</TABLE>


(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.

Other Income. Other income, which is comprised of guarantee fee income and
miscellaneous income, totaled $4.3 million for third quarter 2001 and $11.7
million for year-to-date 2001, compared to $3.1 million and $8.6 million,
respectively, in 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.

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.

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.

</TABLE>



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
