Notes to Financial Statements
May 31, 2004 (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Federated Managed Allocation Portfolios (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of three diversified portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated Conservative Allocation Fund (the "Fund"). 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 seek total return with an emphasis on income and capital appreciation. The Fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and Select 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
Domestic and foreign equity securities are valued at the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available. If unavailable, the security is generally valued at the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices. With respect to valuation of foreign securities, trading in foreign cities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Therefore, foreign securities are valued at the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated in U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rate in effect at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the day the value of the foreign security is determined. Fixed-income, listed corporate bonds, unlisted securities and private placement securities are generally valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked price as furnished by an independent pricing service. 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 regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value. Securities for which no quotations are readily available or whose values have been affected by a significant event occurring between the close of their primary markets and the closing of the NYSE are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under general supervision of the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees").
Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund may invest in Federated Core Trust II (the "Core Trust II"), which is independently managed by Federated Investment Counseling. Core Trust II is a limited partnership established under the laws of the state of Delaware, on November 13, 2000, registered under the Act, and offered only to registered investment companies and other accredited investors. The investment objective of Capital Appreciation Core Fund (CACORE), a series of Core Trust II, is to provide capital appreciation. Federated receives no advisory or administrative fees on behalf of the Core Trust II. The Fund records daily its proportionate share of income, expenses, unrealized gains and losses and realized gains and losses from CACORE. Additional information regarding CACORE is available upon request.
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 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. Dividend income and 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.
Withholding taxes on foreign interest, dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country's tax rules and rates.
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 may purchase stock (bond) index futures contracts to manage cashflows, enhance yield, and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a stock (bond) index futures contract with a broker, the Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a "variation margin" account. Daily, the Fund receives from or pays to the broker a specified amount of cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of the underlying securities. For the six months ended May 31, 2004, the Fund had a realized gain of $352,169 on futures contracts.
At May 31, 2004, the Fund had no outstanding futures contracts.
Foreign Exchange Contracts
The Fund may enter into foreign currency commitments for the delayed delivery of securities or foreign currency exchange transactions. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contract transactions to protect assets against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations. Purchased contracts are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies; whereas, contracts to sell are used to hedge the Fund's securities against currency fluctuations. Risks may arise upon entering these transactions from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their commitments and from unanticipated movements in security prices or foreign exchange rates. The foreign currency transactions are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the settlement date. At May 31, 2004, the Fund had no outstanding foreign currency commitments.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (FCs) are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rates of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of FCs, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.
Other
Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION
At May 31, 2004, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $110,096,392. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $1,587,750. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $3,030,910 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $1,443,160.
At November 30, 2003, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $3,918,945 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 |
2009 | | $1,604,810 |
|
2010 | | $2,314,135 |
|
5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Investment Adviser Fee
Federated Equity Management Company of Pennsylvania (FEMCOPA), the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Prior to January 1, 2004, the Fund's investment adviser was Federated Investment Management Company, (FIMCO). The fee received by FIMCO was identical to that received by FEMCOPA. FEMCOPA and FIMCO may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of their fees. FEMCOPA and FIMCO can modify or terminate this voluntary wavier at any time at their sole discretion. For the six months ended May 31, 2004 the fees paid to FEMCOPA and FIMCO were $287,451 and $57,796, respectively, after voluntary waiver if applicable.
Certain of the Fund's assets are managed by FIMCO (the "Sub-Adviser). Under the terms of a sub-adviser agreement between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser receives an allocable portion of the Fund's adviser fee. The fee is paid by the Adviser out of its resources and is not an incremental Fund expense.
Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund may invest in other funds which are managed by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser has agreed to reimburse certain investment adviser fees as a result of these transactions. Income distributions earned from investments in these funds are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and are listed below:
Capital Appreciation Core Fund | | $ | 425,544 |
|
Emerging Markets Fixed Income Core Fund | | $ | 51,460 |
|
Federated Intermediate Corporate Bond Fund | | $ | 367,564 |

|
Prime Value Obligations Fund | | $ | 16,959 |
|
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.
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 Select Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of up to 0.75% 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.
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 the average daily net assets of the Fund's Institutional Shares and Select 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 and/or reimburse any portion of its fee. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver and/or reimbursement at any time at its sole discretion.
Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses
Federated Services Company (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
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 $5,760, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.
General
Certain of the Officers and Trustees of the Fund are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.
6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations (and in-kind contributions), for the six months ended May 31, 2004, were as follows:
Purchases | | $ | 25,770,282 |
|
Sales | | $ | 15,891,000 |

7. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities of companies that are deemed by the Fund's management to be classified in similar business sectors. The economic developments within a particular sector may have an adverse effect on the ability of issuers to meet their obligations. Additionally, economic developments may have an effect on the liquidity and volatility of the portfolio securities.
8. 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.
Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.
This report is authorized for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by the fund's prospectus, which contains facts concerning its objective and policies, management fees, expenses, and other information.
VOTING PROXIES ON FUND PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
A description of the policies and procedures that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to securities held in the Fund's portfolio is available, without charge and upon request, by calling 1-800-341-7400. This information is also available from the EDGAR database on the SEC's Internet site at http://www.sec.gov.
IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT FUND DOCUMENT DELIVERY
In an effort to reduce costs and avoid duplicate mailings, the Fund(s) intend to deliver a single copy of certain documents to each household in which more than one shareholder of the Fund(s) resides (so-called "householding"), as permitted by applicable rules. The Fund's "householding" program covers its/their Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, and supplements to each, as well as Semi-Annual and Annual Shareholder Reports and any Proxies or information statements. Shareholders must give their written consent to participate in the "householding" program. The Fund is also permitted to treat a shareholder as having given consent ("implied consent") if (i) shareholders with the same last name, or believed to be members of the same family, reside at the same street address or receive mail at the same post office box, (ii) the Fund gives notice of its intent to "household" at least sixty (60) days before it begins "householding" and (iii) none of the shareholders in the household have notified the Fund(s) or their agent of the desire to "opt out" of "householding." Shareholders who have granted written consent, or have been deemed to have granted implied consent, can revoke that consent and opt out of "householding" at any time: shareholders who purchased shares through an intermediary should contact their representative; other shareholders may call the Fund at 1-800-341-7400.

Notes to Financial Statements
May 31, 2004 (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Federated Managed Allocation Portfolios (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of three diversified portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated Growth Allocation Fund (the "Fund"). 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 seek capital appreciation. The Fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and Select 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
Domestic and foreign equity securities are valued at the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available. If unavailable, the security is generally valued at the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices. With respect to valuation of foreign securities, trading in foreign cities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Therefore, foreign securities are valued at the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated in U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rate in effect at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the day the value of the foreign security is determined. Fixed-income, listed corporate bonds, unlisted securities and private placement securities are generally valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked price as furnished by an independent pricing service. 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 regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value. Securities for which no quotations are readily available or whose values have been affected by a significant event occurring between the close of their primary markets and the closing of the NYSE are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under general supervision of the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees").
Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund may invest in Federated Core Trust II, (the "Core Trust II") which is independently managed by Federated Investment Counseling. Core Trust II is a limited partnership established under the laws of the state of Delaware, on November 13, 2000, registered under the Act, and offered only to registered investment companies and other accredited investors. The investment objective of Capital Appreciation Core Fund (CACORE), a series of Core Trust II, is to provide capital appreciation. Federated receives no advisory or administrative fees on behalf of the Core Trust II. The Fund records daily its proportionate share of income, expenses, unrealized gains and losses and realized gains and losses from CACORE. Additional information regarding CACORE is available upon request.
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 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. Dividend income and 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.
Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These distributions do not represent a return of capital for federal income tax purposes.
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.
Withholding taxes on foreign interest, dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country's tax rules and rates.
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 may purchase stock (bond) index futures contracts to manage cashflows, enhance yield, and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a stock (bond) index futures contract with a broker, the Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a "variation margin" account. Daily, the Fund receives from or pays to the broker a specified amount of cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of the underlying securities. For the six months ended May 31, 2004, the Fund had a realized gain of $184,130 on futures contracts.
At May 31, 2004, the Fund had no outstanding open futures contracts.
Foreign Exchange Contracts
The Fund may enter into foreign currency commitments for the delayed delivery of securities or foreign currency exchange transactions. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contract transactions to protect assets against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations. Purchased contracts are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies; whereas, contracts to sell are used to hedge the Fund's securities against currency fluctuations. Risks may arise upon entering these transactions from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their commitments and from unanticipated movements in security prices or foreign exchange rates. The foreign currency transactions are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the settlement date. At May 31, 2004, the Fund had no outstanding foreign currency commitments.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (FCs) are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of FCs, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.
Other
Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
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) for each class of shares.
Transactions in shares were as follows:
| | Six Months Ended 5/31/2004 | | Year Ended 11/30/2003 |

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION
At May 31, 2004, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $79,560,739. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $3,946,685. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $4,009,761 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $63,076.
At November 30, 2003, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $14,368,305 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 |
2009 | | $7,242,673 |
|
2010 | | $7,125,632 |
|
5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Investment Adviser Fee
Federated Equity Management Company of Pennsylvania (FEMCOPA), the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Prior to January 1, 2004, the Fund's investment adviser was Federated Investment Management Company (FIMCO). The fee received by FIMCO was identical to that received by FEMCOPA. FEMCOPA and FIMCO may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of their fees. FEMCOPA and FIMCO can modify or terminate this voluntary wavier at any time at their sole discretion. For the six months ended May 31, 2004, the fees paid to FEMCOPA and FIMCO were $231,560 and $54,682, respectively, after voluntary waiver if applicable.
Certain of the Fund's assets are managed by FIMCO (the "Sub-Adviser). Under the terms of a sub-adviser agreement between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser receives an allocable portion of the Fund's adviser fee. The fee is paid by the Adviser out of its resources and is not an incremental Fund expense.
Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund may invest in other funds which are managed by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser has agreed to reimburse certain investment adviser fees as a result of these transactions. Income distributions earned from investments in these funds are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and are listed below:
Capital Appreciation Core Fund | | $ | 574,235 |
|
Emerging Markets Fixed Income Core Fund | | $ | 5,529 |
|
Federated Intermediate Corporate Bond Fund | | $ | 41,290 |
|
Federated Mortgage Core Portfolio | | $ | 46,206 |
|
High-Yield Bond Portfolio | | $ | 30,490 |
|
Prime Value Obligations Fund | | $ | 11,298 |
|
Federated U.S. Government Bond Fund | | $ | 9,510 |
|
Federated U.S. Government Securities Fund: 2-5 Years | | $ | 18,458 |
|
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.
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 Select Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of up to 0.75% 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.
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 the average daily net assets of the Fund's Institutional Shares and Select 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 and/or reimburse any portion of its fee. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver and/or reimbursement at any time at its sole discretion.
Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses
Federated Services Company (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
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 $5,607, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.
General
Certain of the Officers and Directors of the Fund are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.
6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations (and in-kind contributions), for the six months ended May 31, 2004, were as follows:
Purchases | | $ | 14,050,615 |
|
Sales | | $ | 7,936,999 |
|
7. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities of companies that are deemed by the Fund's management to be classified in similar business sectors. The economic developments within a particular sector may have an adverse effect on the ability of issuers to meet their obligations. Additionally, economic developments may have an effect on the liquidity and volatility of the portfolio securities.
8. 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.

Notes to Financial Statements -- Federated Capital Appreciation Core Fund
May 31, 2004 (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Capital Appreciation Core Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified portfolio of Federated Core Trust II, L.P. (the "Trust"). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"). The Trust is a limited partnership that was established under the laws of the state of Delaware on November 13, 2000 and offered only to registered investment companies and other accredited investors. The Trust consists of two portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of the Fund. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide capital appreciation. Currently, the Fund is only available for purchase by other Federated funds and their affiliates.
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
Listed equity securities are valued at the last sale price or official closing price reported on a national securities exchange. 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 value. Investments in other open-end regulated 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 Directors (the "Directors").
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 Directors. 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, Distributions and Tax
Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. All net income and gain/loss (realized and unrealized) will be allocated daily to the shareholders based on their capital contributions to the Fund. The Fund does not currently intend to declare and pay distributions.
Premium and Discount Amortization
All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes.
Federal Taxes
As a partnership, the Fund is not subject to U.S. federal income tax. Instead, each investor reports separately on its own federal income tax return its allocated portion of the Fund's income, gains, losses, deductions and credits.
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. CONTRIBUTIONS/WITHDRAWALS
Transactions in shares were as follows:

|
1 Reflects operations for the period from October 28, 2003 (date of initial investment) to November 30, 2003.
4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION
At May 31, 2004, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $201,415,103. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $10,777,803. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $13,574,201 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $2,796,398.
5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Investment Adviser Fee
Federated Investment Counseling is the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), subject to the direction of the Directors. The Adviser provides investment adviser services at no fee. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to reimburse certain operating expenses of the Fund. The Adviser can modify or terminate this reimbursement at any time at its sole discretion.
Administrative Fee
Federated Administrative Services, Inc. (FASI), a subsidiary of Federated Investors, Inc., provides administrative personnel and services (including certain legal and financial reporting services) necessary to operate the Fund. FASI provides these services at an annual rate that ranges from 0.150% to 0.075% of the average aggregate net assets of all funds advised by affiliates of Federated Investors, Inc. FASI may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FASI may terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.
Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses
FASI serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FASI is based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. FASI may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FASI can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.
Portfolio Accounting Fees
FASI 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. FASI may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FASI can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.
General
Certain of the Officers and Directors of the Trust are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.
6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

|
Sales | | $ | 71,345,752 |
|
7. 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.
Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.
This report is authorized for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by the fund's prospectus, which contains facts concerning its objective and policies, management fees, expenses, and other information.
VOTING PROXIES ON FUND PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
A description of the policies and procedures that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to securities held in the Fund's portfolio is available, without charge and upon request, by calling 1-800-341-7400. This information is also available from the EDGAR database on the SEC's Internet site at http://www.sec.gov.
IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT FUND DOCUMENT DELIVERY
In an effort to reduce costs and avoid duplicate mailings, the Fund(s) intend to deliver a single copy of certain documents to each household in which more than one shareholder of the Fund(s) resides (so-called "householding"), as permitted by applicable rules. The Fund's "householding" program covers its/their Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, and supplements to each, as well as Semi-Annual and Annual Shareholder Reports and any Proxies or information statements. Shareholders must give their written consent to participate in the "householding" program. The Fund is also permitted to treat a shareholder as having given consent ("implied consent") if (i) shareholders with the same last name, or believed to be members of the same family, reside at the same street address or receive mail at the same post office box, (ii) the Fund gives notice of its intent to "household" at least sixty (60) days before it begins "householding" and (iii) none of the shareholders in the household have notified the Fund(s) or their agent of the desire to "opt out" of "householding." Shareholders who have granted written consent, or have been deemed to have granted implied consent, can revoke that consent and opt out of "householding" at any time: shareholders who purchased shares through an intermediary should contact their representative; other shareholders may call the Fund at 1-800-341-7400.

Notes to Financial Statements
May 31, 2004 (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Federated Managed Allocation Portfolios (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act") as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust consists of three diversified portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated Moderate Allocation Fund (the "Fund"). 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 seek capital appreciation with income as a secondary objective. The Fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and Select 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
Domestic and foreign equity securities are valued at the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available. If unavailable, the security is generally valued at the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices. With respect to valuation of foreign securities, trading in foreign cities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Therefore, foreign securities are valued at the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated in U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rate in effect at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the day the value of the foreign security is determined. Fixed-income, listed corporate bonds, unlisted securities and private placement securities are generally valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked price as furnished by an independent pricing service. 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 regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value. Securities for which no quotations are readily available or whose values have been affected by a significant event occurring between the close of their primary markets and the closing of the NYSE are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under general supervision of the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees").
Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund may invest in Federated Core Trust II, (the "Core Trust II") which is independently managed by Federated Investment Counseling. Core Trust II is a limited partnership established under the laws of the State of Delaware, on November 13, 2000, registered under the Act, and offered only to registered investment companies and other accredited investors. The investment objective of Capital Appreciation Core Fund (CACORE), a series of Core Trust II, is to provide capital appreciation. Federated receives no advisory or administrative fees on behalf of the Core Trust II. The Fund records daily its proportionate share of income, expenses, unrealized gains and losses and realized gains and losses from CACORE. Additional information regarding CACORE is available upon request.
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 adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed or established by 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. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair market 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/Paydown Gains and Losses
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.
Withholding taxes on foreign interest dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country's tax rules and rates.
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 may purchase stock (bond) index futures contracts to manage cashflows, enhance yield and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a stock index futures contract with a broker, the Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a "variation margin" account. Daily, the Fund receives from or pays to the broker a specified amount of cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. For the six months ended May 31, 2004, the Fund had net realized gains of $258,042 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 May 31, 2004, the Fund had no outstanding futures contracts.
Foreign Exchange Contracts
The Fund may enter into foreign currency commitments for the delayed delivery of securities or foreign currency exchange transactions. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contract transactions to protect assets against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations. Purchased contracts are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies; whereas, contracts to sell are used to hedge the Fund's securities against currency fluctuations. Risks may arise upon entering into these transactions from the potential inability of counterparts to meet the terms of their commitments and from unanticipated movements in security prices or foreign exchange rates. The foreign currency transactions are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the settlement date. At May 31, 2004, the Fund had no outstanding foreign currency commitments.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (FCs) are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rates of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. Differences between income and expense amounts recorded and collected or paid are adjusted when reported by the custodian bank. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of FCs, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.
Other

4. FEDERAL TAXES INFORMATION
At May 31, 2004, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $141,664,831. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $4,951,642. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investment for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $5,944,178 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $992,536.
At November 30, 2003, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $10,879,337 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 |
2009 | | $4,101,638 |
|
2010 | | $6,777,699 |

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Investment Adviser Fee
Federated Equity Management Company of Pennsylvania (FEMCOPA), the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to 0.75%. Prior to January 1, 2004, the Fund's investment adviser was Federated Investment Management Company (FIMCO). The fee received by FIMCO was identical to that received by FEMCOPA. FEMCOPA and FIMCO may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of their fee. FEMCOPA and FIMCO can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion. For the six months ended May 31, 2004, the fee paid to FEMCOPA and FIMCO were $468,287 and $5,857, respectively, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.
Certain of the Fund's assets are managed by FIMCO (the "Sub-Adviser"). Under the terms of a sub-adviser agreement between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser receives an allocable portion of the Fund's adviser fee. The fee is paid by the Adviser out of its resources and is not an incremental Fund expense.
Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund may invest in other funds which are managed by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser has agreed to reimburse certain investment adviser fees as a result of these transactions. Income distributions earned from investments in these funds are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and are listed below:
Capital Appreciation Core Fund | | $ | 779,500 |
|
Emerging Markets Fixed Income Core Fund | | $ | 40,173 |
|
Federated Intermediate Corporate Bond Fund | | $ | 278,418 |
|
Federated Mortgage Core Portfolio | | $ | 295,867 |

|
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 aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:
Maximum Administrative Fee |
| Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets 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.
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 Select Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of up to 0.75% of average daily net assets, annually, to compensate FSC. The distributor may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The distributor 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's Institutional Shares and Select 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 and/or reimburse any portion of its fee. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver and/or reimbursement 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
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 $5,857, 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.

7. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities of companies that are deemed by the Fund's management to be classified in similar business sectors. The economic developments within a particular sector may have an adverse effect on the ability of issuers to meet their obligations. Additionally, economic developments may have an effect on the liquidity and volatility of the portfolio securities.
8. 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.
Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.
This report is authorized for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by the fund's prospectus, which contains facts concerning its objective and policies, management fees, expenses, and other information.
VOTING PROXIES ON FUND PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
A description of the policies and procedures that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to securities held in the Fund's portfolio is available, without charge and upon request, by calling 1-800-341-7400.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT FUND DOCUMENT DELIVERY
In an effort to reduce costs and avoid duplicate mailings, the Fund(s) intend to deliver a single copy of certain documents to each household in which more than one shareholder of the Fund(s) resides (so-called "householding"), as permitted by applicable rules. The Fund's "householding" program covers its/their Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, and supplements to each, as well as Semi-Annual and Annual Shareholder Reports and any Proxies or information statements. Shareholders must give their written consent to participate in the "householding" program. The Fund is also permitted to treat a shareholder as having given consent ("implied consent") if (i) shareholders with the same last name, or believed to be members of the same family, reside at the same street address or receive mail at the same post office box, (ii) the Fund gives notice of its intent to "household" at least sixty (60) days before it begins "householding" and (iii) none of the shareholders in the household have notified the Fund(s) or their agent of the desire to "opt out" of "householding." Shareholders who have granted written consent, or have been deemed to have granted implied consent, can revoke that consent and opt out of "householding" at any time: shareholders who purchased shares through an intermediary should contact their representative; other shareholders may call the Fund at 1-800-341-7400.
