President's Message

Dear Fellow Shareholder:

Federated Municipal Opportunities Fund, Inc. was created in 1987, and I am pleased to present its 16th Annual Report. This report covers the 12-month reporting period from September 1, 2001 through August 31, 2002. On August 31, 2002, the fund's $405.0 million portfolio was invested in 199 tax-free securities¹ issued by municipalities in 43 states. The bond portfolio is diversified across sectors, states, credit quality ratings and individual issuers.

Over the past 12 months, returns for municipal bonds were very attractive. For example, the Lehman Brothers 10-Year Municipal Bond Index² posted a 6.77% one-year total return through August 31, 2002. In fact, for over three years, bond funds, both taxable and tax-free, have had very attractive investment results. More investors are using tax-free bond funds to diversify their portfolios.

Management's strategy is to provide a high level of tax-exempt income by structuring a well-diversified portfolio of lower-quality, long-term municipal bonds. These lower-rated bonds may potentially generate more income but have more credit risk.

This report begins with an interview with Mary Jo Ochson, Senior Vice President, who co-manages the fund with J. Scott Albrecht, Vice President, both of Federated Investment Management Company. Following their comments covering the municipal market, the fund's performance, and investment strategy, are three additional items of shareholder interest. First is a series of graphs showing the fund's long-term investment performance. Second is a complete listing of the fund's broadly diversified municipal bond holdings, and third is the publication of the fund's financial statements.

1 State, local, and federal alternative minimum taxes may apply.

2 The Lehman Brothers 10-Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of investment grade, tax-exempt bonds. Investments cannot be made in an index.

The fund's 30-day Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) yield for Class A Shares as of August 31, 2002, was 5.22%, based on offering price.³ This is the equivalent of an 8.50% yield on a taxable bond investment for an investor in the 38.6% federal income tax bracket, and equivalent to taxable yields of 8.03% and 7.46% for investors in the 35.0% and 30.0% tax brackets, respectively.

Individual share class total return performance for the 12-month reporting period, including income distributions, follows.⁴

	Net Asset Value Change	Income	Total Return
Class A Shares	$9.91 to $9.73 = (1.82)%	$0.538	3.79%
Class B Shares	$9.90 to $9.73 = (1.72)%	$0.465	3.11%
Class C Shares	$9.90 to $9.73 = (1.72)%	$0.466	3.13%
Class F Shares	$9.91 to $9.73 = (1.82)%	$0.538	3.79%

3 The 30-day current SEC net yield is calculated by dividing the investment income per share for the prior 30 days by the maximum offering price per share on that date. The figure is compounded and annualized. The 30-day current SEC yield as of August 31, 2002 for Class B, C, and F Shares were 4.71%, 4.71%, and 5.41%, respectively, based on offering price (i.e., less any applicable sales charge). The taxable yield equivalents, based on offering price (i.e., less any applicable sales charge), for investors in 38.6%, 35.0%, and 30.0% federal tax brackets were as follows: Class B Shares--7.67%, 7.25%, and 6.73%, respectively; Class C Shares--7.67%, 7.25%, and 6.73%, respectively; and Class F Shares--8.81%, 8.32%, and 7.73%, respectively.

4 Performance quoted is based on net asset value, reflects past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance is available at our website wwwfederatedinvestors.com or by calling 1-800-341-7400. Total returns for the period, based on offering price (i.e., less any applicable sales charge), for Class A, B, C, and F Shares were (0.91)%, (2.29)%, 2.14%, and 1.78%, respectively.

I would like to call your attention to the illustrations of a systematic investment plan shown on pages 10 and 11. For the illustration on page 11, the same dollar amount is invested annually for 10 years, thus accumulating shares, followed by a period of +5 years of withdrawal. It is worthwhile to consider the fund's systematic investment program as a potential way to increase your wealth over time.⁵ Yes, it takes time, discipline and compounding to build up the accounts; however, the investment results can be attractive.

Thank you for investing a portion of your wealth in Federated Municipal Opportunities Fund, Inc. You are one of approximately 12,000 shareholders who earn monthly investment income free from federal tax. As always, we welcome your comments and suggestions.

Sincerely,

J. Christopher Donahue

5 Systematic investing does not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets. Because dollar-cost averaging involves continuous investment regardless of fluctuating price levels, investors should consider their financial ability to continue purchases during periods of low price levels.

Investment Review

How would you describe the market environment during the past 12 months?

Municipal bond market yields declined over the second half of the fund's fiscal year. The Bond Buyer Municipal Revenue Index¹moved from a high of 5.67% on March 28, 2002 to 5.25% by the end of the 12-month reporting period, August 31, 2002. Lower rates indicate higher prices for bond issues.

An assortment of weak economic data and stock market woes, coupled with the uncertainties of possible terrorist strikes and war with Iraq, were the main reasons for the yield decline. Investors bid up the prices of the low-risk assets, which included municipal bonds. The bond market was also cognizant of the fact the Federal Reserve Board ("the Fed") was not likely to raise interest rates over the period. In fact the bias of the Fed was continued economic weakness. The expected sub-par recovery should continue to keep inflation pressures in check, while further delaying any rate increases by the Fed. The biggest obstacle to positive bond price performance will be the anticipated increase in municipal bond supply in the fourth quarter of 2002. However, all year long the municipal market did an impressive job of absorbing supply even as yields declined to 30-year lows, as investors looked for stability in the municipal bond arena.

The municipal yield curve became steeper over the second half of the reporting period. The entire curve (1- to 30-year spread) increased from 348 basis points to 354 basis points, with the majority of the yield movement occurring in the short/intermediate portion of the curve. Flattening of the municipal curve will eventually occur as the U.S. economic recovery takes hold, and the market anticipates the Fed's tightening moves. However, any significant backup in yields should be postponed until 2003.

1 The Bond Buyer Municipal Revenue Index is an unmanaged index of yields for AA-rated and A-rated municipal bonds that is widely used by dealers to evaluate yields on new municipal bond issues. The index is published in The Bond Buyer, a daily publication specializing in fixed-income securities. Investments cannot be made in an index.

In the current economic environment, are municipal bond funds a better choice than buying individual municipal bonds directly?

Yes, we think so. Municipal bond funds make good sense in the current economic environment because they have many advantages over buying individual securities directly. The fund holds bond certificates for safekeeping, deals with bond calls, and can reinvest dividends for fund shareholders. Fund managers keep track of the credit quality of fund issues. Right now--with low interest rates--municipal bond funds can offer a competitive yield, if not a higher yield, than one could obtain by buying individual municipal bonds directly. Also, remember that it is the full-time job of the portfolio manager to research a market where bonds are scarce, and to find the right bonds at the right price no matter how difficult that task might be. And, at Federated, we have been doing just that since 1976. In your fund alone, we follow approximately 200 issues.

How did Federated Municipal Opportunities Fund, Inc. perform during the 12-month reporting period?

Positive performance is always welcome! The fund's annualized total return for A and F shares outperformed the Lipper High Yield Municipal Debt Funds average. For the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2002, the fund's Class A, B, C, and F Shares returned 3.79%, 3.11%, 3.13%, and 3.79%, respectively, based on net asset value, while the Lipper average returned 3.24%.² Investors who own equities were indeed gratified by the positive performance.

The fund's return was positively impacted by high coupon levels on moderate to lower-rated securities held by the fund. An overweight in healthcare bonds also contributed to good performance, and we continued to increase our exposure to hospital issues to take advantage of the sector's attractive yields. Even though the fund had been neutral in airline bonds relative to its peers, significant decreases in the price of these bonds following the terrorist attacks did hold back fund performance somewhat. We are, of course, reducing the fund's exposure to airline bond issues.

2 Lipper figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper, Inc. as falling into the category indicated. Lipper figures do not take sales charges into account.

How did the fund perform with respect to income?

As of August 31, 2002, the fund's Class A Shares had a 30-day SEC yield of 5.22% (based on offering price). The fund's core positions in high-coupon bonds (both investment and non-investment grade) were the forces behind the strong income performance by the fund. This performance is even more impressive on a tax-equivalent basis. Tax-equivalent yields for the fund's Class A Shares ranged from 8.50% for an investor in the 38.6% bracket to 7.46% for an investor in the 30.0% tax bracket.

What were the fund's top five holdings as of August 31, 2002?

Issuer/Coupon/Maturity		Percentage of Net Assets
District of Columbia Revenue Bonds - American University, (AMBAC INS) 5.625% due 10/01/2026		3.52%
Indianapolis, IN Airport Authority - FedEx Corp. 7.100% due 1/15/2017		3.10%
California State UT General Obligation Bonds, 5.000% due 06/01/2012		2.93%
Merrill Lynch Puttable RITES Trust, Tax Exempt Receipts, 11.914% due 1/1/2032		2.58%
Springfield, TN Health & Educational Facilities -- Northcrest Medical Center (Prerefunded Bond), 8.500% due 4/1/2024		2.32%

How were the fund's assets allocated in terms of credit quality at the end of the reporting period?³

3 Credit ratings pertain only to the securities in the portfolio and do not protect fund shares against market risks.

What is the fund's average quality and how do you manage it?

Even though the fund falls into the high-yield municipal bond category, as of August 31, 2002, it still maintained a BBB, or investment-grade rating. For that portion of the fund which is less than investment grade, we have very strict diversification and credit policies in place. Under normal circumstances, we will not invest more than 0.5% of assets in any single high-yield security. We think our emphasis on the core values of diversification and detailed credit work explains the fund's solid relative performance over its history.

What is your outlook for the municipal bond market through the end of 2002?

The consensus forecast is for a muted and uneven economic recovery. The Fed is unlikely to begin the tightening cycle until sometime in 2003, as inflation pressures will be in check. Slower growth, low inflation and a neutral-to-accommodative Fed policy should result in relatively stable interest rates throughout much of this year. The municipal market should mostly "range trade" in this economic environment, with any backup in municipal yields to be limited and the expected yield curve flattening to be rather modest by historical standards.

Municipal new issue activity is projected to be in the $250 billion range in 2002. Bond issuance is biased to the upside, as municipalities will be forced to issue debt for new capital projects since the budget gaps created by the recession may eliminate the ability to fund projects internally. Heavy new issue municipal supply may impact municipal bond price performance relative to taxable bond products until it is fully digested by the market. The fiscal outlook for municipal governments are dependent upon how they respond individually to declining sales tax and income tax revenues as a result of the recession. Negative rating actions will continue into the early stages of the economic recovery.

Should investors continue to hold this fund, and should they add to their account at this time?

The answer is yes! Your fund provides diversification in the municipal bond markets.⁴ In the past several years, the stock market has experienced tough times, and owning municipal bonds has helped investors diversify into less risky investments. Furthermore, an excellent way to add to your share account is buying shares regularly (monthly, quarterly or annually). For this reason, we have included an illustration in this report of the benefit of annually investing over a period of years. Please review the illustrations and see their benefits (pages 9, 10 and 11).

4 Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss.

Three Ways You May Seek to Invest for Success

STRATEGY #1--With a lump sum investment of $48,000 in the Class F Shares of Federated Municipal Opportunities Fund, Inc. on 4/10/87, reinvesting your dividends, capital gains and no redemption of shares, your account would have been worth $118,822 on 8/31/02, with 6.07%¹ average annual total return.

One key to investing wisely is to reinvest all tax-free distributions in fund shares. This increases the number of shares on which you can earn future tax-free dividends, and you gain the benefit of compounding dividends tax-free.

As of 9/30/02, the Class A Shares' average annual 1-year, 5-year and since inception (8/5/96) total returns were 1.10%, 2.76%, and 3.74%, respectively. Class B Shares' average annual 1-year, 5-year, and since inception (8/5/96) total returns were (0.44)%, 2.62%, and 3.74%, respectively. Class C Shares' average annual 1-year, 5-year, and since inception (8/5/96) total returns were 4.07%, 2.95%, and 3.74%, respectively. Class F Shares' average annual 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year total returns were 3.76%, 3.50%, and 4.69%, respectively.²

1 Total return represents the change in the value of an investment after reinvesting all income and capital gains, and takes into account the 1.00% sales charge for Class F Shares. A contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% would be applied on any redemption of Class F Shares less than four years from the purchase date. Data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

2 The total returns stated take into account all applicable sales charges. The maximum sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges for the fund are as follows: Class A Shares, 4.50% sales charge; Class B Shares, 5.50% contingent deferred sales charge; Class C Shares, 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge; and Class F Shares, 1.00% sales charge and 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge.

STRATEGY #2--With a systematic investment plan, if you had started investing $3,000 annually in the Class F Shares of Federated Municipal Opportunities Fund, Inc. on 4/10/87, reinvesting your dividends, capital gains and no redemption of shares, your account would have reached a total value of $73,932¹ by 8/31/02, though you would have invested only $48,000. You would have earned an average annual total return of 5.29% over the life of this systematic investment plan.

This practical systematic investment plan helps you pursue a high level of income through tax-free municipal bonds. Note that you did not commit a large sum of money to the municipal bond market at any one time, and you have reinvested monthly tax-free income. Your dollars accumulated shares over time and as of 8/31/02, you owned 7,598 shares, which will pay you monthly tax-free income into the future. This plan allows the investor to buy shares at low and high prices, and use the bond market's volatility to their advantage. You can take it one step at a time.

1 This chart assumes that the subsequent annual investments are made on the last day of each anniversary month. No method of investing can guarantee a profit or protect against loss in down markets.

STRATEGY #3--Combines a systematic investment plan with an automatic withdrawal program. This is a sensible approach to investing which allows shareholders to accumulate fund shares over a long period of time (in this illustration $3,000 annually for 10 years) and then enjoy a withdrawal period with monthly tax-free income to the investor for a period of time (in this illustration $200 per month for over five years). During the 10-year accumulation period, $30,000 in total was invested. From 4/1/97 through 8/31/02, a total of $13,000 was paid to the investor, and the ending value of the account on 8/31/02 was $39,469.¹ This represents a 5.55% average annual total return over the life of this investment plan.

Note that the shareholder did not commit a large sum of money to the municipal bond market at any one time, and has reinvested monthly tax-free income during the accumulation period. During the withdrawal period, the shareholder elected to withdraw $200 per month as income. Again, this plan allows the investor to buy shares at low and high prices, and use the bond market's volatility to their advantage.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2002

ORGANIZATION

Federated Municipal Opportunities Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The investment objective is to provide a high level of current income which is generally exempt from federal regular income tax. The Fund offers four classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class F Shares.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Investment Valuation

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

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

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

Effective September 1, 2001, the Fund adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began accreting discount on long-term debt securities. Prior to September 1, 2001, the Fund did not accrete discount on long-term debt securities. The cumulative effect of this accounting change had no impact on the total net assets of the Fund, but resulted in adjustments to the financial statements as follows:

	As of 9/1/2001		For the Year Ended 8/31/2002
	Cost of Investments	Undistributed Net Investment Income	Net Investment Income	Net Unrealized Appreciation/ Depreciation	Net Realized Gain/Loss
Increase (Decrease)	$84,637	$84,637	$37,156	$(28,818)	$(8,338)

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

As of August 31, 2002, the tax composition of dividends was as follows:

Tax exempt income		$21,568,249

Long-term capital gains		--

As of August 31, 2002, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax exempt income		$1,444,777

Undistributed long-term gains		--

Unrealized depreciation		(94,652)

At year end, there were no significant differences between the GAAP basis and tax basis of components of net assets, other than differences in the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the value of investments attributable to the tax treatment of premium and discount.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. The following reclassifications have been made to the financial statements.

Increase (Decrease)
Paid-In Capital	Accumulated Net Realized Loss	Undistributed Net Investment Income
$(568,345)	$688,543	$(120,198)

Federal Taxes

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

At August 31, 2002, the Fund, for federal tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $36,784,525, which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire as follows:

Expiration Year		Expiration Amount
2004		$ 3,648,711

2008		$24,259,223

2009		$ 4,968,940

2010		$ 3,907,651

Additionally, net capital losses of $4,178,128 attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 2001, are treated as arising on September 1, 2002, the first day of the Fund's next taxable year.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

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

Restricted Securities

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

Additional information on each restricted security held at August 31, 2002 is as follows:

Security	Acquisition Date	Acquisition Cost
California Statewide Communities Development Authority, Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds	6/7/1999	$1,985,000

Kansas City, MO, IDA, Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds	7/27/1999	2,445,000

Kansas Development Finance Authority, Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds	10/19/1998	1,395,000

Maricopa County, AZ, IDA, Solid Waste Disposal Revenue Bonds	6/4/1999	2,345,000

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.

CAPITAL STOCK

At August 31, 2002, par value shares ($0.001 per share) authorized were as follows:

Share Class Name		Number of Par Value Capital Stock Authorized

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 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Administrative Fee

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

Distribution Services Fee

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

Share Class Name		Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets
Class A Shares		0.25%
Class B Shares		0.75%
Class C Shares		0.75%
Class F Shares		0.25%

For the year ended August 31, 2002, Class A Shares and Class F Shares did not incur a distribution services fee.

Shareholder Services Fee

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

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses

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

Portfolio Accounting Fee

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

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended August 31, 2002, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $255,332,300 and $194,793,805, respectively.

General

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

INVESTMENT RISK

Although the Fund has a diversified portfolio, the Fund has 44.4% of its portfolio invested in lower rated and comparable quality unrated high-yield securities. Investments in higher yield securities are accomplished by greater degree of credit risk and the risk tends to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. The risk of loss due to default by the issuer may be significantly greater for the holders of high yielding securities because such securities are generally unsecured and often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer.

INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities (and in-kind contributions), for the year ended August 31, 2002, were as follows:

Purchases	$	150,560,134

Sales	$	135,716,894

FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

For the year ended August 31, 2002, the Fund did not designate any long-term capital gain dividends. At August 31, 2002, 100% of distributions from net investment income are exempt from federal income tax, other than AMT.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS OF FEDERATED MUNICIPAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND, INC.:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Federated Municipal Opportunities Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), as of August 31, 2002, 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 three years in the period then ended. 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. The financial highlights for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 1999 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated October 15, 1999, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2002, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures.
