Securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) represent 59.0% 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 Rating, 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, 2004, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:
Tier Rating Based on Total Market Value
First Tier | | Second Tier |
97.7% | | 2.3% |
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, 2004, these securities amounted to $43,127,000 which represents 9.0% of total net assets.
3 Also represents cost for federal tax purposes.

The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax consistent with stability of principal.
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
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. For the year ended May 31, 2004, all of the Fund's distributions were from tax exempt income.
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 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.
3. 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, 2004, capital paid-in aggregated $480,005,634.
Transactions in capital stock were as follows:
Year Ended May 31 | | 2004 | | 2003 |
| | Shares | | | | Amount | | | Shares | | | | Amount | |

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION
The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended May 31, 2004 and 2003, was as follows:
| | 2004 | | 2003 |
Tax-exempt income | | $1,656,237 | | $3,233,565 |
|
As of May 31, 2004, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed tax-exempt income | | $ | 53,941 |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | $ | 3,571 |
|
At May 31, 2004, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $3,571, 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 by necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire as follows:
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 May 31, 2004, for federal income tax purposes, post October losses of $302 were deferred to June 1, 2004.
5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Investment Adviser Fee
Federated Investment Management Company, the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to 0.50% 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 Administrative Services ("FAS"), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:
Maximum Administrative Fee | | Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds |
0.150% | | on the first $5 billion |
0.125% | | on the next $5 billion |
0.100% | | on the next $10 billion |
0.075% | | on assets in excess of $20 billion |
The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of their fee. FAS can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at their sole discretion.
Prior to November 1, 2003, Federated Services Company (FServ) provided the Fund with Administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ was based on the average aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:
Maximum Administrative Fee | | Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds |
0.150% | | on the first $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 was at least $125,000 per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class of Shares.
For the year ended May 31, 2004 the fees paid to FAS and FServ were $227,789 and $135,565, respectively, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.
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 daily net assets of the Fund's shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these 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. 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.
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
Prior to January 1, 2004, FServ maintained the Fund's accounting records for which it received a fee. The fee was based on the level of the Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The fee paid to FServ during the reporting period was $47,343, after the voluntary waiver, if applicable.
Interfund Transactions
During the year ended May 31, 2004, 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 $1,413,323,000 and $1,559,549,000, respectively.
General
Certain of the Officers and Trustees of the Trust are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.
6. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds"), were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and will respond appropriately. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations have been filed, and others may be filed in the future. Although Federated does not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from related regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
TO THE BOARD OF 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 the Cash Trust Series II) as of May 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for the years ended May 31, 2004 and 2003, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five year period ended May 31, 2004. 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 standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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, 2004, 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, 2004, 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
May 31, 2004
1. 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.
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
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 the 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 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.
3. 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, 2004, capital paid-in aggregated $300,273,147. Transactions in capital stock were as follows:
Year Ended May 31 | | 2004 | | | | 2003 | |
Shares sold | | 1,657,412,283 | | | | 1,809,944,342 | |

Shares redeemed | | (1,738,756,684 | ) | | | (1,866,209,056 | ) |
|
NET CHANGE RESULTING FROM SHARE TRANSACTIONS | | (81,191,889 | ) | | | (55,612,960 | ) |
|
4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

| | | 2004 | | | 2003 |

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Investment Adviser Fee
Federated Investment Management Company, the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to 0.50% 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 Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:
Maximum Administrative Fee |
| Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds |
0.150% | | on the first $5 billion |
0.125% | | on the next $5 billion |
0.100% | | on the next $10 billion |
0.075% | | on assets in excess of $20 billion |
The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FAS can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.
Prior to November 1, 2003, Federated Services Company (FServ) provided the Fund with Administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ was based on the average aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:
Maximum Administrative Fee | | Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds |
0.150% | | on the first $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 was at least $125,000 per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class of Shares.
For the year ended May 31, 2004 the fees paid to FAS and FServ were $126,702 and $104,321, respectively, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.
Distribution Services Fee
The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (FSC), the principal distributor, from the daily net assets of the Fund's shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses up to 0.20% of the average daily net assets, 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.
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
Prior to January 1, 2004, FServ maintained the Fund's accounting records for which it received a fee. The fee was based on the level of the Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The fee paid to FServ during the reporting period was $46,063, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.
General
Certain of the Officers and Trustees of the Trust are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.
6. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds"), were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and will respond appropriately. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations have been filed, and others may be filed in the future. Although Federated does not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from related regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
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 the Cash Trust Series II) as of May 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for the years ended May 31, 2004 and 2003, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period ended May 31, 2004. 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 standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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, 2004, 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, 2004, 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.

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