INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
FEDERATED MUNICIPAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND, INC.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and
liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Federated
Municipal Opportunities Fund, Inc. as of August 31, 1998, the
related statement of operations for the year then ended, the
statements of changes in net assets for the years ended August
31, 1998 and 1997, and the financial highlights for the periods
presented. 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 generally accepted
auditing standards. 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. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of the
securities owned as of August 31, 1998, by correspondence with
the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received, we
performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Federated Municipal Opportunities Fund,
Inc. as of August 31, 1998, the results of its operations, the
changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for the
respective stated periods in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
