ITEM 77E.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Since October 2003, Federated and
related entities (collectively, "Federated"),
and various Federated funds ("Funds"),
have been named
as defendants in several class action
lawsuits now pending in the United States
District Court for the District of Maryland.
The lawsuits
were purportedly filed on behalf of people
who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares
of Federated-sponsored mutual funds during
specified periods beginning November 1, 1998.
The suits are generally similar in alleging
that Federated engaged in illegal and
improper trading practices including market
timing and late trading in concert with
certain institutional traders, which
allegedly caused
financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders.
These lawsuits began to be filed shortly after
Federated's first public announcement
that it had received requests for information
on shareholder trading activities in the
Funds from the SEC, the Office of the New York
State Attorney General ("NYAG"), and other
authorities. In that regard, on November 28, 2005,
Federated announced that it had
reached final settlements with the SEC and the
NYAG with respect to those matters. Specifically,
the SEC and NYAG settled
proceedings against three Federated subsidiaries
involving undisclosed market timing arrangements
and late trading. The SEC made
findings: that Federated Investment
Management Company ("FIMC"), an SEC-registered
investment adviser to various Funds, and
Federated Securities Corp., an SEC-registered
broker-dealer and distributor for the Funds,
violated provisions of the Investment Advisers
Act and Investment Company Act by approving,
but not disclosing, three market timing
arrangements, or the associated conflict of
interest between FIMC and the funds involved
in the arrangements, either to other fund
shareholders or to the funds' board; and that
Federated Shareholder Services Company,
formerly an SEC-registered transfer agent,
failed to prevent a customer and a Federated
employee from late trading in violation of
provisions of the Investment Company Act.
The NYAG found that such conduct violated
provisions of New York State law. Federated
entered into the settlements without admitting
or denying the regulators' findings. As
Federated previously reported in 2004, it
has already paid approximately $8.0 million to
certain funds as determined by an independent
consultant. As part of these settlements,
Federated agreed to pay disgorgement and a
civil money penalty in the aggregate amount of
an additional $72 million and, among other things,
agreed that it would not serve as investment
adviser to any registered investment
company unless (i) at least 75% of the fund's
directors are independent of Federated, (ii)
the chairman of each such fund is
independent of Federated, (iii) no action may
be taken by the fund's board or any committee
thereof unless approved by a majority of
the independent trustees of the fund or
committee, respectively, and (iv) the fund
appoints a "senior officer" who reports to the
independent trustees and is responsible for
monitoring compliance by the fund with
applicable laws and fiduciary duties and for
managing the process by which management fees
charged to a fund are approved. The settlements
are described in Federated's
announcement which, along with previous press
releases and related communications on
those matters, is available in the "About Us"
section of Federated's website at
FederatedInvestors.com.
Federated entities have also been named
as defendants in several additional lawsuits
that are now pending in the United States
District Court for the Western District of
Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things,
excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees.
The Board of the Funds retained the law
firm of Dickstein Shapiro LLP to represent
the Funds in each of the lawsuits described in
the preceding two paragraphs. Federated and
the Funds, and their respective counsel,
have been defending this litigation, and none of
the Funds remains a defendant in any
of the lawsuits (though some could potentially
receive any recoveries as nominal defendants).
Additional lawsuits based upon similar
allegations may be filed in the future.
The potential impact of these lawsuits,
all of which seek
unquantified damages, attorneys' fees,
and expenses, and future potential similar
suits is uncertain. Although we do not believe that
these lawsuits will have a material adverse
effect on the Funds, there can be no
assurance that these suits, ongoing
adverse publicity
and/or other developments resulting
from the regulatory investigations will
not result in increased Fund redemptions,
reduced sales of
Fund shares, or other adverse
consequences for the Funds.
