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; 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 October 1, 2006 to March 31, 2007.

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

The fund's total return, based on net asset value, for the 12-month reporting period was 5.05% for the fund's Class A Shares, 4.12% for the fund's Class B Shares, and 4.13% for the fund's Class C Shares. The total return of the Lehman Brother Municipal Bond Index,¹ the fund's benchmark index (LBMB), was 5.43% during the 12-month reporting period. The fund's total return for the most recent completed fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs, and other expenses, which were not reflected in the total return of the LBMB.

The fund's investment strategy focused on: (a) the effective duration of its portfolio (which indicates the portfolio's sensitivity to changes in interest rates); (b) the selection of securities with different maturities (expressed by a yield curve showing the relative yield of similar securities with different maturities); (c) the allocation of the portfolio among securities of similar issuers (referred to as sectors); and (d) the credit rating of portfolio securities.² These were the most significant factors affecting the fund's performance relative to the LBMB.

The following discussion will focus on the performance of the fund's Class A Shares. The 5.05% total return for the Class A Shares for the reporting period consisted of 4.48% of tax-exempt dividends, and 0.57% appreciation in the net asset value of the shares.³

1 The LBMB is a market value-weighted index for the long-term, tax-exempt bond market. To be included in the index, bonds must have a minimum credit rating of Baa, an outstanding par value of at least $7 million and be issued as part of a transaction of at least $75 million. The bonds must be fixed rate, have a dated date after December 31, 1990, and must be at least one year from their maturity date. The LBMB is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses and other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires to be reflected in the fund's performance. The LBMB is unmanaged and unlike the fund, is not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

2 Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates and a rise in interest rates can cause a decline in their prices.

3 Income may be subject to state and local taxes. The investment adviser normally (except as disclosed in the Fund's prospectus) will invest the Fund's assets entirely in securities whose interest is not subject to the alternative minimum tax for individuals and corporations (AMT), such that, normally, distributions of annual interest income are exempt from the AMT (in addition to the federal regular income tax). However, in certain circumstances (such as, for example, when there is a lack of supply of non-AMT securities or there are advantageous market conditions), to pursue the Fund's investment objective, the Fund's adviser may invest the Fund's assets in securities that may be subject to AMT. In such circumstances, interest from the Fund's investments may be subject to the AMT.

MARKET OVERVIEW

During the 12-month reporting period, tax-exempt municipal credit spreads, or the yield difference between AAA rated tax-exempt municipal bonds and bonds of lower credit quality and similar maturity, continued to tighten and decrease, and the tax-exempt municipal yield curve took on an unusually flat yield configuration. These market effects reflected an exhaustive demand for securities with higher yields and the desire for taxable investors to earn carry from the tax-exempt municipal yield curve, which, unlike the treasury yield curve, is not inverted. To "earn the carry" an investor can borrow at a lower short-term interest rate and invest the proceeds in a higher yielding longer term security when the yield has a positive slope. An inverted yield curve exists when the yield on a security with a short maturity is greater than the yield on a security with a longer maturity. Credit spreads also became tighter to a greater extent for BBB rated (or comparable quality) debt than for other investment grade rated (AAA, AA, A, or comparable quality) debt (meaning that the yield on the BBB rated debt improved to a greater extent than for other investment grade rated debt).⁴ High-yield, tax-exempt municipal debt provided strong total returns once again as investors were attracted to the significantly higher yield provided by these issues.

Long-term interest rates, based on interest rates on ten-year treasury securities, in general, declined from a high of 5.25% in June of 2006 to a low of 4.43% in December 2006 and ended the reporting period at 4.64%. Interest rates showed some volatility as the bond market attempted to determine the extent of the strength of the U.S. economy and the Federal Reserve Board's (the "Fed") intentions concerning short-term interest rates. The generally low interest rate environment resulted in investors continuing to pursue lower-rated credits because of the additional yield they offer. As a result, certain revenue bond sectors outperformed the LBMB, such as hospitals, industrial development, and transportation projects.

4 Investment-grade securities are securities that are rated at least BBB or unrated securities of a comparable quality. Noninvestment-grade securities are securities that are not rated at least BBB or unrated securities of a comparable quality. Credit ratings are an indication of the risk that a security will default. They do not protect a security from credit risk. Lower-rated bonds typically offer higher yields to help compensate investors for the increased risk associated with them. Among these risks are lower creditworthiness, greater price volatility, more risk to principal and income than with higher-rated securities and increased possibilities of default.

The Fed raised short-term rates one last time during the reporting period bringing the Federal Funds Target Rate to 5.25% and then went on hold while maintaining the inflation risk bias in their economic assessment. This resulted in an additional flattening of the tax-exempt municipal yield curve with short-term interest rates rising and long-term interest rates actually declining (that is, while securities provided higher incremental income or yield as maturities became longer, the amount of the increase in incremental income was less or flattened).

DURATION⁵

At the end of the reporting period, the fund's dollar-weighted average duration was 5.5 years. Duration management is a significant component of the fund's investment strategy. The shorter a fund's duration relative to an index, the less its net asset value will react as interest rates change. The fund adjusted duration relative to the LBMB several times over the reporting period to seek to take advantage of expectations concerning short-term interest rate movements. The fund's duration strategy provided a modest positive incremental return over the reporting period.

MATURITY

During the 12-month reporting period, the fund concentrated on purchasing tax-exempt bonds with maturities of 20 years and longer. These maturities provided the most attractive opportunities for yield because of the yield curve's flattening, but still positively sloping shape. A yield curve is considered positively sloping when the yield progressively increases as you move into longer maturities. Bonds with longer maturities (15 to 20 years and longer) provided better returns as the yield curve flattened and the yields on longer maturities decreased while bonds with shorter final maturities actually increased over the period. Even though the fund increased its holdings of bonds with 20-year and longer maturities, it was still underweighted relative to the LBMB, which had a negative impact on the relative performance of the fund during the reporting period.

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's Discussion of Fund Performance, duration is determined using a third-party analytical system.

SECTOR

During the 12-month reporting period, the fund allocated more of its portfolio to securities issued by hospitals, industrial development projects, and higher education institutions. The fund also allocated less of the portfolio to general obligation bonds issued by cities, states and school districts. These allocations helped the fund's performance due to the higher yields available in the overweighted sectors and the smaller increase in the price of general obligation bonds as compared to other sectors. The fund also allocated more of the portfolio to prerefunded tax exempt municipal bonds (bonds for which the principal and interest payments are secured or guaranteed by cash or US treasury securities held in an escrow account). The exposure to prerefunded bonds had a negative impact on performance due to the smaller increase in price of pre-refunded bonds as compared to other sectors.

CREDIT QUALITY

With the continued decrease in credit spreads, and the tightening of credit spreads to a greater extent for BBB rated (or comparable quality) debt, the fund's overweight, relative to the LBMB, in BBB rated debt during the reporting period benefited the fund's performance as the yield on BBB rated debt improved to a greater extent than for other investment-grade securities. Yield spreads between AAA rated and BBB rated municipal debt declined by 13 basis points for bonds with 20 years to maturity. However, the fund's minimal exposure to high-yield, tax-exempt municipal debt impacted performance negatively, as this sector of the market continued to perform well over the reporting period as the demand for high-yield, tax-exempt municipal debt increased.

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 4.50%.

1 Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund after deducting the maximum sales charge of 4.50% ($10,000 investment minus $450 sales charge = $9,550). The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The LBMB and the LGMFA have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index and average.

2 The LBMB is a market value-weighted index for the long-term, tax-exempt bond market. To be included in the index, bonds must have a minimum credit rating of Baa, an outstanding par value of at least $7 million and be issued as a part of a transaction of at least $75 million. The bonds must be fixed rate, have a dated date after December 31, 1990, and must be at least one year from their maturity date. The LBMB is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses and other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the fund's performance. The LBMB is unmanaged and unlike the fund, is not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

3 The LGMFA represents the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper, Inc. as falling in the respective 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 a fund's performance.

4 Total returns quoted reflect all applicable sales charges.

1 Sector classifications, and the assignment of holdings to such sectors, are based upon the economic sector and/or revenue source of the underlying obligor, as determined by the Fund's adviser. For securities that have been enhanced by a third-party (other than a bond insurer), such as a guarantor, sector classifications are based upon the economic sector and/or revenue source of the third-party as determined by the Fund's adviser. Securities that are insured by a bond insurer are assigned to the "Insured" sector. Refunded securities are those whose debt service is paid from escrowed assets, usually U.S. government securities.

2 For purposes of this table, sector classifications constitute 94.2% of the Fund's total net assets. Remaining sectors have been aggregated under the designation "Other."

3 Assets, other than investments in securities, less liabilities. See Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

March 31, 2007

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated Municipal Securities 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 three classes of shares: Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide for its shareholders a high level of current income which is exempt from federal regular income tax. Interest income from the Fund's investments normally will not be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals and corporations, but may be subject to state and local taxes.

On October 27, 2006, the Fund received assets from the Sentinel Tax-Free Income Fund as the result of a tax-free reorganization, as follows:

Shares of the Fund Issued		Sentinel Tax-Free Income Fund Net Assets Received		Unrealized Appreciation¹		Net Assets of the Fund Immediately Prior to Combination		Net Assets of Sentinel Tax-Free Income Fund Immediately Prior to Combination		Net Assets of the Fund Immediately After Combination
3,559,509		$38,015,553		$685,917		$468,838,638		$38,015,553		$506,854,191

1 Unrealized Appreciation is included in the Sentinel Tax-Free Income Fund Net Assets Received amount shown above.

On April 29, 2005, the Fund received assets from the North Track Tax-Exempt Fund as the result of a tax-free reorganization, as follows:

Shares of the Fund Issued		North Track Tax-Exempt Fund Net Assets Received		Unrealized Appreciation²		Net Assets of the Fund Immediately Prior to Combination		Net Assets of North Track Tax-Exempt Fund Immediately Prior to Combination		Net Assets of the Fund Immediately After Combination
2,817,357		$30,342,940		$2,052,038		$484,680,128		$30,342,940		$515,023,068

2 Unrealized Appreciation is included in the North Track Tax-Exempt Fund Net Assets Received amount shown above.

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

Market values of the Fund's portfolio securities are determined as follows:

futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. The Board of Directors (the "Directors") may determine in good faith that another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value;
prices for total return swaps are based upon a valuation model determined by management incorporating underlying reference indexes, interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors. Prices for credit default swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating default probabilities, recovery rates and other market data or factors. Prices for interest rate swaps are furnished by an independent pricing service and are based upon a valuation model incorporating interest rates, yield curves and other market data or factors;
for investments in other open-end regulated investment companies, based on net asset value (NAV);
for fixed-income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed-income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost; and
for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Directors.

Prices for fixed-income securities furnished by a pricing service may be based on a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Such prices are generally intended to be indicative of the bid prices currently offered to institutional investors for the securities, except that prices for corporate fixed-income securities traded in the United States are generally intended to be indicative of the mean between such bid prices and asked prices. The Directors have approved the use of such pricing services. A number of pricing services are available, and the Fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or other financial institutions that trade the securities.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. 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 each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary.

Other Taxes

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

The Fund may enter into swap contracts. A swap is an exchange of cash payments between the Fund and another party, which is based on a specific financial index, instrument or other measure. The value of the swap is adjusted daily and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When a swap contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. The swap contracts entered into by the Fund are on a forward settling basis. For the year ended March 31, 2007, the Fund had realized gains of $418,596 on swap contracts.

Risks may arise upon entering into these agreements from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contract and from unanticipated changes in the value of the financial index on which the swap agreement is based. The Fund uses swaps for hedging purposes to reduce its exposure to interest rate fluctuations.

As of March 31, 2007, the Fund had no outstanding swap contracts.

Futures Contracts

The Fund may periodically sell bond interest rate futures contracts to manage duration and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a bond interest rate 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 March 31, 2007, the Fund had realized losses of $66,712 on futures contracts.

As of March 31, 2007, the Fund had no outstanding futures contracts.

Inverse Floater Structures

The Fund may participate in Secondary Inverse Floater Structures in which fixed-rate, tax-exempt municipal bonds purchased by the Fund are transferred to a trust. The trust subsequently issues two or more variable rate securities that are collateralized by the cash flows of the fixed-rate, tax-exempt municipal bonds. One or more of these variable rate securities pays interest based on a floating rate set by a remarketing agent at predetermined intervals. A residual interest tax-exempt security is also created by the trust which is transferred to the Fund, that is paid interest based on the remaining cash flow of the trust, after payment of interest on the other securities and various expenses of the trust.

The Fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Fund's investments, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Fund liabilities under the caption, "Payable for floating rate certificate securities" in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. At March 31, 2007, Fund investments with a value of $12,648,036 are held by the trusts and serve as collateral for the $6,410,000 in floating rate certificate securities outstanding at that date. The Fund recorded interest and trust expenses of $1,444,903 for these investments for the year ended March 31, 2007.

While these inverse floater structures are accounted for as secured borrowings, the Fund's Adviser has determined that they do not constitute borrowings for purposes of any fundamental limitation on borrowings that may be applicable to the Fund.

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 Directors. 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 Directors.

Additional information on restricted securities, excluding securities purchased under Rule 144A that have been deemed liquid by the Directors, held at March 31, 2007, is as follows:

Security	Acquisition Date	Acquisition Cost
Kansas City, MO IDA, MFH Revenue Bonds, 6.70% (Woodbridge Apartments Project), 8/1/2015	7/27/1999	$ 605,000
New York City, NY IDA, Liberty Revenue Bonds (Series A), 6.25% (7 World Trade Center LLC), 3/1/2015	3/15/2005	$3,000,000

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 discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities, pass-thru income earned on partnership securities, inverse floater structures, capital loss carryforwards acquired in a merger and differing treatment of regulatory settlement proceeds.

For the year ended March 31, 2007, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Paid-In Capital	Undistributed Net Investment Income	Accumulated Net Realized Loss
$183,891	$96,004	$(279,895)

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 March 31, 2007 and 2006, was as follows:

		2007		2006
Tax-exempt income		$20,891,407		$21,736,900

As of March 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income	$	21,078
Net unrealized appreciation	$	23,998,236
Capital loss carryforward	$	(21,389,463	)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities.

At March 31, 2007, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $482,625,250. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $23,998,236. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $24,542,191 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $543,955.

At March 31, 2007, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $21,389,463 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
2008		$20,452,295
2009		$ 650,715
2014		$ 286,453

As a result of the tax-free transfer of assets from Sentinel Tax-Free Income Fund, certain capital loss carryfowards listed above may be limited.

The Fund used capital loss carryforwards of $2,917,452 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended March 31, 2007.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated Investment Management Company, the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to: (a) 0.30% of the average daily net assets of the Fund; and (b) 4.50% of the gross income of the Fund, excluding capital gains or losses.

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. For the year ended March 31, 2007, the net fee paid to FAS was 0.076% of average aggregate daily net assets of the Fund.

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 and Class C Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses according to 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%

When FSC receives fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase shares. For the year ended March 31, 2007, FSC retained $19,467 of fees paid by the Fund.

Sales Charges

For the year ended March 31, 2007, FSC retained $23,010 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. FSC also retained $3,058 of contingent deferred sales charges relating to redemptions of Class A Shares and $491 relating to redemptions 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. For the year ended March 31, 2007, FSSC voluntarily waived $48,394 of its fee and voluntarily reimbursed $544,891 of shareholder services fees. For the year ended March 31, 2007, FSSC received $6,179 of fees paid by the Fund.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended March 31, 2007, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $89,095,000 and $109,190,000, respectively.

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 (including the distribution (12b-1) fee, but excluding interest and trust expenses (referenced in Note 2)) so that the total operating expenses paid by the Fund's Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 0.87%, 1.76% and 1.76%, respectively, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008. Although these actions are voluntary, the Adviser and its affiliates have agreed not to terminate these waivers and/or reimbursements until after May 31, 2008.

General

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

6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations, for the year ended March 31, 2007, were as follows:

Purchases		$	116,697,109
Sales		$	176,588,999

7. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates in a $150,000,000 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 March 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended March 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

8. REGULATORY SETTLEMENT PROCEEDS

The Fund received $81,708 from Veras Capital Partners in settlement of administrative proceedings involving findings by the Securities and Exchange Commission of market timing and late trading of mutual funds. The settlement is recorded as an increase to Paid-in capital in the accompanying financial statements.

9. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds") were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. 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 Funds from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("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 and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which 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 Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and intend to defend this litigation. 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 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 Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Recent SEC guidance allows implementing FIN48 in fund NAV calculations as late as a fund's last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the Fund will adopt FIN 48 no later than September 28, 2007. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

In addition, in September 2006, FASB released Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (FAS 157) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.

11. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

At March 31, 2007, 100% of the distributions from net investment income is exempt from federal income tax, other than the federal AMT.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Beginning June 1, 2007, the Fund will offer Class F Shares.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
FEDERATED MUNICIPAL SECURITIES FUND, INC.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated Municipal Securities Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), including the portfolio of investments, as of March 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the 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 audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. 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 Federated Municipal Securities Fund, Inc. at March 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract

FEDERATED MUNICIPAL SECURITIES FUND, INC. (THE "FUND")

The Fund's Board reviewed the Fund's investment advisory contract at meetings held in May 2006. The Board's decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

Prior to the meeting, the Adviser had recommended that the Federated Funds appoint 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 appointed by the Funds 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, which the Board considered, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract.

During its review of the contract, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser. 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 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 the Fund grows larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser's relationship with the 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 for like services and costs 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 from supplying such services. The Board was aware of these considerations and was guided by them in its review of the Fund's advisory contract to the extent they are 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 the advice of 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 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 contract occurred. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board has received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board's consideration of the advisory contract included review of the Senior Officer's evaluation, accompanying data and additional reports covering such matters as: the Adviser'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); the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates; 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 included, but are not limited to targeting different investors, being subject to different laws and regulations, different legal structure, distribution costs, average account size and 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, and directed the preparation of independent reports, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups is of significance in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.

For both the one- and three-year periods ending December 31, 2005, 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 as well as waivers of fees and/or reimbursements of expenses. In order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have 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 rocesses, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs and the lack of consensus on how to allocate those costs causes such allocation reports to be of questionable value. The allocation reports were considered in the analysis by the Board but were determined to be of limited use.

The Board also reviewed profitability information for Federated and other publicly held fund management companies, provided by the Senior Officer, who noted the limited availability of such information, and concluded that Federated's profit margins did not appear to be excessive.

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 additional investments in the portfolio management and distribution efforts supporting all of the Federated Funds and that the benefits of 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 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.

During the year ending December 31, 2005, 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.

No changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund's advisory contracts, and the Senior Officer noted that Federated appeared to provide appropriate administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. For 2005, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates was 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 in 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 contract 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 relevant to every Federated 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.

The Senior Officer also made recommendations relating to the organization and availability of data and verification of processes for purposes of implementing future evaluations which the Adviser has agreed to implement.

(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.

(e)(2)      Percentage of services identified in items 4(b) through 4(d) that
were approved by the registrants audit committee pursuant to paragraph
(c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X:

            Regulation S-X, 0% and 0% respectively.

            control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services
            to the registrant that were approved by the registrants audit
            committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of
            Regulation S-X, 0% and 0% respectively.

            4(d)

            Fiscal year ended 2007 - 0%

            Fiscal year ended 2006 - 0%

            Percentage of services provided to the registrants investment

            to the registrant that were approved by the registrants audit
            committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of
            Regulation S-X, 0% and 0% respectively.

(f)   NA


(g)   Non-Audit Fees billed to the registrant, the registrant's investment
      adviser, and certain entities controlling, controlled by or under common

            Fiscal year ended 2006 - $76,768

(h)         The registrant's Audit Committee has considered that the provision
of non-audit services that were rendered to 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 that were not pre-approved
pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible
with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.
