Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Environment

The 12-month reporting period saw considerable volatility in interest rates, although when all was said and done rates ended only slightly higher than where they started. According to Municipal Market Data during the reporting period, the 10-year AAA muni bond yield rose from 3.72% on August 31, 2002 to 3.95% on August 31, 2003. After trading in a range from September 2002 to May 2003, rates plunged to 40-year lows in June 2003 as the yield on 10-year AAA muni bonds fell to 2.85%. Then, with the cessation of major hostilities in Iraq, the Federal Reserve Board indicating no plans for further easing of interest rates, and indications that the economy was finally picking up, rates sharply rose for the remainder of the reporting period. Rising rates were accompanied by a steepening of the curve.

The past year also saw an enormous supply of new municipal bonds. Issuance in 2002 set a record at $352 billion. The pace continued this year during the reporting period.

Municipal credit quality deteriorated during the reporting period. Across the country states and local governments saw their finances squeezed. Several years of a sluggish economy reduced revenues while expenditures remained high. Many entities have drawn down reserves and tapped into one-time revenue sources to balance their budgets. Over the last 12-month reporting period, the ratings agencies downgraded or placed on negative outlook the ratings of more than half of the states.

The California Market

The issuance of California exempt debt increased by 85% for the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2003, compared with the prior 12 months. This huge increase was due to issuance of bonds to reimburse the state for electricity purchases during the power crisis, securitization of tobacco settlements, and incremental borrowing due to lower state revenues. Throughout the reporting period, demand for California exempt bonds remained strong.

California's state finances came under severe strain during the reporting period as a combination of falling revenues and expenditure mandates pushed the budget deficit to $38 billion. The deadlocked legislature was finally able to pass a budget for fiscal year 2004 during the reporting period.

During the reporting period, as a result of the state's fiscal problems, ratings were lowered by the various rating agencies. Moody's now rates California general obligation bonds at A3, down from A1 a year ago. Standard and Poor's went from A+ to BBB, and Fitch from AA to A.

During the reporting period, California bonds were affected by its fiscal woes and huge supply of new bonds. According to Municipal Market Data, spreads on 10-year state general obligations widened by 40 basis points; other parts of the yield curve saw similar spread widening. Insured obligations of various California issuers saw spreads widen by 15 basis points. There was particular widening on obligations of issuers which are dependent upon state aid, such as hospitals and school districts.

Although still sluggish, there were signs that the California economy may be picking up. Unemployment during the reporting period was 6.6% at the end of August versus 6.7% a year ago, with the labor force growing by 150,000 over the reporting period. Real estate prices were up across the state, as much as 20% over the prior year in some markets. Personal income, which was virtually flat in 2002, was expected to rise 3.1% in 2003. Lest anyone forget, California was still the fifth-largest economy in the world, capable of generating significant wealth.

Performance

The fund's net total return over the 12-month reporting period was 1.98% for Class A Shares and 1.22% for Class B Shares at net asset value.¹ Good income and a duration somewhat shorter than its benchmark led to good performance versus its Lipper peer group, the California Municipal Debt Fund Average, which returned 1.36% for the same reporting period.²

With only a slight net increase in interest rates over the 12-month reporting period, coupon income was a prime determinant of total return. Not surprisingly, the fund's lower-rated holdings outperformed high-grades. Like the market as a whole, the fund's holdings around 5 and 15 years outperformed the rest of the yield curve.

1 Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns based on offering price (i.e., less any applicable sales charge) for Class A and Class B shares were (2.62)% and (4.13)%. Current performance information is available at our website www.federatedinvestors.com or by calling 1-800-341-7400.

2 Lipper figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all the mutual funds designated by Lipper Inc. as falling into the respective categories indicated.

During the reporting period, the fund's best performing bonds were utilities, which improved as the electricity crisis subsided, and special tax bonds, which were driven by a strong new-housing market. The fund's lagging sectors were state general obligations, which saw spreads widen as the state's finances deteriorated, and tobacco settlement bonds, which declined as a result of several court rulings which were unfavorable to cigarette manufacturers.

Strategy

The fund attempted to maximize tax exempt income within specific risk parameters.³ Incremental return is provided to the portfolio by making relative value decisions involving credit spreads, yield curve positioning, sector allocations, and appropriate bond structures (coupon and callability).

During the reporting period, our strategy has focused on improving income through the careful purchases of securities which offer wider spreads. The fund was positioned more defensively by keeping duration⁴ below its benchmark and seeking premium bonds.

3 Income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

4 Duration is a measure of a security's price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities of shorter durations.

Average Annual Total Return5 for the Period Ended 8/31/2003
1 Year	(2.62)%
5 Years	3.20%
10 Years	4.60%

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. For after-tax returns, visit www.federatedinvestors.com. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost. Mutual funds are not obligations of or guaranteed by any bank and are not federally insured.

1 Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund after deducting the maximum sales charge of 1.00% ($10,000 investment minus $100 sales charge = $9,900) which was effective on December 2, 1992. Effective December 1, 1997, the maximum sales charge has been increased to 4.50%. The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The LBMB and the LCAMDFA have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index and average. Indexes are unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.

2 The LBMB is an unmanaged index comprising bonds with a minimum credit rating of at least Baa. They must have an outstanding par value of at least $3 million and be issued as part of a transaction of at least $50 million. The index includes both zero coupon bonds and bonds subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. It is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance.

3 The LCAMDFA represents the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper, Inc. as falling into the respective category. These total returns are reported net of expenses and other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in a mutual fund's performance.

4 The Fund's investment adviser has elected to discontinue the use of the Lehman Brothers Revenue Bond Index and retain the LBMB as a benchmark index. The LBMB is representative of the securities typically held by the Fund. The Fund's investment adviser has elected to use the LCAMDFA for comparison purposes because it is more representative of the securities typically held by the Fund.

5 Total return quoted reflects all applicable sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2003

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated Municipal Securities Income 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 six portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated California Municipal Income Fund (the "Fund"), a non-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 current income exempt from federal regular income tax and the personal income taxes imposed by the state of California and California municipalities.

The Fund offers two classes of shares: Class A Shares and Class B Shares.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America.

Investment Valuation

Municipal bonds are valued by an independent pricing service, taking into consideration yield, liquidity, risk, credit quality, coupon, maturity, type of issue, and any other factors or market data the pricing service deems relevant. Short-term securities are valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Securities for which no quotations are readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees").

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

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

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal tax is necessary.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer's expense, either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Fund's restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Trustees.

Additional information on each restricted illiquid security held at August 31, 2003 is as follows:

Security	Acquisition Date	Acquisition Cost
California Statewide Communities Development Authority, Revenue Bonds, 6.50% (Turningpoint School), 11/1/2031	3/23/2001	$500,000
California Statewide Communities Development Authority, Revenue Bonds (Series 2001) 6.75% (Saint Mark's School), 6/1/2028	7/3/2001	$500,000
California Statewide Communities Development Authority, Revenue Bonds (Series 2002) 6.75% (Prospect Sierra School)/(Original Issue Yield: 6.85%, 6/1/2032	5/10/2002	$394,864

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.

Effective September 1, 2001, the Fund adopted the provisions of the revised AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies (the "Guide"). For financial statement purposes, the revised Guide requires the Fund to amortize premium and discount on all fixed income securities.

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

	As of 9/1/2001		For the Year Ended 8/31/2002
	Cost of Investments	Undistributed Net Investment Income	Net Investment Income	Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)
Increase (Decrease)	$1,178	$1,178	$1,641	$(1,641)

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

4. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

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

Transactions in shares were as follows:

Year Ended August 31	2003					2002
Class A Shares:	Shares			Amount		Shares			Amount
Shares sold	1,897,210		$	20,793,050		2,748,759		$	29,897,974

NET CHANGE RESULTING FROM SHARE TRANSACTIONS	66,861		$	696,456		1,454,372		$	15,926,421

5. 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 expiration of capital loss carryforward and discount accretion/premium amortization of debt securities. For the year ended August 31, 2003, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Paid-In Capital	Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)	Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Loss)
$(513,798)	$(1,748)	$515,546

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

The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended August 31, 2003, and 2002 was as follows:

	2003	2002
Tax-exempt income	$3,883,005	$3,489,587

As of August 31, 2003, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income	$  140,675
Unrealized appreciation	$2,561,460
Capital loss carryforward	$3,331,819

At August 31, 2003, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $83,170,542. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $2,561,460. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $3,200,789 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $639,329.

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for discount accretion/premium amortization of debt securities.

At August 31, 2003, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $3,331,819 which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire as follows:

Expiration Year	Expiration Amount
2004	$  218,330
2008	$1,047,161
2009	$  1,337,342
2010	$  166,229
2011	$  562,757

Under current tax regulations, capital losses realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. As of August 31, 2003 for federal income tax purposes, post October losses of $478,104 were deferred to September 1, 2003.

6. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated Investment Management Company, the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses of the Fund. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver and/or reimbursement at any time at its sole discretion.

Administrative Fee

Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the Administrative Services Agreement ("Agreement"), provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on the aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

0.150%	on the first $250 million
0.125%	on the next $250 million
0.100%	on the next $250 million
0.075%	on assets in excess of $750 million

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $125,000 per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class of Shares.

On August 22, 2003 the Directors'/Trustees' approved a new Agreement. Effective November 1, 2003, the fee paid to FServ will be based on the aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

Maximum Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

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

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. ("FSC"), the principal distributor, from the net assets of the Fund to finance activities intended to result in the sale of the Fund's Class A Shares and Class B Shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC.

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

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

Shareholder Services Fee

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

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

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

Portfolio Accounting Fees

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

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended August 31, 2003, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $34,000,000 and $39,400,000, respectively.

General

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

7. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations (and in-kind contributions), for the year ended August 31, 2003 were as follows:

Purchases	$	22,847,548
Sales	$	20,804,358

8. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at August 31, 2003, 49.2% of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 13.7% of total investments.

9. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

At August 31, 2003, 100% of the distributions from net investment income is exempt from federal income tax, other than the federal AMT.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Environment

The last year saw considerable volatility in interest rates, although when all was said and done rates ended only slightly higher than where they started. According to Municipal Market Data,¹ during the reporting period the 10-year AAA muni bond yield rose from 3.72% on August 31, 2002 to 3.95% on August 31, 2003. After trading in a range from September 2002 to May 2003, rates plunged to 40-year lows in June 2003 as the yield on 10-year AAA muni bonds fell to 2.85%. Then, with the cessation of major hostilities in Iraq, the Federal Reserve Board indicating no plans for further easing of interest rates, and indications that the economy was finally picking up, rates sharply rose for the remainder of the reporting period. Rising rates were accompanied by a steepening of the curve.

The past year also saw an enormous supply of new municipal bonds. Issuance in 2002 set a record at $352 billion. The pace continued this year during the reporting period.

Municipal credit quality deteriorated during the reporting period. Across the country, states and local governments saw their finances squeezed. Several years of a sluggish economy have reduced revenues while expenditures remained high. Many entities have drawn down reserves and tapped into one-time revenue sources to balance their budgets. Over the 12-month reporting period the ratings agencies downgraded or placed on negative outlook the ratings of more than half of the states.

The Michigan Market

The issuance of Michigan exempt debt increased by 13% for the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2003, compared with the prior 12 months. The demand for Michigan exempt bonds remained strong through the reporting period. Spreads on Michigan bonds widened slightly, from two to four basis points along the curve, during the reporting period.

The state addressed a $2 billion budget shortfall for fiscal year 2004, through a combination of spending cuts and revenue enhancements. The budget that was adopted called for replenishing the state's reserve funds which had been drawn down over the previous three years. Some of the state spending cuts have been passed to local entities in the form of reduced aid.

During the reporting period, the state's fiscal issues led to scrutiny of its ratings. Moody's placed Michigan's Aaa rating on negative outlook in 2001. Responding to the budget and signs of an improving economy, Moody's removed Michigan from the watchlist and confirmed its Aaa rating in July 2003. In March 2003, Standard & Poor's revised the outlook on the state's AAA rating to negative.

Michigan has diversified its economy in recent years, but remained heavily dependent upon manufacturing, particularly automobiles, during the reporting period. Michigan's unemployment rate has generally been higher than the rest of the nation, reflecting this manufacturing dependence. Michigan's economy continued to lag during the reporting period.

Performance

The fund's total return over the 12-month reporting period was 3.58%,¹ based on net asset value. Despite a volatile path, rates were not much removed from where they were a year ago. In such an environment, coupon income was a strong driver of total return, so the fund's strong income contributed to its return during the reporting period. Although the move in rates was small, rates ended the reporting period, were up so the fund's duration,² which was slightly shorter than its benchmark, was also a positive contributor to performance.

The fund's best performing sectors were industrial development bonds, which tended to provide more yield; education, which benefited from spread tightening; and water & sewer. The fund also was fortunate to have several holdings pre-refunded, which resulted in price appreciation. Lagging sectors were housing bonds, which were hurt by rising interest rates, and electric utilities.

During the reporting period the fund was a high-quality fund, with more than 80% of its holdings rated AAA or Aaa by Standard and Poor's or Moody's at the end of the reporting period. Less than 2% of the fund's holding rated below A- or A3 at the end of the reporting period.³

Strategy

The fund attempted to maximize tax exempt income within specific risk parameters.⁴ Incremental return was provided to the portfolio by making relative value decisions involving credit spreads relationships to benchmarks, yield curve positioning, sector allocations, and appropriate bond structures (coupon and callability).

In order to enhance the fund's income, the fund's strategy included selective purchases of single-A or triple-B rated securities to take advantage of wider spreads. At the same time the fund was positioned more defensively by keeping duration short to the benchmark and seeking premium coupons. The fund used interest rate swaps to help manage duration.

1 Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total return for the reporting period based on offering price (i.e., less any applicable sales charge) was 0.45%. Current performance information is available at www.federatedinvestors.com or by calling 1-800-341-7400.

2 Duration is a measure of a security's price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities of shorter durations.

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

4 Income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

GROWTH OF $10,000 INVESTMENT

The graph below illustrates the hypothetical investment of $10,000¹ in the Federated Michigan Intermediate Municipal Trust (the "Fund") from August 31, 1993 to August 31, 2003 compared to the Lehman Brothers 7-Year General Obligation Municipal Bond Index (LB7GO) and the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index (LBMB).²

Average Annual Total Return3 for the Periods Ended 8/31/2003
1 Year	0.45%
5 Years	4.27%
10 Years	4.74%
Start of Performance (9/18/1991)	5.73%

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. For after-tax returns, visit www.federatedinvestors.com. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost. Mutual funds are not obligations of or guaranteed by any bank and are not federally insured.

1 Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund after deducting the maximum sales charge of 3.00% ($10,000 investment minus $300 sales charge = $9,700). The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The LB7GO and the LBMB have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indexes.

2 The LB7GO and the LBMB are not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. These indexes are unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.

3 Total return quoted reflects all applicable sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2003

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated Municipal Securities Income 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 six portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated Michigan Intermediate Municipal Trust (the "Fund"), a non-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 current income exempt from federal regular income tax and personal income taxes imposed by the state of Michigan and Michigan municipalities.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America.

Investment Valuation

Municipal bonds are valued by an independent pricing service, taking into consideration yield, liquidity, risk, credit quality, coupon, maturity, type of issue, and any other factors or market data the pricing service deems relevant. Short-term securities are valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Investments in other open-end registered investment companies are valued at net asset value. Securities for which no quotations are readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees").

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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 tax is necessary.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

Swap Contracts

The Fund may enter into swap contracts. A swap is an exchange of cash payments between the Fund and another party, which is based on a specific financial index. The value of the swap is adjusted daily and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When a swap contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. The swap contracts entered into by the Fund are on a forward settling basis. For the year ended August 31, 2003, the Fund had a net realized gain on swap contracts of $56,000.

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

At August 31, 2003, the Fund had no open swap contracts.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

3. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

Effective September 1, 2001, the Fund adopted the provisions of the revised AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies (the "Guide"). For financial statement purposes, the revised Guide requires the Fund to amortize premium and discount on all fixed income securities as part of investment income.

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

	As of 9/1/2001		For the Year Ended 8/31/2002
	Cost of Investments	Undistributed Net Investment Income	Net Investment Income	Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)	Net Realized Gain (Loss)
Increase (Decrease)	$18,306	$18,306	$2,809	$15,037	$(17,846)

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

4. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Transactions in shares were as follows:

Year Ended August 31	2003		2002
Shares sold	5,255,610		7,806,745
Shares issued to shareholders in payment of distributions declared	195,608		150,961
Shares redeemed	(4,210,355	)	(5,624,802	)
NET CHANGE RESULTING FROM SHARE TRANSACTIONS	1,240,863		2,332,904

5. 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 discount accretion/premium amortization of debt securities.

For the year ended August 31, 2003, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)	Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses)
$(1,531)	$1,531

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

The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended August 31, 2003 and 2002 was as follows:

	2003	2002
Tax-exempt income	$5,757,724	$5,361,663

As of August 31, 2003, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income	$	277,460
Unrealized appreciation		6,492,430
Capital loss carryforward		901,863

At August 31, 2003, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $139,262,205. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $6,492,430. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $6,719,166 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $226,736.

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for discount accretion/premium amortization of debt securities.

At August 31, 2003 the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $901,863 which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire as follows:

Expiration Year	Expiration Amount
2004	$  95,081
2008	804,301
2009	2,481

6. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated Investment Management Company, the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Administrative Fee

Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the Administrative Services Agreement ("Agreement"), provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on the aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

Maximum Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $250 million
0.125%	on the next $250 million
0.100%	on the next $250 million
0.075%	on assets in excess of $750 million

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $125,000 per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class of Shares.

On August 22, 2003 the Directors'/Trustees' approved a new Agreement. Effective November 1, 2003, the fee paid to FServ will be based on the aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

Maximum Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares.

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

Shareholder Services Fee

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

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

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

Portfolio Accounting Fees

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

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended August 31, 2003, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $56,500,000 and $56,900,000 respectively.

General

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

7. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations (and in-kind contributions), for the year ended August 31, 2003, were as follows:

Purchases	$	36,622,952
Sales	$	20,443,181

8. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at August 31, 2003, 45.6% of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 15.4% of total investments.

9. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

At August 31, 2003, 100% of the distributions from net investment income is exempt from federal income tax, other than the federal AMT.

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2003, the results of its operations, for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

An elevated level of market volatility existed during the reporting period that was driven by conflicting economic reports and continuing geopolitical risk. The Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") reduced the federal funds target rate by 25 basis points to a 45-year low on June 25, 2003. Labor market weakness continued to be a major concern. However, an accelerated money supply, tax cuts, low interest rates, a declining dollar and the start of the presidential election cycle began to provide a stimulus to the U.S. economy. The bond market rallied after the May 2003 Fed meeting with the ten-year Treasury bond yield declining by approximately 80 basis points to a cycle low of 3.11%. The Fed's apparent concerns about deflation and the potential for additional reductions in the federal funds target rate, combined with the possibility of non-traditional Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) intervention (buying of notes and bonds in the open market), drove interest rates to unsustainable lows. After the June 2003 Fed meeting it became apparent that U.S. economic growth was picking up momentum and the possibility of FOMC non-traditional intervention was overstated. The ten-year Treasury bond yield then rose over 140 basis points as the market adjusted to the prospects of faster economic growth and possibly the end of the Fed's easing cycle. Municipal bond yields moved in sympathy with the treasury market. The yields on five-, ten- and thirty-year maturity municipal bonds, as represented by Municipal Market Data, AAA yields, increased by 8 basis points, 38 basis points and 20 basis points, respectively, over the reporting period. Credit downgrades and negative outlooks continued by the major credit rating agencies as municipal credit quality continued to be under pressure. Municipal governments continued the process of balancing reduced tax revenues with spending needs. In the fiscal year during the reporting period, 30 states have missed their revenue targets which has led to additional spread widening among general obligation debt issuers.

The New York Market

During the reporting period, due to the high tax rate on unearned income and the large concentration of wealth within the state, the demand for New York exempt bonds remains strong. New York State was late in passing the coming fiscal year's budget due to a political struggle over taxes and spending priorities between the governor and the state legislature. The state legislature ended up overriding the Governor's veto and reinstalling a number of spending items.

Performance

Attributes of the portfolio that contributed positive incremental return during the reporting period included positioning in higher credit quality (A or better) securities and sector selection. The portfolio's overweight position in Healthcare and underweight position in general obligation debt added positive incremental return during the reporting period. The portfolio attributes that contributed to relative underperformance were yield curve positioning and duration. The Fund's duration was shorter than the peer group and had a negative impact as interest rates, in general, declined during the reporting period.

Strategy

During the reporting period, investment strategy integrated management's views on both the interest rate and credit cycle. Income was the primary driver of total return. Strategy focused on making selective purchases of lower investment grade (BBB, A) credits. Credit spreads were enough to provide attractive potential returns. Revenue bonds with dedicated revenue streams were emphasized while exposure to general obligation and insured municipal debt was reduced. Premium coupons were being emphasized because of their lower volatility and sensitivity to changes in interest rates as a result of the income cushion they provide. The fund maintained a neutral duration¹ target relative to its benchmark.

1 Duration is the measure of a security's price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities of shorter durations.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on the redemption of Fund shares. For after-tax returns, visit www.federatedinvestors.com. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost. Mutual funds are not obligations of or guaranteed by any bank and are not federally insured.

1 Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund after deducting the maximum sales charge of 4.50% ($10,000 investment minus $450 sales charge = $9,550). The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The LBMB and LNYMDFA have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index and average. Indexes are unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.

2 The LBMB is an unmanaged index comprising bonds with a minimum credit rating of at least Baa. They must have an outstanding par value of at least $3 million and be issued as part of a transaction of at least $50 million. The index includes both zero coupon bonds and bonds subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. It is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance.

3 The LNYMDFA represents the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper, Inc. as falling into the respective category. These total returns are reported net of expenses and other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in a mutual fund's performance.

4 The Fund's investment adviser has elected to discontinue the use of the Lehman Brothers Revenue Bond Index and retain the LBMB as a benchmark index. The LBMB is representative of the securities typically held by the Fund. The Fund's investment adviser has elected to use the LNYMDFA for comparison purposes because it is more representative of the securities typically held by the Fund.

5 Total return quoted reflects all applicable sales charges.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2003

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated Municipal Securities Income 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 six portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated New York Municipal Income Fund (the "Fund"), a non-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 current income exempt from federal regular income tax (federal regular income tax does not include the federal AMT) and the personal income taxes imposed by the state of New York and New York municipalities. Effective September 5, 2002, the Fund added Class B Shares.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America.

Investment Valuation

Municipal bonds are valued by an independent pricing service, taking into consideration yield, liquidity, risk, credit quality, coupon, maturity, type of issue, and any other factors or market data the pricing service deems relevant. Short-term securities are valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Securities for which no quotations are readily available are valued at fair values as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees").

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

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

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal tax is necessary.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer's expense either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Fund's restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Trustees.

Swap Contracts

The Fund may enter into swap contracts. A swap is an exchange of cash payments between the Fund and another party, which is based on a specific financial index. The value of the swap is adjusted daily and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When a swap contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. The swap contracts entered into by the Fund are on a forward settling basis. For the year ended August 31, 2003, the Fund had no realized gains or losses on swap contracts.

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

At August 31, 2003, the Fund had the following open swap contract:

Expiration	Notional Principal Amount	Swap Contract Fixed Rate	Current Market Fixed Rate	Unrealized Appreciation
7/1/2014	$3,000,000	3.91% Fixed	3.98%	$67,972

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

3. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

Effective September 1, 2001, the Fund adopted the provisions of the revised AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies (the "Guide"). For financial statement purposes, the revised Guide requires the Fund to amortize premium and discount on all fixed income securities as part of investment income.

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

The cumulative effect to the Fund resulting from the adoption of premium and discount amortization as part of investment income on the financial statements is as follows:

	As of 9/1/2001		For the Year Ended 8/31/2002
	Cost of Investments	Undistributed Net Investment Income	Net Investment Income	Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)
Increase (Decrease)	$1,612	$1,612	$396	$(396)

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

4. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Transactions in shares were as follows:

Year Ended August 31	2003					2002
Class A Shares:	Shares		Amount			Shares		Amount
Shares sold	1,017,750		$	10,815,492		634,392		$	6,645,274
Shares issued to shareholders in payment of distributions declared	36,996			391,735		35,641			373,506
Shares redeemed	(716,057	)		(7,607,396	)	(583,124	)		(6,108,276	)
NET CHANGE RESULTING FROM CLASS A SHARE TRANSACTIONS	338,689		$	3,599,831		86,909		$	910,504

NET CHANGE RESULTING FROM SHARE TRANSACTIONS	2,159,021		$	22,979,930		86,909		$	910,504

1 Reflects operations for the period from September 5, 2002 (date of initial public investment) to August 31, 2003.

5. 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 discount accretion/premium amortization of debt securities.

For the year ended August 31, 2003, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)	Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Loss)
$(444)	$444

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

The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended August 31, 2003 and 2002 was as follows:

	2003	2002
Tax-exempt income	$1,365,935	$1,095,385

As of August 31, 2003, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income	$  74,784
Unrealized appreciation	$  170,075
Capital loss carryforward	$1,221,992

At August 31, 2003, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $45,317,422. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $102,103. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $956,959 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $854,856.

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for discount accretion/premium amortization of debt securities.

At August 31, 2003, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $1,221,992, which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire as follows:

Expiration Year	Expiration Amount
2004	$561,294
2008	$288,795
2011	$371,903

6. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated Investment Management Company, the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses of the Fund. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver and/or reimbursement at any time at its sole discretion.

Administrative Fee

Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the Administrative Services Agreement ("Agreement"), provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on the aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

Maximum Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $250 million
0.125%	on the next $250 million
0.100%	on the next $250 million
0.075%	on assets in excess of $750 million

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $125,000 per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class of Shares.

On August 22, 2003 the Directors'/Trustees' approved a new Agreement. Effective November 1, 2003, the fee paid to FServ will be based on the aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

Maximum Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares.

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

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. ("FSC"), the principal distributor, from the net assets of the Fund to finance activities intended to result in the sale of the Fund's Class A and Class B Shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses according to the following schedule, annually, to compensate FSC.

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

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

Shareholder Services Fee

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

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

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

Portfolio Accounting Fees

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

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended August 31, 2003, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $31,553,810 and $24,700,000, respectively.

General

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

7. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations (and in-kind contributions), for the year ended August 31, 2003, were as follows:

Purchases	$	24,714,572
Sales	$	2,336,850

8. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at August 31, 2003, 47.8% of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 11.1% of total investments.

Independent Auditors' Report

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED MUNICIPAL SECURITIES INCOME TRUST AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED NEW YORK MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Federated New York Municipal Income Fund (the "Fund") (a portfolio of the Federated Municipal Securities Income Trust) as of August 31, 2003, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the 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 audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to provide reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of the securities owned at August 31, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2003, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1 On July 23, 1999, the CCB North Carolina Municipal Securities Fund was reorganized as a portfolio of Federated Municipal Securities Income Trust and was renamed Federated North Carolina Municipal Income Fund. In addition, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from May 31 to August 31.

2 Beginning with the three months ended August 31, 1999, the Fund was audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP. The previous year was audited by other auditors.

3 Effective September 1, 2001, the Fund adopted the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began accreting discount/amortizing premium on long-term debt securities. For the year ended August 31, 2002, this change had no effect on the net investment income per share or net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments per share, but increased the ratio of net investment income to average net assets from 4.61% to 4.62%. Per share, ratios and supplemental data for the periods prior to September 1, 2001 have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

An elevated level of market volatility existed during the reporting period that was driven by conflicting economic reports and continuing geopolitical risk. The Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") reduced the federal funds target rate by 25 basis points to a 45-year low on June 25, 2003. Labor market weakness continued to be a major concern. However, an accelerated money supply, tax cuts, low interest rates, a declining dollar and the start of the presidential election cycle began to provide a stimulus to the U.S. economy. The bond market rallied after the May 2003 Fed meeting with the ten-year Treasury bond yield declining by approximately 80 basis points to a cycle low of 3.11%. The Fed's apparent concerns about deflation and the potential for additional reductions in the federal funds target rate, combined with the possibility of non-traditional Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) intervention (buying of notes and bonds in the open market), drove interest rates to unsustainable lows. After the June 2003 Fed meeting it became apparent that U.S. economic growth was picking up momentum and the possibility of FOMC non-traditional intervention was overstated. The ten-year Treasury bond yield then rose over 140 basis points as the market adjusted to the prospects of faster economic growth and possibly the end of the Fed's easing cycle. Municipal bond yields moved in sympathy with the treasury market. The yields on five-, ten-and thirty-year maturity municipal bonds, as represented by Municipal Market Data AAA yields, increased by 8 basis points, 38 basis points and 20 basis points, respectively, over the reporting period. Credit downgrades and negative outlooks continued by the major credit rating agencies as municipal credit quality continued to be under pressure. Municipal governments continued the process of balancing reduced tax revenues with spending needs. In the fiscal year during the reporting period 30 states have missed their revenue targets, which has led to additional spread widening among general obligation debt issuers.

PERFORMANCE

During the reporting period the fund outperformed its peers in the Lipper North Carolina Municipal Fund category. As of August 31, 2003 the Fund's Class A Shares ranked 7/26 funds for the one-year period, 3/24 funds for the five-year period, and 4/12 funds for the ten-year period in the Lipper North Carolina Municipal Fund category, with a 12-month return of 2.93% based on net asset value (NAV) versus 2.43% for the peer group.¹ The Fund outpaced its peer average by having a greater percentage in higher rated securities and a neutral portfolio duration.² The fund's 30-day current net yield, or SEC yield, based on NAV, was 4.14% and 3.95% based on offering price, on August 31, 2003.³ This represented a taxable equivalent yield of 6.96% based on maximum combined state and federal rates for an investor in the 43.25% federal income tax bracket.

Strategy

During the reporting period, investment strategy integrated management's views on both the interest rate and credit cycle. Income was the primary driver of total return. Strategy focused on making selective purchases of lower investment grade (BBB, A) credits.⁴ Credit spreads were wide enough to provide attractive potential returns. Revenue bonds with dedicated revenue streams were emphasized while exposure to general obligation and insured municipal debt was reduced. Premium coupons were being emphasized because of their lower volatility and sensitivity to changes in interest rates as a result of the income cushion they provide. The fund maintained a neutral duration target relative to its benchmark.

1 Lipper rankings are based on total return and do not take sales charges into account. Lipper figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all the mutual funds designated by Lipper, Inc. as falling into the respective categories indicated.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total return for the period, based on offering price (i.e. less any applicable sales charge), for Class A Shares was (1.69%). Current performance information is available at our website www.federatedinvestors.com or by calling 1-800-341-7400.

2 Duration is a measure of a security's price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities of shorter durations.

3 The 30-day current SEC yield is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share for the 30 days ended on the date of calculation by the maximum offering price per share on that date. The figure is compounded and annualized.

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

Income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

1 Federated North Carolina Municipal Income Fund is the successor to CCB North Carolina Municipal Securities Fund. The quoted performance data includes performance of the CCB North Carolina Municipal Securities Fund for the period from July 22, 1992 when the CCB North Carolina Municipal Securities Fund first commenced operations, to July 23, 1999, as adjusted to reflect the Fund's expenses.

2 Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund after deducting the maximum sales charge of 4.50% ($10,000 investment minus $450 sales charge = $9,550). The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The LBMB and the LNCMDFA have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index and the average. Indexes are unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.

3 The LBMB is an unmanaged index comprising bonds with a minimum credit rating of at least Baa. They must have an outstanding par value of at least $3 million and be issued as part of a transaction of at least $50 million. The index includes both zero coupon bonds and bonds subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. It is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance.

4 The LNCMDFA represents the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper, Inc. as falling into the respective category. These total returns are reported net of expenses and other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in a mutual fund's performance.

5 Total return quoted reflects all applicable sales charges.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2003

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated Municipal Securities Income 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 six portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated North Carolina Municipal Income Fund (the "Fund"), a non-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 current income exempt from federal regular income tax and the personal income taxes imposed by the state of North Carolina. Interest from the Fund's investments may be subject to the federal AMT for individuals and corporations.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America.

Investment Valuation

Municipal bonds are valued by an independent pricing service, taking into consideration yield, liquidity, risk, credit quality, coupon, maturity, type of issue and any other factors or market data the pricing service deems relevant. Short-term securities are valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Securities for which no quotations are readily available are valued at fair values as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees").

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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 tax is necessary.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

Futures Contracts

The Fund purchases index financial futures contracts to manage cashflows, enhance yield, and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into an index financial 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. For the year ended August 31, 2003, the Fund had realized gains of $77,601 on futures contracts.

Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.

At August 31, 2003, the Fund had no outstanding futures contracts.

Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer's expense either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Fund's restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Trustees.

Swap Contracts

The Fund may enter into swap contracts. A swap is an exchange of cash payments between the Fund and another party, which is based on a specific financial index. The value of the swap is adjusted daily and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When a swap contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. The swap contracts entered into by the Fund are on a forward settling basis. For the year ended August 31, 2003, the Fund had realized gains on swap contracts of $15,000.

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

At August 31, 2003, the Fund had the following open swap contract:

Expiration	Notional Principal Amount	Swap Contract Fixed Rate	Current Market Fixed Rate	Unrealized Appreciation
4/25/2014	$7,500,000	4.08% Fixed	3.97%	$67,450

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

3. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

Effective September 1, 2001, the Fund adopted the provisions of the revised AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies (the "Guide"). For financial statement purposes, the revised Guide requires the Fund to amortize premium and discount on all fixed income securities as part of investment income.

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

	As of 9/1/2001		For the Year Ended 8/31/2002
	Cost of Investments	Undistributed Net Investment Income	Undistributed Net Investment Income	Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)	Net Realized Gain (Loss)

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

4. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Transactions in shares were as follows:

Year Ended August 31	2003		2002
Shares sold	3,537,083		1,036,377
Shares issued to shareholders in payment of distributions declared	101,455		48,170
Shares redeemed	(1,077,793	)	(392,939	)
NET CHANGE RESULTING FROM SHARE TRANSACTIONS	2,560,745		691,608

5. 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 discount accretion/premium amortization of debt securities.

For the year ended August 31, 2003, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)	Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Loss)
$(2,017)	$2,017

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

The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended August 31, 2003 and 2002 was as follows:

	2003	2002
Tax-exempt income	$2,934,354	$2,278,334

As of August 31, 2003, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income	$  163,792
Unrealized appreciation	$1,881,048
Capital loss carryforward	$  332,559

At August 31, 2003, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes amounts to $79,376,160. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $1,813,598. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $2,608,360 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $794,762.

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for discount accretion/premium amortization of debt securities.

At August 31, 2003, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $332,559, which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire in 2008.

Under current tax regulations, capital losses realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. As of August 31, 2003, for federal income tax purposes, post October losses of $315,608 were deferred to September 1, 2003.

6. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated Investment Management Company, the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Administrative Fee

Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the Administrative Services Agreement ("Agreement"), provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on the aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

Maximum Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $250 million
0.125%	on the next $250 million
0.100%	on the next $250 million
0.075%	on assets in excess of $750 million

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $125,000 per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class of Shares.

On August 22, 2003 the Directors'/Trustees' approved a new Agreement. Effective November 1, 2003, the fee paid to FServ will be based on the aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

Maximum Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares.

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

Distribution Services Fee

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

Shareholder Services Fee

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

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

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

Portfolio Accounting Fees

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

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended August 31, 2003, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $39,761,810 and $38,255,000, respectively.

General

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

7. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations (and in-kind contributions), for the year ended August 31, 2003, were as follows:

Purchases	$37,539,306
Sales	$10,135,260

8. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at August 31, 2003, 50.2% of the securities in the portfolio of investments were backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 22.1% of total investments.

9. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

At August 31, 2003, 100% of the distributions from net investment income is exempt from federal income tax, other than the federal AMT.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

An elevated level of market volatility existed during the reporting period that was driven by conflicting economic reports and continuing geopolitical risk. The Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") reduced the federal funds target rate by 25 basis points to a 45-year low on June 25, 2003. Labor market weakness continued to be a major concern. However, an accelerated money supply, tax cuts, low interest rates, a declining dollar and the start of the presidential election cycle began to provide a stimulus to the U.S. economy. The bond market rallied after the May 2003 Fed meeting with the ten-year Treasury bond yield declining by approximately 80 basis points to a cycle low of 3.11%. The Fed's apparent concerns about deflation and the potential for additional reductions in the federal funds target rate, combined with the possibility of non-traditional Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) intervention (buying of notes and bonds in the open market), drove interest rates to unsustainable lows. After the June 2003 Fed meeting it became apparent that U.S. economic growth was picking up momentum and the possibility of FOMC non-traditional intervention was overstated. The ten-year Treasury bond yield then rose over 140 basis points as the market adjusted to the prospects of faster economic growth and possibly the end of the Fed's easing cycle. Municipal bond yields moved in sympathy with the treasury market. The yields on five-, ten- and thirty-year maturity municipal bonds, as represented by Municipal Market Data AAA yields, increased by 8 basis points, 38 basis points and 20 basis points, respectively, over the reporting period. Credit downgrades and negative outlooks continued by the major credit rating agencies as municipal credit quality continued to be under pressure. Municipal governments continued the process of balancing reduced tax revenues with spending needs. In the fiscal year during the reporting cycle 30 states missed their revenue targets, which led to additional spread widening among general obligation debt issuers.

The Ohio Market

During the reporting period, the demand for Ohio exempt bonds remained strong. Ohio continued to be heavily dependent on the automobile and related industries. The state of Ohio and local general obligation issuers, such as school districts, cities and counties suffered from credit deterioration as sales tax and personal income tax revenues declined as a result of the economic downturn. Both Moody's and Standard and Poor's placed the state of Ohio's credit ratings on negative watch.

Performance

Attributes of the portfolio that contributed positive incremental return during the reporting period included yield curve positioning in long intermediate maturities and sector selection. The portfolio's overweight position in Healthcare and underweight position in general obligation debt added positive incremental return during the reporting period. The portfolio attribute that contributed to relative underperformance was duration.¹ The fund's duration was neutral relative to the peer group and limited the positive contribution as interest rates, in general, declined over the reporting period.

Strategy

During the reporting period, investment strategy integrated management's views on both the interest rate and credit cycle. Income was the primary driver of total return. Strategy focused on making selective purchases of lower investment grade (BBB, A) credits. Credit spreads were wide enough to provide attractive potential returns. Revenue bonds with dedicated revenue streams were emphasized while exposure to general obligation and insured municipal debt was reduced. Premium coupons were emphasized because of their lower volatility and sensitivity to changes in interest rates as a result of the income cushion they provide. The fund maintained a neutral duration target relative to its benchmark.

1 Duration is a measure of a security's price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities of shorter durations.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

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

GROWTH OF $10,000 INVESTMENT -- CLASS F SHARES

The graph below illustrates the hypothetical investment of $10,000¹ in the Federated Ohio Municipal Income Fund (Class F Shares) (the "Fund") from August 31, 1993 to August 31, 2003, compared to the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index (LBMB)² and the Lipper Ohio Municipal Debt Funds Average (LOMDFA).^3,4

Average Annual Total Return5 for the Periods Ended 8/31/2003
1 Year	1.13%
5 Years	3.82%
10 Years	4.79%
Start of Performance (10/12/1990)	6.29%

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on the redemption of Fund shares. For after-tax returns, visit www.federatedinvestors.com. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost. Mutual funds are not obligations of or guaranteed by any bank and are not federally insured.

1 Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund after deducting the maximum sales charge of 1.00% ($10,000 investment minus $100 sales charge = $9,900). The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The LBMB and the LOMDFA have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index and average. Indexes are unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.

2 The LBMB is an unmanaged index comprising bonds with a minimum credit rating of at least Baa. They must have an outstanding par value of at least $3 million and be issued as part of a transaction of at least $50 million. The index includes both zero coupon bonds and bonds subject to the alternative minimum tax. It is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance.

3 The LOMDFA represents the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper, Inc. as falling into the respective category. These total returns are reported net of expenses and other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in a mutual fund's performance.

4 The Fund's investment adviser has elected to discontinue the use of the Lehman Brothers Revenue Bond Index and retain the LBMB as a benchmark index. The LBMB is representative of the securities typically held by the Fund. The Fund's investment adviser has elected to use the LOMDFA for comparison purposes because it is more representative of the securities typically held by the Fund.

5 Total return quoted reflects all applicable sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2003

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated Municipal Securities Income 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 six portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated Ohio Municipal Income Fund (the "Fund"), a non-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 current income exempt from federal regular income tax (federal regular income tax does not include the federal AMT) and the personal income taxes imposed by the State of Ohio and Ohio municipalities. The Fund offers one class of Shares: Class F Shares.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America.

Investment Valuation

Municipal bonds are valued by an independent pricing service, taking into consideration yield, liquidity, risk, credit quality, coupon, maturity, type of issue, and any other factors or market data the pricing service deems relevant. Short-term securities are valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Securities for which no quotations are readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees").

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal tax is necessary.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer's expense either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Fund's restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Trustees.

Swap Contracts

The Fund may enter into swap contracts. A swap is an exchange of cash payments between the Fund and another party, which is based on a specific financial index. The value of the swap is adjusted daily and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When a swap contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. The swap contracts entered into by the Fund are on a forward settling basis. For the year ended August 31, 2003, the Fund had no realized gain on swap contracts.

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

At August 31, 2003, the Fund has the following open swap contract:

Expiration	Notional Principal Amount	Swap Contract Fixed Rate	Current Market Fixed Rate	Unrealized Appreciation
7/24/2013	$7,500,000	3.81% Fixed	3.90%	$179,789

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

3. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

Effective September 1, 2001, the Fund adopted the provisions of the revised AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies (the "Guide"). For financial statement purposes, the revised Guide requires the Fund to amortize premium and discount on all fixed income securities as part of investment income.

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

	As of 9/1/2001		For the Year Ended 8/31/2002
	Cost of Investments	Undistributed Net Investment Income	Net Investment Income	Net Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)
Increase (Decrease)	$28,634	$28,634	$7,755	$(7,755)

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

4. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Transactions in shares were as follows:

Year Ended August 31	2003		2002
Shares sold	1,736,443		1,725,117
Shares issued to shareholders in payment of distributions declared	170,484		146,302
Shares redeemed	(1,210,128	)	(677,214	)
NET CHANGE RESULTING FROM SHARE TRANSACTIONS	696,799		1,194,205

5. 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 discount accretion/premium amortization of debt securities. For the year ended August 31, 2003, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)	Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses)
$(6,838)	$6,838

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

The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended August 31, 2003, and 2002 was as follows:

	2003	2002
Tax-exempt income	$4,339,690	$3,852,691

As of August 31, 2003, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income	$  344,445
Unrealized appreciation	$3,309,879
Capital loss carryforward	$1,450,426

At August 31, 2003, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $94,096,968. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $3,130,090. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $3,882,252 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $752,162.

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for discount accretion/premium amortization of debt securities.

At August 31, 2003 the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $1,450,426 which will reduce the Fund's net taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire as follows:

Expiration Year	Expiration Amount
2008	$695,145
2009	$598,494
2010	$ 69,375
2011	$  87,412

6. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated Investment Management Company, the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Maximum Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $250 million
0.125%	on the next $250 million
0.100%	on the next $250 million
0.075%	on assets in excess of $750 million

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $125,000 per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class of Shares.

On August 22, 2003 the Directors'/Trustees' approved a new Agreement. Effective November 1, 2003, the fee paid to FServ will be based on the aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

Maximum Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

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

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. ("FSC"), the principal distributor, from the net assets of the Fund to finance activities intended to result in the sale of the Fund's shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses up to 0.40% of the average daily net assets of the Fund, annually, to compensate FSC. FSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Shareholder Services Fee

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

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expense

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

Portfolio Accounting Fees

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

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended August 31, 2003, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $33,800,000 and $30,550,000, respectively.

General

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

7. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations (and in-kind contributions), for the year ended August 31, 2003, were as follows:

Purchases	$	21,926,145
Sales	$	11,575,630

8. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at August 31, 2003, 46.7% of the securities in the portfolio of investments is backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 15.0% of total investments.

9. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

At August 31, 2003, 100% of the distributions from net investment income is exempt from federal income tax, other than the federal AMT.

Independent Auditors' Report

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED MUNICIPAL SECURITIES INCOME TRUST AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED OHIO MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Federated Ohio Municipal Income Fund (the "Fund") (a portfolio of the Federated Municipal Securities Income Trust) as of August 31, 2003, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for the 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to provide reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of the securities owned at August 31, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2003, the results of its operations, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

An elevated level of market volatility existed during the reporting period that was driven by conflicting economic reports and continuing geopolitical risk. The Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") reduced the federal funds target rate by 25 basis points to a 45-year low on June 25, 2003. Labor market weakness continued to be a major concern. However, an accelerated money supply, tax cuts, low interest rates, a declining dollar and the start of the presidential election cycle began to provide a stimulus to the U.S. economy. The bond market rallied after the May 2003 Fed meeting with the ten-year Treasury bond yield declining by approximately 80 basis points to a cycle low of 3.11%. The Fed's apparent concerns about deflation and the potential for additional reductions in the federal funds target rate, combined with the possibility of non-traditional Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) intervention (buying of notes and bonds in the open market), drove interest rates to unsustainable lows. After the June 2003 Fed meeting it became apparent that U.S. economic growth was picking up momentum and the possibility of FOMC non-traditional intervention was overstated. The ten-year Treasury bond yield then rose over 140 basis points as the market adjusted to the prospects of faster economic growth and possibly the end of the Fed's easing cycle. Municipal bond yields moved in line with the treasury market. The yields on five-, ten- and thirty-year maturity municipal bonds, as represented by Municipal Market Data AAA yields, increased by 8 basis points, 38 basis points and 20 basis points, respectively, over the reporting period. Credit downgrades and negative outlooks continued by the major credit rating agencies as municipal credit quality continued to be under pressure. Municipal governments continued the process of balancing reduced tax revenues with spending needs. In the fiscal year during the reporting period, 30 states missed their revenue targets, which led to additional spread widening among general obligation debt issuers.

The Pennsylvania Market

During the reporting period, the demand for Pennsylvania exempt bonds remained strong and contributed to solid relative price performance. Pennsylvania continued to become a more diversified regional economy that is less reliant on manufacturing. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and local general obligation issuers, such as school districts, cities and counties, suffered from credit deterioration as sales tax and personal income tax revenues declined.

PERFORMANCE

Attributes of the portfolio that contributed positive incremental return over the reporting period included yield curve positioning and sector selection. The portfolio's positioning in longer intermediate maturities and overweight in Healthcare and underweight in general obligation debt added positive incremental return during the reporting period. The portfolio attribute that contributed to relative underperformance was security selection. Several positions in the portfolio experienced credit deterioration over the reporting period and the credit exposure was either reduced or eliminated.

STRATEGY

Investment strategy integrated management's views on both the interest rate and credit cycle. Income was the primary driver of total return. Strategy was focused on making selective purchases of lower investment grade (BBB, A) credits. Credit spreads are wide enough to provide attractive potential returns going forward. Revenue bonds with dedicated revenue streams are being emphasized while exposure to general obligation and insured municipal debt is being reduced. Premium coupons are being emphasized because of their lower volatility and sensitivity to changes in interest rates as a result of the income cushion they provide. The fund maintained a neutral duration¹ target relative to its benchmark.

1 Duration is the measure of a security's price sensitivity to changes in the interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities of shorter durations.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on the redemption of Fund shares. For after-tax returns, visit www.federatedinvestors.com. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost. Mutual funds are not obligations of or guaranteed by any bank and are not federally insured.

1 Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund after deducting the maximum sales charge of 3.00% ($10,000 investment minus $300 sales charge = $9,700) that was effective prior to November 1, 1996. Effective November 1, 1996, the maximum sales charge has been increased to 4.50%. The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The LBMB and the LPMDFA have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index and average. Indexes are unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.

2 The LBMB is an unmanaged index comprising bonds with a minimum credit rating of at least Baa. They must have an outstanding par value of at least $3 million and be issued as part of a transaction of at least $50 million. The index includes both zero coupon bonds and bonds subject to the alternative minimum tax. It is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance.

3 The LPMDFA represents the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper, Inc. as falling into the respective category. These total returns are reported net of expenses and other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in a mutual fund's performance.

4 The Fund's investment adviser has elected to discontinue the use of the Lehman Brothers Revenue Bond Index and retain the LBMB as a benchmark index. The LBMB is representative of the securities typically held by the Fund. The Fund's investment adviser has elected to use the LPMDFA for comparison purposes because it is more representative of the securities typically held by the Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2003

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated Municipal Securities Income 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 six portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated Pennsylvania Municipal Income Fund (the "Fund"), a non-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 current income exempt from federal regular income tax (federal regular income tax does not include the federal AMT) and the personal income taxes imposed by the state of Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania municipalities. The Fund offers two classes of shares: Class A Shares and Class B Shares.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America.

Investment Valuation

Municipal bonds are valued by an independent pricing service, taking into consideration yield, liquidity, risk, credit quality, coupon, maturity, type of issue, and any other factors or market data the pricing service deems relevant. Short-term securities are valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Securities for which no quotations are readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees").

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

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

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal tax is necessary.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer's expense either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Fund's restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Trustees.

Swap Contracts

The Fund may enter into swap contracts. A swap is an exchange of cash payments between the Fund and another party, which is based on a specific financial index. The value of the swap is adjusted daily and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When a swap contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. The swap contracts entered into by the Fund are on a forward settling basis. For the year ended August 31, 2003, the Fund had realized losses on swap contracts of $180,000.

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

At August 31, 2003, the Fund has the following open swap contract:

Expiration	Notional Principal Amount	Swap Contract Fixed Rate	Current Market Fixed Rate	Unrealized Appreciation
4/28/2014	$25,000,000	4.08% Fixed	3.97%	$224,832

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

3. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

Effective September 1, 2001, the Fund adopted the provisions of the revised AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies (the "Guide"). For financial statement purposes, the revised Guide requires the Fund to amortize premium and discount on all fixed income securities as part of investment income.

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

	As of 9/01/2001		For the Year Ended 8/31/2002
	Cost of Investments	Undistributed Net Investment Income	Net Investment Income	Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)	Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss)
Increase (Decrease)	$62,015	$62,015	$10,199	$12,875	$(23,074	)

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

4. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

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

Transactions in shares were as follows:

Year Ended August 31	2003					2002
Class A Shares:	Shares			Amount		Shares			Amount
Shares sold	4,978,863		$	58,514,269		3,061,112		$	35,087,765
Shares issued to shareholders in payment of distributions declared	417,027			4,887,159		435,623			4,971,735
Shares redeemed	(4,697,457	)		(54,935,845	)	(2,776,353	)		(31,698,740	)
NET CHANGE RESULTING FROM CLASS A SHARE TRANSACTIONS	698,433		$	8,465,583		720,382		$	8,360,760

Shares redeemed	(1,146,167	)		(13,427,054	)	(615,685	)		(7,041,435	)
NET CHANGE RESULTING FROM CLASS B SHARE TRANSACTIONS	855,995			$10,170,023		791,588			$9,072,290
NET CHANGE RESULTING FROM SHARE TRANSACTIONS	1,554,428		$	18,635,606		1,511,970		$	17,433,050

5. 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 discount accretion/premium amortization of debt securities. For the year ended August 31, 2003, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)	Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses)
$(8,530)	$8,530

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

The tax character of distributions reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended August 31, 2003 and 2002, was as follows:

		2003		2002
Tax-exempt income	$	12,573,957	$	11,948,793

As of August 31, 2003, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income	$	815,856
Unrealized appreciation	$	8,501,245
Capital loss carryforward	$	6,146,188

At August 31, 2003, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $269,896,565. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $8,276,413. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $12,893,861 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $4,617,448.

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for discount accretion/premium amortization of debt securities.

At August 31, 2003 the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $6,146,188, which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire as follows:

Expiration Year	Expiration Amount
2008	$ 1,170,431
2009	$2,804,527
2010	$2,171,230

6. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated Investment Management Company, the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Administrative Fee

Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the Administrative Services Agreement ("Agreement"), provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on the aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

Maximum Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $250 million
0.125%	on the next $250 million
0.100%	on the next $250 million
0.075%	on assets in excess of $750 million

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $125,000 per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class of Shares.

On August 22, 2003 the Directors'/Trustees' approved a new Agreement. Effective November 1, 2003, the fee paid to FServ will be based on the aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

Maximum Administrative Fee	Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares.

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

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp., ("FSC"), the principal distributor, from the net assets of the Fund to finance activities intended to result in the sale of the Fund's Class A and Class B Shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC.

Share Class Name	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A	0.40%
Class B	0.75%

Class A Shares did not incur a distribution services fee for the year ended August 31, 2003. FSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Shareholder Services Fee

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

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

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

Portfolio Accounting Fee

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

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended August 31, 2003, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $88,090,000 and $92,670,000, respectively.

General

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

7. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations (and in-kind contributions), for the year ended August 31, 2003, were as follows:

Purchases	$	70,588,577
Sales	$	46,157,411

8. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at August 31, 2003, 59.3% of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 17.7% of total investments.

9. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

At August 31, 2003, 100% of the distributions from net investment income is exempt from federal income tax, other than the federal AMT.

Independent Auditors' Report

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED MUNICIPAL SECURITIES INCOME TRUST AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED PENNSYLVANIA MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Federated Pennsylvania Municipal Income Fund (the "Fund") (a portfolio of the Federated Municipal Securities Income Trust) as of August 31, 2003, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to provide reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of the securities owned at August 31, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2003, the results of its operations, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
