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
generally accepted accounting principles. 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 will 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,
1998. Certain items previously reported have been reclassified to
conform with the current year's presentation.

(b) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133), requires that
all derivatives, including hedges, be recorded at fair value and that
all changes in the fair value or cash flow of both the hedge and the
hedged item be recognized in earnings in the same period.

SFAS 133 is effective for years beginning after June 15, 2000. Federated
intends to adopt SFAS 133 effective

January 1, 2001, and does not expect this adoption to have a significant
effect on earnings or the financial position of Federated based on the current
minimal use of derivatives.

(2) Securitization of B Share Assets and Nonrecourse Debt

Federated sells the rights to the future revenue streams associated
with the 12b-1, shareholder service and contingent deferred sales
charges (CDSC) fees of the Class B Shares of various mutual funds it
manages on a continuous basis. For accounting purposes, transactions
executed under the agreement are reflected as financings and nonrecourse
debt has been recorded at interest rates based on current market
conditions at the time of the financings.

(4) Common Stock

(a) Initial Public Offering and Subsequent Merger

On May 19, 1998, Federated Investors was merged with and into Federated
Investors, Inc., its 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.

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 cash proceeds of
approximately $46.2 million.

(b) Dividends

Federated's Senior Secured Credit Agreement allows dividends in an
amount not to exceed $20 million plus 50% of any net income (less 100%
of any loss) of Federated less any stock repurchase payments during the
period from January 1, 1998 to and including the date of payment. The
Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement allows dividends to an amount of
$5 million plus 50% of any net income (less 100% of any loss) of
Federated during the period from January 1, 1996 to and including the
date of payment. Cash dividends of $0.038 and $0.042 per share or
approximately $3.3 million and $3.6 million, were paid in the first and
second quarter of 1999, respectively, to holders of common shares.
Additionally, on July 20, 1999, the board of directors declared a
dividend of $0.042 per share to be paid on August 13, 1999, to
shareholders of record as of August 2, 1999. After the payment of the
dividend on August 13, 1999, and stock repurchase payments through
August 4, 1999, approximately $39.5 million is available to pay
dividends under the more restrictive of the two debt covenant
limitations.

(c) Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In July 1998, Federated established an Employee Stock Purchase Plan
which allows employees to purchase a maximum of 500,000 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 or
may be shares purchased on the open market. As of June 30, 1999, 9,333
shares have been purchased by employees in this plan.

(d) Stock Repurchase Program

On January 26, 1999, the board of directors approved a share
repurchase program authorizing Federated to purchase up to $20.0 million
of Federated Class B common stock over the next 12 months in open market
transactions. On July 20, 1999, a second share repurchase program was
approved by the board authorizing Federated to purchase an additional
five million shares of Federated Class B common stock in open market and
private transactions over the next 12 months. The programs authorize
executive management to determine the timing and the amount of shares
for each purchase. The stock will be held in treasury for employee
benefit plans, potential acquisitions and other corporate activities. As
of June 30, 1999, Federated had purchased 900,200 shares of Class B
common stock for approximately $14.8 million under the first program. As
of August 4, 1999, Federated has expended the total allowable amount of
$20.0 million with the purchase of 1,184,653 shares of Class B common
stock under the first program and has repurchased an additional 701,147
shares of Class B common stock for $13.3 million under the second
program.

In preparing the discussion and analysis below, Federated has presumed
that the readers of the interim financial information have read or have
access to Federated's discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations contained in Federated's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THE
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

NET INCOME. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was
$30.5 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, as compared to $21.1 million,
or $0.24 per diluted share for the same period in 1998. Net income for
the second quarter 1999 included a non-recurring $1.9 million after-tax
gain on the sale of certain non-earning assets. Excluding the effect of
this gain, Federated would have realized net income of $28.6 million or
$0.33 per diluted common share for the second quarter 1999.

REVENUE. Federated's consolidated revenue increased $24.0 million, or
19.0%, to $150.2 million for the second quarter 1999 from $126.2 million
for the same period in 1998. Revenue from managed assets increased $20.0
million, or 18.0%, due principally to the 20.7% increase in average
managed assets to $118.0 billion for the second quarter 1999 from $97.8
billion for the second quarter 1998, including increases of 21.2%, 22.5%
7.3%, and 87.0% in money market funds, equity funds, fixed income funds,
and separate accounts, respectively. The large percentage increase in
separate accounts is predominantly due to the assets associated with the
newly formed joint venture in Germany and the collateralized bond
obligation. Service-related revenues from sources other than managed
assets decreased by $0.5 million due primarily to the 36.5% reduction in
average administered assets from $54.4 billion for the second quarter
1998 to $34.6 billion for the second quarter 1999, resulting from the
termination of service contracts in 1998. Interest and dividends
increased by $1.2 million, or 57.6%, over the prior year second quarter
as a result of higher levels of invested cash resulting from cash
generated from operations and to a lesser extent, the net proceeds from
Federated's initial public offering in May 1998. Other income increased
$3.0 million, or 205%, from $1.5 million for the second quarter 1998 to
$4.5 million for the same period in 1999 as a result of a non-recurring
gain realized on the sale of certain non-earning assets in the second
quarter 1999.

OPERATING EXPENSES. Total operating expenses were $91.7 million for the
second quarter 1999 as compared to $83.0 million for the second quarter
1998, an increase of $8.7 million, or 10.4%. Expense management
continues to be a major focus for Federated, with expense increases
largely attributable to increases in variable expenses due to continued
sales and the resultant growth in assets under management as well as
higher levels of profitability. As a result, expense growth has been
contained at levels substantially below the 19.0% increase in revenues
and, accordingly, operating margins have improved to 37.7% for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999 (excluding the effect of the non-recurring
sale of non-earning assets) from 34.2% for the same period in 1998.

Compensation and related expenses were $38.8 million for the second
quarter 1999 as compared to $37.3 million for the same period in 1998.
This increase of $1.5 million, or 4.2% is due principally to salary
increases for employees over the prior year as well as the resulting
increases in payroll taxes and retirement plan matching contributions.

Advertising and promotional expenses were $12.7 million for the second
quarter 1999 as compared to $9.7 million for the second quarter 1998.
This increase of $3.0 million, or 30.8% reflects higher levels of
marketing allowances being paid to brokers and bank clients for
retailing efforts of marketing funds.

Office and occupancy expenses were $6.3 million in the second quarter
1999 as compared to $7.3 million in the same period of 1998. This
decrease of $1.0 million or 13.9% is largely attributable to reduced
rent expense for leased office space as a result of the consolidation of
certain servicing functions and the ultimate reduction in leased office
space in late 1998. The decrease also reflects decreased depreciation
expense attributable to the retirement of certain property and equipment
in the fourth quarter 1998.

Professional service fees were $6.9 million for the second quarter 1999
as compared to $3.1 million for the same period in 1998. This increase
of $3.8 million, or 120.2% is largely due to increased service fees
related to subcontracted portfolio accounting services as well as
increased legal and consulting fees related to the German joint venture,
Year 2000, and other system related projects.

Amortization of deferred sales commissions was $11.6 million for the
second quarter 1999 as compared to $9.5 million for the same period in
1998. This increase of $2.1 million, or 22.2% is due to higher levels of
deferred sales commissions as a result of the continued sale of shares
of funds which require Federated to advance commissions to the broker /
dealers.

Other expenses were $1.6 million for the second quarter 1999 as compared to
$2.0 million for the second quarter 1998. This decrease of $0.4 million or 22.2%
is predominantly attributable to the rebate of certain non-income related taxes.

NONOPERATING EXPENSES. Nonoperating expenses were $7.9 million for the
second quarter 1999 as compared to $6.8 million for the same period of
1998. This increase of $1.1 million or 16.5% reflects an increase in
interest expense recognized relative to the higher level of nonrecourse
debt incurred as a result of the continued financing of certain future
cash flows related to the B Share fund assets.

MINORITY INTEREST. The minority interest was $2.6 million for the
second quarter 1999 as compared to $2.2 million for the second quarter
1998. This increase of $0.4 million or 17.0% is a result of higher net
income being recorded for the subsidiary for which Federated acts as the
general partner with a majority interest of 50.5%. The increase in
income is attributable to higher average managed assets of the funds
which the subsidiary advises.

INCOME TAXES. The income tax provision for the second quarter 1999 was
$17.5 million as compared to $13.1 million for the second quarter 1998,
an increase of $4.4 million, or 33.6%. This increase is due primarily to
the increase in the level of income before income taxes from $34.2
million for the second quarter 1998 to $48.1 million for the second
quarter 1999, an increase of $13.9 million or 40.5%. The effective tax
rate for the second quarter 1999 and 1998 was 36.5% and 38.4%,
respectively.
RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THE SIX
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

NET INCOME for the first six months of 1999 was $57.2 million, or $0.66
per diluted share, compared with net income of $41.9 million, or $0.49
per diluted share, for the same period in 1998. The increase primarily
reflects increased revenues generated from higher levels of average
managed and administered assets and a non-recurring $1.9 million
after-tax gain recorded on the sale of certain non-earning assets.
Excluding the effect of this gain, Federated would have realized net
income of $55.3 million, or $0.63 per diluted share.

REVENUE. Total revenue increased by $42.6 million or 17.1% to $291.4
million in the first six months of 1999 from $248.8 million in the first
six months of 1998. Approximately $40.9 million, or 96.0% of the
increase in total revenue is due to increased average managed assets.
Average managed assets increased $19.7 billion or 20.4% from $96.4
billion for the first six months of 1998 to $116.1 billion for the same
period in 1999, including increases of 21.2%, 24.0%, 8.2%, and 60.3% in
money market funds, equity funds, fixed income funds, and separate
accounts, respectively. The large percentage increase in separate
accounts is predominantly due to the assets associated with the newly
formed joint venture in Germany and the collateralized bond obligation.
Service related revenues from sources other than managed assets
decreased by approximately $2.7 million due primarily to a decrease in
average administered assets. Average administered assets decreased $20.2
billion or 38.6% from $52.2 billion for the first six months of 1998 to
$32.0 billion for the same period in 1999, resulting from the
termination of service contracts in 1998. Interest and dividends
increased by $2.9 million as a result of higher levels of invested cash
from cash generated from operations and to a lesser extent, the net
proceeds from the initial public offering. Other income improved $0.8
million and in the first six months of 1999 included a non-recurring
$3.0 million gain from the sale of certain non-earning assets while in
the first six months of 1998 included $2.5 million of income from a
servicing contract buyout of a bank-sponsored mutual fund complex.

OPERATING EXPENSES. Total operating expenses increased to $180.9
million for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 from $165.7 million
for the same period in 1998, an increase of $15.2 million or 9.2%.

Compensation and related expenses were $77.9 million for the first six
months of 1999 as compared to $74.8 million for the same period in 1998.
This increase of $3.1 million or 4.2% is mainly attributable to an
increase in employee salaries over the prior year and resultant
increases in payroll taxes and retirement plan expenses.

Advertising and promotional expenses were $25.6 million for the first
six months of 1999 as compared to $20.9 million for the same period in
1998. This increase of $4.7 million or 22.2% is primarily the result of
higher levels of marketing allowances being paid to brokers and bank
clients for retailing efforts of marketing funds.

Systems and communications expenses were $13.8 million for the first
six months of 1999 as compared to $13.1 million for the same period in
1998. This increase of $0.7 million or 5.5% is primarily due to new
computer hardware leasing agreements and increased costs to third-party
system vendors in the first half of 1999.

Office and occupancy expenses were $12.7 million for the first six
months of 1999 as compared to $13.9 million for the first six months of
1998. The decrease of $1.2 million or 8.8% is primarily attributable to
reduced rent expense for leased office space as a result of the
consolidation of certain servicing functions and the ultimate reduction
in leased office space in late 1998.

Professional service fees expenses were $12.8 million for the first six
months of 1999 as compared to $8.7 million for the same period in 1998.
The increase of $4.1 million or 47.2% is largely the result of increased
service fees related to subcontracted portfolio accounting services, as
well as increased legal and consulting fees related to the German joint
venture, Year 2000, and other system related projects.

Amortization of deferred sales commissions were $21.9 million for the
first six months of 1999 as compared to $14.7 million for the same
period in 1998. This increase of $7.2 million or 48.8% is due to higher
levels of deferred sales commissions as a result of the continued sale
of shares of funds which require the Company to advance a commission to
the broker/dealers.

Other expenses were $2.0 million for the first six months of 1999 as
compared to $5.3 million for the first six months of 1998. This decrease
of $3.3 million or 62.9% is primarily attributable to the reduction of
bad debt expense as a result of improved collection of accounts
receivable and the rebate of certain non-income related taxes.

NONOPERATING EXPENSES. Nonoperating expenses were $15.6 million for the
first six months of 1999 as compared to $12.9 million for the same
period in 1998, an increase of $2.7 million or 20.5%. This increase is
primarily due to increased interest expense attributable to higher
average nonrecourse debt levels incurred for the securitization of
certain B share fund assets.

MINORITY INTEREST. The minority interest increased to $5.0 million for
the first six months of 1999 from $4.2 million for the same period in
1998 as a result of higher net income for the subsidiary for which the
Company acts as the general partner with a majority interest of 50.5%.
The increase in income is attributable to higher average managed assets
of the funds advised by the subsidiary.

INCOME TAXES. The income tax provision for the six month period ended
June 30, 1999 was $32.7 million as compared to $24.0 million for the
same period in 1998, an increase of $8.7 million or 35.9%. This increase
was due primarily to the 36.3% increase in the level of income before
income taxes from $65.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998
to $89.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The effective
tax rate for the six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 were
36.3% and 36.5%, respectively.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

CASH FLOW. Cash provided by operating activities totaled $37.8 million
for the first six months of 1999 as compared to $18.5 million for the
first six months of 1998. The increase is largely attributable to
increased profitability. Cash flows from operating activities for the
first six months of 1999 were primarily utilized for purchases of
securities available for sale, purchases of property and equipment,
dividend payments, distributions to the minority interest, the
repurchase of treasury stock as well as payments on long-term debt.
Purchases of securities available for sale in the first six months of
1999 included Federated's $11.0 million investment in subordinated notes
of a collateralized bond obligation (CBO). Federated purchased the
subordinated notes, which are classified as "Other long-term assets" in
the Consolidated Balance Sheets, in the second quarter of 1999.

DEFERRED SALES COMMISSIONS AND NONRECOURSE DEBT. Certain subsidiaries
of Federated 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 retains
certain distribution and servicing 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 a CDSC fee based on a
percentage of the lower of the current market value or the original cost
basis of the redeemed shares, such percentage diminishing over a
recovery schedule not to exceed six years.

For non-B Share related sales, the up-front commissions Federated pays
to broker / dealers are capitalized, recorded as deferred sales
commissions and amortized over the estimated benefit period not to
exceed CDSC periods. The 12b-1 and shareholder service fees are
recognized in the statements of income over the life of the mutual fund
class share. Any CDSC fees collected are used to reduce the deferred
sales commission asset.

For B Share related sales, Federated has agreed to sell, on a regular
basis over a three-year contract period terminating in 2000, the rights
associated with certain of the future fee revenue associated with the
deferred sales commissions. For accounting purposes, the sales of the
future cash flow rights have been accounted for as financings and
nonrecourse debt was recorded.
The following table demonstrates the effects of the B Share financing
program on both the Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 1999 and
December 31, 1998, and the Consolidated Statements of Income for the
three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998:

* EXCLUDES DEFERRED SALES COMMISSIONS RELATED TO B SHARE REVENUE STREAMS WHICH
HAVE NOT BEEN FINANCED AS OF THE END OF THE PERIOD DUE TO THE TIMING OF THE SALE
OF THE REVENUE STREAMS TO THE THIRD PARTY.

Due to the nonrecourse nature of this financing arrangement, the $17.5
million excess of B Share-related liabilities over the related assets at
June 30, 1999, will be recognized in income over the remaining life of
the B Share cash flows.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES. Capital expenditures totaled $14.0 million for the
first six months of 1999, which excludes Year 2000-related project costs
described below.

DIVIDENDS. Federated's board of directors adopted a policy in 1998 to
declare and pay cash dividends on a quarterly basis. A dividend of
$0.042 per share was paid in the second quarter of 1999. On July 20,
1999, Federated's board of directors declared a dividend of $0.042 per
share to be paid on August 13, 1999 to registered shareholders as of
August 2, 1999. After the payment of the dividend on August 13, 1999,
and stock repurchase payments through August 4, 1999, and given current
debt covenants, Federated, has the ability to pay dividends of
approximately $39.5 million.

DEBT FACILITIES. Federated has the following recourse debt facilities:
Senior Secured Credit Agreement and Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement.

SENIOR SECURED CREDIT AGREEMENT: At June 30, 1999, the outstanding
balance under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement was zero with an
amount available to borrow of $150.0 million. The Senior Secured Credit
Agreement contains various financial and other covenants. Federated was
in compliance with all debt covenants at June 30, 1999.

SENIOR SECURED NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT: The Senior Secured Note
Purchase Agreement debt totaled $98.0 million as of June 30, 1999. The
notes are due in seven annual $14.0 million installments beginning June
27, 2000, and maturing June 27, 2006. Federated was in compliance with
all debt covenants at June 30, 1999.

CAPITALIZED LEASE OBLIGATIONS. At June 30, 1999, Federated had
capitalized lease obligations totaling $0.8 million related to certain
telephone equipment. The scheduled principal payments approximate $0.2
million per year for 1999 through 2002.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY. In May 1998, Federated Investors was merged with
and into Federated Investors, Inc., its 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. All treasury
stock of Federated Investors was retired, and additional paid-in capital
was transferred to the no par Class A and Class B Common Stock of
Federated Investors, Inc. based on their relative proportionate values
immediately prior to the merger.

Also in May 1998, Federated issued an additional 2,610,000 shares of
Class B Common Stock in an initial public offering for net proceeds of
approximately $46.2 million in cash.

FUTURE CASH REQUIREMENTS. Management expects that the principal needs
for cash will be to repurchase company stock, pay shareholder dividends,
advance sales commissions, service debt 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, its B Share
financing arrangement and its ability to issue stock will be sufficient
to meet its present and reasonably foreseeable cash needs.

YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE. Many existing information technology
(IT) products and systems and non-IT products and systems containing
embedded processor technology were originally programmed to represent
any date by using six digits (e.g., 12/31/99), as opposed to eight
digits (e.g., 12/31/1999). Accordingly, such products and systems may
experience miscalculations, malfunctions or disruptions when attempting
to process information containing dates that fall after December 31,
1999 or when attempting to recognize the year 2000 as a leap year. These
potential problems are collectively referred to as the "Year 2000," or
"Y2K" problem. Also, the occurrence of such problems may take place
before the year 2000 if a computer system utilizes future dates during
its processing.

STATE OF READINESS: Computer processing is critical to Federated's
business operations, and the Y2K issue poses a significant potential
risk to operations. Therefore, Federated has established an
enterprise-wide project to address this issue. The project includes four
phases: inventory / assessment, which includes the identification of all
components of Federated's computing environment and the assessment of
Y2K issues for these components; remediation of the Y2K issues
identified in the inventory / assessment phase; testing to ensure that
remediation was successful; and implementation of the modified systems.

The project scope has been divided into four segments which comprise
Federated's computing environment as follows:

o systems developed internally by Federated's IT division - this constitutes
the majority of Federated's Y2K efforts; o mission-critical processing
provided by the funds' service providers;

o other critical aspects of systems and operations within the business units,
including both commercially available computer applications and the
progress of key business partners; and

o embedded systems - for Federated's operations, embedded systems mainly
consist of building systems and office equipment.

As of the end of June 1999, Federated is 100% complete with
inventory/assessment, remediation, internal system testing, and
implementation for all internally supported applications. In addition,
over 90% of Y2K testing of external, interfacing systems is complete.
This testing is expected to be complete by the end of the third quarter
1999.

Remaining work for internal systems includes continued testing with
external partners, finalize IT infrastructure upgrades from vendors, and
complete upgrades to certain desktop software packages. Each of these
efforts is mostly complete with completion targeted for the third
quarter 1999.

Certain mission-critical processing is performed for Federated's funds
by outside service providers, including the transfer agency, portfolio
accounting, and custody functions. Federated has identified these
service providers, is monitoring the progress of these companies in
addressing Y2K issues via progress reports and meetings, and is working
with these service providers to test their systems, as appropriate. As
of the end of the second quarter of 1999, the critical service providers
have reported good progress towards their Y2K readiness. Further,
Federated's acceptance testing has been successful.

For business unit operations, most vendor-provided applications have
been upgraded for Y2K compliance. Completion of this effort is expected
by the end of August. Critical business partners have been contacted
regarding their Y2K readiness and their efforts are being monitored. All
property managers for Federated's facilities have been contacted. These
firms state that most remediation and testing for building systems is
complete. The remaining work will be monitored during the rest of 1999.

Additionally, Federated participated in the "industry-wide testing"
coordinated by the Securities Industry Association. This testing was
conducted to ensure that major broker / dealers, exchanges, clearing
houses, and depositories will be able to communicate properly in the
year 2000. Federated participated in initial tests for processing of
mutual fund transactions in both July and October 1998. Federated has
also participated in the full industry-wide test conducted in March /
April 1999 and encountered no Y2K-related errors.

COSTS TO ADDRESS Y2K: Federated estimates its Y2K project will cost
approximately $10 million. Federated has incurred approximately $7.6
million from the inception of the Y2K project through June 30, 1999,
with $2.4 million being reflected within the current year's financial
statements. Y2K costs are being funded from operating revenue and are
being expensed as incurred. These cost estimates are subject to change
as the project continues. The estimated total costs are not considered
to have a material impact on Federated's results of operations or
financial position.

While certain non time-sensitive IT projects have been delayed due to
Y2K efforts and costs, no strategic projects or projects for legal or
regulatory requirements have been deferred or canceled.

RISKS OF YEAR 2000 ISSUES: It must be realized that, as with all other
companies in the financial services industry, many day-to-day functions
of Federated are dependent on accurate computer processing. Further,
this processing is conducted by an extensive network of systems, both
internal to Federated and external, with both direct and indirect
interaction. Accordingly, if not addressed, Y2K issues could result in
Federated's inability to perform mission-critical functions, including
the trading of securities and processing of fund shareowner
transactions.

A portion of Federated's business involves international investments,
thereby exposing Federated to operations, custody and settlement
processes outside the United States. Federated is monitoring the
progress of the funds' international custodians in these areas.
Federated is also assessing Y2K issues for other aspects of its
international operations.

Y2K is a risk for many of the issuers of the specific securities in
which Federated's funds invest, in both the U.S. and international
markets. Accordingly, Federated has incorporated assessment of Y2K risk
into its investment management process.

CONTINGENCY PLANS: Because Federated's operations are reliant upon
systems which are not under its direct control, Federated's Y2K plan
includes the development of contingency plans to address its critical
operations in the event of Y2K-related disruptions. The creation of
these plans is currently underway. We expect to create, document, and
validate our contingency plans by the end of October, 1999. However, in
an operation as complex and geographically distributed as Federated's
business, there are limited alternatives to certain of its
mission-critical systems or public utilities. If certain
mission-critical systems or public utilities are not made Year 2000
compliant or fail, there would be a material adverse impact upon
Federated's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Although Federated is investigating alternative solutions, it is
unlikely that an adequate contingency plan can be developed to avoid
such an adverse impact in the event mission-critical systems or public
utilities fail to achieve compliance.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION. Certain statements
under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" included in the Future Cash Requirements and Year
2000 Readiness Disclosure sections 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, or achievements of Federated,
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,
1998, 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 Federated 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

Federated's investments are primarily in money market and fixed income
funds. Occasionally, Federated invests in new fluctuating net asset
value mutual funds (priming) sponsored by Federated in order to provide
investable cash to the fund, allowing the fund to establish a
performance history. Federated may use derivative financial instruments
in an attempt to hedge these investments. As of June 30, 1999, the book
value of the priming investments and the derivative financial
instruments were $4.9 million and $137,000, respectively. In the second
quarter of 1999, Federated became the collateral manager of an
approximately $361.0 million collateralized bond obligation (CBO)
consisting of high yield debt securities. At the same time, Federated
purchased $11.0 million of subordinated notes due 2011. Payments of
interest and principal on the subordinated notes will be subordinated to
interest and principal payments on senior and mezzanine notes issued by
the CBO as well as costs incurred by the CBO. All of Federated's debt
instruments carry fixed interest rates and therefore are not subject to
market risk.
