See Notes which are an integral part of the Financial Statements

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

2 Percentages are based on total investments, which may differ from the Fund's total net assets used in computing the percentages in the Portfolio of Investments which follows.

3 These tables depict the short-term, credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund's portfolio holdings by Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), each of which is a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the one identified have been included in the "Not rated by..." category. Rated securities include a security with an obligor and/or credit enhancer that has received a rating from an NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations that is comparable in priority and security with the security held by the Fund. Credit quality ratings are an assessment of the risk that a security will default in payment and do not address other risks presented by the security. Please see the description of credit quality ratings in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

These tables depict the short-term, credit-quality ratings as assigned only by the NRSRO identified in each table. Of the portfolio's total investments, 2.3% do not have short-term ratings by either of these NRSROs.

4 The ratings A-1+, A-1 and A-2 include municipal notes rated SP-1+, SP-1 and SP-2, respectively.

5 The ratings Prime-1 and Prime-2 include municipal notes rated MIG-1 and MIG-2, and variable rate demand instruments rated VMIG-1 and VMIG-2, respectively.

6 Effective maturity is determined in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which regulates money market mutual funds.

Securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) represent 30.5% of the portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value (percentage is unaudited).

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 Ratings, 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 October 31 2004, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Tier Rating Percentages Based on Total Market Value

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2004

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 41 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.

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) in the United States of America.

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. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. For the year ended October 31, 2004, all of the Fund's distributions were from tax-exempt income.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

At October 31, 2004, capital paid-in aggregated $308,934,487.

The following table summarizes share activity:

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended October 31, 2004 and 2003, was as follows:


   
2004
   
2003
Tax-exempt income

$2,166,448

$2,724,538

As of October 31, 2004, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income
   
$
132,965
Capital loss carryforward

$
3,008

At October 31, 2004, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $3,008 which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains 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
2010

$3,008

5. 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 Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

Maximum
Administrative Fee

   
Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets
of the Federated Funds

0.150%

on the first $5 billion
0.125%

on the next $5 billion
0.100%

on the next $10 billion
0.075%

on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FAS 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 the average daily net assets of the Fund's 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

Prior to July 1, 2004, Federated Services Company (FServ), through its subsidiary FSSC, served as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC was based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. The fee paid to FSSC during the reporting period was $39,403. after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

Prior to January 1, 2004, FServ maintained the Fund's accounting records for which it received a fee. The fee was based on the level of the Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The fee paid to FServ during the reporting period was $12,034, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended October 31, 2004, 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 $409,000,000 and $389,400,000, respectively.

General

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

6. 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 October 31, 2004, 90.0% 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 largest percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency was 12.0% of total investments.

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds") were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees, and seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and will respond appropriately. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these recent lawsuits and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from related regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Alabama Municipal Cash Trust (one of the portfolios constituting Money Market Obligations Trust), (the "Trust"), as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Alabama Municipal Cash Trust of Money Market Obligations Trust at October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal. Although money market funds seek to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, there is no assurance that they will be able to do so.

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.

See Notes which are an integral part of the Financial Statements

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

2 Percentages are based on total investments, which may differ from the Fund's total net assets used in computing the percentages in the Portfolio of Investments which follows.

3 These tables depict the short-term credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund's portfolio holdings by Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), each of which is a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the one identified have been included in the "Not rated by..." category. Rated securities include a security with an obligor and/or credit enhancer that has received a rating from an NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations that is comparable in priority and security with the security held by the Fund. Credit quality ratings are an assessment of the risk that a security will default in payment and do not address other risks presented by the security. Please see the description of credit quality ratings in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

These tables depict the short-term credit-quality ratings as assigned only by the NRSRO identified in each table. Of the portfolio's total investments, 3.4% do not have short-term ratings by either of these NRSROs.

4 The ratings A-1+, A-1 and A-2 include municipal notes rated SP-1+, SP-1 and SP-2, respectively.

5 The ratings Prime-1 and Prime-2 include municipal notes rated MIG-1 and MIG-2, and variable rate demand instruments rated VMIG-1 and VMIG-2, respectively.

6 Effective maturity is determined in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which regulates money market mutual funds.

Securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) represent 42.7% of the portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value (percentage is unaudited).

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 Ratings 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 October 31, 2004, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2004

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 41 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.

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) in the United States of America.

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. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. For the year ended October 31, 2004, all of the Fund's distributions were from tax-exempt income.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified basis.

3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

At October 31, 2004, capital paid-in aggregated $58,032,485.

At October 31, 2004, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $503 which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains 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:

5. 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 Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provided the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

Maximum
Administrative Fee

   
Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets
of the Federated Funds

0.150%

on the first $5 billion
0.125%

on the next $5 billion
0.100%

on the next $10 billion
0.075%

on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FAS 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 the average daily net assets of the Fund's 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

Prior to July 1, 2004, Federated Services Company (FServ) through its subsidiary FSSC, served as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC was based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. The fee paid to FSSC during the reporting period was $24,949, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

Prior to January 1, 2004, FServ maintained the Fund's accounting records for which it received a fee. The fee was based on the level of the Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The fee paid to FServ during the reporting period was $6,636, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended October 31, 2004, 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 $182,609,000 and $190,880,000, respectively.

General

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

6. 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 October 31, 2004, 78.2% of the securities in the portfolio of investments is backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The largest percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency was 12.5% of total investments.

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds") were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees, and seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and will respond appropriately. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these recent lawsuits and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from related regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Arizona Municipal Cash Trust (one of the portfolios constituting Money Market Obligations Trust), (the "Trust"), as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Arizona Municipal Cash Trust of Money Market Obligations Trust at October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

2 Percentages are based on total investments, which may differ from the Fund's total net assets used in computing the percentages in the Portfolio of Investments which follows.

3 These tables depict the short-term, credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund's portfolio holdings by Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), each of which is a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the one identified have been included in the "Not rated by..." category. Rated securities include a security with an obligor and/or credit enhancer that has received a rating from an NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations that is comparable in priority and security with the security held by the Fund. Credit-quality ratings are an assessment of the risk that a security will default in payment and do not address other risks presented by the security. Please see the description of credit-quality ratings in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

These tables depict the short-term, credit-quality ratings as assigned only by the NRSRO identified in each table. Of the portfolio's total investments, 3.4% do not have short-term ratings by either of these NRSROs.

4 The ratings A-1+, A-1, and A-2 include municipal notes rated SP-1+, SP-1, and SP-2, respectively.

5 The ratings Prime-1 and Prime-2 include municipal notes rated MIG-1 and MIG-2, and variable rate demand instruments rated VMIG-1 and VMIG-2, respectively.

6 Effective maturity is determined in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which regulates money market mutual funds.

At October 31, 2004, the Fund holds no securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT).

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 Ratings, 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 October 31, 2004, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

2 Denotes a restricted security, including securities purchased under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.

At October 31, 2004, these securities amounted to $676,115,386 which represents 55.4% of total net assets.

3 Denotes a restricted security, including securities purchased under Rule 144A that have been deemed liquid by criteria approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. At October 31, 2004, these securities amounted to $676,115,386 which represents 55.4% of total net assets.

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2004

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 41 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 Service 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 taxes imposed by the state of California 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) in the United States of America.

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, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. 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.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. For the year ended October 31, 2004, all of the Fund's distributions were from tax-exempt income.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

At October 31, 2004, capital paid-in aggregated $1,220,291,748.

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended October 31, 2004 and 2003, was as follows:


   
2004
   
2003

Undistributed tax-exempt income
   
$
356,657
Capital loss carryforward

$
74,831

At October 31, 2004, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $74,831 which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains 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

$21,135

5. 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 Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

Maximum
Administrative Fee

   
Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets
of the Federated Funds

0.150%

on the first $5 billion
0.125%

on the next $5 billion
0.100%

on the next $10 billion
0.075%

on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FAS can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

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 daily net assets of the Fund's Cash II Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of up to 0.20% of average daily net assets, 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 the average daily net assets of the Fund's Institutional Service Shares, Institutional Shares and Cash II 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

Prior to July 1, 2004 Federated Services Company (FServ), through its subsidiary FSSC, served as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC was based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. The fee paid to FSSC during the reporting period was $283,186, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

Prior to January 1, 2004, FServ maintained the Fund's accounting records for which it received a fee. The fee was based on the level of the Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The fee paid to FServ during the reporting period was $24,893, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended October 31, 2004, 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 1,499,391,530 and 1,415,670,000, respectively.

General

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

6. 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 October 31, 2004, 67.8% of the securities in the portfolio of investments is backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The largest percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency was 12.9% of total investments.

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds") were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees, and seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and will respond appropriately. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these recent lawsuits and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of California Municipal Cash Trust (one of the portfolios constituting Money Market Obligations Trust), (the "Trust"), as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of California Municipal Cash Trust of Money Market Obligations Trust at October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each periods indicate therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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. Although money market funds seek to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, there is no assurance that they will be able to do so.

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.

See Notes which are an integral part of the Financial Statements

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

2 Percentages are based on total investments, which may differ from the Fund's total net assets used in computing the percentages in the Portfolio of Investments which follows.

3 These tables depict the short-term credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund's portfolio holdings by
Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), each of which is a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the one identified have been included in the "Not rated by..." category. Rated securities include a security with an obligor and/or credit enhancer that has received a rating from an NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations that is comparable in priority and security with the security held by the Fund. Credit quality ratings are an assessment of the risk that a security will default in payment and do not address other risks presented by the security. Please see the description of credit quality ratings in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

These tables depict the short-term, credit-quality ratings as assigned only by the NRSRO identified in each table. Of the portfolio's total investments, 7.3% do not have short-term ratings by either of these NRSROs.

4 The ratings A-1+, A-1 and A-2 include municipal notes rated SP-1+, SP-1 and SP-2, respectively.

5 The ratings Prime-1 and Prime-2 include municipal notes rated MIG-1 and MIG-2, and variable rate demand instruments rated VMIG-1 and VMIG-2, respectively.

6 Effective maturity is determined in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which regulates money market mutual funds.

Securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) represent 11.5% of the portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value (percentage is unaudited).

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 Ratings, 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 October 31, 2004, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

2 Denotes a restricted security, including securities purchased under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.

At October 31, 2004, these securities amounted to $77,764,000 which
represents 29.7% of total net assets.

3 Denotes a restricted security, including securities purchased under Rule 144A that have been deemed
liquid by criteria approved by the fund's Board of Trustees. At October 31, 2004, these securities amounted to $77,764,000 which represents 29.7% of total net assets.

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2004

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 41 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Connecticut 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 Connecticut dividend and interest 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) in the United States of America.

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. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. For the year ended October 31, 2004, all of the Fund's distributions were from tax-exempt income.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

At October 31, 2004, capital paid-in aggregated $261,455,565.

The following table summarizes share activity:

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended October 31, 2004 and 2003, was as follows:


   
2004
   
2003
Tax-exempt income

$1,313,708

$1,556,890

As of October 31, 2004, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income
   
$
90,120
Capital loss carryforward

$
28,067

At October 31, 2004, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $28,067 which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains 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
2010

$ 7,043
2012

$21,024

5. 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 Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:


Maximum
Administrative Fee



   
Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets
of the Federated Funds

0.150%

on the first $5 billion
0.125%

on the next $5 billion
0.100%

on the next $10 billion
0.075%

on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FAS 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 the average daily net assets of the Fund's 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

Prior to July 1, 2004, Federated Services Company (FServ), through its subsidiary FSSC, served as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC was based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. The fee paid to FSSC during the reporting period was $43,633, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

Prior to January 1, 2004, FServ maintained the Fund's accounting records for which it received a fee. The fee was based on the level of the Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The fee paid to FServ during the reporting period was $11,394, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended October 31, 2004, 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 $423,595,000 and $388,568,693, respectively.

General

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

6. 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 October 31, 2004, 70.1% 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 largest percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency was 9.4% of total investments.

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds"), were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-
sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees, and seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and will respond appropriately. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these recent lawsuits and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from related regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Connecticut Municipal Cash Trust (one of the portfolios constituting Money Market Obligations Trust), (the "Trust"), as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Connecticut Municipal Cash Trust of Money Market Obligations Trust at October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

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. Although money market funds seek to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, there is no assurance that they will be able to do so.

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.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and\or shareholder services fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

2 Percentages are based on total investments, which may differ from the Fund's total net assets used in computing the percentages in the Portfolio of Investments which follows.

3 These tables depict the short-term, credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund's portfolio holdings by Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), each of which is a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO). Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the one identified have been included in the "Not rated by..." category. Rated securities include a security with an obligor and/or credit enhancer that has received a rating from an NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations that is comparable in priority and security with the security held by the Fund. Credit-quality ratings are an assessment of the risk that a security will default in payment and do not address other risks presented by the security. Please see the description of credit-quality ratings in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

These tables depict the short-term, credit-quality ratings as assigned only by the NRSRO identified in each table. Of the portfolio's total investments, 1.0% do not have short-term ratings by either of these NRSROs.

4 The ratings A-1+, A-1 and A-2 include municipal notes rated SP-1+, SP-1 and SP-2, respectively.

5 The ratings Prime-1 and Prime-2 include municipal notes rated MIG-1 and MIG-2, and variable rate demand instruments rated VMIG-1 and VMIG-2, respectively.

6 Effective maturity is determined in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which regulates money market mutual funds.

At October 31, 2004, the Fund holds no securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax ("AMT").

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 Ratings, 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 October 31, 2004, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Tier Rating Percentages Based on Total Market Value (unaudited)

First Tier
   
Second Tier
100.0%

0.00%

3 Denotes a restricted security, including securities purchased under Rule 144A that have been deemed liquid by criteria approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. At October 31, 2004, these securities amounted to $84,481,459 which represents 42.5% of total net assets.

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2004

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 41 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated Tax-Free Trust (the "Fund"), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The primary investment objective of the Fund is to provide dividend income exempt from federal regular income taxes while seeking relative 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) in the United States of America.

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. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. For the year ended October 31, 2004, all of the Fund's distributions were from tax exempt income.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

At October 31, 2004, capital paid-in aggregated $198,639,305.

The following table summarizes share activity:

Year Ended October 31

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended October 31, 2004 and 2003, was as follows:


   
2004
   
2003
Tax-exempt income

$1,967,140

$4,228,085

As of October 31, 2004, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income
   
$
132,963
Capital loss carryforward

$
4,689

At October 31, 2004, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $4,689 which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains 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 in 2006.

5. 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 the average daily net assets of the Fund.

Administrative Fee

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

Maximum Administrative Fee


   
Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets
of the Federated Funds

0.150%

on the first $5 billion
0.125%

on the next $5 billion
0.100%

on the next $10 billion
0.075%

on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FAS 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 the average daily net assets of the Fund's 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

Prior to July 1, 2004, Federated Services Company (FServ), through its subsidiary FSSC, served as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC was based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. The fee paid to FSSC during the reporting period was $13,336, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

Prior to January 1, 2004, FServ maintained the Fund's accounting records for which it received a fee. The fee was based on the level of the Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The fee paid to FServ during the reporting period was $11,907, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended October 31, 2004, 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 $353,198,693 and $370,665,000, respectively.

General

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

6. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds") were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees, and seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and will respond appropriately. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these recent lawsuits and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF MONEY MARKET OBLIGATIONS TRUST
AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED TAX-FREE TRUST:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments of Federated Tax-Free Trust (one of the portfolios constituting the Money Market Obligations Trust) (the "Fund") as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for the years ended October 31, 2003 and 2004, and the financial highlights for the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to provide reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of the securities owned at October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated Tax-Free Trust as of October 31, 2004 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for the respective stated periods in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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. Although money market funds seek to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, there is no assurance that they will be able to do so.

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.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 See the Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of these investments.

2 Percentages are based on total investments, which may differ from the Fund's total net assets used in computing the percentages in the Portfolio of Investments which follows.

3 These tables depict the short-term credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund's portfolio holdings by Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), each of which is a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the one identified have been included in the "Not rated by..." category. Rated securities include a security with an obligor and/or credit enhancer that has received a rating from an NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations that is comparable in priority and security with the security held by the Fund. Credit quality ratings are an assessment of the risk that a security will default in payment and do not address other risks presented by the security. Please see the description of credit quality ratings in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

These tables depict the short-term, credit-quality ratings as assigned only by the NRSRO identified in each table. Of the portfolio's total investments, 4.5% do not have short-term ratings by either of these NRSROs.

4 The ratings A-1+, A-1 and A-2 include municipal notes rated SP-1+, SP-1 and SP-2, respectively.

5 The ratings Prime-1 and Prime-2 include municipal notes rated MIG-1 and MIG-2, and variable rate demand instruments rated VMIG-1 and VMIG-2, respectively.

6 Effective maturity is determined in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which regulates money market mutual funds.

Securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) represent 46.6% of the portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value (percentage is unaudited).

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 Ratings, 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 October 31, 2004, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

3 Denotes a restricted security, including securities purchased under Rule 144A that have been deemed liquid by criteria approved by the fund's Board of Trustees. At October 31, 2004, these securities amounted to $209,751,500 which represents 58.3% of total net assets.

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2004

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 41 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.

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) in the United States of America.

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, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. 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.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. For the year ended October 31, 2004, all of the Fund's distributions were from tax-exempt income.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

At October 31, 2004, capital paid-in aggregated $360,026,126.

The following table summarizes share activity:

2004

Undistributed tax-exempt income
   
$
151,144
Capital loss carryforward

$
1,069

At October 31, 2004, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $1,069 which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains 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

$307

5. 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 fees. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Administrative Fee

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

Maximum
Administrative Fee



   
Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets
of the Federated Funds

0.150%

on the first $5 billion
0.125%

on the next $5 billion
0.100%

on the next $10 billion
0.075%

on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FAS can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

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 daily net assets of the Fund's Cash II Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these Shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses up to 0.25% of average daily net assets, 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 the average daily net assets of the Fund's Institutional Shares and Cash II 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

Prior to July 1, 2004, Federated Services Company (FServ), through its subsidiary FSSC, served as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC was based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. The fee paid to FSSC during the reporting period was $63,201, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

Prior to January 1, 2004, FServ maintained the Fund's accounting records for which it received a fee. The fee was based on the level of the Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The fee paid to FServ during the reporting period was $13,586, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended October 31, 2004, 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 $1,259,507,000 and $1,380,700,000, respectively.

General

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

6. 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 October 31, 2004, 57.1% of the securities in the portfolio of investments is backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The largest percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency was 13.0% of total investments.

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds") were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees, and seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and will respond appropriately. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these recent lawsuits and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Florida Municipal Cash Trust (one of the portfolios constituting Money Market Obligations Trust), (the "Trust"), as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Florida Municipal Cash Trust of Money Market Obligations Trust at October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal. Although money market funds seek to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, there is no assurance that they will be able to do so.

See Notes which are an integral part of the Financial Statements

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

2 Percentages are based on total investments, which may differ from the Fund's total net assets used in computing the percentages in the Portfolio of Investments which follows.

3 These tables depict the short-term, credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund's portfolio holdings by Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), each of which is a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the one identified have been included in the "Not rated by..." category. Rated securities include a security with an obligor and/or credit enhancer that has received a rating from an NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations that is comparable in priority and security with the security held by the Fund. Credit quality ratings are an assessment of the risk that a security will default in payment and do not address other risks presented by the security. Please see the description of credit quality ratings in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

These tables depict the short-term, credit-quality ratings as assigned only by the NRSRO identified in each table. Of the portfolio's total investments, 7.7% do not have short-term ratings by either of these NRSROs.

4 The ratings A-1+, A-1 and A-2 include municipal notes rated SP-1+, SP-1 and SP-2, respectively.

5 The ratings Prime-1 and Prime-2 include municipal notes rated MIG-1 and MIG-2, and variable rate demand instruments rated VMIG-1 and VMIG-2, respectively.

6 Effective maturity is determined in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which regulates money market mutual funds.

Securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) represent 43.6% of the portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value (percentage is unaudited).

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 Ratings, 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 October 31, 2004, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

3 Denotes a restricted security, including securities purchased under Rule 144A that have been deemed liquid by criteria approved by the fund's Board of Trustees. At October 31, 2004, these securities amounted to $135,840,000 which represents 29.1% of total net assets.

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2004

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 41 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 income tax imposed by the state of Georgia consistent with stability of principal and liquidity.

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) in the United States of America.

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. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. For the year ended October 31, 2004, all of the Fund's distributions were from tax-exempt income.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

At October 31, 2004, capital paid-in aggregated $466,696,105.

The following table summarizes share activity:

2004
   
2003

Undistributed tax-exempt income
   
$
65,455
Capital loss carryforward

$
494

At October 31, 2004, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $494 which will reduce the Fund's taxable come arising from future net realized gains 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

5. 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 Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

Maximum
Administrative Fee

   
Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets
of the Federated Funds

0.150%

on the first $5 billion
0.125%

on the next $5 billion
0.100%

on the next $10 billion
0.075%

on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FAS 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 the average daily net assets of the Fund's 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

Prior to July 1, 2004, Federated Services Company (FServ) through its subsidiary FSSC, served as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC was based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. The fee paid to FSSC during the reporting period was $39,542, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

Prior to January 1, 2004, FServ maintained the Fund's accounting records for which it received a fee. The fee was based on the level of the Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The fee paid to FServ during the reporting period was $14,241, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended October 31, 2004, 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 $712,474,514 and $739,995,000, respectively.

General

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

6. 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 October 31, 2004, 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 largest percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency was 13.5% of total investments.

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds") were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees, and seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and will respond appropriately. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these recent lawsuits and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from related regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Georgia Municipal Cash Trust (one of the portfolios constituting Money Market Obligations Trust), (the "Trust"), as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Georgia Municipal Cash Trust of Money Market Obligations Trust at October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk, including the possible loss of principal. Although money market funds seek to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, there is no assurance that they will be able to do so.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

    Beginning   Ending      
    Account Value      Account Value      Expenses Paid  
    5/1/2004   10/31/2004   During Period1

Galaxy-BKB Shares   $ 1,000   $ 1,022.12   $ 3.05  

 

 

 

 

(1) Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.60%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

(2) Percentages are based on total investments, which may differ from the Fund’s total net assets used in computing the percentages in the Portfolio of Investments which follows.
(3) These tables depict the short-term credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund’s portfolio holdings by Standard & Poor’s (S&P) and Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s), each of which is a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO). Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the one identified have been included in the “Not rated by…” category. Rated securities include a security with an obligor and/or credit enhancer that has received a rating from an NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations that is comparable in priority and security with the security held by the Fund. Credit quality ratings are an assessment of the risk that a security will default in payment and do not address other risks presented by the security. Please see the description of credit quality ratings in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.
  These tables depict the short-term credit-quality ratings as assigned only by the NRSRO identified in each table. Of the portfolio’s total investments, 7.2% do not have short-term ratings by either of these NRSROs.
(4) The ratings A-1+, A-1 and A-2 include municipal notes rated SP-1+, SP-1 and SP-2, respectively.
(5) The ratings Prime-1 and Prime-2 include municipal notes rated MIG-1 and MIG-2, and variable rate demand instruments rated VMIG-1 and VMIG-2, respectively.
(6) Effective maturity is determined in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which regulates money market mutual funds.

At October 31, 2004, the Fund holds no securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT).

(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 Ratings, 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 October 31, 2004, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

TIER RATING PERCENTAGE BASED ON TOTAL MARKET VALUE (unaudited)

First Tier   Second Tier

100.00%     0.00%

(2) Denotes a restricted security, including securities purchased under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities, unless registered under the Act or exempted from registration, may only be sold to qualified institutional investors. At October 31, 2004, these securities amounted to $148,556,976 which represents 49.9% of total net assets.
(3) Denotes a restricted security, including securities purchased under Rule 144A that have been deemed liquid by criteria approved by the fund’s Board of Trustees. At October 31, 2004, these securities amounted to $148,556,976 which represents 49.9% of total net assets.
(4) Also represents cost for federal tax purposes.

Note: The categories of investments are shown as a percentage of total net assets at October 31, 2004. The following acronyms are used throughout this portfolio:

AMBAC—American Municipal Bond Assurance Corporation
AMT—Alternative Minimum Tax BANs—Bond Anticipation Notes

FGIC—Financial Guaranty Insurance Company

MASSACHUSETTS MUNICIPAL CASH TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

October 31, 2004

(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 41 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 financial highlights of the Institutional Service Shares are presented separately. 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) in the United States of America.

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, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as transfer and dividend disbursing agent and shareholder services fees. 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.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. For the year ended October 31, 2004, all of the Fund’s distributions were from tax-exempt income.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

(3) SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

(4) FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended October 31, 2004 and 2003, was as follows:

    2004       2003
Tax-exempt income     $ 1,996,959        $ 4,213,027
     
   
                 
As of October 31, 2004, the components of distrib-
utable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:    
Undistributed tax-exempt income           $   119,149
               
Capital loss carryforward           $   5,315
               

At October 31, 2004, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $5,315 which will reduce the Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gains 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 in 2007.

(5) 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 Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

      Average Aggregate
Maximum     Daily Net Assets
Administrative Fee       of the Federated Funds
0.150%     on the first $5 billion
0.125%     on the next $5 billion
0.100%     on the next $10 billion
0.075%     on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FAS 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 the average daily net assets of the Fund’s 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 the Fund’s 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 its fee. FSSC and Fleet National Bank can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

Prior to July 1, 2004, Federated Services Company (FServ), through its subsidiary FSSC, served as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC was based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. The fee paid to FSSC during the reporting period was $62,722, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

Prior to January 1, 2004, FServ maintained the Fund’s accounting records for which it received a fee. The fee was based on the level of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The fee paid to FServ during the reporting period was $15,230, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended October 31, 2004, 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 $396,994,000 and $484,844,000, respectively.

General

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

(6) 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 October 31, 2004, 67.2% of the securities in the portfolio of investments is backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The largest percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency was 17.8% of total investments.

(7) LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, “Federated”), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated (“Funds”) were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and rule 12b-1 fees, and seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and will respond appropriately. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these recent lawsuits and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees of Money Market Obligations Trust and Shareholders of Massachusetts Municipal Cash Trust:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Massachusetts Municipal Cash Trust (one of the portfolios constituting Money Market Obligations Trust), (the “Trust”), as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Massachusetts Municipal Cash Trust of Money Market Obligations Trust at October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

See Notes which are an integral part of the Financial Statements

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

2 Percentages are based on total investments, which may differ from the Fund's total net assets used in computing the percentages in the Portfolio of Investments which follows.

3 These tables depict the short-term, credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund's portfolio holdings by Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), each of which is a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the one identified have been included in the "Not rated by..." category. Rated securities include a security with an obligor and/or credit enhancer that has received a rating from an NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations that is comparable in priority and security with the security held by the Fund. Credit-quality ratings are an assessment of the risk that a security will default in payment and do not address other risks presented by the security. Please see the description of credit quality ratings in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

These tables depict the short-term, credit-quality ratings as assigned only by the NRSRO identified in each table. Of the portfolio's total investments, 7.2% do not have short-term ratings by either of these NRSROs.

4 The ratings A-1+, A-1, and A-2 include municipal notes rated SP-1+, SP-1, and SP-2, respectively.

5 The ratings Prime-1 and Prime-2 include municipal notes rated MIG-1 and MIG-2, and variable rate demand instruments rated VMIG-1 and VMIG-2, respectively.

6 Effective maturity is determined in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which regulates money market mutual funds.

At October 31, 2004, the Fund holds no securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT).

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 Ratings, 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 October 31, 2004, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

2 Denotes a restricted security, including securities purchased under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities, unless registered under the Act or exempted from registration, may only be sold to qualified institutional investors. At October 31, 2004, these securities amounted to $148,556,976 which represents 49.9% of total net assets.

3 Denotes a restricted security, including securities purchased under Rule 144A that have been deemed liquid by criteria approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. At October 31, 2004, these securities amounted to $148,556,976 which represents 49.9% of total net assets.

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2004

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 41 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 financial highlights of the Galaxy-BKB Shares are presented separately. 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) in the United States of America.

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, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as transfer and dividend disbursing agent, and shareholder services fees. 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.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. For the year ended October 31, 2004, all of the Fund's distributions were from tax-exempt income.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

At October 31, 2004, capital paid-in aggregated $297,444,612.

2004

Undistributed tax-exempt income
   
$
119,149
Capital loss carryforward

$
5,315

At October 31, 2004, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $5,315 which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains 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 Amount

$5,315

5. 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 Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:


Maximum
Administrative Fee



   
Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets
of the Federated Funds

0.150%

on the first $5 billion
0.125%

on the next $5 billion
0.100%

on the next $10 billion
0.075%

on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FAS 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 the average daily net assets of the Fund's 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 the Fund's 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 its fee. FSSC and Fleet National Bank can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

Prior to July 1, 2004, Federated Services Company (FServ), through its subsidiary FSSC, served as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC was based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. The fee paid to FSSC during the reporting period was $62,722, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

Prior to January 1, 2004, FServ maintained the Fund's accounting records for which it received a fee. The fee was based on the level of the Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The fee paid to FServ during the reporting period was $15,230, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended October 31, 2004, 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 $396,994,000 and $484,844,000, respectively.

General

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

6. 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 October 31, 2004, 67.2% of the securities in the portfolio of investments is backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The largest percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency was 17.8% of total investments.

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds") were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees, and seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and will respond appropriately. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these recent lawsuits and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Massachusetts Municipal Cash Trust (one of the portfolios constituting Money Market Obligations Trust), (the "Trust"), as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Massachusetts Municipal Cash Trust of Money Market Obligations Trust at October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

See Notes which are an integral part of the Financial Statements

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 See the Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of these investments.

2 Percentages are based on total investments, which may differ from the Fund's total net assets used in computing the percentages in the Portfolio of Investments which follows.

3 These tables depict the short-term credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund's portfolio holdings by Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), each of which is a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO). Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the one identified have been included in the "Not rated by..." category. Rated securities include a security with an obligor and/or credit enhancer that has received a rating from an NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations that is comparable in priority and security with the security held by the Fund. Credit quality ratings are an assessment of the risk that a security will default in payment and do not address other risks presented by the security. Please see the description of credit quality ratings in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

These tables depict the short-term credit-quality ratings as assigned only by the NRSRO identified in each table. Of the portfolio's total investments, 5.8% do not have short-term ratings by either of these NRSROs.

4 The ratings A-1+, A-1 and A-2 include municipal notes rated SP-1+, SP-1 and SP-2, respectively.

5 The ratings Prime-1 and Prime-2 include municipal notes rated MIG-1 and MIG-2, and variable rate demand instruments rated VMIG-1 and VMIG-2, respectively.

6 Effective maturity is determined in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which regulates money market mutual funds.

Securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) represent 52.5% of the portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value (percentage is unaudited).

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 Ratings, 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 October 31, 2004, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

3 Denotes a restricted security, including securities purchased under Rule 144A that have been deemed liquid by criteria approved by the fund's Board of Trustees. At October 31, 2004, these securities amounted to $22,750,000 which represents 27.3% of total net assets.

Notes to Financial Statements

OCTOBER 31, 2004

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 41 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 to provide 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.

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) in the United States of America.

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. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. For the year ended October 31, 2004, all of the Fund's distributions were from tax-exempt income.

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. 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

5. 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 Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

Maximum Administrative Fee

   

Average Aggregate Daily Net
Assets of the Federated Funds


0.150%

 

on the first $5 billion


0.125%

 

on the next $5 billion


0.100%

 

on the next $10 billion


0.075%

 

on assets in excess of $20 billion


The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FAS 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 the average daily net assets of the Fund's 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

Prior to July 1, 2004, Federated Services Company (FServ), through its subsidiary FSSC, served as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC was based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. The fee paid to FSSC during the reporting period was $22,363, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

Prior to January 1, 2004, FServ maintained the Fund's accounting records for which it received a fee. The fee was based on the level of the Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The fee paid to FServ during the reporting period was $6,644, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended October 31, 2004, 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 $205,874,000 and $191,540,000, respectively.

General

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

6. 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 October 31, 2004, 70.5% of the securities in the portfolio of investments is backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The largest percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency was 19.4% of total investments.

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds") were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majori ty of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and rule 12b-1 fees, and seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and will respond appropriately. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these recent lawsuits and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from the related regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Maryland Municipal Cash Trust (one of the portfolios constituting Money Market Obligations Trust), (the "Trust"), as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Maryland Municipal Cash Trust of Money Market Obligations Trust at October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder
services fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 See the Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of these investments.

2 Percentages are based on total investments, which may differ from the Fund's total net assets used in computing the percentages in the Portfolio of Investments which follows.

3 These tables depict the short-term, credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund's portfolio holdings by Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), each of which is a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the one identified have been included in the "Not rated by..." category. Rated securities include a security with an obligor and/or credit enhancer that has received a rating from an NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations that is comparable in priority and security with the security held by the Fund. Credit quality ratings are an assessment of the risk that a security will default in payment and do not address other risks presented by the security. Please see the description of credit quality ratings in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

These tables depict the short-term credit-quality ratings as assigned only by the NRSRO identified in each table. Of the portfolio's total investments, 6.2% do not have short-term ratings by either of these NRSROs.

4 The ratings A-1+, A-1 and A-2 include municipal notes rated SP-1+, SP-1 and SP-2, respectively.

5 The ratings Prime-1 and Prime-2 include municipal notes rated MIG-1 and MIG-2, and variable rate demand instruments rated VMIG-1 and VMIG-2, respectively.

6 Effective maturity is determined in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which regulates money market mutual funds.

Securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) represent 47.4% of the portfolio as calculated based on total portfolio market value (percentage is unaudited).

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 Ratings, 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 October 31, 2004, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2004

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 41 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of the
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 two classes of shares: Institutional Service Shares and Institutional Shares. Prior to April 23, 2004, the Fund also offered Cash II Shares. The primary 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 stability of principal and liquidity.

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) in the United States of America.

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, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. 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.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. For the year ended October 31, 2004, all of the Fund's distributions were from tax-exempt income.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

At October 31, 2004, capital paid-in aggregated $240,971,702.

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended October 31, 2004 and 2003, was as follows:


   
2004
   
2003
Tax-exempt income

$1,930,934

$2,411,194

As of October 31, 2004, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were
as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income

$
75,120
Capital loss carryforward

$
9,200

At October 31, 2004, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $9,200 which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains 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 in 2010.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

Federated Invesment 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 Adivser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Administrative Fee

Federated Administrative Services (FAS) under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:


Maximum
Administrative Fee



   
Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets
of the Federated Funds

0.150%

on the first $5 billion
0.125%

on the next $5 billion
0.100%

on the next $10 billion
0.075%

on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FAS can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund compensated Federated Securities Corp. (FSC), the principal distributor, from the daily net assets of the Fund's Cash II Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of the these Shares. The Plan provided that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets, 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 the average daily net assets of the Fund's Institutional Service Shares, Institutional Shares and Cash II 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

Prior to July 1, 2004 Federated Services Company (FServ) through its subsidiary FSSC, served as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC was based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. The fee paid to FSSC during the reporting period was $120,255, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

Prior to January 1, 2004, FServ maintained the Fund's accounting records for which it received a fee. The fee was based on the level of the Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The fee paid to FServ during the reporting period was $15,418, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended October 31, 2004, 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 $370,143,000 and $412,228,000, respectively.

General

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

6. 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 October 31, 2004, 82.7% of the securities in the portfolio of investments is backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The largest percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency was 13.1% of total investments.

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds"), were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-
sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees, and seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and will respond appropriately. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these recent lawsuits and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from related regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Michigan Municipal Cash Trust (one of the portfolios constituting Money Market Obligations Trust), (the "Trust"), as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Michigan Municipal Cash Trust of Money Market Obligations Trust at October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods therein, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 See the Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of these investments.

2 Percentages are based on total investments, which may differ from the Fund's total net assets used in computing the percentages in the Portfolio of Investments which follows.

3 These tables depict the short-term credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund's portfolio holdings by Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), each of which is a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO). Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the one identified have been included in the "Not rated by..." category. Rated securities include a security with an obligor and/or credit enhancer that has received a rating from an NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations that is comparable in priority and security with the security held by the Fund. Credit quality ratings are an assessment of the risk that a security will default in payment and do not address other risks presented by the security. Please see the description of credit quality ratings in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

These tables depict the short-term credit-quality ratings as assigned only by the NRSRO identified in each table. Of the portfolio's total investments, 3.6% do not have short-term ratings by either of these NRSROs.

4 The ratings A-1+, A-1 and A-2 include municipal notes rated SP-1+, SP-1 and SP-2, respectively.

5 The ratings Prime-1 and Prime-2 include municipal notes rated MIG-1 and MIG-2, and variable rate demand instruments rated VMIG-1 and VMIG-2, respectively.

6 Effective maturity is determined in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which regulates money market mutual funds.

Securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) represent 48.2% of the portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value (percentage is unaudited).

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 Ratings, 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 October 31, 2004, the portfolio securities were rated as follows: Tier Rating Percentages Based on Total Market Value.

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2004

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 41 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.

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) in the United States of America.

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, Gains and Lossses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. 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.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. For the year ended October 31, 2004, all of the Fund's distributions were from tax-exempt income.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

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

Restricted Securities

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

At October 31, 2004, capital paid-in aggregated $437,265,539.

5. 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 and annual investment adviser fee equal to 0.40%. 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 Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

Maximum Administrative Fee

    

Average Aggregate Daily
Net Assets of the Federated Funds


0.150%

 

on the first $5 billion


0.125%

 

on the next $5 billion


0.100%

 

on the next $10 billion


0.075%

 

on assets in excess of $20 billion


The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FAS can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

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 daily net assets of the Fund's Cash Series shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of up to 0.50% of average daily net assets, 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 FSSC, the Fund will pay FSSC up to 0.25% of the 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

Prior to July 1, 2004 Federated Services Company (FServ), through its subsidiary FSSC, served as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC was based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. The fee paid to FSSC during the reporting period was $121,509, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

Prior to January 1, 2004, FServ maintained the Fund's accounting records for which it received a fee. The fee was based on the level of the Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The fee paid to FServ during the reporting period was $17,195, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended October 31, 2004, 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 $641,610,000 and $674,715,000, respectively.

General

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

6. 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 October 31, 2004, 61.9% of the securities in the portfolio of investments is backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The largest percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency was 11.5% of total investments.

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds") were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and rule 12b-1 fees, and seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and will respond appropriately. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these recent lawsuits and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Minnesota Municipal Cash Trust (one of the portfolios constituting Money Market Obligations Trust), (the "Trust"), as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Minnesota Municipal Cash Trust of Money Market Obligations Trust at October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and\or shareholder services fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

2 Percentages are based on total investments, which may differ from total net assets used in computing the percentages in the Portfolio of Investments which follows.

3 These tables depict the short-term credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund's portfolio holdings by Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), each of which is a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO). Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the one identified have been included in the "Not rated by..." category.

Rated securities include a security with an obligor and/or credit enhancer that has received a rating from an NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations that is comparable in priority and security with the security held by the Fund. Credit quality ratings are an assessment of the risk that a security will default in payment and do not address other risks presented by the security. Please see the description of credit quality ratings in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

These tables depict the short-term credit-quality ratings as assigned only by the NRSRO identified in each table. Of the portfolio's total investments, 25.0% do not have short-term ratings by either of these NRSROs.

4 The ratings A-1+, A-1 and A-2 include municipal notes rated SP-1+, SP-1 and SP-2, respectively.

5 The ratings Prime-1 and Prime-2 include municipal notes rated MIG-1 and MIG-2, and variable rate demand instruments rated VMIG-1 and VMIG-2, respectively.

6 Effective maturity is determined in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which regulates money market mutual funds.

Securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) represent 25.0% of the portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value (percentage is unaudited).

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 Ratings, 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 October 31, 2004, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

3 Denotes a restricted security, including securities purchased under Rule 144A that have been deemed liquid by criteria approved by the fund's Board of Trustees. At October 31, 2004, these securities amounted to $100,505,000 which represents 42.7% of net assets.

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2004

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 41 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of 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 which is exempt from federal regular income tax and New Jersey State income tax imposed upon non-corporate taxpayers 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) in the United States of America.

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, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. 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.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized/accreted.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. As of October 31, 2004, all of the Fund's distributions were from tax-exempt income.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.

Restricted Securities

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

Other

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment income are recorded on an identified cost basis.

3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

At October 31, 2004, capital paid-in aggregated $235,330,851.

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended October 31, 2004 and 2003, was as follows:

   

   

2004

   

2003


Tax-exempt income

 

$1,317,029

 

$1,573,634


As of October 31, 2004, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:


Undistributed tax-exempt income

 

$

106,212


Capital loss carryforward

 

$

16,163


At October 31, 2004, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $16,163, 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

5. 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 Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

Maximum
Administrative Fee

 

Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets
of the Federated Funds


0.150%

 

on the first $5 billion


0.125%

 

on the next $5 billion


0.100%

 

on the next $10 billion


0.075%

 

on assets in excess of $20 billion


The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FAS can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

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 daily net assets of the Fund's Institutional Service Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses up to 0.10% of average daily net assets, 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 the average daily net assets of the Fund's Institutional Shares and Institutional Service 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

Prior to July 1, 2004, Federated Services Company (FServ) through its subsidiary FSSC, served as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC was based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. The fee paid to FSSC during the reporting period was $89,978, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

Prior to January 1, 2004, FServ maintained the Fund's accounting records for which it received a fee. The fee was based on the level of the Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The fee paid to FServ during the reporting period was $11,341, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended October 31, 2004, 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 $395,176,045 and $357,094,288, respectively.

General

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

6. 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 October 31, 2004, 63.9% of the securities in the portfolio of investments is backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The largest percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency was 11.0% of total investments.

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds") were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majori ty of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and rule 12b-1 fees, and seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and will respond appropriately. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these recent lawsuits and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF MONEY MARKET OBLIGATIONS TRUST AND SHAREHOLDERS OF NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL CASH TRUST:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of New Jersey Municipal Cash Trust (the "Fund") (one of the portfolios constituting Money Market Obligations Trust), (the "Trust"), as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from the brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of New Jersey Municipal Cash Trust of Money Market Obligations Trust at October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformitywith U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 See the Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of these investments.

2 Percentages are based on total investments, which may differ from the Fund's total net assets used in computing the percentages in the Portfolio of Investments which follows.

3 These tables depict the short-term, credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund's portfolio holdings by Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), each of which is a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the one identified have been included in the "Not rated by..." category. Rated securities include a security with an obligor and/or credit enhancer that has received a rating from an NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations that is comparable in priority and security with the security held by the Fund. Credit-quality ratings are an assessment of the risk that a security will default in payment and do not address other risks presented by the security. Please see the description of credit-quality ratings in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

These tables depict the short-term, credit-quality ratings as assigned only by the NRSRO identified in each table. Of the portfolio's total investments, 11.4% do not have short-term ratings by either of these NRSROs.

4 The ratings A-1+, A-1, and A-2 include municipal notes rated SP-1+, SP-1, and SP-2, respectively.

5 The ratings Prime-1 and Prime-2 include municipal notes rated MIG-1 and MIG-2, and variable rate demand instruments rated VMIG-1 and VMIG-2, respectively.

6 Effective maturity is determined in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which regulates money market mutual funds.

Securities that are subject to federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) represent 26.1% of the portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value (percentage is unaudited).

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 Ratings, 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 October 31, 2004, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2004

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 41 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.

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) in the United States of America.

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, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as shareholder services fees. 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.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized/accreted.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. For the year ended October 31, 2004, all of the Fund's distributions were from tax-exempt income.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

At October 31, 2004, capital paid-in aggregated $844,799,468.

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended October 31, 2004 and 2003 was as follows:


   
2004
   
2003
Tax-exempt income

$5,129,480

$7,360,903

As of October 31, 2004, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income
   
$
309,546
Capital loss carryforward

$
10,038

At October 31, 2004, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $10,038 which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains 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
2010

$5,723
2012

$4,315

5. 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 Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

Maximum
Administrative Fee

   
Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets
of the Federated Funds

0.150%

on the first $5 billion
0.125%

on the next $5 billion
0.100%

on the next $10 billion
0.075%

on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FAS can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

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 daily net assets of the Fund's Institutional Service Shares and Cash II Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class Name
   
Percentage of Average Daily
Net Assets of Class

Institutional Service Shares

0.25%
Cash II Shares

0.25%

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 the average daily net assets of the Fund's Institutional Service Shares and Cash II 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

Prior to July 1, 2004, Federated Services Company (FServ), through its subsidiary FSSC, served as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC was based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. The fee paid to FSSC during the reporting period was $156,878, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

Prior to January 1, 2004, FServ maintained the Fund's accounting records for which it received a fee. The fee was based on the level of the Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The fee paid to FServ during the reporting period was $21,250, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended October 31, 2004, 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 $1,194,631,639 and $1,247,094,901, respectively.

General

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

6. 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 October 31, 2004, 64.5% of the securities in the portfolio of investments is backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The largest percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency was 9.1% of total investments.

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds") were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees, and seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and will respond appropriately. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these recent lawsuits and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF MONEY MARKET OBLIGATIONS TRUST AND SHAREHOLDERS OF NEW YORK MUNICIPAL CASH TRUST:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of New York Municipal Cash Trust (one of the portfolios constituting Money Market Obligations Trust), (the "Trust"), as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of New York Municipal Cash Trust of Money Market Obligations Trust at October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

2 Percentages are based on total investments, which may differ from the Fund's total net assets used in computing the percentages in the Portfolio of Investments which follows.

3 These tables depict the short-term, credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund's portfolio holdings by Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), each of which is a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the one identified have been included in the "Not rated by..." category. Rated securities include a security with an obligor and/or credit enhancer that has received a rating from an NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations that is comparable in priority and security with the security held by the Fund. Credit-quality ratings are an assessment of the risk that a security will default in payment and do not address other risks presented by the security. Please see the description of credit-quality ratings in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

These tables depict the short-term, credit-quality ratings as assigned only by the NRSRO identified in each table. Of the portfolio's total investments, 0.0% do not have short-term ratings by either of these NRSROs.

4 The ratings A-1+, A-1 and A-2 include municipal notes rated SP-1+, SP-1 and SP-2, respectively.

5 The ratings Prime-1 and Prime-2 include municipal notes rated MIG-1 and MIG-2, and variable rate demand instruments rated VMIG-1 and VMIG-2, respectively.

6 Effective maturity is determined in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which regulates money market mutual funds.

Securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) represent 40.8% of the portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value (percentage is unaudited).

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 Ratings, 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 October 31, 2004, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2004

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 41 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.

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) in the United States of America.

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. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized/accreted.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. For the year ended October 31, 2004, all of the Fund's distributions were from tax-exempt income.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

At October 31, 2004, capital paid-in aggregated $256,256,289.

5. 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 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 Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

Maximum
Administrative Fee

   
Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets
of the Federated Funds

0.150%

on the first $5 billion
0.125%

on the next $5 billion
0.100%

on the next $10 billion
0.075%

on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FAS 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 the average daily net assets of the Fund's 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

Prior to July 1, 2004, Federated Services Company (FServ) through its subsidiary FSSC, served as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC was based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. The fee paid to FSSC during the reporting period was $78,371, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

Prior to January 1, 2004, FServ maintained the Fund's accounting records for which it received a fee. The fee was based on the level of the Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The fee paid to FServ during the reporting period was $10,967, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended October 31, 2004, 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 $440,505,000 and $485,136,150, respectively.

General

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

6. 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 October 31, 2004, 77.3% of the securities in the portfolio of investments is backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The largest percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency was 13.0% of total investments.

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds") were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees, and seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and will respond appropriately. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these recent lawsuits and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF MONEY MARKET OBLIGATIONS TRUST AND
SHAREHOLDERS OF NORTH CAROLINA MUNICIPAL CASH TRUST:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of North Carolina Municipal Cash Trust (one of the portfolios constituting Money Market Obligations Trust), (the "Trust"), as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of North Carolina Municipal Cash Trust of Money Market Obligations Trust at October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder
services fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 See the Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of these investments.

2 Percentages are based on total investments, which may differ from the Fund's total net assets used in computing the percentages in the Portfolio of Investments which follows.

3 These tables depict the short-term credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund's portfolio holdings by
Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), each of which is a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the one identified have been included in the "Not rated by..." category. Rated securities include a security with an obligor and/or credit enhancer that has received a rating from an NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations that is comparable in priority and security with the security held by the Fund. Credit quality ratings are an assessment of the risk that a security will default in payment and do not address other risks presented by the security. Please see the description of credit quality ratings in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

These tables depict the short-term, credit-quality ratings as assigned only by the NRSRO identified in
each table. Of the portfolio's total investments, 20.8% do not have short-term ratings by either of
these NRSROs.

4 The ratings A-1+, A-1 and A-2 include municipal notes rated SP-1+, SP-1 and SP-2, respectively.

5 The ratings Prime-1 and Prime-2 include municipal notes rated MIG-1 and MIG-2, and variable rate demand instruments rated VMIG-1 and VMIG-2, respectively.

6 Effective maturity is determined in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which regulates money market mutual funds.

Securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) represent 40.3% of the portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value (percentage is unaudited).

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 Ratings 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 October 31, 2004, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

represents 6.8% of total net assets.

3 Denotes a restricted security, including securities purchased under Rule 144A that have been deemed
liquid by criteria approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. At October 31, 2004, these securities amounted to $20,120,000 which represents 6.8% of total net assets.

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2004

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 41 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.

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) in the United States of America.

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, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income, realized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. 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.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. For the year ended October 31, 2004, all of the Fund's distributions were from tax-exempt income.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

At October 31, 2004, capital paid-in aggregated $296,889,572.

2004

$
206,315
Capital loss carryforward

$
457

At October 31, 2004, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $457 which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains 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

5. 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 Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

Maximum
Administrative Fee



   
Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets
of the Federated Funds

0.150%

on the first $5 billion
0.125%

on the next $5 billion
0.100%

on the next $10 billion
0.075%

on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FAS can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

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 daily 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 of 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 the average daily net assets of the Fund's Institutional Shares, Institutional Service Shares and Cash II 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

Prior to July 1, 2004, Federated Services Company (FServ), through its subsidiary FSSC, served as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC was based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. The fee paid to FSSC during the reporting period was $48,828, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

Prior to January 1, 2004, FServ maintained the Fund's accounting records for which it received a fee. The fee was based on the level of the Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The fee paid to FServ during the reporting period was $15,661, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended October 31, 2004, 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 $352,995,000 and $369,195,000, respectively.

General

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

6. 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 October 31, 2004, 76.0% of the securities in the portfolio of investments is backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The largest percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency was 12.4% of total investments.

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds") were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-
sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees, and seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and will respond appropriately. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these recent lawsuits and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Ohio Municipal Cash Trust one of the portfolios constituting Money Market Obligations Trust, (the "Trust"), as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from the brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ohio Municipal Cash Trust of Money Market Obligations Trust at October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with United States
generally accepted accounting principles.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 See the Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a description of these investments.

2 Percentages are based on total investments, which may differ from the Fund's total net assets used in computing the percentages in the Portfolio of Investments which follows.

3 These tables depict the short-term, credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund's portfolio holdings by Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), each of which is a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the one identified have been included in the "Not rated by..." category.

Rated securities include a security with an obligor and/or credit enhancer that has received a rating from an NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations that is comparable in priority and security with the security held by the Fund. Credit-quality ratings are an assessment of the risk that a security will default in payment and do not address other risks presented by the security. Please see the description of credit-quality ratings in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

These tables depict the short-term, credit-quality ratings as assigned only by the NRSRO identified in each table. Of the portfolio's total investments, 5.0% do not have short-term ratings by either of these NRSROs.

4 The ratings A-1+, A-1 and A-2 include municipal notes rated SP-1+, SP-1, and SP-2, respectively.

5 The ratings Prime-1 and Prime-2 include municipal notes rated MIG-1 and MIG-2, and variable rate demand instruments rated VMIG-1 and VMIG-2, respectively.

6 Effective maturity is determined in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which regulates money market mutual funds.

Securities that are subject to federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) represent 43.3% of the portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value (percentage is unaudited).

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 Ratings, 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 October 31, 2004, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2004

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 41 portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Pennsylvania 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 Series Shares. The investment objectives 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.

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) in the United States of America.

Investment Valuation

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

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. 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.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized/accreted.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. For the year ended October 31, 2004, all of the Fund's distributions were from tax-exempt income.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

2004

Capital loss carryforward

$
2,931

At October 31, 2004, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $2,931, which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains 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

$2,931

5. 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 Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

Maximum
Administrative Fee

   
Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets
of the Federated Funds

0.150%

on the first $5 billion
0.125%

on the next $5 billion
0.100%

on the next $10 billion
0.075%

on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FAS can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

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, 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 the average daily net assets of the Fund's Institutional Shares, Institutional Service Shares, and Cash Series 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

Prior to July 1, 2004, Federated Services Company (FServ) through its subsidiary FSSC, served as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC was based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. The fee paid to FSSC during the reporting period was $72,938, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

Prior to January 1, 2004, FServ maintained the Fund's accounting records for which it received a fee. The fee was based on the level of the Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The fee paid to FServ during the reporting period was $17,835, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended October 31, 2004, 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 $547,967,500 and $493,134,500, respectively.

General

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

6. 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 October 31, 2004, 81.3% of the securities in the portfolio of investments is backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The largest percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency was 19.2% of total investments.

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds") were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees, and seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and will respond appropriately. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these recent lawsuits and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although we do not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from the regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of the Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Trust (one of the portfolios constituting the Money Market Obligations Trust), (the "Trust"), as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Trust of Money Market Obligations Trust at October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

2 Percentages are based on total investments, which may differ from the Fund's total net assets used in computing the percentages in the Portfolio of Investments which follows.

3 These tables depict the short-term, credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund's portfolio holdings by Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), each of which is a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the one identified have been included in the "Not rated by..." category. Rated securities include a security with an obligor and/or credit enhancer that has received a rating from an NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations that is comparable in priority and security with the security held by the Fund. Credit-quality ratings are an assessment of the risk that a security will default in payment and do not address other risks presented by the security. Please see the description of credit-quality ratings in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

These tables depict the short-term, credit-quality ratings as assigned only by the NRSRO identified in each table. Of the portfolio's total investments, 3.2% do not have short-term ratings by either of these NRSROs.

4 The ratings A-1+, A-1, and A-2 include municipal notes rated SP-1+, SP-1, and SP-2, respectively.

5 The ratings Prime-1 and Prime-2 include municipal notes rated MIG-1 and MIG-2, and variable rate demand instruments rated VMIG-1 and VMIG-2, respectively.

6 Effective maturity is determined in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which regulates money market mutual funds.

Securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) represent 31.8% of the Fund's portfolio as calculated based upon total portfolio market value (percentage is unaudited).

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 (NRSRO) 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 Ratings 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 October 31, 2004, the portfolio securities were rated as follows:

Tier Rating Percentage Based on Total Market Value (unaudited)

Second Tier

2 Denotes a restricted security, including securities purchased under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities, unless registered under the Act or exempted from registration, may only be sold to qualified institutional investors. At October 31, 2004, these securities amounted to $146,239,500 which represents 31.7% of net assets.

3 Denotes a restricted security, including securities purchased under Rule 144A that have been deemed liquid by criteria approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. At October 31, 2004, these securities amounted to $146,239,500 which represents 31.7% of net assets.

4 Also represents cost for federal tax purposes.

Note: The categories of investments are shown as a percentage of total net assets at October 31, 2004.

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2004

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 41 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 to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax and the income tax imposed by the Commonwealth of Virginia 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) in the United States of America.

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, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. 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.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. For the year ended October 31, 2004, all of the Fund's distributions were from tax-exempt income.

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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

At October 31, 2004, capital paid-in aggregated $461,009,534.

The following tables summarize share activity:

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due in part to expiration of a capital loss carryforward.

For the year ended October 31, 2004, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets was as follows:

Paid-In Capital
   
Undistributed
Net Investment
Income (Loss)

$

5. 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 Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average aggregate daily net assets of all Federated funds as specified below:

Maximum
Administrative Fee

   
Average Aggregate Daily Net Assets
of the Federated Funds

0.150%

on the first $5 billion
0.125%

on the next $5 billion
0.100%

on the next $10 billion
0.075%

on assets in excess of $20 billion

The administrative fee received during any fiscal year shall be at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FAS 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 the average daily net assets of the Fund's Institutional Shares and Institutional Service 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

Prior to July 1, 2004, Federated Services Company (FServ), through its subsidiary FSSC, served as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC was based on the size, type and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. The fee paid to FSSC during the reporting period was $168,660, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Portfolio Accounting Fees

Prior to January 1, 2004, FServ maintained the Fund's accounting records for which it received a fee. The fee was based on the level of the Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The fee paid to FServ during the reporting period was $15,162, after voluntary waiver, if applicable.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended October 31, 2004, 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 $651,487,500 and $597,530,000, respectively.

General

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

6. 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 October 31, 2004, 71.9% of the securities in the portfolio of investments is backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The largest percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency was 10.8% of total investments.

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Beginning in October 2003, Federated Investors, Inc. and various subsidiaries thereof (including the advisers and distributor for various investment companies, collectively, "Federated"), along with various investment companies sponsored by Federated ("Funds"), were named as defendants in several class action lawsuits now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The lawsuits were purportedly filed on behalf of people who purchased, owned and/or redeemed shares of Federated-sponsored mutual funds during specified periods beginning November 1, 1998. The suits are generally similar in alleging that Federated engaged in illegal and improper trading practices including market timing and late trading in concert with certain institutional traders, which allegedly caused financial injury to the mutual fund shareholders. Federated and various Funds have also been named as defendants in several additional lawsuits, the majority of which are now pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, excessive advisory and Rule 12b-1 fees, and seeking damages of unspecified amounts. The Board of the Funds has retained the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro Morin & Oshinsky LLP to represent the Funds in these lawsuits. Federated and the Funds, and their respective counsel, are reviewing the allegations and will respond appropriately. Additional lawsuits based upon similar allegations may be filed in the future. The potential impact of these recent lawsuits and future potential similar suits is uncertain. Although Federated does not believe that these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Funds, there can be no assurance that these suits, the ongoing adverse publicity and/or other developments resulting from related regulatory investigations will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sales of Fund shares, or other adverse consequences for the Funds.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Virginia Municipal Cash Trust (one of the portfolios constituting Money Market Obligations Trust), (the "Trust"), as of October 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Virginia Municipal Cash Trust of Money Market Obligations Trust at October 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(e)(1)      Audit Committee Policies regarding Pre-approval of Services.

     The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve audit and non-audit services
performed by the  independent  auditor in order to assure that the  provision of
such services do not impair the auditor's independence. Unless a type of service
to be provided by the independent auditor has received general pre-approval,  it
will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services
exceeding  pre-approved  cost levels will require  specific  pre-approval by the
Audit Committee.

     Certain services have the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee.  The
term of the general  pre-approval  is 12 months  from the date of  pre-approval,
unless the Audit Committee  specifically  provides for a different  period.  The
Audit  Committee  will annually  review the services that may be provided by the
independent  auditor  without  obtaining  specific  pre-approval  from the Audit
Committee  and may  grant  general  pre-approval  for such  services.  The Audit
Committee  will revise the list of general  pre-approved  services  from time to
time, based on subsequent determinations.  The Audit Committee will not delegate
its  responsibilities  to  pre-approve  services  performed  by the  independent
auditor to management.

     The Audit Committee has delegated  pre-approval  authority to its Chairman.
The Chairman will report any  pre-approval  decisions to the Audit  Committee at
its next scheduled  meeting.  The Committee  will designate  another member with
such pre-approval authority when the Chairman is unavailable.



AUDIT SERVICES

     The annual Audit services  engagement terms and fees will be subject to the
specific  pre-approval of the Audit Committee.  The Audit Committee must approve
any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope,
registered investment company (RIC) structure or other matters.

     In addition to the annual Audit services engagement  specifically  approved
by the Audit Committee,  the Audit Committee may grant general  pre-approval for
other Audit Services, which are those services that only the independent auditor
reasonably  can provide.  The Audit  Committee  has  pre-approved  certain Audit
services,  all other Audit  services must be  specifically  pre-approved  by the
Audit Committee.



AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES

     Audit-related   services  are  assurance  and  related  services  that  are
reasonably  related to the  performance  of the audit or review of the Company's
financial  statements  or that are  traditionally  performed by the  independent
auditor.  The Audit  Committee  believes  that the  provision  of  Audit-related
services does not impair the  independence of the auditor,  and has pre-approved
certain  Audit-related  services,  all  other  Audit-related  services  must  be
specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.



TAX SERVICES

     The Audit Committee  believes that the independent  auditor can provide Tax
services to the Company  such as tax  compliance,  tax  planning  and tax advice
without impairing the auditor's independence.  However, the Audit Committee will
not  permit the  retention  of the  independent  auditor  in  connection  with a
transaction  initially  recommended by the independent  auditor,  the purpose of
which may be tax  avoidance  and the tax treatment of which may not be supported
in the Internal  Revenue Code and related  regulations.  The Audit Committee has
pre-approved certain Tax services,  all Tax services involving large and complex
transactions must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.



ALL OTHER SERVICES

     With  respect to the  provision  of services  other than  audit,  review or
attest services the pre-approval requirement is waived if:

(1)  The aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than
     five percent of the total amount of revenues  paid by the  registrant,  the
     registrant's adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily
     portfolio  management  and is  subcontracted  with or  overseen  by another
     investment  adviser),  and any entity controlling,  controlled by, or under
     common control with the investment  adviser that provides  ongoing services
     to the  registrant  to its  accountant  during the fiscal year in which the
     services are provided;

(2)  Such  services  were not  recognized by the  registrant,  the  registrant's
     adviser (not including any  sub-adviser  whose role is primarily  portfolio
     management  and is  subcontracted  with or overseen  by another  investment
     adviser),  and any  entity  controlling,  controlled  by,  or under  common
     control with the investment  adviser that provides  ongoing services to the
     registrant at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and

(3)  Such services are promptly  brought to the attention of the Audit Committee
     of the  issuer and  approved  prior to the  completion  of the audit by the
     Audit  Committee or by one or more members of the Audit  Committee  who are
     members of the board of directors to whom authority to grant such approvals
     has been delegated by the Audit Committee.


     The Audit  Committee may grant general  pre-approval  to those  permissible
non-audit services classified as All Other services that it believes are routine
and recurring services, and would not impair the independence of the auditor.



     The SEC's rules and relevant  guidance should be consulted to determine the
precise  definitions of prohibited  non-audit  services and the applicability of
exceptions to certain of the prohibitions.



PRE-APPROVAL FEE LEVELS

     Pre-approval  fee levels for all services to be provided by the independent
auditor  will be  established  annually  by the Audit  Committee.  Any  proposed
services exceeding these levels will require specific  pre-approval by the Audit
Committee.



PROCEDURES

     Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval
by the Audit  Committee  will be  submitted  to the Audit  Committee by both the
independent  auditor  and  the  Principal  Accounting  Officer  and/or  Internal
Auditor,  and must include a joint  statement as to whether,  in their view, the
request  or  application   is  consistent   with  the  SEC's  rules  on  auditor
independence.

(e)(2)  Percentage  of services  identified in items 4(b) through 4(d) that were
approved by the registrants audit committee  pursuant to paragraph  (c)(7)(i)(C)
of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X:

                  4(b)

            entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment
            adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were approved by
            the registrants audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01
            of Regulation S-X, 0% and 0% respectively.



            4(c)

            Fiscal year ended 2004 - 0%

                  Fiscal year ended 2003 - 0%

            Percentage of services provided to the registrants investment adviser and any
            entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment
            adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were approved by
            the registrants audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01
            of Regulation S-X, 0% and 0% respectively.



            4(d)

            Fiscal year ended 2004 - 0%

                  Fiscal year ended 2003 - 0%

            Percentage of services provided to the registrants investment adviser and any
            entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment
            adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were approved by
            the registrants audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01
            of Regulation S-X, 0% and 0% respectively.



(f)   NA


(g)   Non-Audit Fees billed to the registrant, the registrant's investment adviser, and
      certain entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with the
      investment adviser:
            Fiscal year ended 2004 - $642,307

                  Fiscal year ended 2003 - $452,695



(h)         The registrant's Audit Committee has considered that the provision of non-audit
services that were rendered to the registrant's adviser (not including any sub-adviser
whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by
another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common
control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that
were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is
compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.
