See Notes which are an integral part of the Financial Statements
May 31, 2004 (unaudited)
Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund (individually referred to as the "Fund", or collectively as the "Funds") are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as diversified, closed-end management investment companies.
Prior to commencing operations on December 20, 2002, Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund had no operations other than matters relating to its organization and registration and the sale and issuance of 6,981 common shares of beneficial interest (common shares) to Federated Investment Management Company (the "Investment Adviser"). The Fund issued 5,850,000 shares of common stock in its initial public offering on December 20, 2002. These shares were issued at $15.00 per share before underwriting discount of $0.68 per share. Offering costs of $175,500 (representing $0.03 per share) were offset against proceeds of the offering and have been charged to paid-in capital. The Investment Adviser paid all offering costs (other than underwriting discount) and organizational expenses regarding the common share offering which exceeded $0.03 per share of the Fund. An additional 250,000 common shares were issued on February 3, 2003 at $15.00 per share. On February 13, 2003, the Fund issued 2,147 preferred shares at $25,000 per share before underwriting discount of $0.69 per share. Offering costs of $726,739 (representing $0.12 per share) were offset against proceeds of the offering and have been charged to paid-in capital.
Prior to commencing operations on December 20, 2002, Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund had no operations other than matters relating to its organization and registration and the sale and issuance of 6,981 common shares to the Investment Adviser. The Fund issued 6,400,000 shares of common stock in its initial public offering on December 20, 2002. These shares were issued at $15.00 per share before underwriting discount of $0.68 per share. Offering costs of $192,000 (representing $0.03 per share) were offset against proceeds of the offering and have been charged to paid-in capital. The Investment Adviser paid all offering costs (other than underwriting discount) and organizational expenses regarding the common share offering which exceeded $0.03 per share of the Fund. An additional 540,000 common shares were issued on February 3, 2003 at $15.00 per share. On February 13, 2003, the Fund issued 2,441 preferred shares at $25,000 per share before underwriting discount of $0.70 per share. Offering costs of $793,521 (representing $0.12 per share) were offset against proceeds of the offering and have been charged to paid-in capital.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America.
Municipal bonds are valued by an independent pricing service, taking into consideration yield, liquidity, risk, credit quality, coupon, maturity, type of issue, and any other factors or market data the pricing service deems relevant. Short-term securities are valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Securities for which no quotations are readily available are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under general supervision of the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees").
Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions to preferred shareholders are recorded daily and paid weekly at a rate set through auction procedures. The dividend rate to preferred shareholders for Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund at May 31, 2004 was 1.05% and 1.08%, respectively.
All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes.
It is the Funds' policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no provision for federal tax is necessary.
The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain 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 are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer's expense either upon demand by the Funds or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. The Funds will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Funds' restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under general supervision of the Trustees.
The Funds periodically may sell bond interest rate futures contracts to manage duration and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a bond interest rate futures contract with a broker, the Funds are required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a "variation margin" account. Daily, the Funds receive from or pay to the broker a specified amount of cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a contract is closed, each Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of the underlying securities. For the six months ended May 31, 2004, the Funds had realized gains on futures contracts as follows:

The Funds may enter into swap contracts. A swap is an exchange of cash payments between each Fund and another party, which is based on a specific financial index. The value of the swap is adjusted daily and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When a swap contract is closed, each Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. The swap contracts entered into by the Funds are on a forward settling basis. For the six months ended May 31, 2004, the Funds had realized losses on swap contracts as follows:
Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund |
|
$(2,151,098) |
Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund |
|
$(1,725,902) |
Risks may arise upon entering into these agreements from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contract and from unanticipated changes in the value of the financial index on which the swap agreement is based. The Funds use swaps for hedging purposes to reduce their exposure to interest rate fluctuations.
For the six months ended May 31, 2004, the Funds had the following open swap contracts:

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.
Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to authorize an unlimited number of par value common shares ($0.01 per share).

At November 30, 2003, Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund had capital loss carryforwards of $207,100 and $57,890, respectively, which will reduce the Funds' 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 Funds of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards will expire in 2011.
Each Fund has entered into an Investment Management Agreement (the "Agreement") with Federated Investment Management Company (the "Adviser") to serve as investment manager to each Fund. Pursuant to its Agreement, each Fund pays the Adviser an annual management fee, payable daily, at the annual rate of 0.55% of each Fund's managed assets.
In order to reduce fund expenses, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment adviser fee at the annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily value of each Fund's managed assets, not inclusive of any assets attributable to any preferred shares that may be issued, from the commencement of operations through December 31, 2007, and at a declining rate thereafter through December 31, 2010.
Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides each 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 |
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.
Prior to January 1, 2004, Federated Services Company (FServ) maintained the Funds' accounting records for which it received a fee. The fee was based on the level of each Fund's average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The fee paid by each Fund to FServ during the reporting period was as follows, after voluntary waiver, if applicable:
Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund |
|
$5,943 |
Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund |
|
$4,882 |
Each Fund paid its organizational and offering expenses of up to $0.03 per common share. The Adviser paid organizational expenses and offering costs of each Fund that exceeded $0.03 per Common Share.
During the six months ended May 31, 2004, the Funds 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 were as follows:
|

|

|

|
Certain of the Officers and Trustees of the Funds are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.
On February 13, 2003, Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund offered and currently have outstanding 2,147 and 2,441 Auction Market Preferred Shares (AMPS), respectively. The AMPS are redeemable at the option of the Funds at the redemption price of $25,000 per share plus an amount equal to accumulated, but unpaid dividends thereon through the redemption date.
Whenever AMPS are outstanding, common shareholders will not be entitled to receive any distributions from the Funds unless all accrued dividends on preferred shares have been paid, the Funds satisfy the 200% asset coverage requirement, and certain other requirements imposed by any Nationally Recognized Statistical Ratings Organizations (NRSROs) rating the preferred shares have been met. Should these requirements not be met, or should dividends accrued on the AMPS not be paid, the Funds may be restricted in their ability to declare dividends to common shareholders or may be required to redeem certain of the AMPS. At May 31, 2004, there were no such restrictions on the Funds.
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term obligations (and in-kind contributions), for the six months ended May 31, 2004, were as follows:

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. 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 have been filed, and others may be filed in the future. 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.
On June 11, 2004, the Funds declared common share dividend distributions from their respective tax exempt net investment income which were paid on July 1, 2004, to shareholders of record on June 23, 2004, as follows:

In an effort to reduce costs and avoid duplicate mailings, the Fund(s) intend to deliver a single copy of certain documents to each household in which more than one shareholder of the Fund(s) resides (so-called "householding"), as permitted by applicable rules. The Fund's "householding" program covers Semi-Annual and Annual Reports and any Proxies or information statements. Shareholders must give their written consent to participate in the "householding" program. The Fund is also permitted to treat a shareholder as having given consent ("implied consent") if (i) shareholders with the same last name, or believed to be members of the same family, reside at the same street address or receive mail at the same post office box, (ii) the Fund gives notice of its intent to "household" at least sixty (60) days before it begins "householding" and (iii) none of the shareholders in the household have notified the Fund(s) or their agent of the desire to "opt out" of "householding." Shareholders who have granted written consent, or have been deemed to have granted implied consent, can revoke that consent and opt out of "householding" at any time: shareholders who purchased shares through an intermediary should contact their representative; other shareholders may call the Fund(s) at 1- 800- 245-0242 Ext. 7538 or email CEinfo@federatedinv.com.
