RISK/RETURN SUMMARY

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?

The Fund's investment objective is to provide high total return over longer
periods of time through appreciation of capital and current income provided by
dividends and interest payments. While there is no assurance that the Fund will
achieve its investment objective, it endeavors to do so by following the
strategies and policies described in this prospectus.

WHAT ARE THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGIES?

The Fund invests primarily in a broad, diversified range of dividend paying
common stocks of companies deemed to have above average earnings growth
prospects and whose shares are available at reasonable prices. As a matter of
investment policy, the Fund will invest so that, under normal circumstances, at
least 65% of its total assets are invested in equity securities.

WHAT ARE THE MAIN RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

     All mutual funds take investment risks.  Therefore,  it is possible to lose
money by investing in the Fund.  The primary  factors that may reduce the Fund's
return include:


STOCK MARKET RISKS

The value of equity securities in the Fund's portfolio will rise and fall. These
fluctuations could be a sustained trend or a drastic movement. The Fund's
portfolio will reflect changes in prices of individual portfolio stocks or
general changes in stock valuations. Consequently, the Fund's share price may
decline.

The investment adviser attempts to manage market risk by limiting the amount the
Fund invests in each company's equity securities. However, diversification will
not protect the Fund against widespread or prolonged declines in the stock
market.

SECTOR RISKS

Companies with similar characteristics may be grouped together in broad
categories called sectors. Sector risk is the possibility that a certain sector
may underperform other sectors or the market as a whole. As the Adviser
allocates more of the Fund's portfolio holdings to a particular sector, the
Fund's performance will be more susceptible to any economic, business or other
developments which generally affect that sector.

RISKS RELATED TO INVESTING FOR VALUE

Due to their relatively low valuations, value stocks are typically less volatile
than growth stocks. For instance, the price of a value stock may experience a
smaller increase on a forecast of higher earnings, a positive fundamental
development, or positive market development. Further, value stocks tend to have
higher dividends than growth stocks. This means they depend less on price
changes for returns and may lag behind growth stocks in an up market.

The Fund is for trust clients of Central Carolina Bank and Trust Company
(Central Carolina Bank or Adviser) and its affiliates and individual investors
who desire a convenient means of accumulating an interest in a professionally
managed, diversified portfolio investing primarily in dividend paying common
stocks.

The Shares offered by this prospectus are not deposits or obligations of Central
Carolina Bank or its affiliates, are not endorsed or guaranteed by Central
Carolina Bank or its affiliates and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S.
government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve
Board, or any other government agency.

RISK/RETURN BAR CHART AND TABLE

The graphic presentation displayed here consists of a bar chart representing the
annual total returns of CCB Equity Fund as of the calendar year-end for each of
four years.

The `y' axis reflects the "% Total Return" beginning with "0.00%" and increasing
in increments of 5.00% up to 35.00%

The `x' axis represents calculation periods from the earliest calendar year end
of the Fund's start of business through the calendar year ended December 31,
1998. The light gray shaded chart features four distinct vertical bars, each
shaded in charcoal, and each visually representing by height the total return
percentages for the calendar year stated directly at its base. The calculated
total return percentage for the Fund for each calendar year is stated directly
at the top of each respective bar, for the calendar years 1995 through 1998. The
percentages noted are: 29.16%, 21.43%, 30.27%, and 24.49%.

The bar chart shows the variability of the Fund's total returns on a calendar
year-end basis.

The total returns displayed for the Fund do not reflect the payment of any sales
charges or recurring shareholder account fees. If these charges or fees had been
included, the returns shown would have been lower.

The Fund's total return from January 1, 1999 to June 30, 1999 was 8.05%.

Within the period shown in the Chart, the Fund's highest quarterly return was
21.31% (quarter ended December 31, 1998). Its lowest quarterly return was
(10.72%) (quarter ended September 30, 1998).

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN TABLE

The following table represents the Fund's Average Annual Total Returns, reduced
to reflect applicable sales charges, for the calendar periods ending December
31, 1998.

The table shows the Fund's total returns averaged over a period of years
relative to the Standard & Poor's 500, a broad-based market index. Total returns
for the index shown do not reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that
the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. Indexes are
unmanaged, and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Past performance does not necessarily predict future performance. This
information provides you with historical performance so that you can analyze
whether the Fund's investment risks are balanced by its potential rewards.

EXAMPLE

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

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

WHAT ARE THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGIES?

The Fund invests at least 65% of its assets in equity securities. The Fund
invests primarily in a broad, diversified range of dividend paying common stocks
which, in the Adviser's opinion, are trading at a low valuation in relation to
their history, to their current market and to their expected future price. A
description of the various types of securities in which the Fund invests, and
their risks, immediately follows the strategy discussion.

Companies with similar characteristics may be grouped together in broad
categories called sectors. The Adviser diversifies the Fund's investments,
limiting the Fund's risk exposure with respect to individual securities and
industry sectors.

The Fund's Adviser performs traditional fundamental analysis to select
securities that exhibit the most promising long-term value for the Fund's
portfolio. In selecting securities, the Adviser focuses on the current financial
condition of the issuing company, in addition to examining each issuer's
business and product strength, competitive position, and management expertise.
Further, the Adviser considers current economic, financial market, and industry
factors, which may affect the issuing company. To determine the timing of
purchases and sales of portfolio securities, the Adviser looks at recent stock
price performance and the direction of current fiscal year earnings estimates of
various companies.

The Adviser uses the "value" style of investing, selecting securities of
companies which are trading at discounts to their historic relationship to the
market as well as to their expected growth. Because the Adviser uses a "value"
style of investing, the price of the securities held by the Fund may not, under
certain market conditions, increase as rapidly as stocks selected primarily for
growth attributes.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

Although the Fund does not intend to invest for the purpose of seeking
short-term profits, securities will be sold without regard to the length of time
they have been held when the Fund's Adviser or sub-adviser believe it is
appropriate to do so in light of the Fund's investment objective. A higher
portfolio turnover rate involves greater transaction expenses which must be
borne directly by the Fund (and thus, indirectly by its shareholders), and
affects performance. In addition, a high rate of portfolio turnover may result
in the regulation of larger amounts of capital gains which, when distributed to
the Fund's shareholders, are taxable to them.

TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE INVESTMENTS

The Fund may temporarily depart from its principal investment strategies by
investing its assets in cash, cash items, and shorter-term, higher-quality debt
securities and similar obligations. It may do this to minimize potential losses
and maintain liquidity to meet shareholder redemptions during adverse market
conditions. This may cause the Fund to give up greater investment returns to
maintain the safety of principal, that is, the original amount invested by
shareholders.

WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPAL SECURITIES IN WHICH THE FUND INVESTS?

EQUITY SECURITIES

Equity securities represent a share of an issuer's earnings and assets, after
the issuer pays its liabilities. The Fund cannot predict the income it will
receive from equity securities because issuers generally have discretion as to
the payment of any dividends or distributions. However, equity securities offer
greater potential for appreciation than many other types of securities, because
their value increases directly with the value of the issuer's business. The
following describes the principal types of equity securities in which the Fund
invests.

COMMON STOCKS

Common stocks are the most prevalent type of equity security. Common stocks
receive the issuer's earnings after the issuer pays its creditors and any
preferred stockholders. As a result, changes in an issuer's earnings directly
influence the value of its common stock.

WHAT ARE THE SPECIFIC RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

STOCK MARKET RISKS

The value of equity securities in the Fund's portfolio will rise and fall. These
fluctuations could be a sustained trend or a drastic movement. The Fund's
portfolio will reflect changes in prices of individual portfolio stocks or
general changes in stock valuations. Consequently, the Fund's share price may
decline.

The Adviser attempts to manage market risk by limiting the amount the Fund
invests in each company's equity securities. However, diversification will not
protect the Fund against widespread or prolonged declines in the stock market.

SECTOR RISKS

Companies with similar characteristics may be grouped together in broad
categories called sectors. Sector risk is the possibility that a certain sector
may underperform other sectors or the market as a whole. As the Adviser
allocates more of the Fund's portfolio holdings to a particular sector, the
Fund's performance will be more susceptible to any economic, business or other
developments which generally affect that sector.

RISKS RELATED TO INVESTING FOR VALUE

Due to their relatively low valuations, value stocks are typically less volatile
than growth stocks. For instance, the price of a value stock may experience a
smaller increase on a forecast of higher earnings, a positive fundamental
development, or positive market development. Further, value stocks tend to have
higher dividends than growth stocks. This means they depend less on price
changes for returns and may lag behind growth stocks in an up market.

WHAT DO SHARES COST?

You can purchase, redeem, or exchange Shares any day the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) is open. When the Fund receives your transaction request in proper form,
it is processed at the next calculated net asset value (NAV). The Fund does not
charge a front-end sales charge. NAV is determined at the end of regular trading
(normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) each day the NYSE is open.. The NAV is
determined based upon the market value of the Fund's portfolio securities.

The minimum initial investment in the Fund by an investor is $1,000. Subsequent
investments must be in amounts of at least $100. The Fund may waive these
minimums for purchases made by the Trust Division of Central Carolina Bank for
its fiduciary or custodial accounts. An institutional investor's minimum
investment will be calculated by combining all accounts it maintains with the
Fund. Keep in mind that investment professionals may charge you fees for their
services in connection with your Share transactions.

HOW IS THE FUND SOLD?

The Fund's Distributor, Federated Securities Corp. (Distributor), markets the
Shares described in this prospectus to trust clients of Central Carolina Bank
and its affiliates and individual investors.

When the Distributor receives marketing fees, it may pay some or all of them to
investment professionals. The Distributor and its affiliates may pay out of
their assets other amounts (including items of material value) to investment
professionals for marketing and servicing Shares. The Distributor is a
subsidiary of Federated Investors, Inc. (Federated).

RULE 12B-1 PLAN

The Fund has adopted a Rule 12b-1 Plan, which allows it to pay marketing fees to
the Distributor and investment professionals for the sale, distribution and
customer servicing of the Fund's Shares. The Fund is not presently paying or
accruing 12b-1 fees. The Fund will not pay or accrue these fees until a separate
class of shares has been created for certain trust and institutional investors.
Once the Fund begins accruing the 12b-1 fee, the Fund expenses will rise.

HOW TO PURCHASE SHARES

You may purchase Shares through Central Carolina Bank, or through an investment
professional that has an agreement with the Distributor (Authorized Dealer).

THROUGH CENTRAL CAROLINA BANK

An investor may purchase Shares by calling Central Carolina Bank at
1-800-386-3111. Orders must be received by 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) in order to
receive that day's public offering price. Payment is normally required within
three business days.

     Texas  residents  must  purchase  Shares  of  the  Fund  through  Federated
Securities Corp. at 1-800-618-8573.

THROUGH AN AUTHORIZED DEALER

Call your Authorized Dealer for specific instructions.

Purchase orders must be received before 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) in order to
receive that day's public offering price. Orders received after 3:00 p.m.
(Eastern time) will be purchased at the next determined public offering price.

THROUGH AN EXCHANGE

An investor may exchange Shares of the Fund for certain other funds administered
or distributed by subsidiaries of Federated that are not advised by Central
Carolina Bank ("Federated Funds"). For further information on the availability
of Federated Funds for exchange, call Central Carolina Bank at 1-800-386-3111.
Both accounts must have a common owner.

BY SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PROGRAM

Once you have opened an account, you may add to your investment on a regular
basis in amounts of at least $100. Under this program, funds may be
automatically withdrawn from your checking account and invested in Fund Shares
at the NAV next determined after an order is received by the Fund. You may apply
for participation in this program through Central Carolina Bank or through the
Distributor.

HOW TO EXCHANGE SHARES

You may exchange Shares of the Fund into shares of certain Federated Funds.

The Federated Funds you may exchange into are:

     o    Liberty U.S.  Government  Money Market Trust- a U.S.  government money
          market fund; and

     o    Federated American Leaders Fund, Inc.- a high-quality equity fund.

To do this, you must:

     o    meet any minimum initial investment requirements; and

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

An exchange is treated as a redemption and a subsequent purchase, and is a
taxable transaction. Signatures must be guaranteed if you request an exchange
into another fund with a different shareholder registration.

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

BY TELEPHONE

You may exchange Shares by telephone by calling 1-800-386-3111, or by calling
your Authorized Dealer directly.

Telephone exchange instructions must be received by 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) for
Shares to be exchanged that day.

Your telephone instructions may be recorded. If the Fund does not follow
reasonable procedures, it may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or
fraudulent telephone instructions. The Fund will notify you if it changes
telephone transaction privileges.

BY MAIL

You may exchange Shares by sending a written request to the Fund. Send your
requests by mail to:

CCB Funds

c/o Federated Shareholder Services Company

P.O. Box 8609

Boston, MA 02266

In addition, you may exchange Shares by sending a written request to your
Authorized Dealer directly.

HOW TO REDEEM SHARES

The Fund redeems Shares at its NAV next determined after the Fund receives the
redemption request in proper form. Shares may be redeemed by telephone or by
mail through Central Carolina Bank or directly from the Fund.

Redemption requests must be received by 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) and must be
transmitted by Central Carolina Bank to the Fund before 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time)
in order for Shares to be redeemed at that day's NAV.

BY TELEPHONE

You may redeem Shares by calling Central Carolina Bank at 1-800-386-3111.

Shareholders who have an Authorized Dealer should contact their Authorized
Dealer for specific instructions on how to redeem by telephone.

Your telephone instructions may be recorded. If the Fund does not follow
reasonable procedures, it may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or
fraudulent telephone instructions. The Fund will notify you if it changes
telephone transaction privileges.


<PAGE>



BY MAIL

You may redeem Shares by sending a written request to the Fund.

Send your written redemption request including your name, the Fund name, your
account number and the Share or dollar amount requested to:

CCB Funds

c/o Federated Shareholder Services Company

P.O. Box 8609

Boston, MA 02266

SIGNATURE GUARANTEES Signatures must be guaranteed if:

     o    your  redemption  will be sent to an address other than the address of
          record;

     o    your  redemption will be sent to an address of record that was changed
          within the last 30 days; or

     o    a redemption  is payable to someone other than the  shareholder(s)  of
          record.

A signature guarantee is designed to protect your account from fraud. Obtain a
signature guarantee from a bank or trust company, savings association, credit
union or broker, dealer, or securities exchange member. A NOTARY PUBLIC CANNOT
PROVIDE A SIGNATURE GUARANTEE.

REDEMPTION IN KIND

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

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM

The Systematic Withdrawal Program allows you to automatically redeem Shares on a
regular basis. Your account value must be at least $10,000 at the time the
program is established. This program may reduce, and eventually deplete, your
account, and the payments should not be considered yield or income. You may
apply for participation in this program through your financial institution.

ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS

SHARE CERTIFICATES

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

ACCOUNT AND SHARE INFORMATION

CONFIRMATIONS AND ACCOUNT STATEMENTS

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

DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS

The Fund declares and pays any dividends quarterly to shareholders. Dividends
are paid to all shareholders invested in the Fund on the record date. The record
date is the date on which a shareholder must officially own Shares in order to
earn a dividend.

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

If you purchase Shares just before a Fund declares a dividend or capital gain
distribution, you will pay the full price for the Shares and then receive a
portion of the price back in the form of a taxable distribution, whether or not
you reinvest the distribution in Shares. Therefore, you should consider the tax
implications of purchasing Shares shortly before the Fund declares a dividend or
capital gain. Contact your investment professional or the Fund for information
concerning when dividends and capital gains will be paid.

ACCOUNTS WITH LOW BALANCES

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

TAX INFORMATION

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

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

WHO MANAGES THE FUND?

The Board of Trustees governs the Fund. The Board selects and oversees the
Adviser, Central Carolina Bank. The Adviser manages the Fund's assets, including
buying and selling portfolio securities. The Adviser's address is 111 Corcoran
Street, Durham, North Carolina 27702.

The Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Franklin Street
Advisors, Inc. (Sub-Adviser), to manage the Fund, subject to oversight by the

YEAR 2000 READINESS

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

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

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

Year 2000 problems would also increase the risks of the Fund's investments. To
assess the potential effect of the Year 2000 problem, the Adviser is reviewing
information regarding the Year 2000 readiness of issuers of securities the Fund
may purchase.

The financial impact of these issues for the Fund is still being determined.
There can be no assurance that potential Year 2000 problems would not have a
material adverse effect on the Fund.

SECURITIES DESCRIPTIONS AND TECHNIQUES

EQUITY SECURITIES

Equity securities represent a share of an issuer's earnings and assets, after
the issuer pays its liabilities. The Fund cannot predict the income it will
receive from equity securities because issuers generally have discretion as to
the payment of any dividends or distributions. However, equity securities offer
greater potential for appreciation than many other types of securities, because
their value increases directly with the value of the issuer's business. The
following describes the types of equity securities in which the Fund invests.

COMMON STOCKS

Common stocks are the most prevalent type of equity security. Common stocks
receive the issuer's earnings after the issuer pays its creditors and any
preferred stockholders. As a result, changes in an issuer's earnings directly
influence the value of its common stock.

PREFERRED STOCKS

Preferred stocks have the right to receive specified dividends or distributions
before the issuer makes payments on its common stock. Some preferred stocks also
participate in dividends and distributions paid on common stock. Preferred
stocks may also permit the issuer to redeem the stock. The Fund may also treat
such redeemable preferred stock as a fixed income security.

WARRANTS

Warrants give the Fund the option to buy the issuer's equity securities at a
specified price (the exercise price) at a specified future date (the expiration
date). The Fund may buy the designated securities by paying the exercise price
before the expiration date. Warrants may become worthless if the price of the
stock does not rise above the exercise price by the expiration date. This
increases the MARKET RISKS of warrants as compared to the underlying security.
Rights are the same as warrants, except companies typically issue rights to
existing stockholders.

FIXED INCOME SECURITIES

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

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

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

TREASURY SECURITIES

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

AGENCY SECURITIES

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

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

CORPORATE DEBT SECURITIES

Corporate debt securities are fixed income securities issued by businesses. The
corporate debt securities in which the Fund invests are rated, at the time of
purchase, at least Baa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or, if
not rated, determined by the Fund's Adviser to be of comparable quality. Notes,
bonds, debentures and commercial paper are the most prevalent types of corporate
debt securities. The Fund may also purchase interests in bank loans to
companies. The credit risks of corporate debt securities vary widely among
issuers.

In addition, the credit risk of an issuer's debt security may vary based on its
priority for repayment. For example, higher ranking (senior) debt securities
have a higher priority than lower ranking (subordinated) securities. This means
that the issuer might not make payments on subordinated securities while
continuing to make payments on senior securities. In addition, in the event of
bankruptcy, holders of senior securities may receive amounts otherwise payable
to the holders of subordinated securities. Some subordinated securities, such as
trust preferred and capital securities notes, also permit the issuer to defer
payments under certain circumstances. For example, insurance companies issue
securities known as surplus notes that permit the insurance company to defer any
payment that would reduce its capital below regulatory requirements.

ZERO COUPON SECURITIES

Zero coupon securities do not pay interest or principal until final maturity
unlike debt securities that provide periodic payments of interest (referred to
as a coupon payment). Investors buy zero coupon securities at a price below the
amount payable at maturity. The difference between the purchase price and the
amount paid at maturity represents interest on the zero coupon security.
Investors must wait until maturity to receive interest and principal, which
increases the market and credit risks of a zero coupon security. A zero coupon
step-up security converts to a coupon security before final maturity.

BANK INSTRUMENTS

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

CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES

Convertible securities are fixed income securities that the Fund has the option
to exchange for equity securities at a specified conversion price. The option
allows the Fund to realize additional returns if the market price of the equity
securities exceeds the conversion price. For example, the Fund may hold fixed
income securities that are convertible into shares of common stock at a
conversion price of $10 per share. If the market value of the shares of common
stock reached $12, the Fund could realize an additional $2 per share by
converting its fixed income securities.

Convertible securities have lower yields than comparable fixed income
securities. In addition, at the time a convertible security is issued the
conversion price exceeds the market value of the underlying equity securities.
Thus, convertible securities may provide lower returns than non-convertible
fixed income securities or equity securities depending upon changes in the price
of the underlying equity securities. However, convertible securities permit the
Fund to realize some of the potential appreciation of the underlying equity
securities with less risk of losing its initial investment.

The convertible securities in which the Fund invests are rated, at the time of
purchase, at least BBB by Standard & Poor's or Fitch IBCA, Inc., or at least Baa
by Moody's, or, if not rated, determined by the Fund's Adviser to be of
comparable quality.

The Fund treats convertible securities as both fixed income and equity
securities for purposes of its investment policies and limitations, because of
their unique characteristics.

FOREIGN SECURITIES

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

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

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

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

The only foreign securities in which the Fund invests are American Depositary
Receipts.

AMERICAN DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS

     American  Depositary  Receipts ("ADRs")  represent  interests in underlying
securities issued by a foreign company.  The foreign securities  underlying ADRs
are not  traded  in the  United  States.  ADRs  provide  a way to buy  shares of
foreign-based  companies in the United States  rather than in overseas  markets.
ADRs are also traded in U.S. dollars,  eliminating the need for foreign exchange
transactions. ADRs involve risks of foreign investing.

DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS

Derivative contracts are financial instruments that require payments based upon
changes in the values of designated (or underlying) securities, currencies,
commodities, financial indices or other assets. Some derivative contracts (such
as futures, forwards and options) require payments relating to a future trade
involving the underlying asset. Other derivative contracts (such as swaps)
require payments relating to the income or returns from the underlying asset.
The other party to a derivative contract is referred to as a counterparty.

Many derivative contracts are traded on securities or commodities exchanges. In
this case, the exchange sets all the terms of the contract except for the price.
Investors make payments due under their contracts through the exchange. Most
exchanges require investors to maintain margin accounts through their brokers to
cover their potential obligations to the exchange. Parties to the contract make
(or collect) daily payments to the margin accounts to reflect losses (or gains)
in the value of their contracts. This protects investors against potential
defaults by the counterparty. Trading contracts on an exchange also allows
investors to close out their contracts by entering into offsetting contracts.

For example, the Fund could close out an open contract to buy an asset at a
future date by entering into an offsetting contract to sell the same asset on
the same date. If the offsetting sale price is more than the original purchase
price, the Fund realizes a gain; if it is less, the Fund realizes a loss.
Exchanges may limit the amount of open contracts permitted at any one time. Such
limits may prevent the Fund from closing out a position. If this happens, the
Fund will be required to keep the contract open (even if it is losing money on
the contract), and to make any payments required under the contract (even if it
has to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices to do so). Inability to
close out a contract could also harm the Fund by preventing it from disposing of
or trading any assets it has been using to secure its obligations under the
contract.

The Fund may also trade derivative contracts over-the-counter (OTC) in
transactions negotiated directly between the Fund and the counterparty. OTC
contracts do not necessarily have standard terms, so they cannot be directly
offset with other OTC contracts. In addition, OTC contracts with more
specialized terms may be more difficult to price than exchange traded contracts.

Depending upon how the Fund uses derivative contracts and the relationships
between the market value of a derivative contract and the underlying asset,
derivative contracts may increase or decrease the Fund's exposure to market and
currency risks, and may also expose the Fund to liquidity and leverage risks.
OTC contracts also expose the Fund to credit risks in the event that a
counterparty defaults on the contract.

The Fund may trade in the following types of derivative contracts.

FUTURES CONTRACTS

Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by
another party of a specified amount of an underlying asset at a specified price,
date, and time. Entering into a contract to buy an underlying asset is commonly
referred to as buying a contract or holding a long position in the asset.
Entering into a contract to sell an underlying asset is commonly referred to as
selling a contract or holding a short position in the asset. Futures contracts
are considered to be commodity contracts. Futures contracts traded OTC are
frequently referred to as forward contracts.

The Fund may buy and sell the following types of futures contracts: stock index
futures contracts and financial futures contracts.

OPTIONS

Options are rights to buy or sell an underlying asset for a specified price (the
exercise price) during, or at the end of, a specified period. A call option
gives the holder (buyer) the right to buy the underlying asset from the seller
(writer) of the option. A put option gives the holder the right to sell the
underlying asset to the writer of the option. The writer of the option receives
a payment, or premium, from the buyer, which the writer keeps regardless of
whether the buyer uses (or exercises) the option.

The Fund may:

Buy put options on portfolio securities and financial futures contracts in
anticipation of a decrease in the value of the underlying asset.

Write call options on portfolio securities and financial futures contracts to
generate income from premiums, and in anticipation of a decrease or only limited
increase in the value of the underlying asset. If a call written by the Fund is
exercised, the Fund foregoes any possible profit from an increase in the market
price of the underlying asset over the exercise price plus the premium received.

Buy or write options to close out existing options positions.

When the Fund writes options on futures contracts, it will be subject to margin
requirements similar to those applied to futures contracts.

SPECIAL TRANSACTIONS

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

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

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

Repurchase agreements are subject to credit risks.

REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

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

DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS

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

SECURITIES LENDING

The Fund may lend portfolio securities to borrowers that the Adviser deems
creditworthy. In return, the Fund receives cash or liquid securities from the
borrower as collateral. The borrower must furnish additional collateral if the
market value of the loaned securities increases. Also, the borrower must pay the
Fund the equivalent of any dividends or interest received on the loaned
securities.

     The Fund will  reinvest cash  collateral  in securities  that qualify as an
acceptable  investment for the Fund. However,  the Fund must pay interest to the
borrower for the use of cash collateral.

Loans are subject to termination at the option of the Fund or the borrower. The
Fund will not have the right to vote on securities while they are on loan, but
it will terminate a loan in anticipation of any important vote. The Fund may pay
administrative and custodial fees in connection with a loan and may pay a
negotiated portion of the interest earned on the cash collateral to a securities
lending agent or broker.

Securities lending activities are subject to interest rate risks and credit
risks.

RESTRICTED AND ILLIQUID SECURITIES

The Fund may invest in restricted securities. Restricted securities are any
securities in which the Fund may otherwise invest pursuant to its investment
objective and policies, but which are subject to restrictions on resale under
federal securities laws. However, the Fund will limit investments in illiquid
securities, including certain restricted securities not determined by the
Trustees to be liquid, to 15% of its net assets.

INVESTING IN SECURITIES OF OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES

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

INVESTMENT RATINGS FOR INVESTMENT GRADE SECURITIES

The Adviser will determine whether a security is investment grade based upon the
credit ratings given by one or more nationally recognized rating services. For
example, Standard and Poor's, a rating service, assigns ratings to investment
grade securities (AAA, AA, A, and BBB) based on their assessment of the
likelihood of the issuer's inability to pay interest or principal (default) when
due on each security. Lower credit ratings correspond to higher credit risk. If
a security has not received a rating, the Fund must rely entirely upon the
Adviser's credit assessment that the security is comparable to investment grade.

INVESTMENT RISKS

There are many factors which may affect an investment in the Fund. The Fund's
risk factors are described below.

STOCK MARKET RISKS

The value of equity securities in the Fund's portfolio will rise and fall. These
fluctuations could be a sustained trend or a drastic movement. The Fund's
portfolio will reflect changes in prices of individual portfolio stocks or
general changes in stock valuations. Consequently, the Fund's share price may
decline.

The investment adviser attempts to manage market risk by limiting the amount the
Fund invests in each company's equity securities. However, diversification will
not protect the Fund against widespread or prolonged declines in the stock
market.

SECTOR RISKS

Companies with similar characteristics may be grouped together in broad
categories called sectors. Sector risk is the possibility that a certain sector
may underperform other sectors or the market as a whole. As the Adviser
allocates more of the Fund's portfolio holdings to a particular sector, the
Fund's performance will be more susceptible to any economic, business or other
developments which generally affect that sector.

RISKS RELATED TO INVESTING FOR VALUE

Due to their relatively low valuations, value stocks are typically less volatile
than growth stocks. For instance, the price of a value stock may experience a
smaller increase on a forecast of higher earnings, a positive fundamental
development, or positive market development. Further, value stocks tend to have
higher dividends than growth stocks. This means they depend less on price
changes for returns and may lag behind growth stocks in an up market.

RISKS RELATED TO COMPANY SIZE

Generally, the smaller the market capitalization of a company, the fewer the
number of shares traded daily, the less liquid its stock and the more volatile
its price. Market capitalization is determined by multiplying the number of its
outstanding shares by the current market price per share.

Companies with smaller market capitalizations also tend to have unproven track
records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital. These
factors also increase risks and make these companies more likely to fail than
companies with larger market capitalizations.

LIQUIDITY RISKS

Trading opportunities are more limited for equity securities that are not widely
held. This may make it more difficult to sell or buy a security at a favorable
price or time. Consequently, the Fund may have to accept a lower price to sell a
security, sell other securities to raise cash or give up an investment
opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on the Fund's
performance. Infrequent trading of securities may also lead to an increase in
their price volatility.

Liquidity risk also refers to the possibility that the Fund may not be able to
sell a security [or close out a derivative contract] when it wants to. If this
happens, the Fund will be required to continue to hold the security [or keep the
position open], and the Fund could incur losses.

OTC derivative contracts generally carry greater liquidity risk than
exchange-traded contracts.

CREDIT RISKS

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

INTEREST RATE RISKS

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

Interest rate changes have a greater effect on the price of fixed income
securities with longer durations. Duration measures the price sensitivity of a
fixed income security to changes in interest rates.

RISKS OF FOREIGN INVESTING

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

Foreign companies may not provide information (including financial statements)
as frequently or to as great an extent as companies in the United States.
Foreign companies may also receive less coverage than United States companies by
market analysts and the financial press. In addition, foreign countries may lack
uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards or regulatory
requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies. These factors may
prevent the Fund and its Adviser from obtaining information concerning foreign
companies that is as frequent, extensive and reliable as the information
available concerning companies in the United States.

Foreign countries may have restrictions on foreign ownership of securities or
may impose exchange controls, capital flow restrictions or repatriation
restrictions which could adversely affect the liquidity of the Fund's
investments.

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

SELLING SHORT AND BUYING ON MARGIN

The Fund will not sell any securities short or purchase any securities on
margin, other than in connection with buying stock index futures contracts, put
options on stock index futures, put options on financial futures and portfolio
securities, and writing covered call options, but may obtain such short-term
credits as may be necessary for clearance of purchases and sales of portfolio
securities. A deposit or payment by the Fund of initial or variation margin in
connection with futures contracts or related options transactions is not
considered the purchase of a security on margin.

ISSUING SENIOR SECURITIES AND BORROWING MONEY

The Fund will not issue senior securities except that the Fund may borrow money
directly or through reverse repurchase agreements in amounts up to one-third of
the value of its total assets, including the amounts borrowed.

The Fund will not borrow money or engage in reverse repurchase agreements for
investment leverage, but rather as a temporary, extraordinary, or emergency
measure to facilitate management of the portfolio by enabling the Fund to meet
redemption requests when the liquidation of portfolio securities is deemed to be
inconvenient or disadvantageous. The Fund will not purchase any securities while
borrowings in excess of 5% of its total assets are outstanding.

PLEDGING ASSETS

The Fund will not mortgage, pledge, or hypothecate any assets except to secure
permitted borrowings. For purposes of this limitation, the following will not be
deemed to be pledges of the Fund's assets: (a) the deposit of assets in escrow
in connection with the writing of covered put or call options and the purchase
of securities on a when- issued basis; and (b) collateral arrangements with
respect to (i) the purchase and sale of stock options (and options on stock
indices) and (ii) initial or variation margin for futures contracts.

INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE

The Fund will not purchase or sell real estate, including limited partnership
interests, although it may invest in the securities of companies whose business
involves the purchase or sale of real estate or in securities which are secured
by real estate or interests in real estate.

INVESTING IN COMMODITIES

The Fund will not purchase or sell commodities, commodity contracts, or
commodity futures contracts. However, the Fund may purchase put options on stock
index futures, put options on financial futures, stock index futures contracts,
and put options on portfolio securities, and may write covered call options.

UNDERWRITING

The Fund will not underwrite any issue of securities, except as it may be deemed
to be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the
sale of securities which the Fund may purchase pursuant to its investment
objective, policies, and limitations.

DIVERSIFICATION OF INVESTMENTS

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

CONCENTRATION OF INVESTMENTS

The Fund will not invest 25% or more of the value of its total assets in any one
industry. However, the Fund may invest 25% or more of the value of its assets in
cash or cash items, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its
agencies or instrumentalities, or instruments secured by these money market
instruments, such as repurchase agreements.

LENDING CASH OR SECURITIES

The Fund will not lend any of its assets, except portfolio securities. This
shall not prevent the Fund from purchasing or holding money market instruments,
repurchase agreements, obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies or
instrumentalities, variable rate demand notes, bonds debentures, notes,
certificates of indebtedness, or certain debt instruments as permitted by its
investment objective, policies, and limitations or the Trust's Declaration of
Trust.

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

INVESTING IN ILLIQUID SECURITIES

The Fund will not invest more than 15% of the value of its net assets in
illiquid securities, including repurchase agreements providing for settlement in
more than seven days after notice, non-negotiable fixed time deposits with
maturities over seven days, over-the-counter options, and certain securities not
determined by the Trustees to be liquid.

PURCHASING SECURITIES TO EXERCISE CONTROL

The Fund will not purchase securities of a company for purpose of exercising
control or management.

WRITING COVERED CALL OPTIONS

The Fund will not write call options on securities unless the securities are
held in the Fund's portfolio or unless the Fund is entitled to them in
deliverable form without further payment or after segregating cash in the amount
of any further payment.

Except with respect to borrowing money, if a percentage limitation is adhered to
at the time of investment, a later increase or decrease in percentage resulting
from any change in value or net assets will not result in a violation of such
restriction.

The Fund does not intend to borrow money or pledge securities in excess of 5% of
the value of its net assets during the coming fiscal year. For purposes of its
policies and limitations, the Fund considers certificates of deposit and demand
and time deposits issued by a U.S. branch of a domestic bank or savings and loan
having capital, surplus, and undivided profits in excess of $100,000,000 at the
time of investment to be "cash items."

DETERMINING MARKET VALUE OF SECURITIES

Market values of the Fund's portfolio securities are determined as follows:

        for equity securities, according to the last sale price in the market in
   which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the
   over-the-counter market), if available;

     in the absence of recorded  sales for equity  securities,  according to the
mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;

        for bonds and other fixed income securities, at the last sale price on a
   national securities exchange, if available, otherwise, as determined by an
   independent pricing service;

o  futures contracts and options are valued at market values established by the
   exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges.
   Options traded in the over-the-counter market are valued according to the
   mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided
   by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the
   option. The Board may determine in good faith that another method of valuing
   such investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value;

        for short-term obligations, according to the mean between bid and asked
   prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that short-term
   obligations with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of
   purchase may be valued at amortized cost or at fair market value as
   determined in good faith by the Board; and

     for all other  securities  at fair value as determined in good faith by the
Board.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without
relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in
similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate,
maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or
factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent
pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or
other financial institutions that trade the securities.

WHAT DO SHARES COST?

The Fund's net asset value (NAV) per Share fluctuates and is based on the market
value of all securities and other assets of the Fund. The NAV for each class of
Shares may differ due to the variance in daily net income realized by each
class. Such variance will reflect only accrued net income to which the
shareholders of a particular class are entitled.

HOW IS THE FUND SOLD?

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

RULE 12B-1 PLAN

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

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

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

SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

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

SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENTS

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

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

SUBACCOUNTING SERVICES

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


<PAGE>



REDEMPTION IN KIND

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

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

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

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

MASSACHUSETTS PARTNERSHIP LAW

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

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

ACCOUNT AND SHARE INFORMATION

VOTING RIGHTS

Each share of the Fund gives the shareholder one vote in Trustee elections and
other matters submitted to shareholders for vote.

All Shares of the Trust have equal voting rights, except that in matters
affecting only a particular Fund or class, only Shares of that Fund or class are
entitled to vote.

Trustees may be removed by the Board or by shareholders at a special meeting. A
special meeting of shareholders will be called by the Board upon the written
request of shareholders who own at least 10% of the Trust's outstanding Shares.

As of September __, 1999, the following shareholders owned of record,
beneficially, or both, 5% or more of outstanding Shares: [Name & Address of
Shareholder, % and Name of Share Class Owned.] (To be filed by amendment.)


<PAGE>



TAX INFORMATION

FEDERAL INCOME TAX

The Fund intends to meet requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies. If these requirements are not
met, it will not receive special tax treatment and will pay federal income tax.

The Fund will be treated as a single, separate entity for federal income tax
purposes so that income earned and capital gains and losses realized by the
Trust's other portfolios will be separate from those realized by the Fund.

WHO MANAGES AND PROVIDES SERVICES TO THE FUND?

BOARD OF TRUSTEES

The Board is responsible for managing the Trust's business affairs and for
exercising all the Trust's powers except those reserved for the shareholders.
Information about each Board member is provided below and includes each
person's: name, address, birth date, present position(s) held with the Trust,
principal occupations for the past five years and positions held prior to the
past five years, and total compensation received as a Trustee from the Trust for
its most recent fiscal year. The Trust is comprised of one fund and is the only
investment company in the Fund Complex.

As of September __, 1999, the Fund's Board and Officers as a group owned
[approximately # (___%)] [less than 1%] of the Fund's outstanding Shares.

An asterisk (*) denotes a Trustee who is deemed to be an interested person as
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. A POUND SIGN (#) denotes a Member
of the Board's Executive Committee, which handles the Board's responsibilities
between its meetings.

INVESTMENT ADVISER

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

The Adviser shall not be liable to the Trust, the Fund or any Fund shareholder
for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding, or sale of any
security or for anything done or omitted by it, except acts or omissions
involving willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless
disregard of the duties imposed upon it by its contract with the Trust. Because
of internal controls maintained by the Adviser to restrict the flow of
non-public information, Fund investments are typically made without any
knowledge of the Adviser or its affiliates' lending relationships with an
issuer.

SUB-ADVISER

The Fund is sub-advised by Franklin Street Advisors, Inc. Pursuant to the terms
of an investment sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Franklin Street
Advisors, Inc. (Sub-Adviser), the Sub-Adviser furnishes certain investment
advisory services to the Adviser, including investment research, statistical and
other factual information, and recommendations, based on the Sub-Adviser's
analysis, and assists the Adviser in identifying securities for potential
purchase and/or sale on behalf of the Fund's portfolio. For its services under
the sub-advisory agreement, the Sub-Adviser receives 0.65% of the Fund's
advisory fee. The Sub-Adviser is paid by the Adviser and not by the Fund. In no
event shall the Fund be responsible for any fees due to the Sub-Adviser for its
services to the Adviser.

BROKERAGE TRANSACTIONS

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

RESEARCH SERVICES

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

For the fiscal year ended, May 31, 1999, the Fund's Adviser directed brokerage
transactions to certain brokers due to research services they provided. The
total amount of these transactions was $_______ for which the Fund paid $_______
in brokerage commissions.

On May 31, 1999, the Fund owned securities of the following regular
broker/dealers: [identify issuer name and aggregate dollar amount of debt and
equity securities held by Fund].

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

ADMINISTRATOR

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

MAXIMUM ADMINISTRATIVE      AVERAGE AGGREGATE DAILY NET ASSETS OF THE FEDERATED
FEE                             FUNDS
0.150 of 1%                     on the first $250 million
0.125 of 1%                     on the next $250 million
0.100 of 1%                     on the next $250 million
0.075 of 1%                     on assets in excess of $750 million
The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $50,000
per fund. Federated Administrative Services may voluntarily waive a portion of
its fee and may reimburse the Fund for expenses.

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

CUSTODIAN AND PORTFOLIO ACCOUNTANT

Fifth Third Bank, Cincinnati, Ohio, is custodian for the securities and cash of
the Fund. Federated Services Company provides certain accounting and
recordkeeping services with respect to the Fund's portfolio investments. The fee
paid for this service is based upon the level of the Fund's average net assets
for the period plus out-of-pocket expenses.

TRANSFER AGENT AND DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT

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

INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

The independent public accountant for the Fund, Arthur Andersen LLP, plans and
performs their audit so that they may provide an opinion as to whether the
Fund's financial statements and financial highlights are free of material
misstatement.

HOW DOES THE FUND MEASURE PERFORMANCE?

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

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

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

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS AND YIELD

Total returns given for the one-year, five-year and start of performance periods
ended May 31, 1999.

Yield given for the 30-day period ended May 31, 1999.

                    Start of Performance

                30-DAY PERIOD  1 Year   5 Years  10 Years   on December 4, 1994
Total Return    NA             ___%     ___%     NA          ___%
Yield           ___%           NA       NA       NA          NA


TOTAL RETURN

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

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

YIELD

The yield of Shares is calculated by dividing: (i) the net investment income per
Share earned by the Shares over a 30-day period; by (ii) the maximum offering
price per Share on the last day of the period. This number is then annualized
using semi-annual compounding. This means that the amount of income generated
during the 30-day period is assumed to be generated each month over a 12-month
period and is reinvested every six months. The yield does not necessarily
reflect income actually earned by Shares because of certain adjustments required
by the SEC and, therefore, may not correlate to the dividends or other
distributions paid to shareholders.

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

PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS

Advertising and sales literature may include:

o    references  to  ratings,   rankings,   and  financial  publications  and/or
     performance comparisons of Shares to certain indices;

o  charts, graphs and illustrations using the Fund's returns, or returns in
   general, that demonstrate investment concepts such as tax-deferred
   compounding, dollar-cost averaging and systematic investment;

o  discussions of economic, financial and political developments and their
   impact on the securities market, including the portfolio manager's views on
   how such developments could impact the Funds; and

o information about the mutual fund industry from sources such as the Investment
Company Institute.

The Fund may compare its performance, or performance for the types of securities
in which it invests, to a variety of other investments, including federally
insured bank products such as bank savings accounts, certificates of deposit,
and Treasury bills.

The Fund may quote information from reliable sources regarding individual
countries and regions, world stock exchanges, and economic and demographic
statistics.

You may use financial publications and/or indices to obtain a more complete view
of Share performance. When comparing performance, you should consider all
relevant factors such as the composition of the index used, prevailing market
conditions, portfolio compositions of other funds, and methods used to value
portfolio securities and compute offering price. The financial publications
and/or indices which the Fund uses in advertising may include:

o STANDARD & POOR'S ("S&P") DAILY STOCK PRICE INDEX OF 500 COMMON STOCKS, which
is a composite index of common stocks in industry, transportation, and financial
and public utility companies, and can be used to compare to the total returns of
funds whose portfolios are invested primarily in common stocks. In addition, the
S&P 500 Index assumes reinvestments of all dividends paid by stocks listed on
its index. Taxes due on any of these distributions are not included, nor are
brokerage or other fees calculated in S&P figures.

o LIPPER ANALYTICAL SERVICES, INC. ranks funds in various fund categories by
making comparative calculations using total return. Total return assumes the
reinvestment of all capital gains distributions and income dividends and takes
into account any change in the maximum offering price over a specific period of
time. From time to time, the Fund will quote its Lipper ranking in the "index
funds" category in advertising and sales literature.

o MORNINGSTAR, INC., an independent rating service, is the publisher of the
bi-weekly MUTUAL FUND VALUES. MUTUAL FUND VALUES rates more than 1,000
NASDAQ-listed mutual funds of all types, according to their risk-adjusted
returns. The maximum rating is five stars, and ratings are effective for two
weeks.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Financial Statements for the Fund for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1999 are
incorporated herein by reference to the Annual Report to Shareholders of CCB
Equity Fund dated May 31, 1999. (To be filed by amendment.)

INVESTMENT RATINGS

STANDARD AND POOR'S LONG-TERM DEBT RATING DEFINITIONS

AAA--Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's.
Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.

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

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

BBB--Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest
and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate protection
parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more
likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for
debt in this category than in higher-rated categories.

BB--Debt rated BB has less near-term vulnerability to default than other
speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to
adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to
inadequate capacity to meet timely interest and principal payments. The BB
rating category is also used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is
assigned an actual or implied BBB rating.

B--Debt rated B has a greater vulnerability to default but currently has the
capacity to meet interest payments and principal repayments. Adverse business,
financial, or economic conditions will likely impair capacity or willingness to
pay interest and repay principal. The B rating category is also used for debt
subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied BB or BB-
rating.

CCC--Debt rated CCC has a currently identifiable vulnerability to default, and
is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions to meet
timely payment of interest and repayment of principal. In the event of adverse
business, financial, or economic conditions, it is not likely to have the
capacity to pay interest and repay principal. The CCC rating category is also
used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied
B or B rating.

CC--The rating CC typically is applied to debt subordinated to senior debt that
is assigned an actual or implied CCC debt rating.

C--The rating C typically is applied to debt subordinated to senior debt which
is assigned an actual or implied CCC debt rating. The C rating may be used to
cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition has been filed, but debt service
payments are continued.

MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC. LONG-TERM BOND RATING DEFINITIONS

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

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

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

BAA--Bonds which are rated BAA are considered as medium-grade obligations,
(i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured). Interest payments
and principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective
elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great
length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in
fact have speculative characteristics as well.

BA--Bonds which are BA are judged to have speculative elements; their future
cannot be considered as well assured. Often the protection of interest and
principal payments may be very moderate and thereby not well safeguarded during
both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of position characterizes
bonds in this class.

B--Bonds which are rated B generally lack characteristics of the desirable
investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or of maintenance of
other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.

CAA--Bonds which are rated CAA are of poor standing. Such issues may be in
default or there may be present elements of danger with respect to principal or
interest.

CA--Bonds which are rated CA represent obligations which are speculative in a
high degree. Such issues are often in default or have other marked shortcomings.

C--Bonds which are rated C are the lowest-rated class of bonds, and issues so
rated can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any
real investment standing.

FITCH IBCA, INC. LONG-TERM DEBT RATING DEFINITIONS

AAA--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of the highest credit quality.
The obligor has an exceptionally strong ability to pay interest and repay
principal, which is unlikely to be affected by reasonably foreseeable events.

AA--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of very high credit quality. The
obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is very strong, although
not quite as strong as bonds rated AAA. Because bonds rated in the AAA and AA
categories are not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable future developments,
short-term debt of these issuers is generally rated F-1+.

A--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of high credit quality. The
obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be
strong, but may be more vulnerable to adverse changes in economic conditions and
circumstances than bonds with higher ratings.

BBB--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of satisfactory credit quality.
The obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be
adequate. Adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances, however, are
more likely to have adverse impact on these bonds, and therefore impair timely
payment. The likelihood that the ratings of these bonds will fall below
investment grade is higher than for bonds with higher ratings.

BB--Bonds are considered speculative. The obligor's ability to pay interest and
repay principal may be affected over time by adverse economic changes. However,
business and financial alternatives can be identified which could assist the
obligor in satisfying its debt service requirements.

B--Bonds are considered highly speculative. While bonds in this class are
currently meeting debt service requirements, the probability of continued timely
payment of principal and interest reflects the obligor's limited margin of
safety and the need for reasonable business and economic activity throughout the
life of the issue.

CCC--Bonds have certain identifiable characteristics which, if not remedied, may
lead to default. The ability to meet obligations requires an advantageous
business and economic environment.

CC--Bonds are minimally protected. Default in payment of interest and/or
principal seems probable over time.

C--Bonds are imminent default in payment of interest or principal.

MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC. COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

PRIME-1--Issuers rated Prime-1 (or related supporting institutions) have a
superior capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. Prime-1
repayment capacity will normally be evidenced by the following characteristics:

o    Leading market positions in well-established industries;

o    High rates of return on funds employed;

o    Conservative  capitalization  structure with moderate  reliance on debt and
     ample asset protection;

o    Broad  margins in earning  coverage  of fixed  financial  charges  and high
     internal cash generation; and

o    Well-established access to a range of financial markets and assured sources
     of alternate liquidity.

PRIME-2--Issuers rated Prime-1 (or related supporting institutions) have a
strong capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. This will
normally be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a lesser
degree. Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will be more subject
to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be
more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

STANDARD AND POOR'S COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

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

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

FITCH IBCA, INC. COMMERCIAL PAPER RATING DEFINITIONS

FITCH-1--(Highest Grade) Commercial paper assigned this rating is regarded as
having the strongest degree of assurance for timely payment.

FITCH-2--(Very Good Grade) Issues assigned this rating reflect an assurance of
timely payment only slightly less in degree than the strongest issues.

                         SHAREHOLDER SERVICES AGREEMENT

        AGREEMENT made as of the 1st day of September, 1998, by and between CCB

Services. FAS hereby accepts such appointments. FAS agrees to provide or cause
to be provided Services which, in its best judgment (subject to supervision and

agrees to accept as full compensation for its services rendered hereunder a fee
at an annual rate, calculated daily and payable monthly, up to 0.15% of 1% of
average net assets of each class.

        For the payment period in which this Agreement becomes effective or
terminates with respect to any class, there shall be an appropriate proration of
the monthly fee on the basis of the number of days that this Agreement is in
effect with respect to such class during the month. To enable the Fund to comply
with an applicable exemptive order, FAS represents that the fees received
pursuant to this Agreement will be disclosed to and authorized by any person or
entity receiving Services, and will not result in an excessive fee to FAS.

        3. This Agreement shall continue in effect for one year from the date of
its execution, and thereafter for successive periods of one year only if the
form of this Agreement is approved at least annually by the Board of the Fund,
including a majority of the members of the Board of the Fund who are not
interested persons of the Fund and have no direct or indirect financial interest
in the operation of the Fund's Plan or in any related documents to the Plan
("Independent Board Members") cast in person at a meeting called for that
purpose.

     4.  Notwithstanding  paragraph  3,  this  Agreement  may be  terminated  as
follows:

     (a) at any time,  without  the  payment  of any  penalty,  by the vote of a
majority of the Independent Board Members of the Fund or by a vote of a majority
of the  outstanding  voting  securities of the Fund as defined in the Investment
Company  Act of 1940 on sixty (60) days'  written  notice to the parties to this
Agreement;

     (b) automatically in the event of the Agreement's  assignment as defined in
the Investment Company Act of 1940; and

     (c) by any party to the  Agreement  without cause by giving the other party
at least sixty (60) days' written notice of its intention to terminate.

        5. FAS agrees to obtain any taxpayer identification number certification
from each shareholder of the class to which it provides Services that is
required under Section 3406 of the Internal Revenue Code, and any applicable
Treasury regulations, and to provide the Fund or its designee with timely
written notice of any failure to obtain such taxpayer identification number
certification in order to enable the implementation of any required backup
withholding.

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

        This Section 6 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

        7. No provision of this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or
terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against which an enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is
sought.

        8. FAS is expressly put on notice of the limitation of liability as set
forth in the Declaration of Trust of the Fund and agrees that the obligations
assumed by the Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall be limited in any case to
the Fund and its assets and that FAS shall not seek satisfaction of any such
obligations from the shareholders of the Fund, the Trustees, Officers, Employees
or Agents of the Fund, or any of them.

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

        10. Notices of any kind to be given hereunder shall be in writing
(including facsimile communication) and shall be duly given if delivered to the
Fund at the following address: Federated Investors Tower, Pittsburgh, PA
15222-3779, Attention: President and if delivered to FAS at Federated Investors
Tower, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-3779, Attention: President.

        11. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
hereto and supersedes any prior agreement with respect to the subject hereof
whether oral or written. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or
made invalid by a court or regulatory agency decision, statute, rule or
otherwise, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.
Subject to the provisions of Sections 3 and 4, hereof, this Agreement shall be
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and shall be governed by Pennsylvania law; provided,
however, that nothing herein shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with
the Investment Company Act of 1940 or any rule or regulation promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

        12. This Agreement may be executed by different parties on separate
counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an
original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same
instrument.

        13. This Agreement shall not be assigned by any party without the prior
written consent of FAS in the case of assignment by any Fund, or of the Funds in
the case of assignment by FAS, except that any party may assign to a successor
all of or a substantial portion of its business to a party controlling,
controlled by, or under common control with such party. Nothing in this Section
14 shall prevent FAS from delegating its responsibilities to another entity to
the extent provided herein.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this instrument to be
executed by their officers designated below as of the day and year first above
written.

             1933 Act File No. 33-45753

             1940 ACT FILE NO. 811-6561

Dear Sir or Madam:

     Post-Effective  Amendment  No.  13  under  the  Securities  Act of 1933 and
Amendment No. 12 under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940 to the  Registration
Statement of the above-referenced Trust is hereby electronically transmitted.

        As indicated on the facing page of the Amendment, the Registrant has
specified that it is to become effective September 28, 1999 pursuant to the
provisions of Rule 485(a) under the Securities Act of 1933. Consistent with the
position of the Division of Investment Management, a Rule 485(a) filing is being
made to make changes to the Registrant's registration statement to comply with
the requirements of "New" Form N-1A and Rule 421 under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended effective October 1, 1998.

        The Registrant's Risk/Return Bar Chart and Table as required under Item
2 and a form of the Risk/Return Summary: Fee Table as required under Item 3 will
be separately transmitted via fax to (202)628-9002 within 3 business days of
this filing.

        Because we have essentially re-drafted the Trust's prospectus and
statement of additional information to comply with New N-1A, it is our opinion
that it would not be productive or useful to mark all of the changes in the
document to reflect differences from the Trust's currently effective prospectus
and statement of additional information. However, in order to facilitate the
Staff's review, the dates on the documents contained in this registration
statement are redlined.


<PAGE>



        In addition, we respectfully request SEC comments within 45 days of the
date of this filing in order to meet our print production and shareholder
mailing schedules. The Registrant's prospectus and statement of additional
information must release to print no later than September 20, 1999 in order to
mail to shareholders on September 29, 1999.

        Registrant anticipates filing the Trust's updated financial statements
by post-effective amendment pursuant to Rule 485(b) on or about September 27,
1999 to become effective on September 28, 1999, simultaneously with the
effectiveness of Registrant's Rule 485(a) post-effective amendment.

        If you have any questions regarding this filing, please call me at (412)
288-8489.

                                                   Very truly yours,
