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 May 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
The Federated Max-Cap Index Fund's Institutional Shares, Institutional Service Shares, Class C Shares, and Class K Shares produced total returns of 15.99%, 15.63%, 14.86%, and 15.14%, respectively, based on net asset value for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2006. The fund's benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500), 1 posted a total return of 16.34% for the 12-month reporting period.
A healthy 3.78% return for November 2005 gave the S&P 500 enough traction to weather a 0.03% December 2005 return and post a gain of 3.82% for the November 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005 reporting period. So far, the fortunes of stocks in 2006 have been very different than 2005, with global equities posting impressive gains in the first quarter, correcting significantly in the second quarter and finally rallying again in the third quarter. Large cap stocks led small cap stocks out of the correction, and the S&P 500 managed an impressive 12.06% year-to-date return by period-end.
From a style perspective, value once again outperformed growth during the 12-month reporting period, with the S&P 500/Citigroup Value Index 2 returning 20.92%, while the S&P 500/Citigroup Growth Index 3 posted a return of 11.98%.
1 The S&P 500 is a market capitalization weighted index of 500 stocks designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries. The index is unmanaged, and investments cannot be made in an index. "Standard & Poor's ®," "S&P®," "S&P 500®," "Standard & Poor's 500" and "500" are trademarks of Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and have been licensed for use by Federated Securities Corp. The Fund is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by S&P, and S&P makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in the Fund.
2 The S&P 500/Citigroup Value Index is a market capitalization-weighted index of the stocks in the S&P 500 having the lowest price-to-book ratios. The index consists of approximately half of the S&P 500 on a market capitalization basis. The index is unmanaged, and investments cannot be made in an index.
3 The S&P 500/Citigroup Growth Index is a market capitalization-weighted index of the stocks in the S&P 500 having the highest price-to-book ratios. The index consists of approximately half of the S&P 500 on a market capitalization basis. The index is unmanaged, and investments cannot be made in an index.
Turning to sector performance, all 10 sectors 4 included in the S&P 500 posted a significant positive return for the 12-month reporting period. The top performer for the 12-month reporting period was Telecommunication Services returning 32.59%, followed by Materials and Energy returning 24.72% and 19.35%, respectively. The worst performer during the 12-month reporting period was Information Technology, returning 9.93%, followed by Health Care and Consumer Staples, returning 11.37% and 13.47%, respectively.
While the enhanced index component of the fund contributed positively to the fund's performance in previous periods, this component made a slightly negative contribution to the fund's performance during this reporting period. Positive contributions to performance were driven by stock substitution strategies involving the purchasing of substitutes for benchmark stocks, such as acquisition targets of benchmark companies or shares listed on another exchange. Negative contributions to performance were driven by quantitative strategies involving the overweight and underweight of stocks relative to the S&P 500. Additionally, the fund's management of certain index changes produced a slight negative contribution to the fund's performance.
The fund utilized S&P 500 futures to provide equity exposure on the fund's cash balances. While over the long term, S&P 500 futures should mirror the performance of the S&P 500, pricing disparity can appear in the short term and the fund can benefit or be harmed by trading futures instead of stocks when money goes in and out of the fund. During the 12-month reporting period, the trading of futures contracts had a negligible impact on the fund.
Lastly, the total return of the fund's shares reflects the impact of actual cash flows, transaction costs, and other expenses.
4 Sector classifications are based upon the classification of the Standard & Poor's Global Industry Classification Standard (SPGIC).

Performance data quoted represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than what is stated. For current to the most recent month-end performance and after-tax returns, visit FederatedInvestors.com or call 1-800-341-7400. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Mutual funds are not obligations of or guaranteed by any bank and are not federally insured.
1 The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The S&P 500 has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index.
2 The S&P 500 is not adjusted to reflect taxes, sales charges, expenses or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. The S&P 500 is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2006
1. ORGANIZATION
Federated Index Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of three portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated Max-Cap Index Fund (the "Fund"), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The Fund offers four classes of shares: Institutional Shares, Institutional Service Shares, Class C Shares, and Class K Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investment results that generally correspond to the aggregate price and dividend performance of publicly-traded common stocks comprising the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America.
Investment Valuation
Market values of the Fund's portfolio securities are determined as follows:
for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available;
in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;
futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. The Board of Trustees (the "Trustees") may determine in good faith that another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value;
for investments in other open-end regulated investment companies, based on net asset value;
for fixed-income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed-income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost; and
for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.
Prices for fixed-income securities furnished by a pricing service may be based on a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Such prices are generally intended to be indicative of the bid prices currently offered to institutional investors for the securities. The Trustees have approved the use of such pricing services. A number of pricing services are available, and the Fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.
Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or other financial institutions that trade the securities.
Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its NAV, the Fund values foreign securities using the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund's Trustees, although the actual calculation may be done by others.
Repurchase Agreements
It is the policy of the Fund to require the other party to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Fund's custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Fund holds a "securities entitlement" and exercises "control" as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Fund has established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the other party to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.
With respect to agreements to repurchase U.S. government securities and cash items, the Fund treats the repurchase agreement as an investment in the underlying securities and not as an obligation of the other party to the repurchase agreement. Other repurchase agreements are treated as obligations of the other party secured by the underlying securities. Nevertheless, the insolvency of the other party or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Fund to receive less than the full repurchase price. Under the terms of the repurchase agreement, any amounts received by the Fund in excess of the repurchase price and related transaction costs must be remitted to the other party.
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in which eligible securities are transferred into joint trading accounts maintained by the custodian or sub-custodian for investment companies and other clients advised by the Fund's adviser and its affiliates. The Fund will participate on a pro rata basis with the other investment companies and clients in its share of the securities transferred under such repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of such securities.
Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions
Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income are declared and paid quarterly. 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 Institutional Shares, Institutional Service Shares, Class C Shares, and Class K Shares bear distribution services fees and shareholder services fees unique to those classes and Class K Shares bear certain transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees unique to that class. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.
Premium and Discount Amortization
All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes.
Federal Taxes
It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary.
Withholding taxes, and where appropriate, deferred withholding taxes, on foreign interest, dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country's tax rules and rates.
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.
Securities Lending
The Fund participates in a securities lending program providing for the lending of equity securities to qualified brokers. The Fund normally receives cash collateral for securities loaned that is invested in short-term securities including repurchase agreements. Collateral is maintained at a minimum level of 100% of the market value of investments loaned, plus interest, if applicable. Earnings on collateral are allocated between the securities lending agent, as a fee for its services under the program, and the Fund, according to agreed-upon rates.
As of October 31 2006, securities subject to this type of arrangement and related collateral were as follows:
Market Value of Securities Loaned
|
| Market Value of Collateral
|
$79,500,231
|
| $82,455,000
|
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions
The Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.
Futures Contracts
The Fund purchases stock index futures contracts to manage cashflows, enhance yield and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a stock index futures contract with a broker, the Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a "variation margin" account. Daily, the Fund receives from or pays to the broker a specified amount of cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of the underlying securities. For the year ended October 31, 2006, the Fund had net realized gains on futures contracts of $2,536,263.
Futures contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after the Fund's portfolio of investments.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (FCs) are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rates of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of FCs, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.
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 deferral of wash sales, foreign cash and litigation settlements.
For the year ended October 31, 2006, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:
Increase (Decrease)
|
Paid-In Capital
|
| Undistributed Net Investment Income
|
| Accumulated Net Realized Gains
|
$(78,114)
|
| $(29)
|
| $78,143
|
Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.
The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended October 31, 2006, and 2005, was as follows:
|
| 2006
|
| 2005
|
Ordinary income 1
|
| $18,005,285
|
| $21,126,458
|
Long-term capital gains
|
| $27,245,036
|
| - --
|
1 For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.
As of October 31, 2006, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income
|
| $
| 9,543,671
|
|
Undistributed long-term capital gains
|
| $
| 89,963,380
|
|
Net unrealized appreciation
|
| $
| 707,411,061
|
|
Other temporary adjustments
|
| $
| (1,125,953
| )
|
At October 31, 2006, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $719,388,712. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes excluding any unrealized appreciation resulting from futures contracts was $706,301,086. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $709,481,247 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $3,180,161.
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable in part to differing treatments for the deferral of losses on wash sales.
5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management Fee
Federated Equity Management Company of Pennsylvania, the Fund's manager (the "Manager"), receives for its services an annual management fee equal to 0.30% of the Fund's average daily net assets. For the year ended October 31, 2006, the Manager voluntarily waived $243,094 of its fee. In addition, the Manager reimbursed $246,045 of transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees and expenses.

(the "Subadvisor"), the Subadvisor receives an annual fee from the Manager equal to 0.0150% times 80% of the Fund's average daily net assets plus 0.150% times 20% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Distribution Services Fee

(FSC), the principal distributor, from the daily net assets of the Fund's Institutional Service Shares, Class C Shares and Class K Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC:

Although these actions are voluntary, the Manager and its affiliates have agreed not to terminate these waivers and/or reimbursements until after December 31, 2007.
General
Certain of the Officers and Trustees of the Fund are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds") were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. These lawsuits began to be filed shortly after Federated's first public announcement that it had received requests for information on shareholder trading activities in the Funds from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Office of the New York State Attorney General ("NYAG"), and other authorities. In that regard, on November 28, 2005, Federated announced that it had reached final settlements with the SEC and the NYAG with respect to those matters. As Federated previously reported in 2004, it has already paid approximately $8.0 million to certain funds as determined by an independent consultant. As part of these settlements, Federated agreed to pay for the benefit of fund shareholders additional disgorgement and a civil money penalty in the aggregate amount of an additional $72 million. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and intend to defend this litigation. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these lawsuits, all of which seek unquantified damages, attorneys' fees and expenses, and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.
8. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
For the year ended October 31, 2006, the amount of long-term capital gains designated by the Fund was $27,245,036.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, 100.0% of total income (including short-term capital gain) distributions made by the Fund are qualifying dividends which may be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15%, as provided for by the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Act of 2003. Complete information is reported in conjunction with the reporting of your distributions on Form 1099-DIV.
Of the ordinary income (including short-term capital gain) distributions made by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2006, 100.0% qualify for the dividend received deduction available to corporate shareholders.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED INDEX TRUST AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MAX-CAP INDEX FUND:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated Max-Cap Index Fund (the "Fund") (one of the portfolios constituting Federated Index Trust), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2006, 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 periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2006, 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 Max-Cap Index Fund, a portfolio of Federated Index Trust at October 31, 2006, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract
FEDERATED MAX-CAP INDEX FUND (THE "FUND")
The Fund's Board reviewed the Fund's investment advisory contract and subadvisory contract at meetings held in May 2006 and approved a new subadvisory contract at meetings held in August 2006. The Board's decision regarding these contracts reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements and approve a new subadvisory contract with BlackRock Investment Management, LLC ("BlackRock" or the "Subadviser"). The Fund's previous subadvisory contract (the "Previous Subadvisory Agreement") with Fund Asset Management, L.P., doing business as Mercury Advisors ("Mercury Advisors"), was automatically terminated pursuant to Section 15 of the 1940 Act in connection with a transaction on September 29, 2006 whereby Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. and BlackRock combined Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L.P. and certain affiliates, including Mercury Advisors, with BlackRock, Inc. to create a new asset management company. The new subadvisory agreement and the Previous Subadvisory Agreement are substantially similar.
Prior to the meetings, the Adviser had recommended that the Federated Funds appoint a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated Fund. The Senior Officer appointed by the Fund has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent written evaluation that covered topics discussed below, which the Board considered, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract and subadvisory contract.
During its review of these contracts, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser and Mercury Advisors, and to be received by the Subadviser. This included the fees received for services provided to the Fund by other entities in the Federated organization and research services received by the Adviser and Mercury Advisors, and to be received by the Subadviser from brokers that execute Federated Fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board is also familiar with judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the adviser, including the performance of the Fund; the adviser's cost of providing the services; the extent to which the adviser may realize "economies of scale" as the Fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the adviser and its affiliates as a result of the adviser's relationship with the Fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant bearing on the adviser's services and fees. The Board further considered management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser for like services and costs to the Adviser and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit and profit margins of the Adviser and its affiliates from supplying such services. The Board was aware of these considerations and was guided by them in its review of the Fund's advisory contract and subadvisory contract to the extent they are appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.
The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated Funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by the advice of independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, the Board has requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund, the Federated organization, Mercury Advisors and the Subadviser that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise the Senior Officer's evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional reports in connection with the particular meetings at which the Board's formal review of the advisory contracts occurred. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board has received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board's consideration of the advisory contracts included review of the Senior Officer's evaluation, accompanying data and additional reports covering such matters as: the Adviser's, Mercury Advisors' and the Subadviser's investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund's short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or "peer group" funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund's investment objectives; the Fund's expenses (including the advisory fees and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund's portfolio securities (if any); the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser, Mercury Advisors and their affiliates and to be provided by the Subadviser; the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund's relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated Funds, the Federated companies that service them, Mercury Advisors and the Subadviser (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated's, Mercury Advisors' and the Subadviser's responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Federated Funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board also considered information regarding the results of the Adviser's evaluation of Mercury Advisors' performance, commitment to client service and investment capabilities and its assurance that the current portfolio managers of the Fund would continue to manage the Fund as employees of BlackRock. The Board also considered the Adviser's recommendation to approve the new subadvisory agreement with BlackRock. The Board's evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.
With respect to the Fund's performance and expenses in particular, the Board has found the use of comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be particularly useful, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because, simply put, they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund's investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes. The Fund's ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was a useful indicator of how the Adviser, Mercury Advisors and the Subadviser are executing the Fund's investment program, which in turn assisted the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's, Mercury Advisors' and the Subadviser's investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract and approval of the new subadvisory contract as it is expected that the existing portfolio managers will continue to managed the Fund as employees of BlackRock. In this regard, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated's fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences included, but are not limited to targeting different investors, being subject to different laws and regulations, different legal structure, distribution costs, average account size and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be significant in determining the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory contracts.
The Senior Officer reviewed reports compiled by Federated, and directed the preparation of independent reports, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups is of significance in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.
For the periods ending December 31, 2005, the Fund's performance for the one year period was above the median of the relevant peer group, and the Fund's performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for the three year period. The Board discussed the Fund's performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and the performance of the Fund.
The Board also received financial information about Federated, including reports on the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated Funds. These reports covered not only the fees under the advisory contract, but also fees received by Federated's subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated Funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated Funds' administrator). The reports also discussed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated Fund trades 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 waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate. The Board also received financial information about Mercury Advisors and the Subadviser, as well as reports that discussed any indirect benefit Mercury Advisors or the Subadviser may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Fund trades.
Federated furnished reports, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund by fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund by fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, although they may apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs and the lack of consensus on how to allocate those costs causes such allocation reports to be of questionable value. The Board received similar revenue and cost information about the Fund from Mercury Advisors. The allocation reports were considered in the analysis by the Board but were determined to be of limited use.
The Board also reviewed profitability information for the Adviser and Mercury Advisors and other publicly held fund management companies, provided by the Senior Officer, who noted the limited availability of such information, and concluded that the Adviser's and Mercury Advisors' profit margins did not appear to be excessive.
The Senior Officer's evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of "economies of scale" as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant additional investments in the portfolio management and distribution efforts supporting all of the Federated Funds and that the benefits of any economies, should they exist, were likely to be enjoyed by the fund complex as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with "breakpoints" that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size. The Senior Officer did not recommend institution of breakpoints in pricing Federated's fund advisory services at this time.
During the year ending December 31, 2005, the Fund's investment advisory fee after waivers and expense reimbursements, if any, was above the median of the relevant peer group. The Board reviewed the fees and other expenses of the Fund with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive. The Board will continue to monitor advisory fees and other expenses borne by the Fund.
No changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund's advisory contract, and the Senior Officer noted that Federated appeared to provide appropriate administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. For 2005, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates was satisfactory.
In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund's operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser's industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board's approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund.
The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract and subadvisory contracts on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board's decision to approve the contracts reflects its determination that the Adviser's and Mercury Advisors' performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements and that the expected performance of the new Subadviser, as a result of the existing portfolio managers continuing to manage the Fund as employees of BlackRock, provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to approve the new subadvisory contract.
The Senior Officer also made recommendations relating to the organization and availability of data and verification of processes for purposes of implementing future evaluations which the Adviser has agreed to implement.

See Notes which are an integral part of the Financial Statements
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Federated Mid-Cap Index Fund produced a total return of 12.91%, based on net asset value during the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2006. The Fund's benchmark, the S&P MidCap 400 Index (S&P 400), 1 posted a total return of 13.43% during the 12-month reporting period.
A healthy 4.89% return for November 2005 gave the S&P 400 enough traction to weather a 0.69% December 2005 return and post a gain of 5.62% for the November 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005 reporting period. The fortunes of stocks in 2006 have been very different than in 2005, with global equities posting impressive gains in the first quarter, correcting significantly in the second quarter and finally rallying again in the third quarter. After gaining 7.63% in the first quarter of 2006, the S&P 400 was hit hard by the correction and was unable to ride the large cap rally in the third quarter. Finally, a healthy 4.16% gain in October helped the Index climb back to a 7.40% year-to-date return, which was still shy of the first-quarter gains.
From a style perspective, value once again outperformed growth during the 12-month reporting period, with the S&P MidCap 400/Citigroup Value Index 2 returning 16.21%, while the S&P MidCap 400/Citigroup Growth Index 3 posted a return of 10.35%.
1 The S&P 400 is a market capitalization weighted index of common stocks representing all major industries in the mid-range of the U.S. stock market. The index is unmanaged, and investments cannot be made in an index. "Standard & Poor's ® ", "S&P ® ", "S&P 500 ® ", "Standard & Poor's 500" and "500" are trademarks of Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and have been licensed for use by Federated Securities Corp. The Fund is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by S&P, and S&P makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in the Fund.
2 The S&P MidCap 400/ Citigroup Value Index is a market capitalization-weighted index of the stocks in the S&P MidCap 400 Index having the lowest price-to-book ratios. The index consists of approximately half of the S&P MidCap 400 Index on a market capitalization basis. The index is unmanaged, and investments cannot be made in an index.
3 The S&P MidCap 400/Citigroup Growth Index is a market capitalization-weighted index of the stocks in the S&P MidCap 400 Index having the highest price-to-book ratios. The index consists of approximately half of the S&P MidCap 400 Index on a market capitalization basis. The index is unmanaged, and investments cannot be made in an index.
Turning to sector performance, all 10 sectors 4 posted a positive return for the 12-month reporting period. The top performer for the 12-month reporting period was Telecommunication Services, returning 27.99%, followed by Information Technology and Utilities, returning 20.25% and 19.01%, respectively. The worst performer during the 12-month reporting period was Health Care, returning 4.38%, followed by Consumer Discretionary and Energy, returning 6.22% and 6.26%, respectively.
The S&P 400 incurred several composition name changes over the 12-month reporting period and the fund benefited from its trading strategy to adjust the portfolio's holdings accordingly.
The fund utilized S&P 400 futures to provide equity exposure on the fund's cash balances. While over the long-term, S&P 400 futures should mirror the performance of the S&P 400, pricing disparity can occur in the short-term and the fund can benefit or be harmed by trading futures instead of stocks when money goes in and out of the fund. During the reporting period, the fund benefited from its trading of futures contracts. In addition, the total return of the fund's shares reflects the negative impact of actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses.
4 Sector classifications are based upon the classification of the Standard & Poor's Global Industry Classification Standard (SPGICS).

3 Cash collateral received from lending portfolio securities which is invested in short-term investments such as repurchase agreements or money market mutual funds.
4 Cash Equivalents includes any investments in money market mutual funds and/or overnight repurchase agreements (other than those representing securities lending collateral).
5 Assets, other than investments in securities, less liabilities. See Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
6 The Fund purchases index futures contracts to efficiently manage cash flows resulting from shareholder purchases and redemptions, dividend and capital gain payments to shareholders and corporate actions while maintaining exposure to the index and minimizing trading costs. Taking into consideration these open index future contracts, the Fund's total exposure to the S&P MidCap 400 Index is effectively 100.2%.

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2006
1. ORGANIZATION
Federated Index Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of three portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated Mid-Cap Index Fund (the "Fund"), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investment results generally corresponding to the aggregate price and dividend performance of the publicly traded common stocks that comprise the mid-level stock capitalization sector of the United States equity market. This group of stocks is known as the S&P MidCap 400 Index.
On March 24, 2006, the Fund received assets from the Mason Street Index 400 Stock Fund as the result of a tax-free reorganization, as follows:

1 Unrealized Appreciation is included in the Mason Street Index 400 Stock Fund Net Assets Received amount shown above.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America.
Investment Valuation
Market values of the Fund's portfolio securities are determined as follows:
for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available;
in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;
futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. The Board of Trustees (the "Trustees") may determine in good faith that another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value;
for investments in other open-end regulated investment companies, based on net asset value;
for fixed-income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed-income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost; and
for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.
Prices for fixed-income securities furnished by a pricing service may be based on a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Such prices are generally intended to be indicative of the bid prices currently offered to institutional investors for the securities. The Trustees have approved the use of such pricing services. A number of pricing services are available, and the Fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.
Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or other financial institutions that trade the securities.
Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its net asset value, the Fund values foreign securities using the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund's Trustees, although the actual calculation may be done by others.
Repurchase Agreements
It is the policy of the Fund to require the other party to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Fund's custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Fund holds a "securities entitlement" and exercises "control" as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Fund has established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the other party to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.
With respect to agreements to repurchase U.S. government securities and cash items, the Fund treats the repurchase agreement as an investment in the underlying securities and not as an obligation of the other party to the repurchase agreement. Other repurchase agreements are treated as obligations of the other party secured by the underlying securities. Nevertheless, the insolvency of the other party or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Fund to receive less than the full repurchase price. Under the terms of the repurchase agreement, any amounts received by the Fund in excess of the repurchase price and related transaction costs must be remitted to the other party.
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in which eligible securities are transferred into joint trading accounts maintained by the custodian or sub-custodian for investment companies and other clients advised by the Fund's adviser and its affiliates. The Fund will participate on a pro rata basis with the other investment companies and clients in its share of the securities transferred under such repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of such securities.
Investment Income, 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 and paid quarterly. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value.
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.
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions
The Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.
Futures Contracts
The Fund purchases stock index futures contracts to manage cashflows, enhance yield and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a stock index futures contract with a broker, the Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a "variation margin" account. Daily, the Fund receives from or pays to the broker a specified amount of cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of the underlying securities. For the year ended October 31, 2006, the Fund had net realized gains on futures contracts of $964,785.
Futures contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after the Fund's portfolio of investments.
Securities Lending
The Fund participates in a securities lending program providing for the lending of equity securities to qualified brokers. The Fund normally receives cash collateral for securities loaned that is invested in short-term securities including repurchase agreements. Collateral is maintained at a minimum level of 100% of the market value of investments loaned, plus interest, if applicable. Earnings on collateral are allocated between the securities lending agent, as a fee for its services under the program, and the Fund, according to agreed-upon rates.
As of October 31, 2006, securities subject to this type of arrangement and related collateral were as follows:
Market Value of Securities Loaned
|
| Market Value of Collateral
|
$91,032,512
|
| $96,084,000
|
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 to differing treatments for deferral of wash sales.
For the year ended October 31, 2006, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:
Increase (Decrease)
|
Paid-In Capital
|
| Accumulated Net Realized Gains
|
$177,751
|
| $(177,751)
|
Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.
The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, was as follows:
|
| 2006
|
| 2005
|
Ordinary income 1
|
| $19,462,785
|
| $11,127,429
|
Long-term capital gains
|
| $41,927,648
|
| $23,631,070
|
1 For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.
As of October 31, 2006, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income
|
| $
| 6,896,335
|
|
Undistributed long-term capital gain
|
| $
| 48,637,662
|
|
Net unrealized appreciation
|
| $
| 254,791,503
|
|
Other temporary adjustments
|
| $
| (6,961,978
| )
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable in part to differing treatments for the deferral of losses on wash sales and prior year merger adjustments.
At October 31, 2006, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $1,052,218,233. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes excluding any unrealized appreciation resulting from futures contracts was $247,868,283. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $294,346,498 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $46,478,215.
5. MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management Fee
Federated Equity Management Company of Pennsylvania, the Fund's manager (the "Manager"), receives for its services an annual management fee equal to 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Under the terms of a subadvisory contract between the Manager and BlackRock Investment Management, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (the "Subadvisor"), the Subadvisor receives an annual fee from the Manager equal to 0.030% of the Fund's average daily net assets. For the year ended October 31, 2006, the Manager voluntarily waived $1,314,506 of its fee. Prior to September 29, 2006, the Subadvisor was Fund Asset Management L.P., doing business as Mercury Advisors, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.
Shareholder Services Fee
The Fund may pay fees (Service Fees) up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Shares to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. For the year ended October 31, 2006, FSSC voluntarily waived $973,624 of its fee. For the year ended October 31, 2006, FSSC did not receive any fees paid by the Fund.
Expense Limitation
The Manager and its affiliate (FSSC) have voluntarily agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total operating expenses paid by the Fund (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 0.49% for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2007. Although these actions are voluntary, the Manager and its affiliate have agreed not to terminate these waivers and/or reimbursements until after December 31, 2007.
General
Certain of the Officers and Trustees of the Fund are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.
6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations for the year ended October 31, 2006, were as follows:

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds") were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. These lawsuits began to be filed shortly after Federated's first public announcement that it had received requests for information on shareholder trading activities in the Funds from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Office of the New York State Attorney General ("NYAG"), and other authorities. In that regard, on November 28, 2005, Federated announced that it had reached final settlements with the SEC and the NYAG with respect to those matters. As Federated previously reported in 2004, it has already paid approximately $8.0 million to certain funds as determined by an independent consultant. As part of these settlements, Federated agreed to pay for the benefit of fund shareholders additional disgorgement and a civil money penalty in the aggregate amount of an additional $72 million. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and intend to defend this litigation. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these lawsuits, all of which seek unquantified damages, attorneys' fees and expenses, and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.
8. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
For the year ended October 31, 2006, the amount of long-term capital gains designated by the Fund was $41,927,648.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED INDEX TRUST AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MID-CAP INDEX FUND:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated Mid-Cap Index Fund (the "Fund") (one of the portfolios constituting Federated Index Trust), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2006, 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 October 31, 2006, 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 Mid-Cap Index Fund, a portfolio of Federated Index Trust at October 31, 2006, 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.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract
FEDERATED MID-CAP INDEX FUND (THE "FUND")
The Fund's Board reviewed the Fund's investment advisory contract and subadvisory contract at meetings held in May 2006 and approved a new subadvisory contract at meetings held in August 2006. The Board's decision regarding these contracts reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements and approve a new subadvisory contract with BlackRock Investment Management, LLC ("BlackRock" or the "Subadviser"). The Fund's previous subadvisory contract (the "Previous Subadvisory Agreement") with Fund Asset Management, L.P., doing business as Mercury Advisors ("Mercury Advisors"), was automatically terminated pursuant to Section 15 of the 1940 Act in connection with a transaction on September 29, 2006 whereby Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. and BlackRock combined Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L.P. and certain affiliates, including Mercury Advisors, with BlackRock, Inc. to create a new asset management company. The new subadvisory agreement and the Previous Subadvisory Agreement are substantially similar.
Prior to the meetings, the Adviser had recommended that the Federated Funds appoint a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated Fund. The Senior Officer appointed by the Fund has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent written evaluation that covered topics discussed below, which the Board considered, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract and subadvisory contract.
During its review of these contracts, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser and Mercury Advisors, and to be received by the Subadviser. This included the fees received for services provided to the Fund by other entities in the Federated organization and research services received by the Adviser and Mercury Advisors, and to be received by the Subadviser from brokers that execute Federated fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board is also familiar with judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the adviser, including the performance of the Fund; the adviser's cost of providing the services; the extent to which the adviser may realize "economies of scale" as the Fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the adviser and its affiliates as a result of the adviser's relationship with the Fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant bearing on the adviser's services and fees. The Board further considered management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser for like services and costs to the Adviser and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit and profit margins of the Adviser and its affiliates from supplying such services. The Board was aware of these considerations and was guided by them in its review of the Fund's advisory contract and subadvisory contract to the extent they are appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.
The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated Funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by the advice of independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, the Board has requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund, the Federated organization, Mercury Advisors and the Subadviser that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise the Senior Officer's evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional reports in connection with the particular meetings at which the Board's formal review of the advisory contracts occurred. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board has received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board's consideration of the advisory contracts included review of the Senior Officer's evaluation, accompanying data and additional reports covering such matters as: the Adviser's, Mercury Advisors' and the Subadviser's investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund's short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or "peer group" funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund's investment objectives; the Fund's expenses (including the advisory fees and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund's portfolio securities (if any); the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser, Mercury Advisors and their affiliates and to be provided by the Subadviser; the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund's relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated Funds, the Federated companies that service them, Mercury Advisors and the Subadviser (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated's, Mercury Advisors' and the Subadviser's responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Federated Funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board also considered information regarding the results of the Adviser's evaluation of Mercury Advisors' performance, commitment to client service and investment capabilities and its assurance that the current portfolio managers of the Fund would continue to manage the Fund as employees of BlackRock. The Board also considered the Adviser's recommendation to approve the new subadvisory agreement with BlackRock. The Board's evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.
With respect to the Fund's performance and expenses in particular, the Board has found the use of comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be particularly useful, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because, simply put, they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund's investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes. The Fund's ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was a useful indicator of how the Adviser, Mercury Advisors and the Subadviser are executing the Fund's investment program, which in turn assisted the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's, Mercury Advisors' and the Subadviser's investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract and approval of the new subadvisory contract as it is expected that the existing portfolio managers will continue to manage the Fund as employees of BlackRock. In this regard, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated's fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences included, but are not limited to targeting different investors, being subject to different laws and regulations, different legal structure, distribution costs, average account size and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be significant in determining the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory contracts.
The Senior Officer reviewed reports compiled by Federated, and directed the preparation of independent reports, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups is of significance in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.
For the periods ending December 31, 2005, the Fund's performance for the one year period was above the median of the relevant peer group, and the Fund's performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for the three year period. The Board discussed the Fund's performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and the performance of the Fund.
The Board also received financial information about Federated, including reports on the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated Funds. These reports covered not only the fees under the advisory contract, but also fees received by Federated's subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated Funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds' administrator). The reports also discussed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades 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 waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate. The Board also received financial information about Mercury Advisors and the Subadviser, as well as reports that discussed any indirect benefit Mercury Advisors or the Subadviser may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Fund trades.
Federated furnished reports, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund by fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund by fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, although they may apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs and the lack of consensus on how to allocate those costs causes such allocation reports to be of questionable value. The Board received similar revenue and cost information about the Fund from Mercury Advisors. The allocation reports were considered in the analysis by the Board but were determined to be of limited use.
The Board also reviewed profitability information for the Adviser and Mercury Advisors and other publicly held fund management companies, provided by the Senior Officer, who noted the limited availability of such information, and concluded that the Adviser's and Mercury Advisors' profit margins did not appear to be excessive.
The Senior Officer's evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of "economies of scale" as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant additional investments in the portfolio management and distribution efforts supporting all of the Federated funds and that the benefits of any economies, should they exist, were likely to be enjoyed by the fund complex as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with "breakpoints" that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size. The Senior Officer did not recommend institution of breakpoints in pricing Federated's fund advisory services at this time.
During the year ending December 31, 2005, the Fund's investment advisory fee after waivers and expense reimbursements, if any, was above the median of the relevant peer group. The Board reviewed the fees and other expenses of the Fund with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive. The Board will continue to monitor advisory fees and other expenses borne by the Fund.
No changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund's advisory contract, and the Senior Officer noted that Federated appeared to provide appropriate administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. For 2005, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates was satisfactory.
In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund's operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser's industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board's approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund.
The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract and subadvisory contracts on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board's decision to approve the contracts reflects its determination that the Adviser's and Mercury Advisors' performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements and that the expected performance of the new Subadviser, as a result of the existing portfolio managers continuing to manage the Fund as employees of BlackRock, provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to approve the new subadvisory contract.
The Senior Officer also made recommendations relating to the organization and availability of data and verification of processes for purposes of implementing future evaluations which the Adviser has agreed to implement.

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 service 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 May 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
The Federated Mini-Cap Index Fund's Institutional Shares produced a total gross return of 19.24% while the fund's Class C Shares produced a total return of 18.23%, based on net asset value, during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2006. The fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 ® Index (RUS2), 1 returned 19.98% during the 12-month reporting period.
The RUS2 rallied in the first half of the 12-month reporting period, advancing 18.91% between November 1, 2005 and April 30, 2006. The RUS2 fell 8.10% during the fund's fiscal third quarter, May 1 to July 31, 2006, before rebounding with a 9.80% gain in the last three months of the 12-month reporting period.
Shares of value companies significantly outperformed growth stocks during the 12-month reporting period. The Russell 2000 Value Index 2 rose 22.90%, while the Russell 2000 Growth Index 3 posted a return of 17.07%.
All 10 sectors 4 of the RUS2 posted positive returns for the 12-month reporting period. The top performers for the 12-month reporting period included Materials (+43.36%), Telecommunication Services (+34.24%) and Consumer Staples (+20.93%). The weakest sectors were Health Care (+13.36%), Utilities (+16.49%) and Consumer Discretionary (+16.72%).
The fund utilized RUS2 futures to provide equity exposure on the fund's cash balances. While over the long-term RUS2 futures should mirror the performance of the RUS2, pricing disparity can appear in the short-term and the fund can benefit from or be harmed by trading futures instead of stocks when money goes in and out of the fund. During the 12-month reporting period, the fund benefited from its trading of futures contracts. In addition, the total return of the Fund's Shares reflects the negative impact of actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses.
1 The RUS2 measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, which represents approximately 8% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index.

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2006
1. ORGANIZATION
Federated Index Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of three portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated Mini-Cap Index Fund (the "Fund"), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The Fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and Class C Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investment results that correspond to the aggregate price and dividend performance of approximately 2,000 publicly traded common stocks that are ranked in terms of capitalization below the top 1,000 stocks that comprise the large and mid-range capitalization sector of the United States equity market. This group of stocks is known as the Russell 2000 ® Index.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America.
Investment Valuation
Market values of the Fund's portfolio securities are determined as follows:
for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available;
in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;
futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. The Board of Trustees (the "Trustees") may determine in good faith that another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value;
for investments in other open-end regulated investment companies, based on net asset value;
for fixed-income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed-income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost; and
for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.
Prices for fixed-income securities furnished by a pricing service may be based on a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Such prices are generally intended to be indicative of the bid prices currently offered to institutional investors for the securities, except that prices for corporate fixed-income securities traded in the United States are generally intended to be indicative of the mean between such bid prices and asked prices. The Trustees have approved the use of such pricing services. A number of pricing services are available, and the Fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.
Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or other financial institutions that trade the securities.
Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its NAV, the Fund values foreign securities using the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund's Trustees, although the actual calculation may be done by others.
Repurchase Agreements
It is the policy of the Fund to require the other party to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Fund's custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Fund holds a "securities entitlement" and exercises "control" as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Fund has established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the other party to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.
With respect to agreements to repurchase U.S. government securities and cash items, the Fund treats the repurchase agreement as an investment in the underlying securities and not as an obligation of the other party to the repurchase agreement. Other repurchase agreements are treated as obligations of the other party secured by the underlying securities. Nevertheless, the insolvency of the other party or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Fund to receive less than the full repurchase price. Under the terms of the repurchase agreement, any amounts received by the Fund in excess of the repurchase price and related transaction costs must be remitted to the other party.
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in which eligible securities are transferred into joint trading accounts maintained by the custodian or sub-custodian for investment companies and other clients advised by the Fund's adviser and its affiliates. The Fund will participate on a pro rata basis with the other investment companies and clients in its share of the securities transferred under such repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of such securities.
Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions
Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income are declared and paid annually. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class 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.
Withholding taxes, and where appropriate, deferred withholding taxes, on foreign interest, dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country's tax rules and rates.
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions
The Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.
Futures Contracts
The Fund purchases stock index futures contracts to manage cashflows, enhance yield and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a stock index futures contract with a broker, the Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a "variation margin" account. Daily, the Fund receives from or pays to the broker a specified amount of cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of the underlying securities. For the year ended October 31, 2006, the Fund had net realized losses on futures contracts of $280,965.
Futures contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after the Fund's portfolio of investments.
Securities Lending
The Fund participates in a securities lending program providing for the lending of equity securities to qualified brokers. The Fund normally receives cash collateral for securities loaned that is invested in short-term securities including repurchase agreements. Collateral is maintained at a minimum level of 100% of the market value of investments loaned, plus interest, if applicable. Earnings on collateral are allocated between the securities lending agent, as a fee for its services under the program, and the Fund, according to agreed-upon rates.
As of October 31, 2006, securities subject to this type of arrangement and related collateral were as follows:
Market Value of Securities Loaned
|
| Market Value of Collateral
|
$1,311,267
|
| $1,399,000
|
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 to differing treatments for wash sale adjustments.
For the year ended October 31, 2006, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:
Increase (Decrease)
|
Paid-In Capital
|
| Accumulated Net Realized Gains
|
$54,746
|
| $(54,746)
|
Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.
The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended October 31, 2006, and 2005, was as follows:
|
| 2006
|
| 2005
|
Ordinary income 1
|
| $158,928
|
| $122,716
|
Long-term capital gains
|
| $3,678,588
|
| - --
|
1 For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.
As of October 31, 2006, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income
|
| $
| 1,382,052
|
|
Undistributed long-term capital gains
|
| $
| 11,065,996
|
|
Net unrealized appreciation
|
| $
| 29,036,128
|
|
Other temporary adjustments
|
| $
| (698,975
| )
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable in part to differing treatments for the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
At October 31, 2006, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $81,408,438. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes excluding any unrealized appreciation resulting from futures contracts was $28,342,146. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $33,319,516 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $4,977,370.
5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Management Fee
Federated Equity Management Company of Pennsylvania, the Fund's manager (the "Manager"), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. For the year ended October 31, 2006, the Manager voluntarily waived $201,326 of its fee.
Under the terms of a subadvisory agreement between the Manager and BlackRock Investment Management, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (the "Subadvisor"), the Subadvisor receives an annual fee from the Manager equal to 0.030% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Prior to September 29, 2006, the Subadvisor was Fund Asset Management L.P., doing business as Mercury Advisors, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.
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 C Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of 0.75% of average daily net assets, annually, to compensate FSC. When FSC receives fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase shares. For the year ended October 31, 2006, FSC retained $32,911 of fees paid by the Fund.
Sales Charges
For the year ended October 31, 2006, FSC retained $615 of contingent deferred sales charges relating to redemptions of Class C Shares. See "What Do Shares Cost?" in the Prospectus.
Shareholder Services Fee
The Fund may pay fees (Service Fees) up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Institutional Shares and Class C Shares to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. For the year ended October 31, 2006, FSSC voluntarily waived $43,503 of its fee and voluntarily reimbursed $38,340 of shareholder services fees. For the year ended October 31, 2006, FSSC did not receive any fees paid by the Fund.
Expense Limitation
The Manager and its affiliates (which may include FSC and FSSC) have voluntarily agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses (including the distribution (12b-1) fee) so that the total operating expenses paid by the Fund's Institutional Shares and Class C Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 0.94% and 1.83%, respectively, for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2007. Although these actions are voluntary, the Manager and its affiliates have agreed not to terminate these waivers and/or reimbursements until after December 31, 2007.
General
Certain of the Officers and Trustees of the Fund are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.
6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds") were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. These lawsuits began to be filed shortly after Federated's first public announcement that it had received requests for information on shareholder trading activities in the Funds from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Office of the New York State Attorney General ("NYAG"), and other authorities. In that regard, on November 28, 2005, Federated announced that it had reached final settlements with the SEC and the NYAG with respect to those matters. As Federated previously reported in 2004, it has already paid approximately $8.0 million to certain funds as determined by an independent consultant. As part of these settlements, Federated agreed to pay for the benefit of fund shareholders additional disgorgement and a civil money penalty in the aggregate amount of an additional $72 million. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and intend to defend this litigation. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these lawsuits, all of which seek unquantified damages, attorneys' fees and expenses, and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.
8. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
For the year ended October 31, 2006, the amount of long-term capital gains designated by the Fund was $3,678,588.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, 100.0% of total ordinary income (including short-term capital gain) distributions made by the Fund are qualifying dividends which may be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15%, as provided for by the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Act of 2003. Complete information is reported in conjunction with the reporting of your distributions on Form 1099-DIV.
Of the ordinary income (including short-term capital gain) distributions made by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2006, 100.0% qualify for the dividend received deduction available to corporate shareholders.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED INDEX TRUST AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MINI-CAP INDEX FUND:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated Mini-Cap Index Fund (the "Fund") (one of the portfolios constituting Federated Index Trust), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2006, 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 October 31, 2006, 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 Mini-Cap Index Fund, a portfolio of Federated Index Trust at October 31, 2006, 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.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract
FEDERATED MINI-CAP INDEX FUND (THE "FUND")
The Fund's Board reviewed the Fund's investment advisory contract and subadvisory contract at meetings held in May 2006 and approved a new subadvisory contract at meetings held in August 2006. The Board's decision regarding these contracts reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements and approve a new subadvisory contract with BlackRock Investment Management, LLC ("BlackRock" or the "Subadviser"). The Fund's previous subadvisory contract (the "Previous Subadvisory Agreement") with Fund Asset Management, L.P., doing business as Mercury Advisors ("Mercury Advisors"), was automatically terminated pursuant to Section 15 of the 1940 Act in connection with a transaction on September 29, 2006 whereby Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. and BlackRock combined Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L.P. and certain affiliates, including Mercury Advisors, with BlackRock, Inc. to create a new asset management company. The new subadvisory agreement and the Previous Subadvisory Agreement are substantially similar.
Prior to the meetings, the Adviser had recommended that the Federated Funds appoint a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated Fund. The Senior Officer appointed by the Fund has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent written evaluation that covered topics discussed below, which the Board considered, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract and subadvisory contract.
During its review of these contracts, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser and Mercury Advisors, and to be received by the Subadviser. This included the fees received for services provided to the Fund by other entities in the Federated organization and research services received by the Adviser and Mercury Advisors, and to be received by the Subadviser from brokers that execute Federated fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board is also familiar with judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the adviser, including the performance of the Fund; the adviser's cost of providing the services; the extent to which the adviser may realize "economies of scale" as the Fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the adviser and its affiliates as a result of the adviser's relationship with the Fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant bearing on the adviser's services and fees. The Board further considered management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser for like services and costs to the Adviser and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit and profit margins of the Adviser and its affiliates from supplying such services. The Board was aware of these considerations and was guided by them in its review of the Fund's advisory contract and subadvisory contract to the extent they are appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.
The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by the advice of independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, the Board has requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund, the Federated organization, Mercury Advisors and the Subadviser that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise the Senior Officer's evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional reports in connection with the particular meetings at which the Board's formal review of the advisory contracts occurred. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board has received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board's consideration of the advisory contracts included review of the Senior Officer's evaluation, accompanying data and additional reports covering such matters as: the Adviser's, Mercury Advisors' and the Subadviser's investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund's short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or "peer group" funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund's investment objectives; the Fund's expenses (including the advisory fees and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund's portfolio securities (if any); the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser, Mercury Advisors and their affiliates and to be provided by the Subadviser; the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund's relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds, the Federated companies that service them, Mercury Advisors and the Subadviser (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated's, Mercury Advisors' and the Subadviser's responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board also considered information regarding the results of the Adviser's evaluation of Mercury Advisors' performance, commitment to client service and investment capabilities and its assurance that the current portfolio managers of the Fund would continue to manage the Fund as employees of BlackRock. The Board also considered the Adviser's recommendation to approve the new subadvisory agreement with BlackRock. The Board's evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.
With respect to the Fund's performance and expenses in particular, the Board has found the use of comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be particularly useful, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because, simply put, they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund's investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes. The Fund's ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was a useful indicator of how the Adviser, Mercury Advisors and the Subadviser are executing the Fund's investment program, which in turn assisted the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's, Mercury Advisors' and the Subadviser's investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract and approval of the new subadvisory contract as it is expected that the existing portfolio managers will continue to manage the Fund as employees of BlackRock. In this regard, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated's fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences included, but are not limited to targeting different investors, being subject to different laws and regulations, different legal structure, distribution costs, average account size and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be significant in determining the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory contracts.
The Senior Officer reviewed reports compiled by Federated, and directed the preparation of independent reports, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups is of significance in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.
For the periods ending December 31, 2005, the Fund's performance for the one year period was above the median of the relevant peer group, and the Fund's performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for the three year period. The Board discussed the Fund's performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and the performance of the Fund.
The Board also received financial information about Federated, including reports on the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. These reports covered not only the fees under the advisory contract, but also fees received by Federated's subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds' administrator). The reports also discussed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades 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 waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate. The Board also received financial information about Mercury Advisors and the Subadviser, as well as reports that discussed any indirect benefit Mercury Advisors or the Subadviser may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Fund trades.
Federated furnished reports, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund by fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund by fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, although they may apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs and the lack of consensus on how to allocate those costs causes such allocation reports to be of questionable value. The Board received similar revenue and cost information about the Fund from Mercury Advisors. The allocation reports were considered in the analysis by the Board but were determined to be of limited use.
The Board also reviewed profitability information for the Adviser and Mercury Advisors and other publicly held fund management companies, provided by the Senior Officer, who noted the limited availability of such information, and concluded that the Adviser's and Mercury Advisors' profit margins did not appear to be excessive.
The Senior Officer's evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of "economies of scale" as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant additional investments in the portfolio management and distribution efforts supporting all of the Federated funds and that the benefits of any economies, should they exist, were likely to be enjoyed by the fund complex as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with "breakpoints" that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size. The Senior Officer did not recommend institution of breakpoints in pricing Federated's fund advisory services at this time.
During the year ending December 31, 2005, the Fund's investment advisory fee after waivers and expense reimbursements, if any, was above the median of the relevant peer group. The Board reviewed the fees and other expenses of the Fund with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive. The Board will continue to monitor advisory fees and other expenses borne by the Fund.
No changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund's advisory contract, and the Senior Officer noted that Federated appeared to provide appropriate administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. For 2005, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates was satisfactory.
In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund's operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser's industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board's approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund.
The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract and subadvisory contracts on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board's decision to approve the contracts reflects its determination that the Adviser's and Mercury Advisors' performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements and that the expected performance of the new Subadviser, as a result of the existing portfolio managers continuing to manage the Fund as employees of BlackRock, provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to approve the new subadvisory contract.
The Senior Officer also made recommendations relating to the organization and availability of data and verification of processes for purposes of implementing future evaluations which the Adviser has agreed to implement.

provision of such services do not impair the auditor's independence. Unless a
type of service to be provided by the independent auditor has received general
pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Any
proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels will require specific
pre-approval by the Audit Committee.
Certain services have the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The
term of the general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval,
unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. The
Audit Committee will annually review the services that may be provided by the
independent auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit
Committee and may grant general pre-approval for such services. The Audit
Committee will revise the list of general pre-approved services from time to
time, based on subsequent determinations. The Audit Committee will not delegate
its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent
auditor to management.
The Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to its Chairman.
The Chairman will report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at
its next scheduled meeting. The Committee will designate another member with
such pre-approval authority when the Chairman is unavailable.
AUDIT SERVICES
The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees will be subject to the
specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee must approve
any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope,
registered investment company (RIC) structure or other matters.
In addition to the annual Audit services engagement specifically approved by the
Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval for other
Audit Services, which are those services that only the independent auditor
reasonably can provide. The Audit Committee has pre-approved certain Audit
services, all other Audit services must be specifically pre-approved by the
Audit Committee.
AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES
Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably
related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company's financial
statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. The
Audit Committee believes that the provision of Audit-related services does not
impair the independence of the auditor, and has pre-approved certain
Audit-related services, all other Audit-related services must be specifically
pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
TAX SERVICES
The Audit Committee believes that the independent auditor can provide Tax
services to the Company such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice
without impairing the auditor's independence. However, the Audit Committee will
not permit the retention of the independent auditor in connection with a
transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the purpose of
which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported
in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee has
pre-approved certain Tax services, all Tax services involving large and complex
transactions must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
ALL OTHER SERVICES
With respect to the provision of services other than audit, review or attest
services the pre-approval requirement is waived if:
(1) The aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than
five percent of the total amount of revenues paid by the registrant, the
registrant's adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily
portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another
investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under
common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services
to the registrant to its accountant during the fiscal year in which the
services are provided;
(2) Such services were not recognized by the registrant, the registrant's
adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio
management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment
adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common
control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the
registrant at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and
(3) Such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee
of the issuer and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the
Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee who are
members of the board of directors to whom authority to grant such approvals
has been delegated by the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to those permissible
non-audit services classified as All Other services that it believes are routine
and recurring services, and would not impair the independence of the auditor.
The SEC's rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the
precise definitions of prohibited non-audit services and the applicability of
exceptions to certain of the prohibitions.
PRE-APPROVAL FEE LEVELS
Pre-approval fee levels for all services to be provided by the independent
auditor will be established annually by the Audit Committee. Any proposed
services exceeding these levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit
Committee.
PROCEDURES
Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by
the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the
independent auditor and the Principal Accounting Officer and/or Internal
Auditor, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the
request or application is consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor
independence.
