ANNUAL REPORT

President's Message

Dear Shareholder:

I am pleased to present the Annual Report to Shareholders for Automated Cash Management Trust, a portfolio of Money Market Obligations Trust. This report covers the 12-month period from August 1, 1999 to July 31, 2000. It begins with an investment review on the short-term market by the fund's portfolio manager, followed by the fund's portfolio of investments and its financial statements.

In Automated Cash Management Trust, your ready cash is at work pursing daily income, along with a high level of liquidity and a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.1 At the end of the reporting period, the fund's $3.8 billion in net assets was invested in commercial paper (39.4%), variable rate instruments (22.4%), short-term notes (10.5%), certificates of deposit (9.9%), loan participation securities (8.1%), time deposits (6.8%) and repurchase agreements (2.6%).

Over the 12-month reporting period, dividends paid to shareholders of Institutional Service Shares and Cash II Shares totaled $0.054 per share and $0.052 per share, respectively.

Thank you for participating in the daily earning power of this high quality money market mutual fund. As always, we welcome your questions, comments or suggestions.

Sincerely,

J. Christopher Donahue

Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these funds.

Investment Review

Automated Cash Management Trust (the "Fund") invests in a portfolio of short-term, high-quality fixed income securities issued by banks, corporations and the U.S. government, which mature in 397 days or less. The average maturity of these securities, computed on a dollar weighted basis, is restricted to 90 days or less. Portfolio securities must be rated in the highest short-term rating category by one or more of the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations or if unrated, be of comparable quality to securities having such ratings. Typical security types include, but are not limited to: commercial paper, certificates of deposit, time deposits, variable rate instruments and repurchase agreements.

During the past year we have seen strong economic growth in the U.S. Thirty-year lows in the unemployment number, strong retail sales, increased home buying and strong productivity numbers led the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") to increase the federal funds target rate by 175 basis points. The Fed increased the interest rate in 25 basis point increments until May 2000, when it raised rates 50 basis points to 6.50%. During the past month we began to see signs of a moderate economic slowdown. Although we still think there is a risk of inflationary pressure, we think the Fed will remain on hold in the short term.

Thirty-day commercial paper started the reporting period at 5.11% on August 1, 1999, and then increased in anticipation of the federal funds target rate increases. Thirty-day commercial paper rates on July 31, 2000, were 6.55%.

The target average maturity range for the Fund remained at 40-50 days throughout the reporting period. In structuring the Fund, there was continued emphasis placed on positioning 30-35% of the Fund's assets in variable rate demand notes and accomplishing a modest barbell structure.

During the twelve months ended July 31, 2000, the net assets of the Fund increased from $2,321.9 to $3,781.8 million. The 7-day net yield for the Fund's Institutional Service Shares increased from 4.62% to 6.09%, while the 7-day net yield for the Cash II Shares increased from 4.45% to 5.92% during the reporting period.1 The effective average maturity of the Fund on July 31, 2000, was 49 days.

1 Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Yield will vary.

Notes to Financial Statements

JULY 31, 2000

ORGANIZATION

Money Market Obligations 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 Automated Cash Management Trust (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 Service Shares and Cash II Shares. The investment objective of the Fund is stability of principal and current income 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 Valuation

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

Repurchase Agreements

It is the policy of the Fund to require the custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or to have segregated within the custodian bank's vault, all securities held as collateral under repurchase agreement transactions. Additionally, procedures have been established by the Fund to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each repurchase agreement's collateral to ensure that the value of collateral at least equals the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement.

The Fund will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by the Fund's adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed or established by the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees"). Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Fund could receive less than the repurchase price on the sale of collateral securities. The Fund, along with other affiliated investment companies, may utilize a joint trading account for the purpose of entering into one or more repurchase agreements.

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 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. At July 31, 2000, capital paid-in aggregated $3,781,805,527.

Independent Auditors' Report

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF MONEY MARKET OBLIGATIONS TRUST AND SHAREHOLDERS OF AUTOMATED CASH MANAGEMENT TRUST:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Automated Cash Management Trust (the "Fund"), a portfolio of Money Market Obligations Trust, as of July 31, 2000, and the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. The statement of changes in net assets of the Fund for the year ended July 31, 1999, and the financial highlights for each of the four years then ended, were audited by other auditors whose report, dated September 24, 1999, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to provide 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 at July 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 our audit provides 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 Automated Cash Management Trust as of July 31, 2000, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for the respective stated periods in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ANNUAL REPORT

President's Message

Dear Shareholder:

I am pleased to present the Annual Report to Shareholders for Money Market Obligations Trust--Institutional Capital Shares. This report combines information for three money market mutual funds that are part of the Trust. This report covers the 12-month reporting period from August 1, 1999, through July 31, 2000. It begins with investment reviews by the funds' portfolio managers. Following the investment reviews are the funds' portfolios of investments and financial statements.

As money market funds, each of these funds gives you the opportunity to put your cash to work pursuing daily dividends while giving you the comfort of a high level of liquidity and a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.1 The following are fund-by-fund performance highlights:

Municipal Obligations Fund pursues tax-free income by investing in a portfolio of short-term securities issued by municipalities across the United States.2 During the 12-month reporting period, the fund paid tax-free dividends totaling $0.037 per share to shareholders of Institutional Capital Shares. At the end of the reporting period, the fund's net assets totaled $784.5 million.

Prime Cash Obligations Fund invests in a well-diversified portfolio of high quality money market securities. During the 12-month reporting period, dividends paid to shareholders of Institutional Capital Shares totaled $0.056 per share. At the end of the reporting period, the fund's net assets totaled $3.7 billion.

Prime Value Obligations Fund invests in a well-diversified portfolio of high quality money market securities. During the 12-month reporting period, dividends paid to shareholders of Institutional Capital Shares totaled $0.056 per share. At the end of the reporting period, the fund's net assets totaled $3.0 billion.

Thank you for selecting one or more of these funds as a convenient way to help your ready cash earn daily income. As always, we welcome your questions, comments or suggestions.

Sincerely,

J. Christopher Donahue

Investment Review

MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS FUND

Municipal Obligations Fund invests in high-quality, short-term, tax-exempt securities. Typical investments include, but are not limited to variable rate demand notes (VRDNs), commercial paper equivalents, fixed-rate notes and bonds. Over the 12-month reporting period, the net assets of the fund increased from $535.3 million to $784.5 million, while the seven-day net yield of the fund's Institutional Capital Shares increased from 3.10% to 4.18%.1 The average maturity of the fund on July 31, 2000, was 34 days.

During the 12-month reporting period ended July 31, 2000, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") increased interest rates three times, in February and March of 2000 by a quarter of a point each and in May by one half of one point. At the end of the reporting period, the federal funds target rate stood at 6.50%, its highest level since 1990. Over the past 13 months, the Fed has increased interest rates six times, moving the rate from 4.75% to 6.50%. The Fed has raised interest rates in an effort to slow the rapid pace of economic growth and prevent the emergence of late cycle inflationary pressures. At the end of the reporting period, the economy had finally begun to show signs of growth, slowing to sustainable rates led by slower consumer spending. Strong productivity growth has played an important role in raising non-inflationary potential growth rates and in containing costs. Despite strong growth early in the reporting period and in 1999, meaningful inflationary pressures have yet to appear. Risks for the economy over the near-term include imbalances between demand and potential supply at a time when the available pool of workers continues to dwindle. The unemployment rate at the end of the reporting period remained at 4.0%, a 30-year low.

Interest rates in the tax-exempt money markets over the reporting period were influenced by the Fed's actions as well as the market's expectations of future actions. Supply and demand (cash inflows/outflows) imbalances also played a large role in the absolute level of municipal interest rates, as demand was rather strong early in the year and in June and July. Record tax payments by individuals in April resulted in considerable redemptions in the municipal money markets, leaving the market with a "low demand" overhang into mid-May. Over the reporting period, the new supply of fixed-rate notes was low relative to demand as municipalities continued to benefit from a strong economy and record tax collections.

Yields on VRDNs, which comprise over 80% of the fund's net assets, started the reporting period at a low of 2.97%, but traded in a range between 3.5% and 4.0% until April. In April, rates moved up sharply to over 5.80% before falling in mid-May to 4.25%. From May through July, VRDN yields remained range bound between 3.5% and 4.50% as demand stabilized and supply became more plentiful.

Looking forward, the average maturity of the fund will continue to be managed in accordance with our expectations of a neutral Fed policy. We plan to be selective in our buying of fixed-rate notes and to slightly lengthen the average maturity of the fund to "lock-in" attractive fixed-rate note levels. We will continue to watch, with great interest, market developments in order to best serve our municipal clients.

PRIME CASH OBLIGATIONS FUND

Prime Cash Obligations Fund invests in money market instruments maturing in 397 days or less. The average maturity of these securities, computed on a dollar-weighted basis, is restricted to 90 days or less. Portfolio securities must be rated in the highest short-term rating category by one or more of the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations or be of comparable quality to securities having such ratings. Typical security types include, but are not limited to, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, time deposits, variable rate instruments and repurchase agreements.

During the 12-month reporting period ended July 31, 2000, we have seen strong economic growth in the United States. Thirty-year lows in the unemployment number, strong retail sales, increased home buying and strong productivity numbers led the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") to increase the federal funds target rate by 175 basis points. The Fed increased the interest rate in 25 basis point increments until May 2000, when it raised rates 50 basis points to 6.50%. During the past month we began to see signs of a moderate economic slowdown. Although we still think there is a risk of inflationary pressure, we think the Fed will remain on hold in the short term.

Thirty-day commercial paper started the reporting period at 5.11% on August 1, 1999, and then increased in anticipation of the federal funds target rate increases. Thirty-day commercial paper rates on July 31, 2000, were 6.55%.

The target average maturity range for the fund remained at 40-50 days throughout the entire time period. In structuring the fund, there is continued emphasis placed on positioning 30-35% of the fund's assets in variable rate demand notes and accomplishing a modest barbell structure.

During the 12-month reporting period ended July 31, 2000, the net assets of the fund increased from $3.1 billion to $3.7 billion, while the 7-day net yield increased from 4.84% to 6.39% for the fund's Institutional Capital Shares.1 The average maturity of the fund on July 31, 2000, was 51 days.

PRIME VALUE OBLIGATIONS FUND

Prime Value Obligations Fund invests in money market instruments maturing in 397 days or less. The average maturity of these securities, computed on a dollar-weighted basis, is restricted to 90 days or less. Portfolio securities must be rated in one of the two highest short-term rating categories by one or more of the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations or be of comparable quality to securities having such ratings. Typical security types include, but are not limited to: commercial paper, certificates of deposit, time deposits, variable rate instruments and repurchase agreements.

During the 12-month reporting period ended July 31, 2000, we have seen strong economic growth in the U.S. Thirty-year lows in the unemployment number, strong retail sales, increased home buying and strong productivity numbers led the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") to increase the federal funds target rate by 175 basis points. The Fed increased the interest rate in 25 basis point increments until May 2000, when it raised rates 50 basis points to 6.50%. During the past month we began to see signs of a moderate economic slowdown. Although we still think there is a risk of inflationary pressure, we think the Fed will remain on hold in the short term.

Thirty-day commercial paper started the reporting period at 5.11% on August 1, 1999, and then increased in anticipation of the federal funds target rate increases. Thirty-day commercial paper rates on July 31, 2000, were 6.55%.

The target average maturity range for the fund remained at 40-50 days throughout the entire time period. In structuring the fund, there is continued emphasis placed on positioning 30-35% of the fund's assets in variable rate demand notes and accomplishing a modest barbell structure.

During the 12-month reporting period ended July 31, 2000, the net assets of the fund increased from $2.1 billion to $3.0 billion, while the 7-day net yield increased from 4.87% to 6.42% for the fund's Institutional Capital Shares.1 The average maturity of the fund on July 31, 2000, was 54 days.

Securities that are subject to alternative minimum tax represent 87.2% of the portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value.

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, Inc., 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 July 31, 2000, the portfolio securities were as follows:

Tier Rating Based on Total Market Value (Unaudited)

First Tier

  

Second Tier

97.8%

 

2.2%

2 Denotes a restricted security which is subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. These securities have been deemed liquid based upon criteria approved by the fund's Board of Trustees. At July 31, 2000, these securities amounted to $23,750,000, which represents 3.0% of net assets.

3 Also represents cost for federal tax purposes.

Note: The categories of investments are shown as a percentage of net assets ($784,475,782) at July 31, 2000.

Notes to Financial Statements

JULY 31, 2000

ORGANIZATION

Money Market Obligations 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 consist of 40 portfolios. The financial statements of the following portfolios (individually referred to as the "Fund" or collectively as the "Funds") are presented herein:

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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Investment Valuation

The Funds use the amortized cost method to value their portfolio securities in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.

Repurchase Agreements

It is the policy of the Funds to require the custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or to have segregated within the custodian bank's vault, all securities held as collateral under repurchase agreement transactions. Additionally, procedures have been established by the Funds to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each repurchase agreement's collateral to ensure that the value of collateral at least equals the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement.

The Funds will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by the Funds' adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed or established by the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees"). Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Funds could receive less than the repurchase price on the sale of collateral securities. The Funds, along with other affiliated investment companies, may utilize a joint trading account for the purpose of entering into one or more repurchase agreements.

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 Funds offer multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Funds 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; difference in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.

Federal Taxes

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

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain 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 Trustees. The Funds 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.

The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. 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 Funds 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 Funds will pay FSSC up to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Funds 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.

For the year ended July 31, 2000, Institutional Shares for the Municipal Obligations Fund, Prime Cash Obligations Fund and Prime Value Obligations Fund did not incur a shareholder services fee. The Institutional Shares of these funds have no present intention of accruing a shareholder services fee in the year ending July 31, 2001.

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

FServ, through its subsidiary FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Funds. 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 Funds' accounting records for which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of each of the Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.

General

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

CHANGE OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

On May 19, 1999, the Funds' Trustees, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Trustees, requested and subsequently accepted the resignation of Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") as the independent auditors for the Municipal Obligations Fund, the Prime Cash Obligations Fund and the Prime Value Obligations Fund. E&Y's reports on the Funds' financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 1999 and the period ended July 31, 1999 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Funds' fiscal year ended January 31, 1999 and the period ended July 31, 1999, (i) there were no disagreements with E&Y on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such year and period; and (ii) there were no reportable events of the kind described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended.

The Funds, by action of their Trustees, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Trustees, engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP ("D&T") as the independent auditors to audit the financial statements of the Municipal Obligations Fund, the Prime Cash Obligations Fund and the Prime Value Obligations Fund for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2000. During the Funds' fiscal year ended January 31, 1999 and the period ended July 31, 1999, neither the Funds nor anyone on their behalf have consulted D&T on items which (i) concerned the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Funds' financial statements; or (ii) concerned the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K) of reportable events (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of said Item 304).

Independent Auditors' Report

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

Municipal Obligations Fund
Prime Cash Obligations Fund
Prime Value Obligations Fund

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Municipal Obligations Fund, Prime Cash Obligations Fund, and Prime Value Obligations Fund (the "Funds"), as of July 31, 2000, and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended July 31, 1999, and the financial highlights for each of the periods in the four years then ended were audited by other auditors whose reports, dated September 29, 1999, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to provide 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 at July 31, 2000, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, 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 our audit provides 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 Municipal Obligations Fund, Prime Cash Obligations Fund, and Prime Value Obligations Fund as of July 31, 2000, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the respective stated periods in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ANNUAL REPORT

President's Message

Dear Shareholder:

I am pleased to present the Annual Report for Money Market Obligations Trust--Institutional Shares and Institutional Service Shares. This report combines the information for six money market mutual funds that are part of the trust. The report covers the funds' fiscal year, which is the 12-month reporting period ended July 31, 2000. It begins with investment reviews by the funds' portfolio manager on each fund's market. Following the investment reviews are the funds' portfolios of investments and financial statements.

As money market funds, each of these funds gives you the opportunity to put your cash to work pursuing daily dividends while giving you the comfort of a high level of liquidity and a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.1 The following are fund-by-fund performance highlights:

Government Obligations Fund invests in short-term U.S. government obligations and repurchase agreements fully collateralized by U.S. government securities. During the 12-month reporting period, the fund paid dividends totaling $0.057 for Institutional Shares and $0.054 for Institutional Service Shares. At the end of the reporting period, the fund's net assets totaled $7.1 billion.

Government Obligations Tax-Managed Fund invests in U.S. government securities. The fund's portfolio is managed so that dividends are exempt from state and local income taxes.2 During the 12-month reporting period, the fund paid dividends totaling $0.056 for Institutional Shares and $0.054 for Institutional Service Shares. At the end of the reporting period, the fund's net assets totaled $3.2 billion.

Municipal Obligations Fund pursues tax-free income by investing in a portfolio of short-term securities issued by municipalities across the United States.2 During the 12-month reporting period, the fund paid dividends totaling $0.038 for Institutional Shares and $0.036 for Institutional Service Shares. At the end of the reporting period, the fund's net assets totaled $784.5 million.

Prime Cash Obligations Fund invests in a well-diversified portfolio of high-quality money market securities. During the 12-month reporting period, the fund paid dividends totaling $0.058 for Institutional Shares and $0.055 for Institutional Service Shares. At the end of the reporting period, the fund's net assets totaled $3.7 billion.

1 An investment in money market funds is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these funds.

2 Income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and state and local taxes. Unless otherwise exempt, shareholders are required to pay federal income tax on dividends.

Prime Value Obligations Fund invests in a well-diversified portfolio of high-quality money market securities. During the 12-month reporting period, the fund paid dividends totaling $0.058 for Institutional Shares and $0.055 for Institutional Service Shares. At the end of the reporting period, the fund's net assets totaled $3.0 billion.

Tax-Free Obligations Fund pursues tax-free income by investing in a portfolio of short-term securities issued by municipalities across the United States.2 During the 12-month reporting period, the fund paid dividends totaling $0.036 for Institutional Shares and $0.034 for Institutional Service Shares. At the end of the reporting period, the fund's net assets totaled $3.6 billion.

Thank you for selecting one or more of these funds as a convenient way to help your ready cash earn daily income. As always, we welcome your questions, comments or suggestions.

Sincerely,

J. Christopher Donahue

Investment Review

GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS FUND

Government Obligations Fund is rated AAAm1 by Standard & Poor's (S&P), Aaa1 by Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), and AAA1 by Fitch. The fund may invest in direct U.S. Treasury obligations, agency obligations, such as issues of the Federal National Mortgage Association, Student Loan Marketing Association, Federal Farm Credit Bank System, Federal Home Loan Bank System, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, and in repurchase agreements that have these securities as collateral.

In response to the continuing robust economic growth in the United States, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") tightened monetary policy three times during this 12-month reporting period ended July 31, 2000. Following both the February and March Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings, the Fed raised rates by 25 basis points. This brought the federal funds target rate to 6.0% on March 21, 2000. Despite the rate increases, however, economic growth continued to be strong into the second quarter of the year. In fact, there were signs that inflationary pressures were building. The Fed then reacted more aggressively to the economic indicators and raised the federal funds target rate by 50 basis points following the May 16, 2000 FOMC meeting. Following this rate increase, the Fed seemed content to let the effects of the prior rate hikes filter through the economy. The FOMC left rates unchanged following its June 28, 2000 meeting and the federal funds target rate ended the reporting period at 6.5%.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in recent quarters is a good example of the economic activity that confronted the Fed. Following exceptional growth of 5.7% and 7.3% in the third and fourth quarters of 1999, GDP growth in the first quarter of 2000 was 5.4% and preliminary second quarter GDP was measured at 5.2%. The second quarter number was much stronger than expected and resulted in an extraordinary 6.0% year-over-year growth rate. Labor markets remained tight during the reporting period as well. Year-to-date ending July 31, 2000, non-farm payrolls (ex-census workers) increased by an average of 182,000, while the unemployment rate hovered between 4.0% and 4.1%, and average hourly earnings showed year-over-year growth of 3.7%. Inflation measures kept the lid on interest rate hikes and there were unprecedented increases in productivity growth. Energy prices had a roller coaster ride during the reporting period and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) followed its lead, rising as much as 0.7% in March and remaining flat in April. The Core CPI measure, excluding the food and energy sectors, was more steady and remained benign. Productivity gains were the real story, particularly in the second quarter. A lower than expected increase in hours worked, coupled with the jump in output, translated into a 5.3% gain in productivity and a 0.1% decline in unit labor costs. Unit labor costs were down 0.4% year-over-year, the first annual decline since 1984.

1 An AAAm rating is obtained after S&P evaluates a number of factors, including credit quality, market price exposure, and management. S&P monitors the portfolio weekly for developments that could cause changes in the ratings. Money market funds and bond funds rated Aaa by Moody's are judged to be of an investment quality similar to Aaa-rated fixed income obligations; that is, they are judged to be of the best quality. Fitch's money market fund ratings are an assessment of the safety of invested principal ad the ability to maintain a stable market value of the fund's shares. Ratings are based on an evaluation of several factors, including credit quality, diversification, and maturity of assets in the portfolio, as well as managed strength and operational capabilities. Ratings are subject to change and do not remove interest rate risk.

Movements in short-term rates through the reporting period reflected domestic economic activity and resulting Fed expectations. Already building in expectations of Fed rate hikes, the yield on a one-year agency discount note began the reporting period yielding 6.51%, up from 6.08% at the beginning of 2000. The yield on the security drifted up to the 6.60% level and traded around that level throughout April. Then, as the market began to anticipate a more aggressive Fed, yields increased substantially in May and peaked at 7.26% on June 2, 2000. Signs of a moderating economy and a steady Fed caused yields to decline and remain stable between 6.80% and 6.90% through June and July.

The fund was managed within a 35- to 45-day average maturity target range during the reporting period. We moved within that range according to relative value opportunities, comparing yields among investment alternatives for the fund. The fund remained barbelled in structure throughout the reporting period, combining a significant position in repurchase agreements and floating rate securities with holdings of longer-term securities. Treasury securities continued to be well bid by investors. Thus, purchases for the fund were concentrated in the agency sector.

We will continue to monitor economic and market developments for signs that the recent interest rate increases have taken hold and for indications of what the next Fed action may be. We will attempt to derive an appropriate average maturity target range for the fund and to maximize performance through ongoing relative value analysis.

GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS TAX-MANAGED FUND

Government Obligations Tax-Managed Fund, which is rated AAAm2 by Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Aaa2 by Moody's Investors Service, (Moody's) invests only in U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government agency obligations. The fund invests in issues of the Student Loan Marketing Association, the Federal Farm Credit Bank System, the Federal Home Loan Bank System and the Tennessee Valley Authority. The fund may maintain a small Treasury security position for liquidity purposes, does not invest in repurchase agreements, and is managed to provide distributions that may be exempt from state and local taxes.

In response to the continuing robust economic growth in the United States, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") tightened monetary policy three times during the 12-month reporting period ended July 31, 2000. Following both the February and March Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings, the Fed raised rates by 25 basis points. This brought the federal funds target rate to 6.0% on March 21, 2000.

The Fed then reacted more aggressively to the economic indicators and raised the federal funds target rate by 50 basis points following the May 16, 2000 FOMC meeting. Following this rate increase, growth appeared to slow, equity market gains moderated, and the Fed seemed content to let the effects of the prior rate hikes filter through the economy. The FOMC left rates unchanged following its June 28, 2000 meeting and the federal funds target rate ended the reporting period at 6.5%.

The second quarter number was much stronger than expected and resulted in an extraordinary 6% year-over-year growth rate. Labor markets remained tight during the reporting period as well. Year-to-date ending July 31, 2000, non-farm payrolls (ex-census workers) increased by an average of 182,000, the unemployment rate hovered between 4.0% and 4.1%, and average hourly earnings showed year-over-year growth of 3.7%.

We moved within that range according to relative value opportunities, comparing yields among investment alternatives for the fund. The fund remained barbelled in structure throughout the reporting period, combining short-term agency and floating rate securities with holdings of longer-term securities. For example, at period-end, 25% of the fund was invested in floating rate paper.

We will continue to monitor economic and market developments for signs that the recent interest rate increases have taken hold and for indications of what the next Fed action may be. We will attempt to derive an appropriate average maturity target range for the fund and to maximize performance through ongoing relative value analysis.

MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS FUND

Municipal Obligations Fund invests in high-quality, short-term, tax-exempt securities. Typical investments include, but are not limited to, variable rate demand notes, commercial paper equivalents, fixed-rate notes and bonds. Over the 12-month reporting period, the net assets of the fund increased from $535.3 million to $784.5 million, while the seven-day net yield increased from 3.22% to 4.30%3 for Institutional Shares and 2.97% to 4.05%3 for Institutional Service Shares. The average maturity of the fund as of July 31, 2000, was 34 days.

Over the 12-month reporting period, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") increased interest rates three times, in February and March of 2000 by a quarter of a point each and in May by one half of one point. At the end of the reporting period, the federal funds target rate stood at 6.50%, its highest level since 1990. Over the past 13 months, the Fed has increased interest rates six times, moving the rate from 4.75% to 6.50%. The Fed has raised interest rates in an effort to slow the rapid pace of economic growth and prevent the emergence of late cycle inflationary pressures. At the end of the reporting period, the economy had finally begun to show signs of growth slowing to sustainable rates led by slower consumer spending. Strong productivity growth has played an important role in raising non-inflationary potential growth rates and in containing costs. Despite strong growth early in the reporting period and in 1999, meaningful inflationary pressures have yet to appear. Risks for the economy over the near-term include imbalances between demand and potential supply at a time when the available pool of workers continues to dwindle. The unemployment rate at the end of the reporting period remained at 4.0%, a 30-year low.

Interest rates in the tax-exempt money markets over the reporting period were influenced by the Fed's actions as well as the market's expectations of future actions. Supply and demand (cash inflows/outflows) imbalances also played a large role in the absolute level of municipal interest rates, as demand was rather strong early in the year and in June and July. Record tax payments by individuals in April resulted in considerable redemptions in the municipal money markets, leaving the market with a "low demand" overhang into mid-May. Over the reporting period, new supply of fixed-rate notes was low relative to demand as municipalities continued to benefit from a strong economy and record tax collections.

Yields on variable rate demand notes (VRDNs), which comprise over 80% of the fund's net assets, started the reporting period at a low of 2.97%, but traded in a range between 3.5% and 4.0% until April. In April, rates moved up sharply to over 5.80% before falling in mid-May to 4.25%. From May though July, VRDN range yields remained between 3.5% and 4.5% as demand stabilized and supply became more plentiful.

Going forward, the average maturity of the fund will continue to be managed in accordance with our expectations of neutral Fed policy. We plan to be selective in our buying of fixed-rate notes and slightly lengthen the average maturity of the fund to "lock-in" attractive fixed-rate note levels. We will continue to watch, with great interest, market developments in order to best serve our municipal clients.

PRIME CASH OBLIGATIONS FUND

Prime Cash Obligations Fund invests in money market instruments maturing in 13 months or less. The average maturity of these securities, computed on a dollar-weighted basis, is restricted to 90 days or less. Portfolio securities must be rated in the highest short-term rating category by one or more of the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations or be of comparable quality to securities having such ratings. Typical security types include, but are not limited to, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, time deposits, variable rate instruments and repurchase agreements.

During the past year, we have seen strong economic growth in the United States. Thirty-year lows in the unemployment number, strong retail sales, increased home buying and strong productivity numbers led the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") to increase the federal funds target rate by 175 basis points. The Fed increased the interest rate in 25 basis point increments until May 2000, when it raised rates 50 basis points to 6.50%. During the past month, we began to see signs of a moderate economic slowdown. Although we still think there is a risk of inflationary pressure, we think the Fed will remain on hold in the short term.

Thirty-day commercial paper started the reporting period at 5.11% on August 1, 1999, and then increased in anticipation of the federal funds target rate increases. Thirty-day commercial paper rates on July 31, 2000, were 6.55%.

The target average maturity range for the fund remained at 40-50 days throughout the entire time period. In structuring the fund, there is continued emphasis placed on positioning 30-35% of the fund's assets in variable rate demand notes and accomplishing a modest barbell structure.

During the 12-month reporting period ended July 31, 2000, the net assets of the fund increased from $3.1 billion to $3.7 billion, while the seven-day net yield increased from 4.96% to 6.51%3 for Institutional Shares and 4.71% to 6.26%3 for Institutional Service Shares. The average maturity of the fund on July 31, 2000, was 51 days.

PRIME VALUE OBLIGATIONS FUND

Prime Value Obligations Fund invests in money market instruments maturing in 13 months or less. The average maturity of these securities, computed on a dollar-weighted basis, is restricted to 90 days or less. Portfolio securities must be rated in one of the two highest short-term rating categories by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations or be of comparable quality to securities having such ratings. Typical security types include, but are not limited to: commercial paper, certificates of deposit, time deposits, variable rate instruments and repurchase agreements.

During the past year, we have seen strong economic growth in the United States. Thirty-year lows in the unemployment number, strong retail sales, increased home buying and strong productivity numbers led the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") to increase the federal funds target rate by 175 basis points. The Fed increased the interest rate in 25 basis point increments until May 2000, when it raised rates 50 basis points to 6.50%. During the past month, we began to see signs of a moderate economic slowdown. Although we still think there is a risk of inflationary pressure, we think the Fed will remain on hold in the short term.

Thirty-day commercial paper started the reporting period at 5.11% on August 1, 1999, and then increased in anticipation of the federal funds target rate increases. Thirty-day commercial paper rates on July 31, 2000, were 6.55%.

The target average maturity range for the fund remained at 40-50 days throughout the entire reporting period. In structuring the fund, there is continued emphasis placed on positioning 30-35% of the fund's assets in variable rate demand notes and accomplishing a modest barbell structure.

During the 12-month reporting period ended July 31, 2000, the net assets of the fund increased from $2.1 billion to $3.0 billion, while the seven-day net yield increased from 4.99% to 6.54%3 for Institutional Shares and 4.74% to 6.29%3 for Institutional Service Shares. The average maturity of the fund as of July 31, 2000, was 54 days.

TAX-FREE OBLIGATIONS FUND

Tax-Free Obligations Fund invests in high-quality, short-term tax-exempt securities. Typical investments include, but are not limited to, variable rate demand notes, commercial paper equivalents, and fixed-rate notes and bonds. Over the 12-month reporting period, the net assets of the fund increased from $3.5 billion to $3.6 billion, while the seven-day net yield increased from 3.00% to 4.09%3 for Institutional Shares and 2.75% to 3.84%3 for Institutional Service Shares. The average maturity of the fund on July 31, 2000, was 43 days.

3 Past performance does not guarantee of future results. Yield will vary. Yields quoted for money market funds most closely reflect the fund's current earnings.

Over the 12-month reporting period, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") increased interest rates by 1.5% on five separate occasions. At the end of the reporting period, the federal funds target rate stood at 6.50%, its highest level since 1990. The Fed has raised interest rates in an effort to slow the rapid pace of economic growth and prevent the emergence of late cycle inflationary pressures. At the end of the reporting period, the economy had finally begun to show signs of growth slowing to sustainable rates led by slower consumer spending. Strong productivity growth has played an important role in raising non-inflationary potential growth rates and in containing costs. Despite strong growth early in the reporting period and in 1999, meaningful inflationary pressures have yet to appear. Risks for the economy over the near-term include imbalances between demand and potential supply at a time when the available pool of workers continues to dwindle. The unemployment rate at the end of the reporting period remained at 4.0%, a 30 year low.

Interest rates in the tax-exempt money markets over the reporting period were influenced by the Fed's actions as well as the market's expectations of future actions. Supply and demand (cash inflows/outflows) imbalances also played a large role in the absolute level of municipal interest rates, as demand was rather strong early in the year and in June and July. Record tax payments by individuals in April resulted in considerable redemptions in the municipal money markets leaving the market with a "low demand" overhang into mid-May. Over the reporting period, new supply of fixed-rate notes was low relative to demand as municipalities continued to benefit from a strong economy and record tax collections.

Yields on variable rate demand notes (VRDNs), which comprise 77% of the fund's net assets, started the reporting period at 2.96%, but drifted slowly upward until December, trading in a range between 3.50% and 4.00%. In late December, yields spiked higher to over 5.50%, reflecting the reluctance of dealers to position these instruments over year-end. Strong demand in January brought yields down to 3.00%. From January to April, rates again traded in a range between 3.50%-4.00%. In April, rates moved up sharply to over 5.80% before falling in mid-May to 4.25%. From May through July, VRDN yields remained range bound between 3.50% and 4.50% as demand stabilized and supply became more plentiful.

Going forward, the average maturity of the fund will continue to be managed in accordance with our expectations of a neutral monetary policy. We plan to be selective in our buying of fixed rate notes and to slightly lengthen the average maturities on the fund as we take advantage of the summer cash flow notes. We continue to watch, with great interest, market developments in order to best serve our municipal clients.

Securities that are subject to alternative minimum tax represent 87.2% of the portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value.

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 July 31, 2000, the portfolio securities were as follows:

Tier Rating Based on Total Market Value (Unaudited)

First Tier

  

Second Tier

97.8%

 

2.2%

2 Denotes a restricted security which is subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. These securities have been deemed liquid based upon criteria approved by the fund's Board of Trustees. At July 31, 2000, these securities amounted to $23,750,000 which represents 3.0% of net assets.

3 Also represents cost for federal tax purposes.

Note: The categories of investments are shown as a percentage of net assets ($784,475,782) at July 31, 2000.

1 The fund invests in securities rated in the highest short-term rating category by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations ("NRSROs") or unrated securities of comparable quality. An NRSRO's highest rating category is determined without regard for sub-categories and gradations. For example, securities rated SP-1+ or SP-1 by Standard & Poor's, MIG-1 or VMIG-1 by Moody's Investors Service, or F-1+ or F-1 by Fitch IBCA, Inc. are all considered rated in the highest short-term rating category. Securities rated in the highest short-term rating category (and unrated securities of comparable quality) are identified as First Tier securities. The fund follows applicable regulations in determining whether a security rated by multiple NRSROs in different rating categories should be identified as a First Tier security. At July 31, 2000, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Tier Rating Based on Total Market Value (Unaudited)

First Tier

  

Second Tier

100.0%

 

0%

3 Also represents cost for federal tax purposes.

Note: The categories of investments are shown as a percentage of net assets ($3,555,951,923) at July 31, 2000.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Investment Valuation

The Funds use the amortized cost method to value their portfolio securities in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.

Repurchase Agreements

It is the policy of the Funds to require the custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or to have segregated within the custodian bank's vault, all securities held as collateral under repurchase agreement transactions. Additionally, procedures have been established by the Funds to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each repurchase agreement's collateral to ensure that the value of collateral at least equals the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement.

The Funds will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by the Funds' adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed or established by the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees"). Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Funds could receive less than the repurchase price on the sale of collateral securities. The Funds, along with other affiliated investment companies, may utilize a joint trading account for the purpose of entering into one or more repurchase agreements.

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 Funds offer multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Funds 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; difference in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.

Federal Taxes

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

At July 31, 2000, the Tax-Free Obligations Fund for federal tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $797, which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire in 2007.

Additionally, net capital losses of $8,620 attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 1999 are treated as arising on the first day of the next taxable year.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain 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 Trustees. The Funds 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.

CHANGE OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

On May 19, 1999, the Trustees, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Trustees, requested and subsequently accepted the resignation of Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") as the independent auditors for the Municipal Obligations Fund, the Prime Cash Obligations Fund and the Prime Value Obligations Fund. E&Y's reports on the Funds' financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 1999 and the period ended July 31, 1999 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Funds' fiscal year ended January 31, 1999 and the period ended July 31, 1999, (i) there were no disagreements with E&Y on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such year and period; and (ii) there were no reportable events of the kind described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended.

The Funds, by action of their Trustees, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Trustees, engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP ("D&T") as the independent auditors to audit the financial statements of the Municipal Obligations Fund, the Prime Cash Obligations Fund and the Prime Value Obligations Fund for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2000. During the Funds' fiscal year ended January 31, 1999 and the period ended July 31, 1999, neither the Funds nor anyone on their behalf have consulted D&T on items which (i) concerned the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Funds' financial statements; or (ii) concerned the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K) of reportable events (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of said Item 304).

Independent Auditors' Report

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

Government Obligations Fund
Government Obligations Tax-Managed Fund
Municipal Obligations Fund
Prime Cash Obligations Fund
Prime Value Obligations Fund
Tax-Free Obligations Fund

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Government Obligations Fund, Government Obligations Tax-Managed Fund, Municipal Obligations Fund, Prime Cash Obligations Fund, Prime Value Obligations Fund and Tax-Free Obligations Fund (the "Funds"), as of July 31, 2000, and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended July 31, 1999, and the financial highlights for each of the periods in the four years then ended were audited by other auditors whose reports, dated September 29, 1999, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to provide 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 at July 31, 2000, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, 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 our audit provides 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 Government Obligations Fund, Government Obligations Tax-Managed Fund, Municipal Obligations Fund, Prime Cash Obligations Fund, Prime Value Obligations Fund and Tax-Free Obligations Fund as of July 31, 2000, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the respective stated periods in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ANNUAL REPORT

President's Message

Dear Shareholder:

I am pleased to present the Annual Report to Shareholders for Prime Obligations Fund (the "fund"), a portfolio of Money Market Obligations Trust, which covers the 12-month reporting period from August 1, 1999, through July 31, 2000. The report begins with an investment review of the short-term market from the fund's portfolio manager. Following the investment review are the fund's portfolio of investments and its financial statements.

In the fund, your ready cash is at work pursuing daily income along with the additional advantages of daily liquidity and stability of principal.1 At the end of the reporting period, the fund's $10.9 billion portfolio was invested across a wide range of high-quality, short-term money market securities, including commercial paper (35.3%), variable rate instruments (30.3%), certificates of deposit (10.5%), short-term notes (10.0%), time deposits (6.7%), repurchase agreements (3.8%) and loan participation notes (3.0%).

Over the 12-month reporting period, dividends paid to shareholders totaled $0.057 for Institutional Shares and $0.055 for Institutional Service Shares. The 30-day net yields on the last day of the reporting period for Institutional Shares and Institutional Service Shares were 6.46% and 6.21%, respectively.2

Thank you for your confidence in the daily earning power of Prime Obligations Fund. Your questions and comments are always welcome.

Sincerely,

J. Christopher Donahue

J. Christopher Donahue
President

2 Performance quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Yields will vary. Yields quoted for money market funds most closely reflect the fund's current earnings.

Investment Review

Prime Obligations Fund invests in money market instruments which mature in 397 days or less. The average maturity of these securities, computed on a dollar-weighted basis, is restricted to 90 days or less. Portfolio securities must be rated in the highest short-term rating category by one or more of the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations or be of comparable quality to securities having such ratings. Typical security types include, but are not limited to: commercial paper, certificates of deposit, time deposits, variable rate instruments and repurchase agreements.

During the past year we have seen strong economic growth in the United States. Thirty-year lows in the unemployment number, strong retail sales, increased home buying and strong productivity numbers led the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") to increase the federal funds target rate by 175 basis points. The Fed increased the interest rate in 25 basis point increments until May 2000, when it raised rates 50 basis points to 6.50%. During the past month, we began to see signs of a moderate economic slowdown. Although we still think there is a risk of inflationary pressure, we think the Fed will remain on hold in the short term.

Thirty-day commercial paper started the reporting period at 5.11% on August 1, 1999, and then increased in anticipation of the federal funds target rate increases. Thirty-day commercial paper rates on July 31, 2000, were 6.55%.

The target average maturity range for the fund remained at 40-50 days throughout the entire time period. In structuring the fund, there is continued emphasis placed on positioning 30-35% of the fund's assets in variable rate demand notes and accomplishing a modest barbell structure.

During the 12 months ended July 31, 2000, the net assets of the fund increased from $9,401.0 million to $10,873.3 million, while the 7-day net yield increased from 5.01% to 6.48% for Institutional Shares and from 4.76% to 6.23% for Institutional Service Shares.1 The effective average maturity of the fund on July 31, 2000, was 50 days.

1 Performance quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Yields will vary. Yields quoted for money market funds most closely reflect the fund's current earnings.

Notes to Financial Statements

JULY 31, 2000

ORGANIZATION

Money Market Obligations 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 Prime Obligations Fund (the "Fund"), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income consistent with stability of principal.

The Fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and Institutional Service Shares.

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 Valuation

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

Repurchase Agreements

It is the policy of the Fund to require the custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or to have segregated within the custodian bank's vault, all securities held as collateral under repurchase agreement transactions. Additionally, procedures have been established by the Fund to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each repurchase agreement's collateral to ensure that the value of collateral at least equals the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement.

The Fund will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by the Fund's adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed or established by the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees"). Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Fund could receive less than the repurchase price on the sale of collateral securities. The Fund, along with other affiliated investment companies, may utilize a joint trading account for the purpose of entering into one or more repurchase agreements.

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.

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.

Independent Auditors' Report

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF MONEY MARKET OBLIGATIONS TRUST AND
SHAREHOLDERS OF PRIME OBLIGATIONS FUND:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments of Prime Obligations Fund (the "Fund"), a portfolio of Money Market Obligations Trust, as of July 31, 2000, and the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended July 31, 1999, and the financial highlights for each of the periods in the four years then ended were audited by other auditors, whose report, dated September 29, 1999, expressed an unqualified opinion on these statements.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to provide 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 at July 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 our audit provides 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 Prime Obligations Fund as of July 31, 2000, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for the respective stated periods in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ANNUAL REPORT

President's Message

Dear Shareholder:

I am pleased to present the Annual Report to Shareholders for Treasury Obligations Fund (the "fund"), a portfolio of Money Market Obligations Trust, which covers the 12-month reporting period from August 1, 1999 through July 31, 2000. The report begins with an investment review on the short-term treasury market from the fund's portfolio manager. Following the investment review are the fund's portfolio of investments and its financial statements.

In the fund your ready cash is at work pursuing daily income--along with the additional advantages of daily liquidity and stability of principal1-- by investing exclusively in short-term U.S treasury obligations and in repurchase agreements collateralized by these obligations. At the end of the reporting period, the fund's net assets totaled $10.1 billion.

Over the 12-month reporting period, the fund paid dividends totaling $0.054 per share to shareholders of Institutional Shares, $0.052 per share to shareholders of Institutional Service Shares and $0.053 per share to shareholders of Institutional Capital Shares. The 30-day net yields on the last day of the reporting period for Institutional Shares, Institutional Service Shares and Institutional Capital Shares were 6.24%, 5.99% and 6.14%, respectively.2

Thank you for your confidence in the daily earning power of Treasury Obligations Fund. Your questions and comments are always welcome.

Sincerely,

J. Christopher Donahue

Investment Review

Treasury Obligations Fund, which is rated AAAm1 by Standard & Poor's and Aaa1 by Moody's, is invested in direct obligations of the U.S. treasury either in the form of notes and bills or as collateral for repurchase agreements.

The Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") tightened monetary policy five times over the course of the fiscal year ended July 31, 2000, raising the federal funds target rate from 5% to its current 6.5% level. Combined with the initial 25 basis point tightening step taken at the end of June 1999, by November 1999, the Fed had reversed the liquidity that it had needed to infuse into the market during the global economic crisis in late 1998. After taking a break to minimize disruptions around the time of the century date change, the Fed resumed its tightening path in early 2000 as economic growth continued to be robust. After voting to restrict monetary policy further at three consecutive Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings in February, March, and May, the Fed left interest rates unchanged at its meeting in late June as signs that economic growth might be slowing had begun to surface.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew at 5.7% and 8.3% in the third and fourth quarters of last year, and 4.8% and 5.3% in the first two quarters of 2000. This phenomenal growth was driven by formidable consumer demand. Although remarkable gains in productivity have raised expectations of a non-inflationary potential rate of growth to close to 4%, this stronger pace of actual economic activity made the Fed and the markets uncomfortable. Retail sales grew over 8% over the reporting period, and non-farm payrolls added an average of about 220,000 jobs per month over the same time frame. Driven higher by rising energy costs, the Producer Price Index and Consumer Price Index increased by 4.1% and 3.5% over the reporting period. Inflation remained relatively well-behaved on a core basis, however, as these measures rose by a more benign 1.5% and 2.4%, respectively.

Short-term interest rates reflected--and largely anticipated--the actions from the Fed over the reporting period. The yield on the three-month treasury bill, for instance, began the reporting period at 4.8% and ended close to 140 basis points higher by the end of July at 6.2%. Although these movements reflected economic fundamentals, the bill sector also remained heavily influenced by technical factors. In particular, changing supply as a result of the bountiful projected surpluses in the federal budget and investor interest in this sector as a refuge from the equity markets played major roles in yield movements as well, keeping this area of the curve well-bid.

We maintained a 40- to 50-day average maturity target range for the fund through the end of 1999, then moved to a 35- to 45-day target range in January, as expectations of additional Fed tightenings grew. We continued to pursue a barbelled structure for the fund, combining a significant position in repurchase agreements--primarily on an overnight basis--with purchases of treasury securities in the 6 to 13 month area. As has been the case for some time, due to the technical influences in the treasury bill market that have kept this sector of the curve quite expensive, we concentrated our direct purchases of treasury securities in treasury notes that met our maturity guidelines.

Going forward, our expectations are for the Fed to hold monetary policy steady--while keeping an eye out for inflationary pressure--until the effect on the economy of the actions taken to date are more fully understood.

1 An AAAm rating is obtained after S&P evaluates a number of factors, including credit quality, market price exposure and management. S&P monitors the portfolio weekly for developments that could cause changes in the ratings. Money market funds and bond funds rated Aaa by Moody's are judged to be an investment quality similar to Aaa-rated fixed obligations, that is, they are judged to be of the best quality. Ratings are subject to change, and do not remove market risks.

Notes to Financial Statements

JULY 31, 2000

ORGANIZATION

Money Market Obligations 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 consist of 40 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Treasury Obligations Fund (the "Fund"), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The investment objective of the Fund is current income consistent with stability of principal.

The Fund offers three classes of shares: Institutional Shares, Institutional Service Shares and Institutional Capital Shares.

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 Valuation

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

Repurchase Agreements

It is the policy of the Fund to require the custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or to have segregated within the custodian bank's vault, all securities held as collateral under repurchase agreement transactions. Additionally, procedures have been established by the Fund to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each repurchase agreement's collateral to ensure that the value of collateral at least equals the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement.

The Fund will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by the Fund's adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed or established by the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees"). Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Fund could receive less than the repurchase price on the sale of collateral securities. The Fund, along with other affiliated investment companies, may utilize a joint trading account for the purpose of entering into one or more repurchase agreements.

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 contract.

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. At July 31, 2000, capital paid-in aggregated $10,134,966,893.

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 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. 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 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 each of the Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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

Independent Auditors' Report

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF MONEY MARKET OBLIGATIONS TRUST
AND SHAREHOLDERS OF TREASURY OBLIGATIONS FUND:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments of Treasury Obligations Fund (the "Fund"), a portfolio of Money Market Obligations Trust as of July 31, 2000, and the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended July 31, 1999, and the financial highlights for each of the periods in the four years then ended were audited by other auditors, whose report dated September 29, 1999, expressed unqualified opinion on these statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to provide 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 at July 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 our audit provides 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 Treasury Obligations Fund as of July 31, 2000, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for the respective stated periods in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
