Securities that are subject to the AMT represent 70.7% of the portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value.
1 The Fund may only invest in securities rated in one of the two highest short-term rating categories by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) or unrated securities of comparable quality. An NRSRO's two highest rating categories are determined without regard for sub-categories and gradations. For example, securities rated SP-1+, SP-1 or SP-2 by Standard & Poor's, MIG-1, or MIG-2 by Moody's Investors Service, or F-1+, F-1 or F-2 by Fitch Ratings, are all considered rated in one of the two highest short-term rating categories.
Securities rated in the highest short-term rating category (and unrated securities of comparable quality) are identified as First Tier securities. Securities rated in the second highest short-term rating category (and unrated securities of comparable quality) are identified as Second Tier securities. The Fund follows applicable regulations in determining whether a security is rated and whether a security rated by multiple NRSROs in different rating categories should be identified as a First or Second Tier security. At May 31, 2003, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:
Tier Rating Based on Total Market Value (unaudited)
First Tier | | Second Tier |
95.2% | | 4.8% |
2 Denotes a restricted security which is subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. These securities have been deemed liquid based upon criteria approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. At May 31, 2003, these securities amounted to $31,319,714 which represents 7.7% of net assets.
3 Also represents cost for federal tax purposes.

Notes to Financial Statements
May 31, 2003
ORGANIZATION
Cash Trust Series II (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 two portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Municipal Cash Series II (the "Fund"), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolio 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 consistent with stability of principal.
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").
Investment Valuation
The Fund uses the amortized cost method to value its portfolio securities in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.
Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions
Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Premium and Discount Amortization
All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted.
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. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. In some cases, the restricted securities may be resold without registration upon exercise of a demand feature. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees"). The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. Restricted securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.
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.
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). At May 31, 2003, capital paid-in aggregated $407,989,819.
Transactions in capital stock were as follows:
Year Ended May 31 | | 2003 | | | 2002 | |
| | Shares | | | | Amount | | | Shares | | | | Amount | |
Shares sold | | 1,836,612,431 | | | $ | 1,836,612,431 | | | 2,574,269,250 | | | $ | 2,574,269,250 | |

|
FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION
The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended May 31, 2003 and 2002, was as follows:
| | 2003 | | 2002 |
Tax-exempt income | | $3,233,565 | | $6,938,490 |
|
As of May 31, 2003, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed tax-exempt income | | $108,190 |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | $ 908 |
|
At May 31, 2003, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $908, 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.
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 0.50% 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, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on a scale that ranges from 0.150% to 0.075% of the average aggregate daily net assets of all funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., subject to a $125,000 minimum per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class.
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 reimburse 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 0.20% of the average daily net assets of the Fund shares, annually, to reimburse FSC.
Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses
FServ, through its subsidiary Federated Shareholder Services Company ("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.
Interfund Transactions
During the six months ended May 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.

Independent Auditors' Report
TO THE TRUSTEES OF CASH TRUST SERIES II AND SHAREHOLDERS OF MUNICIPAL CASH SERIES II:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments of Municipal Cash Series II (the "Fund") a portfolio of Cash Trust Series II as of May 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 financial highlights for the periods presented. 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 obtain 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 securities owned as of May 31, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian. 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 that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Municipal Cash Series II at May 31, 2003, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements
May 31, 2003
ORGANIZATION
Cash Trust Series II (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 two portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Treasury Cash Series II (the "Fund"). The financial statements of the other portfolio 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 consistent with stability of principal and liquidity.
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").
Investment Valuation
The Fund uses the amortized cost method to value its portfolio securities in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.
Repurchase Agreements
It is the policy of the Fund to require the custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or to have segregated within the custodian bank's vault, all securities held as collateral under repurchase agreement transactions. Additionally, procedures have been established by the Fund to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each repurchase agreement's collateral to ensure that the value of collateral at least equals the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement.
The Fund will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by the Fund's investment adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed or established by the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees"). Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Fund could receive less than the repurchase price on the sale of collateral securities. The Fund, along with other affiliated investment companies, may utilize a joint trading account for the purpose of entering into one or more repurchase agreements.
Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions
Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Premium and Discount Amortization
All premiums and discounts are accreted/amortized.
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.
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.
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). At May 31, 2003, capital paid-in aggregated $381,465,036. Transactions in capital stock were as follows:
Year Ended May 31 | | 2003 | | | 2002 | |
Shares sold | | 1,809,944,342 | | | 1,969,918,536 | |

|

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 0.50% 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 its sole discretion.
Administrative Fee
Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on a scale that ranges from 0.150% to 0.075% of the average aggregate daily net assets of all funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., subject to a $125,000 minimum per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class.
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 reimburse 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 0.20% of the average daily net assets of the Fund annually to reimburse FSC.
Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses
FServ, through its subsidiary Federated Shareholder Services Company ("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 of 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.
General
Certain of the Officers and Trustees of the Trust are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.

Independent Auditors' Report
TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF CASH TRUST SERIES II AND SHAREHOLDERS OF TREASURY CASH SERIES II:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Treasury Cash Series II (the "Fund") (a portfolio of Cash Trust Series II) as of May 31, 2003, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for the years ended May 31, 2003 and 2002, and the financial highlights for the periods presented. 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 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 May 31, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian. 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 May 31, 2003, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for the respective stated periods in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
