Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

PERFORMANCE

This report covers Federated Municipal Ultrashort Fund's fiscal year performance period from October 1, 2002, through September 30, 2003. For the period prior to the February 14, 2003, commencement of Class A Share operations, the performance information shown is for the fund's Institutional Service Shares, which were converted to Class A Shares.

During the reporting period, Federated Municipal Ultrashort Fund's Class A Shares produced a total return of 1.97% based on net asset value (NAV) as tax-exempt dividend income was slightly enhanced by 0.495% of price appreciation due to declining interest rates.¹ The fund's benchmarks, the Lehman Brothers 1-Year Municipal Bond Index and Lipper Tax-Exempt Money Market Funds Index, returned 2.34% and 0.55%, respectively.²

The fund's return handily exceeded the Lipper Tax-Exempt Money Market Funds Index during the reporting period, but lagged the Lehman Brothers 1-Year Municipal Bond Index return due to its considerably shorter average duration (0.6-0.8 years) compared to the Lehman index's duration (1.4 years). The fund's duration³ and effective average maturity generally were longer than money market funds but much shorter than the one-year municipal benchmark index. As a result, the structure and duration of the fund, with approximately 40% in variable rate demand notes, made it likely to underperform the Lehman Index in a reporting period of declining interest rates.

The fund seeks to provide higher income than municipal money market funds generally provide while maintaining a very low degree of share-price fluctuation.⁴ The NAV of the fund's Class A Shares during the reporting period moved from $2.02 to $2.03.⁴ On September 30, 2003, the fund's Class A Shares 30-day distribution rate was 1.12% and the 30-day SEC yield was 0.84% based on NAV.⁵

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 costs. The total return for the reporting period, based on offering price (i.e., less any applicable sales charge) for Class A Shares was (0.01%). Current month-end performance information is available by visiting www.federatedinvestors.com or calling 1-800-341-7400. The fund also offers another share class--Institutional Shares. See the Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information and Annual Report for information regarding the fund's Institutional Shares.

2 The Lehman Brothers 1-Year Municipal Bond Index is a total return benchmark designed for tax-exempt assets. The index includes bonds with a minimum credit rating of Baa3 and that are issued as part of a deal of at least $50 million, have an amount outstanding of at least $5 million, have maturities of one to two years, and have been issued after December 31, 1990. The Lipper Tax-Exempt Money Market Funds Index represents the average total return of money market funds that report to Lipper, Inc. that fall into the category indicated. Investments cannot be made in these indexes.

3 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.

4 Unlike money market funds, which seek to maintain a $1.00 share price, this fund's shares will fluctuate in value.

5 The 30-day distribution rate (yield) reflects actual distributions made to shareholders. It is calculated by dividing the monthly annualized dividend plus short-term capital gains, if applicable, by the average 30-day offering price. The 30-day 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. The 30-day SEC yield based on offering price was 0.83%..

In terms of income, the fund's Class A Shares had a tax-exempt income return during the reporting period of 1.48%, which was equivalent to a taxable income return of 2.28% for investors in the highest federal tax bracket. For these same investors, the taxable equivalent total return (income return plus price return) was 2.78%, based on NAV, which handily beat taxable money market funds over the period.⁶

MARKET OVERVIEW

The fund's reporting period was characterized by conflicting but generally lackluster economic reports, heightened geopolitical risks including the war in Iraq, and considerable market uncertainty and interest rate volatility.

In November, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") cut the federal funds target rate by 0.50% to 1.25%. Amid signs of persistent economic weakness, short-term municipal bond yields fell and prices rose into 2003.

Short-term interest rates, as measured by two-year Treasury and municipal bonds, exhibited significant yield volatility in the fourth quarter of 2003 and first quarters of 2003. From a relative value perspective, municipal-to-Treasury yield ratios remained attractive, and municipals were the preferred income investment for more affluent individuals as well as institutional investors. With interest rates low, and municipalities struggling with cash shortfalls due to declining tax receipts, municipal bond issuance increased to match demand during the reporting period.

During the first two months of 2003, the build-up to the war in Iraq caused a "flight to safety" in the bond market. At the end of major military action in Iraq in the spring of 2003, the U.S. economy still failed to show clear signs of strength or direction. In May 2003, Fed Chairman Greenspan cautioned the markets on the risks of an unwelcome substantial fall in inflation. This remark fueled deflation fears and ignited a bond market rally that lasted until mid-June 2003. The Fed cut the federal funds target rate again, lowering it to 1.00% in June 2003.

In July and August 2003, however, as the economy showed signs of improved growth, the market began to price out deflation fears and to anticipate a higher federal funds target rate in 2004. Interest rates rose rapidly, with short-term rates suffering much less than intermediate and long-term rates. But September 2003's weak labor market report, together with Fed comments indicating a willingness to remain accommodative for an extended period of time, sparked a bond market rally and caused interest rates to again fall sharply.

6 The tax-equivalent yield is calculated similarly to the yield but is adjusted to reflect the taxable yield that the fund would have had to earn to equal its actual yield. Unlike money market funds, which seek to maintain a $1.00 share price, this fund's shares will fluctuate in value.

During the reporting period, the two-year Treasury yield fluctuated by over 90 basis points. At the end of the reporting period, the two-year Treasury note yield was 1.45% versus the two-year municipal bond yield of 1.18%. From a relative value perspective, municipal to Treasury yield ratios for the two-year maturity declined near the end of the reporting period, as demand for short-term municipal debt remained strong despite tight supply conditions.

Fund Strategy and Positioning

Because of the fund's significant income advantage over money market fund yields, during the reporting period, the net assets of the fund grew rapidly, moving from $651 million to $994 million. Portfolio strategy concentrated on maintaining a significant yield advantage versus municipal money market funds, while maintaining liquidity, quality, and proper diversification of investments.

Fund investments, during the reporting period, included exposure to variable rate demand notes, many of them bank-enhanced, as well as to the Insured, General Obligation, Healthcare, Electric and Gas Utilities and Industrial Development bond sectors. The sectors that performed well for the fund included Healthcare, Electric Utilities and Industrial Development bonds, as they provided income enhancement relative to insured bonds as well as price performance. The fund avoided term bonds in the Tobacco sector, which suffered in price due to litigation and adverse legal rulings, as well as the Airline sector which continued to see pressure due to bankruptcy concerns.

During the reporting period, the fund favored securities with good liquidity and structural features, and fund purchases concentrated on those issues with higher coupons and lower durations as well as spread products, which generally perform better during periods of economic recovery. The average quality of the fund remained relatively unchanged during the reporting period at "AA," a high-quality standard.⁷

Given the decline earlier in the reporting period of short-term interest rates, the reporting period began with the fund's duration within 0.80 and 0.90 years, reflecting a desire to lock in more attractive fixed rate yields before rates fell further. In the first months of 2003, as cash inflows continued, duration was shortened to about 0.70 years, a stance considered neutral, relative to the fund's range.⁸ In the second and third quarters of 2003, the fund maintained duration between 0.65 and 0.75 years, as interest rates appeared to have hit their low for this cycle, and concerns arose about the potential for rising interest rates.

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

8 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.

GROWTH OF $10,000 INVESTMENT

The graph below illustrates the hypothetical investment of $10,000¹ in the Federated Municipal Ultrashort Fund (Class A Shares) (the "Fund") from October 24, 2000 (start of performance) to September 30, 2003 compared to the Lehman Brothers 1-Year Municipal Bond Index (LB1MB) and the Lipper Tax-Exempt Money Market Funds Index (LTEMMFI).²

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may 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. Effective February 14, 2003, a maximum sales charge of 2.00% for newly purchased Class A Shares was implemented. The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The LB1MB and LTEMMFI have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indexes.

2 The LB1MB is not adjusted to reflect sales loads, expenses, or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. The indexes are unmanaged. The fund is not a money market fund and is not subject to the special regulatory requirements (including maturity and credit quality constraints) designed to enable money market funds to maintain a stable share price.

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

1 Please refer to the Appendix of the Statement of Additional Information for an explanation of the long-term credit ratings. Short-term ratings on issues with demand features are differentiated by the use of the VMIG symbol to reflect such characteristics as payment upon periodic demand rather than fixed maturity dates and payment relying on external liquidity.

VMIG1--This designation denotes best quality. There is present strong protection by established cash flows, superior liquidity support or demonstrated broad based access to the market for refinancing.

VMIG2--This designation denotes high quality. Margins of protections are ample although not so large as in the preceding group.

Current credit ratings are unaudited.

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 Directors. At September 30, 2003, these securities amounted to $3,029,610 which represents 0.3% of total net assets.

3 The cost of investments for federal tax purposes amounts to $995,888,452.

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2003

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated Fixed Income Securities, Inc. (the "Corporation") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end, management investment company. The Corporation consists of four portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated Municipal Ultrashort Fund (the "Fund"), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and Class A Shares. Effective February 14, 2003, the Institutional Service Shares were restructured as Class A Shares. The investment objective of the fund is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax.

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 Directors ("Directors").

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 discount 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.

Other Taxes

As an open-end management investment company incorporated in the State of Maryland but domiciled in Pennsylvania, the Fund is subject to the Pennsylvania Franchise Tax. This franchise tax is assessed annually on the value of the Fund, as represented by average net assets for the tax year.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

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

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 on the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Directors. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Fund's restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Directors.

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 October 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 10/1/2001		For the Year Ended 9/30/2002
	Cost of Investments	Undistributed Net Investment Income	Net Investment Income	Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)	Net Realized Gain (Loss)
Increase (Decrease)	$360	$360	$792	$(724)	$(68)

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

4. CAPITAL STOCK

Share Class Name		Number of Par Value Capital Stock Authorized
Institutional Shares		500,000,000

NET CHANGE RESULTING FROM SHARE TRANSACTIONS	168,687,529		$	342,093,933		223,174,788		$	449,656,522

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 September 30, 2003, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)		Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses)
$(1,132)		$1,132

Net investment income, net realized gains (losses), as disclosed on the Statement of Operations, 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 September 30, 2003 and 2002 was as follows:

	2003	2002
Tax-exempt income	$13,045,619	$7,744,264

As of September 30, 2003, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income	$	507,463

Net unrealized appreciation	$	4,633,024

Capital loss carryforward	$	354,141

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

At September 30, 2003, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $995,888,452. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $4,633,024. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $4,714,575 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $81,551.

At September 30, 2003, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $354,141 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 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
2010		$ 541

2011		$353,600

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 September 30, 2003, for federal income tax purposes, post October losses of $161,764 were deferred to October 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 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Administrative Fee

Federated 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 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 Shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of up to 0.25% of 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.

Sales Charges

For the year ended September 30, 2003, FSC retained $318 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. See "What Do Shares Cost?" in the Prospectus.

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 shares 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. For the year ended September 30, 2003, the Institutional Shares did not pay or accrue the shareholder services fee.

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 September 30, 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 $903,218,383 and $785,067,975, respectively.

General

Certain of the Officers and Directors of the Corporation 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 September 30, 2003, were as follows:

Purchases		$418,784,719

Sales		$210,605,105

8. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (UNAUDITED)

In October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds") were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania 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. Federated and the Funds are reviewing the allegations and will respond appropriately. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations 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.

9. FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

At September 30, 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 DIRECTORS OF FEDERATED FIXED INCOME SECURITIES, INC. AND THE SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MUNICIPAL ULTRASHORT FUND:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Federated Municipal Ultrashort Fund (the "Fund") as of September 30, 2003, and the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, 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 audit 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 September 30, 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 that our audit provides 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 Federated Municipal Ultrashort Fund as of September 30, 2003, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

PERFORMANCE

This report covers Federated Municipal Ultrashort Fund's fiscal year performance from October 1, 2002 through September 30, 2003. During the reporting period, Federated Municipal Ultrashort Fund's Institutional Shares produced a total return of 2.43% as tax-exempt dividend income was slightly enhanced by 0.495% of price appreciation due to declining interest rates.¹ The fund's benchmarks, the Lehman Brothers 1-Year Municipal Bond Index and Lipper Tax-Exempt Money Market Funds Index, returned 2.34% and 0.55%, respectively.²

These returns handily exceeded the Lipper Tax-Exempt Money Market Funds Index during the reporting period, and were slightly better than the Lehman Brothers 1-Year Municipal Bond Index return despite the considerably shorter average duration of the fund (0.6-0.8 years) as compared to the Lehman Index duration (1.4 years).³ The fund's duration and effective average maturity generally were longer than money market funds but much shorter than the 1-year municipal benchmark index. As a result, the structure and duration of the fund, with approximately 40% in variable rate demand notes, made it difficult to outperform the Lehman Index in a reporting period of declining interest rates.

The fund seeks to provide higher income than municipal money market funds generally provide while maintaining a very low degree of share-price fluctuation. The net asset value (NAV) of the Fund's Institutional Shares during the reporting period moved from $2.02 to $2.03.⁴ At September 30, 2003, the fund's Institutional Shares 30-day distribution rate was 1.57% and the 30-day SEC yield was 1.29%.⁵

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 costs. Current month-end performance information is available by visiting www.federatedinvestors.com or calling 1-800-341-7400. The Fund also offers another share class--Class A Shares. See the Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information and Annual Report for information regarding the Fund's Class A Shares.

4 Unlike money market funds, which seek to maintain a $1.00 share price, this fund's shares will fluctuate in value.

5 The 30-day distribution rate (yield) reflects actual distributions made to shareholders. It is calculated by dividing the monthly annualized dividend plus short-term capital gains, if any, by the average 30-day offering price. The 30-day 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.

In terms of income, the fund's Institutional Shares had a tax-exempt income return during the reporting period of 1.94%, which was equivalent to a taxable income return of 2.98% for investors in the highest federal tax bracket. For these same investors, the taxable equivalent total return (income return plus price return) was 3.74%, based on NAV, which handily beat taxable money market funds over the period.⁶

MARKET OVERVIEW

Fund Strategy and Positioning

Because of the fund's significant income advantage over money market fund yields, during the reporting period the net assets of the fund grew rapidly moving from $651 million to $994 million. Portfolio strategy concentrated on maintaining a significant yield advantage versus municipal money market funds, while maintaining liquidity, quality and proper diversification of investments.

Fund investments during the reporting period included exposure to variable rate demand notes, many of them bank-enhanced, as well as to the Insured, General Obligation, Healthcare, Electric and Gas Utility and Industrial Development bond sectors. The sectors that performed well for the fund included Healthcare, Electric Utilities and Industrial Development bonds, as they provided income enhancement relative to insured bonds as well as incremental price performance. The fund avoided term bonds in the Tobacco sector, which suffered in price due to litigation and adverse legal rulings, as well as the Airline sector which continued to see pressure due to bankruptcy concerns.

During the reporting period, the fund favored securities with good liquidity and structural features, and fund purchases concentrated on those with higher coupons and lower durations as well as spread products, which generally perform better during periods of economic recovery. The average quality of the fund remained relatively unchanged during the reporting period at "AA-," a high-quality standard.⁷

Given the decline earlier in the reporting period of short-term interest rates, the reporting period began with the fund's duration within 0.80 and 0.90 years, reflecting a desire to lock in more attractive fixed rate yields before rates fell further. In the first months of 2003, as cash inflows continued, duration was shortened to about 0.70 years, a stance considered neutral relative to the fund's range.⁸ In the second and third quarters, the fund maintained duration between 0.65 and 0.75 years, as interest rates appeared to have hit their low for this cycle, and concerns arose about the potential for rising interest rates.
