A. Please delete the "Summary of Fund Expenses" table on page 3 and replace it with the following: SUMMARY OF FUND EXPENSES FIRST UNION MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO CLASS C SHARES CLASS C SHARES--SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES Maximum Sales Load Imposed on Purchases (as a percentage of offering price) None Maximum Sales Load Imposed on Reinvested Dividends (as a percentage of offering price) None Contingent Deferred Sales Load (as a percentage of original purchase price or redemption proceeds, as applicable) (1) 5% during the first year, 4% during the second year, 3% during the third year, 3% during the fourth year, 2% during the fifth year, 1% during the sixth year, 1% during the seventh year, and 0% after the seventh year Redemption Fees (as a percentage of amount redeemed, if applicable) None Exchange Fee None ANNUAL CLASS C SHARES OPERATING EXPENSES* (as a percentage of projected average net assets) Management Fee (after waiver) (2) 0.11% 12b-1 Fees 0.75% Total Other Expenses 0.61% Shareholder Service Fee 0.25% Total Class C Shares Operating Expenses (3) 1.47% (1) No contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on (a) Shares purchased more than seven years prior to redemption, (b) Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions, and (c) the portion of redemption proceeds attributable to increases in the value of an account above the net cost of the investment due to increases in the net asset value per Share. (2) The management fee has been reduced to reflect anticipated voluntary waiver by the Adviser. The Adviser may terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion. The maximum management fee is 0.35%. (3) Total Class C operating expenses for the Fund are estimated to be 1.71%, absent the voluntary waiver described in note 2. *Expenses in the table are estimated based on average expenses expected to be incurred during the fiscal year ending December 31, 1994. During the course of this period, expenses may be more or less than the average amount shown. The purpose of this table is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that a shareholder of the Fund will bear, either directly or indirectly. For more complete descriptions of the various costs and expenses, see "Fees and Expenses." Wire-transferred redemptions of less than $5,000 may be subject to additional fees. Because of the asset-based sales charge, long-term shareholders may pay more than the economic equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charges permitted under the rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc ("NASD"). However, in order for a Fund investor to exceed the NASD's maximum front-end sales charge of 6.25%, a continuous investment in the Fund for 8.3 years would be required. EXAMPLE 1 year 3 years You would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 investment, assuming (1) 5% annual return and (2) redemption at the end of each time period. $67 $80 You would pay the following expenses on the same investment , assuming no redemptions $15 $46 The above example should not be considered a representation of past or future expenses. Actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown. The example for Class C Shares is based on estimated data for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1994. The information set forth in the foregoing table and example relates only to Class C Shares of the Fund. The Fund also offers two additional classes of shares called Trust Shares and Class B Shares. Trust Shares bear no sales load, 12b-1 fee or Shareholder Service Fee. Class B Shares are subject to a 12b-1 fee of 0.35 of 1% and bear no sales load or Shareholder Service Fee. See "Other Classes of Shares." B. Please delete the first paragraph and the table under the section entitled "What Shares Cost" on page 9 and replace it with the following: "Class C Shares are sold at net asset value per Share without the imposition of a sales charge at the time of purchase. Shares redeemed within seven years of their purchase will be subject to a CDSC according to the following schedule (applicable only to purchases beginning September 1, 1994): Year of Redemption Contingent Deferred After Purchase Sales Charge First 5.0% Second 4.0% Third 3.0% Fourth 3.0% Fifth 2.0% Sixth 1.0% Seventh 1.0%" C. Please insert the following paragraph as the third paragraph under the section entitled "Fund Administration" on page 13: "First Union Brokerage Services, Charlotte, North Carolina, is the shareholder servicing agent for Class C Shares of the Fund. As such, FUBS provides shareholder services which include, but are not limited to, distributing prospectuses and other information, providing shareholder assistance, and communicating or facilitating purchases and redemptions of Class C Shares. The Fund may pay FUBS a fee equal to 0.25 of 1% of the average daily net asset value of Class C Shares for which FUBS provides shareholder services. FUBS may voluntarily choose to waive all of a portion of its fee at any time." September 30, 1994 FEDERATED SECURITIES CORP.
