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

Federated American Leaders Fund Inc.'s total returns, based on net asset value, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 were 10.26% for Class A Shares, 9.41% for Class B Shares, 9.41% for Class C Shares, 10.31% for Class F Shares, and 9.81% for Class K Shares. The total return of the fund's benchmark, the S&P 500/Citigroup Value Index 1 (the "Index") was 15.63% during the same period.

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

MARKET OVERVIEW

The U.S. equity market had an above-average return during the fund's fiscal year. Measured by the S&P 500 Index, 2 the market was up 11.83%. The fund's fiscal year, however, can be categorized in three sections. The first quarter of the fiscal year favored stocks that were smaller in terms of market capitalization, had significant financial leverage, and were considered more expensive on an earnings and cash-flow basis. The fund struggled in such an environment given our value stock-picking discipline. However, as the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") signaled the end of its interest rate tightening cycle in June, an economic slowdown became a reality. Oil prices retreated as well, allowing the inflationary picture to improve. The next two quarters of the fund's fiscal year saw cash-flow rich, inexpensive stocks outperforming more expensive stocks as distrust over the future earnings growth of the market and the economy unwound. This change in market leadership played to the fund's portfolio positioning and the fund's performance improved throughout that period. Finally, the final quarter of the fund's fiscal year brought a rare scenario of stagflationary economic conditions, during which the market stayed flat. Higher inflation and weaker profit growth caused investors to purchase more stocks in the Materials, Industrials, and Utilities sectors, which historically do well in such an economic scenario.

1 The S&P 500/Citigroup Value Index is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted index of stocks in the Standard & Poor's 500 index using the S&P 500/Citigroup multifactor methodology to score constituents as Value. The index consists of approximately half of the S&P 500 on a market capitalization basis and has relatively low turnover. Indexes are unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.

2 The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries.

The best performing sector in the Index, was the Utility sector, up 34%. The Telecommunication Services sector also had a good year, up 29%. Among the underperformers were the Information Technology sector, up only 4%, and the Industrials sector, up 5%.

FUND PERFORMANCE

The main driver of the fund's underperformance relative to the Index was poor stock selection. Stock selection was weak in Health Care, Consumer Discretionary, and Financials. Good stock selection in Information Technology was not sufficient to offset those negatives. Similarly, the fund's underweight relative to the Index in the underperforming Industrials sector was more than offset by the fund's underweights in the outperforming Utilities and Materials sectors.

Individual securities helping the fund's relative performance included Goodyear Tire (GT), IBM (IBM), and Chevron (CVX). Goodyear Tire, a tire manufacturer, was up 80% due in part to a more favorable labor union agreement struck at the end of calendar year 2006. IBM, a technology conglomerate, was up 16% while in the fund (purchased in early September), and outperformed the market by 10% through the rest of the fund's fiscal year as a result of a much better than expected execution of strategy. Finally, Chevron, an integrated oil company, returned 31% despite flat oil prices as investors removed the unwarranted discount surrounding its growth prospects.

On the negative side, the largest relative underperformers included Boston Scientific (BSX), Amgen (AMGN), and Jones New York (JNY). Boston Scientific, a health-care device manufacturer, was down 37% as safety concerns arose with both of its major product categories, the drug-eluting stent business and the cardiac defibrillator business. Amgen, a storied biotech company, was down 23% under the pressure of increasing competition and lower efficacy of its existing drug portfolio. Jones New York, an apparel maker, was down 12% as it disappointed the market with a lack of strategic direction after a drawn-out process of potential private equity involvement with the company failed.

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2007

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated American Leaders 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 five classes of shares: Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class F Shares and Class K 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 seek growth of capital and income by concentrating the area of investment decision in the securities of high-quality companies.

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:

  • for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available;
  • in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;
  • 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.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its NAV, the Fund values foreign securities using the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Directors, although the actual calculation may be done by others.

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. 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 classes A, B, C, F and K bear distribution services fees and shareholder services fees unique to those classes and Class K bears certain transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees unique to that class. 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. 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

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.

Securities Lending

The Fund participates in a securities lending program providing for the lending of equity securities to qualified brokers. The Fund normally receives cash collateral for securities loaned that is invested in short-term securities including repurchase agreements. Collateral is maintained at a minimum level of 100% of the market value of investments loaned, plus interest, if applicable. Earnings on collateral are allocated between the securities lending agent, as a fee for its services under the program, and the Fund, according to agreed-upon rates.

As of March 31, 2007, securities subject to this type of arrangement and related collateral were as follows:

Market Value of
Securities Loaned

   
Market Value
of Collateral

$107,352,500

$112,850,000

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 to differing characterization of contingent payments 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 (Loss)

   
Accumulated
Net Realized
Gains (Loss)

$(86,478)

$(20,827)

$107,305

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
Ordinary income 1

$ 42,239,449

$ 47,988,205
Long-term capital gains

$185,405,555

$190,094,189

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

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

Undistributed ordinary income
   
$
25,951,179
Undistributed long-term capital gain

$
156,806,637
Net unrealized appreciation

$
219,914,479

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for the deferral of losses on wash sales.

At March 31, 2007, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $1,942,274,340. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $219,914,479. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $281,822,227 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $61,907,748.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated Equity Management Company of Pennsylvania, the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to: (a) 0.55% 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. 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.

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:

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. 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 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, 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 of up 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%
Class K Shares

0.50%

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.

Financial intermediaries may include a company affiliated with management of Federated Investors, Inc. FSSC or these financial intermediaries may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of their fee. In addition, FSSC may voluntarily reimburse the Fund for shareholder services fees. This voluntary waiver and/or reimbursement can be modified or terminated at any time. For the year ended March 31, 2007, FSSC received $78,130 of fees paid by the Fund. A financial intermediary affiliated with management of Federated Investors, Inc. received $2,308 of Service Fees for the year ended March 31, 2007.

Expense Reduction

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 FIN 48 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)

For the year ended March 31, 2007, the amount of long-term capital gains designated by the Fund was $185,405,555.

For the fiscal year ended March 21, 2007, 85.93% of total ordinary dividends paid by the Fund are qualifying dividends which may be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15%, as provided for by the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Act of 2003. Complete information is reported in conjunction with the reporting of your distributions on Form 1099-DIV.

Of the ordinary income (including short-term capital gain) distributions made by the Fund during the year ended March 31, 2007, 81.44% qualify for the dividend received deduction available to corporate shareholders.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF FEDERATED AMERICAN LEADERS FUND, INC.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated American Leaders Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), including the portfolio of investments, as of March 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the two 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. The financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2005 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated May 18, 2005, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

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 American Leaders Fund, Inc. at March 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract

FEDERATED AMERICAN LEADERS 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.

The Fund's performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for both the one and three year periods ending December 31, 2005. The Board discussed the Fund's performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and the performance of the Fund.

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 processes, 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 contract, 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:

            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.

            Percentage of services provided to the registrants 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 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)

            Percentage of services provided to the registrants 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 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.

      adviser, and certain entities controlling, controlled by or under common
      control with the investment adviser:
            Fiscal year ended 2007 - $172,934

            Fiscal year ended 2006 - $76,562

(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.
