NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Accounting Policies (a) Cash and Cash Equivalents Farmer Mac considers highly liquid investment securities with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Changes in the balance of cash and cash equivalents are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The following table sets forth information regarding certain cash and non-cash transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000.
Nine Months Ended September 30, ------------------- 2001 2000 -------- ------- (in thousands) Cash paid for: Interest $62,372 $ 42,333 Income taxes 5,000 3,825 Non-cash activity: Real estate owned acquired through foreclosure - - Loans securitized as AMBS 99,862 340,619
(b) Loans As of September 30, 2001, loans held by Farmer Mac included $17.1 million held for sale and $123.9 million held for investment. As of December 31, 2000, loans held by Farmer Mac included $11.6 million held for sale and $18.7 million held for investment. See "New Accounting Standards" below for a discussion of SFAS 140. (c) Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted to include all potentially dilutive common stock. The following schedule reconciles basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000:

(d) Reclassifications Certain reclassifications of prior period information were made to conform to the current period presentation. (e) New Accounting Standards As amended, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 133") became effective as of January 1, 2001. SFAS 133 requires financial derivatives to be measured and recorded at fair value. Pursuant to generally accepted accounting practices prior to SFAS 133, derivatives were accounted for as off-balance sheet items and disclosed in the consolidated financial statement footnotes. The cumulative effect of this change in accounting principles recognized on January 1, 2001 was a reduction to net income of $726,000 and a negative adjustment to other comprehensive income within stockholders' equity of $8.6 million. As part of the implementation of SFAS 133, Farmer Mac reclassified certain investments from held to maturity and available for sale securities to trading securities. The Corporation expects that SFAS 133 will increase volatility in earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income. In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities ("SFAS 140"). SFAS 140 was applied as of April 1, 2001 as required by the standard. SFAS 140 does not materially affect the Corporation's results of operations or financial position, but does result in the Corporation classifying as loans certain AMBS that were previously classified as Farmer Mac guaranteed securities. (f) Financial Derivatives Farmer Mac enters into derivative instruments as an end-user, not for speculative purposes. Farmer Mac enters into interest-rate contracts, including interest-rate swaps and caps, to adjust the characteristics of Farmer Mac's debt to match more closely the characteristics of the Corporation's assets or to provide better returns on its investments. Farmer Mac enters into forward sale contracts of GSE debt and mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury based futures contracts to manage interest-rate risk exposure related to loan purchases and anticipated debt issuances. Interest-rate swaps used to hedge corporate debt investments, and forward sale contracts used to hedge Farmer Mac's loan portfolio, are classified and accounted for as fair value hedges. Interest-rate swaps and forward sale contracts used to hedge anticipated debt issuances are classified and accounted for as cash flow hedges. Other financial derivatives, such as futures and interest-rate caps, are not assigned an accounting hedge designation. Farmer Mac's financial derivatives are carried at their fair values. For fair value hedges, the changes in the fair values of the derivatives, along with the changes in fair values of the hedged items, are recorded in earnings. For cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair values of the derivatives are recorded in other comprehensive income and any hedge ineffectiveness is recorded in earnings. For derivative instruments not assigned an accounting hedge designation, the changes in fair value are recorded in earnings. Net after-tax charges against earnings under SFAS 133 during third quarter 2001 totaled $190,000, and the net after-tax decrease to other comprehensive income totaled $14.1 million. Substantially all of this amount represents the estimated present value of the cost of settled forward sale contracts and the net interest payments on interest-rate swap contracts, using fair values as of September 30, 2001, and assuming no change in interest rates. Farmer Mac estimates that $2.6 million of the amount currently reported in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months. The Corporation entered into those interest-rate swap contracts to derive a lower effective fixed-rate cost of borrowing for periods of up to 15 years than would otherwise have been available to the Corporation in the conventional debt market. For the quarter ended September 30, 2001, the ineffectiveness of designated hedges included in Farmer Mac's net income was immaterial. Note 2. Off-Balance Sheet Guaranteed Securities For information regarding the off-balance sheet risks associated with Farmer Mac's guarantees of AMBS, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Management - Credit Risk." Note 3. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income plus other changes in stockholders' equity not resulting from investments by or distributions to stockholders. The following table sets forth comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000. The changes in unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale are net of the related deferred tax expense of $15.1 million and $2.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, and deferred tax expense of $1.8 million and $1.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively. The change in the fair value of financial derivatives classified as cash flow hedges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 is net of the related deferred tax benefit of $7.8 million and $7.9 million, respectively.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements made in this Form 10-Q are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that reflect management's current expectations for Farmer Mac's future financial results, business prospects and business developments. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements, and typically are accompanied by, and identified with, such terms as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "should" and similar expressions. The following management's discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements addressing Farmer Mac's prospects for earnings and growth in loan purchase, guarantee and securitization volume; trends in net interest income, delinquencies and provision for losses; changes in capital position; and other business and financial matters. Management's expectations for Farmer Mac's future necessarily involve a number of assumptions and estimates and the evaluation of risks and uncertainties. Various factors or events could cause Farmer Mac's actual results to differ materially from the expectations as expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including: uncertainties regarding the rate and direction of development of the secondary market for agricultural mortgage loans; substantial changes in interest rates, the agricultural economy (including agricultural land values, commodity prices, export demand for U.S. agricultural products and federal assistance to farmers) or the general economy; uncertainties as to the intended operation of the new risk-based capital standard promulgated by the Farm Credit Administration, which Farmer Mac is required to comply with by May 23, 2002; the implementation of additional statutory or regulatory restrictions applicable to Farmer Mac or restrictions on Farmer Mac's investment authority; protracted adverse weather, market or other conditions affecting particular geographic regions or particular commodities related to agricultural mortgage loans backing Farmer Mac guaranteed securities; legislative or regulatory developments or interpretations of Farmer Mac's statutory charter that could adversely affect Farmer Mac or the ability of certain lenders to participate in its programs or the terms of any such participation; the availability of debt funding in sufficient quantities and at favorable rates to support continued growth; the rate of growth in agricultural mortgage indebtedness; the size of the agricultural mortgage market; borrower preferences for fixed-rate agricultural mortgage indebtedness; the willingness of lenders to sell agricultural mortgage loans into the Farmer Mac secondary market; the willingness of investors to invest in agricultural mortgage-backed securities; competition in the origination or purchase of agricultural mortgage loans and the sale of agricultural mortgage-backed and debt securities; or changes in Farmer Mac's status as a government-sponsored enterprise. The foregoing factors are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report may include additional factors that could adversely affect Farmer Mac's business and its financial performance. Furthermore, new risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor assess the effects of such factors on Farmer Mac's business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Given these potential risks and uncertainties, no undue reliance should be placed on any forward-looking statements expressed in this report. Furthermore, Farmer Mac undertakes no obligation to release publicly the results of revisions to any forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events or circumstances. Results of Operations Operating Results. SFAS 133 requires the change in the fair values of certain financial derivatives to be reflected in the Corporation's net income or other comprehensive income. Management believes that reporting results by reference to operating income and operating revenues, excluding the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principles recognized on January 1, 2001 under SFAS 133 and its ongoing effects during the reporting periods, provides meaningful operating measures of Farmer Mac's financial performance. Such information is presented to supplement, not replace, net income, revenues, cash from operations, or any other operating or liquidity performance measures prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles. Overview. Net income for third quarter 2001, including the cumulative and ongoing effects of SFAS 133 during the quarter, was $4.9 million or $0.41 per share. Net income for third quarter 2000 was $2.7 million or $0.24 per share. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $10.8 million compared to $7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. This represents a 71 percent increase in net income per share. Operating income totaled $5.0 million for third quarter 2001, or $0.42 per share, compared to $2.7 million, or $0.24 per share, for third quarter 2000. Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $12.3 million, or $1.01 per share, compared to $7.6 million, or $0.66 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Farmer Mac's revenue growth continued in third quarter 2001, reflecting the effects of outstanding guarantee volume as of September 30, 2001 that was more than $1 billion higher than at the close of third quarter 2000 and net interest income earned on higher average interest-earning asset balances that were 82 percent higher than during third quarter 2000. During third quarter 2001, Farmer Mac (1) purchased $42.4 million of guaranteed portions of loans guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture ("USDA"), (2) purchased $69.6 million of Farmer Mac I loans and (3) added $246.5 million in long-term standby purchase commitments. Farmer Mac's outstanding guarantee volume increased during third quarter 2001 despite continued unfavorable economic conditions in the agricultural sector. Weak market opportunities for agricultural commodities and products and low commodity prices have persisted throughout 2001. Total direct governmental payments to the agricultural sector for 2000 as reported by the USDA were a record $22.9 billion. Although the USDA forecast for 2001 reflects slightly lower government payments of $20.0 billion, the decline is primarily due to a $2.5 billion reduction in deficiency payments resulting from higher crop prices. Overall, USDA is forecasting net cash income on farms at $60.8 billion, or 6 percent above the 2000 level and substantially above the 1990-2000 average of $55.0 billion. Nationwide, USDA currently forecasts farm real estate values to rise during 2001 to $932.9 billion, up slightly over 2000. Regionally, farm real estate values may vary with differing rates of increase, or even decreases, depending on commodities grown and regional economic factors. As unfavorable economic conditions in the agricultural sector persist, Farmer Mac has focused its marketing efforts on increasing awareness of the significance of its brand name and building relationships among agricultural lenders. Although Farmer Mac believes it is positioned well in the marketplace and that its planned marketing strategies for the remainder of 2001 and the first half of 2002 will produce portfolio transactions in the coming quarters, the timing and total volume of those transactions is uncertain at this time. During second quarter 2001, Farmer Mac, at the request of the Agriculture Committees in both the Senate and House of Representatives, presented testimony in connection with Congress' consideration of the reauthorization of the farm bill. In that testimony and in discussions with Committee staff and others who expressed interest in Farmer Mac's suggestion, the Corporation suggested that Congress consider adding the authority to establish a secondary market for rural development loans to the Corporation's authorities. At this time, there is no legislation being considered by Congress that includes a rural development secondary market proposal. Set forth below is a more detailed discussion of Farmer Mac's results of operations. Net Interest Income. Net interest income was $7.9 million for third quarter 2001 and $19.7 million year-to-date, compared to $4.3 million and $13.2 million for the same periods in 2000. The strength in the net interest yield is a result of continued emphasis on sound interest rate risk management and debt issuance strategies and a $781,000 increase from the income recognition due to yield maintenance payments received in conjunction with borrower prepayments during year-to-date 2001. The income realized from yield maintenance payments is, in effect, the accelerated present value of an expected future income stream which, in turn, leads to slightly reduced net interest income in future reporting periods. The timing and size of these payments varies greatly and, as such, variations should not be considered indicative of positive or negative trends to gauge future financial results. The following table provides information regarding the average balances and rates of interest-earning assets and funding for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000.

Guarantee fee income, the largest component of other income, was $4.2 million for third quarter 2001, compared to $3.0 million for third quarter 2000. The relative increase in guarantee fee income reflects an increase in the average balance of outstanding guarantees. Miscellaneous income was $137,000 for third quarter 2001, compared to $78,000 for third quarter 2000. Expenses. During third quarter 2001, operating expenses totaled $2.5 million, compared to $2.1 million for third quarter 2000. Operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenues were 21 percent for third quarter 2001, compared to 28 percent for third quarter 2000. Farmer Mac's provision for principal and interest losses was $2.0 million for third quarter 2001 and $4.7 million for year-to-date 2001, compared to $1.1 million and $3.4 million for the same periods in 2000. As of September 30, 2001, Farmer Mac's reserve for losses totaled $14.7 million, or 0.44 percent of outstanding post-1996 Act loans and AMBS, compared to $10.0 million, or 0.43 percent, as of September 30, 2000. The provision for income taxes totaled $2.5 million for second quarter 2001 and $6.1 million year-to-date, compared to $1.5 million and $4.2 million for the same periods in 2000. Farmer Mac's effective tax rate for third quarter 2001 was 33.3 percent compared to 35.5 percent for third quarter 2000. The reduction in the effective rate for reflects the effects of certain tax-advantaged investment securities. Business Volume. The following table sets forth the amount of loans purchased or guaranteed, and AMBS issued during the periods indicated:

See "Overview" above for a discussion regarding loans purchased and guaranteed by Farmer Mac. Indicators of future loan purchase volume in the immediately succeeding reporting period include outstanding commitments to purchase loans and the total balance of loans submitted for approval or approved but not yet purchased. Many purchase commitments entered into by Farmer Mac are mandatory delivery commitments. If a seller obtains a mandatory commitment and is unable to deliver the loans as required thereunder, Farmer Mac requires the seller to pay a fee to modify, extend or cancel the commitment. As of September 30, 2001, outstanding commitments to purchase or guarantee Farmer Mac I loans totaled $19.0 million, compared to $11.0 million as of September 30, 2000. Of the total Farmer Mac I commitments outstanding as of September 30, 2001 and 2000, $15.8 million and $5.2 million, respectively, were mandatory commitments. Loans submitted for approval or approved but not yet committed to purchase totaled $137.1 million as of September 30, 2001, compared to $109.1 million as of September 30, 2000. Not all of these loans are purchased, as some are denied for credit reasons or withdrawn by the seller. While significant progress has been made in developing the secondary market for agricultural mortgages, Farmer Mac continues to face the challenges of establishing a market where none previously existed. Use of Farmer Mac's programs is increasing among lenders, reflecting the competitive rates, terms and products offered and the advantages Farmer Mac's programs provide. For Farmer Mac to maximize its business development and profitability over the long term, the use of Farmer Mac's programs and products by agricultural mortgage lenders, whether traditional or non-traditional, must continue to expand. Balance Sheet Review During the nine month period ended September 30, 2001, total assets increased by $216 million, primarily due to an increase in on-balance sheet program assets (Farmer Mac guaranteed securities and loans). For further information regarding both on- and off-balance sheet guaranteed securities, see "Supplemental Information" below. Total liabilities increased by $219 million from December 31, 2000 to September 30, 2001 primarily due to an increase in notes payable. Average return on equity, excluding the effects of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and SFAS 133, reached 17.7 percent for third quarter 2001, compared to 11.3 percent for third quarter 2000. As of September 30, 2001, Farmer Mac's statutory core capital totaled $116.3 million, compared to $101.2 million as of December 31, 2000. As of September 30, 2001, the statutory core capital balance exceeded Farmer Mac's statutory minimum capital requirement by approximately $8.2 million. On April 12, 2001, the Farm Credit Administration ("FCA") issued its final risk-based capital regulation for Farmer Mac. The regulation became effective on May 23, 2001, and Farmer Mac will be required to meet the risk-based capital standards by May 23, 2002. As noted in our June 12, 2000 comment letter to the FCA on the proposed regulation, Farmer Mac believes that certain significant aspects of the risk-based capital regulation do not comply with the authorizing statute. We have maintained a dialogue with FCA regarding the application of the regulation and the complex underlying economic model - particularly the provisions that suggest to us that the FCA went outside the authorizing statute. If no change is made to the regulation before compliance is required, it could lead to an increase in the capital requirement for certain newly guaranteed program assets and so alter Farmer Mac's strategic plan for future growth. While we are at this time uncertain whether the regulation, as issued, would alter that strategic plan, we continue to expect that any issues raised by the regulation will be resolved in accordance with the authorizing statute before Farmer Mac is required to meet the risk-based capital standards. Risk Management Interest-Rate Risk. Farmer Mac's asset and liability management objective is to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on its equity and earnings to within acceptable risk tolerance levels. In doing so, Farmer Mac uses callable debt and derivative financial instruments, including interest-rate swaps and caps (collectively "interest-rate contracts"), forward sale contracts involving GSE debt and mortgage-backed securities and futures contracts involving U.S. Treasury securities. Farmer Mac uses interest-rate contracts to alter the interest-rate characteristics of specific investments or debt, which enable Farmer Mac better to match the interest-rate characteristics of its investments and debt. As of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the notional amount of interest-rate contracts totaled $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. Farmer Mac uses forward sale and futures contracts to reduce its interest-rate risk exposure to loans committed or purchased and not yet sold or funded as retained investments. As of September 30, 2001, the notional amount of outstanding forward sale and futures contracts totaled $111.8 million, compared to $8.6 million as of December 31, 2000. One method Farmer Mac uses to monitor its exposure to interest-rate risk is to measure the sensitivity of its market value of equity ("MVE") to an immediate and permanent parallel shift of the U.S. Treasury yield curve. The following schedule summarizes the results of Farmer Mac's MVE sensitivity analysis as of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000.
Percentage Change in MVE from Base Case --------------------------------------- Interest Rate September 30, December 31, Scenario 2001 2000 -------------- ------------------ ------------------ + 300 bp -5.3% -10.2% + 200 bp -1.8% -5.9% + 100 bp 0.4% -2.0% - 100 bp -2.6% -0.5% - 200 bp -5.8% -3.2% - 300 bp -13.8% -6.5%
Credit Risk. The outstanding principal balance of loans held and securities guaranteed by Farmer Mac as of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 is summarized in the table below.
September 30, December 31, 2001 2000 ---------------- ----------------- (in thousands) Farmer Mac I: Post-1996 Act $ 3,337,021 $ 2,508,997 Pre-1996 Act 58,813 83,513 Farmer Mac II 608,944 517,703 ---------------- ----------------- Total $ 4,004,778 $ 3,110,213 ---------------- -----------------
Farmer Mac assumes 100 percent of the credit risk on post-1996 Act Farmer Mac I loans; pre-1996 Act Farmer Mac I loans back securities that are supported by mandatory 10 percent first loss subordinated interests that mitigate credit exposure; Farmer Mac II loans are guaranteed by the USDA. Farmer Mac believes it has little or no credit risk exposure to pre-1996 Act Farmer Mac I loans because of the first loss subordinated interests related to pools of those loans, or to Farmer Mac II loans because of the USDA guarantee. As of September 30, 2001, post-1996 Act Farmer Mac I loans that were 90 days or more past due, in foreclosure or in bankruptcy represented 2.16 percent of the outstanding principal balance of all post-1996 Act Farmer Mac I loans, compared to 1.80 percent as of September 30, 2000 and 1.72 percent as of June 30, 2001. Farmer Mac anticipates fluctuations in the delinquency rate from quarter to quarter, with higher levels likely as of March 31 and September 30 of each year due to the semiannual payment characteristics of most Farmer Mac loans. The following table shows Farmer Mac I delinquencies distributed by post-1996 Act loans and pre-1996 Act loans.
Farmer Mac I Delinquencies (1) (2) -------------------------------------------------------------------- As of: Post-1996 Act Pre-1996 Act Total --------------- -------------- ------- September 30, 2001 2.16% 4.66% 2.21% June 30, 2001 1.72% 3.69% 1.77% March 31, 2001 2.62% 5.83% 2.72% December 31, 2000 1.25% 6.49% 1.44% September 30, 2000 1.80% 5.55% 1.96% June 30, 2000 1.25% 4.12% 1.41% March 31, 2000 1.45% 4.89% 1.65% (1) Includes loans 90 days or more past due, in foreclosure or in bankruptcy. (2) Farmer Mac assumes 100 percent of the credit risk on post-1996 Act loans. Pre-1996 Act loans back securities that are supported by unguaranteed first loss subordinated interests representing approximately 10 percent of the balance of the loans backing each security.
Farmer Mac maintains a reserve to cover losses incurred on post-1996 Act Farmer Mac I loans. Management believes that existing post-1996 Act delinquent loans have current loan-to-value ratios that adequately protect against losses at liquidation, with the exception of certain loans that are secured in whole or in part by depreciable assets or by real estate planted with commodities that do not benefit from direct governmental payments. Farmer Mac expects to incur losses upon the liquidation of some of those delinquent loans, such as the $750,000 in losses recognized during third quarter 2001. Management believes further potential losses are adequately covered by the reserve for losses, based on the value of the collateral securing the loans and Farmer Mac's loan collection experience. In certain collateral liquidation scenarios Farmer Mac may recover amounts previously written off if liquidation proceeds exceed previous estimates. During third quarter 2001, Farmer Mac recovered approximately $352,000 of previously written off assets. As of September 30, 2001, the weighted-average original loan-to-value ratio for all post-1996 Act loans was 49.4 percent. Farmer Mac's provision for principal and interest losses was $2.0 million for third quarter 2001, compared to $1.1 million for third quarter 2000 and $1.4 million for second quarter 2001. As of September 30, 2001, Farmer Mac's net reserve for losses totaled $14.7 million, or 0.44 percent of outstanding post-1996 Act loans and AMBS, compared to $10.0 million (0.43 percent) as of September 30, 2000. The following schedule summarizes the changes in the reserve for losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000:
