FEDERATED INVESTORS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Presentation
The interim consolidated financial statements of Federated Investors, Inc.
(Federated) included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of
management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a
normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair statement of the results for
the interim periods presented.
In preparing the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from such
estimates and such differences may be material to the financial statements.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with Federated's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. Certain items
previously reported have been reclassified to conform with the current year's
presentation.
(b) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On April 1, 2001, Federated adopted Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No.
99-20, "Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained
Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets" (EITF 99-20). EITF 99-20
states that interest income earned on retained or purchased beneficial interests
in securitized financial assets should be recognized over the life of the
investment based on an anticipated yield determined by periodically estimating
cash flows. Interest income should be revised prospectively for changes in cash
flows. Additionally, impairment should be recognized if the fair value of the
beneficial interest has declined below its carrying amount and the decline is
other than temporary. Because the book value of Federated's asset-backed
securities was less than or equal to the fair value of those investments on
April 1, 2001, Federated did not recognize a transition adjustment as a result
of adopting this statement.
On July 20, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations," and No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Statement 141 eliminates the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001, and clarifies the criteria to recognize intangible assets
separately from goodwill. This statement is effective for all business
combinations completed after June 30, 2001.
Under Statement 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives
are no longer amortized but are reviewed at least annually for impairment.
Federated will adopt Statement 142 on January 1, 2002, in accordance with its
effective date for calendar year companies. As a result of adopting this
standard, Federated anticipates that annual amortization expense will decrease
by approximately $6 million.
(2) Long-Term Debt - Recourse
Federated's long-term debt - recourse consisted of the following:

(3) Long-Term Debt - Nonrecourse
Federated sells the rights to receive future 12b-1 fees, shareholder
service fees and contingent deferred sales charges on Class B shares of various
Federated mutual funds. For accounting purposes, certain transactions executed
under the sales agreements are reflected as financings, and various tranches of
nonrecourse debt have been recorded. Below is the activity of the nonrecourse
debt tranches:

(4) Common Stock
(a) Cash Dividends and Stock Repurchases
Federated's recourse debt agreements contain restrictions on payments of
dividends and purchases of treasury stock. The more restrictive of the
agreements limits cash payments for these purposes to $5.0 million plus 50% of
net income during the period from January 1, 1996, to and including the payment
date, less certain payments for dividends and stock repurchases. As of June 30,
2001, approximately $71.6 million was available to pay dividends or repurchase
stock under the more restrictive limitation.
Cash dividends of $0.037 and $0.046 per share or approximately $4.3 million
and $5.4 million were paid in the first and second quarter of 2001,
respectively, to holders of common shares. Additionally, on July 24, 2001, the
board of directors declared a dividend of $0.046 per share to be paid on August
15, 2001, to shareholders of record as of August 7, 2001.
As of June 30, 2001, under Federated's current share buyback program,
Federated can repurchase approximately 3.6 million additional shares subject to
the cash payment limit imposed by Federated's debt covenants.
(4) Common Stock (continued)
(b) Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Federated offers an Employee Stock Purchase Plan that allows employees to
purchase a maximum of 750,000 shares of Class B common stock. Employees may
contribute up to 10% of their salary to purchase shares of Federated's Class B
common stock on a quarterly basis at the market price. The shares under the plan
may be newly issued shares, treasury shares or shares purchased on the open
market. As of June 30, 2001, a total of 41,622 shares had been purchased by
employees in this plan.
(5) Earnings Per Share
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted
earnings per share:

(6) Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income was $42.7 million and $34.3 million for the
three-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and $83.1
million and $71.6 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and
2000, respectively.
(7) Business Combination
On April 20, 2001, Federated completed the acquisition of substantially all
of the business of Edgemont Asset Management Corporation, the former advisor of
The Kaufmann Fund. The purchase price for this acquisition was approximately
$182 million. This price included cash payments of approximately $173 million,
including transaction costs, and approximately 316,000 shares of Federated Class
B common stock valued at approximately $9 million. The acquisition agreement
provides for additional purchase price payments and incentive compensation
payments based upon the achievement of specified revenue growth over the next
six years. These payments could aggregate to approximately $200 million if
revenue targets are met.
This acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting
and, accordingly, the fair value of the assets acquired, approximately $77
million of intangible assets and $105 million of goodwill, as well as the
results of those assets were included in Federated's consolidated financial
statements beginning on the date of acquisition. The amount assigned to
intangible assets represents the fair value of the advisory contract, the
noncompete agreement and the workforce as of April 20, 2001. These assets are
being amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives which range
from 4 to 10 years. Acquired goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line
basis over 25 years. Upon adoption of SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002 (see footnote
(1)(b)), Federated will no longer amortize goodwill.
The following unaudited pro forma data for Federated includes the results
of the assets purchased from Edgemont Asset Management Corporation, giving
effect to the acquisition as if it occurred at the beginning of the periods
presented. The pro forma data is based on historical information and does not
reflect the actual results that would have occurred nor is it indicative of
future results of operations.

The discussion and analysis below should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report. We have
presumed that the readers of this interim financial information have read or
have access to management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations appearing in Federated's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2000.
Results of Operations
General. Federated is a leading provider of investment management products
and related financial services. The majority of our revenue is derived from
advising, distributing and servicing Federated mutual funds, separately managed
accounts and other related products, in both domestic and international markets.
We also derive revenue through servicing third-party mutual funds.
Investment advisory, distribution and the majority of our servicing fees
are based on the net asset value of investment portfolios that we manage or
administer. As such, these revenues are dependent upon factors including market
conditions and the ability to attract and maintain assets. Accordingly, revenues
will fluctuate with changes in the total value and composition of the assets
under management or administration.
The table below presents the highlights of our operations for the three-
and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
June 30, Percent June 30, Percent
2001 2000 Change Change 2001 2000 Change Change

Net Income. Net income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30,
2001, increased 17% and 14%, respectively, compared to the same periods last
year. The increases primarily reflect increased revenue from managed assets as a
result of significant growth in money market fund assets and the acquisition of
substantially all of the business of Edgemont Asset Management Corporation on
April 20, 2001 (the Edgemont Acquisition). Diluted earnings per share for the
three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001, increased 20% and 17%,
respectively, compared to the same periods of 2000 due to increased net income
and reduced weighted-average diluted shares outstanding resulting from stock
repurchases during 2000 and the first half of 2001.
Revenue. Revenue for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001,
increased $12.6 million and $15.1 million, respectively, as compared to the same
periods of 2000 as a result of growth in Federated's managed assets and the
Edgemont Acquisition. Total average managed assets climbed from $124.9 billion
for the second quarter 2000 to $156.8 billion for the second quarter of 2001 and
from $125.2 billion for the first half of 2000 to $151.7 billion for the first
half of 2001. These increases reflect significant growth in Federated's money
market funds, which continued to benefit from the interest rate environment, the
tendency of investors to increase their allocation to cash during periods of
significant equity market fluctuations and an increase in customer relationships
among corporations, universities, government entities and broker/dealer
organizations. Revenue from managed assets increased as a result of growth in
average assets, but to a lesser degree than the growth in assets due to a shift
in asset mix from equity products, which earn on average higher fees per
invested dollar, to money market funds. Other revenue for the three- and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2001, decreased compared to the same periods
last year. The decreases primarily reflect a decrease in interest and dividend
income resulting from lower investment balances as a result of cash used for the
Edgemont Acquisition and a decrease in investment yields since June 2000. The
decreases in other revenue also reflect a servicing contract buyout that was
recorded in the second quarter 2000.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the three- and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 are set forth in the following table:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
June 30, Percent June 30, Percent
(in millions) 2001 2000 Change Change 2001 2000 Change Change

Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the three- and six-month periods ended June
30, 2001, were generally flat as compared to the same periods last year,
however, individual expenses fluctuated as a result of movements in asset
classes and the Edgemont Acquisition. Certain expenses such as marketing
allowances (included in Advertising and promotional) increased during these
periods as compared to the prior year due to significant asset growth, while
other expenses such as amortization of deferred sales commissions decreased
during these periods as compared to the prior year primarily as a result of
decreased net asset values of equity fund assets. Amortization of intangible
assets increased in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 as
compared to the same periods of 2000 as a result of the Edgemont Acquisition.
Income Taxes. The income tax provision for the three- and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2001, was $23.9 million and $47.4 million, respectively, as
compared to $20.2 million and $41.6 million for the same periods of 2000. The
effective tax rate was 35.8% and 35.6% for the second quarter 2001 and 2000,
respectively, and 35.9% for both the first half of 2001 and 2000.
Financial Condition, Capital Resources and Liquidity
Deferred Sales Commissions and Nonrecourse Debt. Federated finances
up-front commissions paid to broker/dealers on the sale of B shares through the
sale of the rights to future revenue streams associated with B-share deferred
sales commissions. Under Federated's first B-share financing arrangement that
expired September 30, 2000, sales were accounted for as financings for reporting
purposes and nonrecourse debt was recorded. In October 2000, as a result of
entering into a new financing arrangement, Federated began accounting for the
sale of certain B-share-related future revenue streams as true sales and
continued to account for the sale of the rights to future servicing fees on the
B shares as financings. Consequently, beginning in October, additions to the
deferred sales commission and nonrecourse debt balances result only from the
sale of future servicing fees on the B shares. Prior to this new financing
arrangement and related accounting treatment, the deferred sales commission and
nonrecourse debt balances were increased for the sale of all future fees on the
B shares.
In the first half of 2001, deferred sales commissions related to B shares
and nonrecourse debt decreased $31.6 million and $33.0 million, respectively.
These decreases reflect continued asset amortization and debt servicing
partially offset by additions to the asset and nonrecourse debt balances for new
sales of rights to B-share-related future servicing fees. The following table
presents the effects of the B-share financing programs on the Consolidated
Balance Sheets at June 30, 2001, and December 31, 2000:
At June 30, At December 31,
(in millions) 2001 2000
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Assets
Deferred sales commissions, net* $273.9 $305.5
Receivables 6.6 7.5
Other assets 1.3 2.6
Liabilities
Long-term debt - nonrecourse $290.8 $323.8
Accounts payable 5.4 6.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Excludes deferred sales commissions related to B-share revenue streams that
have not been sold as of the end of the period due to the timing of the
sale of the revenue streams.
Due to the nonrecourse nature of these financing arrangements, the $14.4
million excess of B-share-related liabilities over the related assets at June
30, 2001, will be recognized in income over the remaining life of certain
B-share cash flows.
Shareholders' Equity. Shareholders' equity increased by $68.7 million in
the first six months of 2001 primarily as a result of net income and treasury
stock issuances related to the Edgemont Acquisition, partially offset by
treasury stock purchases and dividends declared. During the first six months of
2001, Federated continued to purchase shares of Class B common stock under the
stock repurchase program. As of June 30, 2001, Federated can repurchase
approximately 3.6 million additional shares under the current company buy back
program, subject to current debt-covenant restrictions which limit cash payments
for additional stock repurchases and dividends to $66.2 million after
considering earnings through June 30, 2001, the dividend payment on August 15,
2001, and certain stock repurchases.
Cash Flow. Cash and cash equivalents and the current portion of securities
available for sale totaled $90.7 million at June 30, 2001, as compared to $235.2
million at December 31, 2000. This decrease is primarily due to cash used in the
second quarter 2001 to complete the Edgemont Acquisition.
Cash provided by operating activities totaled $115.6 million for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2001, as compared to $53.9 million for the same
period of 2000. This increase is primarily attributable to a decrease in sales
commissions paid to brokers due to reduced sales of B shares, the sales
treatment of the B-share transaction and, to a lesser extent, to increased
profitability in 2001. Net cash used by investing activities in the first six
months of 2001 reflects cash paid for the Edgemont Acquisition, partially offset
by proceeds from the sale of certain investments held by Federated in
anticipation of the acquisition. Other uses of cash flow from operating
activities in the first half of 2001 included payments on debt, the purchase of
treasury stock, dividend payments and distributions to the minority interest
partner.
Business Combination. On April 20, 2001, Federated completed the
acquisition of substantially all of the business of Edgemont Asset Management
Corporation, the former advisor of The Kaufmann Fund. The purchase price for
this acquisition was approximately $182 million. This price included cash
payments of approximately $173 million, including transaction costs, and
approximately 316,000 shares of Federated Class B common stock valued at
approximately $9 million. The acquisition agreement provides for additional
purchase price payments and incentive compensation payments based upon the
achievement of specified revenue growth over the next six years. These payments
could aggregate to approximately $200 million if revenue targets are met
This acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting
and, accordingly, the fair value of the assets acquired, approximately $77
million of intangible assets and $105 million of goodwill, as well as the
results of those assets were included in Federated's consolidated financial
statements beginning on the date of acquisition. The amount assigned to
intangible assets represents the fair value of the advisory contract, the
noncompete contract and the workforce as of April 20, 2001. These assets are
being amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives which range
from 4 to 10 years. Acquired goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line
basis over 25 years. Upon adoption of SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002 (see footnote
(1)(b)), Federated will no longer amortize goodwill.
Dividends paid. Federated pays cash dividends on a quarterly basis.
Dividends of $0.037 and $0.046 per share, or $4.3 million and $5.4 million, were
paid in the first and second quarter of 2001, respectively. Federated's board of
directors declared a dividend of $0.046 per share to be paid on August 15, 2001,
to shareholders of record as of August 7, 2001. After considering earnings
through June 30, 2001, the dividend payment on August 15, 2001, certain stock
repurchases, and current debt covenants, Federated has the ability to pay cash
for dividends and stock repurchases of approximately $66.2 million.
Future Cash Requirements. Management expects that the principal needs for
cash will be to advance sales commissions, repurchase company stock, service
recourse debt, fund property and equipment acquisitions, pay shareholder
dividends, seed new products and fund strategic business acquisitions.
Management believes that Federated's existing liquid assets, together with the
expected continuing cash flow from operations, its borrowing capacity under
current credit facilities, the B-share financing arrangement and its ability to
issue stock will be sufficient to meet its present and reasonably foreseeable
cash needs.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. On April 1, 2001, Federated adopted
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-20, "Recognition of Interest Income and
Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized
Financial Assets" (EITF 99-20). EITF 99-20 states that interest income earned on
retained or purchased beneficial interests in securitized financial assets
should be recognized over the life of the investment based on an anticipated
yield determined by periodically estimating cash flows. Interest income should
be revised prospectively for changes in cash flows. Additionally, impairment
should be recognized if the fair value of the beneficial interest has declined
below its carrying amount and the decline is other than temporary. Because the
book value of Federated's asset-backed securities was less than or equal to the
fair value of those investments on April 1, 2001, Federated did not recognize a
transition adjustment as a result of adopting this statement.
On July 20, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations," and No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Statement 141 eliminates the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001, and clarifies the criteria to recognize intangible assets
separately from goodwill. This Statement is effective for all business
combinations completed after June 30, 2001.
Under Statement 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives
are no longer amortized but are reviewed at least annually for impairment.
Federated will adopt Statement 142 on January 1, 2002, in accordance with its
effective date for calendar year companies. As a result of adopting this
standard, Federated anticipates that annual amortization expense will decrease
by approximately $6 million.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information. Certain statements
under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations" included in Future Cash Requirements and elsewhere in this
report, constitute forward-looking statements, which involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause the actual results,
levels of activity, performance, achievements, or industry results, to be
materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For a
discussion of such risk factors, see the section titled Risk Factors and
Cautionary Statements in Federated's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2000, and other reports on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, no
assurance can be given as to future results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements, and neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the
accuracy and completeness of such statements.
Part I, Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the normal course of business, Federated is exposed to the risk of
securities market and general economic fluctuations. Federated's approach has
been to limit the use of derivative instruments to hedging activities.
Federated's investments are primarily in money market funds and mutual funds
with investments which have a duration of two years or less. Occasionally, we
invest in new mutual funds (performance seeds) that we sponsor in order to
provide investable cash to the fund allowing the fund to establish a performance
history. Federated may use derivative financial instruments to hedge these
investments. As of June 30, 2001, the fair value of the performance seed
investments was $30.2 million, none of which were being hedged as of the end of
the period.
In addition, as of June 30, 2001, we had investments in high-yield
asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities that are included in
"Securities available for sale" and "Other long-term assets" on the Consolidated
Balance Sheets. These investments expose Federated to credit and interest rate
risk. In periods of either rising default rates or interest rates, the carrying
value of Federated's investments in asset-backed securities may be adversely
affected by unfavorable changes in cash flow estimates, declines in the value of
the underlying fixed-rate securities, and increased expected returns. All of our
debt instruments carry fixed interest rates.
