FEDERATED INVESTORS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim financial statements of Federated Investors included herein
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect
all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a
fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.
In preparing the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results will differ
from such estimates and such differences may be material to the financial
statements.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31,
1997.
(b) PRO FORMA INFORMATION
On May 19, 1998, Federated Investors was merged with and into Federated
Investors, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary. All outstanding Class A and
Class B common shares of Federated Investors were exchanged for an equal
number of shares of no par Class A and Class B common stock of Federated
Investors, Inc., respectively, with the same proportionate ownership and
substantially similar rights, and all treasury stock of Federated
Investors was retired. All information contained in this report is for
Federated Investors except for noted proforma information.
As a condition precedent to the merger described above, Federated
Investors, Inc. issued an additional 2,610,000 shares of Class B common
stock in an initial public offering for net proceeds of $46.5 million in
cash. At March 31, 1998, issued and outstanding shares of Class B common
stock, after taking into account the public offering, was 86,337,000 and
Total Shareholders' Equity was $25,683,000. Pro forma basic and diluted
earnings per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 1997 was $0.61
and $0.60, and the three month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 was
$0.25 and $0.24 and $0.11 and $0.11, respectively.
(c) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
In 1998, Federated Investors adopted Statement of Financial Standards
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), which requires
companies to report all changes in equity during a period, except those
resulting from investment by owners and distribution to owners, in a
financial statement for the period in which they are recognized.
Comprehensive income was $20.8 million and $8.7 million at March 31, 1998
and 1997, respectively.
(d) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Statement of Financial Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131") is effective for
financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS
131 is not required to be applied to interim financial statements in the
initial year of its application.
Federated Investors believes that the impact of the adoption of SFAS 131
will not impact the financial position or results of operations.
FEDERATED INVESTORS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
(d) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS, CONTINUED
Statement of Position No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1") was adopted
effective January 1, 1998. SOP 98-1 requires the capitalization of certain
costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software for
internal use. Qualifying software costs are capitalized and amortized over
the estimated useful life of the software. Prior to the adoption of SOP
98-1, software costs were expensed as incurred. Restatement of prior year
financial statements was not required.
(2) Deferred Sales Commissions and Non-Recourse Debt
Federated Investors entered into an agreement in the fourth quarter of
1997 with a third party to sell the rights to the future revenue streams
associated with the 12b-1, shareholder service and CDSC fees of the Class
B shares of various mutual funds it manages. This agreement includes both
an initial sale of existent rights to future revenue streams as well as
establishing a program to sell on a continuous basis the future rights
associated with future revenue streams relating to the ongoing sale of B
shares. For accounting purposes, transactions executed under the agreement
are reflected as financings and nonrecourse debt has been recorded.
The following tables summarize the changes in both the deferred sales
commissions and non-recourse debt as a result of this agreement:

(4) Common and Preferred Stock
On February 20, 1998, the Board of Directors declared a one for one
stock dividend payable on April 15, 1998 to stockholders of record on
March 17, 1998. Also, on April 16, 1998, the Board of Directors declared a
one for two stock dividend payable on April 30, 1998 to stockholders of
record on April 21, 1998. All per share amounts have been restated to
reflect the affect of the stock dividends.
Under the existing Federated Investors' debt agreements dividend
payments on common shares may not exceed $5,000,000 in any fiscal year nor
exceed the sum of $5,000,000 plus 50% of the net income of Federated
Investors during the period from January 1, 1996 to and including the date
of payment. A cash dividend of $0.0208 per share or approximately $1.7
million was paid in the first quarter of 1998 to holders of common shares.
Additionally, a cash dividend of $0.038 per share or $3.2 million was paid
to shareholders on April 30, 1998.
There is no additional dividend paying capacity remaining for the year
1998 after having made the cash dividend payments on April 30, 1998,
unless such restriction is modified or waived by the lenders.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On May 19, 1998, Federated Investors was merged with and into Federated
Investors, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary. All outstanding Class A and
Class B common shares of Federated Investors were exchanged for an equal
number of shares of no par Class A and Class B common stock of Federated
Investors, Inc. with the same proportionate ownership and substantially
the same rights, and all treasury stock of Federated Investors was
retired. All information contained within this report is for Federated
Investors except for noted pro forma information.
Concurrently with the consummation of the merger on May 19, 1998 between
Federated Investors and the wholly owned subsidiary, Federated Investors,
Inc., (the "Company"), the Company completed its initial public offering
of Class B Common Stock. The net proceeds of $46.5 million received by the
Company in the sale of 2,610,000 shares of Class B Common Stock will be
used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THE
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997
NET INCOME. Continued revenue growth raised Federated Investors'
consolidated net income for the first quarter to $20.8 million, or $0.25
per diluted common share. The 1998 results compare with net income of $8.8
million, or $0.11 per diluted common share in the first quarter of 1997.
The improved performance was principally the result of revenue growth of
$31.0 million, largely generated from higher levels of Managed and
Administered Assets.
REVENUE. Federated Investors consolidated revenue increased 33.8% to
$122.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 from $91.6 million for
the same period in 1997. This increase is primarily attributable to higher
fees produced from an increase in average Managed Assets. Average Managed
Assets increased 23.4% from $77.1 billion for the first quarter of 1997 to
$95.1 billion for the first quarter of 1998, including a 56.2% increase in
equity funds, a 22.6% increase in money market funds, a 9.2% increase in
fixed income funds and a 10.9% increase in separate accounts. Interest and
dividends more than doubled as a result of higher levels of invested cash.
Other income improved $2.7 million due to a servicing contract buyout of a
bank-sponsored mutual fund complex of $2.5 million. This servicing
contract accounted for approximately $0.5 million of administrative and
other service fee revenue in the first quarter of 1998.
OPERATING EXPENSES. Total operating expenses increased from $70.1
million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $82.7 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998, an increase of $12.6 million or 17.9%.
Compensation and related expenses increased $4.0 million or 11.9% from
$33.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 to $37.5 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 1998. The increase was attributed to an
increase in variable based compensation and staff growth experienced
within the areas of investment research and other service areas and was
partially offset by reductions resulting from the outsourcing of the
portfolio accounting function.
Amortization of deferred sales commissions increased from $4.5 million
for the first quarter of 1997 to $5.2 million for the same period of 1998,
an increase of $0.7 million or 14.4%. This increase was due to the
continued sale of shares of funds which require Federated Investors to
advance a commission to the broker/dealers.
Advertising and promotional expenses increased from $8.8 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1997 to $11.4 million for the quarter ended March
31, 1998, an increase of $2.6 million or 29.6%, primarily as a result of
higher levels of marketing allowances being paid to brokers and bank
clients for retailing efforts of marketing funds, as well as increased
spending in advertising and promotional expense to build company name
awareness.
Other expenses increased $4.3 million or 97.7% from $4.4 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1997 to $8.7 million for the quarter ended March
31, 1998. This increase is primarily attributable to fees paid for the
outsourcing of portfolio accounting services. In 1997, Federated Investors
performed the portfolio accounting services internally.
Amortization of intangible assets increased by $842 thousand (28.7%)
from $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $3.8
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The increase in the
amortization of intangible assets occurred as a result of an acquisition
in the second quarter of 1997.
NONOPERATING EXPENSES. Nonoperating expenses increased by $1.1 million
or 20.6% to $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as
compared to $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. This
increase is attributable to the interest expense recognized relative to
nonrecourse debt incurred for the securitization of certain B share fund
assets.
MINORITY INTEREST. The minority interest increased from $1.9 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $2.0 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 as a result of higher net income for the subsidiary
for which Federated Investors acts as the general partner with a majority
interest of 50.5%.
INCOME TAXES. The income tax provision for the quarter ended March 31,
1998 was $10.9 million as compared to $5.7 million for the first quarter
of 1997, an increase of $5.2 million or 92.6%. This increase was due
primarily to the increase in the level of income before income taxes from
$14.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $31.7 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1998, an increase of 118.8%.
DEFERRED SALES COMMISSIONS AND NONRECOURSE DEBT
Certain subsidiaries of Federated Investors pay commissions to
broker/dealers (deferred sales commissions) to promote investments in
certain mutual funds. For mutual fund shares sold under such marketing
programs, Federated Investors retains certain fees from the mutual fund
over the outstanding life of such shares. These fees consist of 12b-1,
shareholder service and contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) fees. Both
12b-1 and shareholder service fees are calculated as a percentage of
Average Managed Assets associated with the related classes of shares. If
shares are redeemed before the end of a specified holding period as
outlined in the related mutual fund prospectus, the mutual fund
shareholder is normally required to pay Federated Investors a CDSC fee
based on a percentage of the assets redeemed, such percentage diminishing
over a recovery schedule not to exceed six years.
The up front commissions Federated Investors pays to broker/dealers are
capitalized and recorded as deferred sales commissions and are amortized
over the estimated benefit period not to exceed CDSC periods. 12b-1 and
shareholder service fees are recognized in the income statement over the
life of the mutual fund class share. Any CDSC fees collected are used to
reduce Deferred Sales Commissions.
In the fourth quarter of 1997, Federated Investors entered into an
agreement to sell certain of the future fee revenue associated with its
existing B Shares Deferred Sales Commissions. This agreement also provided
for Federated Investors to sell, on a regular basis, the rights associated
with such future revenue streams during a three year contract period. For
accounting purposes these agreements have been accounted for as financings
and nonrecourse debt was recorded. The income statement reflects 12b-1 and
shareholder service fees which is included in Other Service Fees, net -
Federated Funds as well as interest expenses associated with the
nonrecourse debt and deferred sales commission amortization.
In the first quarter of 1998, pursuant to the terms of the agreement,
Federated Investors received $33.9 million in cash in exchange for the
rights to certain future revenue streams associated with B share advanced
commissions with a book value of $33.0 million. As of March 31, 1998
Federated Investors had $207.9 million of nonrecourse debt associated with
$192.5 million in book value of deferred sales commission assets.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
CASH FLOW.Cash provided by operating activities totaled $13.2 million
for the first quarter of 1998. The cash flow from operating activities is
primarily utilized for the purchases of equipment, dividend payments, as
well as payments on long term debt.
The recourse debt held by Federated Investors decreased $51 thousand
from December 31, 1997 due to payments on capital leases.
The deferred sales commissions paid to broker/dealers on certain shares
of funds totaled $40.2 million for the first quarter of 1998. Also, in the
first three months of 1998, Federated Investors exchanged for $33.9
million the rights to certain future revenue streams associated with the
class B share advance commission assets with a book value of $33.0
million.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES. Capital expenditures totaled $0.9 million for the
first three months of 1998. Capital expenditures are expected to exceed
$10 million in 1998, exclusive of Year 2000 related project costs.
DIVIDENDS.The Board of Directors of Federated Investors adopted a policy
to declare and pay cash dividends on a quarterly basis. A first quarter
dividend of $0.0208 per common share was paid on January 31, 1998.
Additionally, a second quarter dividend of $0.038 was paid on April 30,
1998. Under the existing Federated Investors' debt agreements there is no
additional dividend paying capacity for the 1998 year unless such
restrictions are modified or waived by the lenders. Federated Investors is
seeking to amend the existing debt agreements to permit the payment of
regular quarterly cash dividends at a level comparable to that paid in the
second quarter of 1998 and to amend certain other covenants and
provisions.
DEBT FACILITIES. Federated Investors has the following recourse debt
facilities: Senior Secured Credit Agreement and Note Purchase Agreement.
SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY. The outstanding balance and amount available to
borrow under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement at March 31, 1998 was
zero and $149.0 million, respectively. The Senior Secured Credit Agreement
contains various financial and other covenants. Federated Investors was in
compliance with all debt covenants at March 31, 1998 and obtained the
consent of the lenders to permit the consummation of the merger on May 19,
1998 and the initial public offering.

totaled $98.0 million as of March 31, 1998. This note is due in seven
annual $14.0 million installments beginning June 27, 2000, and maturing
June 27, 2006. The Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement contains various
covenants with which Federated Investors was in compliance at March 31,
1998.

had capitalized lease obligations totaling $1.2 million related to certain
telephone equipment. The scheduled principal payments approximate $0.2
million per year for 1998 through 2002.
