2 At November 30, 2002, 8.6% of the total investments at market value were subject to AMT.

3 The cost of investments for generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") is $154,592,783. Cost for federal tax purposes amounts to $154,591,081. The difference between cost for GAAP and cost on a tax basis is related to amortization/accretion tax elections on fixed income securities. The net unrealized appreciation of investments on a federal tax basis amounts to $7,580,268 which is comprised of $8,024,628 appreciation and $444,360 depreciation at November 30, 2002.

1 Beginning with the year ended May 31, 2000 the fund was audited by Ernst & Young LLP. Each of the previous years was audited by other auditors

2 Effective June 1, 2001, the fund adopted the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began accreting discount on debt securities. For the year ended May 31, 2002, this change had no effect on the net investment income per share, the net realized and unrealized gain/loss per share or the ratio of net investment income to average net assets. Per share, ratios and supplemental data for periods prior to June 1, 2001 have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation.

3 Based on NAV, which does not reflect the sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge, if applicable.

4 Computed on an annualized basis.

Notes to Financial Statements

November 30, 2002 (unaudited)

ORGANIZATION

Intermediate Municipal Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of one portfolio, Federated Intermediate Municipal Trust (the "Fund"). The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with GAAP.

Investment Valuation

Municipal bonds are valued by an independent pricing service, taking into consideration yield, liquidity, risk, credit quality, coupon, maturity, type of issue, and any other factors or market data the pricing service deems relevant. Short-term securities are valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Securities for which no quotations are readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees").

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All discounts/premiums are accreted/amortized for financial reporting purposes as required. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value.

Effective June 1, 2001, the Fund adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began accreting discount on debt securities. The cumulative effect of this accounting change had no impact on the total net assets of the Funds, but resulted in adjustments to the financial statements as follows:

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights for prior periods have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, (the "Code") applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal tax is necessary.

At May 31, 2002 the Fund, for federal tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $6,255,147, which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire as follows:

Expiration Year

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

Futures Contracts

The Fund purchases municipal bond index futures contracts to manage cash flows, enhance yield, and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a municipal bond index futures contract with a broker, the Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a "variation margin" account. Daily, the Fund receives from or pays to the broker a specified amount of cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. For the six months ended November 30, 2002, the Fund had no realized gains (losses) on future contracts.

At November 30, 2002, the Fund had no outstanding futures contracts.

Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer's expense either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Fund's restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Trustees.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT FUND DOCUMENT DELIVERY

In an effort to reduce costs and avoid duplicate mailings, the Fund(s) intend to deliver a single copy of certain documents to each household in which more than one shareholder of the Fund(s) resides (so-called "householding"), as permitted by applicable rules. The Fund's "householding" program covers its/their Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, and supplements to each, as well as Semi-Annual and Annual Reports and any Proxies or information statements. Shareholders must give their written consent to participate in the householding program. The Fund is also permitted to treat a shareholder as having given consent ("implied consent") if (i) shareholders with the same last name, or believed to be members of the same family, reside at the same street address or receive mail at the same post office box, (ii) the Fund gives notice of its intent to "household" at least sixty (60) days before it begins "householding" and (iii) none of the shareholde rs in the household have notified the Fund(s) or their agent of the desire to "opt out" of householding. Shareholders who have granted written consent, or have been deemed to have granted implied consent, can revoke that consent and opt out of householding at any time by calling 1-800-341-7400.
