Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from June 1, 2008 to November 30, 2008.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2008, the fund's Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class K Shares produced total returns of (25.39)%, (25.97)%, (25.98)% and (25.76)%, respectively, at net asset value. That compares with a (22.16)% return for the fund's blended index and (30.64)% for Morningstar's Moderate Allocation Funds Category Average. 1 The fund's blended index is composed of 60% of the return of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500) 2 and 40% of the return of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (formerly, Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index) (BCAB). 3 The S&P 500 and the BCAB had total returns of (38.09)% and 1.74%, respectively. The Fund's total return for the fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses which were not reflected in the total return data of the indices.

The following discussion will focus on the performance of the Fund's Class A Shares.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Domestic Equities

The credit concerns that first emerged during the summer of 2007 became increasingly severe during the 12-month period ended November 30, 2008. The Federal Reserve responded by easing monetary policy seven times by a total of 3.50% to end the period at 1.00% and instituting a number of specially-crafted lending programs to financial and non-financial institutions. Despite these actions, many venerable financial institutions either failed or needed to be rescued. By the end of September 2008, not one major independent U.S. investment bank remained, as the last two standing--Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley--rewrote their charters to become commercial banks. The credit freeze began taking its toll on the broader economy. Mass layoffs became commonplace, leading to a spike in unemployment. Consumers tightened their belts and curtailed spending.

Domestic equities, as represented by the S&P 500, responded with unusual volatility and steep declines. The index lost (38.1%) on a total return basis during the period, with each sector down significantly. The worst performing sectors in the S&P 500 were Financials (down 57.6%), Materials (down 44.9%) and Information Technology (down 43.3%). The best performing sector by far was Consumer Staples (down 16.0%). Next were Energy (down 27.2%) and Utilities (down 27.3%).

International Equities

Most major world equity indices underperformed the United States due to investor fears that spreading recessionary forces would weaken foreign economies even more than the domestic economy. U.S. dollar strength during much of the period (based on the New York Board of Trade U.S. Dollar Index) 4 caused foreign index performance to be even weaker in domestic currency than in local currencies.

Interest Rates

Interest rates on U.S. Government securities fell considerably over the 12-month reporting period (shorter maturities fell most) as nervous investors dumped spread bonds in favor of Treasury securities. Spread bonds underperformed Treasury securities by an unprecedented margin over the past year. The two-year Treasury yield fell 2.01% and finished the reporting period at 0.98%, while the 30-year Treasury yield fell 0.94% in the period to finish at 3.44%. The yield on the BCAB, however, only decreased marginally over the past year.

FUND PERFORMANCE

Asset Allocation Strategy Performance

For the year ended November 30, 2008, overall asset allocation strategy detracted from the fund's performance, primarily due to the stock-versus-bond allocation during much of the year. However, the fund's underweight in equities during much of the September-through-November period helped performance. For the full reporting period, the fund's overweight allocation to foreign equities hurt the fund's performance, as did the overweight allocation to small-caps late in 2008, when small-cap equities began to underperform large-cap equities. Investments in commodities also detracted from performance.

4 Calculates the performance of the U.S. Dollar against a basket of six major currencies, including the Euro, Japanese Yen, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Swiss Franc and Swedish Kroner.

Domestic Equities Performance

In the equity portion of the fund, positive stock selection and good sector allocations contributed to the fund's better-than-index performance. The fund benefited from an overweight position in Consumer Staples and an underweight position in Financials during the reporting period.

Individual stocks that were particularly helpful to performance included:

Nabors Industries, Ltd. (NBR), the world's largest land-drilling contractor, operating a fleet of over 600 land rigs and 780 land-work-over and well-servicing rigs worldwide. The stock benefited from a substantial rebound in North American land drilling rig day rates. The stock returned 21.2% during the period and was a positive contributor to fund performance.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT), the world's largest retailer, with more than 6,300 stores, including some 1,200 discount stores, nearly 2,000 combination discount and grocery stores and 560 warehouse stores. Wal-Mart's value positioning is driving industry-leading sales, as cash-strapped consumers search for good quality at a low price. WMT's three-year effort to improve its apparel, home and electronics assortment is beginning to pay off as shoppers stop for necessities like food and household products but also purchase higher-margin discretionary items as well. The stock returned 18.7% during the holding period and contributed positively to the return of the fund relative to the S&P 500.

First Solar Inc. (FSLR), which engages in the design, manufacture and sale of solar electric power modules, a polycrystalline thin film structure that employs cadmium telluride semiconductor material to convert sunlight into electricity. The stock benefited from an increased use of solar due to worldwide renewable energy initiatives. The stock outperformed on a very strong earnings report and new solar contract wins related to its lower-cost thin film technology. First Solar returned 15.6% during the holding period and contributed positively to fund performance.

The stocks that were the largest detractors from fund performance were:

Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), which develops, manufactures, licenses and supports a range of software products for computing devices. The stock underperformed after Microsoft announced a large takeover bid for Yahoo because of the size of the deal, the premium paid and speculation that Microsoft may be forced to raise the offer. The stock lost 38.7% during the holding period and negatively contributed to fund performance.

Schlumberger Ltd. (SLB), which operates as an oilfield services company in the United States and internationally. The energy sector underperformed in the period as oil and natural gas prices fell. Oil exploration activity for next year is no longer expected to grow at what was originally anticipated; therefore 2009 EPS estimates for Schlumberger were revised downward. The stock returned (50.3)% during the holding period.

Goldman Sachs Group (GS), which provides a range of investment banking, securities and investment management services to corporations, financial institutions, governments and high net worth individuals worldwide. The stock was negatively affected by the deteriorating credit environment which hurt the investment banking and investment management business. The stock returned (66.08)% during the holding period.

Fixed-Income Performance

The bond portion of the fund underperformed its benchmark (the BCAB) considerably during the 12-month reporting period due mostly to sector management and security selection. Although our yield-curve management added to performance and our duration 5 call also had a slightly positive impact, that was not enough to offset the big drag from sector management and security selection. Our sector call hurt performance due to a considerable overweight in residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") and corporate bonds (both investment-grade and high yield corporate bonds). Currency management was a slight drag.

Security selection was a big negative for performance in the Federated Mortgage Core Portfolio and the Emerging Markets Fixed Income Core Fund, and also in CMBS. Furthermore, Regional Diversified, Washington Mutual, Lehman Bros. and Prologis detracted from performance. Offsetting some of the drag from security selection, on the positive side, were our positions in High Yield Bond Portfolio, Union Central Life Insurance, Pacific Life, Blackrock and the trading of Treasury futures positions.

5 Duration is a measure of a security's price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. For purposes of this Management Discussion of Fund Performance, duration is determined using a third-party analytical system.

Performance data quoted represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than what is stated. For current to the most recent month-end performance and after-tax returns, visit FederatedInvestors.com or call 1-800-341-7400. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Mutual funds are not obligations of or guaranteed by any bank and are not federally insured. Total returns shown include the maximum sales charge of 5.50%.

1 Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund after deducting the maximum sales charge of 5.50% ($10,000 investment minus $550 sales charge = $9,450). The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The S&P 500, BCAB and LBFA have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indexes and the average.

2 The Blended Index is a custom blended index comprised of the S&P 500 (60%) and BCAB (40%). The S&P 500 and BCAB are not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. The indexes are unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, are not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

3 The LBFA represents the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper, Inc. as falling into the category indicated, and is not adjusted to reflect any sales charges. However, these total returns are reported net of expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance.

4 Total returns quoted reflect all applicable sales charges.

1 See the Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of the types of securities in which the Fund invests. As of the date specified above, the Fund owned shares of one or more affiliated investment companies. For purposes of these tables, the affiliated investment company (other than an affiliated money market fund) is not treated as a single portfolio security, but rather the Fund is treated as owning a pro rata portion of each security and each other asset and liability owned by the affiliated investment company. Accordingly, the percentages of total net assets shown in the table will differ from those presented on the Portfolio of Investments.

2 Based upon net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) or value of the derivative contracts as applicable. Derivative contracts may consist of futures, forwards, options and swaps. The impact of a derivative contract on the Fund's performance may be larger than its unrealized appreciation (depreciation) or value may indicate. In many cases, the notional value or notional principal amount of a derivative contract may provide a better indication of the contract's significance to the portfolio. More complete information regarding the Fund's direct investments in derivative contracts, including unrealized appreciation (depreciation), value and notional values or amounts of such contracts, can be found in the table at the end of the Portfolio of Investments included in this report.

3 Cash Equivalents include any investments in money market mutual funds and/or overnight repurchase agreements.

4 Assets, other than investments in securities and derivative contracts, less liabilities. See Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

1 Non-income-producing security.

2 Denotes a restricted security that either: (a) cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, or being able to take advantage of an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933; or (b) is subject to a contractual restriction on public sales. At November 30, 2008, these restricted securities amounted to $2,428,833, which represented 1.3% of total net assets.

3 Denotes a restricted security that may be resold without restriction to "qualified institutional buyers" as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and that the Fund has determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Trustees"). At November 30, 2008, these liquid restricted securities amounted to $2,428,833, which represented 1.3% of total net assets.

4 Pledged as collateral to ensure the Fund is able to satisfy the obligations of its outstanding futures contracts.

5 Affiliated companies.

6 7-Day net yield.

7 The cost of investments for federal tax purposes amounts to $212,196,038.

8 Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity's credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. A credit spread identified as "Defaulted" indicates a credit event has occurred for the referenced entity or obligation.

Note: The categories of investments are shown as a percentage of total net assets at November 30, 2008.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1--quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2--other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3--significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Notes to Financial Statements

November 30, 2008

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated Stock and Bond Fund (formerly, Federated Stock and Bond Fund, Inc) (the "Fund"), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund offers four classes of shares: Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class K Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The primary investment objective of the Fund is to provide relative safety of capital with the possibility of long-term growth of capital and income. Consideration is also given to current income.

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

In calculating its net asset value (NAV), the Fund generally values investments as follows:

  • Equity securities listed on an exchange or traded through a regulated market system are valued at their last reported sale price or official closing price in their principal exchange or market.
  • Fixed-income securities acquired with remaining maturities greater than 60 days are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Trustees.
  • Fixed-income securities acquired with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at their cost (adjusted for the accretion of any discount or amortization of any premium).
  • Shares of other mutual funds are valued based upon their reported NAVs.
  • Derivative contracts listed on exchanges are valued at their reported settlement or closing price.
  • Over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Trustees.

If the Fund cannot obtain a price or price evaluation from a pricing service for an investment, the Fund may attempt to value the investment based upon the mean of bid and asked quotations or fair value the investment based on price evaluations, from one or more dealers. If any price, quotation, price evaluation or other pricing source is not readily available when the NAV is calculated, the Fund uses the fair value of the investment determined in accordance with the procedures described below. There can be no assurance that the Fund could purchase or sell an investment at the price used to calculate the Fund's NAV.

Fair Valuation and Significant Events Procedures

The Trustees have authorized the use of pricing services to provide evaluations of the current fair value of certain investments for purposes of calculating the NAV. Factors considered by pricing services in evaluating an investment include the yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, call rights and other potential prepayments, terms and type, reported transactions, indications as to values from dealers and general market conditions. Some pricing services provide a single price evaluation reflecting the bid-side of the market for an investment (a "bid" evaluation). Other pricing services offer both bid evaluations and price evaluations indicative of a price between the prices bid and asked for the investment (a "mid" evaluation). The Fund normally uses bid evaluations for U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities. The Fund normally uses mid evaluations for other types of fixed-income securities and OTC derivative contracts. In the event that market quotations and price evaluations are not available for an investment, the fair value of the investment is determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees.

The Trustees also have adopted procedures requiring an investment to be priced at its fair value whenever the Adviser determines that a significant event affecting the value of the investment has occurred between the time as of which the price of the investment would otherwise be determined and the time as of which the NAV is computed. An event is considered significant if there is both an affirmative expectation that the investment's value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value. Examples of significant events that may occur after the close of the principal market on which a security is traded, or after the time of a price evaluation provided by a pricing service or a dealer, include:

  • With respect to securities traded in foreign markets, significant trends in U.S. equity markets or in the trading of foreign securities index futures or options contracts;
  • With respect to price evaluations of fixed-income securities determined before the close of regular trading on the NYSE, actions by the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee and other significant trends in U.S. fixed-income markets;
  • Political or other developments affecting the economy or markets in which an issuer conducts its operations or its securities are traded; and
  • Announcements concerning matters such as acquisitions, recapitalizations, litigation developments, a natural disaster affecting the issuer's operations or regulatory changes or market developments affecting the issuer's industry.

The Trustees have approved the use of a pricing service to determine the fair value of equity securities traded principally in foreign markets when the Adviser determines that there has been a significant trend in the U.S. equity markets or in index futures trading. For other significant events, the Fund may seek to obtain more current quotations or price evaluations from alternative pricing sources. If a reliable alternative pricing source is not available, the Fund will determine the fair value of the investment using another method approved by the Trustees.

Repurchase Agreements

It is the policy of the Fund to require the other party to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Fund's custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Fund holds a "securities entitlement" and exercises "control" as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Fund has established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the other party to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

With respect to agreements to repurchase U.S. government securities and cash items, the Fund treats the repurchase agreement as an investment in the underlying securities and not as an obligation of the other party to the repurchase agreement. Other repurchase agreements are treated as obligations of the other party secured by the underlying securities. Nevertheless, the insolvency of the other party or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Fund to receive less than the full repurchase price. Under the terms of the repurchase agreement, any amounts received by the Fund in excess of the repurchase price and related transaction costs must be remitted to the other party.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in which eligible securities are transferred into joint trading accounts maintained by the custodian or sub-custodian for investment companies and other clients advised by the Fund's Adviser and its affiliates. The Fund will participate on a pro rata basis with the other investment companies and clients in its share of the securities transferred under such repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of such securities.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Inflation adjustments on Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities are included in interest income. Distributions of net investment income are declared and paid quarterly. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class K Shares may bear distribution services fees, shareholder services fees, account administration fees and certain transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees unique to those classes. The Fund may also invest in Emerging Markets Fixed Income Core Fund (EMCORE), a portfolio of Federated Core Trust II, L.P., which is a limited partnership established under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Fund records daily its proportionate share of income, expenses, realized and unrealized gains and losses from EMCORE. 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 discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes. Gains and losses realized on principal payment of mortgage-backed securities (paydown gains and losses) are classified as part of investment income.

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 income tax is necessary. The Fund adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes," on December 1, 2007. As of and during the year ended November 30, 2008, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax expenses. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. As of September 5, 2008, the Fund's domicile and form of organization changed from a Maryland Corporation to a Massachusetts business trust. As of November 30, 2008, tax years 2005 through 2008 remain subject to examination by the Fund's major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America, the state of Maryland, the commonwealth of Massachusetts and the commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Withholding taxes and where appropriate, deferred withholding taxes on foreign interest, dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country's tax rules and rates.

Other Taxes

Through September 4, 2008, as an open-end management investment company incorporated in the state of Maryland but domiciled in Pennsylvania, the Fund is subject to the Pennsylvania Franchise Tax. This franchise tax is assessed annually on the value of the Fund, as represented by average net assets for the tax year.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

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

Swap Contracts

Swap contracts involve two parties that agree to exchange the returns (or the differential in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments, instruments, indices or other measures. The gross returns to be exchanged or "swapped" between parties are generally calculated with respect to a "notional amount" for a predetermined period of time. The Fund may enter into interest rate, total return, credit default, foreign exchange and other swap agreements. The Fund uses credit default swaps to manage exposure to a given issuer or sector by either selling protection to increase exposure or buying protection to reduce exposure. Total return swap agreements involve the commitment to pay or receive an amount generally determined by reference to an interest rate in exchange for a specific market-linked return, based on notional amounts. To the extent that the total return of the security or index underlying the transactions exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate based obligation, the Fund receives or makes a payment to the counterparty. The "buyer" in a credit default swap is obligated to pay the "seller" a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default on an underlying reference obligation has occurred. If an event of default occurs, the seller must pay the buyer the full notional value, or the "par value", of the reference obligation in exchange for the reference obligation. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency. Recovery values are assumed by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. If a credit event has occurred, the recovery value is typically determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value. The Fund may be either the buyer or seller in a credit default swap transaction. The maximum amount of the payment that may occur, as a result of a credit event payable by the protection seller, is equal to the notional amount of the underlying index or security. The Fund's maximum exposure to loss of the notional value of credit default swaps outstanding at November 30, 2008 is $5,000,000.

Risks may arise upon entering into swap agreements from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contract from unanticipated changes in the value of the swap agreement.

Upfront payments received or paid by the Fund will be reflected as an asset or liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Changes in the value of swap contracts are included in "Swaps, at value" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and periodic payments are reported as "Net realized gain (loss) on swap contracts" in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended November 30, 2008, the Fund had a net realized loss on swap contracts of $2,177,271.

Swap contracts outstanding at period end are listed after the Fund's portfolio of investments.

Futures Contracts

The Fund purchases and sells financial futures contracts to manage cashflows, enhance yield and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a financial 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 year ended November 30, 2008, the Fund had a net realized gain on futures contracts of $698,383.

Futures contracts outstanding at period end are listed after the Fund's portfolio of investments.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

The Fund may enter into foreign exchange contracts for the delayed delivery of securities or foreign currency exchange transactions. The Fund may enter into foreign exchange contracts 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 counterparties to meet the terms of their commitments and from unanticipated movements in security prices or foreign exchange rates. The foreign exchange contracts 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 November 30, 2008, the Fund had no outstanding foreign exchange contracts.

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.

Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are securities that either: (a) cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, or being able to take advantage of an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933; or (b) are subject to contractual restrictions on public sales. In some cases, when a security cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, the issuer of the restricted security has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer's expense, either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many such restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Fund's restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified-cost basis.

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due in part to differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, reclassification of income for defaulted securities, partnership income reclassifications and swap income reclassifications and discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities.

For the year ended November 30, 2008, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Undistributed
Net Investment
Income (Loss)

   
Accumulated
Net Realized
Gains (Losses)

$(397,860)

$397,860

Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses) and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended November 30, 2008 and 2007, was as follows:


   
2008
   
2007
Ordinary income 1

$15,440,201

$10,179,679
Long-term capital gains

$17,333,112

$22,455,101

1 For tax purposes, short-term capital gain distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.

As of November 30, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Distributions in excess of ordinary income
   
$
(107,310)
Net unrealized depreciation

$
(24,588,936)
Capital loss carryforwards

$
(24,377,276)

At November 30, 2008, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $212,196,038. The net unrealized depreciation of investments for federal tax purposes, excluding any unrealized appreciation/depreciation resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, futures contracts and swap contracts, was $24,588,963. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $5,133,079 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $29,722,042.

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable in part to differing treatments for the deferral of losses on wash sales, defaulted bond interest, discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities and partnership transactions.

At November 30, 2008, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $24,377,276 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 income tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire as follows:

Expiration Year
   
Expiration Amount
2009

$ 1,127,965
2010

$ 1,244,627
2016

$22,004,684

As a result of the tax-free transfer of assets from Vintage Balanced Fund, certain capital loss carryforwards listed above may be limited.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated Global Investment Management Corp. is the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"). The advisory agreement between the Fund and the Adviser provides for an annual fee equal to: (a) a maximum of 0.55% of the average daily net assets of the Fund; and (b) 4.50% of the gross income of the Fund, excluding gains or losses. Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion. For the year ended November 30, 2008, the Adviser voluntarily waived $117,485 of its fee. In addition, an affiliate of the adviser reimbursed $126,566 of transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees and expenses.

Prior to August 17, 2007, the Fund's investment adviser was Federated Equity Management Company of Pennsylvania (FEMCOPA). The advisory agreement between the Fund and FEMCOPA provided for an annual fee equal to: (a) a maximum of 0.55% of the average daily net assets of the Fund; and (b) 4.50% of the gross income of the Fund, excluding gains or losses.

Certain of the Fund's assets are managed by Federated Investment Management Company (FIMCO) and FEMCOPA (the "Sub-Advisers"). Under the terms of a sub-adviser agreement between the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers, the Sub-Advisers receive 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. For the year ended November 30, 2008, FIMCO and FEMCOPA earned fees of $234,465 and $619,610, respectively.

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 certain Federated funds as specified below:

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. Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, 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. For the year ended November 30, 2008, the net fee paid to FAS was 0.088% of average daily net assets of the Fund. FAS waived $52,539 of its fee.

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 Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class K Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses at the following percentages of average daily net assets annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class Name
   
Percentage of Average Daily
Net Assets of Class

Class B Shares

0.75%
Class C Shares

0.75%
Class K Shares

0.50%

Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, 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. When FSC receives fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase shares. For the year ended November 30, 2008, FSC retained $8,350 of fees paid by the Fund.

Sales Charges

For the year ended November 30, 2008, FSC retained $11,571 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. FSC also retained $1,063 relating to redemption of Class C Shares. See "What Do Shares Cost?" in the Prospectus.

Shareholder Services Fee

The Fund may pay fees (Service Fees) up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. Financial intermediaries may include a company affiliated with management of Federated Investors, Inc. A financial intermediary affiliated with management of Federated Investors, Inc. received $1,662 of Service Fees for the year ended November 30, 2008. Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, FSSC may voluntarily reimburse the Fund for shareholder services fees. This voluntary reimbursement can be modified or terminated at any time. For the year ended November 30, 2008, FSSC did not receive any fees paid by the Fund.

Expense Limitation

The Adviser and its affiliates (which may include FSC, FAS and FSSC) have voluntarily agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total operating expenses (as shown in the financial highlights, but excluding expenses allocated from partnerships) paid by the Fund's Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class K Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 1.25%, 2.05%, 2.05% and 1.75%, respectively, for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2008. Although these actions are voluntary, the Adviser and its affiliates have agreed to continue these waivers and/or reimbursements at least through January 31, 2010.

General

Certain of the Officers and Trustees of the Fund are Officers and Trustees or Trustees of the above companies.

Transactions with Affiliated Companies

8. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates in a $100,000,000 unsecured, uncommitted revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement with PNC Bank. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 0.65% over the federal funds rate. As of November 30, 2008, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended November 30, 2008, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

9. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from other participating affiliated funds. As of November 30, 2008, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended November 30, 2008, the program was not utilized.

10. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Since October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and related entities (collectively, "Federated") and various Federated funds ("Federated Funds") have been named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. 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. These lawsuits began to be filed shortly after Federated's first public announcement that it had received requests for information on shareholder trading activities in the Federated Funds from the SEC, the Office of the New York State Attorney General ("NYAG") and other authorities. In that regard, on November 28, 2005, Federated announced that it had reached final settlements with the SEC and the NYAG with respect to those matters. As Federated previously reported in 2004, it has already paid approximately $8.0 million to certain funds as determined by an independent consultant. As part of these settlements, Federated agreed to pay for the benefit of fund shareholders additional disgorgement and a civil money penalty in the aggregate amount of an additional $72 million. Federated entities have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits that are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board of the Federated Funds retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro LLP to represent the Federated Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Federated Funds and their respective counsel have been defending this litigation and none of the Federated Funds remains a defendant in any of the lawsuits (though some could potentially receive any recoveries as nominal defendants). Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these lawsuits, all of which seek unquantified damages, attorneys' fees and expenses, and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Federated Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Federated Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Federated Fund shares or other adverse consequences for the Federated Funds.

11. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2008, FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (FAS 161). FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of adopting FAS 161 and its impact on the financial statements and the accompanying notes.

In addition, the Fund has adopted FASB Staff Position No. 133-1 and FIN 45-4, "Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45" (FAS 133). The amendments require additional disclosure relating to credit derivatives. All changes to accounting policies have been made in accordance with the amendments and incorporated for the current period.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND THE SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED STOCK AND BOND FUND:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of the Federated Stock and Bond Fund (the "Fund"), as of November 30, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for the periods presented prior to December 1, 2005, were audited by other independent registered public accountants whose report thereon dated January 23, 2006, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Federated Stock and Bond Fund as of November 30, 2008, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory
Contract - May 2008

FEDERATED STOCK AND BOND FUND (THE "FUND")

The Fund is the successor to Federated Stock and Bond Fund, Inc. (the "Corporation") pursuant to a reorganization that took place on September 5, 2008. The reorganization was effected without any discontinuity in the operations of the Corporation/Fund, and the fee structure of the Fund is the same as that of the Corporation. At meetings held in May 2008, the Board reviewed the investment advisory and subadvisory contracts with regard to both the Fund and the Corporation. The Board's decision regarding these contracts reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue with respect to the Fund the arrangements that existed for the Corporation.

In this connection, the Federated funds' Board had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent, written evaluation that covered topics discussed below. The Board considered that evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory and subadvisory contracts.

During its review of these contracts, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser and subadviser. This included the fees received for services provided to the Fund by other entities in the Federated organization and research services received by the Adviser from brokers that execute Federated fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees, which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the performance of the fund; the Adviser's cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize "economies of scale" as a fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser's relationship with a fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant bearing on the Adviser's services and fees. The Board further considered management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser and subadviser for what might be viewed as like services, and the cost to the Adviser and its affiliates of supplying services pursuant to the management fee agreements, excluding any intra-corporate profit and profit margins of the Adviser and its affiliates for supplying such services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund's advisory and subadvisory contracts to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, the Board has requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer's evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional reports in connection with the particular meeting at which the Board's formal review of the advisory and subadvisory contracts occurred. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board's consideration of the advisory and subadvisory contracts included review of the Senior Officer's evaluation, accompanying data and additional reports covering such matters as: the Adviser's and subadviser's investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund's short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or "peer group" funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund's investment objectives; the Fund's expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund's portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund's relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated's responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board's evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.

With respect to the Fund's performance and expenses in particular, the Board has found the use of comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be particularly useful, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because, simply put, they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund's investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes. The Fund's ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Fund's investment program, which in turn assisted the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser's investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract. In this regard, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated's fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences include, but are not limited to, different types of targeted investors; being subject to different laws and regulations; different legal structures; different average account sizes; different associated costs; and different portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be significant in determining the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory contracts.

The Senior Officer reviewed reports compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups are highly important in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.

For both the one- and three-year periods ending December 31, 2007, the Fund's performance was above the median of the relevant peer group.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including reports on the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. These reports covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated's subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds' administrator). The reports also discussed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate.

Federated furnished reports, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund-by-fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund-by-fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, although they may apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs (and the unavoidable arbitrary aspects of that exercise) and the lack of consensus on how to allocate those costs may render such allocation reports unreliable. The allocation reports were considered in the analysis by the Board but were determined to be of limited use.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed a report compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer noted the limited availability of such information, but nonetheless concluded that Federated's profit margins did not appear to be excessive and the Board agreed.

The Senior Officer's evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of "economies of scale" as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant and long-term investments in areas that support all of the Federated funds, such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, compliance, and risk management functions; and systems technology; and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund complex as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which (as discussed in the Senior Officer's evaluation) is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with "breakpoints" that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size. The Senior Officer did not recommend institution of breakpoints in pricing Federated's fund advisory services at this time.

It was noted in the materials for the Board meeting that for the Fund's most recently completed fiscal year, the Fund's investment advisory fee, after waivers and expense reimbursements, if any, was above the median of the relevant peer group. The Board reviewed the fees and other expenses of the Fund with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive. The Board will continue to monitor advisory fees and other expenses borne by the Fund.

The Senior Officer's evaluation noted his belief that the information and observations contained in his evaluation supported a finding that the proposed management fees are reasonable, and that Federated appeared to provide appropriate administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to, the continuation of the Fund's advisory and subadvisory contracts. The Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates were satisfactory.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund's operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser's industry standing and reputation and with the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board's approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund.

The Board based its decision to approve the advisory and subadvisory contracts on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board's decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated's performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

(e)(1)                      Audit Committee Policies regarding Pre-approval of Services.
 
The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditor in order to assure that the provision of such services do not impair the auditor’s independence.  Unless a type of service to be provided by the independent auditor has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.  Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.
 
Certain services have the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee.  The term of the general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period.  The Audit Committee will annually review the services that may be provided by the independent auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee and may grant general pre-approval for such services.  The Audit Committee will revise the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.  The Audit Committee will not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor to management.
 
The Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to its Chairman.  The Chairman will report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.  The Committee will designate another member with such pre-approval authority when the Chairman is unavailable.
 

 
AUDIT SERVICES
 
The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees will be subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee.  The Audit Committee must approve any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, registered investment company (RIC) structure or other matters.
 
In addition to the annual Audit services engagement specifically approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval for other Audit Services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide.  The Audit Committee has pre-approved certain Audit services, all other Audit services must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
 

 
AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES
 
Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor.  The Audit Committee believes that the provision of Audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor, and has pre-approved certain Audit-related services, all other Audit-related services must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
 

 
TAX SERVICES
 
The Audit Committee believes that the independent auditor can provide Tax services to the Company such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor’s independence.  However, the Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the independent auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations.  The Audit Committee has pre-approved certain Tax services, all Tax services involving large and complex transactions must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
 

 
ALL OTHER SERVICES
 
With respect to the provision of services other than audit, review or attest services the pre-approval requirement is waived if:
 

 
(1)  
The aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues paid by the registrant, the registrant’s adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant to its accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided;
(2)  
Such services were not recognized by the registrant, the registrant’s adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant  at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and
(3)  
Such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee of the issuer and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee who are members of the board of directors to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee.

 
The Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to those permissible non-audit services classified as All Other services that it believes are routine and recurring services, and would not impair the independence of the auditor.
 

 
The SEC’s rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of prohibited non-audit services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the prohibitions.
 

 
PRE-APPROVAL FEE LEVELS
 
Pre-approval fee levels for all services to be provided by the independent auditor will be established annually by the Audit Committee.  Any proposed services exceeding these levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.
 

 
PROCEDURES
 
Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the independent auditor and the Principal Accounting Officer and/or Internal Auditor, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.
