revenue Bonds (Series 2001), 10.00% (Seminole Tribe of Florida Convention and Resort Hotel Facilities), 10/1/2033		$6,613,560

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. For the year ended August 31, 2005, the net fee paid to FAS was 0.076% of average daily net assets of the Fund.

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 financial intermediaries directly, the Fund may pay fees to FSC and FSC will use the fees to compensate financial intermediaries. For the year ended August 31, 2005, FSC retained $124,232 of fees paid by the Fund.

Sales Charges

For the year ended August 31, 2005, FSC retained $199,665 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, $6,811 relating to redemptions of Class C Shares, and $1,346 relating to redemption of Class F Shares. See "What Do Shares Cost?" in the Prospectus.

Shareholder Services Fee

The Fund will pay fees (Services 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 to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC), a subsidiary of Federated Investors, Inc., for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. Under certain agreements, rather than paying financial intermediaries directly, the Fund may pay Service Fees to FSSC and FSSC will use the fees to compensate financial intermediaries. FSSC or these financial intermediaries may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of their fee. This voluntary waiver can be modified or terminated at any time. For the year ended August 31, 2005, FSSC voluntarily waived $430 of its fee. For the year ended August 31, 2005, FSSC retained $12,631 of fees paid by the Fund.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended August 31, 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 $250,663,755 and $168,505,000, 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 52.3% 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, for the year ended August 31, 2005, were as follows:

Purchases		$	151,299,264
Sales		$	84,496,719

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. 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. 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 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.

9. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

At August 31, 2005, 100% of the distributions from net investment income are exempt from federal income tax, other than the federal alternative minimum tax.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MUNICIPAL HIGH YIELD ADVANTAGE FUND, INC.:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated Municipal High Yield Advantage Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), including the portfolio of investments, as of August 31, 2005, 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 five 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.

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 August 31, 2005, 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 Municipal High Yield Advantage Fund, Inc. at August 31, 2005, 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 five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Board Review of Advisory Contract

As required by the Act, the Fund's Board has reviewed the Fund's investment advisory contract. The Board's decision to approve the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements. During its review of the contract, the Board considers many factors, among the most material of which are: the Fund's investment objectives; the Adviser's management philosophy, personnel, processes, and investment and operating strategies; long-term performance; the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the range and quality of services provided to the Fund and its shareholders by the Federated organization in addition to investment advisory services; and the Fund's relationship to the Federated family of funds.

In its decision to appoint or renew the Adviser, the Board is 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 recognizes 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 "selection" or approval of the Adviser must reflect the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund. The Board also considers the compensation and benefits received by the Adviser. This includes 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 fund trades, as well as advisory fees. In this regard, the Board is aware that various courts have interpreted provisions of the Act and have indicated in their decisions 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 bearing on the Adviser's service and fee. The Fund's Board is aware of these factors and is guided by them in its review of the Fund's advisory contract to the extent they are appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considers and weighs 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 is assisted in its deliberations by the advice of independent legal counsel. In this regard, the Board requests and receives substantial and detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization. Federated provides much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnishes additional reports in connection with the particular meeting at which the Board's formal review of the advisory contract occurs. In between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board may receive information on particular matters as the need arises. Thus, the Board's evaluation of an advisory contract is informed by reports covering such matters as: the Adviser's investment philosophy, personnel, and processes; 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 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; the nature and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates; 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 evaluation process is evolutionary, reflecting continually developing considerations. 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 focuses on comparisons with other similar mutual funds (rather 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 already chosen 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 may be a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing on the Fund's investment program, which would in turn assist the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser's investment management services are such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract.

The Board also receives financial information about Federated, including reports on the compensation and benefits Federated derives from its relationships with the Federated funds. These reports cover 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 discuss any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades as well as waivers of fees and/or reimbursements of expenses. In order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waive fees and/or reimburse expenses. Although the Board considers the profitability of the Federated organization as a whole, it does not evaluate, on a fund-by-fund basis, Federated's "profitability" and/or "costs" (which would include an assessment as to whether "economies of scale" would be realized if the fund were to grow to some sufficient size). In the Board's view, the cost of performing advisory services on a fund-specific basis is both difficult to estimate satisfactorily and a relatively minor consideration in its overall evaluation. Analyzing isolated funds would require constructed allocations of the costs of shared resources and operations based on artificial assumptions that are inconsistent with the existing relationships within a large and diversified family of funds that receive advisory and other services from the same organization. Although the Board is always eager to discover any genuine "economies of scale," its experience has been that such "economies" are likely to arise only when a fund grows dramatically, and becomes and remains very large in size. Even in these instances, purchase and redemption activity, as well as the presence of expense limitations (if any), may offset any perceived economies. As suggested above, the Board considers the information it receives about the Fund's performance and expenses as compared to an appropriate set of similar competing funds to be more relevant.

The Board bases its decision to approve an 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 are relevant to every Federated fund, nor does the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that are relevant, the Board's decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated's performance and actions provide a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

            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.

were approved by the registrants audit committee pursuant to paragraph
(c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X:

            audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01
            of Regulation S-X, 0% and 0% respectively.

            services to the registrant that were approved by the registrants
            audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01
            of Regulation S-X, 0% and 0% respectively.

(g)   Non-Audit Fees billed to the registrant, the registrant's investment
      adviser, and certain entities controlling, controlled by or under
      common control with the investment adviser:

                  Fiscal year ended 2004 - $239,952



(h)         The registrant's Audit Committee has considered that the
provision of non-audit services that were rendered to 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
that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of
Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's
independence.
