⁽¹⁾Amounts represent unpaid principal balance of risk-rated loans, which is the basis Farmer Mac uses to analyze its portfolio, and recorded investment of past due loans.

⁽²⁾Assets in the "Special mention" category generally have potential weaknesses due to performance issues but are currently considered to be adequately secured.

⁽³⁾Substandard assets have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses and there is a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if deficiencies are not corrected.
