WHAT ARE THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGIES?

The Fund invests in a portfolio of high quality fixed income securities maturing
in one year or less.  The average  maturity of the Fund's  portfolio  will be 90
days or less.

In order to  select  individual  investments,  the  Fund's  Adviser  performs  a
fundamental  credit  analysis  to  develop  an  approved  list  of  issuers  and
securities  that  meet the  Adviser's  minimum  credit  standards.  The  Adviser
assesses  likely  movements in interest  rates based upon  general  economic and
market conditions.  Considering this assessment,  the Adviser targets an average
portfolio maturity range. The Adviser generally shortens the portfolio's average
maturity when it expects interest rates to rise and extends the maturity when it
expects interest rates to fall. In adjusting the portfolio's  average  maturity,
the Adviser selects among investments with different  maturities comparing their
relative returns.

WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPAL SECURITIES IN WHICH THE FUND INVESTS?

FIXED INCOME SECURITIES pay interest,  dividends or distributions at a specified
rate.  The  rate  may  be a  fixed  percentage  of  the  principal  or  adjusted
periodically.  In addition,  the issuer must repay the  principal  amount of the
security,  normally within a specified  time. The Fund invests  primarily in the
following types of fixed income securities.

        CORPORATE  DEBT  SECURITIES  are  fixed  income   securities  issued  by
        businesses.  Notes, bonds,  debentures and commercial paper are the most
        prevalent types of corporate debt securities. The Fund may also purchase
        interests in bank loans to companies. The credit risks of corporate debt
        securities vary widely among issuers.

           COMMERCIAL  PAPER is an issuer's draft  obligation with a maturity of
           less than nine months.  Companies typically issue commercial paper to
           pay for current  expenditures.  Most issuers constantly reissue their
           commercial  paper  and use the  proceeds  (or  bank  loans)  to repay
           maturing paper. If the issuer cannot continue to obtain  liquidity in
           this fashion, its commercial paper may default.

           DEMAND INSTRUMENTS are corporate debt securities that the issuer must
           repay upon demand.  Other demand  instruments  require a third party,
           such as a dealer or bank,  to  repurchase  the  security for its face
           value upon demand.  The Fund treats demand  instruments as short-term
           securities,  even though their stated  maturity may extend beyond one
           year.

        BANK  INSTRUMENTS are unsecured  interest  bearing  deposits with banks.
        Bank instruments include bank accounts,  time deposits,  certificates of
        deposit and banker's acceptances.

        ASSET  BACKED  SECURITIES  are payable  from pools of debt  obligations.
        Almost any type of fixed  income  assets  (including  other fixed income
        securities)  may be used to create an asset  backed  security.  However,
        most asset backed  securities  involve consumer or commercial debts with
        maturities of less than ten years.  Asset backed securities may take the
        form of  commercial  paper or notes,  in  addition  to simple  ownership
        interests in the underlying debt obligations.

        CREDIT ENHANCEMENT  consists of an arrangement in which a company agrees
        to pay amounts due on a fixed income security after the issuer defaults.
        In some  cases  the  company  providing  credit  enhancement  makes  all
        payments  directly to the security  holders and  receives  reimbursement
        from the issuer.  Normally,  the credit  enhancer has greater  financial
        resources and liquidity  than the issuer.  For this reason,  the Adviser
        usually  evaluates  the credit  risk of a fixed  income  security  based
        solely upon its credit  enhancement.  The Adviser purchases fixed income
        securities that have been credit enhanced.

        Common  types of  credit  enhancement  include  guarantees,  letters  of
        credit,  bond  insurance  and  surety  bonds.  Credit  enhancement  also
        includes  arrangements  where  securities  or other liquid assets secure
        payment of a fixed income security. If a default occurs, these asset may
        be sold and the  proceeds  paid to  security's  holders.  Either form of
        credit  enhancement  reduces credit risks by providing another source of
        payment for a fixed income security.

REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS are transactions in which the Fund buys a security from a
dealer or bank and agrees to sell the  security  back at a mutually  agreed upon
time and price.  The  repurchase  price exceeds the sale price,  reflecting  the
Fund's return on the transaction.  This return is unrelated to the interest rate
on the underlying security.  The Fund will enter into repurchase agreements only
with  banks and other  recognized  financial  institutions,  such as  securities
dealers, deemed creditworthy by the Adviser.

Repurchase agreements are subject to CREDIT RISKS.

INVESTMENT RATINGS

The securities in which the Fund invests must be rated in one of the two highest
short-term  rating  categories  by  one or  more  nationally  recognized  rating
services  or be  of  comparable  quality  to  securities  having  such  ratings.
Nationally  recognized  ratings services include Standard & Poor's,  Fitch IBCA,
Inc., and Moody's Investors Service, Inc.

WHAT ARE THE SPECIFIC RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

Although  there are many factors which may affect an investment in the Fund, the
principal  risks of  investing in a corporate  money  market fund are  described
below.

MARKET RISK

Prices of fixed  income  securities  rise and fall in response to interest  rate
changes for similar securities.  Generally,  when interest rates rise, prices of
fixed income securities fall.

Interest  rate  changes  have a  greater  effect  on the  price of fixed  income
securities with longer maturities.  Money market funds try to minimize this risk
by purchasing short-term securities.

CREDIT RISK

Credit  risk is the  possibility  that an issuer  will  default  (fails to repay
interest  and  principal  when due).  If an issuer  defaults,  the Fund may lose
money. Money market funds try to minimize this risk by purchasing higher quality
securities.

Many fixed income  securities  receive  credit  ratings from  companies  such as
Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investor Services. Fixed income securities receive
different  credit ratings  depending on the rating  company's  assessment of the
likelihood of default by the issuer.  The lower the credit  rating,  the greater
the credit risk.

WHAT DO SHARES COST?

You can purchase,  redeem or exchange Shares any day the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) is open. When the Fund receives your transaction  request in proper form,
it is processed at the next determined net asset value (NAV).

The Fund does not charge a front-end  sales  charge.  NAV is determined at 12:00
noon and 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) and as of the end of regular trading (normally
4:00 p.m. Eastern time) each day the NYSE is open.

The  required  minimum  initial  investment  for Fund Shares is $500 (except for
retirement plans). There is no required minimum subsequent investment amount.

An  account  may be  opened  with a smaller  amount as long as the $500  minimum
(except  for  retirement  plans) is  reached  within 90 days.  An  institutional
investor's  minimum  investment  is  calculated  by  combining  all  accounts it
maintains with the Fund. Accounts  established through investment  professionals
may be  subject  to a  smaller  minimum  investment  amount.  Keep in mind  that
investment  professionals  may charge you fees for their  services in connection
with your Share transactions.

SALES CHARGE WHEN YOU REDEEM

Your redemption proceeds may be reduced by a sales charge,  commonly referred to
as a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC).

A CDSC will be imposed only in certain  instances in which the Fund Shares being
redeemed  were  acquired  in  exchange  for Class F Shares of certain  Federated
Funds. (See "Exchange Privileges"). If Fund Shares were acquired in exchange for
Class F Shares of certain  Federated  Funds,  a redemption of Fund Shares within
four years of the initial  Class F Share  purchase  will be subject to a CDSC of
1%.

YOU WILL NOT BE CHARGED A CDSC WHEN REDEEMING SHARES:

o       purchased with reinvested dividends or capital gains;

o       purchased within 120 days of redeeming Shares of an equal or lesser
   amount;

o  that you exchanged into the same share class of another  Federated Fund where
   the shares were held for the  applicable  CDSC holding  period  (other than a
   money market fund);

o       purchased through investment professionals that did not receive
   advanced sales payments; or

O       if you have certain disabilities as defined by the IRS.

IN ADDITION, YOU WILL NOT BE CHARGED A CDSC:

o       if the Fund redeems your Shares and closes your account for not meeting
   the minimum balance requirement;

o       if your redemption is a required retirement plan distribution;

o       upon the death of the last surviving shareholder(s).

If your redemption qualifies,  you or your investment professional should notify
the  Distributor  at the  time of  redemption  to  eliminate  the  CDSC.  If the
Distributor is not notified, the CDSC will apply.

TO KEEP THE SALES  CHARGE AS LOW AS  POSSIBLE,  THE FUND  REDEEMS YOUR SHARES IN
THIS ORDER:

o       Shares that are not subject to a CDSC;

o  Shares held the longest  (to  determine  the number of years your Shares have
   been held,  include  the time you held shares of other  Federated  Funds that
   have been exchanged for Shares of this Fund); and

o  then, the CDSC is calculated using the share price at the time of purchase or
   redemption, whichever is lower.

HOW IS THE FUND SOLD?

The Fund's Distributor, Federated Securities Corp., markets the Shares described
in this  prospectus to investors with temporary cash balances and investors with
cash reserves.  The  Distributor  and its affiliates may pay out of their assets
other amounts  (including  items of material value) to investment  professionals
for marketing and servicing Shares. The Distributor is a subsidiary of Federated
Investors, Inc. (Federated).

HOW TO PURCHASE SHARES

You may purchase  Shares through an investment  professional,  directly from the
Fund, or through an exchange from the Class F Shares of certain Federated Funds.
The Fund  reserves  the right to reject any  request  to  purchase  or  exchange
Shares.


<PAGE>



THROUGH AN INVESTMENT PROFESSIONAL

o       Establish an account with the investment professional; and

o  Submit your purchase  order to the investment  professional  before 3:00 p.m.
   (Eastern  time).  You will  receive  that day's  dividend  if the  investment
   professional  forwards the order to the Fund and the Fund receives payment by
   3:00 p.m.  (Eastern  time).  You will  become the owner of Shares and receive
   dividends when the Fund receives your payment.

Investment  professionals  should send payments according to the instructions in
the sections "By Wire" or "By Check."

DIRECTLY FROM THE FUND

o       Establish your account with the Fund by submitting a completed New
   Account Form; and

o       Send your payment to the Fund by Federal Reserve wire or check.

You will  become the owner of Shares on the day the Fund  receives  your wire or
your check. If your check does not clear, your purchase will be canceled and you
could be liable for any losses or fees the Fund or its transfer agent incurs.

An  institution  may establish an account and place an order by calling the Fund
and will become a shareholder on the day the Fund receives the order.

   Reserve System member.

REDEMPTION IN KIND

Although  the Fund  intends to pay Share  redemptions  in cash,  it reserves the
right to pay the redemption  price in whole or in part by a distribution  of the
Fund's portfolio securities.


<PAGE>



LIMITATIONS ON REDEMPTION PROCEEDS

Redemption  proceeds  normally are wired or mailed within one business day after
receiving a request in proper form. Payment may be delayed up to seven days:

o       to allow your purchase to clear;

o       during periods of market volatility; or

o  when a shareholder's  trade activity or amount  adversely  impacts the Fund's
   ability to manage its assets.

You will not accrue  interest or dividends  on uncashed  checks from the Fund if
those checks are undeliverable and returned to the Fund.

EXCHANGE PRIVILEGES

You may  exchange  Shares of the Fund into Class F Shares of  certain  Federated
Funds. To do this, you must:

o       ensure that the account registrations are identical;

o       meet any minimum initial investment requirements; and

o       receive a prospectus for the fund into which you wish to exchange.

An exchange  is treated as a  redemption  and a  subsequent  purchase,  and is a
taxable transaction.

The Fund may modify or terminate the exchange  privilege at any time. The Fund's
management or investment  adviser may determine  from the amount,  frequency and
pattern of exchanges that a shareholder is engaged in excessive  trading that is
detrimental  to the Fund and other  shareholders.  If this occurs,  the Fund may
terminate the  availability  of exchanges to that  shareholder  and may bar that
shareholder from purchasing other Federated Funds.

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL/EXCHANGE PROGRAM

You may automatically redeem or exchange Shares in a minimum amount of $100 on a
regular basis.  Complete the  appropriate  section of the New Account Form or an
Account  Service  Options Form or contact your  investment  professional  or the
Fund. Your account value must meet the minimum initial  investment amount at the
time the  program is  established.  This  program  may  reduce,  and  eventually
deplete, your account. Payments should not be considered yield or income.

CHECKWRITING

You may request a checking account to redeem your Fund Shares. Your account will
continue  to receive  the daily  dividend  declared on the Shares to be redeemed
until the check is  presented  for  payment.  Checks may be made payable only to
third-parties and may not be used to redeem Shares or to close your account.

ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS

TELEPHONE TRANSACTIONS

The Fund will record your  telephone  instructions.  If the Fund does not follow
reasonable  procedures,  it may be liable  for  losses  due to  unauthorized  or
fraudulent telephone instructions.

SHARE CERTIFICATES

The Fund no longer issues share certificates. If you are redeeming or exchanging
Shares  represented  by  certificates  previously  issued by the Fund,  you must
return the certificates with your written  redemption or exchange  request.  For
your protection,  send your certificates by registered or certified mail, but do
not endorse them.

ACCOUNT AND SHARE INFORMATION

CONFIRMATIONS AND ACCOUNT STATEMENTS

You will receive  confirmation of purchases,  redemptions and exchanges  (except
for systematic transactions). You will receive periodic statements reporting all
account activity,  including  (systematic  transactions),  dividends and capital
gains paid.

DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS

The Fund declares any dividends daily and pays them monthly to shareholders.  If
you purchase shares by wire, you begin earning dividends on the day your wire is
received.  If you purchase shares by check,  you begin earning  dividends on the
business  day after the Fund  receives  your  check.  In either  case,  you earn
dividends through the day your redemption request is received.

In addition,  the Fund pays any capital gains at least annually.  Your dividends
and capital gains  distributions will be automatically  reinvested in additional
Shares without a sales charge, unless you elect cash payments.

Contact your investment professional or the Fund for information concerning when
dividends and capital gains will be paid.

ACCOUNTS WITH LOW BALANCES

Due to the high cost of maintaining accounts with low balances,  accounts may be
closed if redemptions or exchanges  cause the account  balance to fall below the
minimum  initial  investment  amount.  Before an account is closed,  you will be
notified and allowed 30 days to purchase additional Shares to meet the minimum.

TAX INFORMATION

The Fund sends an annual  statement  of your  account  activity to assist you in
completing  your federal,  state and local tax returns.  Fund  distributions  of
dividends  and  capital  gains  are  taxable  to you  whether  paid  in  cash or
reinvested in the Fund.  Dividend and capital gains distributions are taxable at
different rates depending upon the length of time the Fund holds its assets.

Fund  distributions  are expected to be  primarily  dividends.  Redemptions  and
exchanges are taxable  sales.  Please  consult your tax adviser  regarding  your
federal, state, and local tax liability.

WHO MANAGES THE FUND?

The Board of  Directors  governs the Fund.  The Board  selects and  oversees the
Adviser,  Federated Advisers.  The Adviser manages the Fund's assets,  including
buying and selling  portfolio  securities.  The  Adviser's  address is Federated
Investors Tower, 1001 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-3779.

The  Adviser  and  other   subsidiaries  of  Federated   advise  and/or  provide
administrative  services  to more than 300 mutual  funds and  private  accounts,
which total over $120 billion in assets as of December 31, 1997.  Federated  was
established in 1955 and is one of the largest mutual fund investment managers in
the  United  States  with more  than  2,000  employees.  Over  4,000  investment
professionals make Federated Funds available to their customers.


<PAGE>



ADVISORY FEES

The Adviser  receives an annual  investment  advisory fee of based on the Fund's
average net assets as shown in the chart  below.  The  Adviser  may  voluntarily
waive a portion of its fee or reimburse the Fund for certain operating expenses.

 AVERAGE DAILY NET              ADVISORY FEES AS PERCENTAGE OF AVERAGE DAILY NET
ASSETS                          ASSETS

First $500 million              0.500 of 1%
Second $500 million             0.475 of 1%
Third $500 million              0.450 of 1%
Fourth $500 million             0.425 of 1%
Over $2 billion                 0.400 of 1%



YEAR 2000 READINESS

The "Year 2000" problem is the potential for computer errors or failures because
certain  computer  systems may be unable to interpret  dates after  December 31,
1999. The Year 2000 problem may cause systems to process information incorrectly
and could disrupt businesses that rely on computers, like the Fund.

While it is impossible to determine in advance all of the risks to the Fund, the
Fund  could   experience   interruptions  in  basic  financial  and  operational
functions.  Fund  shareholders  could  experience  errors or disruptions in Fund
share transactions or Fund communications.

The Fund's service providers are making changes to their computer systems to fix
any Year 2000 problems. In addition, they are working to gather information from
third-party providers to determine their Year 2000 readiness.

Year 2000 problems would also increase the risks of the Fund's  investments.  To
assess the potential  effect of the Year 2000 problem,  the Adviser is reviewing
information  regarding the Year 2000 readiness of issuers of securities the Fund
may purchase.  The financial  impact of these issues for the Fund is still being
determined.  There can be no assurance  that  potential Year 2000 problems would
not have a material adverse effect on the Fund.

HOW IS THE FUND ORGANIZED?

The Fund is a  diversified  open-end,  management  investment  company  that was
established  under the laws of the State of Maryland on October  30,  1973.  The
Fund was  reorganized  as a  Massachusetts  business trust on June 29, 1982, and
then  re-established  as a Maryland  corporation under Articles of Incorporation
dated August 19, 1992.

The Board of Directors  (the Board) has  established  one class of shares of the
Fund (Shares).

SECURITIES IN WHICH THE FUND INVESTS

In  pursuing  its  investment  strategy,  the Fund may  invest in the  following
securities for any purpose that is consistent with its investment objective.

SECURITIES DESCRIPTIONS AND TECHNIQUES

FIXED INCOME SECURITIES pay interest,  dividends or distributions at a specified
rate.  The  rate  may  be a  fixed  percentage  of  the  principal  or  adjusted
periodically.  In addition, the issuer of a fixed income security must repay the
principal amount of the security, normally within a specified time. Fixed income
securities  provide more regular  income than equity  securities.  However,  the
returns on fixed income securities are limited and normally do not increase with
the issuer's  earnings.  This limits the potential  appreciation of fixed income
securities as compared to equity securities.

A  security's  YIELD  measures  the  annual  income  earned on a  security  as a
percentage of its price. A security's yield will increase or decrease  depending
upon whether it costs less (a discount) or more (a premium)  than the  principal
amount. If the issuer may redeem the security before its scheduled maturity, the
price and yield on a discount  or  premium  security  may change  based upon the
probability  of  an  early  redemption.  Securities  with  higher  credit  risks
generally have higher yields.

The following  describes the types of fixed income  securities in which the Fund
invests.

    TREASURY  SECURITIES are direct obligations of the federal government of the
United States.  Treasury  securities are generally regarded as having the lowest
credit risk.

    AGENCY  SECURITIES  are issued or  guaranteed  by a federal  agency or other
government  sponsored entity acting under federal  authority (a GSE). The United
States  supports some GSEs with its full,  faith and credit.  Other GSEs receive
support through federal subsidies,  loans or other benefits.  A few GSEs have no
explicit financial  support,  but are regarded as having implied support because
the  federal  government  sponsors  their  activities.   Agency  securities  are
generally  regarded  as having  low  credit  risks,  but not as low as  treasury
securities.

    The Fund treats  mortgage  backed  securities  guaranteed  by GSEs as agency
securities.  Although a GSE guarantee protects against credit risks, it does not
reduce the MARKET AND PREPAYMENT RISKS of these mortgage backed securities.

    CORPORATE DEBT SECURITIES are fixed income  securities issued by businesses.
Notes,  bonds,  debentures and commercial  paper are the most prevalent types of
corporate debt securities. The Fund may also purchase interests in bank loans to
companies.  The CREDIT  RISKS of  corporate  debt  securities  vary widely among
issuers.

    MUNICIPAL  SECURITIES  are  issued by  states,  counties,  cities  and other
political  subdivisions and authorities.  Although many municipal securities are
exempt  from  federal  income  tax,  the Fund may  invest in  taxable  municipal
securities.

    MORTGAGE BACKED SECURITIES  represent  interests in pools of mortgages.  The
mortgages that comprise a pool normally have similar interest rates,  maturities
and  other  terms.  Mortgages  may have  fixed  or  adjustable  interest  rates.
Interests in pools of adjustable rate mortgages are know as ARMs.

    Mortgage backed  securities come in a variety of forms.  Many have extremely
complicated   terms.  The  simplest  form  of  mortgage  backed  securities  are
pass-through  certificates.  An  issuer  of  pass-through  certificates  gathers
monthly payments from an underlying pool of mortgages.  Then, the issuer deducts
its  fees  and  expenses  and  passes  the  balance  of the  payments  onto  the
certificate holders once a month. Holders of pass-through certificates receive a
pro rata share of all payments and pre- payments from the underlying  mortgages.
As a result,  the  holders  assume all the  PREPAYMENT  RISKS of the  underlying
mortgages.

    ASSET BACKED  SECURITIES  are payable from pools of  obligations  other than
mortgages.  Most asset backed  securities  involve  consumer or commercial debts
with maturities of less than ten years. However, almost any type of fixed income
assets (including other fixed income  securities) may be used to create an asset
backed security.  Asset backed securities may take the form of commercial paper,
notes,  or pass through  certificates.  Asset backed  securities have PREPAYMENT
RISKS.

    ZERO COUPON SECURITIES do not pay interest or principal until final maturity
unlike debt securities that provide periodic  payments of interest  (referred to
as a coupon payment).  Investors buy zero coupon securities at a price below the
amount payable at maturity.  The  difference  between the purchase price and the
amount  paid at  maturity  represents  interest  on the  zero  coupon  security.
Investors  must wait until  maturity to receive  interest and  principal,  which
increases the MARKET AND CREDIT RISKS of a zero coupon security.

    There  are many  forms of zero  coupon  securities.  Some  are  issued  at a
discount and are referred to as zero coupon or capital appreciation bonds. There
are many forms of zero coupon securities.  Some are issued at a discount and are
referred to as zero  coupon or capital  appreciation  bonds.  Others are created
from interest bearing bonds by separating the right to receive the bond's coupon
payments  from the right to receive  the bond's  principal  due at  maturity,  a
process known as coupon stripping.  Treasury STRIPs are the most common forms of
stripped zero coupon  securities.  In addition,  some securities give the issuer
the option to deliver additional  securities in place of cash interest payments,
thereby  increasing  the amount  payable at  maturity.  These are referred to as
pay-in-kind or PIK securities.

    COMMERCIAL PAPER is an issuer's obligation with a maturity of less than nine
months. Companies typically issue commercial paper to Fund current expenditures.
Most issuers  constantly reissue their commercial paper and use the proceeds (or
bank loans) to repay  maturing  paper.  If the issuer cannot  continue to obtain
liquidity in this fashion,  its commercial paper may default. The short maturity
of commercial paper reduces both the market and credit risk as compared to other
debt securities of the same issuer.

    BANK INSTRUMENTS are unsecured interest bearing deposits with banks. Bank
instruments include bank accounts, time deposits,  certificates of deposit and
banker's acceptances. Yankee instruments are denominated in U.S. dollars and
issued by U.S.        branches of foreign banks. Eurodollar instruments
denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by non-U.S. branches of U.S. or
foreign banks.

    DEMAND  INSTRUMENTS are corporate debt securities that the issuer must repay
upon demand. Other demand instruments require a third party, such as a dealer or
bank, to repurchase the security for its face value upon demand. The Fund treats
demand instruments as short-term  securities,  even though their stated maturity
may extend beyond one year.

    CREDIT  ENHANCEMENT  consists of an arrangement in which a company agrees to
pay amounts due on a fixed income security if the issuer defaults. In some cases
the company  providing  credit  enhancement  makes all payments  directly to the
security  holders and  receives  reimbursement  from the issuer.  Normally,  the
credit enhancer has greater  financial  resources and liquidity than the issuer.
For this reason, the Adviser usually evaluates the credit risk of a fixed income
security based solely upon its credit enhancement.

    Common types of credit enhancement  include  guarantees,  letters of credit,
bond insurance and surety bonds.  Credit enhancement also includes  arrangements
where  securities  or other  liquid  assets  secure  payment  of a fixed  income
security. If a default occurs, these assets may be sold and the proceeds paid to
security's  holders.  Either form of credit enhancement  reduces credit risks by
providing another source of payment for a fixed income security.

FOREIGN  SECURITIES  are  securities of issuers based outside the United States.
The Fund considers an issuer to be based outside the United States if:

o       it is organized under the laws of, or has a principal office located
in, another country;

o    the principal trading market for its securities is in another country; or

o it (or its subsidiaries)  derived in its most current fiscal year at least 50%
of its  total  assets,  capitalization,  gross  revenue  or  profit  from  goods
produced, services performed, or sales made in another country.

Foreign securities are primarily  denominated in foreign currencies.  Along with
the risks normally associated with domestic securities of the same type, foreign
securities are subject to CURRENCY RISKS AND RISKS OF FOREIGN investing.


<PAGE>


SPECIAL TRANSACTIONS

    REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS  are  transactions  in which the Fund buys a security
from a dealer or bank and agrees to sell the security back at a mutually  agreed
upon time and price. The repurchase price exceeds the sale price, reflecting the
Fund's return on the transaction.  This return is unrelated to the interest rate
on the underlying security.  The Fund will enter into repurchase agreements only
with  banks and other  recognized  financial  institutions,  such as  securities
dealers, deemed creditworthy by the Adviser.

    The Fund's custodian or subcustodian  will take possession of the securities
subject to repurchase  agreements.  The Adviser or subcustodian will monitor the
value of the  underlying  security  each  day to  ensure  that the  value of the
security always equals or exceeds the repurchase price.

    Repurchase agreements are subject to CREDIT RISKS.

    REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS are repurchase agreements in which the Fund is
the seller (rather than the buyer) of the  securities,  and agrees to repurchase
them at an agreed upon time and price.  A reverse  repurchase  agreement  may be
viewed as a type of borrowing by the Fund.  Reverse  repurchase  agreements  are
subject to CREDIT  RISKS.  In addition,  reverse  repurchase  agreements  create
LEVERAGE RISKS because the Fund must  repurchase  the  underlying  security at a
higher  price,  regardless  of the market  value of the  security at the time of
repurchase.

    DELAYED  DELIVERY  TRANSACTIONS,  including  when issued  transactions,  are
arrangements in which the Fund buys securities for a set price, with payment and
delivery  of the  securities  scheduled  for a future  time.  During  the period
between  purchase and  settlement,  no payment is made by the Fund to the issuer
and no interest  accrues to the Fund. The Fund records the  transaction  when it
agrees to buy the securities  and reflects their value in determining  the price
of its shares. Settlement dates may be a month or more after entering into these
transactions  so that the market values of the  securities  bought may vary from
the purchase  prices.  Therefore,  delayed delivery  transactions  create MARKET
RISKS for the Fund.  Delayed delivery  transactions also involve CREDIT RISKS in
the event of a counterparty default.

        ASSET  COVERAGE.  In order to secure its  obligations in connection with
derivatives  contracts  or special  transactions,  the Fund will  either own the
underlying  assets,  enter into an offsetting  transaction  or set aside readily
marketable   securities   with  a  value  that  equals  or  exceeds  the  Fund's
obligations.  Unless the Fund has other readily  marketable assets to set aside,
it  cannot  trade  assets  used to  secure  such  obligations  entering  into an
offsetting  derivative contract or terminating a special  transaction.  This may
cause the Fund to miss favorable  trading  opportunities or to realize losses on
derivative contracts or special transactions.

INVESTMENT RATINGS

A nationally  recognized  statistical ratings  organization's two highest rating
categories are determined without regard for sub-categories and gradations.  For
example,  securities  rated  A-1+,  A-1,  or A-2 by  Standard & Poor's  ("S&P"),
Prime-1, or Prime-2 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or F-1 (+ or
- -) or F-2 (+ or -) by Fitch IBCA, Inc. ("Fitch") are all considered rated in one
of the two  highest  short-term  rating  categories.  The Fund  will  limit  its
investments in securities rated in the second highest short-term rating category
E.G., A-2 by S&P, Prime-2 by Moody's, or F-2 (+ or -) by Fitch, to not more than
5% of its total assets,  with not more than 1% invested in the securities of any
one issuer. The Fund will follow applicable regulations in determining whether a
security  rated  by more  than one  nationally  recognized  statistical  ratings
organization can be treated as being in one of the two highest short-term rating
categories;   currently,  such  securities  must  be  rated  by  two  nationally
recognized  statistical ratings organizations in one of their two highest rating
categories. See "Regulatory Compliance."

INVESTMENT RISKS

MARKET RISK

Prices of fixed  income  securities  rise and fall in response to interest  rate
changes for similar securities.  Generally,  when interest rates rise, prices of
fixed income securities fall.

Interest  rate  changes  have a  greater  effect  on the  price of fixed  income
securities with longer maturities.  Money market funds try to minimize this risk
by purchasing short-term securities.


<PAGE>


CREDIT RISK

Credit  risk is the  possibility  that an issuer  will  default  (fails to repay
interest  and  principal  when due).  If an issuer  defaults,  the Fund may lose
money. Money market funds try to minimize this risk by purchasing higher quality
securities.

Many fixed income  securities  receive  credit  ratings from  companies  such as
Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investor Services. Fixed income securities receive
different  credit ratings  depending on the rating  company's  assessment of the
likelihood of default by the issuer.  The lower the credit  rating,  the greater
the credit risk.

PREPAYMENT RISKS

Generally,  homeowners  have the option to prepay  their  mortgages  at any time
without penalty.  Homeowners  frequently  refinance high interest rate mortgages
when mortgage  rates fall.  This results in the  prepayment  of mortgage  backed
securities  with  higher  interest   rates.   Conversely,   prepayments  due  to
refinancings  decrease when mortgage  rates  increase.  This extends the life of
mortgage backed securities with lower interest rates. As a result,  increases in
prepayments of high interest rate mortgage  backed  securities,  or decreases in
prepayments of lower interest rate mortgage backed securities,  may reduce their
yield  and  price.  This  relationship   between  interest  rates  and  mortgage
prepayments  makes the price of mortgage  backed  securities  more volatile than
most other types of fixed income securities with comparable credit risks.

CURRENCY RISKS

Exchange rates for currencies  fluctuate daily. The combination of currency risk
and  market  risks  tends to make  securities  traded in  foreign  markets  more
volatile than securities traded exclusively in the U.S.

The adviser  attempts to manage  currency  risk by limiting  the amount the Fund
invests  in  securities   denominated   in  a  particular   currency.   However,
diversification  will not  protect  the Fund  against a general  increase in the
value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies.

RISKS OF FOREIGN INVESTING

Foreign  securities pose additional  risks because foreign economic or political
conditions  may be less  favorable  that  those of the  United  States.  Foreign
financial  markets  may also have  fewer  investor  protections.  Securities  in
foreign markets may also be subject to taxation policies that reduce returns for
U.S. investors.

Due to these risk  factors,  foreign  securities  may be more  volatile and less
liquid than similar securities traded in the U.S.

LEVERAGE RISKS

Leverage risk is created when an investment  exposes the Fund to a level of risk
that  exceeds the amount  invested.  Changes in the value of such an  investment
magnify the Fund's risk of loss and potential for gain.

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

SELLING SHORT AND BUYING ON MARGIN

The Fund  will not sell any  securities  short or  purchase  any  securities  on
margin.

BORROWING MONEY

The Fund will not borrow money except as a temporary  measure for  extraordinary
purposes  and then only in  amounts  not in excess of 5% of the value of its net
assets. In addition,  the Fund may enter into reverse repurchase  agreements and
otherwise borrow up to one-third of the value of its total assets, including the
amount  borrowed,  in  order to meet  redemption  requests  without  immediately
selling any portfolio instruments.

This latter  practice is not for  investment  leverage but solely to  facilitate
management  of the  portfolio by enabling the Fund to meet  redemption  requests
when  the  liquidation  of  portfolio   instruments  would  be  inconvenient  or
disadvantageous.  Interest  paid on  borrowed  funds will not be  available  for
investment.  The Fund may not  purchase  any  portfolio  instruments  while  any
borrowings (exclusive of reverse repurchase agreements) are outstanding.

PLEDGING ASSETS

The Fund  will not  mortgage,  pledge,  or  hypothecate  any  assets  except  as
necessary  to secure  permitted  borrowings.  In those cases,  it may  mortgage,
pledge or  hypothecate  assets having a market value not exceeding the lesser of
the dollar  amounts  borrowed or 10% of the value of total assets at the time of
the borrowing.

LENDING CASH OR SECURITIES

The Fund will not lend any of its assets,  except  that it may  purchase or hold
money market instruments permitted by its investment objective and policies.

INVESTING IN COMMODITIES AND REAL ESTATE

The Fund will not invest in commodities,  commodity  contracts,  or real estate,
except that it may purchase  money market  instruments  issued by companies that
invest in real estate or interests in real estate.

UNDERWRITING

The Fundwill not act as underwriter of securities issued by others, except as it
may  be  deemed  to be an  underwriter  under  the  Securities  Act of  1933  in
connection  with the sale of restricted  securities  which the Fund may purchase
pursuant to its investment objective, policies, and limitations.

CONCENTRATION OF INVESTMENTS

The Fund will not  purchase  money  market  instruments  if, as a result of such
purchase,  more than 25% of the value of its total  assets  would be invested in
any one  industry.  However,  investing  in bank  instruments  (such as time and
demand deposits and certificates of deposit),  U.S. government  obligations,  or
instruments  secured  by these  money  market  instruments,  such as  repurchase
agreements, shall not be considered investments in any one industry.

INVESTING IN SECURITIES OF OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES

The Fund will not invest in securities issued by any other investment company.

INVESTING FOR CONTROL

The  Fund  will not  invest  in  securities  of a  company  for the  purpose  of
exercising control or management.

The above  limitations  cannot be changed  unless  authorized  by the "vote of a
majority of its  outstanding  voting  securities,"  as defined by the Investment
Company  Act. The  following  limitation,  however,  may be changed by the Board
without shareholder approval.  Shareholders will be notified before any material
change in these limitations becomes effective.

INVESTING IN ILLIQUID SECURITIES

The Fund  will  not  invest  more  than 10% of the  value of its net  assets  in
illiquid securities.

For  purposes  of the above  limitations,  the Fund  considers  certificates  of
deposit and demand and time deposits  issued by a U.S. branch of a domestic bank
or savings association having capital,  surplus, and undivided profits in excess
of  $100,000,000  at the time of  investment  to be "cash  items."  Except  with
respect to borrowing money, if a percentage limitation is adhered to at the time
of  investment,  a later  increase or decrease in percentage  resulting from any
change in value or net assets will not result in a violation of such limitation.

The Fund did not borrow money or pledge  securities in excess of 5% of the value
of its net assets during the last fiscal year and has no present intent to do so
during the coming fiscal year.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

The  Fund  may  follow  non-fundamental   operational  policies  that  are  more
restrictive  than its fundamental  investment  limitations,  as set forth in the
prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information, in order to comply with
applicable  laws and  regulations,  including the provisions of and  regulations
under the Investment Fund Act of 1940. In particular,  the Fund will comply with
the various  requirements  of Rule 2a-7,  which  regulates  money market  mutual
funds.  The Fund will also determine the effective  maturity of its investments,
as well as its ability to consider a security as having  received the  requisite
short-term ratings by nationally  recognized  services,  according to Rule 2a-7.
The Fund may change these  operational  policies to reflect  changes in the laws
and regulations without the approval of its shareholders.

DETERMINING MARKET VALUE OF SECURITIES

The  Trustees  have decided  that the best method for  determining  the value of
portfolio   instruments  is  amortized  cost.   Under  this  method,   portfolio
instruments are valued at the acquisition  cost as adjusted for  amortization of
premium  or  accumulation  of  discount  rather  than at current  market  value.
Accordingly,  neither  the  amount of daily  income  nor the net asset  value is
affected by any unrealized  appreciation or  depreciation  of the portfolio.  In
periods of declining  interest rates, the indicated daily yield on shares of the
Fund computed by dividing the annualized daily income on the Fund's portfolio by
the net asset  value  computed  as above  may tend to be  higher  than a similar
computation  made by using a method of  valuation  based upon market  prices and
estimates. In periods of rising interest rates, the opposite may be true.

The Fund's use of the  amortized  cost method of valuing  portfolio  instruments
depends on its  compliance  with  certain  conditions  in Rule 2a-7 (the "Rule")
promulgated  by the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  under the  Investment
Company Act of 1940.  Under the Rule,  the Trustees  must  establish  procedures
reasonably  designed to stabilize the net asset value per share, as computed for
purposes of distribution and redemption, at $1.00 per share, taking into account
current market  conditions and the Fund's investment  objective.  The procedures
include  monitoring the relationship  between the amortized cost value per share
and the net asset value per share  based upon  available  indications  of market
value.  The Trustees will decide what, if any, steps should be taken if there is
a difference  of more than 0.5 of 1% between the two values.  The Trustees  will
take  any  steps  they  consider  appropriate  (such  as  redemption  in kind or
shortening the average portfolio  maturity) to minimize any material dilution or
other  unfair  results  arising  from  differences  between  the two  methods of
determining net asset value.

WHAT DO SHARES COST?

The Fund attempts to stabilize the net asset value of Shares at $1.00 by valuing
its portfolio securities using the amortized cost method.

REDUCING OR ELIMINATING THE CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE These reductions or
elimination's are offered because no sales commissions have been advanced to the
selling investment  professional,  the shareholder has already paid a Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC),  or nominal sales efforts are associated  with the
original purchase of Shares.

Upon  notification to the Distributor or the Fund's transfer agent, no CDSC will
be imposed on redemption's:

o  following  the death or  post-purchase  disability,  as  defined  in  Section
   72(m)(7)  of the  Internal  Revenue  Code  of  1986,  of the  last  surviving
   shareholder;

o  representing  minimum required  distributions  from an Individual  Retirement
   Account or other  retirement plan in Federated Funds to a shareholder who has
   attained the age of 70-1/2; and

HOW IS THE FUND SOLD?

Under the  Distributor's  Contract  with the Fund,  the  Distributor  (Federated
Securities  Corp.),  located at Federated  Investors Tower, 1001 Liberty Avenue,
Pittsburgh, PA 15222-3779, offers Shares on a continuous, best-efforts basis.

SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

The Fund  may pay  Federated  Shareholder  Services  Company,  a  subsidiary  of
Federated Investors,  Inc.  (Federated),  for providing shareholder services and
maintaining  shareholder  accounts.  Federated  Shareholder Services Company may
select  others to perform  these  services for their  customers and may pay them
fees.

SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENTS

Investment  professionals  may be paid fees out of the assets of the Distributor
and/or Federated  Shareholder Services Company (but not out of Fund assets). The
Distributor and/or Federated  Shareholder  Services Company may be reimbursed by
the Adviser or its affiliates.

Investment professionals receive such fees for providing distribution-related or
shareholder  services  such as sponsoring  sales,  providing  sales  literature,
conducting  training  seminars  for  employees,  and  engineering  sales-related
computer software programs and systems.  Also,  investment  professionals may be
paid cash or promotional  incentives,  such as reimbursement of certain expenses
relating to attendance at informational meetings about the Fund or other special
events  at  recreational-type  facilities,  or items of  material  value.  These
payments  will be based upon the amount of Shares  the  investment  professional
sells or may sell and/or upon the type and nature of sales or marketing  support
furnished by the investment professional.

SUBACCOUNTING SERVICES

Certain   investment   professionals  may  wish  to  use  the  transfer  agent's
subaccounting system to minimize their internal recordkeeping requirements.  The
transfer  agent may  charge a fee based on the level of  subaccounting  services
rendered.  Investment  professionals  holding  Shares  in a  fiduciary,  agency,
custodial,  or similar capacity may charge or pass through subaccounting fees as
part of or in addition to normal  trust or agency  account  fees.  They may also
charge fees for other  services  that may be related to the ownership of Shares.
This information should,  therefore, be read together with any agreement between
the customer and the investment  professional about the services  provided,  the
fees charged for those services, and any restrictions and limitations imposed.

REDEMPTION IN KIND

Although  the Fund  intends to pay Share  redemptions  in cash,  it reserves the
right, as described  below, to pay the redemption price in whole or in part by a
distribution of the Fund's portfolio securities.

Because the Fund has  elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the  Investment
Company Act of 1940,  the Fund is obligated to pay Share  redemptions to any one
shareholder  in cash only up to the lesser of  $250,000  or 1% of the net assets
represented by such Share class during any 90-day period.

Any Share  redemption  payment  greater  than this  amount  will also be in cash
unless the Fund's Board  determines  that payment  should be in kind.  In such a
case,  the Fund will pay all or a portion of the remainder of the  redemption in
portfolio securities, valued in the same way as the Fund determines its NAV. The
portfolio  securities  will be selected in a manner that the Fund's  Board deems
fair and equitable and, to the extent available, such securities will be readily
marketable.

Redemption in kind is not as liquid as a cash redemption.  If redemption is made
in kind, shareholders receiving the portfolio securities and selling them before
their maturity  could receive less than the  redemption  value of the securities
and could incur certain transaction costs.

ACCOUNT AND SHARE INFORMATION

VOTING RIGHTS

Each share of the Fund gives the shareholder one vote in Director  elections and
other matters  submitted to shareholders for vote. All Shares of the Corporation
have equal voting rights.

Directors may be removed by the Board or by shareholders at a special meeting. A
special  meeting of  shareholders  will be called by the Board upon the  written
request of shareholders  who own at least 10% of the  Corporation's  outstanding
shares of all series entitled to vote.

 TAX INFORMATION

FEDERAL INCOME TAX

The Fund intends to meet  requirements  of Subchapter M of the Internal  Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies. If these requirements are not
met, it will not receive  special tax treatment  and will pay no federal  income
tax.

INVESTMENT ADVISER

The Adviser conducts investment research and makes investment  decisions for the
Fund.

The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Federated.

The  Adviser  shall  not be  liable to the  Corporation,  the Fund,  or any Fund
shareholder  for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,  holding,  or
sale of any  security  or for  anything  done or omitted by it,  except  acts or
omissions  involving  willful  misfeasance,  bad  faith,  gross  negligence,  or
reckless  disregard  of the  duties  imposed  upon it by its  contract  with the
Corporation.

OTHER RELATED SERVICES

Affiliates of the Adviser may,  from time to time,  provide  certain  electronic
equipment and software to  institutional  customers in order to  facilitate  the
purchase of Fund Shares offered by the Distributor.

BROKERAGE TRANSACTIONS

When selecting  brokers and dealers to handle the purchase and sale of portfolio
instruments,  the Adviser looks for prompt execution of the order at a favorable
price.  The  Adviser  will  generally  use those who are  recognized  dealers in
specific portfolio instruments,  except when a better price and execution of the
order can be obtained  elsewhere.  The  Adviser  may select  brokers and dealers
based on whether they also offer  research  services (as  described  below).  In
selecting  among  firms  believed to meet these  criteria,  the Adviser may give
consideration  to those firms which have sold or are selling  Shares of the Fund
and other funds  distributed by the Distributor and its affiliates.  The Adviser
makes  decisions  on  portfolio  transactions  and  selects  brokers and dealers
subject to review by the Fund's Board.

RESEARCH SERVICES

Research  services  may include  advice as to the  advisability  of investing in
securities;  security analysis and reports;  economic studies; industry studies;
receipt of quotations for portfolio evaluations;  and similar services. Research
services  may be used by the Adviser or by  affiliates  of Federated in advising
other  accounts.  To the extent  that  receipt  of these  services  may  replace
services for which the Adviser or its affiliates  might  otherwise have paid, it
would tend to reduce their  expenses.  The Adviser and its  affiliates  exercise
reasonable  business judgment in selecting those brokers who offer brokerage and
research  services to execute  securities  transactions.  They determine in good
faith that commissions charged by such persons are reasonable in relationship to
the value of the brokerage and research services provided.

For the fiscal  year ended,  December  31,  1998,  the Fund's  adviser  directed
brokerage  transactions  to  certain  brokers  due  to  research  services  they
provided. The total amount of these transactions was $_______ for which the Fund
paid $_______ in brokerage commissions.

On December 31, 1998, the Fund owned securities of the following regular
broker/dealers: __________________________.

Investment  decisions  for the Fund are made  independently  from those of other
accounts managed by the Adviser. When the Fund and one or more of those accounts
invests  in,  or  disposes  of,  the same  security,  available  investments  or
opportunities for sales will be allocated among the Fund and the account(s) in a
manner  believed  by the Adviser to be  equitable.  While the  coordination  and
ability to  participate  in volume  transactions  may  benefit  the Fund,  it is
possible that this procedure could  adversely  impact the price paid or received
and/or the position obtained or disposed of by the Fund.

ADMINISTRATOR

Federated Services Company, a subsidiary of Federated,  provides  administrative
personnel  and  services   (including  certain  legal  and  financial  reporting
services)  necessary to operate the Fund.  Federated  Services  Company provides
these at the following annual rate of the average  aggregate daily net assets of
all Federated Funds as specified below:

MAXIMUM  ADMINISTRATIVE  AVERAGE AGGREGATE DAILY NET ASSETS OF THE FEDERATED FEE
FUNDS 0.150 of 1% on the first $250 million 0.125 of 1% on the next $250 million

million The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least
$125,000  per  portfolio  and  $30,000  per each  additional  class  of  Shares.
Federated  Services  Company may voluntarily  waive a portion of its fee and may
reimburse the Fund for expenses.

Federated  Services Company also provides certain  accounting and  recordkeeping
services  with respect to the Fund's  portfolio  investments  for a fee based on
Fund assets plus out-of-pocket expenses.

CUSTODIAN

State Street Bank and Trust Company, Boston, Massachusetts, is custodian for the
securities and cash of the Fund. Foreign  instruments  purchased by the Fund are
held by foreign banks  participating  in a network  coordinated  by State Street
Bank.

TRANSFER AGENT AND DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT

Federated  Services Company,  through its registered  transfer agent subsidiary,
Federated  Shareholder  Services  Company,  maintains all necessary  shareholder
records.  The Fund pays the transfer  agent a fee based on the size,  type,  and
number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders.

INSTRUCTION: INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE FOR ALL FUNDS THAT HAVE CAPPED
EXPENSES.

If the  Fund's  expenses  are  capped at a  particular  level,  the cap does not
include  reimbursement to the Fund of any expenses  incurred by shareholders who
use the transfer agent's subaccounting facilities.

HOW DOES THE FUND MEASURE PERFORMANCE?

The Fund may advertise  Share  performance  by using the Securities and Exchange
Commission's (SEC) standard method for calculating performance applicable to all
mutual funds. The SEC also permits this standard  performance  information to be
accompanied by non-standard performance information.

Unless otherwise  stated,  any quoted Share  performance  reflects the effect of
non-recurring charges, such as maximum sales charges, which, if excluded,  would
increase the total return and yield. The performance of Shares depends upon such
variables as: portfolio quality;  average portfolio maturity;  type and value of
portfolio  securities;  changes in interest rates; changes or differences in the
Fund's or any class of Shares' expenses; and various other factors.

Share  performance  fluctuates  on a daily basis  largely  because net  earnings
fluctuate  daily.  Both net earnings and offering price per Share are factors in
the computation of yield and total return.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS AND YIELD

Total returns given for the one-,  five- and ten-year periods ended DECEMBER 31,

TOTAL RETURN

Total return  represents the change  (expressed as a percentage) in the value of
Shares over a specific period of time, and includes the investment of income and
capital gains distributions.

The average  annual  total return for Shares is the average  compounded  rate of
return for a given period that would equate a $1,000  initial  investment to the
ending  redeemable  value of that  investment.  The ending  redeemable  value is
computed by  multiplying  the number of Shares owned at the end of the period by
the NAV per Share at the end of the  period.  The number of Shares  owned at the
end of the period is based on the number of Shares purchased at the beginning of
the period with $1,000,  less any  applicable  sales  charge,  adjusted over the
period  by any  additional  Shares,  assuming  the  annual  reinvestment  of all
dividends and distributions.

YIELD

The  yield of  Shares  is based  upon the  seven  days  ending on the day of the
calculation,  called the "base period." This yield is calculated by: determining
the net  change in the value of a  hypothetical  account  with a balance  of one
Share at the beginning of the base period, with the net change excluding capital
changes  but  including  the  value  of any  additional  Shares  purchased  with
dividends  earned from the original one Share and all dividends  declared on the
original and any  purchased  Shares;  dividing  the net change in the  account's
value by the  value of the  account  at the  beginning  of the  base  period  to
determine  the base period  return;  and  multiplying  the base period return by
365/7.  The  effective  yield is  calculated  by  compounding  the  unannualized
base-period  return by: adding 1 to the base-period  return,  raising the sum to
the 365/7th power; and subtracting 1 from the result.

To the  extent  investment  professionals  and  broker/dealers  charge  fees  in
connection with services  provided in conjunction  with an investment in Shares,
the Share performance is lower for shareholders paying those fees.

    NOW THEREFORE,  in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein
contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

SECTION ONE: FUND ACCOUNTING.

ARTICLE 1.  APPOINTMENT. 

    The  Investment  Company  hereby  appoints  the  Company to provide  certain
pricing and accounting services to the Funds, and/or the Classes, for the period
and on the  terms  set  forth  in  this  Agreement.  The  Company  accepts  such
appointment  and agrees to furnish the  services  herein set forth in return for
the compensation as provided in Article 3 of this Section.

ARTICLE 2.  THE COMPANY'S DUTIES.

    Subject to the supervision and control of the Investment  Company's Board of
Trustees or Directors ("Board"),  the Company will assist the Investment Company
with regard to fund  accounting  for the Investment  Company,  and/or the Funds,
and/or the  Classes,  and in  connection  therewith  undertakes  to perform  the
following specific services;

    A.   Value the assets of the Funds using: primarily, market quotations,
         including the use of matrix pricing, supplied by the independent
         pricing services selected by the Company in consultation with the
         adviser, or sources selected by the adviser, and reviewed by the
         board; secondarily, if a designated pricing service does not
         provide a price for a security which the Company believes should
         be available by market quotation, the Company may obtain a price
         by calling brokers designated by the investment adviser of the
         fund holding the security, or if the adviser does not supply the
         names of such brokers, the Company will attempt on its own to find
         brokers to price those securities; thirdly, for securities for
         which no market price is available, the Pricing Committee of the
         Board will determine a fair value in good faith. Consistent with
         Rule 2a-4 of the 40 Act, estimates may be used where necessary or
         appropriate. The Company's obligations with regard to the prices
         received from outside pricing services and designated brokers or
         other outside sources, is to exercise reasonable care in the
         supervision of the pricing agent. The Company is not the guarantor
         of the securities prices received from such agents and the Company
         is not liable to the Fund for potential errors in valuing a Fund's
         assets or calculating the net asset value per share of such Fund
         or Class when the calculations are based upon such prices. All of
         the above sources of prices used as described are deemed by the
         Company to be authorized sources of security prices. The Company
         provides daily to the adviser the securities prices used in
         calculating the net asset value of the fund, for its use in
         preparing exception reports for those prices on which the adviser
         has comment. Further, upon receipt of the exception reports
         generated by the adviser, the Company diligently pursues
         communication regarding exception reports with the designated
         pricing agents;

    B.   Determine the net asset value per share of each Fund and/or  Class,  at
         the time and in the manner  from time to time  determined  by the Board
         and  as set  forth  in  the  Prospectus  and  Statement  of  Additional
         Information ("Prospectus") of each Fund;

    C.   Calculate the net income of each of the Funds, if any;

    D.   Calculate  realized  capital  gains  or  losses  of each  of the  Funds
         resulting from sale or disposition of assets, if any;

    E.   Maintain the general  ledger and other  accounts,  books and  financial
         records of the  Investment  Company,  including  for each Fund,  and/or
         Class,  as required  under  Section 31(a) of the 1940 Act and the Rules
         thereunder in connection with the services provided by the Company;

    F.   Preserve  for the periods  prescribed  by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act
         the  records  to be  maintained  by Rule  31a-1  under  the 1940 Act in
         connection  with the  services  provided  by the  Company.  The Company
         further  agrees that all such records it maintains  for the  Investment
         Company are the property of the  Investment  Company and further agrees
         to surrender  promptly to the Investment  Company such records upon the
         Investment Company's request;

    G.   At the request of the Investment  Company,  prepare  various reports or
         other  financial   documents  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
         accounting   principles  as  required  by  federal,   state  and  other
         applicable laws and regulations; and

    H.   Such other  similar  services  as may be  reasonably  requested  by the
         Investment Company.

    The  foregoing,  along with any  additional  services that the Company shall
agree in writing to perform for the  Investment  Company under this Section One,
shall hereafter be referred to as "Fund Accounting Services."

ARTICLE 3.  COMPENSATION AND ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES.

    A.   The Funds will compensate the Company for Fund  Accounting  Services in
         accordance  with the fees  agreed  upon from time to time  between  the
         parties hereto. Such fees do not include out-of-pocket disbursements of

         Out-of-pocket disbursements shall include, but shall not be limited to,
         the items agreed upon between the parties from time to time.

         shall be accrued  by the Fund and shall be paid to the  Company no less
         frequently  than  monthly,  and shall be paid daily upon request of the
         Company.  The Company  will  maintain  detailed  information  about the
         compensation and out-of-pocket expenses by Fund and Class.

    D.   Any schedule of  compensation  agreed to hereunder,  as may be adjusted
         from  time to time,  shall be dated  and  signed  by a duly  authorized
         officer  of  the  Investment  Company  and/or  the  Funds  and  a  duly
         authorized officer of the Company.

    E.   The fee for the period from the effective date of this Agreement with
         respect to a Fund or a Class to the end of the initial month shall be
         prorated according to the proportion that such period bears to the
         full month period. Upon any termination of this Agreement before the
         end of any month, the fee for such period shall be prorated according
         to the proportion which such period bears to the full month period.
         For purposes of determining fees payable to the Company, the value of
         the Fund's net assets shall be computed at the time and in the manner
         specified in the Fund's Prospectus.

    F.   The Company, in its sole discretion, may from time to time
         subcontract to, employ or associate with itself such person or
         persons as the Company may believe to be particularly suited to
         assist it in performing Fund Accounting Services. Such person or
         persons may be affiliates of the Company, third-party service
         providers, or they may be officers and employees who are employed
         by both the Company and the Investment Company; provided, however,
         that the Company shall be as fully responsible to each Fund for
         the acts and omissions of any such subcontractor as it is for its
         own acts and omissions. The compensation of such person or persons
         shall be paid by the Company and no obligation shall be incurred
         on behalf of the Investment Company, the Funds, or the Classes in
         such respect.

agrees to pay and the Company hereby agrees to accept as full  compensation  for
its  services  rendered  hereunder an  administrative  fee at an annual rate per
Fund, as specified below.

    The compensation  and out of pocket expenses  attributable to the Fund shall
be accrued by the Fund and paid to the Company no less  frequently than monthly,
and shall be paid daily upon request of the Company.  The Company will  maintain
detailed  information  about the  compensation and out of pocket expenses by the
Fund.

               MAX. ADMIN.               AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS
                   FEE                         OF THE FUNDS

                  .150%                   on the first $250 million
                  .125%                   on the next $250 million
                  .100%                   on the next $250 million
                  .075%                   on assets in excess of
$750 million

 (Average Daily Net Asset break-points are on a complex-wide basis)

    However,  in no event shall the  administrative fee received during any year
of the  Agreement be less than,  or be paid at a rate less than would  aggregate
$125,000 per Fund and $30,000 per Class. The minimum fee set forth above in this
Article 9 may increase  annually upon each March 1 anniversary of this Agreement
over the  minimum  fee  during  the prior 12 months,  as  calculated  under this
agreement,  in an amount equal to the increase in  Pennsylvania  Consumer  Price
Index (not to exceed 6% annually) as last  reported by the U.S.  Bureau of Labor
Statistics for the twelve months immediately preceding such anniversary.

ARTICLE 10.  RESPONSIBILITY OF ADMINISTRATOR. 

    A.   The Company shall not be liable for any error of judgment
         or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the
         Investment Company in connection with the matters to which
         this Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from
         willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on its
         part in the performance of its duties or from reckless
         disregard by it of its obligations and duties under this
         Agreement.  The Company shall be entitled to rely on and
         may act upon advice of counsel (who may be counsel for the
         Investment Company) on all matters, and shall be without
         liability for any action reasonably taken or omitted
         pursuant to such advice.  Any person, even though also an
         officer, director, trustee, partner, employee or agent of
         the Company, who may be or become an officer, director,
         trustee, partner, employee or agent of the Investment
         Company, shall be deemed, when rendering services to the
         Investment Company or acting on any business of the
         Investment Company (other than services or business in
         connection with the duties of the Company hereunder) to be
         rendering such services to or acting solely for the
         Investment Company and not as an officer, director,
         trustee, partner, employee or agent or one under the
         control or direction of the Company even though paid by
         the Company.

    B.   The Company shall be kept indemnified by the Investment Company
         and be without liability for any action taken or thing done by it
         in performing the Administrative Services in accordance with the
         above standards.  In order that the indemnification provisions
         contained in this Article 10 shall apply, however, it is
         understood that if in any case the Investment Company may be asked
         to indemnify or hold the Company harmless, the Investment Company
         shall be fully and promptly advised of all pertinent facts
         concerning the situation in question, and it is further understood
         that the Company will use all reasonable care to identify and
         notify the Investment Company promptly concerning any situation
         which presents or appears likely to present the probability of
         such a claim for indemnification against the Investment Company.
         The Investment Company shall have the option to defend the Company
         against any claim which may be the subject of this
         indemnification.  In the event that the Investment Company so
         elects, it will so notify the Company and thereupon the Investment
         Company shall take over complete defense of the claim, and the
         Company shall in such situation initiate no further legal or other
         expenses for which it shall seek indemnification under this
         Article.  The Company shall in no case confess any claim or make
         any compromise in any case in which the Investment Company will be
         asked to indemnify the Company except with the Investment
         Company's written consent.

SECTION THREE: TRANSFER AGENCY SERVICES.

ARTICLE 11.  TERMS OF APPOINTMENT.

    Subject  to the  terms  and  conditions  set  forth in this  Agreement,  the
Investment Company hereby appoints the Company to act as, and the Company agrees
to act as, transfer agent and dividend  disbursing agent for each Fund's Shares,
and agent in connection  with any  accumulation,  open-account  or similar plans
provided to the shareholders of any Fund  ("Shareholder(s)"),  including without
limitation any periodic investment plan or periodic withdrawal program.

ARTICLE 12.  DUTIES OF THE COMPANY.

    The Company shall perform the following  services in accordance  with Proper
Instructions  as may be provided from time to time by the Investment  Company as
to any Fund:

    A.   Purchases

         (1)     The Company shall  receive  orders and payment for the purchase
                 of  shares  and  promptly   deliver   payment  and  appropriate
                 documentation  therefore to the custodian of the relevant Fund,
                 (the  "Custodian").  The Company  shall notify the Fund and the
                 Custodian  on a daily  basis of the total  amount of orders and
                 payments so delivered.

         (2)     Pursuant to purchase  orders and in accordance  with the Fund's
                 current  Prospectus,  the Company  shall  compute and issue the
                 appropriate number of Shares of each Fund and/or Class and hold
                 such Shares in the appropriate Shareholder accounts.

         (3)     In the event that any check or other order for the  purchase of
                 Shares of the Fund  and/or  Class is  returned  unpaid  for any
                 reason,  the  Company  shall  debit  the Share  account  of the
                 Shareholder  by the number of Shares that had been  credited to
                 its account upon receipt of the check or other order,  promptly
                 mail a debit  advice to the  Shareholder,  and  notify the Fund
                 and/or  Class of its action.  In the event that the amount paid
                 for such  Shares  exceeds  proceeds of the  redemption  of such
                 Shares plus the amount of any  dividends  paid with  respect to
                 such Shares,  the Fund and/the  Class or its  distributor  will
                 reimburse the Company on the amount of such excess.

    B.   Distribution

         (1)     Upon  notification  by  the  Funds  of the  declaration  of any
                 distribution to Shareholders, the Company shall act as Dividend
                 Disbursing   Agent  for  the  Funds  in  accordance   with  the
                 provisions  of its  governing  document  and  the  then-current
                 Prospectus  of the Fund.  The Company shall prepare and mail or
                 credit   income,   capital  gain,  or  any  other  payments  to
                 Shareholders.  As the Dividend  Disbursing  Agent,  the Company
                 shall, on or before the payment date of any such  distribution,
                 notify the  Custodian of the estimated  amount  required to pay
                 any portion of said  distribution  which is payable in cash and
                 request the Custodian to make  available  sufficient  funds for
                 the cash amount to be paid out. The Company shall reconcile the
                 amounts so requested and the amounts actually received with the
                 Custodian on a daily  basis.  If a  Shareholder  is entitled to
                 receive additional Shares by virtue of any such distribution or
                 dividend,   appropriate   credits   shall   be   made   to  the
                 Shareholder's account; and

         (2)     The Company shall maintain records of account for each Fund and
                 Class and advise the  Investment  Company,  each Fund and Class
                 and its Shareholders as to the foregoing.

    C.   Redemptions and Transfers

         (1)     The Company shall receive  redemption  requests and  redemption
                 directions  and, if such  redemption  requests  comply with the
                 procedures  as may be described in the Fund  Prospectus  or set
                 forth  in  Proper   Instructions,   deliver   the   appropriate
                 instructions  therefor  to the  Custodian.  The  Company  shall
                 notify  the  Funds on a daily  basis  of the  total  amount  of
                 redemption requests processed and monies paid to the Company by
                 the Custodian for redemptions.

         (2)     At the appropriate time upon receiving redemption proceeds from
                 the Custodian with respect to any redemption, the Company shall
                 pay or cause to be paid the  redemption  proceeds in the manner
                 instructed   by  the   redeeming   Shareholders,   pursuant  to
                 procedures  described  in the  then-current  Prospectus  of the
                 Fund.

         (3)     If any certificate returned for redemption or other request for
                 redemption  does not comply with the  procedures for redemption
                 approved by the Fund,  the Company  shall  promptly  notify the
                 Shareholder  of such fact,  together with the reason  therefor,
                 and shall effect such redemption at the price applicable to the
                 date and time of  receipt  of  documents  complying  with  said
                 procedures.

         (4)     The Company shall effect  transfers of Shares by the registered
                 owners thereof.

         (5)     The Company shall identify and process  abandoned  accounts and
                 uncashed  checks for state  escheat  requirements  on an annual
                 basis and report such actions to the Fund.

    D.   Recordkeeping

         (1)     The Company  shall  record the issuance of Shares of each Fund,
                 and/or Class, and maintain  pursuant to applicable rules of the
                 Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  ("SEC")  a record of the
                 total  number  of  Shares of the Fund  and/or  Class  which are
                 authorized,  based upon data  provided  to it by the Fund,  and
                 issued and outstanding. The Company shall also provide the Fund
                 on a regular  basis or upon  reasonable  request with the total
                 number  of  Shares   which  are   authorized   and  issued  and
                 outstanding,  but shall have no obligation  when  recording the
                 issuance of Shares,  except as otherwise set forth  herein,  to
                 monitor the  issuance of such Shares or to take  cognizance  of
                 any laws  relating to the issue or sale of such  Shares,  which
                 functions shall be the sole responsibility of the Funds.

         (2)     The Company shall  establish and maintain  records  pursuant to
                 applicable  rules of the SEC  relating  to the  services  to be
                 performed  hereunder in the form and manner as agreed to by the

                 (b)    Number of Shares held;

                 (c)    Historical information regarding the account,  including
                        dividends paid and date and price for all transactions;

                 (d)    Any  stop  or  restraining   order  placed  against  the
                        account;

                 (e)    Information with respect to withholding in the case of a
                        foreign  account or an account for which  withholding is
                        required by the Internal Revenue Code;

                 (f)    Any  dividend   reinvestment  order,  plan  application,

                 record  retention  shall be at the expense of the Company,  and

                 first two of which such documents will be in readily accessible
                 form.  At the end of the six  year  period,  such  records  and
                 documents  will either be turned over to the Fund or  destroyed

                 required  to be  withheld  under  applicable  federal and state
                 income tax laws, rules and regulations.

may hereafter specify,  shall be deemed to have been properly delivered or given
hereunder to the respective address.

ARTICLE 29.  COUNTERPARTS.

        This   Agreement  may  be  executed   simultaneously   in  two  or  more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original.

 ARTICLE 30.  LIMITATIONS  OF  LIABILITY  OF TRUSTEES  AND  SHAREHOLDERS  OF THE
COMPANY.

    The execution  and delivery of this  Agreement  have been  authorized by the
Trustees  of the  Company and signed by an  authorized  officer of the  Company,
acting  as such,  and  neither  such  authorization  by such  Trustees  nor such
execution  and delivery by such officer shall be deemed to have been made by any
of them  individually or to impose any liability on any of them personally,  and
the  obligations  of this  Agreement are not binding upon any of the Trustees or
Shareholders of the Company, but bind only the appropriate property of the Fund,
or Class, as provided in the Declaration of Trust.

ARTICLE 31.  MERGER OF AGREEMENT.

    This Agreement  constitutes the entire agreement  between the parties hereto
and  supersedes  any prior  agreement with respect to the subject hereof whether
oral or written.

ARTICLE 32.  SUCCESSOR AGENT.

    If a successor  agent for the  Investment  Company shall be appointed by the
Investment Company, the Company shall upon termination of this Agreement deliver
to such  successor  agent at the office of the  Company  all  properties  of the
Investment  Company held by it hereunder.  If no such  successor  agent shall be
appointed,  the Company shall at its office upon receipt of Proper  Instructions
deliver such properties in accordance with such instructions.

    In the event that no written order  designating a successor  agent or Proper
Instructions shall have been delivered to the Company on or before the date when
such termination shall become  effective,  then the Company shall have the right
to deliver to a bank or trust company,  which is a "bank" as defined in the 1940
Act, of its own selection,  having an aggregate capital,  surplus, and undivided
profits, as shown by its last published report, of not less than $2,000,000, all
properties  held by the Company under this Agreement.  Thereafter,  such bank or
trust company shall be the successor of the Company under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 33.  FORCE MAJEURE.

    The Company shall have no liability  for cessation of services  hereunder or
any damages resulting therefrom to the Fund as a result of work stoppage,  power
or  other   mechanical   failure,   natural   disaster,   governmental   action,
communication disruption or other impossibility of performance.

ARTICLE 34.  ASSIGNMENT; SUCCESSORS.

    This  Agreement  shall not be  assigned  by either  party  without the prior
written  consent of the other party,  except that either party may assign all of
or a  substantial  portion  of  its  business  to a  successor,  or  to a  party
controlling,  controlled by, or under common control with such party. Nothing in
this Article 34 shall prevent the Company from  delegating its  responsibilities
to another entity to the extent provided herein.

ARTICLE 35.  SEVERABILITY.

    In the  event any  provision  of this  Agreement  is held  illegal,  void or
unenforceable, the balance shall remain in effect.

ARTICLE 36.  LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF 
THE INVESTMENT COMPANY.

    The execution  and delivery of this  Agreement  have been  authorized by the
Trustees of the  Investment  Company and signed by an authorized  officer of the
Investment  Company,  acting as such,  and neither  such  authorization  by such
Trustees nor such execution and delivery by such officer shall be deemed to have
been made by any of them  individually or to impose any liability on any of them
personally,  and the  obligations  of this Agreement are not binding upon any of
the  Trustees  or  Shareholders  of the  Investment  Company,  but bind only the
property of the Fund, or Class, as provided in the Declaration of Trust.

    IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the parties  hereto have caused this  Agreement  to be
executed  in their  names and on their  behalf  under their seals by and through
their duly authorized officers, as of the day and year first above written.
