Securities that are subject to alternative minimum tax represent 44.6% of the portfolio based upon total portfolio market value.

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

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

At April 30, 2002, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Tier Rating percentage Based on Total Market Value

First Tier

  

Second Tier

100.0%

 

0.0%

2 Denotes a restricted security which is subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. These securities have been deemed liquid based upon criteria approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. At April 30, 2002, these securities amounted to $23,915,000 which represents 8.2% of net assets.

3 Also represents cost for federal tax purposes.

Note: The categories of investments are shown as a percentage of net assets ($290,711,497) at April 30, 2002.

Notes to Financial Statements

April 30, 2002 (unaudited)

ORGANIZATION

Money Market Obligations Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust consists of 40 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Alabama Municipal Cash Trust (the "Fund"). The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax and the income taxes imposed by the State of Alabama consistent with stability of principal.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Investment Valuation

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

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All discounts/premiums are accreted/amortized as required. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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 October 31, 2001, the Fund, for federal tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $5,008, which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from the 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

  

Expiration Amount

2004

 

$4,678


2006

 

$  330


When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

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

Restricted Securities

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). At April 30, 2002, capital paid-in aggregated $290,711,497.

INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

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

Administrative Fee

Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on a scale that ranges from 0.150% to 0.075% of the average aggregate daily net assets of all funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., subject to a $125,000 minimum per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class.

Shareholder Services Fee

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

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

FServ, through its subsidiary FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. FSSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

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

Interfund Transactions

During the six months ended April 30, 2002, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $300,020,000 and $294,000,000, respectively.

General

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

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at April 30, 2002, 80.7% of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 10.2% of total investments.

Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.

This report is authorized for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by the fund's prospectus, which contains facts concerning its objective and policies, management fees, expense and other information.

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 shareholders 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.

96,900,279


Securities that are subject to alternative minimum tax represent 41.6% of the portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value.

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

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

At April 30, 2002, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Tier Rating Based on Total Market Value

First Tier

  

Second Tier

100.0%

 

0.0%

2 Denotes a restricted security which is subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. These securities have been deemed liquid based upon criteria approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. At April 30, 2002, these securities amounted to $7,790,000 which represents 8.0% of net assets.

3 Also represents cost for federal tax purposes.

Notes to Financial Statements

April 30, 2002 (unaudited)

ORGANIZATION

Money Market Obligations Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act") as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust consists of 40 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Arizona Municipal Cash Trust (the "Fund"). The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax and Arizona income taxes consistent with stability of principal and liquidity.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Investment Valuation

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

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All discounts/premiums are accreted/ amortized as required. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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 October 31, 2001, the Fund, for federal tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $1,024, 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

  

Expiration Amount

2007

   

$700


2009

   

$324


When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

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

Restricted Securities

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). At April 30, 2002, capital paid-in aggregated $97,318,281.

INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

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

Administrative Fee

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

Shareholder Services Fee

Under the terms of a Shareholder Services Agreement with Federated Shareholder Services Company ("FSSC"), the Fund will pay FSSC up to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Fund for the period. The fee paid to FSSC is used to finance certain services for shareholders and to maintain shareholder accounts.

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

FServ, through its subsidiary FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. FSSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

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

Interfund Transactions

During the six months ended April 30, 2002, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $146,904,000 and $134,378,192, respectively.

General

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

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at April 30, 2002, 60.9% of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 10.5% of total investments.

Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.

This report is authorized for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by the fund's prospectus, which contains facts concerning its objective and policies, management fees, expenses, and other information.

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 shareholders 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.

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

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

At April 30, 2002, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Tier Rating Based on Total Market Value

First Tier

  

Second Tier

100.0%

 

0.0%

2 Denotes a restricted security which is subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. These securities have been deemed liquid based upon criteria approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. At April 30, 2002, these securities amounted to $95,959,904 which represents 8.7% of net assets.

3 Also represents cost for federal tax purposes.

Note: The categories of investments are shown as a percentage of net assets ($1,104,964,448) at April 30, 2002.

Notes to Financial Statements

April 30, 2002 (unaudited)

ORGANIZATION

Money Market Obligations Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act") as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust consists of 40 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of California Municipal Cash Trust (the "Fund"). The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The Fund offers three classes of shares: Institutional Shares, Institutional Service Shares, and Cash II Shares. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax and the personal income taxes imposed by the State of California consistent with stability of principal.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Investment Valuations

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

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All discounts/premiums are accreted/amortized as required. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund offers multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the provisions of the 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 October 31, 2001, the Fund, for federal tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $23,830, 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

  

Expiration Amount

2007

 

$  379


2009

 

$23,451


When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

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

Restricted Securities

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value) for each class of shares. At April 30, 2002, capital paid in aggregated $1,104,964,448.

INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

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

Administrative Fee

Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on a scale that ranges from 0.150% to 0.075% of the average aggregate daily net assets of all funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., subject to a $125,000 minimum per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. ("FSC"), the principal distributor, from the net assets of the Fund to finance activities intended to result in the sale of the Fund's Cash II Shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses up to 0.20% of the average daily net assets of Cash II Shares, annually, to compensate FSC. FSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Shareholder Services Fee

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

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

FServ, through its subsidiary FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. FSSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

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

Interfund Transactions

During the six months ended April 30, 2002, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $893,390,000 and $696,775,000, respectively.

General

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

Concentration of Credit Risk

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at April 30, 2002, 72.6% of the securities in the portfolio of investments were backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 17.0% of total investments.

Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.

This report is authorized for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by the fund's prospectus, which contains facts concerning its objective and policies, management fees, expenses and other information.

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 shareholders 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.

299,748,301


Securities that are subject to AMT represent 13.7% of the portfolio as calculated based on total portfolio market value.

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

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

At April 30, 2002, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Tier Rating Based on Total Market Value

First Tier

  

Second Tier

100.0%

 

0.0%

2 Denotes a restricted security which is subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. These securities have been deemed liquid based upon criteria approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. At April 30, 2002, these securities amounted to $34,310,000 which represents 11.4% of net assets.

3 Also represents cost for federal tax purposes.

Notes to Financial Statements

April 30, 2002 (unaudited)

ORGANIZATION

Money Market Obligations Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust consists of 40 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Connecticut Municipal Cash Trust (the "Fund"), a non-diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax and Connecticut dividend and interest income tax consistent with stability of principal.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Investment Valuation

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

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All discounts/premiums are accreted/amortized as required. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

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

Restricted Securities

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). At April 30, 2002, capital paid-in aggregated $300,811,904.

INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

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

Administrative Fee

Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on a scale that ranges from 0.150% to 0.075% of the average aggregate daily net assets of all funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., subject to a $125,000 minimum per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class.

Shareholder Services Fee

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

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

FServ, through its subsidiary FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. FSSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

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

Interfund Transactions

During the six months ended April 30, 2002, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $200,075,000 and $145,674,902, respectively.

General

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

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at April 30, 2002, 50.9% of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 12.1% of total investments.

Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.

This report is authorized for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by the fund's prospectus, which contains facts concerning its objective and policies, management fees, expenses, and other information.

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 shareholders 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.

Securities that are subject to AMT represent 63.3% of the portfolio as calculated based on total portfolio market value.

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

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

At April 30, 2002, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Tier Rating Based on Total Market Value

First Tier

  

Second Tier

96.43%

 

3.57%

2 Denotes a restricted security, which is subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. These securities have been deemed liquid based upon criteria approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. At April 30, 2002, these securities amounted to $18,910,000, which represents 6.8% of net assets.

3 Also represents cost for federal tax purposes.

Note: The categories of investments are shown as a percentage of net assets ($278,480,647) at April 30, 2002.

Notes to Financial Statements

April 30, 2002 (unaudited)

ORGANIZATION

Money Market Obligations Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act") as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust consists of 40 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Florida Municipal Cash Trust (the "Fund"). The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and Cash II Shares. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax consistent with stability of principal and liquidity and to maintain an investment portfolio that will cause its shares to be exempt from the Florida state intangibles 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 generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

Investment Valuation

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

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All discounts/premiums are accreted/amortized as required. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds offer multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Funds based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; difference in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.

Federal Taxes

It is the 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 October 31, 2001, the Fund for federal tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $1,324, which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire in 2007.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

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

Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. 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 registered securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Board of Trustees ("Trustees"). The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. Restricted securities are valued at amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value) for each class of shares. At April 30, 2002, capital paid-in aggregated $278,480,647.

INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated Investment Management Company, the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Administrative Fee

Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on a scale that ranges from 0.150% to 0.075% of the average aggregate daily net assets of all funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., subject to a $125,000 minimum per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. ("FSC"), the principal distributor, from the net assets of the Fund to finance activities intended to result in the sale of the Fund's Institutional Shares and Class II Shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC.

Shareholder Services Fee

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

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

FServ, through its subsidiary FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. FSSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

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

Interfund Transactions

During the period ended April 30, 2002, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $990,257,000 and $1,069,260,000, respectively.

General

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

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at April 30, 2002, 44.2% of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 5.7% of total investments.

Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.

This report is authorized for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by the fund's prospectus, which contains facts concerning its objective and policies, management fees, expense, and other information.

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 shareholders 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.

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

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

At April 30, 2002, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Tier Rating Based on Total Market Value

First Tier

  

Second Tier

100.0%

 

0.0%

2 Denotes a restricted security which is subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. These securities have been deemed liquid based upon criteria approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. At April 30, 2002, these securities amounted to $56,950,000 which represents 10.0% of net assets.

3 Also represents cost for federal tax purposes.

Note: The categories of investments are shown as a percentage of net assets ($571,557,944) at April 30, 2002.

Notes to Financial Statements

April 30, 2002 (unaudited)

ORGANIZATION

Money Market Obligations Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust consists of 40 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated Tax-Free Trust (the "Fund"). The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide dividend income exempt from federal regular income tax while seeking relative stability of principal.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Investment Valuation

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

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All discounts/premium are accreted/amortized as required. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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 October 31, 2001, the Fund, for federal tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $21,289 which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire in 2006.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

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

Restricted Securities

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). At April 30, 2002, capital paid-in aggregated $571,569,239.

INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated Investment Management Company, the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser will waive, to the extent of its adviser fee, the amount, if any, by which the Fund's aggregate annual operating expenses exceed 0.45% of average daily net assets of the Fund.

Administrative Fee

Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on a scale that ranges from 0.150% to 0.075% of the average aggregate daily net assets of all funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., subject to a $125,000 minimum per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class.

Shareholder Services Fee

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

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

FServ, through its subsidiary FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. FSSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

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

Interfund Transactions

During the six months ended April 30, 2002, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $320,020,600 and $304,830,000, respectively.

General

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

Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.

This report is authorized for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by the fund's prospectus, which contains facts concerning its objective and policies, management fees, expenses, and other information.

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 shareholders 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.

Securities that are subject to AMT represent 44.5% of the portfolio as calculated based on portfolio market value.

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

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

At April 30, 2002, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Tier Rating Based on Total Market Value

First Tier

  

Second Tier

100.0%

 

0.0%

2 Denotes a restricted security which is subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. These securities have been deemed liquid based upon criteria approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. At April 30, 2002, these securities amounted to $48,830,000 which represents 12.0% of net assets.

3 Also represents cost for federal tax purposes.

Note: The categories of investments are shown as a percentage of net assets ($407,672,362) at April 30, 2002.

Notes to Financial Statements

April 30, 2002 (unaudited)

ORGANIZATION

Money Market Obligation Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust consists of 40 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Georgia Municipal Cash Trust (the "Fund"). The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax and the personal income tax imposed by the State of Georgia consistent with stability of principal and liquidity.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Investment Valuation

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

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All discounts/premiums are accreted/amortized as required. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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 October 31, 2001, the Fund, for federal tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $364, which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire in 2007.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

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

Restricted Securities

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). At April 30, 2002, capital paid-in aggregated $407,672,362.

INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

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

Administrative Fee

Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on a scale that ranges from 0.150% to 0.075% of the average aggregate daily net assets of all funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., subject to a $125,000 minimum per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class.

Shareholder Services Fee

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

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

FServ, through its subsidiary FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. FSSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

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

Interfund Transactions

During the period ended April 30, 2002, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $292,870,000 and $333,905,000, respectively.

General

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

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at April 30, 2002, 81.1% of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 10.6% of total investments.

Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.

This report is authorized for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by the fund's prospectus, which contains facts concerning its objective and policies, management fees, expense and other information.

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 shareholders 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.

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

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

At April 30, 2002, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

TIER RATING BASED ON TOTAL MARKET VALUE

First Tier      Second Tier
100.00%   0.00%

(2) Denotes a restricted security which is subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. These securities have been deemed liquid based upon criteria approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. At April 30, 2002, these securities amounted to $61,599,000 which represents 7.5% of net assets.

(3) Also represents cost for federal tax purposes.

MASSACHUSETTS MUNICIPAL CASH TRUST
N
OTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

April 30, 2002 (unaudited)

(1) ORGANIZATION

Money Market Obligations Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust consists of 40 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Massachusetts Municipal Cash Trust (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The Fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Service Shares and Galaxy-BKB Shares. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax and Massachusetts state income tax consistent with stability of principal.

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Investment Valuation

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

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All discounts/premiums are accreted/amortized as required. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund offers multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the provisions of the 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 October 31, 2001, the Fund, for federal tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $5,315, 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 this will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire in 2007.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

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

Restricted Securities

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

(3) SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

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

At April 30, 2002, capital paid-in aggregated $821,347,151.

Transactions in shares were as follows:

       Six Months

OTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(4) INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

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

Administrative Fee

Federated Services Company (“FServ”), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on a scale that ranges from 0.150% to 0.075% of the average aggregate daily net assets of all funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., subject to a $125,000 minimum per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class.

Shareholder Service Fee

Under the terms of a Shareholder Service Agreement with Federated Shareholder Services Company (“FSSC”), the Fund will pay FSSC up to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Institutional Service Shares for the period. Under the terms of a Shareholder Services Agreement with Fleet National Bank, the Fund will pay Fleet National Bank, up to 0.25% of average daily net assets of Galaxy-BKB Shares for the period. These fees are used to finance certain services for shareholders and to maintain shareholder accounts. FSSC and Fleet National Bank may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of their fees. FSSC and Fleet National Bank can modify or terminate these voluntary waivers at any time at their sole discretion.

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

FServ, through its subsidiary FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type, and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. FSSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

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

Interfund Transactions

During the six months ended April 30, 2002, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $417,394,144 and $346,785,000, respectively.

General

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

(5) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at April 30, 2002, 59.5% of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 16.7% of total investments.

Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including possible loss of principal.

This report is authorized for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by the Fund’s prospectus which contains facts concerning its objective and policies, management fees, expenses and other information.

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, (ii) the Fund gives notice of its intent to “household” at least sixty (60) days before it begins “householding” and (iii) if none of the shareholders 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.

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

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

Notes to Financial Statements

April 30, 2002 (unaudited)

ORGANIZATION

Money Market Obligations Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust consists of 40 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Massachusetts Municipal Cash Trust (the "Fund"). The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The Fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Service Shares and Galaxy-BKB Shares. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax and Massachusetts state income tax consistent with stability of principal.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Investment Valuation

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

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All discounts/premiums are accreted/amortized as required. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund offers multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the provisions of the 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 October 31, 2001, the Fund, for federal tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $5,315, 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 this will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire in 2007.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

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

Restricted Securities

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

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

At April 30, 2002, capital paid-in aggregated $821,347,151.

INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Administrative Fee

Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on a scale that ranges from 0.150% to 0.075% of the average aggregate daily net assets of all funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., subject to a $125,000 minimum per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class.

Shareholder Service Fee

Under the terms of a Shareholder Service Agreement with Federated Shareholder Services Company ("FSSC"), the Fund will pay FSSC up to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Institutional Service Shares for the period. Under the terms of a Shareholder Services Agreement with Fleet National Bank, the Fund will pay Fleet National Bank, up to 0.25% of average daily net assets of Galaxy-BKB Shares for the period. These fees are used to finance certain services for shareholders and to maintain shareholder accounts. FSSC and Fleet National Bank may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of their fees. FSSC and Fleet National Bank can modify or terminate these voluntary waivers at any time at their sole discretion.

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

FServ, through its subsidiary FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. FSSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

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

Interfund Transactions

During the six months ended April 30, 2002, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $417,394,144 and $346,785,000, respectively.

General

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

Concentration of Credit Risk

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at April 30, 2002, 59.5% of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 16.7% of total investments.

Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.

This report is authorized for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by the fund's prospectus, which contains facts concerning its objective and policies, management fees, expenses and other information.

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 shareholders 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.

TOTAL INVESTMENTS (AT AMORTIZED COST)3

   

$

105,162,589


Securities that are subject to AMT represent 47.1% of the portfolio as calculated based on total portfolio market value.

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

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

At April 30, 2002, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Tier Rating Based on Total Market Value

First Tier

  

Second Tier

100.0%

 

0.0%

2 Denotes a restricted security which is subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. This security has been deemed liquid based on criteria approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. At April 30, 2002, this security amounted to $5,330,000 which represents 5.0% of net assets.

3 Also represents cost for federal tax purposes.

Note: The categories of investments are shown as a percentage of net assets ($106,074,710) at April 30, 2002.

Notes to Financial Statements

April 30, 2002 (unaudited)

ORGANIZATION

Money Market Obligations Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act") as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust consists of 40 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Maryland Municipal Cash Trust (the "Fund"). The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The investment objective of the Fund is current income exempt from federal regular income tax and the personal income taxes imposed by the State of Maryland and Maryland municipalities consistent with stability of principal and liquidity.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Investment Valuation

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

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All discounts/premiums are accreted/ amortized as required. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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 October 31, 2001, the Fund for federal tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $1,519, which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire in 2007.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

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

Restricted Securities

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). At April 30, 2002, capital paid-in aggregated $106,074,710.

INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

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

Administrative Fee

Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on a scale that ranges from 0.150% to 0.075% of the average aggregate daily net assets of all funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., subject to a $125,000 minimum per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class.

Shareholder Services Fee

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

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

Fserv, through its subsidiary FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. FSSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

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

Interfund Transactions

During the period ended April 30, 2002, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $152,585,000 and $142,605,000, respectively.

General

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

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at April 30, 2002, 73.7% of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 15.8% of total investments.

Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.

This report is authorized for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by the fund's prospectus, which contains facts concerning its objective and policies, management fees, expenses, and other information.

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 shareholders 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.

Securities that are subject to alternative minimum tax represent 43.8% of the portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value.

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

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

At April 30, 2002, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Tier Rating Based in Total Market Value

First Tier

  

Second Tier

99.7%

 

0.3%

2 Denotes a restricted security which is subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. These securities have been deemed liquid based upon criteria approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. At April 30, 2002, these securities amounted to $26,755,000 which represents 8.9% of net assets.

3 Also represents cost for federal tax purposes.

Note: The categories of investments are shown as a percentage of net assets ($301,409,215) at April 30, 2002.

Notes to Financial Statements

April 30, 2002 (unaudited)

ORGANIZATION

Money Market Obligations Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust consists of 40 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Michigan Municipal Cash Trust (the "Fund"). The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The Fund offers three classes of shares: Institutional Services Shares, Institutional Shares and Cash II Shares. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax and the personal income tax imposed by the State of Michigan consistent with the stability of principal and liquidity.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Investment Valuation

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

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All discounts/premiums are accreted/amortized for financial reporting purposes as required. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund offers multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the provisions of the 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 October 31, 2001, the Fund, for federal tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $1,873, 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 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

  

Expiration Amount

2005

   

$1,873


When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

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

Restricted Securities

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

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

At April 30, 2002, capital paid in aggregated $301,409,215.

INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

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

Administrative Fee

Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on a scale that ranges from 0.150% to 0.075% of the average aggregate daily net assets of all funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., subject to a $125,000 minimum per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class.

Distribution Service Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. ("FSC"), the principal distributor, from the net assets of the Fund to finance activities intended to result in the sale of the Fund's Cash II Shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Cash II Shares annually to compensate FSC. FSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Shareholder Services Fee

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

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

FServ, through its subsidiary FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. FSSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

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

Interfund Transactions

During the six months ended April 30, 2002, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $148,524,000 and $208,932,000, respectively.

General

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

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at April 30, 2002, 77.2% of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 9.5% of total investments.

Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.

This report is authorized for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by the fund's prospectus, which contains facts concerning its objective and policies, management fees, expenses, and other information.

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 shareholders 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.

TOTAL INVESTMENTS (AT AMORTIZED COST)3

   

$

580,124,135


Securities that are subject to alternative minimum tax represent 32.5% of the portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value.

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

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

At April 30, 2002, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Tier Rating Based in Total Market Value

First Tier

  

Second Tier

100.0%

 

0.00%

2 Denotes a restricted security which is subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. These securities have been deemed liquid based upon criteria approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. At April 30, 2002, these securities amounted to $15,435,000 which represents 2.6% of net assets.

3 Also represents cost for federal tax purposes.

Note: The categories of investments are shown as a percentage of net assets ($582,473,552) at April 30, 2002.

Notes to Financial Statements

April 30, 2002 (unaudited)

ORGANIZATION

Money Market Obligations Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act") as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust consists of 40 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Minnesota Municipal Cash Trust (the "Fund"). The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The Fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and Cash Series Shares. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax and the regular personal income tax imposed by the State of Minnesota consistent with stability of principal.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Investment Valuation

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

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All discounts/premiums are accreted/amortized as required. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund offers multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the provisions of the 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.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

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

Restricted Securities

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

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.

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

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

At April 30, 2002, capital paid-in aggregated $582,473,552.

INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated Investment Management Company, the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Administrative Fee

Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on a scale that ranges from 0.150% to 0.075% of the average aggregate daily net assets of all funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., subject to a $125,000 minimum per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. ("FSC"), the principal distributor, from the net assets of the Fund to finance activities intended to result in the sale of the Fund's Cash Series Shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Cash Series Shares, annually, to compensate FSC. FSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Shareholder Services Fee

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

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

FServ, through its subsidiary FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. FSSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fees. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

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

Interfund Transactions

During the six months ended April 30, 2002, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $426,535,000 and $483,405,000, respectively.

General

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

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at April 30, 2002, 46.4% of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 10.7% of total investments.

Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.

This report is authorized for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by the fund's prospectus, which contains facts concerning its objective and policies, management fees, expenses, and other information.

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 shareholders 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.

Securities that are subject to alternative minimum tax represent 42.1% of the portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value.

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

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

At April 30, 2002, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Tier Rating Based on Total Market Value

First Tier

  

Second Tier

100.0%

 

0.0%

2 Denotes a restricted security which is subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. These securities have been deemed liquid based upon criteria approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. At April 30, 2002, these securities amounted to $82,419,000 which represents 22.1% of net assets.

3 Also represents cost for federal tax purposes.

Note: The categories of investments are shown as a percentage of net assets ($373,290,808) at

Notes To Financial Statements

April 30, 2002 (unaudited)

ORGANIZATION

Money Market Obligations Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust consists of 40 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of North Carolina Municipal Cash Trust (the "Fund"). The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax and the income tax imposed by the State of North Carolina consistent with stability of principal.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Investment Valuation

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

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All discounts/premiums are accreted/amortized for financial reporting purposes as required. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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 October 31, 2001, the Fund, for federal tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $88 which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire in 2005.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

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

Restricted Securities

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

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). At April 30, 2002, paid in capital aggregated $373,290,808.

INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

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

Administrative Fee

Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Funds with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on a scale that ranges from 0.150% to 0.075% of the average aggregate daily net assets of all funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., subject to a $125,000 minimum per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class.

Shareholder Services Fee

Under the terms of a Shareholder Services Agreement with Federated Shareholder Services Company ("FSSC"), the Fund will pay FSSC up to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Fund for the period. The fee paid to FSSC is used to finance certain services for shareholders and to maintain shareholder accounts.

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

FServ, through its subsidiary FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. FSSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntarily waiver at anytime at its sole discretion.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

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

Interfund Transactions

During the period ended April 30, 2002, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $189,100,000 and $245,135,000 respectively.

General

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

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers in that state than would a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at April 30, 2002, 74.5% of the securities in the portfolio of investments were backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 14.6% of total investments.

Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.

This report is authorized for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by the fund's prospectus, which contains facts concerning its objective and policies, management fees, expenses and other information.

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 shareholders 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.

Securities that are subject to AMT represent 25.2% of the portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value.

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

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

At April 30, 2002, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Tier Rating Based on Total Market Value

First Tier

  

Second Tier

95.09%

 

4.91%

2 Denotes a restricted security which is subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. This security has been deemed liquid based upon criteria approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. At April 30, 2002, this security amounted to $1,995,000 which represents 0.8% of net assets.

3 Also represents cost for federal tax purposes.

Note: The categories of investments are shown as a percentage of net assets ($260,595,305) at April 30, 2002.

Notes to Financial Statements

April 30, 2002 (unaudited)

ORGANIZATION

Money Market Obligations Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust consists of 40 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of the New Jersey Municipal Cash Trust (the "Fund"). The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The Fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and Institutional Service Shares. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax and the New Jersey state income tax imposed upon non-corporate taxpayers consistent with stability of principal.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Investment Valuation

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

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All discounts/premiums are accreted/amortized as required. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund offers multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.

Federal Taxes

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

At October 31, 2001, the Fund, for federal tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $321, which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire in 2005.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

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

Restricted Securities

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

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

At April 30, 2002, capital paid-in aggregated $260,595,305.

INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated Investment Management Company, the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Administrative Fee

Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Funds with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on a scale that ranges from 0.150% to 0.075% of the average aggregate daily net assets of all funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., subject to a $125,000 minimum per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. ("FSC"), the principal distributor, from the net assets of the Fund to finance activities intended to result in the sale of the Fund's Institutional Service Shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Service Shares, annually, to compensate FSC. FSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Shareholder Services Fee

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

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

FServ, through its subsidiary FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. FSSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

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

Interfund Transactions

During the period ended April 30, 2002, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $221,535,000 and $235,365,000, respectively.

General

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

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at April 30, 2002, 67.6% of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 8.9% of total investments.

Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.

This report is authorized for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by the fund's prospectus, which contains facts concerning its objective and policies, management fees, expense and other information.

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 shareholders 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.

TOTAL INVESTMENTS (AT AMORTIZED COST)3

   

$

1,225,430,877


Securities that are subject to Alternative Minimum Tax represent 17.4% of the portfolio as calculated based on total portfolio market value.

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

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

At April 30, 2002, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Tier Rating Based in Total Market Value

First Tier

  

Second Tier

91.6%

 

8.4%

2 Denotes a restricted security which is subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. These securities have been deemed liquid based upon criteria approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. At April 30, 2002, these securities amounted to $61,762,000, which represents 5.0% of net assets.

3 Also represents cost for federal tax purposes.

Note: The categories of investments are shown as a percentage of net assets ($1,227,444,637) at April 30, 2002.

Notes to Financial Statements

April 30, 2002 (unaudited)

ORGANIZATION

Money Market Obligations Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust consists of 40 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of New York Municipal Cash Trust (the "Fund"). The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The Fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Service Shares and Cash II Shares. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax and the personal income taxes imposed by New York State and New York Municipalities consistent with stability of principal.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Investment Valuation

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

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All discounts/premiums are accreted/amortized as required. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund offers multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the provisions of the 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 October 31, 2001, the Fund, for federal tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $482, which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire in 2007.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

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

Restricted Securities

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

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.

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

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

At April 30, 2002, capital paid-in aggregated $1,227,444,637.

INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated Investment Management Company, the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Administrative Fee

Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on a scale that ranges from 0.150% to 0.075% of the average aggregate daily net assets of all funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., subject to a $125,000 minimum per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. ("FSC"), the principal distributor, from the net assets of the Fund to finance activities intended to result in the sale of the Fund's Shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund, annually, to compensate FSC. FSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Shareholder Services Fee

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

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

FServ, through its subsidiary FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type, and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. FSSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fees. FSSC can modify or terminate this waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

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

Interfund Transactions

During the six months ended April 30, 2002, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $619,395,000 and $613,510,000, respectively.

General

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

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at April 30, 2002, 56.0% of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 7.9% of total investments.

Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.

This report is authorized for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by the fund's prospectus, which contains facts concerning its objective and policies, management fees, expenses, and other information.

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 shareholders 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.

Securities that are subject to alternative minimum tax represent 54.4% of the portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value.

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

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

At April 30, 2002, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Tier Rating Based on Total Market Value

First Tier

  

Second Tier

100.0%

 

0.00%

2 Denotes a restricted security which is subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. These securities have been deemed liquid based upon criteria approved by the Fund's Board of Directors. At April 30, 2002, these securities amounted to $3,535,000 which represents 1.1% of net assets.

3 Also represents cost for federal tax purposes.

Note: The categories of investments are shown as a percentage of net assets ($323,578,787) at April 30, 2002.

Notes to Financial Statements

April 30, 2002 (unaudited)

ORGANIZATION

Money Market Obligations Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust consists of 40 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Ohio Municipal Cash Trust (the "Fund"). The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The Fund offers three classes of shares: Institutional Shares, Institutional Service Shares and Cash II Shares. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax and the personal income taxes imposed by the State of Ohio and Ohio municipalities consistent with stability of principal.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Investment Valuation

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

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All discounts/premiums are accreted/amortized as required. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund offers multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the provisions of the 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.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

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

Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. In some cases, the restricted securities may be resold without registration upon exercise of a demand feature. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Board of Trustees ("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 the 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.

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value) for each class of shares. At April 30, 2002, capital paid-in aggregated $323,578,787.

INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated Investment Management Company, the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment Adviser fee equal to 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Administrative Fee

Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on a scale that ranges from 0.150% to 0.075% of the average aggregate daily net assets of all funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., subject to a $125,000 minimum per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. ("FSC"), the principal distributor, from the net assets of the Fund to finance activities intended to result in the sale of the Fund's Cash II shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses up to 0.30% of the average daily net assets of Cash II Shares, annually, to compensate FSC. FSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Shareholder Services Fee

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

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

FServ, through its subsidiary FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. FSSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

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

Interfund Transactions

During the period ended April 30, 2002, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $225,265,000 and $267,315,000, respectively.

General

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

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at April 30, 2002, 65.2% of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 10.5% of total investments.

Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.

This report is authorized for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by the fund's prospectus, which contains facts concerning its objective and policies, management fees, expenses and other information.

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 shareholders 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.

$

511,149,323


Securities that are subject to alternative minimum tax represent 51.9% of the portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value.

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

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

At April 30, 2002, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Tier Rating Based in Total Market Value

First Tier

Second Tier

98.7%

 

1.3%

2 Denotes a restricted security which is subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. These securities have been deemed liquid based upon criteria approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. At April 30, 2002, these securities amounted to $17,790,000 which represents 3.5% of net assets.

3 Also represents cost for federal tax purposes.

Note: The categories of investments are shown as a percentage of net assets ($513,033,453) at April 30, 2002.

Notes to Financial Statements

April 30, 2002 (unaudited)

ORGANIZATION

Money Market Obligations Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust consists of 40 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Trust (the "Fund"), a non-diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The Fund offers three classes of shares: Institutional Shares, Institutional Service Shares and Cash Series Shares. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax and the personal income taxes imposed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania consistent with stability of principal.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Investment Valuation

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

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All discounts/premiums are accreted/amortized as required. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund offers multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the fund based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.

Federal Taxes

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

At October 31, 2001, the Fund, for federal tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $1,558, 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

  

Expiration Amount

2005

 

$1,470


2009

 

$  88


When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

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

Restricted Securities

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

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

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

At April 30, 2002, capital paid-in aggregated $513,033,453.

INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

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

Administrative Fee

Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on a scale that ranges from 0.150% to 0.075% of the average aggregate daily net assets of all funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., subject to a $125,000 minimum per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. ("FSC"), the principal distributor, from the net assets of the Fund to finance activities intended to result in the sale of the Fund's Cash Series Shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses up to 0.40% of the average daily net assets of the Cash Series Shares, annually, to compensate FSC. FSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Shareholder Services Fee

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

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

FServ, through its subsidiary FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. FSSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

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

Interfund Transactions

During the period ended April 30, 2002, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $255,465,000 and $313,920,000, respectively.

General

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

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at April 30, 2002, 69.0% of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 11.8% of total investments.

Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.

This report is authorized for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by the fund's prospectus, which contains facts concerning its objective and policies, management fees, expenses, and other information.

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 shareholders 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.

Securities that are subject to alternative minimum tax represent 51.6% of the portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value.

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

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

At April 30, 2002, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Tier Rating Based on Total Market Value

First Tier

  

Second Tier

99.0%

 

1.0%

2 Denotes a restricted security which is subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. These securities have been deemed liquid based upon criteria approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. At April 30, 2002, these securities amounted to $24,490,000 which represents 6.8% of net assets.

3 Also represents cost for federal tax purposes.

Note: The categories of investments are shown as a percentage of net assets ($358,111,093) at April 30, 2002.

Notes to Financial Statements

April 30, 2002 (unaudited)

ORGANIZATION

Money Market Obligations Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust consists of 40 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Virginia Municipal Cash Trust (the "Fund"). The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The Fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and Institutional Service Shares. The investment objective of the Fund is current income exempt from federal regular income tax and income tax imposed by the Commonwealth of Virginia consistent with stability of principal.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Investment Valuation

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

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All discounts/premiums are accreted/amortized as required. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund offers multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the provisions of the 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 October 31, 2001, the Fund, for federal tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $740, which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire in 2004.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

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

Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. In some cases, the restricted securities may be resold without registration upon exercise of a demand feature. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Board of Trustees ("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 the 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.

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value) for each class of shares. At April 30, 2002, capital paid-in aggregated $358,111,093.

INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated Investment Management Company, the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment Adviser fee equal to 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Administrative Fee

Federated Services Company ("FServ"), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is based on a scale that ranges from 0.150% to 0.075% of the average aggregate daily net assets of all funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., subject to a $125,000 minimum per portfolio and $30,000 per each additional class.

Shareholder Services Fee

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

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

FServ, through its subsidiary FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. FSSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

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

Interfund Transactions

During the period ended April 30, 2002, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $376,595,000 and $357,825,000, respectively.

General

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

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at April 30, 2002, 62.9% of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 10.2% of total investments.

Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.

This report is authorized for distribution to prospective investors only when preceded or accompanied by the fund's prospectus, which contains facts concerning its objective and policies, management fees, expenses, and other information.

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 shareholders 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.
