                   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 using the indirect  method of  presentation.  The following  table
sets forth information  regarding certain cash and non-cash transactions for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

</TABLE>


(b)   Loans

      At June 30, 2000, loans held by Farmer Mac included $15.8 million held for
sale and $2.9 million held for investment.  At December 31, 1999,  loans held by
Farmer Mac  included  $21.4  million  held for sale and $17.1  million  held for
investment.

(c)   Interest-Rate Contracts and Hedge Instruments

      Interest-rate contracts,  including interest-rate swaps and caps, are used
to synthetically alter the interest rate characteristics of specific investments
or debt.  As such,  the net  differential  received  or paid is  recorded  as an
adjustment  to  interest   income  or  expense  of  the  associated   assets  or
liabilities, on an accrual basis.

      Hedge instruments,  consisting solely of forward sale contracts  involving
debt  securities of other  government-sponsored  enterprises  (GSEs) and futures
contracts involving U.S. Treasury  securities,  are used by Farmer Mac to manage
interest-rate  risk exposure  related to the purchase of loans and the issuances
of debt. Farmer Mac measures correlation using changes in interest rates for the
hedged items against changes in interest rates for the hedge instruments.  Gains
and losses on effective  hedge  instruments  that have been  terminated  or have
matured are  deferred  as an  adjustment  to the cost basis of the hedged  item.
Gains and losses on  ineffective  hedge  instruments  are  marked-to-fair  value
directly through the consolidated statement of income.

(d)   Earnings Per Share

      Basic  earnings per share are based on the weighted  average common shares
outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted average number
of common shares  outstanding  adjusted to include all dilutive potential common
stock.  The following  schedule  reconciles basic and diluted earnings per share
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999:

      Certain reclassifications of prior period information were made to conform
to the current period presentation.

Note 2.  Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

      In the  ordinary  course of its  business,  Farmer Mac incurs  off-balance
sheet risk in connection  with the issuance of  commitments to purchase and sell
loans, the issuance of its guarantee and the use of interest-rate  contracts and
hedge instruments.  At June 30, 2000, outstanding commitments to purchase Farmer
Mac  I and  II  loans  totaled  $14.4  million.  There  were  $20.0  million  of
commitments  outstanding  to  sell  loans  at June  30,  2000.  For  information
regarding  the  off-balance   sheet  risks  associated  with  off-balance  sheet
guarantees, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations - Risk Management - Credit Risk." For information  related
to the use of interest-rate contracts and hedge instruments,  see Note 1 (c) and
"Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations - Risk Management - Interest Rate Risk."

In June  1998,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative
Instruments and Hedging  Activities." The Statement  establishes  accounting and
reporting  standards  requiring  that  every  derivative  instrument  (including
certain derivative  instruments  embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the
balance  sheet as either an asset or liability  measured at its fair value.  The
Statement  requires  that changes in the  derivative's  fair value be recognized
currently  in  earnings  unless  specific  hedge  accounting  criteria  are met.
Accounting  for  qualifying  hedges  allows a  derivative's  gains and losses to
offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement,  and requires
that a company must formally document,  designate,  and assess the effectiveness
of transactions that receive hedge accounting.

SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 2000. SFAS
No. 133  cannot be applied  retroactively.  SFAS  No.133  must be applied to (a)
free-standing  derivative  instruments  and (b) certain  derivative  instruments
embedded  in hybrid  contracts  that were  issued,  acquired,  or  substantively
modified after December 31, 1998.  Farmer Mac is currently  assessing the impact
of adopting SFAS No. 133 on its  financial  statements.  However,  the Statement
could increase volatility in earnings and other comprehensive income.

Note 3.  Comprehensive Income

      Comprehensive  income 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 for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.  Comprehensive income is net of the
related tax  benefit/(expense) of $(1.4) million and $253 thousand for the three
and six months ended June 30,  2000,  respectively,  and $577  thousand and $346
thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, 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
pertaining  to  management's  current  expectations  as to 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,"  "expects,"  "intends," "should" and similar phrases.  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 could cause Farmer Mac's
actual results or events 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; the possible establishment of additional statutory or regulatory
restrictions  applicable  to Farmer Mac,  such as the  imposition  of regulatory
risk-based  capital  requirements  in excess of current  statutory  minimum  and
critical  capital levels or restrictions on Farmer Mac's  investment  authority;
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;  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 impact 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  impact 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 publicly release the results
of revisions to any  forward-looking  statements that may be made to reflect any
future events or circumstances.

Results of Operations

      Overview.  Net income  totaled $2.5 million for second  quarter  2000,  or
$0.22 per share on a  diluted  basis,  compared  to $1.7  million,  or $0.15 per
share,  for second  quarter  1999.  Earnings  per share for the  second  quarter
increased 45 percent over second quarter 1999.

      Farmer  Mac's  revenue  growth  continued  in the second  quarter of 2000,
reflecting the effect of outstanding guarantee volume 34 percent higher than one
year ago, and the  annuity-like  flow of guarantee  income  generated by program
assets.  Qualified loan purchases and guarantees  increased from depressed first
quarter  levels,  with combined volume in the second quarter up 116 percent over
the prior  quarter.  New guarantee  and loan purchase  volume during the quarter
increased but a modest 5 percent above the 1999 second  quarter  level,  largely
due to the continuation of unfavorable  economic  conditions in the agricultural
sector during the past fall and winter,  as well as higher interest  rates.  The
combination  of continuing low  agricultural  commodity  prices and  substantial
government  payments to farmers has slowed demand for new  mortgages  across all
sectors of the agricultural  lending  industry.  In addition to slowing down the
demand for mortgage lending in general, rising interest rates have also caused a
shift in borrower  demand from fixed rate to variable rate  mortgages  that many
agricultural  lenders have  traditionally  chosen to hold in portfolio,  further
reducing the supply of mortgages for sale into the secondary market.

      During the first half of 2000, Farmer Mac focused its marketing  resources
on laying the groundwork for portfolio  transactions,  in an effort to stimulate
interest in the use by portfolio lenders of sale, swap and standby  transactions
to more  efficiently  leverage  their  capital and diversify the credit risks in
their  portfolios.  These types of transactions tend to cluster toward year-end,
and Faremr Mac anticipates  that guarantee and loan purchase volume will pick up
during the second half of this year.

      Set forth below is a more  detailed  discussion of Farmer Mac's results of
operations.

     Net  Interest  Income.  Net  interest  income was $4.2  million  for second
quarter 2000, and $8.9 million  year-to-date 2000,  compared to $3.9 million and
$7.5 million for the same periods in 1999.  The increase in net interest  income
was primarily attributable to increases in the balance of program assets, driven
by Farmer Mac's  retention of AMBS.  The following  table  provides  information
regarding the average balances and rates of interest-earning  assets and funding
for the six months  ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.  The  decrease in net interest
yield  from the first six  months  of 1999 to the first six  months of 2000,  as
reflected in the table below,  was due to a combination of generally higher debt
spreads, a greater proportion of higher-rate  long-term debt, as well as tighter
spreads  on   short-term  and  variable  rate  investments  and  on  Farmer  Mac
guaranteed securities.

      Other Income. Other income, which is comprised of guarantee fee income and
miscellaneous  income,  totaled  $2.7  million for second  quarter 2000 and $5.5
million  for  year-to-date  2000,  compared to $1.8  million  and $3.3  million,
respectively,  in 1999.  Guarantee  fee income,  the largest  component of other
income,  was $2.8 million for second  quarter  2000, as compared to $1.6 million
for second  quarter 1999.  The relative  increases in guarantee  fees reflect an
increase in the average balance of outstanding guarantees.  Miscellaneous income
showed a loss of $10 thousand  for second  quarter  2000,  compared to income of
$132 thousand for second quarter 1999.

      Expenses.  During the second quarter 2000, operating expenses totaled $2.1
million  compared to $2.3 million for second  quarter 1999.  Operating  expenses
also  declined as a percentage  of total  revenues  for the same  quarters to 30
percent from 40 percent, respectively.

      Farmer Mac's  provision for principal and interest losses was $1.1 million
for second quarter 2000,  and $2.4 million for  year-to-date  2000,  compared to
$862 thousand and $1.7 million, respectively, for 1999. At June 30, 2000, Farmer
Mac's reserve for losses totaled $8.96  million,  or 0.46 percent of outstanding
post-1996 Act loans, compared to $4.9 million (0.34 percent) at June 30, 1999.

      Income Tax Expense.  The  provision  for income taxes totaled $1.4 million
for  second  quarter  2000,  and $2.7  million  year-to-date,  compared  to $873
thousand and $1.7 million for the same periods in 1999.  Farmer Mac's  effective
tax rate for the six months  ended June 2000 and 1999 was 35.5  percent and 34.0
percent, respectively.

</TABLE>


      See "Overview" for a discussion  regarding  changes in the amount of loans
purchased and guaranteed by Farmer Mac.

      Indicators of future  purchase and  guarantee  volume,  particularly  cash
window activity, include outstanding commitments to purchase loans and the total
balance of loans submitted for approval or approved but not yet purchased.  Most
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  required  thereunder  within the  specified  time period,  Farmer Mac
requires the seller to pay a fee to extend or cancel the commitment. At June 30,
2000,  outstanding  commitments  to  purchase  Farmer Mac I loans  totaled  $8.6
million,  compared to $12.1 million at June 30, 1999.  Of the total  commitments
outstanding  at  June  30,  2000  and  1999,  $4.8  million  and  $1.2  million,
respectively,  were  optional  commitments.  Loans  submitted  for  approval  or
approved but not yet committed to purchase  totaled  $117.3  million at June 30,
2000,  compared to $208.5  million at June 30, 1999.  Not all of these loans are
expected to be purchased,  as Farmer Mac expects to deny some for credit reasons
and to have others 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 new market.  Management  believes that  acceptance of Farmer
Mac's programs is increasing  among lenders,  reflecting the competitive  rates,
terms and products  offered and the  advantages we believe Farmer Mac's programs
provide.  For Farmer Mac to succeed in realizing  its business  development  and
profitability goals over the long term, however,  agricultural mortgage lenders,
whether traditional or non-traditional, must value the benefits of selling loans
to Farmer Mac or otherwise  obtaining  the benefits of the Farmer Mac  guarantee
and must be persuaded to modify their business practices accordingly.

Balance Sheet Review

      Total  assets grew by $112.9 million over the first half of 2000, due to a
$92.2 million  increase in  non-program  assets (cash and cash  equivalents  and
investments),  and a $21.0 million  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."

      Total  liabilities  increased by $106.6  million from December 31, 1999 to
June 30,  2000 due to growth in notes  payable,  which  corresponded  to the net
increase  in  program  and  non-program  assets.  Medium-term  notes,  including
discount notes converted to long-term debt through interest-rate swap contracts,
totaled $841.7 million at June 30, 2000,  compared to $797.5 million at December
31,  1999.  The increase in  medium-term  notes  corresponds  to AMBS issued and
retained by Farmer Mac during the first two quarters.

      During the first six months of 2000,  stockholders'  equity  increased  by
$6.3  million  as a result  of net  income  earned  during  that  time,  and the
reduction of an  unrealized  loss on  available-for-sale  securities,  which are
marked-to-fair value through equity. Farmer Mac's regulatory core capital, which
excludes unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale  securities,  totaled
$95.5  million at June 30, 2000  compared to $88.8 million at December 31, 1999.
The capital  balance at June 30, 2000 exceeded Farmer Mac's  regulatory  minimum
capital  requirements  by $12.0 million.  Farmer Mac's current  surplus  capital
would support  additional  asset growth in amounts  ranging from $438 million of
on-balance  sheet  assets to $1.6 billion of  off-balance  sheet assets based on
existing  minimum  capital  requirements.  Furthermore,  Farmer  Mac has an even
greater  ability to replace  on-balance  sheet  non-program  assets with on- and
off-balance  sheet program  assets and,  ultimately,  to sell  on-balance  sheet
program  assets in order to  support  increases  in  off-balance  sheet  program
activities.

      Return on average  equity  increased to 11.0 percent during second quarter
2000, compared to 8.7 percent during fourth quarter 1999.

Risk Management

      Interest Rate Risk. Farmer Mac's asset and liability  management objective
is to limit the effect of changes in interest  rates on its equity and  earnings
to within  acceptable risk tolerance levels. In doing so, Farmer Mac enters into
off-balance  sheet derivative  financial  instruments,  including  interest-rate
swaps and caps (collectively "interest-rate contracts"),  forward sale contracts
involving GSE debt  securities and futures  contracts  involving  U.S.  Treasury
securities. Interest-rate contracts are used to synthetically alter the interest
rate characteristics of specific investments or debt such that the interest rate
characteristics of Farmer Mac's investments and debt are better matched. At June
30, 2000,  the notional  amount of  interest-rate  contracts was $864.1  million
compared to $769.5  million at December 31,  1999.  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, which
totaled $3.8 million at June 30, 2000 and $19.7 million at December 31, 1999. At
June 30,  2000,  the  notional  amount of  outstanding  forward sale and futures
contracts totaled $3.7 million, compared to $16.7 million at December 31, 1999.

     Farmer Mac  monitors its  exposure to interest  rate risk by measuring  the
sensitivity  of its market value of equity (MVE) to an immediate  and  permanent
parallel shift in the Treasury yield curve.  The following  schedule  summarizes
the  results  of Farmer  Mac's MVE  sensitivity  analysis  at June 30,  2000 and
December 31, 1999. The increase in MVE  sensitivity  in the increasing  interest
rate scenarios reflects an increase in the amount of short-term debt at June 30,
2000 as compared to December 31, 1999 (see "Balance Sheet Review").

</TABLE>


      Farmer Mac  believes it has little or no credit risk  exposure to pre-1996
Act Farmer  Mac I loans  because of the  subordinated  interests  related to the
loans, or to Farmer Mac II loans because they are guaranteed by the USDA. Farmer
Mac assumes 100 percent of the credit risk on post-1996 Act loans;  pre-1996 Act
loans are supported by mandatory 10 percent subordinated interests that mitigate
credit exposure.

      At June 30, 2000,  post-1996  Act loans that were 90 days or more past due
represented  1.16 percent of the  principal  amount of all  post-1996 Act loans,
compared to 1.03 percent at June 30, 1999 and 0.94 percent at December 31, 1999.
Farmer Mac  anticipates  fluctuations  in the  delinquency  rate from quarter to
quarter  as  demonstrated  by the  increase  in such  rate at June  30,  2000 as
compared to December 31, 1999,  Higher  levels are likely to be reported  during
the  first  and  third  quarters  of each  year  due to the  semiannual  payment
characteristics  of most Farmer Mac loans.  For the  remainder  of 2000 and into
2001,  preliminary steps already taken by Congress to provide  additional income
support to the  agricultural  sector,  by  providing  for the  authorization  of
approximately  $7 billion in new farm assistance in the federal  budget,  should
help to moderate delinquencies.

      The following table segregates the post-1996 Act delinquencies at June 30,
2000 by year of origination, geographic region and commodity.

       Although  credit  losses are  expected  to be  incurred  on the  existing
post-1996 Act Farmer Mac I delinquencies,  Farmer Mac expects those losses to be
within  current  reserve levels based on the  collateral  values  supporting the
loans.  The  following  table  summarizes  the post-1996  Act  delinquencies  by
loan-to-value  ratio  (calculated by dividing the current loan principal balance
by the original appraised value):
