Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2007 to October 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 Federated Max-Cap Index Fund's Institutional Shares, Institutional Service Shares, Class C Shares, and Class K Shares produced total returns of 14.13%, 13.78%, 12.91%, and 13.29%, respectively, based on net asset value for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2007. The Fund's benchmark, the Standard and Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500), 1 posted a total return of 14.56% for the 12-month reporting period. The fund's total return for the fiscal year reflected actual cashflows, transaction costs and other expenses, which were not reflected in the total return of the benchmark.

U.S. equities, as represented by the broad-market S&P 500 Index, gained 14.56% during the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2007, despite continued weakness in the housing and subprime mortgage markets. Shares of large-cap growth companies outperformed large-cap value stocks, with the Standard and Poor's 500/Citigroup Growth Index 2 advancing 15.60%, versus the 13.55% return of the Standard & Poor's 500/Citigroup Value Index. 3 Stocks continued to post gains as strong mergers-and-acquisitions activity, solid global growth and an easing of inflation pressures helped to drive up share prices. Regarding the economy, the most recent data from the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics indicated that the U.S. unemployment rate stood at 4.7% as of October 31, 2007. The rate was unchanged from September, but was somewhat higher than the 4.1% rate in October 2006. Non-farm payroll employment rose by roughly 166,000 during the month, with gains in professional and business services, healthcare, and leisure and hospitality. Conversely, manufacturing employment fell by 21,000 in October, following a decline of 17,000 during the previous month.

1 The S&P 500 is a market 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 index is unmanaged, and investments cannot be made in an index. "Standard & Poor's®," "S&P®," "S&P 500®," "Standard & Poor's 500," and "500" are trademarks of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. and have been licensed for use by Federated Securities Corp. The Fund is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by, or affiliated with, Standard & Poor's ("S&P"). S&P makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, to the owners of the Fund or any member of the public regarding the advisability of investing in securities generally or in the Fund particularly or the ability of the S&P 500 Index to track general stock market performance.

2 The S&P 500/Citigroup Growth Index is a market capitalization-weighted index of the stocks in the S&P 500 having the highest price-to-book ratios. The index consists of approximately half of the S&P 500 on a market capitalization basis. The index is unmanaged, and investments cannot be made in an index.

3 The S&P 500/Citigroup Value Index is a market capitalization-weighted index of the stocks in the S&P 500 having the lowest price-to-book ratios. The index consists of approximately half of the S&P 500 on a market capitalization basis. The index is unmanaged, and investments cannot be made in an index.

Eight of the ten sectors 4 within the S&P 500 recorded positive performances for the 12-month reporting period. The strongest performers were energy, returning 38.4%, materials, returning 34.1%, information technology, returning 26.9%, utilities, returning 22.6% and telecommunication services, returning 22.4%. National Oilwell Varco Inc. (in the energy sector), Apple, Inc. (information technology), Amazon.com Inc. (consumer discretionary), Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. (industrials) and Monsanto Co. (materials) provided the highest individual stock returns in the S&P 500 for the year ending October 31, 2007.

The financials and consumer discretionary sectors were down 2.5% and 0.1%, respectively, for the reporting period. The weakest-performing stocks within the S&P 500 included Circuit City Stores, Inc. (consumer discretionary), MGIC Investment Corp., Countrywide Financial Corp. and Ambac Financial Group, Inc. (all in the financials sector), and Office Depot, Inc. (consumer discretionary).

The enhanced index component of the Fund made a slightly positive contribution to the Fund's performance during the reporting period. Positive contributions to performance were driven by stock substitution strategies involving the purchasing of substitutes for benchmark stocks, such as acquisition targets of benchmark companies or shares listed on another exchange. Negative contributions to performance were driven by quantitative strategies involving the overweight and underweight of stocks relative to the S&P 500. Additionally, the Fund's management of certain index changes produced a slight negative contribution to the Fund's performance.

The Fund utilized S&P 500 futures to provide equity exposure on the Fund's cash balances. While over the long term, S&P 500 futures should mirror the performance of the S&P 500, pricing disparity can appear in the short term and the Fund may benefit or be harmed by trading futures instead of stocks when money goes in and out of the Fund. During the reporting period, the trading of futures contracts had a negligible impact on the Fund.

Mutual funds are not obligations of or guaranteed by any bank and are not federally insured. Total returns shown include the maximum contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% as applicable.

1 Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund. A 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge would be applied to any redemption less than one year from the purchase date. The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The S&P 500 has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index.

2 The S&P 500 is not adjusted to reflect taxes, sales charges, expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. Indexes are unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, are not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

3 Total returns quoted reflect all applicable contingent deferred sales charges.

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2007

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated Index Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of three portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated Max-Cap Index Fund (the "Fund"), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses. The Fund offers four classes of shares: Institutional Shares, Institutional Service Shares, Class C Shares and Class K Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investment results that generally correspond to the aggregate price and dividend performance of publicly traded common stocks comprising the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America.

Investment Valuation

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

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

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

Fair Valuation and Significant Events Procedures

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

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

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

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

Repurchase Agreements

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

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

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

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. 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 Institutional Shares, Institutional Service Shares, Class C Shares and Class K Shares may bear distribution services fees, shareholder services fees, account administration fees and certain transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees unique to those classes. 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.

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.

Futures Contracts

The Fund purchases stock index futures contracts to manage cashflows, maintain exposure to the S&P 500 Index and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a stock index 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 October 31, 2007, the Fund had net realized gains on futures contracts of $3,882,654.

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

Foreign Currency Translation

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (FCs) are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rates of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of FCs, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

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 October 31, 2007, the Fund had no outstanding securities on loan.

Restricted Securities

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due in part to differing treatments for deferral of wash sales and regulatory settlement proceeds.

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

Paid-in Capital
   
Undistributed Net
Investment Income (Loss)

   
Accumulated Net
Realized Gains (Losses)

$(142,132)

$(2)

$142,134

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 October 31, 2007 and 2006, was as follows:


   
2007
   
2006
Ordinary income 1

$26,939,109

$18,005,285
Long-term capital gains

$89,963,613

$27,245,036

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

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

Undistributed ordinary income
   
$
16,528,040
Undistributed long-term capital gains

$
128,994,025
Net unrealized appreciation

$
716,315,175

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

At October 31, 2007, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $576,032,709. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes excluding any unrealized appreciation/depreciation resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and from futures contracts was $716,315,183. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $721,375,848 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $5,060,665.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Management Fee

Federated Equity Management Company of Pennsylvania is the Fund's manager (the "Manager"). The Management agreement between the Fund and Manager provides for an annual fee equal to 0.30% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, the Manager may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Manager can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Manager voluntarily waived $206,580 of its fee. In addition, an affiliate of the Manager reimbursed $269,243 of transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees and expenses. Under the terms of a subadvisory contract between the Manager and BlackRock Investment Management LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (the "Subadvisor"), the Subadvisor receives an annual fee from the Manager equal to 0.0150% times 80% of the Fund's average daily net assets plus 0.150% times 20% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

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

Share Class Name
   
Percentage of Average Daily
Net Assets of Class

Institutional Service Shares

0.30%
Class C Shares

0.75%
Class K Shares

0.50%

Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, FSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion. For the year ended October 31, 2007, FSC voluntarily waived $1,249,097 of its fee. When FSC receives fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase shares. For the year ended October 31, 2007, FSC retained $514,449 of fees paid by the Fund.

Sales Charges

For the year ended October 31, 2007, FSC retained $1,047 of contingent deferred sales charges 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 Institutional Shares, Institutional Service Shares and Class C Shares to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, FSSC may voluntarily reimburse the Fund for shareholder services fees. This voluntary reimbursement can be modified or terminated at any time. For the year ended October 31, 2007, FSSC did not receive any fees paid by the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund's Institutional Shares did not incur a shareholder services fee.

Expense Limitation

The Adviser and its affiliates (which may include FSC and FSSC) have voluntarily agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total operating expenses (as shown in the financial highlights) paid by the Fund's Institutional Shares, Institutional Service Shares, Class C Shares and Class K Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 0.35%, 0.65%, 1.45% and 1.10%, respectively, for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2008. Although these actions are voluntary, the Manager and its affiliates have agreed not to terminate these waivers and/or reimbursements until after December 31, 2008.

General

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

Transactions with Affiliated Companies

7. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from other participating affiliated funds.

As of October 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended October 31, 2007, the program was not utilized.

8. 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 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.

9. 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 the 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 April 30, 2008. At this time, management has concluded that the adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the Fund's net assets or results of operations.

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.

10. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

For the year ended October 31, 2007, the amount of long-term capital gains designated by the Fund was $89,963,613.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, 87.8% of total ordinary income (including short-term capital gain) distributions made 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 October 31, 2007, 87.8% qualify for the dividend received deduction available to corporate shareholders.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED INDEX TRUST AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MAX-CAP INDEX FUND:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated Max-Cap Index Fund (the "Fund") (one of the portfolios constituting Federated Index Trust), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 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 periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 October 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 Max-Cap Index Fund, a portfolio of Federated Index Trust at October 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 the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract

FEDERATED MAX-CAP INDEX FUND (THE "FUND")

The Fund's Board reviewed the Fund's investment advisory and subadvisory contracts at meetings held in May 2007. The Board's decision regarding these contracts reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

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

During its review of these contracts, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser and subadviser. This included the fees received for services provided to the Fund by other entities in the Federated organization and research services (if any) received by the Adviser and subadviser from brokers that execute Federated fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the performance of the Fund; the Adviser's cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize "economies of scale" as 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 what might be viewed as 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 factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund's advisory and subadvisory contracts to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by 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 and accompany the Senior Officer's evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional reports in connection with the particular meeting at which the Board's formal review of the advisory and subadvisory contracts occurred. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board's consideration of the advisory and subadvisory contracts included review of the Senior Officer's evaluation, accompanying data and additional reports covering such matters as: the Adviser's profitability, and the Adviser's and subadviser's investment philosophy, revenue, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund's short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or "peer group" funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund's investment objectives; the Fund's expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund's portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser, the subadviser, and their affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund's relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds, the Federated companies that service them, and the subadviser (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated's and/or the subadviser'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 and subadviser are 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 and subadviser's investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory and subadvisory contracts. 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, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups are highly important in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.

The Fund's performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for both the one and three year periods ending December 31, 2006. The Board discussed the Fund's performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser and subadviser. 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. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate. The Board also received financial information about the subadviser, as well as reports that discussed any indirect benefit the subadviser may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Fund trades.

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

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed a report compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer noted the limited availability of such information, but nonetheless concluded that Federated's profit margins did not appear to be excessive and the Board agreed. With respect to the subadviser, the Board noted that it had reviewed relevant information, and initially approved the current subadvisory contract, at meetings held in August 2006, in contemplation of the impending combination of the asset management businesses of the Fund's former subadviser with another asset management firm. The combination took place in the latter part of 2006. In connection with the Board's present review, the subadviser had informed the Board that it was still in the process of implementing post-merger changes to relevant accounting systems, and that this is affecting its cost allocation capabilities. Consequently, the subadviser was unable to furnish profitability information for the Board's consideration at the May 2007 meetings, but undertook to provide the 2006 profitability information with respect to the Fund for consideration at a Board meeting later in 2007.

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

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

The Senior Officer's evaluation noted his belief that the information and observations contained in his evaluation supported his finding that the proposed management fees are reasonable, and that Federated appeared to provide appropriate administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund's advisory and subadvisory contracts. For 2006, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, and by the subadviser, were satisfactory.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund's operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser's industry standing and reputation and 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 and subadvisory contracts on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board's decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated's performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2007 to October 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. 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.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Federated Mid-Cap Index Fund produced a total return of 16.59%, based on net asset value, during the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2007. The Fund's benchmark, the Standard and Poor's MidCap 400 Index (S&P 400), 1 posted a total return of 17.02% during the reporting period. The fund's total return for the fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses, which were not reflected in the total return of the benchmark.

U.S. equities, as represented by the broad-market S&P 500 Index, 2 gained 14.56% during the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2007, despite continued weakness in the housing and subprime mortgage markets. Shares of mid-cap companies outperformed large- and small-cap stocks, with the Standard and Poor's MidCap 400 Index advancing 17.02%, versus the 14.56% and 11.55% returns of the Standard and Poor's 500 ® Index (S&P 500) and the Standard and Poor's 600 ® Index 3 (S&P 600), respectively. Strong mergers-and-acquisitions activity, solid global growth and an easing of inflation pressures helped to drive up equity prices during the reporting period. Regarding the economy, the most recent data from the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics indicated that the U.S. unemployment rate stood at 4.7% at October 31, 2007. The rate was unchanged from September, but was somewhat higher than the 4.1% rate in October 2006. Non-farm payroll employment rose by roughly 166,000 during the month, with gains in professional and business services, healthcare, and leisure and hospitality. However, manufacturing employment fell by 21,000 in October, following a decline of 17,000 during the previous month.

1 The S&P 400 is a market capitalization weighted index of common stocks representing all major industries in the mid-range of the U.S. stock market. The index is unmanaged, and investments cannot be made in an index.

2 The S&P 500 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 index is unmanaged, and investments cannot be made in an index.

3 The S&P 600 ® is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted index representing all major industries in the small-cap of the U.S. stock market. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made in an index.

Nine of the ten sectors 4 in the S&P 400 finished in positive territory for the reporting period, led by energy, returning 42.2%; materials, returning 37.6%; telecommunication services, returning 33.4%; and industrials, returning 30.6%. CF Industries Holdings Inc. and Terra Industries Inc. (both in the materials sector), Intuitive Surgical Inc. (in the healthcare section), and Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. and GameStop Corp. (both in the consumer discretionary sector) were the strongest individual stock performers within the Index for the period.

Only the financials sector, which declined 1.4%, recorded a negative return for the year. However, the consumer discretionary (+3.8%) and utilities (+11.9%) sectors considerably underperformed the return of the S&P 400. Weaker performing stocks within the S&P 400 for the reporting period included Radian Group Inc. (financials), Coldwater Creek Inc. (consumer discretionary), UTStarcom Inc. (information technology), IndyMac Bancorp Inc. (financials) and Hovnanian Enterprises Inc. (consumer discretionary).

The Fund utilized S&P 400 futures to provide equity exposure on the Fund's cash balances. While over the long term S&P 400 futures should mirror the performance of the S&P 400, pricing disparity can occur in the short term, and the Fund may benefit or be harmed by trading futures instead of stocks when money goes in and out of the Fund. During the reporting period, the Fund benefited from its trading of futures contracts.

4 Sector classifications are based upon the classification of the Standard & Poor's Global Industry Classification Standard (SPGICS).

2 Cash collateral received from lending portfolio securities which is invested in short-term investments such as repurchase agreements or money market mutual funds.

3 Cash Equivalents includes any investments in money market mutual funds and/or overnight repurchase agreements (other than those representing Securities Lending Collateral).

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

5 The Fund purchases index futures contracts to efficiently manage cash flows resulting from shareholder purchases and redemptions, dividend and capital gain payments to shareholders and corporate actions while maintaining exposure to the index and minimizing trading costs. Taking into consideration these open index futures contracts, the Fund's total exposure to the S&P MidCap 400 Index is effectively 100.2%.

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2007

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated Index Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of three portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated Mid-Cap Index Fund (the "Fund"), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investment results generally corresponding to the aggregate price and dividend performance of the publicly traded common stocks that comprise the mid-level stock capitalization sector of the U.S. equity market. This group of stocks is known as the S&P MidCap 400 Index.

On March 24, 2006, the Fund received assets from the Mason Street Index 400 Stock Fund as the result of a tax-free reorganization, as follows:

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America.

Investment Valuation

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

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

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

Fair Valuation and Significant Events Procedures

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

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

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

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

Repurchase Agreements

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

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

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

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income are declared and paid quarterly. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value.

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.

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.

Futures Contracts

The Fund purchases stock index futures contracts to manage cashflows, maintain exposure to the S&P MidCap 400 Index and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a stock index 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 October 31, 2007, the Fund had net realized gains on futures contracts of $19,085,686.

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

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 an affiliated money market fund or other 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 October 31, 2007, securities subject to this type of arrangement and related collateral were as follows:

Market Value of
Securities Loaned

   
Market Value
of Collateral

$80,516,416

$84,485,855

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.

11,129,336

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 treatments for regulatory settlement proceeds.

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

Increase (Decrease)
Paid-In Capital
   
Accumulated
Net Realized
Gains (Losses)

$(44,281)

$44,281

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 October 31, 2007 and 2006, was as follows:


   
2007
   
2006
Ordinary income 1

$23,510,251

$19,462,785
Long-term capital gains

$48,637,896

$41,927,648

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

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

Undistributed ordinary income
   
$
7,653,981
Undistributed long-term capital gain

$
111,659,567
Net unrealized appreciation

$
304,772,392

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

At October 31, 2007, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $1,035,311,588. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes excluding any unrealized appreciation resulting from futures contracts was $304,772,405. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $367,968,708 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $63,196,303.

5. MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Management Fee

Federated Equity Management Company of Pennsylvania is the Fund's manager (the "Manager"). The management agreement between the Fund and Manager provides for an annual fee equal to 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Under the terms of a subadvisory contract between the Manager and BlackRock Investment Management LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (the "Subadvisor"), the Subadvisor receives an annual fee from the Manager equal to 0.030% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, the Manager may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Manager can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Manager voluntarily waived $2,443,671 of its fee.

Shareholder Services Fee

The Fund may pay fees (Service Fees) up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Shares to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. Financial intermediaries may include a company affiliated with management of Federated Investors, Inc. Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, FSSC may voluntarily reimburse the Fund for shareholder services fees.

7. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from other participating affiliated funds.

As of October 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended October 31, 2007, the program was not utilized.

8. 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 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.

9. 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 April 30, 2008. At this time, management has concluded that the adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the Fund's net assets or results of operations.

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.

10. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

For the year ended October 31, 2007, the amount of long-term capital gains designated by the Fund was $48,637,896.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, 63.63% of total ordinary income (including short-term capital gain) distributions made 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 October 31, 2007, 63.62% qualify for the dividend received deduction available to corporate shareholders.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED INDEX TRUST AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MID-CAP INDEX FUND:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated Mid-Cap Index Fund (the "Fund") (one of the portfolios constituting Federated Index Trust), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 October 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 Mid-Cap Index Fund, a portfolio of Federated Index Trust at October 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 the 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 MID-CAP INDEX FUND (THE "FUND")

The Fund's Board reviewed the Fund's investment advisory and subadvisory contracts at meetings held in May 2007. The Board's decision regarding these contracts reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

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

During its review of these contracts, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser and subadviser. This included the fees received for services provided to the Fund by other entities in the Federated organization and research services (if any) received by the Adviser and subadviser from brokers that execute Federated fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the performance of the Fund; the Adviser's cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize "economies of scale" as 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 what might be viewed as 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 factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund's advisory and subadvisory contracts to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by 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 and accompany the Senior Officer's evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional reports in connection with the particular meeting at which the Board's formal review of the advisory and subadvisory contracts occurred. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board's consideration of the advisory and subadvisory contracts included review of the Senior Officer's evaluation, accompanying data and additional reports covering such matters as: the Adviser's profitability, and the Adviser's and subadviser's investment philosophy, revenue, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund's short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or "peer group" funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund's investment objectives; the Fund's expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund's portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser, the subadviser, and their affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund's relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds, the Federated companies that service them, and the subadviser (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated's and/or the subadviser'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 and subadviser are 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 and subadviser's investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory and subadvisory contracts. 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, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups are highly important in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.

The Fund's performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for both the one and three year periods ending December 31, 2006. The Board discussed the Fund's performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser and subadviser. 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. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate. The Board also received financial information about the subadviser, as well as reports that discussed any indirect benefit the subadviser may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Fund trades.

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

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed a report compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer noted the limited availability of such information, but nonetheless concluded that Federated's profit margins did not appear to be excessive and the Board agreed. With respect to the subadviser, the Board noted that it had reviewed relevant information, and initially approved the current subadvisory contract, at meetings held in August 2006, in contemplation of the impending combination of the asset management businesses of the Fund's former subadviser with another asset management firm. The combination took place in the latter part of 2006. In connection with the Board's present review, the subadviser had informed the Board that it was still in the process of implementing post-merger changes to relevant accounting systems, and that this is affecting its cost allocation capabilities. Consequently, the subadviser was unable to furnish profitability information for the Board's consideration at the May 2007 meetings, but undertook to provide the 2006 profitability information with respect to the Fund for consideration at a Board meeting later in 2007.

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

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

The Senior Officer's evaluation noted his belief that the information and observations contained in his evaluation supported his finding that the proposed management fees are reasonable, and that Federated appeared to provide appropriate administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund's advisory and subadvisory contracts. For 2006, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, and by the subadviser, were satisfactory.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund's operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser's industry standing and reputation and 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 and subadvisory contracts on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board's decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated's performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder service 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 May 1, 2007 to October 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 Federated Mini-Cap Index Fund's Institutional Shares produced a total return of 8.31% while the Fund's Class C Shares produced a total return of 7.39%, based on net asset value, during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2007. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 ® Index (RUS2), 1 returned 9.27% during the 12-month reporting period. The Fund's total return for the fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses, which were not reflected in the total return of the benchmark.

The RUS2 had positive returns in the first half of the reporting period, advancing 6.86% between November 1, 2006 and April 30, 2007. The RUS2 fell 4.44% during the Fund's fiscal third quarter, May 1 to July 31, 2007, before rebounding with a 7.01% gain in the last three months of the reporting period.

Nine of the ten sectors 2 in the RUS2 recorded gains for the reporting period, led by materials, returning 41.6%, energy, returning 21.2%, telecommunication services, returning 20.5% and information technology, returning 18.4%. The strongest performers among individual stocks were CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (in the materials sector), aQuantive, Inc. (consumer discretionary), AK Steel Holding Corp. and Terra Industries, Inc. (both in the materials sector), and Flir Systems, Inc. (information technology).

The Fund utilized RUS2 futures to provide equity exposure on the Fund's cash balances. While over the long-term RUS2 futures should mirror the performance of the RUS2, pricing disparity can appear in the short term and the Fund may benefit from or be harmed by trading futures instead of stocks when money goes in and out of the Fund. During the reporting period, the Fund benefited from its trading of futures contracts.

1 The RUS2 measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, which represents approximately 8% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index. The index is unmanaged, and investments cannot be made in an index. The Russell 2000 Index is a trademark/service mark for the Frank Russell Company. The Fund is neither affiliated with, nor promoted, sponsored or endorsed by the Frank Russell Company. Frank Russell's only relationship to the Fund is the licensing of the use of the Index. Frank Russell Company is owner of the trademarks and copyrights relating to the Index.

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2007

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated Index Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of three portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated Mini-Cap Index Fund (the "Fund"), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses. The Fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional 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 investment results that correspond to the aggregate price and dividend performance of approximately 2,000 publicly traded common stocks that are ranked in terms of capitalization below the top 1,000 stocks that comprise the large and mid-range capitalization sector of the United States equity market. This group of stocks is known as the Russell 2000 ® Index.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America.

Investment Valuation

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

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

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

Fair Valuation and Significant Events Procedures

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

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

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

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

Repurchase Agreements

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

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

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

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income are declared and paid annually. 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 may bear certain expenses unique to that class such as account administration, 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.

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.

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.

Futures Contracts

The Fund purchases stock index futures contracts to manage cashflows, maintain exposure to the Russell 2000 Index and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a stock index 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 October 31, 2007, the Fund had net realized gains on futures contracts of $943,778.

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

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 an affiliated money market fund or 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 October 31, 2007, securities subject to this type of arrangement and related collateral were as follows:

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended October 31, 2007 and 2006, was as follows:


   
2007
   
2006
Ordinary income 1

$ 1,533,452

$ 158,928
Long-term capital gains

$11,066,303

$3,678,588

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

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

Undistributed ordinary income
   
$
1,267,617
Undistributed long-term capital gain

$
6,524,951
Net unrealized appreciation

$
28,668,969

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

At October 31, 2007, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $74,968,637. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes excluding any unrealized appreciation resulting from futures contracts was $28,668,969. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $35,948,555 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $7,279,586.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Management Fee

Federated Equity Management Company of Pennsylvania is the Fund's manager (the "Manager"). The advisory agreement between the Fund and Manager provides for an annual fee equal to 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, the Manager may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Manager can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Manager voluntarily waived $136,666 of its fee. Under the terms of a subadvisory contract between the Manager and BlackRock Investment Management LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (the "Subadviser"), the Subadviser receives an annual fee from the Manager equal to 0.030% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

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 C Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses at 0.75% of average daily net assets, annually, to compensate FSC. When FSC receives fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase shares. For the year ended October 31, 2007, FSC retained $59,365 of fees paid by the Fund.

Sales Charges

For the year ended October 31, 2007, FSC retained $32 of contingent deferred sales charges 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 Institutional Shares and Class C Shares to financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. Financial intermediaries may include a company affiliated with management of Federated Investors, Inc. Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation footnote, FSSC may voluntarily reimburse the Fund for shareholder services fees. This voluntary reimbursement can be modified or terminated at any time. A financial intermediary affiliated with management of Federated Investors, Inc. received $3,761 of Service Fees for the year ended October 31, 2007. For the year ended October 31, 2007, FSSC voluntarily reimbursed $87,932 of shareholder services fees. For the year ended October 31, 2007, FSSC did not receive any fees paid by the Fund.

Expense Limitation

The Manager and its affiliates (which may include FSC and FSSC) have voluntarily agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total operating expenses (as shown in the financial highlights) paid by the Fund's Institutional Shares and Class C Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 0.94% and 1.82%, respectively, for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2008. Although these actions are voluntary, the Manager and its affiliates have agreed not to terminate these waivers and/or reimbursements until after December 31, 2008.

General

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

Transactions with Affiliated Companies

Affiliated holdings are mutual funds which are managed by the Manager or an affiliate of the Manager. The Manager has agreed to reimburse the Fund for certain investment adviser fees as a result of transactions in other affiliated mutual funds. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Manager reimbursed $175 in connection with the affiliated mutual fund listed below.

7. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from other participating affiliated funds. As of October 31, 2007, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended October 31, 2007, the program was not utilized.

8. 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 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.

9. 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 April 30, 2008. At this time, management has concluded that the adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the Fund's net assets or results of operations.

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.

10. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

For the year ended October 31, 2007, the amount of long-term capital gains designated by the Fund was $11,066,303.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, 45.9% of total ordinary income (including short-term capital gain) distributions made 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 October 31, 2007, 45.5% qualify for the dividend received deduction available to corporate shareholders.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FEDERATED INDEX TRUST AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MINI-CAP INDEX FUND:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated Mini-Cap Index Fund (the "Fund") (one of the portfolios constituting Federated Index Trust), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 October 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 Mini-Cap Index Fund, a portfolio of Federated Index Trust at October 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 the 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 MINI-CAP INDEX FUND (THE "FUND")

The Fund's Board reviewed the Fund's investment advisory and subadvisory contracts at meetings held in May 2007. The Board's decision regarding these contracts reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

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

During its review of these contracts, the Board considered compensation and benefits received by the Adviser and subadviser. This included the fees received for services provided to the Fund by other entities in the Federated organization and research services (if any) received by the Adviser and subadviser from brokers that execute Federated fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the performance of the Fund; the Adviser's cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize "economies of scale" as 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 what might be viewed as 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 factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund's advisory and subadvisory contracts to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by 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 and accompany the Senior Officer's evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional reports in connection with the particular meeting at which the Board's formal review of the advisory and subadvisory contracts occurred. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board's consideration of the advisory and subadvisory contracts included review of the Senior Officer's evaluation, accompanying data and additional reports covering such matters as: the Adviser's profitability, and the Adviser's and subadviser's investment philosophy, revenue, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund's short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or "peer group" funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund's investment objectives; the Fund's expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund's portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser, the subadviser, and their affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund's relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds, the Federated companies that service them, and the subadviser (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated's and/or the subadviser'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 and subadviser are 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 and subadviser's investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory and subadvisory contracts. 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, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups are highly important in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.

The Fund's performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for both the one and three year periods ending December 31, 2006. The Board discussed the Fund's performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser and subadviser. 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. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate. The Board also received financial information about the subadviser, as well as reports that discussed any indirect benefit the subadviser may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Fund trades.

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

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed a report compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer noted the limited availability of such information, but nonetheless concluded that Federated's profit margins did not appear to be excessive and the Board agreed. With respect to the subadviser, the Board noted that it had reviewed relevant information, and initially approved the current subadvisory contract, at meetings held in August 2006, in contemplation of the impending combination of the asset management businesses of the Fund's former subadviser with another asset management firm. The combination took place in the latter part of 2006. In connection with the Board's present review, the subadviser had informed the Board that it was still in the process of implementing post-merger changes to relevant accounting systems, and that this is affecting its cost allocation capabilities. Consequently, the subadviser was unable to furnish profitability information for the Board's consideration at the May 2007 meetings, but undertook to provide the 2006 profitability information with respect to the Fund for consideration at a Board meeting later in 2007.

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

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

The Senior Officer's evaluation noted his belief that the information and observations contained in his evaluation supported his finding that the proposed management fees are reasonable, and that Federated appeared to provide appropriate administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund's advisory and subadvisory contracts. For 2006, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and scope of services provided the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, and by the subadviser, were satisfactory.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund's operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser's industry standing and reputation and 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 and subadvisory contracts on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board's decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated's performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

(e)(1)      Audit Committee Policies regarding Pre-approval of Services.

            The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve audit and non-audit
services performed by the independent auditor in order to assure that the
provision of such services do not impair the auditor's independence.  Unless a
type of service to be provided by the independent auditor has received general
pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.  Any
proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-
approval by the Audit Committee.

            Certain services have the general pre-approval of the Audit
Committee.  The term of the general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of
pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different
period.  The Audit Committee will annually review the services that may be
provided by the independent auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from
the Audit Committee and may grant general pre-approval for such services.  The
Audit Committee will revise the list of general pre-approved services from time
to time, based on subsequent determinations.  The Audit Committee will not
delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the
independent auditor to management.

            The Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to its
Chairman.  The Chairman will report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit
Committee at its next scheduled meeting.  The Committee will designate another
member with such pre-approval authority when the Chairman is unavailable.

AUDIT SERVICES

      The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees will be subject to the
specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee.  The Audit Committee must approve
any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope,
registered investment company (RIC) structure or other matters.

      In addition to the annual Audit services engagement specifically approved
by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval for
other Audit Services, which are those services that only the independent auditor
reasonably can provide.  The Audit Committee has pre-approved certain Audit
services, all other Audit services must be specifically pre-approved by the
Audit Committee.

AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES

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

TAX SERVICES

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

ALL OTHER SERVICES

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

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


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

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

PRE-APPROVAL FEE LEVELS

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

PROCEDURES

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

(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:

            committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of
            Regulation S-X, 0% and 0% respectively.

            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)

            Fiscal year ended 2007 - 0%

            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
      control with the investment adviser:
            Fiscal year ended 2007 - $146,930

            Fiscal year ended 2006 - $161,706

(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.
