Risk/Return Summary

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?

The Fund is a money market fund that seeks to maintain a stable net asset value (NAV) of $1.00 per Share. The Fund's investment objective is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax and the personal income taxes imposed by the State of California consistent with stability of principal. While there is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective, it endeavors to do so by following the strategies and policies described in this prospectus.

WHAT ARE THE FUND'S MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES?

The Fund invests in short-term, high-quality California tax exempt securities. The Fund will invest its assets so that at least 80% of its annual interest income is exempt from federal regular income tax and California state income tax or so that at least 80% of its net assets is invested in obligations, the interest income from which is exempt from federal regular income tax and California state income tax. Interest from the Fund's investments may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals and corporations (AMT). The dollar-weighted average maturity of the Fund's portfolio will be 90 days or less.

WHAT ARE THE MAIN RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, even though the Fund is a money market fund that seeks to maintain a stable NAV, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. Because the Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in securities of a single state, an investment in the Fund may involve additional risks compared to a fully diversified money market fund. The Shares offered by this prospectus are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency.

Risk/Return Bar Chart and Table

[Graphic Representation Omitted - See Appendix]

The total returns shown here are for Institutional Service Shares, which is another class of shares offered by California Municipal Cash Trust. Institutional Service Shares are not offered in this prospectus for the Fund's Cash II Shares. The total returns for Institutional Service Shares are disclosed here because Cash II Shares have only been offered since December 18, 2000. These total returns would be substantially similar to the annual returns for Cash II Shares over the same period and would differ only to the extent that the two classes do not have the same expenses. It is anticipated that expenses of Cash II Shares will exceed those of Institutional Service Shares.

Historically, the Fund has maintained a constant $1.00 NAV per Share. The bar chart shows the variability of the Fund's Institutional Service Shares total returns on a calendar year-end basis.

The Fund's Shares are sold without a sales charge (load). The total returns displayed above are based upon NAV.

The Fund's Institutional Service Shares total return for the nine-month period from January 1, 2000 to September 30, 2000 was 2.44%.

Within the period shown in the Chart, the Fund's Institutional Service Shares highest quarterly return was 1.35% (quarter ended June 30, 1990). Its lowest quarterly return was 0.44% (quarters ended March 31, 1993 and March 31, 1994).

Average Annual Total Return Table

The following table represents the Fund's Institutional Service Shares Average Annual Total Returns for the calendar periods ended December 31, 1999.

Calendar Period		Fund
1 Year		2.77%
5 Years		3.11%
10 Years		3.15%

The Fund's Institutional Service Shares 7-Day Net Yield as of December 31, 1999 was 3.83%. You may call the Fund at 1-800-341-7400 for the current 7-Day Net Yield.

Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. This information provides you with historical performance information so that you can analyze whether the Fund's investment risks are balanced by its potential returns.

EXAMPLE

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund's Cash II Shares with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund's Cash II Shares for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's Cash II Shares operating expenses are before waivers as estimated in the table and remain the same. Although your actual costs and returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 Year	$	111

3 Years	$	347

5 Years	$	601

10 Years	$	1,329

What are the Fund's Investment Strategies?

The Fund invests in a portfolio of high-quality California tax exempt securities maturing in 397 days or less. The Fund will invest its assets so that at least 80% of its annual interest income is exempt from federal regular income tax and California state income tax or so that at least 80% of its net assets is invested in obligations, the interest income from which is exempt from federal regular income tax and California state income tax. Interest from the Fund's investments may be subject to AMT. The dollar-weighted average maturity of the Fund's portfolio will be 90 days or less. The Adviser actively manages the Fund's portfolio, seeking to limit the credit risk taken by the Fund and to select investments with enhanced yields.

The Adviser performs a fundamental credit analysis to develop an approved list of issuers and securities that meet the Adviser's standard for minimal credit risk. The Adviser monitors the credit risks of all portfolio securities on an ongoing basis by reviewing periodic financial data and ratings of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs).

The Adviser targets an average portfolio maturity based upon its interest rate outlook and the tax exempt securities available. The Adviser formulates its interest rate outlook by analyzing a variety of factors such as current and expected U.S. economic growth; current and expected interest rates and inflation; and the Federal Reserve Board's monetary policy. The Adviser structures the portfolio by investing primarily in variable rate demand instruments and municipal notes. The Adviser generally shortens the portfolio's maturity when it expects interest rates to rise and extends the maturity when it expects interest rates to fall. This strategy seeks to enhance the returns from favorable interest rate changes and reduce the effect of unfavorable changes.

TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE INVESTMENTS

The Fund may temporarily depart from its principal investment strategies by investing its assets in cash and securities subject to federal and California income tax. It may do this to minimize potential losses and maintain liquidity to meet shareholder redemptions during adverse market conditions. This may cause the Fund to receive and distribute taxable income to investors.

What are the Principal Securities in Which the Fund Invests?

TAX EXEMPT SECURITIES

Tax exempt securities are fixed income securities that pay interest that is not subject to federal income taxes. 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.

Typically, states, counties, cities and other political subdivisions and authorities issue tax exempt securities. The market categorizes tax exempt securities by their source of repayment.

Variable Rate Demand Instruments

Variable rate demand instruments are tax exempt securities that require the issuer or a third party, such as a dealer or bank, to repurchase the security for its face value upon demand. The securities also pay interest at a variable rate intended to cause the securities to trade at their face value. The Fund treats demand instruments as short-term securities, because their variable interest rate adjusts in response to changes in market rates, even though their stated maturity may extend beyond 397 days.

Municipal Notes

Municipal notes are short-term tax exempt securities. Many municipalities issue such notes to fund their current operations before collecting taxes or other municipal revenues. Municipalities may also issue notes to fund capital projects prior to issuing long-term bonds. The issuers typically repay the notes at the end of their fiscal year, either with taxes, other revenues or proceeds from newly issued notes or bonds.

CREDIT ENHANCEMENT

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.

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 NRSRO or be of comparable quality to securities having such ratings.

What are the Specific Risks of Investing in the Fund?

CREDIT RISKS

Credit risk is the possibility that an issuer will default on a security by failing to pay interest or principal when due. If an issuer defaults, the Fund will lose money. Money market funds try to minimize this risk by purchasing higher quality securities.

Many fixed income securities receive credit ratings from NRSROs such as Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investors Service. These NRSROs assign ratings to securities by assessing the likelihood of issuer default. Lower credit ratings correspond to higher credit risk. If a security has not received a rating, the Fund must rely entirely on the Adviser's credit assessment.

INTEREST RATE RISKS

Prices of fixed income securities rise and fall in response to changes in the interest rate paid by similar securities. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of fixed income securities fall. However, market factors, such as the demand for particular fixed income securities, may cause the price of certain fixed income securities to fall while the prices of other securities rise or remain unchanged.

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.

SECTOR RISKS

A substantial part of the Fund's portfolio may be comprised of securities issued by California issuers or credit enhanced by banks or companies with similar characteristics. As a result, the Fund will be more susceptible to any economic, business, political or other developments which generally affect these entities.

CALIFORNIA SECTOR RISKS

Since the Fund invests primarily in issuers from California, the Fund may be subject to additional risks compared to funds that invest in multiple states. California's deep economic base continues to experience increased diversity and strong growth as its economy has recovered from a deep recession in the early 1990s (sparked by downsizing in the aerospace industry in relation to military cutbacks). The major components of California's economy continue to be high technology (particularly Internet-related firms), trade, entertainment, manufacturing, tourism, construction and services. California's location is a benefit to its trade component; however, these factors lead to above-average exposure to international economic conditions.

What Do Shares Cost?

You can purchase or redeem Shares any day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open. The Fund attempts to stabilize the NAV of its Shares at $1.00 by valuing the portfolio securities using the amortized cost method. The Fund cannot guarantee that its NAV will always remain at $1.00 per Share. The Fund does not charge a front-end sales charge.

When the Fund receives your transaction request in proper form (as described in this prospectus), it is processed at the next determined NAV. NAV is determined at 12:00 noon, 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 $10,000. There is no required minimum subsequent investment amount.

An account may be opened with a smaller amount as long as the $10,000 minimum 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.

How is the Fund Sold?

The Fund offers three share classes: Cash II Shares, Institutional Shares and Institutional Service Shares, each representing interests in a single portfolio of securities. This prospectus relates only to Cash II Shares. Each share class has different expenses, which affect their performance. Contact your investment professional or call 1-800-341-7400 for more information concerning the other classes.

The Fund's Distributor, Federated Securities Corp., markets the Shares described in this prospectus to financial institutions acting in an agency or fiduciary capacity, or to individuals, directly or through investment professionals. The Fund may not be a suitable investment for retirement plans or for non-California taxpayers because it invests in California municipal securities.

When the Distributor receives marketing fees, it may pay some or all of them to investment professionals. 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).

RULE 12B-1 PLAN

The Fund has adopted a Rule 12b-1 Plan, which allows it to pay marketing fees to the Distributor and investment professionals for the sale, distribution and customer servicing of the Fund's Cash II Shares. Because these Shares pay marketing fees on an ongoing basis, your investment cost may be higher over time than other shares with different marketing fees.

How to Purchase Shares

You may purchase Shares through an investment professional or directly from the Fund. The Fund reserves the right to reject any request to purchase Shares.

THROUGH AN INVESTMENT PROFESSIONAL

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:

to allow your purchase to clear;

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 Shares represented by certificates previously issued by the Fund, you must return the certificates with your written redemption request. For your protection, send your certificates by registered or certified mail, but do not endorse them.

Account and Share Information

ACCOUNT ACTIVITY

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.

The Fund does not expect to realize any capital gains or losses. If capital gains or losses were to occur, they could result in an increase or decrease in dividends. 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.

ACCOUNTS WITH LOW BALANCES

Due to the high cost of maintaining accounts with low balances, accounts may be closed if redemptions 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. It is anticipated that Fund distributions will be primarily dividends that are exempt from federal income tax, although a portion of the Fund's dividends may not be exempt. Dividends may be subject to state and local taxes, although the Fund's dividends will be exempt from the California taxes discussed above to the extent they are derived from interest on obligations exempt from such taxes. Capital gains and non-exempt dividends are taxable whether paid in cash or reinvested in the Fund. Redemptions are taxable sales. Please consult your tax adviser regarding your federal, state and local tax liability.

Who Manages the Fund?

The Board of Trustees governs the Fund. The Board selects and oversees the Adviser, Federated Investment Management Company. 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.

More than 4,000 investment professionals make Federated Funds available to their customers.

EXAMPLE

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund's Institutional Service Shares with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

<R>

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund's Institutional Service Shares for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's Institutional Service Shares operating expenses are before waivers as shown in the table and remain the same. Although your actual costs and returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

</R>

1 Year	$	91

3 Years	$	284

5 Years	$	493

10 Years	$	1,096

</R>

Typically, states, counties, cities and other political subdivisions and authorities issue tax exempt securities. The market categorizes tax exempt securities by their source of repayment.

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 NRSRO or be of comparable quality to securities having such ratings.

What are the Specific Risks of Investing in the Fund?

CREDIT RISKS

<R>

</R>

INTEREST RATE RISKS

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.

SECTOR RISKS

CALIFORNIA SECTOR RISKS

Since the Fund invests primarily in issuers from California, the Fund may be subject to additional risks compared to funds that invest in multiple states. California's deep economic base continues to experience increased diversity and strong growth as its economy has recovered from a deep recession in the early 1990's (sparked by downsizing in the aerospace industry in relation to military cutbacks). The major components of California's economy continue to be high technology (particularly Internet-related firms), trade, entertainment, manufacturing, tourism, construction and services. California's location is a benefit to its trade component; however, these factors lead to above-average exposure to international economic conditions.

What Do Shares Cost?

<R>

When the Fund receives your transaction request in proper form (as described in this prospectus), it is processed at the next determined NAV. 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.

</R>

<R>

The required minimum initial investment for Fund Shares is $10,000. There is no required minimum subsequent investment amount.

</R>

<R>

</R>

How is the Fund Sold?

<R>

The Fund offers three share classes: Institutional Service Shares, Institutional Shares and Cash II Shares, each representing interests in a single portfolio of securities. This prospectus relates only to Institutional Service Shares. Each share class has different expenses, which affect their performance. Contact your investment professional or call 1-800-341-7400 for more information concerning the other classes.

1 The Fund may only invest in securities rated in one of the two highest short-term rating categories by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations ("NRSROs") or unrated securities of comparable quality. An NRSRO's two highest rating categories are determined without regard for sub-categories and gradations. For example, securities rated SP-1+, SP-1 or SP-2 by Standard & Poor's, MIG-1 or MIG-2 by Moody's Investors Service, or F-1+, F-1 or F-2 by Fitch IBCA, Inc. are all considered rated in one of the two highest short-term rating categories. Securities rated in the highest short-term rating category (and unrated securities of comparable quality) are identified as First Tier securities.

Securities rated in the second highest short-term rating category (and unrated securities of comparable quality) are identified as Second Tier securities. The Fund follows applicable regulations in determining whether a security is rated and whether a security rated by multiple NRSROs in different rating categories should be identified as a First or Second Tier security.

At October 31, 2000, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Tier Rating Based on Total Market Value

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2000

ORGANIZATION

Effective February 1, 2000, California Municipal Cash Trust (the "Fund") became a portfolio of the Money Market Obligations Trust (the "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 40 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of the Fund. 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. The Fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and Institutional Service Shares. Effective December 18, 2000, the Fund will commence offering Cash II Shares. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax and the personal income taxes imposed by the State of California consistent with stability of principal.

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.

Investment Valuations

The Fund uses the amortized cost method to value its portfolio securities in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Bond premium and discount, if applicable, are amortized as required by the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code"). Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. The Fund offers multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share 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.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the provisions of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal 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.

Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. In some cases, the restricted securities may be resold without registration upon exercise of a demand feature. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees"). The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. Restricted securities are valued at amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.

SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value) for each class of shares.

INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated Investment Management Company, the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses of the Fund. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Administrative Fee

Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on a scale that ranges from 0.15% to 0.075% of the average aggregate daily net assets of all funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., subject to a $125,000 minimum per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class.

Shareholder Services Fee

Under the terms of a Shareholder Services Agreement with Federated Shareholder Services Company ("FSSC"), the Fund will pay FSSC up to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Fund shares for the period. The fee paid to FSSC is used to finance certain services for shareholders and to maintain shareholder accounts. FSSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

FServ, through its subsidiary FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type, and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

FServ maintains the Fund's accounting records for which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of the Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Interfund Transactions

During the period ended October 31, 2000, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions were made at current market value pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $963,070,588 and $1,108,280,000, respectively.

General

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

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at October 31, 2000, 51.2% of the securities in the portfolio of investments were backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 16.0% of total investments.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF MONEY MARKET OBLIGATIONS TRUST AND SHAREHOLDERS OF CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL CASH TRUST:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments of the California Municipal Cash Trust (one of the portfolios constituting Money Market Obligations Trust) as of October 31, 2000, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. The financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended October 31, 1998 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated December 23, 1998, expressed an unqualified opinion on that statement and those financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2000, by correspondence with the custodian. 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 audit provides 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 the California Municipal Cash Trust of the Money Market Obligations Trust at October 31, 2000, the results of its operations for the year then ended, changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

How is the Fund Organized?

<R>

The Fund is a diversified portfolio of Money Market Obligations Trust (Trust). The Trust is an open-end, management investment company that was established under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on October 3, 1998. The Trust may offer separate series of shares representing interests in separate portfolios of securities. The Fund, which was established on May 30, 1994, was reorganized as a portfolio of the Trust on February 1, 2000.

</R>

<R>

The Board of Trustees (the Board) has established three classes of shares of the Fund, known as Institutional Service Shares, Institutional Shares and Cash II Shares (Shares). This SAI relates to all three classes of Shares. The Fund's investment adviser is Federated Investment Management Company (Adviser).

</R>

Securities in Which the Fund Invests

<R>

The Fund's principal securities are described in its prospectus. Additional securities, and further information regarding the principal securities, are outlined below. In pursuing its investment strategy, the Fund may invest in such securities for any purpose that is consistent with its investment objective.

</R>

SECURITIES DESCRIPTIONS AND TECHNIQUES

FIXED INCOME SECURITIES

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 risks generally have higher yields.

<R>

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

</R>

Tax Exempt Securities

Tax exempt securities are fixed income securities that pay interest that is not subject to federal regular income taxes. Typically, states, counties, cities and other political subdivisions and authorities issue tax exempt securities. The market categorizes tax exempt securities by their source of repayment.

General Obligation Bonds

General obligation bonds are supported by the issuer's power to exact property or other taxes. The issuer must impose and collect taxes sufficient to pay principal and interest on the bonds. However, the issuer's authority to impose additional taxes may be limited by its charter or state law.

Special Revenue Bonds

<R>

Special revenue bonds are payable solely from specific revenues received by the issuer such as specific taxes, assessments, tolls or fees. Bondholders may not collect from the municipality's general taxes or revenues. For example, a municipality may issue bonds to build a toll road and pledge the tolls to repay the bonds. Therefore, a shortfall in the tolls normally would result in a default on the bonds.

</R>

Private Activity Bonds

Private activity bonds are special revenue bonds used to finance private entities. For example, a municipality may issue bonds to finance a new factory to improve its local economy. The municipality would lend the proceeds from its bonds to the company using the factory, and the company would agree to make loan payments sufficient to repay the bonds. The bonds would be payable solely from the company's loan payments, not from any other revenues of the municipality. Therefore, any default on the loan normally would result in a default on the bonds.

The interest on many types of private activity bonds is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT). The Fund may invest in bonds subject to AMT.

Municipal Leases

Municipalities may enter into leases for equipment or facilities. In order to comply with state public financing laws, these leases are typically subject to annual appropriation. In other words, a municipality may end a lease, without penalty, by not providing for the lease payments in its annual budget. After the lease ends, the lessor can resell the equipment or facility but may lose money on the sale. The Fund may invest in securities supported by individual leases or pools of leases.

Zero Coupon Securities

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 interest rate risks and credit risks of a zero coupon security.

<R>

Municipal Mortgage Backed Securities

</R>

<R>

Municipal mortgage backed securities are special revenue bonds the proceeds of which may be used to provide mortgage loans for single family homes or to finance multifamily housing. Municipal mortgage backed securities represent interests in pools of mortgages. The mortgages that comprise a pool normally have similar interest rates, maturities and other terms. Municipal mortgage backed securities generally have fixed interest rates.

</R>

Credit Enhancement

<R>

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 the security's holders. Either form of credit enhancement reduces credit risks by providing another source of payment for a fixed income security.

</R>

INVESTING IN SECURITIES OF OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES

The Fund may invest its assets in securities of other investment companies, including the securities of affiliated money market funds, as an efficient means of carrying out its investment policies and managing its uninvested cash.

SPECIAL TRANSACTIONS

<R>

Inter-Fund Borrowing and Lending Arrangements

</R>

<R>

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has granted an exemption that permits the Fund and all other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc. (Federated funds) to lend and borrow money for certain temporary purposes directly to and from other Federated funds. Participation in this inter-fund lending program is voluntary for both borrowing and lending funds, and an inter-fund loan is only made if it benefits each participating fund. Federated Investors, Inc. (Federated) administers the program according to procedures approved by the Fund's Board, and the Board monitors the operation of the program. Any inter-fund loan must comply with certain conditions set out in the exemption, which are designed to assure fairness and protect all participating funds.

</R>

<R>

For example, inter-fund lending is permitted only: (a) to meet shareholder redemption requests; and (b) to meet commitments arising from "failed" trades. All inter-fund loans must be repaid in seven days or less. The Fund's participation in this program must be consistent with its investment policies and limitations, and must meet certain percentage tests. Inter-fund loans may be made only when the rate of interest to be charged is more attractive to the lending fund than market-competitive rates on overnight repurchase agreements (the "Repo Rate") and more attractive to the borrowing fund than the rate of interest that would be charged by an unaffiliated bank for short-term borrowings (the "Bank Loan Rate"), as determined by the Board. The interest rate imposed on inter-fund loans is the average of the Repo Rate and the Bank Loan Rate.

</R>

DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS

<R>

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 interest rate risks for the Fund. Delayed delivery transactions also involve credit risks in the event of a counterparty default.

</R>

ASSET COVERAGE

In order to secure its obligations in connection with special transactions, including delayed delivery transactions, the Fund will either own the underlying assets 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 without terminating the special transaction. This may cause the Fund to miss favorable trading opportunities or to realize losses on special transactions.

TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE INVESTMENTS

The Fund may make temporary defensive investments in the following taxable securities.

U.S. Treasury Securities

U.S. Treasury securities are direct obligations of the federal government of the United States.

Agency Securities

<R>

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.

</R>

Bank Instruments

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

Corporate Debt 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.

Commercial Paper

Commercial paper is an issuer's 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.

Repurchase Agreements

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

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.

INVESTMENT RATINGS

<R>

Securities rated SP-1+, SP-1 or SP-2 by Standard & Poor's (S&P), MIG-1 or MIG-2 by Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), or F-1+, F-1 or F-2 by Fitch IBCA, Inc. (Fitch) are all considered rated in one of the two highest short-term rating categories. The Fund will follow applicable regulations in determining whether a security rated by more than one rating service 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 rating organizations (NRSROs) in one of their two highest rating categories. See "Regulatory Compliance."

</R>

INVESTMENT RISKS

There are many factors which may affect an investment in the Fund. The Fund's principal risks are described in its prospectus. Additional risk factors are outlined below.

Credit Risks

Credit risk includes the possibility that a party to a transaction involving the Fund will fail to meet its obligations. This could cause the Fund to lose the benefit of the transaction or prevent the Fund from selling or buying other securities to implement its investment strategy.

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.

Tax Risks

In order to be tax-exempt, municipal securities must meet certain legal requirements. Failure to meet such requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by the Fund to shareholders to be taxable.

Changes or proposed changes in federal tax laws may cause the prices of municipal securities to fall.

<R>

Prepayment Risks

</R>

<R>

Unlike traditional fixed income securities, which pay a fixed rate of interest until maturity (when the entire principal amount is due) payments on municipal mortgage backed securities include both interest and a partial payment of principal. Partial payment of principal may be comprised of scheduled principal payments as well as unscheduled payments from the voluntary prepayment, refinancing or foreclosure of the underlying loans. These unscheduled prepayments of principal create risks that can adversely affect a fund holding municipal mortgage backed securities.

</R>

<R>

For example, when interest rates decline, the values of municipal mortgage backed securities generally rise. However, when interest rates decline, unscheduled prepayments can be expected to accelerate, and the Fund would be required to reinvest the proceeds of the prepayments at the lower interest rates then available. Unscheduled prepayments would also limit the potential for capital appreciation on municipal mortgage backed securities.

</R>

<R>

Conversely, when interest rates rise, the values of municipal mortgage backed securities generally fall. Since rising interest rates typically result in decreased prepayments, this could lengthen the average lives of municipal mortgage backed securities, and cause their value to decline more than traditional fixed income securities.

</R>

<R>

FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICY

</R>

<R>

The Fund's investment objective is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax and the personal income taxes imposed by the State of California consistent with stability of principal.

</R>

The Fund invests in tax-exempt securities so that at least 80% of its annual interest income is exempt from federal regular income tax and California state income tax or so that at least 80% of its net assets is invested in obligations, the interest income from which is exempt from federal regular income tax and California state income tax.

This investment objective and policy may not be changed by the Board without shareholder approval.

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

Diversification

With respect to securities comprising 75% of the value of its total assets, the Fund will not purchase securities of any one issuer (other than cash; cash items; securities issued or guaranteed by the government of the United States or its agencies or instrumentalities and repurchase agreements collateralized by such U.S. government securities; and securities of other investment companies) if, as a result, more than 5% of the value of its total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer, or the Fund would own more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer.

Concentration of Investments

The Fund will not make investments that will result in the concentration of its investments in the securities of issuers primarily engaged in the same industry. Government securities, municipal securities and bank instruments will not be deemed to constitute an industry.

Investing in Real Estate

The Fund may not purchase or sell real estate, provided that this restriction does not prevent the Fund from investing in issuers which invest, deal, or otherwise engage in transactions in real estate or interests therein, or investing in securities that are secured by real estate or interests therein. The Fund may exercise its rights under agreements relating to such securities, including the right to enforce security interests and to hold real estate acquired by reason of such enforcement until that real estate can be liquidated in an orderly manner.

Underwriting

The Fund may not underwrite the securities of other issuers, except that the Fund may engage in transactions involving the acquisition, disposition or resale of its portfolio securities, under circumstances where it may be considered to be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933.

Investing in Commodities

The Fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities, provided that the Fund may purchase securities of companies that deal in commodities.

Issuing Senior Securities and Borrowing Money

<R>

The Fund may borrow money, directly or indirectly, and issue senior securities to the maximum extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").

</R>

Lending Cash or Securities

The Fund may not make loans, provided that this restriction does not prevent the Fund from purchasing debt obligations, entering into repurchase agreements, lending its assets to broker/dealers or institutional investors and investing in loans, including assignments and participation interests.

The above limitations cannot be changed unless authorized by the Board and by the "vote of a majority of its outstanding voting securities," as defined by the 1940 Act. The following limitations, however, may be changed by the Board without shareholder approval. Shareholders will be notified before any material change in these limitations becomes effective.

Pledging Assets

<R>

The Fund will not mortgage, pledge or hypothecate any of its assets, provided that this shall not apply to the transfer of securities in connection with any permissible borrowing or to collateral arrangements in connection with permissible activities.

</R>

Buying on Margin

The Fund will not purchase securities on margin, provided that the Fund may obtain short-term credits necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of securities.

Investing in Illiquid Securities

The Fund will not purchase securities for which there is no readily available market, or enter into repurchase agreements or purchase time deposits maturing in more than seven days, if immediately after and as a result, the value of such securities would exceed, in the aggregate, 10% of the Fund's net assets.

Investing in Restricted Securities

The Fund may invest in securities subject to restrictions on resale under the Securities Act of 1933.

For purposes of the diversification limitation, 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.

<R>

For purposes of the concentration limitation: (a) utility companies will be divided according to their services, for example, gas, gas transmission, electric and telephone will each be considered a separate industry; (b) financial service companies will be classified according to the end users of their services, for example, automobile finance, bank finance and diversified finance will each be considered a separate industry; and (c) asset-backed securities will be classified according to the underlying assets securing such securities. To conform to the current view of the SEC staff that only domestic bank instruments may be excluded from industry concentration limitations, the Fund will not exceed foreign bank instruments from industry concentration limitation tests so long as the policy of the SEC remains in effect. In addition, investments in certain industrial development bonds funded by activities in a single industry will be deemed to constitute investment in an industry, except when held for temporary defensive purposes. The investment of more than 25% of the value of the Fund's total assets in any one industry will constitute "concentration."

</R>

Regulatory Compliance

<R>

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 SAI, in order to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including the provisions of and regulations under the 1940 Act. In particular, the Fund will comply with the various requirements of Rule 2a-7 (the "Rule"), which regulates money market mutual funds. The Fund will determine the effective maturity of its investments according to the Rule. The Fund may change these operational policies to reflect changes in the laws and regulations without the approval of its shareholders.

</R>

DETERMINING MARKET VALUE OF SECURITIES

<R>

The Board has 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 (NAV) 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 NAV 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.

</R>

<R>

The Fund's use of the amortized cost method of valuing portfolio instruments depends on its compliance with certain conditions in the Rule. Under the Rule, the Board must establish procedures reasonably designed to stabilize the NAV 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 NAV per Share based upon available indications of market value. The Board 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 Board will take any steps it considers 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 NAV.

</R>

What Do Shares Cost?

The NAV for each class of Shares may differ due to the variance in daily net income realized by each class. Such variance will reflect only accrued net income to which the shareholders of a particular class are entitled.

How is the Fund Sold?

Under the Distributor's Contract with the Fund, the Distributor (Federated Securities Corp.) offers Shares on a continuous, best-efforts basis.

<R>

RULE 12B-1 PLAN (CASH II SHARES ONLY)

</R>

<R>

As a compensation-type plan, the Rule 12b-1 Plan is designed to pay the Distributor (who may then pay investment professionals such as banks, broker/dealers, trust departments of banks, and registered investment advisers) for marketing activities (such as advertising, printing and distributing prospectuses, and providing incentives to investment professionals) to promote sales of Shares so that overall Fund assets are maintained or increased. This helps the Fund achieve economies of scale, reduce per share expenses and provide cash for orderly portfolio management and Share redemptions. In addition, the Fund's service providers that receive asset-based fees also benefit from stable or increasing Fund assets.

</R>

<R>

The Fund may compensate the Distributor more or less than its actual marketing expenses. In no event will the Fund pay for any expenses of the Distributor that exceed the maximum Rule 12b-1 Plan fee.

</R>

<R>

For some classes of Shares, the maximum Rule 12b-1 Plan fee that can be paid in any one year may not be sufficient to cover the marketing-related expenses the Distributor has incurred. Therefore, it may take the Distributor a number of years to recoup these expenses.

</R>

SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

<R>

The Fund may pay Federated Shareholder Services Company, a subsidiary of 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.

</R>

SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENTS

<R>

Investment professionals (such as broker/dealers or banks) may be paid fees, in significant amounts, out of the assets of the Distributor and/or Federated Shareholder Services Company (these fees do not come out of Fund assets). The Distributor and/or Federated Shareholder Services Company may be reimbursed by the Adviser or its affiliates.

</R>

<R>

Investment professionals receive such fees for providing distribution-related and/or shareholder services, such as advertising, providing incentives to their sales personnel, sponsoring other activities intended to promote sales, and maintaining shareholder accounts. These payments may be based upon such factors as the number or value of Shares the investment professional sells or may sell; the value of client assets invested; and/or the type and nature of sales or marketing support furnished by the investment professional.

</R>

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.

<R>

Because the Fund has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act, 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.

</R>

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.

Massachusetts Partnership Law

Under certain circumstances, shareholders may be held personally liable as partners under Massachusetts law for obligations of the Trust. To protect its shareholders, the Trust has filed legal documents with Massachusetts that expressly disclaim the liability of its shareholders for acts or obligations of the Trust.

In the unlikely event a shareholder is held personally liable for the Trust's obligations, the Trust is required by the Declaration of Trust to use its property to protect or compensate the shareholder. On request, the Trust will defend any claim made and pay any judgment against a shareholder for any act or obligation of the Trust. Therefore, financial loss resulting from liability as a shareholder will occur only if the Trust itself cannot meet its obligations to indemnify shareholders and pay judgments against them.

Account and Share Information

VOTING RIGHTS

<R>

Each Share of the Fund gives the shareholder one vote in Trustee elections and other matters submitted to shareholders for vote. All Shares of the Trust have equal voting rights, except that in matters affecting only a particular fund or class, only shares of that fund or class are entitled to vote.

</R>

Trustees 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 Trust's outstanding shares of all series entitled to vote.

INVESTMENT ADVISER

</R>

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

The Adviser is a wholly owned subsidiary of Federated.

<R>

The Adviser shall not be liable to the Trust 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 Trust.

</R>

Other Related Services

<R>

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.

</R>

<R>

CODE OF ETHICS RESTRICTIONS ON PERSONAL TRADING

</R>

<R>

As required by SEC rules, the Fund, its Adviser and its Distributor have adopted codes of ethics. These codes govern securities trading activities of investment personnel, Fund Trustees and certain other employees. Although they do permit these people to trade in securities, including those that the Fund could buy, they also contain significant safeguards designed to protect the Fund and its shareholders from abuses in this area, such as requirements to obtain prior approval for, and to report, particular transactions.

</R>

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. 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.

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 Fee		Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets of the Federated Funds
0.150 of 1%		on the first $250 million
0.125 of 1%		on the next $250 million
0.100 of 1%		on the next $250 million
0.075 of 1%		on assets in excess of $750 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.

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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The independent auditor for the Fund, Ernst & Young LLP, plans and performs its audit so that it may provide an opinion as to whether the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.

</R>

How Does the Fund Measure Performance?

<R>

The Fund may advertise Share performance by using the SEC's 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.

</R>

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

<R>

Total returns are given for the one-year and Start of Performance periods ended October 31, 2000.

</R>

<R>

Yield, Effective Yield and Tax-Equivalent Yield are given for the 7-day period ended October 31, 2000.

Institutional Shares:
Total Return	NA	3.54%	3.33%
Yield	3.69%	NA	NA

Tax-Equivalent Yield	7.22%	NA	NA

Yield	3.44%	NA	NA	NA
Effective Yield	3.50%	NA	NA	NA
Tax-Equivalent Yield	6.73%	NA	NA	NA

<R>

Since the Fund's Cash II Shares did not commence operation prior to October 31, 2000, there is no similar performance information.

</R>

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, EFFECTIVE YIELD AND TAX-EQUIVALENT YIELD

<R>

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 one to the base-period return, raising the sum to the 365/7th power; and subtracting one from the result. The tax-equivalent yield of Shares is calculated similarly to the yield, but is adjusted to reflect the taxable yield that Shares would have had to earn to equal the actual yield, assuming the maximum combined federal and state tax rate.

</R>

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.

TAX EQUIVALENCY TABLE

<R>

Set forth below is a sample of a tax-equivalency table that may be used in advertising and sales literature. This table is for illustrative purposes only and is not representative of past or future performance of the Fund. The interest earned by the municipal securities owned by the Fund generally remains free from federal regular income tax and is often free from state and local taxes as well. However, some of the Fund's income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and state and/or local taxes.

Investment Ratings

</R>

STANDARD & POOR'S SHORT-TERM MUNICIPAL OBLIGATION RATINGS

A Standard & Poor's (S&P) note rating reflects the liquidity concerns and market access risks unique to notes.

SP-1--Very strong or strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Those issues determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics will be given a plus sign (+) designation.

SP-2--Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest.

VARIABLE RATE DEMAND NOTES (VRDNS) AND TENDER OPTION BONDS (TOBS) RATINGS

S&P assigns dual ratings to all long-term debt issues that have as part of their provisions a variable rate demand feature. The first rating (long-term rating) addresses the likelihood of repayment of principal and interest when due, and the second rating (short-term rating) describes the demand characteristics. Several examples are AAA/A-1+, AA/A-1+, A/A-1. (The definitions for the long-term and the short-term ratings are provided below.)

COMMERCIAL PAPER (CP) RATINGS

An S&P commercial paper rating is a current assessment of the likelihood of timely payment of debt having an original maturity of no more than 365 days.

A-1--This highest category indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely payment is strong. Those issues determined to possess extremely strong safety characteristics are denoted with a plus sign (+) designation.

A-2--Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is satisfactory. However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for issues designated A-1.

LONG-TERM DEBT RATINGS

AAA--Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by S&P. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.

AA--Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal and differs from the highest-rated issues only in small degree.

A--Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher-rated categories.

MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, SHORT-TERM MUNICIPAL OBLIGATION RATINGS

<R>

Moody's Investor Service (Moody's) short-term ratings are designated Moody's Investment Grade (MIG or VMIG). (See below.) The purpose of the MIG or VMIG ratings is to provide investors with a simple system by which the relative investment qualities of short-term obligations may be evaluated.

</R>

MIG1--This designation denotes best quality. There is present strong protection by established cash flows, superior liquidity support or demonstrated broad based access to the market for refinancing.

MIG2--This designation denotes high quality. Margins of protection are ample although not so large as in the preceding group.

VARIABLE RATE DEMAND NOTES (VRDNS) AND TENDER OPTION BONDS (TOBS) RATINGS

Short-term ratings on issues with demand features are differentiated by the use of the VMIG symbol to reflect such characteristics as payment upon periodic demand rather than fixed maturity dates and payment relying on external liquidity. In this case, two ratings are usually assigned, (for example, Aaa/VMIG-1); the first representing an evaluation of the degree of risk associated with scheduled principal and interest payments, and the second representing an evaluation of the degree of risk associated with the demand feature. The VMIG rating can be assigned a 1 or 2 designation using the same definitions described above for the MIG rating.

COMMERCIAL PAPER (CP) RATINGS

P-1--Issuers rated Prime-1 (or related supporting institutions) have a superior capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. Prime-1 repayment capacity will normally be evidenced by the following characteristics: leading market positions in well established industries, high rates of return on funds employed, conservative capitalization structure with moderate reliance on debt and ample asset protection, broad margins in earning coverage of fixed financial charges and high internal cash generation, well-established access to a range of financial markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.

P-2--Issuers rated Prime-2 (or related supporting institutions) have a strong capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. This will normally be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above, but to a lesser degree. Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will be more subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

LONG-TERM DEBT RATINGS

Aaa--Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as "gilt edged." Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure. While the various protective elements are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.

Aa--Bonds which are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together with the Aaa group, they comprise what are generally known as high-grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities.

A--Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to be considered as upper-medium-grade obligations. Factors giving security to principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.

NR--Indicates that both the bonds and the obligor or credit enhancer are not currently rated by S&P or Moody's with respect to short-term indebtedness. However, management considers them to be of comparable quality to securities rated A-1 or P-1.

NR(1)--The underlying issuer/obligor/guarantor has other outstanding debt rated AAA by S&P or Aaa by Moody's.

NR(2)--The underlying issuer/obligor/guarantor has other outstanding debt rated AA by S&P or Aa by Moody's.

NR(3)--The underlying issuer/obligor/guarantor has other outstanding debt rated A by S&P or Moody's.

FITCH IBCA, INC. SHORT-TERM DEBT RATING DEFINITIONS

F-1+--Exceptionally Strong Credit Quality. Issues assigned this rating are regarded as having the strongest degree of assurance for timely payment.

F-1--Very Strong Credit Quality. Issues assigned this rating reflect an assurance for timely payment, only slightly less in degree than issues rated F-1+.

F-2--Good Credit Quality. Issues carrying this rating have a satisfactory degree of assurance for timely payment, but the margin of safety is not as great as for issues assigned F-1+ and F-1 ratings.
