Company Overview 

Congress chartered Freddie Mac in 1970 with the mission 
of bringing liquidity, stability and affordability to the nation’s 
mortgage markets and expanding homeownership and 
affordable rental housing opportunities. Since then, Freddie 
Mac has made home possible more than 50 million times. 

As one of the largest purchasers of mortgage loans in  
the United States, Freddie Mac provides a vital link 
between mortgage lenders and investors. We don’t make 
mortgage loans directly to homebuyers. Rather, we benefit 
consumers by providing lenders across the country with  
a steady flow of low-cost mortgage funding in good times 
and bad. Because Freddie Mac also provides assistance 
for affordable rental housing, we’ve helped make home 
possible for more than 4 million renters.

Our mission of expanding affordable housing opportunities 
is the foundation of our business. It forms the framework 
for our business activities, shapes the products we bring to 
market and drives the services we provide to the nation’s 
housing and mortgage industry. Everything we do comes 
back to making America’s mortgage markets liquid and 
stable and increasing opportunities for homeownership 
and affordable rental housing across America.  n

Freddie Mac 2006 Annual Report

A Message from the Chairman 

2006 was a challenging year in the U.S. housing and mortgage markets, and  

Freddie Mac shared in those challenges. But even though housing weakened last 

year, Freddie Mac gained some strength.

Housing starts tumbled by 13 percent in 2006. Home purchases fell 10 percent. 

Mortgage originations dropped and home prices began to decline in a number of 

local markets. And the possibility of further weakness in the sector remains a leading 

concern for economic growth in 2007 — particularly if accompanied by widespread 

loan defaults or a severe tightening of credit standards.

At this writing, defaults and late payments have remained relatively low on prime mort-

gages, which are made to lower-risk borrowers and account for the lion’s share of home 

loans. But late payments have risen swiftly over the past year on subprime mortgages, 

those made to borrowers having spottier credit histories and posing higher risks.

Yet despite last year’s many challenges — which included reduced housing affordability, 

rising mission demands, tight spreads, intense competition and voluntary limits on 

our retained portfolio — Freddie Mac made continued progress. We increased our 

earnings, served our vital public mission and strengthened our franchise.

We did not meet all our 2006 objectives, particularly as to financial reporting and 

internal controls. This was very disappointing to me and to your entire management 

team. But we have implemented a sound, comprehensive plan to make the needed 

improvements and are moving ahead briskly. The timing of this annual report is itself 

one small sign of progress. Our plan should allow us to resume quarterly reporting  

in the second half of 2007.

Key Accomplishments

Building Shareholder Value

I’ll begin by summarizing Freddie Mac’s improved business and financial performance. 

Our net income grew last year to approximately $2.2 billion, up roughly 4 percent 

from 2005. Return on common equity was 8.6 percent, up from 7.7 percent for 2005. 

Fair value, another very important measure of our performance, grew before capital 

transactions by approximately $2.5 billion last year, compared to a $1.0 billion increase 

in 2005. Fair value return on equity was approximately 9.5 percent, rebounding from 3.7 

percent the previous year.

This improved performance was based on several factors. For starters, we achieved 

strong growth of 10.6 percent in our credit guarantee portfolio — slightly outpacing 

the overall market. By earning high marks for customer satisfaction and purchasing a 

broader range of loans, we were able to buy not only a larger volume but also a more 

representative mix of mortgages in 2006. This performance reflected the company’s 

enhanced responsiveness and the efforts of our sales force. We ended the year with a 

total of $1.5 trillion in mortgage securities issued — up from less than $1 trillion in 2001.

Another key to Freddie Mac’s success in 2006 was our disciplined management 

of interest-rate risk. One of the many reasons was our extensive use of callable 

debt — which we use more than most mortgage investors and believe gives us a real 

comparative advantage in managing risk. As a result, we came through a challenging 

year well positioned to deal with a broad range of interest-rate conditions, and with the 

value of our shareholders’ equity well protected from interest rate swings.

On the credit risk side, Freddie Mac’s exposures remained well controlled and our total 

single-family 90-day delinquencies actually declined during the year. At year’s end, 

only 6 percent of our total mortgage portfolio was in nontraditional mortgages and the 

portfolio’s average loan-to-value ratio was 57 percent. Experience and recent market 

developments tell us to be careful, however, and we are keeping a watchful eye on our 

2006 book of business. While we are in better position than many, we have set aside 

increased loan loss reserves, as our credit portfolio remains vulnerable to significant 

declines in house prices.

Low funding costs were another building block of our success in 2006, with improvements 

across the yield curve. As an example, our funding cost advantage relative to LIBOR for 
our 10-year Reference Notes® securities increased in 2005 and 2006 by almost 20 basis 

points. We’ve said before that when spreads are tight, we may lose some return on the 

asset side, but we can often make up ground on the debt side. That is exactly what we 

did last year, by capitalizing on our improved funding costs.

Freddie Mac 2006 Annual Report

Capital management remains a priority for us. Freddie Mac increased our common 

dividend again in 2006 to $2.00 per share annually, bringing the total increase in our 

dividend to 92 percent since the end of 2003. Moreover, we returned $2 billion to our 

common shareholders in a preferred-for-common restructuring. All told, we returned 

some $3.3 billion to common shareholders last year — the most in Freddie Mac history.

Going forward, Freddie Mac remains strongly capitalized. With a strong balance sheet, 

our estimated regulatory core capital grew in 2006 to over $36 billion. As we complete 

our financial reporting and internal controls remediation, I hope we will be in a better 

position to return some of the capital in excess of our statutory minimum that we have 

accumulated over the past several years. And I’m pleased to report that, consistent 

with discussions with our regulator, our board has approved an additional $1 billion in 

common repurchases and preferred offerings this year.

Serving Our Mission 

As a government-sponsored enterprise (GSE), Freddie Mac faced mounting mission 

challenges in 2006:  reduced affordability, rising concerns about credit quality and 

predatory lending, a housing sector losing momentum, and HUD affordable housing 

goals of unprecedented difficulty. Despite these challenges, we served our mission 

well — providing liquidity, affordability and stability to the housing finance market, and  

to a broader economy hoping to see a “soft landing” for housing.

I am proud that Freddie Mac’s affordable performance in 2006 was among our  

strongest ever. We believe we met the most demanding affordable housing goals in  

the company’s history, pending determination by the U.S. Department of Housing and 

Urban Development. Of the nearly 3.3 million homes we financed last year, almost  

56 percent were affordable to low- or moderate-income families. We served 300,000 

first-time homebuyers. And in another record year for our growing multifamily business, 

we financed almost half a million affordable apartment homes.

We also believe we achieved two of our three subgoals, although we reported to HUD 

that we just missed one of the extremely challenging subgoals by less than 700 loans out 

of more than 900,000 eligible mortgage purchases. The difficulty of this challenge was 

magnified by market forces affecting the entire housing sector that made the average 

home less affordable in 2006. It also highlighted the GSEs’ need to strike a balance 

between striving to achieve demanding housing goals and ensuring that we do not 

encourage imprudent lending.

When Hurricane Katrina riveted the nation’s attention in 2005, Freddie Mac was there to 

help. In 2006, long after most television cameras were gone, Freddie Mac stayed actively 

involved in rebuilding the Gulf Coast region. After the hurricanes struck, we pledged to 

Freddie Mac 2006 Annual Report

buy $1 billion in mortgage revenue bonds (MRBs) from state and local housing finance 

agencies in the Gulf. We fully met that commitment in 2006, less than 12 months later. 

The MRBs we have purchased will provide low-cost financing for more than 10,000 

families. In addition, Freddie Mac provided well over $700 million in mortgage funding last 

year for multifamily properties along the Gulf Coast.

Freddie Mac acted last year to ease the increasing strains on housing affordability. We 

supported our lenders by introducing an innovative 40-year product that combines the 

advantages of a fixed-rate loan with lower monthly costs. And we expanded our special 

workforce housing initiative to include military families, as well as police, firefighters, 

teachers and nurses. Those who defend us from harm, teach our children and care for 

our sick should be able to live in the communities they serve.

This February, in order to protect consumers and raise underwriting standards, Freddie Mac 

took the lead in announcing that after September 1, we will not buy subprime mortgages 

that pose an unacceptable risk of excessive payment shock and possible foreclosure. As 

a GSE, we feel a responsibility not only to help families buy their own homes, but to help 

them keep their homes, as well.

Freddie Mac also exerted responsible leadership in 2006 by addressing concerns about 

credit quality and practices in the housing finance market. For instance, we developed 

and instituted workout policies that can significantly reduce the odds of home loss 

through foreclosure. We also continued educating consumers on how to avoid predatory 

practices, and maintained our pioneering policies that led the industry in recent years to 

reject abusive loans that limit consumers’ rights.

Strengthening Our Team

We strengthened Freddie Mac last year by building out the company’s executive team 

in several areas vital to our success. Of great interest to our investors is the addition of 

Buddy Piszel as Chief Financial Officer. Buddy brings experience and zeal to the task of 

making Freddie Mac’s financials more transparent, accessible and useful to investors. 

Other key additions included our new head of Enterprise Operational Risk, Gareth Davies; 

General Auditor, Kirk Die; Corporate Controller, Jim Egan; Chief Information Officer, 

Jim Hughes; Senior Vice President for Market Risk Oversight, Manoj Singh; and Vice 

President for Internal Controls, Jim Larkin, among others.

Of course, the strength of our team goes far beyond its executives. Freddie Mac’s greatest 

asset is its skilled and dedicated employees, and their efforts are critical to our success. 

So we were gratified by our enhanced employee engagement in 2006, and we thank all 

our employees for their hard work.

Challenges to be Addressed

While Freddie Mac reached many of our goals last year, some major challenges remained 

unmet. Foremost among them was the essential task of getting current in our financials 

and strengthening our internal controls. There’s no question this has taken longer than 

any of us expected.

Fortunately, we have developed and are carrying out a comprehensive plan that 

embodies our detailed blueprint for completing this job. We have first-rate teams and 

project leaders implementing this plan and they are making good progress. Our goal 

is to return to quarterly financial reporting this year. And we are working assiduously to 

improve our internal controls systems and infrastructure. As I said in last year’s letter 

to stockholders, Freddie Mac must become the standard of excellence not only for 

managing mortgage risk, but for the accounting and internal controls associated with it. 

The highly competitive, tight-spread environment we faced last year is another ongoing 

challenge for us in 2007. Our improved funding costs are part of the answer, as I 

mentioned. More broadly, we must continue to take other steps going forward — as with 

our expanded use of structured securities, for example — to generate acceptable returns 

in spite of tight margins.

Freddie Mac worked hard to hold its own in market share last year. While last year’s 43 

percent share was marginally below our 2005 figure, we consciously turned away some 

business that would not have served our mission or return objectives, rather than pursue 

additional share for share’s sake. Looking ahead, we are focused on pricing issues as 

well as strong customer relationships.

Senior management is also keenly focused on Freddie Mac’s expenses. Although 

these rose modestly last year — mostly in professional services related to our financial 

remediation — their rate of growth still was exceeded by the rate of growth in our business. 

This was in keeping with our long-term goal of managing administrative expenses to be a 

decreasing percentage of our mortgage portfolio, subject to the near-term imperative that 

we complete our needed investments in financial reporting and internal controls.

Building a stronger future for this company includes building support for the GSE model. 

Freddie Mac continues to strongly support an appropriate legislative solution that would 

strengthen our oversight and enable us to fulfill our vital housing mission. And we are 

playing a constructive role toward that end. Throughout 2006, we worked closely with our 

regulators at OFHEO and HUD, with the Administration and with Congress, to achieve 

balanced legislative and regulatory solutions that address the concerns of the past but 

are consistent with the growing demands of the future. This will remain a focus for me, 

and for this company, until the job is done. 

Freddie Mac 2006 Annual Report

Our guiding principle in this is that we support an independent regulatory structure 

modeled on that for banks. Once legislation is enacted, it is likely to remain in place for a 

very long time. Accordingly, we feel we have a responsibility to housing, our shareholders 

and the country at large to make our views known.

That’s why I have explained publicly how the GSEs will become even more important in 

the years to come. And that, in turn, is why I have asked decision-makers not to unduly 

hamper the GSEs, just as the nation is about to need us most.

Conclusion

Looking at 2006 as a whole — from our growing guarantee volumes and earnings, to 

our vital housing mission, to our internal and external progress — one overarching fact 

emerges. While we did not accomplish everything we wanted to, Freddie Mac ended the 

year in a stronger position than we began it.

Our challenge is to put enough years like that back to back and become a high 

performer. All my experience makes me confident that this is what is happening at 

Freddie Mac — and our trajectory is clear.

However, it is your confidence in this company that truly matters. For it is what allows 

us to make home possible for America’s families; to exert responsible leadership; and 

to lower costs for homeowners and renters alike. The congressional genius in designing 

the GSEs was to accomplish a public mission not with federal expenditures, but using 

private capital.

So thank you for your confidence in this franchise. It is what makes the GSE model work. 

And our aim every day is to earn it.  n

Sincerely,

Richard F. Syron

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Overview

BUSINESS

Freddie Mac is a stockholder-owned company chartered by Congress in 1970 to stabilize the nation's residential
mortgage markets and expand opportunities for homeownership and aÅordable rental housing. Our mission is to provide
liquidity, stability and aÅordability to the U.S. housing market. We fulÑll our mission by purchasing residential mortgages
and mortgage-related securities in the secondary mortgage market. We are one of the largest purchasers of mortgage loans
in the U.S. We purchase mortgages and bundle them into mortgage-related securities that can be sold to investors. We can
use the proceeds to purchase additional mortgages from primary market mortgage lenders, thus providing them with a
continuous Öow of funds. We also purchase mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities for our investments portfolio. We
Ñnance our purchases for our investments portfolio and manage associated interest-rate and other market risks primarily by
issuing a variety of debt instruments and entering into derivative contracts in the capital markets.

Though we are chartered by Congress, our business is funded completely with private capital. We are responsible for

making payments on our securities. Neither the U.S. government nor any other agency or instrumentality of the U.S.
government is obligated to fund our mortgage purchase or Ñnancing activities or to guarantee our securities and other
obligations.

Our Charter and Mission

The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Act, which we refer to as our charter, forms the framework for our
business activities, shapes the products we bring to market and drives the services we provide to the nation's residential
housing and mortgage industries. Our charter also determines the types of mortgage loans that we are permitted to purchase,
as described in ""Business Activities Ì Types of Mortgages We Purchase.'' 

Our mission is deÑned in our charter:
‚ to provide stability in the secondary market for residential mortgages;
‚ to respond appropriately to the private capital market;
‚ to provide ongoing assistance to the secondary market for residential mortgages (including activities relating to

mortgages on housing for low- and moderate-income families involving a reasonable economic return that may be less
than the return earned on other activities) by increasing the liquidity of mortgage investments and improving the
distribution of investment capital available for residential mortgage Ñnancing; and

‚ to promote access to mortgage credit throughout the U.S. (including central cities, rural areas and other underserved
areas) by increasing the liquidity of mortgage investments and improving the distribution of investment capital
available for residential mortgage Ñnancing.

To facilitate our mission, our charter provides us with special attributes including:
‚ exemption from the registration and reporting requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act, and
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. We are, however, subject to the general antifraud
provisions of the federal securities laws and have committed to the voluntary registration of our common stock with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act;

‚ favorable treatment of our securities under various investment laws and other regulations;
‚ discretionary authority of the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase up to $2.25 billion of our securities; and
‚ exemption from state and local taxes, except for taxes on real property that we own.
Our activities in the secondary mortgage market beneÑt consumers by providing lenders a steady Öow of low-cost
mortgage funding. This Öow of funds helps moderate cyclical swings in the housing market, equalizes the Öow of mortgage
funds regionally throughout the U.S. and makes mortgage funds available in a variety of economic conditions. In addition,
the supply of cash made available to lenders through this process reduces mortgage rates on loans within the dollar limits

Freddie Mac

set in accordance with our charter. These lower rates help make home ownership aÅordable for more families and individuals
than would be possible without our participation in the secondary mortgage market.

Residential Mortgage Debt Market

We compete in the large and growing U.S. residential mortgage debt market. This market consists of a primary
mortgage market that links homebuyers and lenders and a secondary mortgage market that links lenders and investors. At
December  31,  2006,  our  Total  mortgage  portfolio  was  $1.8  trillion,  while  the  total  U.S.  residential  mortgage  debt
outstanding was estimated to be approximately $10.9 trillion.

Growth in the U.S. residential mortgage debt market is aÅected by several factors, including changes in interest rates,

employment rates in various regions of the country, home ownership rates, home price appreciation, lender preferences
regarding credit risk and borrower preferences regarding mortgage debt. The amount of residential mortgage debt available
for us to purchase and the mix of available loan products are also aÅected by several factors, including the volume of single-
family mortgages meeting the requirements of our charter and the purchase and securitization activity of other Ñnancial
institutions. See ""RISK FACTORS.''

Following several years of substantial growth in the residential mortgage market, driven by historically low interest rates

and a strong housing market with record home sales and signiÑcant home price appreciation, the residential mortgage
market slowed in 2006. Home sales declined, inventories of homes for sale increased and the rate of home price appreciation
slowed. However, mortgage rates remained low by historical standards and continued to contribute to demand in the
residential mortgage market.

Home price appreciation is an important market indicator for us because it represents the general trend in value
associated with the single-family mortgage loans underlying our Mortgage Participation CertiÑcates, or PCs, and Structured
Securities. As home prices appreciate, the risk of borrower defaults generally declines and the severity of credit losses also
declines. Estimates of nationwide home price appreciation varied for 2006, with some indicating a slight overall decline in
home prices and others indicating moderate growth. However, by any measure, the nationwide rate of home price
appreciation is well below that seen in recent years and we expect that it will continue to weaken in the near term. Despite
the slowdown in the housing market, total residential mortgage debt outstanding in the U.S. grew by an estimated 9 percent
in 2006 as compared with 14 percent in 2005. We expect that the amount of total residential mortgage debt outstanding will
continue to rise in 2007, though at a slower rate than in the past few years. Table 1 includes some important indicators for
the U.S. residential mortgage market.

Primary Mortgage Market Ì Our Customers

Our customers are predominantly lenders in the primary mortgage market that originate mortgages for homebuyers.
These lenders include mortgage banking companies, commercial banks, savings banks, community banks, credit unions, state
and local housing Ñnance agencies and savings and loan associations. A lender that originates a mortgage can hold the
mortgage in its own portfolio, securitize the mortgage or sell the mortgage to a secondary mortgage market investor, such as
Freddie Mac.

We acquire a signiÑcant portion of our single-family mortgages from several large lenders. In 2006, three mortgage

lenders each accounted for 10 percent or more of our single-family mortgage purchase volume. These lenders collectively
accounted for approximately 51 percent of this volume. In addition, in 2006, our top ten lenders represented approximately
76 percent of our single-family mortgage purchase volume. These top lenders are among the largest mortgage loan
originators in the U.S. We have contracts with a number of mortgage lenders that include a commitment by the lender to sell
us a minimum percentage or dollar amount of its mortgage origination volume. These contracts typically last for one year. If
a mortgage lender fails to meet its contractual commitment, we have a variety of contractual remedies, including the right
to assess certain fees. As the mortgage industry has been consolidating, we, as well as our competitors, have been seeking

2

Freddie Mac

increased business from a decreasing number of key lenders. We are continuing to work to diversify our customer base and
thus reduce the risk and impact of losing a key customer. See ""RISK FACTORS Ì Competitive and Market Risks.''

Secondary Mortgage Market

We participate in the secondary mortgage market generally by buying whole loans (i.e., mortgage loans that have not

been securitized) and mortgage-related securities for our Retained portfolio and by issuing guaranteed mortgage-related
securities. We do not lend money directly to homebuyers. Our principal competitors are the Federal National Mortgage
Association, or Fannie Mae, a similarly chartered government-sponsored enterprise, or GSE, the Federal Home Loan Banks
and other Ñnancial institutions that retain or securitize mortgages, such as commercial and investment banks, dealers and
thrift institutions. We compete on the basis of price, products, structure and service.

Business Activities

We generate income primarily through two business activities Ì portfolio investment activities and credit guarantee

activities Ì operating as one business segment. For a summary and description of our Ñnancial performance and Ñnancial
condition, see ""MD&A'' and ""CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA''
and the accompanying notes to our consolidated Ñnancial statements. At December 31, 2006, we had total assets of
$813.1 billion and total stockholders' equity of $28.3 billion, and for the year ended December 31, 2006, we reported net
income of $2.2 billion. At February 28, 2007, we had 5,400 full-time and 135 part-time employees. Our principal oÇces are
located in McLean, Virginia.

Types of Mortgages We Purchase

Our charter establishes general parameters for the terms and principal amounts of the mortgages we may purchase, as
described below. We also purchase mortgage-related securities that are backed by single-family or multifamily mortgages.
Within our charter parameters, the residential mortgage loans we purchase or that underlie mortgage-related securities we
purchase generally fall into one of two categories:

‚ Single-Family Mortgages. Single-family mortgages are secured by one- to four-family properties. The types of

single-family mortgages we purchase include 40-year, 30-year, 20-year, 15-year and 10-year Ñxed-rate mortgages,
interest-only mortgages, adjustable-rate mortgages, or ARMs, and balloon/reset mortgages.

‚ Multifamily Mortgages. Multifamily mortgages are secured by properties with Ñve or more residential rental units.
These mortgages have terms generally ranging from Ñve to thirty years. Our multifamily mortgage products, services
and initiatives are designed primarily to Ñnance aÅordable rental housing for low- and moderate-income families.

Conforming Loan Limits. Our charter places a dollar amount cap, called the ""conforming loan limit,'' on the size of

the original principal balance of single-family mortgage loans we purchase. This limit is determined annually using a
methodology that is based on changes in the national average price of a one-family residence, as surveyed by the Federal
Housing Finance Board, or FHFB, each October. For 2007 and 2006, the conforming loan limit for a one-family residence
was set at $417,000; for 2005, the limit was set at $359,650; and for 2004, the limit was set at $333,700. Higher limits apply
to two- to four-family residences. The conforming loan limits are also 50 percent higher for mortgages secured by properties
in Alaska, Guam, Hawaii and the U.S. Virgin Islands. No comparable limits apply to our purchases of multifamily
mortgages.

Loan-to-Value Ratios and Mortgage Insurance. Under our charter, mortgages that are not guaranteed or insured by
any agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government are referred to as ""conventional mortgages.'' Our charter requires that
we obtain additional credit protection if the unpaid principal balance of a conventional single-family mortgage that we
purchase exceeds 80 percent of the value of the property securing the mortgage. See ""MD&A Ì RISK MANAGE-
MENT Ì Credit Risks Ì Mortgage Credit Risk Ì Credit Enhancements'' for more information regarding the credit
enhancements and other credit protections we obtain.

Loan Quality. Under our charter, our mortgage purchases are limited, so far as practicable, to mortgages we deem to

be of a quality, type and class that generally meet the purchase standards of private institutional mortgage investors. To
manage credit risks with respect to our mortgage purchases, we have developed internal credit policies and appraisal,
underwriting and other purchase policies and guidelines. We design mortgage loan underwriting guidelines to enable primary
mortgage market lenders to assess the creditworthiness of the borrower and the borrower's capacity to fulÑll the obligations
of the mortgage. We review these guidelines in an eÅort to ensure their eÅectiveness and to address the needs of the
changing marketplace Ì including the needs of minorities, low- and moderate-income borrowers and other borrowers who
are underserved by the traditional housing Ñnance system. In many cases, underwriting standards are tailored under
contracts  with  individual  customers.  We  have  also  been  expanding  the  share  of  mortgages  we  purchase  that  were
underwritten  by  our  seller/servicers  using  alternative  automated  underwriting  systems  or  agreed-upon  underwriting

3

Freddie Mac

standards that diÅer from our systems or guidelines. See ""MD&A Ì RISK MANAGEMENT Ì Credit Risks Ì Mortgage
Credit Risk Ì Underwriting Requirements and Quality Control Standards'' for additional information regarding our
underwriting standards.

Investment and Funding Activities
We purchase mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities and hold them in our Retained portfolio for investment
purposes. We invest in mortgage-related securities issued by GSEs or government agencies, referred to as agency securities.
We also invest in non-agency mortgage-related securities. Our portfolio purchases replenish the capital available for
mortgage lending. We face competition from other Ñnancial institutions that buy mortgage-related securities issued by the
GSEs and non-agency issuers.

We manage our Retained portfolio through a strategy of long-term capital deployment. We apply our expertise in
mortgage markets and mortgage assets to identify attractive asset purchase opportunities while managing our interest-rate
risk. Our asset selection process may contemplate restructuring activities to improve our investment returns and fair value
results. We may purchase mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities with less attractive investment returns as part of
our eÅorts to achieve our aÅordable housing goals and subgoals.

In response to a request by the OÇce of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, or OFHEO, we announced on August 1,

2006 that we would voluntarily limit the growth of our Retained portfolio to no more than 2.0 percent annually (and
0.5 percent quarterly on a cumulative basis), based on its carrying value as contained in our minimum capital report to
OFHEO Ñled on July 28, 2006, which was $710.3 billion. We expect to keep the limit, which was eÅective as of July 1, 2006,
in place until we return to producing and publicly releasing quarterly Ñnancial statements prepared in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Changes in the carrying value of our Retained portfolio are
aÅected by several factors, including purchases, sales, prepayments on mortgage-related investments and changes in fair
value primarily related to changes in interest rates. As market interest rates change, we may adjust our purchase and/or sale
decisions in order to remain within the limit.

We issue short-, medium- and long-term debt securities, subordinated debt securities and preferred stock to Ñnance

purchases of mortgages and mortgage-related securities and other business activities. Our debt funding program is designed
to oÅer liquid securities to the global capital markets in a transparent and predictable manner. By diversifying our investor
base and the types of debt securities we oÅer, we believe we enhance our ability to maintain continuous access to the debt
markets under a variety of conditions. We manage our debt funding costs by issuing debt of various maturities that is either
callable (i.e., redeemable at our option at one or more times before its scheduled maturity) or non-callable. Our funding
mix also helps us manage our interest-rate risk by closely matching the interest obligations on our debt with the expected
cash inÖows from our mortgage-related investments. To further manage interest-rate risks, we use a variety of derivatives.
We also use Structured Securities, described below, to restructure cash Öows from mortgage-related securities, retaining a
portion of these restructured cash Öows. See ""MD&A Ì RISK MANAGEMENT Ì Interest-Rate Risk and Other
Market Risks'' for more information.

Because of our GSE status and the special attributes granted to us under our charter, our debt securities and those of
other GSE issuers trade in the so-called ""agency sector'' of the debt markets. This highly liquid market segment exhibits its
own yield curve reÖecting our ability to borrow at lower rates than many other corporate debt issuers. As a result, we mainly
compete for funds in the debt issuance markets with Fannie Mae and the Federal Home Loan Banks, which issue debt
securities of comparable quality and ratings. However, we also compete for funding with other debt issuers. The demand
for, and liquidity of, our debt securities, and those of other GSEs, beneÑt from their status as permitted investments for
banks, investment companies and other Ñnancial institutions under their statutory and regulatory framework. Competition
for funding can vary with economic, Ñnancial market and regulatory environments.

For  additional  information  about  our  debt  securities,  see  ""MD&A Ì LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RE-

SOURCES Ì Liquidity Ì Debt Securities.''

Credit Guarantee Activities
We guarantee the payment of principal and interest on mortgage-related securities in exchange for a fee, which we refer

to as a guarantee fee. The types of mortgage-related securities we guarantee include the following:

‚ PCs we issue;
‚ single-class and multi-class Structured Securities we issue; and
‚ securities related to tax-exempt multifamily housing revenue bonds.
We enhance our ability to attract a representative mix of mortgage debt outstanding by diversifying our seller base,

expanding new product capabilities and improving customer service. Through investor and dealer outreach programs,

4

Freddie Mac

securitization product development and improvements to liquidity, transparency and predictability, we attract a broad array
of investors. Our eÅorts to improve the supply of, and demand for, our products are critical to their liquidity and support our
mission.

The securitization market is extremely competitive and we have reduced our guarantee fees on new business in order to

maintain our market share. At the same time, the expected future credit costs associated with our new credit guarantee
business have increased. We make trade-oÅs in our pricing in order to support liquidity in various segments of the residential
mortgage market, to support the liquidity and price performance of our PCs and to acquire business in pursuit of our
aÅordable housing goals and subgoals. In addition, we seek to maintain our share of the total residential mortgage
securitization market and our share of the GSE securitization market by improving customer service, and expanding our
customer base, the types of mortgages we guarantee and the products we oÅer.

Because the price performance of, and demand for, our PCs have generally been less than Fannie Mae's securities, we
may use market-adjusted pricing for our guarantees through which we provide guarantee fee or other transaction fee price
adjustments to partially oÅset weaknesses in prevailing security prices. We believe these price-adjustments increase the
competitiveness of our credit guarantee business. The use of such market-adjusted pricing reduces the proÑtability of our
new credit guarantee business over its life.

Guarantees of PCs. We issue single-class mortgage-related securities that represent undivided interests in pools of

mortgages we have purchased. We refer to these mortgage-related securities as PCs. We guarantee the payment of principal
and interest to the holders of our PCs. We issue most of our PCs in transactions in which our customers sell us mortgage
loans in exchange for PCs. Other PC investors may include pension funds, insurance companies, securities dealers, money
managers, foreign central banks and other Ñxed-income investors. Investors may choose to hold these PCs in their portfolios
or sell them to others. Our guarantee increases the marketability of our PCs, providing additional liquidity to the mortgage
market.

Guarantees of Structured Securities. We also issue securities representing beneÑcial interests in pools of PCs and

certain other types of mortgage-related assets. We refer to these mortgage-related securities as Structured Securities. We
guarantee the payment of principal and interest on most of the Structured Securities we issue. By issuing Structured
Securities, we seek to provide liquidity to alternative segments of the mortgage market. We issue many of our Structured
Securities in transactions in which securities dealers or investors sell us the mortgage-related assets underlying the
Structured Securities in exchange for the Structured Securities. We also sell Structured Securities to securities dealers or
investors in exchange for cash.

We issue single-class Structured Securities and multi-class Structured Securities. Single-class Structured Securities
pass through the cash Öows on the underlying mortgage-related assets. Multi-class Structured Securities divide the cash
Öows of the underlying mortgage-related assets into two or more classes that meet the investment criteria and portfolio needs
of diÅerent investors. Our principal multi-class Structured Securities qualify for tax treatment as Real Estate Mortgage
Investment Conduits, or REMICs. For purposes of this Information Statement, multi-class Structured Securities include
Structured Securities backed by non-agency mortgage-related securities.

Guarantees Related to Tax-Exempt Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds. We guarantee the payment of principal and

interest on tax-exempt multifamily housing revenue bonds that support pass-through certiÑcates issued by third parties.
These housing revenue bonds are collateralized by mortgage loans on low- and moderate-income multifamily housing
projects. In addition, we guarantee the payment of principal and interest related to low- and moderate-income multifamily
mortgage loans underlying tax-exempt multifamily housing revenue bonds.

PC and Structured Securities Support Activities. We support the liquidity and depth of the market for PCs through a
variety of activities, including educating dealers and investors about the merits of trading and investing in PCs, enhancing
disclosure related to the collateral underlying our securities and introducing new mortgage-related securities products and
initiatives. We support the price performance of our PCs through a variety of strategies, including the issuance of Structured
Securities and the purchase and sale by our Retained portfolio of PCs and other agency securities, including Fannie Mae
securities. While some purchases of PCs may result in expected returns that are substantially below our normal thresholds,
this strategy is not expected to have a material eÅect on our long-term economic returns. Depending upon market conditions,
including the relative prices, supply of and demand for PCs and comparable Fannie Mae securities, as well as other factors,
such as the voluntary limit on the growth of our Retained portfolio, there may be substantial variability in any period in the
total amount of securities we purchase or sell for our Retained portfolio in accordance with this strategy. We may increase,
reduce or discontinue these or other related activities at any time, which could aÅect the liquidity and depth of the market
for PCs.

The To Be Announced Market.

In connection with our credit guarantee activities, we issue PCs that represent pools of
mortgages with similar characteristics. Because these PCs are homogeneous and are issued in high volume, they are highly

5

Freddie Mac

liquid and trade with similar securities on a ""generic'' basis, also referred to as trading in the To Be Announced, or TBA,
market. A TBA trade in Freddie Mac securities represents a contract for the purchase or sale of PCs to be delivered at a
future  date;  however,  the  speciÑc  PCs  that  will  be  delivered  to  fulÑll  the  trade  obligation,  and  thus  the  speciÑc
characteristics of the mortgages underlying those PCs, are not known (i.e., ""announced'') at the time of the trade, but only
shortly before the trade is settled. The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association publishes guidelines pertaining
to the types of mortgages that are eligible for TBA trades.

The use of the TBA market increases the liquidity of mortgage investments and improves the distribution of investment
capital available for residential mortgage Ñnancing, thereby helping us to accomplish our statutory mission. During 2006, we
issued approximately $264.7 billion of PCs backed by single-family mortgage loans that were eligible to be delivered to
settle TBA trades, representing approximately 74 percent of our total guaranteed PCs and Structured Securities issuances.

Department of Housing and Urban Development

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, has general regulatory power over Freddie Mac,
including power over new programs, aÅordable housing goals and fair lending. HUD periodically conducts reviews of our
activities to ensure conformity with our charter and other regulatory obligations. For example, HUD is currently reviewing
certain of our investments and other assets and liabilities.

Housing Goals

We are subject to aÅordable housing goals set by HUD. The goals, which are set as a percentage of the total number of
dwelling units underlying our total mortgage purchases, have risen steadily since they became permanent in 1995. The goals
are intended to expand housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income families, low-income families living in low-
income areas, very low-income families and families living in HUD-deÑned underserved areas. The goal relating to low-
income families living in low-income areas and very low-income families is referred to as the ""special aÅordable'' housing
goal. This special aÅordable housing goal also includes a multifamily subgoal that sets an annual minimum dollar volume
of qualifying multifamily mortgage purchases. In addition, HUD has established three subgoals that are expressed as
percentages of the total number of mortgages we purchased that Ñnance the purchase of single-family, owner-occupied
properties located in metropolitan areas.

The HUD goals and subgoals are summarized in Table 2 below. Our performance with respect to the goals and

subgoals, as reported to HUD, is set forth in Table 3.

(1) An individual mortgage may qualify for more than one of the goals or subgoals. Each of the goal and subgoal percentages and each of our percentage
results is determined independently and cannot be aggregated to determine a percentage of total purchases that qualiÑes for these goals or subgoals.

Meeting our aÅordable housing goals and subgoals is increasingly challenging and there can be no assurance that we will

do so. See ""RISK FACTORS Ì Legal and Regulatory Risks.'' However, we view the purchase of mortgage loans that
count toward our aÅordable housing goals to be a principal part of our mission and business and we are committed to
facilitating the Ñnancing of aÅordable housing for low- and moderate-income families.

We reported to HUD that we met our three aÅordable housing goals and the multifamily special aÅordable volume

target subgoal for 2006. With respect to the home purchase subgoals, we reported that we met the low- and moderate-
income subgoal and the underserved areas subgoal. However, our result for the special-aÅordable subgoal was 16.9 percent
as compared with the subgoal of 17.0 percent. HUD has determined that we met the goals and subgoals for 2005 and 2004,
and will evaluate our performance with respect to 2006.

We are engaged in ongoing discussions with HUD regarding interpretive issues relating to the purchase and counting of
mortgages for purposes of housing goals and subgoals performance for 2006. If the Secretary of HUD Ñnds that we failed to
meet a housing goal established under section 1332, 1333, or 1334 of the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and
Soundness Act of 1992, or the GSE Act, and that achievement of the housing goal was feasible, the GSE Act states that the
Secretary shall require the submission of a housing plan with respect to the housing goal for approval by the Secretary. The
housing plan must describe the actions we would take to achieve the unmet goal in the future. HUD has the authority to
take enforcement actions against us, including issuing a cease and desist order or assessing civil money penalties, if we:
(a) fail to submit a required housing plan or fail to make a good faith eÅort to comply with a plan approved by HUD; or
(b) fail to submit certain data relating to our mortgage purchases, information or reports as required by law. See ""RISK
FACTORS Ì Legal and Regulatory Risks.'' While the GSE Act is silent, HUD has indicated that it has authority under
the GSE Act to establish and enforce a separate speciÑc subgoal within the special aÅordable housing goal.

Fair Lending

Our mortgage purchase activities are subject to federal anti-discrimination laws. In addition, the GSE Act prohibits
discriminatory practices in our mortgage purchase activities, requires us to submit data to HUD to assist in its fair lending
investigations of primary market lenders and requires us to undertake remedial actions against lenders found to have
engaged in discriminatory lending practices. In addition, HUD periodically reviews and comments on our underwriting and
appraisal guidelines for consistency with the Fair Housing Act and the GSE Act.

Predatory Lending

A core component of our mission is to facilitate the Ñnancing of aÅordable housing for low- and moderate-income

families. Predatory lending practices include the origination of loans with excessive interest rates or Ñnancing costs. Such
practices are in direct opposition to our mission, our goals and our practices. Since 2000, we have taken a number of
voluntary steps to combat predatory lending and support responsible lending. We have instituted anti-predatory lending
policies intended to prevent the purchase or assignment of mortgage loans with unacceptable terms or conditions or resulting
from unacceptable practices. In addition to the purchase policies we have instituted, we promote consumer education and
Ñnancial literacy eÅorts to help borrowers avoid abusive lending practices and we provide competitive mortgage products to
reputable mortgage originators so that borrowers have a greater choice of Ñnancing options.

New Program Approval

We are required under our charter and the GSE Act to obtain the approval of the Secretary of HUD for any new
program for the purchasing, servicing, selling, lending on the security of, or otherwise dealing in, conventional mortgages that
is signiÑcantly diÅerent from programs that have been approved by HUD or that were approved or engaged in before the
date the GSE Act was enacted in 1992; or that represents an expansion of programs above limits expressly contained in any
prior approval regarding the dollar volume or number of mortgages or securities involved. HUD must approve any new
program unless the Secretary determines that the new program is not authorized under our charter or that the program is not
in the public interest.

OÇce of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight

OFHEO is the safety and soundness regulator for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. The GSE Act established OFHEO as
a separate oÇce within HUD, substantially independent of the HUD Secretary. OFHEO is headed by a Director who is
appointed by the President and conÑrmed by the Senate. The OFHEO Director is responsible for ensuring that Freddie
Mac and Fannie Mae are adequately capitalized and operating safely in accordance with the GSE Act. OFHEO's authority
with regard to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae includes authority to:

‚ issue regulations to carry out its responsibilities;
‚ conduct examinations;
‚ require reports of Ñnancial condition and operation;
‚ develop and apply critical, minimum and risk-based capital standards, including classifying the capital levels not less

than quarterly;

‚ prohibit excessive executive compensation under prescribed standards; and
‚ impose temporary and Ñnal cease-and-desist orders and civil money penalties, provided certain conditions are met.

From time to time, OFHEO also has adopted examination guidance on a number of diÅerent topics, including

accounting practices, corporate governance and compensation practices.

OFHEO also has exclusive administrative enforcement authority that is generally similar to that of other federal

Ñnancial institutions regulatory agencies. That authority can be exercised in the event we fail to meet regulatory capital
requirements; violate our charter, the GSE Act, OFHEO regulations, a written agreement with or order issued by OFHEO;
or engage in conduct that signiÑcantly threatens our Core capital. Core capital consists of the par value of outstanding
common stock (common stock issued less common stock held in treasury), the par value of outstanding non-cumulative,
perpetual preferred stock, additional paid-in capital and retained earnings, as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Consent Order

On December 9, 2003, we entered into a consent order and settlement with OFHEO that concluded its special

investigation of the company related to our restatement. Under the terms of the consent order, we agreed to undertake
certain remedial actions related to governance, corporate culture, internal controls, accounting practices, disclosure and
oversight. We have taken actions to comply with the terms of the consent order and OFHEO continues to monitor our
progress.

Nontraditional Mortgage Product Risks

In December 2006, OFHEO notiÑed us that it expects us to take action consistent with the Interagency Guidance on
Nontraditional Mortgage Product Risks adopted in October 2006 by the federal Ñnancial institutions regulatory agencies.
The Interagency Guidance clariÑes how Ñnancial institutions should oÅer nontraditional mortgage products in a safe and
sound manner and in a way that clearly discloses the risks that borrowers may assume. We have submitted a report to
OFHEO describing the actions we propose to take consistent with the Interagency Guidance. Our proposed actions include
measures to consistently apply the principles of the Interagency Guidance to all of our mortgage purchases. It is possible
that implementation of the Interagency Guidance and the actions we propose to take will reduce the number of mortgages
available to us for purchase and increase the diÇculty we face in meeting our aÅordable housing goals and subgoals. See
""RISK FACTORS Ì Legal and Regulatory Risks.''

Capital Standards

OFHEO's oversight of our safety and soundness includes the implementation, monitoring and enforcement of capital
standards. OFHEO's regulatory capital requirements include ratio-based minimum and critical capital requirements and a
risk-based capital requirement designed to ensure that we maintain suÇcient capital to survive a sustained severe downturn
in the economic environment. The GSE Act requires OFHEO to classify our capital adequacy at least quarterly. OFHEO
has always classiÑed us as ""adequately capitalized,'' the highest possible classiÑcation.

8

Freddie Mac

If we were classiÑed as less than adequately capitalized, our ability to pay dividends on common or preferred stock could
be restricted. Also, if a dividend payment on our common or preferred stock would cause us to fail to meet our minimum
capital or risk-based capital requirements, we would not be able to make the payment without prior written approval from
OFHEO.  For  additional  information  about  our  regulatory  capital  requirements,  see  ""NOTE  10:  REGULATORY
CAPITAL'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements.

In a letter dated January 28, 2004, OFHEO created a framework for monitoring our capital due to our higher
operational risk, including our inability to produce timely Ñnancial statements in conformity with GAAP. The letter directed
that we maintain a mandatory target capital surplus of 30 percent over our minimum capital requirement, subject to certain
conditions and variations; that we submit weekly reports concerning our capital levels; and that we obtain prior approval of
certain capital transactions including common stock repurchases, redemption of any preferred stock or payment of dividends
on preferred stock above stated contractual rates. For additional information about the OFHEO mandatory target capital
surplus framework, see ""NOTE 10: REGULATORY CAPITAL'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements. Also, see
""RISK FACTORS Ì Legal and Regulatory Risks Ì Developments aÅecting our legislative and regulatory environment
could materially harm our business prospects or competitive position'' for more information.

Department of the Treasury

Under our charter, the Secretary of the Treasury has approval authority over our issuances of notes, debentures and
substantially identical types of unsecured debt obligations (including the interest rates and maturities of these securities), as
well as new types of mortgage-related securities issued subsequent to the enactment of the Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989. The Secretary of the Treasury has performed this debt securities approval function
by coordinating GSE debt oÅerings with Treasury funding activities. The Treasury Department is reviewing its process for
approving our debt oÅerings.

Securities and Exchange Commission

While we are exempt from Securities Act and Exchange Act registration and reporting requirements, we are dedicated

to fulÑlling our commitment to register our common stock under the Exchange Act. We plan to begin the process of
registering our common stock with the SEC after resuming timely quarterly Ñnancial reporting. Once this process is
complete, we will be subject to the Ñnancial reporting requirements applicable to registrants under the Exchange Act,
including the requirement to Ñle with the SEC annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current
reports on Form 8-K. In addition, OFHEO issued a supplemental disclosure regulation that will obligate us to submit proxy
statements and insider transaction reports to the SEC in accordance with rules promulgated under the Exchange Act. After
our common stock is registered under the Exchange Act, our securities will continue to be exempt from the securities
oÅering registration requirements of the Securities Act and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws.

GSE Regulatory Oversight Legislation

We face a highly uncertain regulatory environment in light of GSE regulatory oversight legislation currently under
consideration in Congress. During 2005, the House of Representatives and the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and
Urban AÅairs each passed a bill that would have resulted in signiÑcant changes in the existing GSE regulatory oversight
structure. Congressional consideration of those bills ended with the expiration of the 109th Congress in December 2006.
A new session of Congress began in January 2007. Legislation has been introduced in the House of Representatives,
containing provisions that would substantially alter the current regulatory framework under our charter and the GSE Act.
The bill that was introduced includes provisions that would:

‚ give our regulator substantial authority to regulate the amount and composition of our portfolio investments and to

require substantial reductions in those investments;

‚ increase the regulator's authority to require us to maintain higher minimum and risk-based capital levels and to

approve new products;

‚ modify our aÅordable housing goals; and
‚ for 2007 through 2011, require us to make an annual contribution to an aÅordable housing fund in an amount equal to

1.2 basis points of our average total mortgage portfolio.

While new GSE oversight legislation has yet to be introduced in the Senate, we believe the Senate is likely to consider
legislation that poses similar issues, but may also include provisions that diÅer materially from any bill considered in the
House. Provisions of the bill introduced in the House or any other bill considered by the House or Senate, individually and
in certain combinations, could have a material adverse eÅect on our ability to fulÑll our mission, future earnings, stock price
and stockholder returns, the rate of growth in our fair value and our ability to recruit qualiÑed oÇcers and directors.

We believe appropriate GSE regulatory oversight legislation would strengthen market conÑdence and promote our

mission. We cannot predict the prospects for the enactment, timing or content of any Ñnal legislation.

RISK FACTORS

Before you invest in our securities, you should know that making such an investment involves risks, including the risks

described below and in ""BUSINESS,'' ""FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS,'' ""MD&A'' and elsewhere in this
Information Statement. The risks that we have highlighted here are not the only ones that we face. These risks could lead to
circumstances where our business, Ñnancial condition and/or results of operations could be adversely aÅected. In that case,
the trading price of our securities could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. Some of these risks are
managed under our risk management framework, as described in ""MD&A Ì RISK MANAGEMENT.'' We may also
encounter risks of which we are currently not aware or that we currently deem immaterial. These risks also may impair our
business operations, Ñnancial results or your investment in our securities.

Business and Operational Risks

Material weaknesses and other deÑciencies related to internal control over Ñnancial reporting could result in errors,

aÅect operating results and cause investors to lose conÑdence in our reported results.

EÅective internal control over Ñnancial reporting and eÅective disclosure controls and procedures are essential to
management's ability to produce reliable and timely Ñnancial statements and other disclosures and to prevent fraud. While
we have not completed our evaluation of our internal control over Ñnancial reporting, we have identiÑed, and may in the
future identify, material weaknesses and signiÑcant deÑciencies in our internal controls that impair our ability to produce
reliable and timely Ñnancial reports. Because of the material weaknesses, management concluded that our internal control
over Ñnancial reporting was not eÅective as of December 31, 2006. A ""material weakness'' is a signiÑcant deÑciency or
combination of signiÑcant deÑciencies that results in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the
annual or interim Ñnancial statements will not be prevented or detected. A ""signiÑcant deÑciency'' is a control deÑciency or
combination of control deÑciencies that adversely aÅects a company's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report
external Ñnancial data reliably in accordance with GAAP such that there is a more than remote likelihood that a
misstatement of our annual or interim Ñnancial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or
detected. For a description of our existing material weaknesses and certain of our signiÑcant deÑciencies and our eÅorts to
mitigate and remediate them, see ""MD&A Ì RISK MANAGEMENT Ì Operational Risks Ì Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting.''

We face continuing challenges because of the deÑciencies in our accounting infrastructure and the operational
complexities of our business. We have not made suÇcient progress remediating our material weaknesses and signiÑcant
deÑciencies to return to regular, timely reporting and we have been unable to provide investors with timely quarterly Ñnancial
reports.

In order to devote the resources needed to complete the remediation of our internal control environment, we decided to
limit the number of systems and business related initiatives we undertook in 2006 and will undertake in 2007. Because of
delays in some of our systems initiatives, lower priority systems initiatives continue to be deferred until we progress further
with the remediation of our internal control deÑciencies. As a result, our Öexibility to deploy new products for business and
credit-risk management purposes in response to competitive market forces and changing trends has been limited. Additional
delays or limits on our ability to implement new initiatives may arise in connection with our remediation activities and
could further constrain our ability to introduce new products or execute new business strategies. Such constraints may
adversely impact our business and results of operations.

Although we have implemented a comprehensive plan to remediate our internal control deÑciencies and return to

quarterly Ñnancial reporting, there are a number of factors that may impede our eÅorts to remediate our internal control
weaknesses and deÑciencies, including: the complexity associated with the interdependent nature of the remediation
activities; uncertainty regarding the quality and sustainability of newly established controls; and potentially ineÅective
compensating controls. We cannot be certain that our eÅorts to improve our internal control over Ñnancial reporting will be
successful.

Controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the
desired control objectives. A failure to establish and maintain eÅective internal control over Ñnancial reporting could result
in a material error in our reported Ñnancial results and additional delays in our Ñnancial reporting timeline. Depending on
the nature of a failure and any required remediation, ineÅective controls could have a material adverse eÅect on our business.
Failure to eÅectively and timely implement the remediation plan we have undertaken to correct the identiÑed deÑciencies in
our internal control over Ñnancial reporting could similarly adversely aÅect our business. Further, OFHEO could require us
to take additional remedial actions.

10

Freddie Mac

Delays in meeting our Ñnancial reporting obligations could aÅect our ability to maintain the listing of our securities on
the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE. IneÅective controls could also cause investors to lose conÑdence in our reported
Ñnancial information, which may have an adverse eÅect on the trading price of our securities.

We rely on internal models for Ñnancial accounting and reporting purposes, to make business decisions, and to manage

risks, and our business could be adversely aÅected if those models fail to produce reliable results.

We make signiÑcant use of business and Ñnancial models for Ñnancial accounting and reporting purposes and to manage

risk. For example, we use models in determining the fair value of Ñnancial instruments for which independent price
quotations are not available or reliable or to extrapolate third-party values to our portfolio. We also use models to measure
and monitor our exposures to interest-rate and other market risks and credit risk. The information provided by these models
is also used in making business decisions relating to strategies, initiatives, transactions and products.

Models are inherently imperfect predictors of actual results because they are based on assumptions about future
performance.  Our  models  could  produce  unreliable  results  for  a  number  of  reasons,  including  invalid  or  incorrect
assumptions underlying the models or incorrect data being used by the models. The valuations, risk metrics, amortization
results and loan loss reserve estimations produced by our internal models may be diÅerent from actual results, which could
adversely aÅect our business results, cash Öows, fair value of net assets, business prospects and future earnings. Changes in
any of our models or in any of the assumptions, judgments or estimates used in the models may cause the results generated
by the model to be materially diÅerent. The diÅerent results could cause a revision of previously reported Ñnancial condition
or results of operations, depending on when the change to the model, judgment or assumption is implemented. Any such
changes may also cause diÇculties in comparisons of the Ñnancial condition or results of operations of prior or future periods.
If our models are not reliable we could also make poor business decisions, including loan purchase decisions, guarantee fee
pricing decisions, asset and liability management decisions, or other decisions, which could result in an adverse Ñnancial
impact. Furthermore, any strategies we employ to attempt to manage the risks associated with our use of models may not be
eÅective. See ""MD&A Ì CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES Ì Valuation of Financial
Instruments'' and ""MD&A Ì RISK MANAGEMENT Ì Interest-Rate Risk and Other Market Risks'' for more informa-
tion on our use of models.

Changes in our accounting policies, as well as estimates we make, could materially aÅect how we report our Ñnancial

condition or results of operations.

Our accounting policies are fundamental to understanding our Ñnancial condition and results of operations. We have

identiÑed certain accounting policies and estimates as being ""critical'' to the presentation of our Ñnancial condition and
results of operations because they require management to make particularly subjective or complex judgments about matters
that are inherently uncertain and for which materially diÅerent amounts could be recorded using diÅerent assumptions or
estimates. For a description of our critical accounting policies, see ""MD&A Ì CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
AND ESTIMATES.'' As new information becomes available and we update the assumptions underlying our estimates, we
could be required to revise previously reported Ñnancial results if our results for accounting periods remain subject to change
as a result of delays in the release of Ñnancial statements.

From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, and the SEC can change the Ñnancial
accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of our Ñnancial statements. These changes are beyond our
control, can be diÇcult to predict and could materially impact how we report our Ñnancial condition and results of
operations. We could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, which may result in the restatement of
prior period Ñnancial statements by material amounts.

A failure in our operational systems or infrastructure, or those of third parties, could impair our liquidity, disrupt our

business, damage our reputation and cause losses.

Shortcomings or failures in our internal processes, people or systems could lead to impairment of our liquidity, Ñnancial

loss, disruption of our business, liability to customers, legislative or regulatory intervention or reputational damage. For
example, our business is highly dependent on our ability to process a large number of transactions on a daily basis. The
transactions we process have become increasingly complex and are subject to various legal and regulatory standards. Our
Ñnancial, accounting, data processing or other operating systems and facilities may fail to operate properly or become
disabled, adversely aÅecting our ability to process these transactions. The inability of our systems to accommodate an
increasing volume of transactions or new types of transactions or products could constrain our ability to pursue new business
initiatives.

We also face the risk of operational failure or termination of any of the clearing agents, exchanges, clearing houses or
other Ñnancial intermediaries we use to facilitate our securities and derivatives transactions. Any such failure or termination
could adversely aÅect our ability to eÅect transactions, service our customers and manage our exposure to risk.

11

Freddie Mac

Most of our key business activities are conducted in our principal oÇces located in McLean, Virginia. Despite the
contingency plans and facilities we have in place, our ability to conduct business may be adversely impacted by a disruption
in the infrastructure that supports our business and the communities in which we are located. Potential disruptions may
include those involving electrical, communications, transportation or other services we use or that are provided to us. If a
disruption occurs and our employees are unable to occupy our oÇces or communicate with or travel to other locations, our
ability to service and interact with our customers or counterparties may suÅer and we may not be able to successfully
implement contingency plans that depend on communication or travel.

Our operations rely on the secure processing, storage and transmission of conÑdential and other information in our
computer systems and networks. Although we take protective measures and endeavor to modify them as circumstances
warrant, our computer systems, software and networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses or other
malicious code and other events that could have a security impact. If one or more of such events occur, this potentially could
jeopardize conÑdential and other information, including nonpublic personal information and sensitive business data,
processed and stored in, and transmitted through, our computer systems and networks, or otherwise cause interruptions or
malfunctions in our operations or the operations of our customers or counterparties, which could result in signiÑcant losses
or reputational damage. We may be required to expend signiÑcant additional resources to modify our protective measures
or to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures, and we may be subject to litigation and Ñnancial losses that
are not fully insured. For a discussion of our material weaknesses related to our information technology and systems and our
plans to remediate such weaknesses, see ""MD&A Ì RISK MANAGEMENT Ì Operational Risks Ì Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting.''

We rely on third parties for certain functions that are critical to Ñnancial reporting, our Retained portfolio activity and

mortgage loan underwriting. Any failures by those vendors could disrupt our business operations.

We outsource certain key functions to external parties, including but not limited to (a) processing functions for trade

capture, market risk management analytics, and asset valuation, (b) custody and recordkeeping for our investments
portfolios,  and  (c)  processing  functions  for  mortgage  loan  underwriting.  We  may  enter  into  other  key  outsourcing
relationships in the future. If one or more of these key external parties were not able to perform their functions for a period of
time, at an acceptable service level, or for increased volumes, our business operations could be constrained, disrupted or
otherwise negatively impacted. Our use of vendors also exposes us to the risk of a loss of intellectual property or of
conÑdential information or other harm. Financial or operational diÇculties of an outside vendor could also hurt our
operations if those diÇculties interfere with the vendor's ability to provide services to us.

Our risk management eÅorts may not eÅectively mitigate the risks we seek to manage.
We could incur substantial losses and our business operations could be disrupted if we are unable to eÅectively identify,
manage, monitor and mitigate operational risks, interest-rate and other market risks and credit risks related to our business.
We have devoted signiÑcant resources to develop an enterprise risk management framework establishing governance over
certain risks we face. However, our risk management policies, procedures and techniques may not be suÇcient to mitigate
the risks we have identiÑed or to appropriately identify additional risks to which we are subject. See ""MD&A Ì RISK
MANAGEMENT'' for a discussion of our approach to managing the risks we face.

Our ability to hire, train and retain qualiÑed employees aÅects our business and operations.
Our continued success depends, in large part, on our ability to hire and retain highly qualiÑed people. Our business is
complex and many of our positions require speciÑc skills. Undesirable voluntary employee turnover strains existing resources
and contributes to increased operational risk. Although voluntary employee turnover improved in 2006, if we experience
turnover rates at or above the level experienced in 2005 or are unable to attract, train and retain talented people, our business
and operations could be impaired or disrupted. Competition for highly qualiÑed personnel is intense and there can be no
assurances that we will retain our key personnel or that we will be successful in attracting, training or retaining other highly
qualiÑed personnel in the future. Furthermore, there is a risk that we may not have suÇcient personnel or personnel with
suÇcient training in key roles. See ""MD&A Ì RISK MANAGEMENT Ì Operational Risks'' for a description of the
impact of our staÇng and turnover.

Legal and Regulatory Risks

Developments aÅecting our legislative and regulatory environment could materially harm our business prospects or

competitive position.

Various developments or factors may aÅect our applicable legislative or regulatory environment, including any changes
or developments aÅecting our charter, aÅordable housing goals, or regulatory capital requirements (including the 30 percent
mandatory target capital surplus OFHEO imposed on us in January 2004); the interpretation of these requirements by our
regulators; the adequacy of internal systems, controls and processes related to these requirements; the exercise or assertion of

12

Freddie Mac

regulatory or administrative authority beyond current practice; the imposition of additional remedial measures; voluntary
agreements with our regulators; or the enactment of proposed legislation. In August 2006, we announced that we would
voluntarily limit the growth of our Retained portfolio, as described in ""BUSINESS Ì Business Activities Ì Investment and
Funding Activities.'' HUD is reviewing certain of our investments and other assets and liabilities to ensure conformity with
our public purpose, charter authorities and investment guidelines. In addition, the Treasury Department is reviewing its
process for approving our debt oÅerings. We cannot predict the outcomes of these reviews or whether our business activities
will be restricted as a result of these or other reviews.

We are also exposed to the risk that weaknesses in our internal systems, controls and processes could aÅect the accuracy
or timing of the data we provide to HUD or OFHEO or our compliance with legal requirements, and could ultimately lead
to regulatory actions (by HUD, OFHEO or both) or other adverse impacts on our business (including our ability or intent
to retain investments). Any assertions of non-compliance with existing or new statutory or regulatory requirements could
result in Ñnes, penalties, litigation and damage to our reputation.

Furthermore, we could be required, or may Ñnd it advisable, to change the nature or extent of our business activities if
our various exemptions and special attributes were modiÑed or eliminated, new or additional fees or substantive regulation of
our business activities were imposed, our relationship to the federal government were altered or eliminated, or our charter,
the GSE Act, or other federal legislation aÅecting us were signiÑcantly amended. Any of these changes could have a
material adverse eÅect on the scope of our activities, Ñnancial condition and results of operations. For example, such changes
could (a) reduce the supply of mortgages available to us, (b) limit a signiÑcant revenue source by imposing restrictions on
the size of our Retained portfolio, (c) make us less competitive by otherwise limiting our business activities or our ability to
create new products, (d) increase our capital requirements, or (e) require us to make an annual contribution to an aÅordable
housing fund equal to a speciÑed percentage of our average total mortgage portfolio. We cannot predict when or whether
any potential legislation will be enacted or regulation will be promulgated.

Any of the developments or factors described above could materially adversely aÅect: our ability to fulÑll our mission;

our ability to meet our aÅordable housing goals; our ability or intent to retain investments; the size and growth of our
mortgage portfolios; our future earnings, stock price and stockholder returns; the value of our assets; the rate of growth of the
fair value of our assets; or our ability to recruit qualiÑed oÇcers and directors.

We are making certain changes to our business to meet HUD's housing goals and subgoals, which may adversely aÅect

our proÑtability.

We are making signiÑcant adjustments to our mortgage sourcing and purchase strategies in an eÅort to meet our
housing goals and subgoals, including changes to our underwriting guidelines and the expanded use of targeted initiatives to
reach underserved populations. For example, we are purchasing loans and mortgage-related securities that oÅer lower
expected returns on our investment and increase our exposure to credit losses. In addition, in order to meet future housing
goals and subgoals, our purchases of goal-eligible loans need to increase as a percentage of total new mortgage purchases,
which is causing us to forego other purchase opportunities that we would expect to be more proÑtable. If our current eÅorts
to meet the goals and subgoals prove to be insuÇcient, we may need to take additional steps that could lead to a further
reduction of service to portions of the conventional conforming mortgage market, and also a reduction in our proÑtability. In
fact, for 2006, we reported to HUD that we did not meet one of the three home purchase subgoals. See ""REGULATION
AND SUPERVISION Ì Department of Housing and Urban Development'' for additional information about HUD's
regulation of our business.

We are involved in legal proceedings that could result in the payment of substantial damages or otherwise harm our

business.

We are a party to various legal actions. In addition, certain of our former directors, oÇcers and employees are involved
in legal proceedings for which they may be entitled to reimbursement by us for costs and expenses of the proceedings. The
defense of these or any future claims or proceedings could divert management's attention and resources from the needs of
the business. We may be required to make substantial payments in the event of adverse judgments or settlements of any such
claims, investigations or proceedings. Any legal proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could result in negative publicity or
cause us to incur signiÑcant legal and other expenses. Furthermore, developments in, outcomes of, impacts of, and costs,
expenses, settlements and judgments related to these legal proceedings may diÅer from our expectations and exceed any
amounts for which we have reserved or require adjustments to such reserves. See ""NOTE 13: LEGAL CONTINGEN-
CIES'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements for information about our pending legal proceedings and related reserves.
Legislation or regulation aÅecting the Ñnancial services industry generally may adversely aÅect our business activities.
Our business activities may be aÅected by a variety of legislative and regulatory actions related to the activities of banks,
savings institutions, insurance companies, securities dealers and other regulated entities that comprise a signiÑcant part of
our customer base. Legislative or regulatory provisions that create or remove incentives for these entities either to sell

13

Freddie Mac

mortgage loans to us or to purchase our securities could have a material adverse eÅect on our business results. Among the
legislative and regulatory provisions applicable to these entities are capital requirements for federally insured depository
institutions and regulated bank holding companies.

For example, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, composed of representatives of certain central banks and
bank supervisors, has developed a proposed set of risk-based capital standards for banking organizations. The U.S. banking
regulators  have  proposed  new  capital  standards  for  certain  banking  organizations  that  would  incorporate  the  Basel
Committee's proposed risk-based capital standards into existing requirements. If Ñnal rules adopted by the U.S. banking
regulators revise the capital treatment of mortgage assets, decisions by U.S. banking organizations about whether to hold or
sell such assets could be aÅected. However, the contents and timing of any Ñnal rules remain uncertain, as does the manner
in which U.S. banking organizations may respond to them.

The actions we expect to take in connection with the Interagency Guidance on Nontraditional Mortgage Product Risks
are described in ""REGULATION AND SUPERVISION Ì OÇce of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight Ì Nontradi-
tional Mortgage Product Risks.'' On March 2, 2007, the federal Ñnancial institutions regulatory agencies issued for public
comment  a  ""statement''  on  subprime  mortgage  lending.  If  adopted,  the  statement  would  instruct  lenders  to  apply
underwriting standards similar to those in the Interagency Guidance on non-traditional products to hybrid ARMs. In
addition, on February 27, 2007, we announced that we would implement stricter investment standards for certain subprime
ARMs originated after September 1, 2007 and develop new mortgage products providing lenders with more choices to oÅer
subprime  borrowers.  This  initiative  could  reduce  the  number  of  subprime  mortgages  available  to  us  for  purchase,
potentially reducing our proÑtability, and is likely to make it more diÇcult for us to achieve our housing goals and subgoals.

In addition, our business could also be adversely aÅected by any modiÑcation, reduction or repeal of the federal income

tax deductibility of mortgage interest payments.

Competitive and Market Risks

Changes in general business and economic conditions may adversely aÅect our business and earnings.

Our business and earnings may be adversely aÅected by changes in general business and economic conditions, including
changes in the markets for our portfolio investments or our mortgage-related and debt securities. These conditions include
employment rates, Öuctuations in both debt and equity capital markets, the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to foreign
currencies, and the strength of the U.S. economy and the local economies in which we conduct business. An economic
downturn or increase in the unemployment rate could result in fewer mortgages for us to purchase, an increase in mortgage
delinquencies or defaults and a higher level of credit-related losses than we estimated, which could reduce our earnings or
reduce the fair value of our net assets. Various factors could cause the economy to slow down or even decline, including
higher energy costs, higher interest rates, pressure on housing prices, reduced consumer or corporate spending, natural
disasters such as hurricanes, terrorist activities, military conÖicts and the normal cyclical nature of the economy.

A general decline in U.S. housing prices or changes in the U.S. housing market could negatively impact our business and

earnings.

The rate of home price appreciation in the U.S. declined in 2006 as the housing market slowed. This decline follows a

decade of strong appreciation and particularly dramatic price increases in the past few years. Home price appreciation
generally has increased the values of properties underlying the mortgages in our portfolio. A continued reversal of this strong
home price appreciation in any of the geographic markets we serve could result in an increase in delinquencies or defaults
and a higher level of credit-related losses, which could reduce our earnings. For more information, see ""MD&A Ì RISK
MANAGEMENT Ì Credit Risks.''

If the conforming loan limits are decreased as a result of a decline in the index upon which such limits are based, we
may face operational and legal challenges associated with changing our mortgage purchase commitments to conform with
the lower limits and there could be fewer loans available for us to purchase. In October 2006, the FHFB reported that the
national average price of a one-family residence had declined slightly, the Ñrst time this has occurred since its 1992-1993
survey. OFHEO announced that the conforming loan limits would be maintained at the 2006 limits for 2007 and deferred the
decrease for one year.

In addition, our business volumes are closely tied to the rate of growth in total outstanding U.S. residential mortgage
debt and the size of the U.S. residential mortgage market. The rate of growth in total residential mortgage debt declined to
9 percent in 2006 from 14 percent in 2005. If the rate of growth in total outstanding U.S. residential mortgage debt were to
continue to decline, there could be fewer mortgage loans available for us to purchase. A decline in the volume of loans
available for us to purchase could reduce our earnings and margins, as we could face more competition to purchase a smaller
number of loans.

Competition from banking and non-banking companies may harm our business.
We operate in a highly competitive environment and we expect competition to increase as Ñnancial services companies
continue to consolidate to produce larger companies that are able to oÅer similar mortgage-related products at competitive
prices. Increased competition in the secondary mortgage market and a decreased rate of growth in residential mortgage
debt outstanding may make it more diÇcult for us to purchase mortgages to meet our mission objectives while providing
favorable returns for our business. Furthermore, competitive pricing pressures may make our products less attractive in the
market and negatively impact our proÑtability.

We also compete for low-cost debt funding with Fannie Mae, the Federal Home Loan Banks and other institutions that

hold mortgage portfolios. Competition for debt funding from these entities can vary with changes in economic, Ñnancial
market and regulatory environments. Increased competition for low-cost debt funding may result in a higher cost to Ñnance
our business, which could decrease our net income.

We may face limited availability of Ñnancing, variation in our funding costs and uncertainty in our securitization

Ñnancing.

The amount, type and cost of our funding, including Ñnancing from other Ñnancial institutions and the capital markets,

directly impacts our interest expense and results of operations and can therefore aÅect our ability to grow our assets. A
number of factors could make such Ñnancing more diÇcult to obtain, more expensive or unavailable on any terms, both
domestically and internationally (where funding transactions may be on terms more or less favorable than in the U.S.),
including:

‚ adverse business or Ñnancial results or other adverse changes to our Ñnancial condition;
‚ speciÑc events that adversely impact our reputation;
‚ changes in the activities of our business partners;
‚ disruptions in the capital markets;
‚ speciÑc events that adversely impact the Ñnancial services industry;
‚ counterparty availability;
‚ changes in the preferences of the holders of our securities;
‚ changes in the breadth of our investor base;
‚ changes aÅecting the fair value of our assets;
‚ interest-rate Öuctuations, or rating agency actions;
‚ changes in our charter or regulatory oversight;
‚ changes to or developments in the legal, regulatory, accounting and tax environments governing our funding
transactions, including the outcome of the Treasury Department's review of its process for approving our debt
oÅerings;

‚ the general state of the U.S., Asian and other world economies, and factors aÅecting those economies; and
‚ public perception of any of the foregoing.
Foreign investors, particularly in Asia, hold a signiÑcant portion of our debt securities and are an important source of
funding for our business. Foreign investors' willingness to purchase and hold our debt securities can be inÖuenced by many
factors, including changes in the world economies, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, regulatory and political
factors, as well as the availability of and preferences for other investments. If foreign investors were to divest their holdings or
reduce their purchases of our debt securities, our funding costs may increase. The willingness of foreign investors to
purchase or hold our debt securities, and any changes to such willingness, may materially aÅect our liquidity, our business
and results of operations. Foreign investors are also signiÑcant purchasers of mortgage-related securities and changes in the
strength and stability of foreign demand for mortgage-related securities could aÅect the overall market for those securities
and the returns available to us on our portfolio investments.

Other GSEs also issue signiÑcant amounts of agency debt, which may negatively impact the prices we are able to obtain

for our debt securities. An inability to issue debt securities at attractive rates in amounts suÇcient to fund our business
activities and meet our obligations could have an adverse eÅect on our liquidity, Ñnancial condition and results of operations.
See ""MD&A Ì LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Ì Liquidity Ì Debt Securities'' for a more detailed
description of our debt issuance programs.

We maintain secured intraday lines of credit to provide additional intraday liquidity to fund our activities through the

Fedwire system. These lines of credit may require us to post collateral to third parties. In certain limited circumstances,
these secured counterparties may be able to repledge the collateral underlying our Ñnancing without our consent. In
addition, because these secured intraday lines of credit are uncommitted, we may not be able to continue to draw on them if
and when needed.

15

Freddie Mac

Our PCs and Structured Securities are also an integral part of our mortgage purchase program and any decline in the
price performance of or demand for our PCs could have an adverse eÅect on the proÑtability of our securitization Ñnancing
activities. There is a risk that our PC and Structured Securities support activities may not be suÇcient to support the
liquidity and depth of the market for PCs.

A reduction in our credit ratings could adversely aÅect our liquidity.

Nationally recognized statistical rating organizations play an important role in determining, by means of the ratings they
assign to issuers and their debt, the availability and cost of debt funding. We currently receive ratings from three nationally
recognized statistical rating organizations for our unsecured borrowings. Our credit ratings are important to our liquidity.
Actions by governmental entities or others could adversely aÅect our credit ratings. A reduction in our credit ratings could
adversely aÅect our liquidity, competitive position, or the supply or cost of equity capital or debt Ñnancing available to us. A
signiÑcant increase in our borrowing costs could cause us to sustain losses and impair our liquidity by requiring us to Ñnd
other sources of Ñnancing.

Fluctuations in interest rates could negatively impact our reported net interest income, earnings and fair value of net

assets.

Our portfolio investment activities and credit guarantee activities expose us to interest-rate and other market risks and
credit risks. Changes in interest rates Ì up or down Ì could adversely aÅect our net interest yield. Although the yield we
earn on our assets and our funding costs tend to move in the same direction in response to changes in interest rates, either
can rise or fall faster than the other, causing our net interest yield to expand or compress. For example, when interest rates
rise, our funding costs may rise faster than the yield we earn on our assets, causing our net interest yield to compress until
the eÅect of the increase is fully reÖected in asset yields. Changes in the slope of the yield curve could also reduce our net
interest yield.

Changes  in  interest  rates  could  reduce  our  GAAP  net  income materially,  especially  if  actual  conditions  vary
considerably from our expectations. For example, if interest rates rise or fall faster than estimated or the slope of the yield
curve varies other than expected, we may incur signiÑcant losses. Changes in interest rates may also aÅect prepayment
assumptions thus potentially impacting the fair value of our assets, including investments in our Retained portfolio, our
derivative portfolio and our Guarantee asset. When interest rates fall, borrowers are more likely to prepay their mortgage
loans by reÑnancing them at a lower rate. An increased likelihood of prepayment on the mortgages underlying our
mortgage-related securities may adversely impact the performance of these securities. An increased likelihood of prepayment
on the mortgage loans we hold may also negatively impact the performance of our Retained portfolio. Interest rates can
Öuctuate for a number of reasons, including changes in the Ñscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its
agencies, such as the Federal Reserve. Federal Reserve policies directly and indirectly inÖuence the yield on our interest-
earning assets and the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities. The availability of derivative Ñnancial instruments (such as
options and interest-rate and foreign-currency swaps) from acceptable counterparties of the types and in the quantities
needed could also aÅect our ability to eÅectively manage the risks related to our investment funding. Our strategies and
eÅorts to manage our exposures to these risks may not be as eÅective as they have been in the past. See ""MD&A Ì RISK
MANAGEMENT Ì Interest-Rate Risk and Other Market Risks'' for a description of the types of market risks to which
we are exposed and how we manage those risks.

Higher credit losses and increased expected future credit costs could adversely aÅect our Ñnancial condition and/or

results of operations.

There can be no assurances that our risk management strategies will be eÅective to manage our credit risks or that our

credit losses will not be higher than expected. Higher credit losses on our guarantees could require us to increase our
allowances for credit losses through charges to earnings. Other credit exposures could also result in Ñnancial losses.
Although we regularly review credit exposures to speciÑc customers and counterparties, default risk may arise from events or
circumstances that are diÇcult to detect or foresee. In addition, concerns about, or default by, one institution could lead to
signiÑcant  liquidity  problems,  losses  or  defaults  by  other  institutions.  This  risk  may  also  adversely  aÅect  Ñnancial
intermediaries, such as clearing agencies, clearinghouses, banks, securities Ñrms and exchanges with which we interact.
These potential risks could ultimately cause liquidity problems or losses for us as well.

Changes in the mortgage credit environment also aÅect our credit guarantee activities through the valuation of our
Guarantee obligation. If expected future credit costs increase and we are not able to increase our guarantee fees due to
competitive pressures or other factors, then the overall proÑtability of our new business would be lower and could result in
losses on guarantees at their inception. Moreover, an increase in expected future credit costs generally increases the fair
value of our existing Guarantee obligation.

The loss of business volume from one or more key lenders could result in a decline in our market share and revenues.

Our business depends on our ability to acquire a steady Öow of mortgage loans from the originators of those loans. We

purchase a signiÑcant percentage of our single-family mortgages from several large mortgage originators. The mortgage
industry has been consolidating and a decreasing number of large lenders originate most single-family mortgages. We could
lose signiÑcant business volume and may be unable to replace it if one or more of our key lenders signiÑcantly reduces the
volume of mortgages it delivers to us or is acquired or otherwise ceases to exist. The loss of business from any one of our
key lenders could adversely aÅect our market share, our revenues and the performance of our mortgage-related securities.

Negative publicity causing damage to our reputation could adversely aÅect our business prospects, earnings or capital.

Reputation risk, or the risk to our earnings and capital from negative public opinion, is inherent in our business.
Negative public opinion could adversely aÅect our ability to keep and attract customers or otherwise impair our customer
relationships, adversely aÅect our ability to obtain Ñnancing, impede our ability to hire and retain qualiÑed personnel, hinder
our business prospects or adversely impact the trading price of our securities. Perceptions regarding the practices of our
competitors or our industry as a whole may also adversely impact our reputation. Adverse reputation impacts on third parties
with whom we have important relationships may impair market conÑdence or investor conÑdence in our business operations
as well. In addition, negative publicity could expose us to adverse legal and regulatory consequences, including greater
regulatory scrutiny or adverse regulatory or legislative changes. These adverse consequences could result from our actual or
alleged action or failure to act in any number of activities, including corporate governance, regulatory compliance, Ñnancial
reporting and disclosure, purchases of products perceived to be predatory, safeguarding or using nonpublic personal
information, or from actions taken by government regulators and community organizations in response to our actual or
alleged conduct. Negative public opinion associated with our accounting restatement and material weaknesses in our internal
control over Ñnancial reporting and related problems could continue to have adverse consequences.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Our Business

To achieve our objective for long-term growth of the fair value of our net assets, we focus on three long-term business
drivers Ì the proÑtability of new investment and guarantee business, growth in our investment and total credit guarantee
portfolios and market share. Competition, other market factors, our housing mission under our charter and the HUD
aÅordable housing goals and subgoals require that we make trade-oÅs in our business that aÅect each of these drivers. Our
purchases of mortgage loans beneÑting low- and moderate-income families and neighborhoods are an integral part of our
mission and business, and we are committed to fulÑlling the needs of these borrowers and markets.

Retained portfolio activities

Through our Retained portfolio investment activities, we seek to produce long-term growth of the fair value of our net
assets primarily by opportunistically purchasing mortgage assets that oÅer attractive investment returns while meeting the
requirements of our charter and supporting the aÅordable housing goals and subgoals set for us by HUD. We estimate our
expected investment returns using an option-adjusted spread approach. We select our investments based on these expected
returns and our market expertise, regardless of the timing of the recognition of these returns in net income.

During 2006, the unpaid principal balance of our Retained portfolio declined by 1 percent as relatively tight mortgage-

to-debt option-adjusted spreads limited attractive investment opportunities and resulted in lower expected investment
returns on new business. Also, as discussed in ""BUSINESS Ì Business Activities Ì Investment and Funding Activities,''
we began managing our Retained portfolio under a voluntary temporary growth limit eÅective July 1, 2006. We will keep
this limit in place until we return to producing and publicly releasing quarterly Ñnancial statements prepared in conformity
with GAAP. While operating under this limit, we continue to be selective about the new investments we make in order to
achieve acceptable investment returns.

Over the last several years, there has been a particularly strong demand for mortgage assets by investors. This demand
was driven in part by the steep yield curve evident up until the second half of 2005. When short-term interest rates are low
relative to mortgage interest rates, initial returns on mortgage-related investments are relatively high. A signiÑcant portion
of our current Retained portfolio was acquired at attractive spreads when the slope of the yield curve was steep compared to
historical levels. As a result, the initial net interest yields on our Ñxed-rate mortgage-related investments were relatively
high. However, over the last three years, the net interest yield on those assets declined as our initial medium-term funding
matured and was replaced with higher-coupon funding as the yield curve Öattened. In addition, throughout 2006 and 2005,
new Ñxed-rate mortgage investments were acquired at lower initial net interest yields, which adversely aÅected the overall
net interest yield of the Retained portfolio.

While the natural decline of net interest yields of our Ñxed-rate mortgage investments is a driver of the decline in our net
interest yield over the last three years, other factors have also contributed to the decline. For example, the increase of our
issuances of callable debt put downward pressure on net interest yield in the near term; however, we expect this funding to
reduce future rebalancing requirements and related costs over time. In addition, during 2006 and the latter part of 2005,
while the yield curve was Öattening, we retired debt in order to take advantage of favorable funding spreads on our new debt
issuances. While improving the spreads on our Retained portfolio had a positive impact on the fair value of our net assets,
these debt retirements adversely impacted our net interest yields because retired lower-coupon debt was replaced at higher
interest rates. During 2006, our average funding levels remained signiÑcantly below the London Interbank OÅered Rate, or
LIBOR, with spreads relative to LIBOR for our Reference Notes» securities improving by 2 to 5 basis points along the
interest-rate curve. Also, in 2005 and 2004, we increased our purchases of variable-rate non-agency mortgage-related
securities, taking advantage of attractive spreads. While the net interest yields on variable-rate securities are less sensitive to
changes in the yield curve, they generally have lower initial net interest yields than Ñxed-rate investments.

Credit guarantee activities

We seek to generate fair value growth through our credit guarantee activities by issuing guarantees that oÅer attractive

long-term returns relative to anticipated credit costs. The securitization market is increasingly competitive and we have
reduced our guarantee fees on new business in an eÅort to maintain our market share. In addition, during 2006, the
residential mortgage market weakened and the rate of home price appreciation slowed.

During 2006 and 2005, increases in the expected future credit costs associated with our credit guarantee activities
increased the fair value of our Guarantee obligation, adversely impacting the fair value of our net assets. Also, as a result of
the increase in expected future credit costs and competitive pressure on our guarantee fees, some of our new credit
guarantee business was acquired below our normal expected return thresholds and we realized increased losses on certain

23

Freddie Mac

guarantees at their inception. These trends have also contributed to a decline in the overall expected returns on our credit
guarantee activities.

During 2006, 2005 and 2004, the growth rates of our credit guarantee portfolio were 10.6 percent, 10.5 percent and

4.0 percent, respectively. For 2006, we estimate that our share of the total residential mortgage securitization market
declined slightly due, in part, to lower purchase volumes of non-agency mortgage-related securities into our Retained
portfolio. Also, our share of the GSE securitization market declined to approximately 43 percent in 2006 from approximately
45 percent in 2005 due to competitive pressures.

The credit quality of our guarantee portfolio remains strong, with a weighted average current loan-to-value ratio of

approximately 57 percent as of the end of 2006 as compared with 56 percent at the end of 2005, and the portfolio remains
geographically well diversiÑed. In addition, our guarantee portfolio has beneÑted from several years of strong home price
appreciation. However, as discussed in ""BUSINESS,'' the mortgages added to our portfolio in recent years do not have the
beneÑt of signiÑcant home price appreciation and, in some markets, recent values of the properties underlying the mortgages
have declined. As recently acquired credit guarantee business matures and enters its peak default years, we anticipate that
default rates and loss severities will trend higher.

As the residential mortgage market continues to grow, competition among loan originators and other market factors,

such as relatively low interest rates and generally high home prices, have led to a higher proportion of variable-rate
mortgage products and the proliferation of new mortgage products that oÅer borrowers a variety of payment options. We
increased our purchases of these variable-rate and non-traditional mortgage products as they became more prevalent in the
market. However, at December 31, 2006, long-term, Ñxed-rate mortgages comprised more than 80 percent of our credit
guarantee portfolio. During 2006, interest-only mortgages comprised approximately 16 percent of our purchases and, at
December 31, 2006, comprised approximately 5 percent of the total credit guarantee portfolio. Mortgages with optional
payment terms, referred to as ""option ARMs,'' comprised approximately 2 percent of purchases and approximately 1 percent
of our total credit guarantee portfolio. We generally seek higher compensation for the additional credit risk inherent in these
products; however, our ability to do so has been limited due to competition for this business.

Summary of 2006 Financial Results
GAAP Results

Net income was $2.2 billion in 2006, up 4 percent compared to $2.1 billion in 2005. In 2006, diluted earnings per
common share increased by $0.09 reÖecting the increase in net income and the reduction in the diluted weighted average
number of common shares outstanding, arising from our repurchase of approximately 32.7 million common shares during
the year, partially oÅset by an increase in preferred dividends associated with our issuance of $1.5 billion in new preferred
stock. Pre-tax income declined by $0.5 billion to $2.1 billion in 2006 from $2.6 billion in 2005.

Net interest income declined to $4.2 billion in 2006 from $5.4 billion in 2005. While our Retained portfolio declined

slightly year-over-year, the average balance of our interest-earning assets increased, as did the related average yields.
Notwithstanding this improvement, net interest income declined as we replaced, at higher contractual interest rates,
approximately $129 billion in long-term debt, which either matured or was repurchased during 2006.

Derivative gains (losses), a component of non-interest income, includes another component of our investment returns;

interest received or paid on interest rate swaps. In 2006, we recognized $92 million of interest income, as compared to
$337 million of interest expense in 2005, an improvement of $429 million. This change primarily resulted from the impact of
rising short-term interest rates, and partially oÅset the reduction in net interest income discussed above.

Management and guarantee income increased to $1.7 billion in 2006 from $1.5 billion in 2005; however, our contractual

guarantee fee rate declined modestly as the average balance of outstanding PCs increased by approximately 15 percent
during 2006.

Total non-interest expenses were unchanged year over year at $3.0 billion. Administrative expenses increased slightly to

$1.6 billion in 2006 from $1.5 billion in 2005, primarily due to higher professional services costs related to improving
technology and our internal control over Ñnancial reporting. Our administrative expenses declined as a percent of the average
total mortgage portfolio to 9.3 basis points from 9.7 basis points in 2005.

In 2006 and 2005, our provision for credit losses was $215 million and $251 million, respectively. The provision for

credit losses in 2005 included $128 million related to properties aÅected by Hurricane Katrina, of which we reversed
$82 million in 2006 because the related payment and delinquency experience on aÅected properties was better than expected.
Absent the adjustments related to Hurricane Katrina in both years, from 2005 to 2006 our provision for credit losses
increased  by  $174  million  due  to  credit  deterioration  in  our  single-family  credit  guarantee  portfolio  as  more  loans
transitioned through delinquency to foreclosure and the expected severity of losses on a per-property basis increased, driven

24

Freddie Mac

in part by slower home price appreciation in certain areas. Consistent with this trend, our REO expenses increased to
$60 million in 2006 from $40 million in 2005.

Net charge-oÅs for 2006 increased to $147 million, representing approximately 1.0 basis point of our average credit

guarantee portfolio, compared with $109 million for 2005, representing approximately 0.8 basis points. The increase in net
charge-oÅs primarily relates to a regional economic downturn aÅecting properties in the North Central region of the U.S.

We reported an income tax beneÑt for 2006 of $108 million as compared with income tax expense of $367 million in
2005. In 2006, we reduced our tax reserves by $174 million as a result of a favorable U.S. Tax Court decision and a separate
Internal Revenue Service settlement. Our negative eÅective tax rate in 2006, and the decrease in our eÅective tax rate over
the past three years, also resulted from declines in pre-tax income, year-over-year increases in tax credits related to our
investments in low-income housing tax credit partnerships and interest earned on tax-exempt housing related securities.

Capital Management

Our primary objective in managing capital is preserving our safety and soundness. We also seek to have suÇcient capital
to support our business and mission. As appropriate, we will consider opportunities to return excess capital to stockholders
and to optimize our capital structure. At December 31, 2006, our estimated regulatory core capital was $36.2 billion, with
an estimated regulatory minimum capital surplus of $10.3 billion, and an estimated $2.6 billion in excess of the 30 percent
mandatory target capital surplus.

During 2006, we repurchased $2.0 billion of outstanding shares of common stock and issued $1.5 billion of non-
cumulative, perpetual preferred stock in connection with a plan to replace $2.0 billion of common stock with an equal
amount of preferred stock. During the Ñrst quarter of 2007, we issued $1.1 billion of non-cumulative, perpetual preferred
stock, including $500 million to complete the planned issuance described above and $600 million to replace higher-cost
preferred stock that we redeemed in 2007. Also, during the Ñrst quarter of 2007 we received approval from OFHEO and our
board of directors to repurchase up to an additional $1 billion in common stock in conjunction with the issuance of up to
$1 billion in preferred stock.

Our board of directors approved a dividend per common share of $0.50 for the fourth quarter of 2006, an increase of
6 percent over the $0.47 per share common dividend paid for the Ñrst three quarters of 2006. On March 2, 2007, our board
of directors declared a dividend per common share of $0.50 for the Ñrst quarter of 2007.

Fair Value Results

We believe fair value measures provide an important view of our business economics and risks because fair value takes a

consistent approach to the representation of substantially all Ñnancial assets and liabilities, rather than an approach that
combines historical cost and fair value  measurements, as is  the case with our  GAAP-based consolidated  Ñnancial
statements. We use estimates of fair value on a routine basis to make decisions about our business activities. Our
consolidated fair value measurements are an important component of our risk management processes, as we use daily
estimates of the changes in fair value to calculate our Portfolio Market Value Sensitivity, or PMVS, and duration gap
measures. For information about how we estimate the fair value of Ñnancial instruments, see ""NOTE 16: FAIR VALUE
DISCLOSURES'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements. In addition, we use fair value derived performance measures to
establish corporate objectives and as a factor in determining management compensation.

In 2006, the fair value of net assets attributable to common stockholders, before capital transactions, increased by
$2.5 billion, resulting in a return on the average fair value of net assets attributable to common stockholders of approximately
9.5 percent, compared to a $1.0 billion increase, or 3.7 percent return, in 2005. In addition, the payment of common
dividends and the repurchase of common shares reduced total fair value by $3.3 billion. The fair value of net assets
attributable  to  common  stockholders  as  of  December  31,  2006  was  $26.0  billion,  compared  to  $26.8  billion  as  of
December 31, 2005.

Our attribution of changes in the fair value of net assets relies on models, assumptions, and other measurement
techniques that will evolve over time. The following attribution of changes in fair value is our current estimate of the items
presented (on a pre-tax basis) and excludes the eÅect of returns on capital and administrative expenses.

Our investment activities contributed to the increase in fair value by an estimated $1.3 billion in 2006. This estimate
includes reductions in fair value of approximately $0.9 billion attributable to the net widening of mortgage-to-debt option-
adjusted spreads, or OAS. In 2006, asset-liability management returns and other market conditions did not meaningfully
add to fair value results on the Retained portfolio, which remained generally consistent with 2005 levels.

Our investment activities increased fair value by an estimated $0.5 billion in 2005. This estimate includes reductions in
fair value of approximately $2.7 billion attributable to the net widening of OAS. In 2005, asset-liability management returns
and other market conditions added signiÑcantly to core spread results.

Freddie Mac

Our credit guarantee activities increased fair value by an estimated $1.9 billion in 2006, including a $0.3 billion increase
attributable to reduced estimates of the impact of Hurricane Katrina. During 2005, our credit guarantee activities increased
fair value by an estimated $1.1 billion, which included a reduction in fair value of approximately $1.2 billion related to the
change in valuation methodology on our Guarantee asset and Guarantee obligation and a $0.4 billion decrease attributable to
2005 estimates of the impact of Hurricane Katrina.

During 2006, we recognized a more signiÑcant mark-to-market decline in our existing credit guarantee portfolio due to
the eÅect of credit deterioration and increased market risk premiums on our Guarantee obligation. In addition, we estimate
that the fair value of new business entered into during 2006 was lower than the fair value of new business entered into
during 2005.

We revised the method we previously used to report the impact that changes in OAS have on fair value results. This
methodology change had no impact on the actual change in the fair value of net assets, only our attribution of that change.
This change was made in order to more closely align the process we use to report the impact of changes in OAS with the
interest-rate risk management framework of our investment activities. See ""CONSOLIDATED FAIR VALUE BAL-
ANCE SHEETS ANALYSIS Ì Discussion of Fair Value Results Ì How we estimate the impact of changes in mortgage-
to-debt OAS on fair value results,'' for additional information about this change.

Business Outlook
Portfolio Growth and Credit

We expect that the amount of U.S. residential mortgage debt outstanding will continue to rise in 2007, at a rate more in
line with an expected long-term growth projection of 7.0 to 9.5 percent. While our Total mortgage portfolio should beneÑt
from continued growth in mortgage debt outstanding, we expect that our GSE and total securitization market shares will be
under pressure in 2007 as our primary competitors bid for mortgages and there is continued consolidation in the mortgage
lending business. We will manage the Retained portfolio in accordance with the voluntary temporary growth limit until we
resume producing and publicly releasing quarterly Ñnancial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP.

We expect near-term credit losses to rise while still remaining below longer-term historical levels, as home price

appreciation slows.

Fair Value Returns

We expect to achieve long-term returns, before capital transactions, on the average fair value of net assets attributable

to common stockholders in the low-to mid-teens, although period-to-period returns may Öuctuate substantially due to
market conditions. These long-term expectations are based on assumptions regarding rates of growth in our business, spreads
that we expect to earn and a return over a period of years to capital levels consistent with current statutory requirements,
among other factors. Our assumptions do not contemplate that the challenging market conditions and competitive pressures
we are currently experiencing will continue through the next several years. We have also made no assumptions regarding any
potential impact of pending legislation or regulatory actions, discussed more extensively in ""Legislative and Regulatory
Matters.'' Our actual results may diÅer materially from these expectations.

Capital Management

Management expects to initiate a common stock repurchase in conjunction with the issuance of preferred stock under

the new $1 billion authorization from time to time depending on market conditions.

Financial Reporting

An important milestone for our return to quarterly reporting will be the progress achieved in the remediation of internal
controls and implementation of new accounting systems. Throughout 2007, we will evaluate our remediation progress each
quarter to determine whether we have reduced the risk of a material misstatement. It is our objective to resume quarterly
Ñnancial reporting in the second half of 2007. See ""RISK MANAGEMENT Ì Operational Risks Ì Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting'' and ""RISK FACTORS Ì Business and Operational Risks.''

Risk Management

Our portfolio investment and credit guarantee activities expose us to three broad categories of risk: (a) operational risks,

(b) interest-rate and other market risks, and (c) credit risks. Risk management is a critical aspect of our business.
EÅectively managing risk enables us to accomplish our mission and generate revenue and long-term value.

Operational Risks Ì Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In 2006, we continued working on initiatives to improve our Ñnancial reporting infrastructure and remediate material

weaknesses and other deÑciencies in our internal controls. Although we have made substantial progress on our plan, we

26

Freddie Mac

continue to have a signiÑcant number of material weaknesses and other internal control deÑciencies that have not been fully
remediated and considerable challenges remain.

Interest-Rate Risk

Our interest-rate risk remains low. For 2006, PMVS-L and duration gap averaged 1 percent and zero months,

respectively.

Credit Risk

See ""RISK MANAGEMENT Ì Credit Risks'' for information about our credit risks and our strategies for managing

them.

Legislative and Regulatory Matters

We face a highly uncertain regulatory environment in light of GSE regulatory oversight legislation currently under
consideration in Congress. We generate a signiÑcant portion of our net income through our Retained portfolio. Currently, we
have in place a voluntary temporary growth limit on our Retained portfolio. GSE regulatory oversight legislation under
consideration in the House of Representatives would give our regulator substantial authority to regulate the amount and
composition of our portfolio investments and to require substantial reductions in those investments. This legislation also
includes provisions that would increase the regulator's authority to require us to maintain higher minimum and risk-based
capital levels and, for 2007 through 2011, require us to make an annual contribution to an aÅordable housing fund in an
amount equal to 1.2 basis points of our average total mortgage portfolio. See ""REGULATION AND SUPERVISION Ì
GSE Regulatory Oversight Legislation'' for more information regarding this bill. We cannot predict the prospects for the
enactment,  timing  or  content  of  any  Ñnal  legislation.  The  provisions  of  this  legislation,  individually  and  in  certain
combinations, could have a material adverse eÅect on our ability to fulÑll our mission, future earnings, stock price and
stockholder returns, the rate of growth in our fair value, and our ability to recruit qualiÑed oÇcers and directors.

Net Interest Income

Table 8 summarizes our Net interest income and net interest yield and provides an attribution of changes in annual

results to changes in interest rates or changes in volumes of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Average balance sheet information is presented because we believe end-of-period balances are not representative of activity
throughout the periods presented. For most components of the average balances, a daily weighted average balance was
calculated for the period. When daily weighted average balance information was not available, a simple monthly average
balance was calculated.

involves the conversion of tax-exempt sources of interest income to the equivalent amounts of interest income that would be necessary to derive the
same net return if the investments had been subject to income taxes using our statutory tax rate of 35 percent.

(8) Rate and volume changes are calculated on the individual Ñnancial statement line item level. Combined rate/volume changes were allocated to the

2006 versus 2005

Net interest income and net interest yield on a fully taxable-equivalent basis decreased in 2006 as spreads on Ñxed-rate
investments continued to narrow, driven by increases in long- and medium-term interest rates. The increase in our long-term
debt interest costs reÖects the turnover of medium-term debt that we issued during the past few years to fund our
investments in Ñxed-rate mortgage-related investments when the yield curve was steep (i.e. short- and medium-term interest
rates were low as compared to long-term interest rates). As the yield curve Öattened during 2005 and 2006, we experienced
increased funding costs associated with replacing maturing lower-cost debt used to fund existing Ñxed-rate mortgage
investments. During 2006, net interest margins declined as a result of changes in interest rates on variable-rate assets
acquired in 2004 and 2005 impacted our results. Also, we adjusted our funding mix in 2006 by increasing the proportion of
callable debt outstanding, which we use to manage prepayment risk associated with our mortgage-related investments, and
which generally has a higher interest cost than non-callable debt. In 2006, we considered the issuance of callable debt to be
more cost eÅective than alternative interest-rate risk management strategies, primarily the issuance of non-callable bullet
debt combined with the use of derivatives. We also reduced the balance of our short-term debt securities to approximately
23 percent of total outstanding debt as of December 31, 2006, from approximately 26 percent at the beginning of the year, to
take advantage of the attractive funding spreads relative to LIBOR on our long-term debt. The impact of rising short-term
rates on our short-term debt was largely oÅset by the impact of rising rates on our variable-rate assets in our Retained
portfolio and our Cash and investments portfolio.

Net interest income for 2006 also reÖected lower net interest income on derivatives in qualifying hedge accounting

relationships. Net interest income associated with the accrual of periodic settlements declined as the benchmark LIBOR and
the Euro Interbank OÅered Rate, or Euribor, interest rates increased during the year, adversely aÅecting net settlements on
our receive-Ñxed swaps and foreign-currency swaps (primarily Euro-denominated). Net interest income was also aÅected
by our decisions in March and December 2006 to discontinue hedge accounting treatment for a signiÑcant amount of our
receive-Ñxed swaps and foreign-currency swaps, as discussed in ""NOTE 12: DERIVATIVES'' to our consolidated Ñnancial
statements. The net interest expense related to these swaps is no longer a component of Net interest income, after hedge
accounting was discontinued, but instead is recognized as a component of Derivative gains (losses). By the end of 2006,
nearly all of our derivatives were not in hedge accounting relationships.

EÅective January 1, 2006, we enhanced our process for forecasting interest rates and estimating prepayments used to
amortize discounts, premiums and deferred fees for assets held in the Retained portfolio. This change in estimate resulted in
a $93 million pre-tax reduction in Net interest income on mortgage-related securities.

30

Freddie Mac

Enhancements to certain models used to estimate prepayment speeds on mortgage-related securities and our approach
for estimating uncollectible interest on single-family mortgages greater than 90 days delinquent resulted in a net decrease in
Retained portfolio interest income of $166 million (pre-tax) during the Ñrst quarter of 2005.

2005 versus 2004

Net interest income and net interest yield on a fully taxable-equivalent basis decreased in 2005 due to narrowing spreads

on Ñxed-rate assets as the yield curve Öattened and the composition of our Retained portfolio changed toward a greater
percentage of lower-yielding, variable-rate assets.

The decline in Net interest income for 2005 also reÖected higher interest expense on derivatives in qualifying hedge
accounting relationships. Net interest income associated with the accrual of periodic settlements related to our receive-Ñxed
swaps and foreign-currency swaps declined as the benchmark LIBOR interest rate increased. Net interest income was also
aÅected by our decision in 2004 to discontinue hedge accounting treatment for a signiÑcant amount of our pay-Ñxed swaps
and receive-Ñxed swaps, as discussed in ""NOTE 12: DERIVATIVES'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements. The net
interest expense related to these swaps was no longer a component of Net interest income after hedge accounting was
discontinued, but was recognized as a component of Non-interest income (loss) in Derivative gains (losses).

Another factor in the decline in Net interest income for 2005 was our decision to cease the PC market-making and
support activities conducted through our Securities Sales and Trading Group, or SS&TG, business unit and our external
Money Manager program during the fourth quarter of 2004. By the end of 2004, we divested the trading portfolios related
to our SS&TG business unit and our external Money Manager program in the Investments portfolio. This divestiture
reduced the interest expense for funding the Investments portfolio as well as the hedging costs associated with it, which were
reÖected in Gains (losses) on investment activity. Our investments in mortgage-related securities held by our SS&TG
business unit and external Money Manager program were generally hedged by entering into forward sales of mortgage-
related  securities.  For  2004,  the  valuation  diÅerence  between  the  trading  securities  and  the  related  forward  sale
commitments resulted in a loss of $1,101 million in Gains (losses) on investment activity that was oÅset by Net interest
income on the held position.

Management and Guarantee Income

Table 10 provides summary information about Management and guarantee income. Management and guarantee income
consists of contractual amounts due to us related to our management and guarantee fee as well as amortization of certain
pre-2003 deferred fees, including credit and buy-down fees. Other guarantee-related revenue is deferred and recognized
over time as a component of Income on Guarantee obligation.

(2) A change in estimate resulted in a net pre-tax increase (decrease) in the Amortization of credit and buy down fees of $18 million and $(17) million for
2006 and 2005, respectively. See ""NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES'' to our consolidated Ñnancial
statements for further information.

Management and guarantee income increased in both 2006 and 2005, primarily reÖecting increases in the average
outstanding PC balances of 15 percent in each year. The average contractual management and guarantee fee rate decreased
in both years from the prior years, reÖecting lower guarantee fee rates on new business and the liquidation of existing
business with relatively higher guarantee fee rates. The continued decline in guarantee fee rates on new business is the result
of competitive pricing pressures. Management and guarantee income includes the amortization of pre-2003 deferred credit
fees and buy-down fees on our outstanding PCs. However, similar fees received after January 1, 2003 are primarily deferred
and recognized over time as a component of Income on Guarantee obligation.

Gains (Losses) on Guarantee Asset

Upon issuance of a guarantee of securitized assets, we may record a Guarantee asset on our consolidated balance sheets

representing the fair value of the guarantee fees we expect to receive over the life of the related PCs and Structured

31

Freddie Mac

Securities. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the Guarantee asset are reported in current period income as Gains
(losses) on Guarantee asset.

The change in fair value of the Guarantee asset reÖects:
‚ reductions related to the contractual guarantee fees due that are considered a return of our recorded investment in the

Guarantee asset; and

‚ changes in the fair value of expected future guarantee fees we expect to receive over the life of the related PC or

Structured Security.

As shown on ""Table 11 Ì Attribution of Change Ì Gains (Losses) on Guarantee Asset,'' contractual guarantee fees
due represent Management and guarantee income realized in the current period related to PCs and Structured Securities
held by third parties with an established Guarantee asset. A portion of contractual guarantee fees due is attributed to
imputed interest income on the Guarantee asset.

The fair value of expected future cash Öows is driven by changes in the expected interest and related discount rates that

aÅect the estimated life of the mortgages underlying the outstanding PCs and Structured Securities and other economic
factors that inÖuence the amount and timing of the future cash Öows. Our valuation methodology for the Guarantee asset,
Ñrst implemented for 2005, uses market-based information to determine the fair value of future cash Öows associated with
the Guarantee asset. Changes in the fair value of the Guarantee asset, which are recorded in current period earnings through
Gains (losses) on Guarantee asset, reÖect the volatility associated with the market-based inputs used in our valuation.
Changes  in  the  estimated  lives  of  the  underlying  mortgages  also  aÅect  the  fair  value  of  the  Guarantee  asset.  See

(1) Represents a change in estimate resulting from enhancing our approach for determining the fair value of the Guarantee asset. See ""NOTE 1:

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements for further information.

The reduction in our Guarantee asset attributable to the Return of investment on Guarantee asset increased during

2006, 2005 and 2004. The Return of investment on Guarantee asset increased as the outstanding PCs and Structured
Securities have grown each year.

Losses on the Guarantee asset decreased in 2006 as compared with 2005, due to increases in the fair value of the
Guarantee asset consistent with the increase in mortgage interest rates during the year, which generally extends the life of
the Guarantee asset. Losses on the Guarantee asset decreased in 2005 as compared with 2004, reÖecting the increase in
mortgage interest rates during the year oÅset by the eÅect of the change in our valuation method.

Income on Guarantee Obligation

Upon issuance of a guarantee of securitized assets, we record a Guarantee obligation on our consolidated balance sheets
representing the fair value of our obligation to perform under the terms of the guarantee. The Guarantee obligation consists
of the following:

‚ performance and other related costs, which consist of: estimated default costs, including the unrecoverable principal
and interest that will be incurred over the expected life of the underlying mortgages; estimated foreclosure-related
costs; and estimated administrative and other costs related to our guarantee; and

‚ deferred guarantee income on newly-issued Guarantor Swap transactions, which represents the excess of compensa-
tion received on issued guarantees and the fair value of the related Guarantee asset, as compared to the fair value of
the corresponding Guarantee obligation. Compensation received includes cash, credit and buy-down fees received at
the time of securitization. Credit fees vary with the relative credit quality of the underlying mortgages and buydown
fees vary based on customer compensation payment preferences.

The Guarantee obligation is amortized into income in relation to the decline in the unpaid principal balance on the

mortgage loans underlying the PCs and Structured Securities.

the impact of lower PC and Structured Security liquidation rates caused by increases in mortgage interest rates. During
2006 and 2005, the growth in unamortized balances reÖects the increase in our portfolio of outstanding PCs and Structured
Securities and increased expected credit costs associated with newly-issued guarantees.

(1) The fair values of derivatives (netted by counterparty) are presented as Derivative assets, at fair value, and Derivative liabilities, at fair value, on our

consolidated balance sheets.

(2) Derivatives that meet speciÑc criteria may be accounted for as cash Öow hedges. Changes in the fair value of the eÅective portion of these open

derivatives contracts are recorded in AOCI, net of taxes. Net deferred gains and losses on closed cash Öow hedges (i.e., where the derivative is either
terminated or redesignated) are also included in AOCI, net of taxes, until the related forecasted transaction aÅects earnings or is determined to be
probable of not occurring.

(3) Hedge accounting gains (losses) arise when the fair value change of a derivative does not exactly oÅset the fair value change of the hedged item

attributable to the hedged risk. For further information, see ""Hedge Accounting Gains (Losses)'' below and ""NOTE 12: DERIVATIVES'' to our
consolidated Ñnancial statements.

(4) For all derivatives in qualifying hedge accounting relationships, the accrual of periodic cash settlements is recorded in Net interest income on our

consolidated statements of income and those amounts are not included in the table. For derivatives not in qualifying hedge accounting relationships, the
accrual of periodic cash settlements is recorded in Derivative gains (losses) on our consolidated statements of income.

(5) Derivative gains (losses) in each period include gains or losses reclassiÑed from AOCI, net of taxes, as a result of the termination of cash Öow hedge

Freddie Mac

Over the course of 2006, 2005 and 2004, we discontinued nearly all of our cash Öow hedge and fair value hedge
accounting relationships. At December 31, 2006, the only derivatives in hedge accounting relationships were certain
commitments to forward sell mortgage-related securities, which were designated in cash Öow hedge relationships. See
""NOTE 12: DERIVATIVES'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements for additional information on our discontinuation of
hedge accounting treatment. Derivatives that are not in qualifying hedge accounting relationships generally increase the
volatility of reported Non-interest income (loss) because the fair value gains and losses on the derivatives are recognized in
earnings without the oÅsetting recognition in earnings of the change in value of the economically hedged exposures.

For derivatives designated in cash Öow hedge accounting relationships during 2006 and in prior years, the eÅective
portion of the change in fair value of the derivative asset or derivative liability is presented in the stockholders' equity section
of our consolidated balance sheets in AOCI, net of taxes.

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the net cumulative change in the fair value of all derivatives designated in cash Öow

hedge relationships for which the forecasted transactions had not yet aÅected earnings (net of amounts previously
reclassiÑed to earnings through each year end) was a loss of approximately $5.0 billion and $6.3 billion, respectively, on an
after-tax basis. These amounts relate almost entirely to net deferred losses on closed cash Öow hedges. The majority of the
closed cash Öow hedges relate to hedging the variability of cash Öows from forecasted issuances of debt. Fluctuations in
prevailing market interest rates have no impact on the deferred portion of AOCI, net of taxes, relating to closed cash Öow
hedges. The deferred amounts related to closed cash Öow hedges will be recognized into earnings as the hedged forecasted
transactions aÅect earnings, unless it becomes probable that the forecasted transactions will not occur. If it is probable that
the forecasted transactions will not occur, then the deferred amount associated with the forecasted transactions will be
reclassiÑed into earnings immediately.

At December 31, 2006, over 70 percent and 90 percent of the $5.0 billion net deferred losses in AOCI, net of taxes,
relating to cash Öow hedges were linked to forecasted transactions occurring in the next 5 and 10 years, respectively. Over
the next 10 years, the forecasted debt issuance needs associated with these hedges range from approximately $21.5 billion
to $104.7 billion in any one quarter, with an average of $66.2 billion per quarter.

Table 14 presents the scheduled amortization of the net deferred losses in AOCI at December 31, 2006, related to

closed cash Öow hedges. The scheduled amortization is based on a number of assumptions. Actual amortization will diÅer
from the scheduled amortization, perhaps materially, as we make decisions on debt funding levels or as changes in market
conditions occur that diÅer from these assumptions. For example, for the scheduled amortization for cash Öow hedges
related to future debt issuances, we assume that we will not repurchase the related debt and that no other factors aÅecting
debt issuance probabilities will change.

(1) Consisted of basis swaps, certain option-based contracts, foreign-currency swaps, interest-rate caps, forward purchase and sale commitments, credit
derivatives and swap guarantee derivatives not accounted for in hedge accounting relationships. 2004 and 2005 also included a prepayment
management agreement which was terminated eÅective December 31, 2005.

(2) The accrual of periodic settlements of Receive-Ñxed swaps includes imputed interest on zero-coupon swaps.

Derivative gains (losses) reÖect the change in the fair value of and the accrual of periodic settlements of all derivatives
not in hedge accounting relationships. From 2004 through 2006, we experienced signiÑcant periodic income volatility due to
changes in the fair values of our derivatives and changes in the composition of our portfolio of derivatives not in hedge
accounting relationships.

A receive-Ñxed swap results in our receipt of a Ñxed interest-rate payment from our counterparty in exchange for a

variable-rate payment to our counterparty. Conversely, a pay-Ñxed swap requires us to make a Ñxed interest-rate payment to
our counterparty in exchange for a variable-rate payment from our counterparty. We use receive- and pay-Ñxed swaps to
adjust the interest rate characteristics of our debt funding in order to more closely match changes in the interest-rate
characteristics of our mortgage assets. Call and put swaptions are options to enter into receive- and pay-Ñxed swaps,
respectively. We use swaptions and other option-based derivatives to adjust the characteristics of our debt in response to
changes in the expected lives of mortgage-related assets in the Retained portfolio. Generally, receive-Ñxed swaps increase in
value and pay-Ñxed swaps decrease in value when interest rates decrease (with the opposite being true when interest rates
increase). The fair values of call and put swaptions are sensitive to changes in interest rates and are also driven by the
market's expectation of potential changes in future interest rates (referred to as ""implied volatility''). Purchased swaptions
generally become more valuable as implied volatility increases and less valuable as implied volatility decreases. Recognized
losses on purchased options in any given period are limited to the premium paid to purchase the option plus any unrealized
gains previously recorded. See ""CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS ANALYSIS Ì Derivative Assets and Liabili-
ties, at Fair Value'' for information about changes in the notional amounts and the fair value of our derivatives.

During 2006, fair value losses on our swaptions increased as implied volatility declined and both long-term and short-
term swap interest rates increased. During 2006 and 2005, fair value changes of our pay-Ñxed and receive-Ñxed swaps were
primarily driven by increases in long-term swap interest rates. An increase in the notional balance of our receive-Ñxed
swaps not in qualifying hedge accounting relationships as a result of our discontinuation of hedge accounting treatment,
combined with Öuctuations in swap interest rates throughout the year, reduced fair value losses recognized on our receive-
Ñxed swaps during 2006. See ""NOTE 12: DERIVATIVES'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements for additional
information on our discontinuation of hedge accounting treatment.

During 2004, losses on our put swaptions resulted from changes in swap interest rates and a decline in implied volatility
of interest rates. Additionally, in 2004, a large portion of our pay-Ñxed swaps that were not in hedge accounting relationships
was scheduled to begin on a future date. The net loss on our pay-Ñxed swaps in 2004 resulted from the overall decline in
forward swap interest rates.

The accrual of periodic settlements for derivatives not in qualifying hedge accounting relationships increased during

2006 compared to 2005 as short-term interest rates increased and the net income due to the receive variable-rate leg of our
pay-Ñxed swaps was only partly oÅset by the net expense due to the pay variable-rate leg of our receive-Ñxed swaps.
The expense associated with accrual of periodic settlements for derivatives not in qualifying hedge accounting
relationships declined during 2005 compared to 2004 because interest accruals related to our pay-Ñxed and receive-Ñxed
swaps largely oÅset one another during 2005, but only did so for the later part of 2004, following the discontinuation of hedge
accounting for certain receive-Ñxed swaps in November 2004.

Hedge Accounting Gains (Losses)

Hedge accounting gains (losses) represent the extent to which diÅerences in the characteristics or terms of a derivative
in a hedge accounting relationship and the hedged item result in fair value or cash Öow changes that are not exactly oÅset.
Our net hedge ineÅectiveness gains in 2006 and 2005 were not signiÑcant. Net hedge ineÅectiveness gains in 2004 related
primarily to fair value hedge accounting relationships where the derivative was valued using forward rates while the hedged
debt was valued using spot rates. As discussed in ""NOTE 12: DERIVATIVES'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements, a
substantial portion of our derivatives in fair value hedge accounting relationships was reclassiÑed to no hedge designation
during 2004 and 2006.

Gains (losses) on trading securities
In 2006 and 2005, the increases in long-term interest rates resulted in losses on mortgage-related securities classiÑed as
trading. However, these losses were signiÑcantly lower in 2006 than in 2005 as interest rates increased less in 2006 than in
2005. The losses in both years were partly oÅset by gains on interest-only mortgage-related securities classiÑed as trading,
which generally increased in fair value as interest rates rose.

Prior to 2005, our trading positions related primarily to our SS&TG business unit and external Money Manager
program, both of which ceased operations in the fourth quarter of 2004. The trading activities of our SS&TG business unit
resulted in valuation diÅerences, recorded as trading losses, that totaled $1,101 million in 2004, which were oÅset by net
interest income on the trading securities held. Absent the SS&TG business unit, our trading gains (losses) netted to a
$30 million gain in 2004.

Gains (losses) on PC residuals, at fair value
Gains (losses) on PC residuals relate to certain PCs and Structured Securities we hold in our Retained portfolio and
represent the net fair value of the future cash inÖows and cash outÖows related to our guarantee of these securities. The fair
value of PC residuals is aÅected by several factors including: (a) changes in interest rates, which aÅects the expected lives
of the related PCs and Structured Securities; (b) default experience and loss severity trends related to our guarantees and
(c) third party information with respect to fair value.

The decrease in net losses on PC residuals in 2006 as compared to 2005 resulted from increasing interest rates in 2006
which increased the expected lives of related PCs and Structured Securities. In 2005, net losses on PC residuals included
the eÅect of changes in the approach we used to estimate the fair values of our guarantee-related assets and liabilities,
which resulted in net pre-tax losses of $78 million in the Ñrst quarter of 2005. In 2004, expected default costs declined due to
continued home price appreciation and generated gains, partially oÅset by declines in mortgage interest rates which reduced
the estimated fair value of future contractual guarantee fees related to securities we hold.

Gains (losses) on sale of available-for-sale securities
In 2006, gains on sales of available-for-sale securities included net gains of $188 million related to the sale of certain
commercial mortgage-backed securities as discussed in ""Total security impairments.'' These gains were partly oÅset by net
losses due primarily to the increase in interest rates during the year. In 2005, gains on sales of available-for-sale securities
declined as the impact of rising interest rates was partly oÅset by an increase in the volume of resecuritization activity.

Total security impairments
Total security impairments in 2006, 2005 and 2004 included:
‚ $147 million, $71 million and $66 million, respectively, related to mortgage-related interest-only securities, primarily

due to periodic declines in mortgage interest rates experienced during those years;

‚ $332 million, $115 million and $60 million, respectively, related to mortgage-related securities where we determined
that a decline in fair value below amortized cost was other-than-temporary due to the deterioration of the credit
quality of the underlying mortgage loans or because the impairment was interest-rate related and we did not have the
intent to hold the security until the loss would be recovered; and

‚ $61 million, $185 million and $Ì million, respectively, related to impairments of certain commercial mortgage-
backed securities which involved cash Öows from mixed pools of multifamily and non-residential commercial
mortgages. In December 2005, HUD determined that these mixed-pool investments were not authorized under our
charter and OFHEO subsequently directed us to divest these investments, which we did in 2006.

Gains (Losses) on Debt Retirement

We repurchase or call our outstanding debt securities from time to time to help support the liquidity and predictability
of the market for our debt securities and to manage our mix of assets and liabilities. When we repurchase outstanding debt,
we recognize a gain or loss related to the diÅerence between its fair value and its carrying value, including any remaining
unamortized deferred items (e.g., premiums, discounts, issuance costs and hedging-related basis adjustments). When we
exercise a call option on our callable debt, we recognize a gain or loss related to the diÅerence between its call price and its
carrying value, including any remaining unamortized deferred items.

In 2006 and 2005, we recognized net gains on debt retirements due primarily to the repurchases of outstanding debt
trading at attractive prices to take advantage of favorable funding spreads relative to LIBOR on our new debt issuances. In
2004, we recognized net losses on debt retirements due primarily to the repurchase of outstanding debt to help preserve the
liquidity and price performance of our debt securities as market interest rates declined, particularly in the early part of the
year.

Other Income

Other income increased in 2006 as we recognized net foreign-currency gains on foreign-currency denominated debt as

the U.S. dollar strengthened relative to the Euro during December 2006. We actively manage the foreign-currency risk
associated with our foreign-currency denominated debt using derivatives, which were designated in fair value hedge
accounting relationships until we voluntarily discontinued hedge accounting for those derivatives on December 1, 2006.
After that date, we continued to manage our foreign-currency risk; however, translation gains and losses on our foreign-
currency denominated debt were recorded in Other income and were substantially oÅset by net losses we recorded in
Derivative gains (losses). In 2005, Other income included approximately $80 million of expense, net, related to certain errors
not material to our consolidated Ñnancial statements with respect to income in previously reported periods.

Administrative Expenses

Salaries and employee beneÑts increased during each of the past three years primarily because we hired additional

employees in support of our Ñnancial reporting and infrastructure-related activities. In an eÅort to recruit new talent and
retain existing employees, we continued to experience increases in employee incentive compensation costs, such as employee
stock compensation, special incentive awards and annual employee bonuses. The cessation of our SS&TG business unit and
external Money Manager program activities during the fourth quarter of 2004 and related employee terminations partially
oÅset other increases in Salaries and employee beneÑts during 2005.

In 2006, professional services expense increased as we progressed with various initiatives to improve our Ñnancial

accounting systems and continued our remediation activities. Professional services expense declined during 2005 in part
because we were able to replace consultants with employees, increasing our Salaries and employee beneÑts expense as a
consequence.

Other administrative expenses are presented net of certain expenses that we defer related to software development
activities. The net eÅect of these capitalized software costs, including the write-oÅ of previously capitalized amounts, was an
increase (reduction) to Other administrative expenses totaling $15 million, $29 million and $(94) million in 2006, 2005 and
2004, respectively. In addition, Other administrative expenses increased in 2006 and 2005 compared to 2004 as a result of
higher  OFHEO  regulatory  assessments  associated  with  its  oversight  responsibilities  and  charitable  contributions,
particularly associated with Hurricane Katrina.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses declined in 2006 as compared with 2005, which included an additional provision of $128
million for our estimate of incurred losses for loans aÅected by Hurricane Katrina. In 2006, we reversed $82 million of the
provision for credit losses recorded in 2005 associated with Hurricane Katrina because the related payment and delinquency
experience on aÅected properties was more favorable than expected. Absent the adjustments related to Hurricane Katrina,
the provision for credit losses would have been $297 million, $123 million and $143 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. We recorded additional reserves in 2006 related to our single-family portfolio reÖecting:

‚ increased estimates of incurred losses with respect to delinquent loans that are expected to experience higher default

rates based on their year of origination;

‚ an observed increase in the transition rates of loans through delinquency to foreclosure and corresponding increases in

the number of properties that we acquired as real estate owned; and

‚ increases in the expected severity of losses on a per-property basis, driven in part by the expectation of low or slower

home price appreciation in certain areas.

We expect that near-term credit losses, which include net charge-oÅs and REO expenses, will rise while still remaining

below longer-term historical levels, as home price appreciation continues to slow signiÑcantly.

Losses on Certain Credit Guarantees

Losses on certain credit guarantees includes (a) losses recognized upon the issuance of PCs in Guarantor Swap

transactions and (b) losses on non-performing loans repurchased from PC loan pools.

38

Freddie Mac

We negotiate contracts with our customers in Guarantor Swap transactions based upon our view of the overall
economics of the transaction, considering the volume and types of mortgage loans to be delivered to us and our estimates of
the net present value of related future guarantee fees, credit costs and other associated cash Öows. However, the accounting
for our guarantee-related assets and liabilities is not determined at the contract level, rather it is determined separately for
each PC-related loan pool. We determine the initial fair value of the pool-level guarantee-related assets and liabilities using
methodologies that employ direct market-based information that may diÅer from the estimates we use to negotiate the
guarantee fee we charge customers. While our guarantee fees are subject to competitive pressure and we may enter into
transactions for which our expectations of economic returns are below our normal return thresholds (e.g., to achieve our
aÅordable housing goals or maintain our market share), we expect the vast majority of our Guarantor Swap transactions
will generate positive economic returns over the lives of the related PCs.

For each loan pool created, we compare the initial fair value of the related Guarantee obligation to the initial fair value

of the related Guarantee asset and credit enhancement-related assets. If the Guarantee obligation is greater than the
Guarantee asset, we immediately recognize a loss equal to the diÅerence with respect to that pool. If the Guarantee
obligation is less than the Guarantee asset, no initial gain is recorded; rather, guarantee income equal to the diÅerence is
deferred as an addition to the Guarantee obligation and is recognized as that liability is amortized. Accordingly, a Guarantor
Swap transaction may result in some loan pools for which a loss is recognized immediately in earnings and other loan pools
where guarantee income is deferred. We record these losses as Losses on certain credit guarantees.

In 2006 and 2005, we realized losses of $350 million and $234 million, respectively, on certain Guarantor Swap
transactions entered into during those years. The increase in these losses was driven by a combination of higher expected
future credit costs and competitive pressure on guarantee fees. In addition, our Guarantee asset associated with certain non-
traditional mortgage products, including interest-only loans and option ARMs, is subject to a lower market valuation than
traditional mortgage products due to the lower liquidity or corresponding lack of observable market prices for the associated
cash Öows.

Losses on non-performing loans repurchased from the mortgage loan pools underlying PCs and Structured Securities
held by third parties occur when the carrying value of the repurchased loan, net of any allocated loan loss reserve, exceeds
the estimated fair value of the loan. Increases in market interest rates and declining market values for delinquent loans led
to the recognition of losses of $126 million in 2006.

Losses on certain credit guarantees increased during 2005 when compared to 2004, as a result of the initial application

of our approach for determining the fair values of our guarantee-related assets and liabilities at inception. This approach
uses more market-based information and is discussed in ""NOTE 2: TRANSFERS OF SECURITIZED INTERESTS IN
MORTGAGE-RELATED ASSETS'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements. We also realized losses in 2005 and to a
lesser extent in 2006, as a result of our eÅorts to acquire business at competitive prices in order to meet the aÅordable
housing goals and subgoals established by HUD.

Housing Tax Credit Partnerships

Operating losses of our housing tax credit partnerships, which are recorded as a component of Non-interest expense,
have increased over the last three years as our investments in these partnerships have increased. The increased investment
in housing tax credit partnerships generated related tax beneÑts, which consisted of tax credits and tax deductible operating
losses. Tax beneÑts associated with our investments in housing tax credit partnerships reduced Income tax expense by
$603 million, $476 million and $378 million for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. See ""Income Tax Expense (BeneÑt)'' for
additional information about the impact of these investments on our income tax expense.

Other Expenses

In April 2006, we reached an agreement in principle to settle the securities class action and shareholder derivative
lawsuits relating to our restatement. The settlement became Ñnal in November 2006. In 2005, we recorded expenses of
$339 million to increase our reserves for legal settlements, including this settlement, net of expected insurance proceeds. See
""NOTE 13: LEGAL CONTINGENCIES'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements for more information.

Income Tax Expense (BeneÑt)

For 2006, 2005 and 2004, our eÅective tax rates were (5.1) percent, 14.4 percent and 21.2 percent, respectively. The
decrease in the eÅective tax rate over the past three years is primarily due to the decline in pre-tax income, the year-over-
year increases in tax credits related to our investments in low-income housing tax credit partnerships and interest earned on
tax-exempt  housing-related  securities.  We  expect  tax  credits  resulting  from  our  investments  in  housing  tax  credit
partnerships to grow in the future. However, our ability to use all of the tax credits generated by existing or future
investments in housing tax credit partnerships to reduce our federal income tax liability may be limited.

39

Freddie Mac

Our eÅective tax rate for 2006 and 2004 also beneÑted from reductions to our tax reserves of $174 million and
$94 million, respectively, due predominantly to a favorable U.S. Tax Court decision in 2006 and separate settlements with
the Internal Revenue Service in both years. For additional information, see ""NOTE 14: INCOME TAXES'' to our
consolidated Ñnancial statements.

(1) Consists primarily of securities that can be prepaid prior to their contractual maturity without penalty.
(2) Credit ratings for most securities are designated by at least two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. At December 31, 2006 and 2005,
all of our available-for-sale non-mortgage-related securities were rated A or better. At December 31, 2004, 99.9% of these securities were rated A or
better.
The increase in the Cash and investments portfolio during 2006 compared to 2005 was in part driven by our decision to
maintain higher levels of liquid investments to ensure that we could appropriately service our outstanding debt and PCs and
Structured Securities while operating under the Federal Reserve Board's intraday overdraft policy, which was revised
eÅective July 2006. The revised policy restricts the GSEs, among others, from maintaining intraday overdraft positions at the
Federal Reserve.

(1) Notional or contractual amounts are used to calculate the periodic amounts to be received and paid and generally do not represent actual amounts to be
exchanged or directly reÖect our exposure to institutional credit risk. Notional or contractual amounts are not recorded as assets or liabilities on our
consolidated balance sheets.

(2) The fair value by derivative type presented in this table is shown prior to netting by counterparty. The fair value of derivatives presented on our

consolidated balance sheets, however, is netted by counterparty, and is reported in the Derivative assets, at fair value and Derivative liabilities, at fair
value captions. The total fair value of the derivative portfolio presented in this table equals the diÅerence between the fair value of the derivative assets
and derivative liabilities presented on our consolidated balance sheets. The fair values for futures are directly derived from quoted market prices. Fair
values of other derivatives are derived primarily from valuation models using market data inputs.

(3) Primarily represents written options, including guarantees of stated Ñnal maturity of issued Structured Securities and written call options on PCs we

issued.

The carrying value of our derivative assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets is equal to their fair value.

The  composition  of  our  derivative  portfolio  will  change  from  period  to  period  as  a  result  of  derivative  purchases,
terminations or assignments prior to contractual maturity and expiration of the derivatives at their contractual maturity. We
record changes in fair values of our derivatives in current income or, to the extent our accounting hedge relationships are
eÅective, we defer those changes in AOCI or oÅset them with basis adjustments to the related hedged item. As a result, the
increases or decreases in fair value by derivative categories will not correspond directly to Derivative gains (losses) or Hedge
accounting gains (losses) on our consolidated statements of income.

The fair value of the total derivative portfolio increased in 2006 due primarily to the increase in the fair value of foreign-

currency swaps we use to economically hedge Euro-denominated debt as the U.S. dollar weakened relative to the Euro.

Several factors contributed to the change in the composition of our derivative portfolio during 2006. We entered into
additional pay-Ñxed swaps with relatively short maturities to oÅset our yield curve exposure in response to the continued
Öattening of the yield curve and generally higher interest rates in 2006. We entered into additional receive-Ñxed swaps as a
result of economic hedging activities related to our callable debt securities outstanding, which increased as a proportion of
our total debt portfolio during 2006. We employ receive-Ñxed swaps to protect against a decline in interest rates until the
speciÑed call date and between speciÑed call dates of our callable debt. We increased the notional balance of our call
swaptions to manage the risk of further declines in market interest rates following the declines observed in the second half of
the year. The notional balance of our futures declined in 2006 primarily because we continued to reduce our position in
Eurodollar future contracts held for risk management purposes in response to movements in short-term rates. The notional
balance of our foreign-currency swaps declined due to maturities of such swaps throughout 2006 that were not replaced by
new contracts as the balance of our Euro-denominated debt securities declined during the year.

Option premiums paid were $2,784 million and $2,248 million during 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Table 24 shows the fair value for each derivative type and the maturity proÑle of our derivative positions. A positive fair

value in Table 24 for each derivative type is the estimated amount, prior to netting by counterparty, that we would be
entitled to receive if we terminated the derivatives of that type. A negative fair value for a derivative type is the estimated
amount, prior to netting by counterparty, that we would owe if we terminated the derivatives of that type. See ""Table 36 Ì

In 2006 and 2005, the primary drivers aÅecting the net increase in our Guarantee asset balance were our business
volumes and changes in mortgage interest rates. Additions, net of repurchases, increased in 2006 primarily because net
repurchases of PCs and Structured Securities into the Retained portfolio declined. When a PC or Structured Security is
repurchased into the Retained portfolio, any related Guarantee asset becomes a component of the associated PC residual,
therefore such repurchases reduce the balance of the Guarantee asset. Losses on Guarantee asset decreased as mortgage
interest rates increased during 2006, which extended the expected lives of the PCs and Structured Securities and increased
the fair value of the Guarantee asset.

obligation.

The Guarantee obligation increased in 2006 due to business volume and a decline in the rate of amortization. Generally

increasing mortgage interest rates resulted in lower liquidation rates on outstanding PCs and Structured Securities.

Total Stockholders' Equity

The balance of Total stockholders' equity increased in 2006 primarily as a result of Net income, partially oÅset by
preferred and common stock dividends declared during 2006. During 2006, we repurchased $2.0 billion of outstanding shares
of common stock and issued $1.5 billion of non-cumulative, perpetual preferred stock in connection with a plan to replace
$2.0 billion of common stock with an equal amount of preferred stock. The repurchase of outstanding shares of common
stock and the issuance of non-cumulative, perpetual preferred stock during 2006 resulted in a net reduction of $0.5 billion to
the balance of Total stockholders' equity. During the Ñrst quarter of 2007, we issued $1.1 billion of non-cumulative,
perpetual preferred stock, including $500 million to complete the planned issuance described above and $600 million to
replace higher-cost preferred stock that we redeemed in 2007. See ""LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Ì
Capital Resources Ì Core Capital'' for additional information.

The balance of AOCI at December 31, 2006 was a net loss of approximately $7.9 billion, net of taxes, compared to a net
loss of $8.8 billion, net of taxes, at December 31, 2005. The reduction in the net loss in AOCI was primarily the result of the
amortization of deferred losses in Net interest income related to closed cash Öow hedge relationships, partially oÅset by an
increase in unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities primarily driven by the increase in interest rates during 2006.

CONSOLIDATED FAIR VALUE BALANCE SHEETS ANALYSIS

Our consolidated fair value balance sheets include the estimated fair values of Ñnancial instruments recorded on our

consolidated balance sheets prepared in accordance with GAAP, as well as oÅ-balance sheet Ñnancial instruments that
represent our assets or liabilities that are not recorded on our GAAP consolidated balance sheets. These oÅ-balance sheet
items predominantly consist of: (a) the unrecognized Guarantee asset and Guarantee obligation associated with our PCs
issued through our Guarantor Swap program prior to the implementation of FIN 45, (b) certain commitments to purchase
mortgage loans and (c) certain credit enhancements on manufactured housing asset-backed securities. The fair value
balance sheets also include certain assets and liabilities that are not Ñnancial instruments (such as property and equipment
and real estate owned, which are included in Other assets) at their carrying value in accordance with GAAP. During 2006
and 2005, our fair value results were impacted by several improvements in our approach for estimating the fair value of
certain Ñnancial instruments. See ""OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS'' and ""CRITICAL ACCOUNTING
POLICIES AND ESTIMATES'' as well as ""NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES''
and ""NOTE 16: FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements for more information on fair
values.

Key Components of Changes in Fair Value of Net Assets

Changes in the fair value of net assets from period to period result from returns (measured on a fair value basis) and

capital transactions and are primarily attributable to changes in a number of key components:

Core spread income

Core spread income on the Retained portfolio is a fair value estimate of the net current period accrual of income from
the spread between mortgage-related investments and debt, calculated on an option-adjusted basis. OAS is an estimate of
the yield spread between a given Ñnancial instrument and a benchmark (LIBOR, agency or Treasury) yield curve, after
consideration of potential variability in the instrument's cash Öows resulting from any options embedded in the instrument,
such as prepayment options.

Changes in mortgage-to-debt OAS

The fair value of our net assets can be signiÑcantly aÅected from period to period by changes in the net OAS between
the mortgage and agency debt sectors. The fair value impact of changes in OAS for a given period represents an estimate of
the net unrealized increase or decrease in fair value of net assets arising from net Öuctuations in OAS during that period.
We do not attempt to hedge or actively manage the basis risk represented by the impact of changes in mortgage-to-debt
OAS because we generally hold a substantial portion of our mortgage assets for the long term and we do not believe that
periodic increases or decreases in the fair value of net assets arising from Öuctuations in OAS will signiÑcantly aÅect the
long-term value of the Retained portfolio. Our estimate of the eÅect of changes in OAS excludes the impact of other
market risk factors we actively manage, or economically hedge, to keep interest-rate risk exposure within prescribed limits.

Asset-liability management return

Asset-liability management return represents the estimated net increase or decrease in the fair value of net assets
resulting from net exposures related to the market risks we actively manage. We do not hedge all of the interest-rate risk that
exists at the time a mortgage is purchased or that arises over its life. The market risks to which we are exposed as a result of
our Retained portfolio activities that we actively manage include duration and convexity risks, yield curve risk and volatility
risk. We seek to manage these risk exposures within prescribed limits as part of our overall portfolio management strategy.
Taking these risk positions and managing them within prudent limits is an integral part of our strategy to optimize the risk/
reward proÑle of our investment activity and produce fair value growth. We expect that the residual risk positions we take
and manage under our integrated risk management framework will produce fair value returns that contribute to meeting our
fair value growth objectives, although those positions may result in a net increase or decrease in fair value for a given period.
During 2006, our duration and convexity risk level as measured by our PMVS was below the risk limits set by management
and the board of directors. See ""RISK MANAGEMENT Ì Interest-Rate Risk and Other Market Risks'' for more
information.

Core guarantee fees, net

Core guarantee fees, net represents a fair value estimate of the annual income of the credit guarantee portfolio, based on

current portfolio characteristics and market conditions. This estimate considers both contractual guarantee fees collected

48

Freddie Mac

over the life of the credit guarantee portfolio and credit-related delivery fees collected up-front when pools are formed, and
associated costs and obligations, which include default costs.

Change in the fair value of the credit guarantee portfolio

Change in the fair value of the credit guarantee portfolio represents the estimated impact on the fair value of the credit
guarantee business resulting from additions to the portfolio (net diÅerence between the fair values of the Guarantee asset
and Guarantee obligation recorded when pools are formed) plus the eÅect of changes in interest rates, projections of the
future credit outlook and other market factors (e.g., impact of the passage of time on cash Öow discounting). In 2005, we
changed our method for estimating the fair values of the Guarantee asset and Guarantee obligation. See ""NOTE 2:
TRANSFERS OF SECURITIZED INTERESTS IN MORTGAGE-RELATED ASSETS'' to our consolidated Ñnancial
statements for additional information.

We generally do not hedge changes in the fair value of our existing credit guarantee portfolio, with two exceptions
discussed below. While periodic changes in the fair value of the credit guarantee portfolio may have a signiÑcant impact on
the fair value of net assets, we believe that changes in the fair value of our existing credit guarantee portfolio are not the best
indication of long-term fair value expectations because such changes do not reÖect our expectation that, over time,
replacement business will largely replenish guarantee fee income lost because of prepayments. However, to the extent that
projections of the future credit outlook are realized our fair value results may be aÅected.

We hedge interest-rate exposure related to net buy-ups (up-front payments we made that increase the guarantee fee

that we will receive over the life of the pool) and Öoat (expected gains or losses resulting from our mortgage security
program remittance cycles). These value changes are excluded from our estimate of the changes in fair value of the credit
guarantee portfolio, so that it reÖects only the impact of changes in interest rates and other market factors on the unhedged
portion of the projected cash Öows from the credit guarantee business. The fair value changes associated with net buy-ups
and Öoat are considered in asset-liability management return (described above) because they relate to hedged positions.

Fee income

Fee income includes miscellaneous fees, such as resecuritization fees, fees generated by our automated underwriting

service and delivery fees on some mortgage purchases.

Discussion of Fair Value Results

In 2006, the fair value of net assets attributable to common stockholders, before capital transactions, increased by
$2.5 billion, resulting in a return on the average fair value of net assets attributable to common stockholders of approximately
9.5 percent, compared to a $1.0 billion increase, or 3.7 percent return, in 2005. In addition, the payment of common
dividends and the repurchase of common shares reduced total fair value by $3.3 billion. The fair value of net assets
attributable  to  common  stockholders  as  of  December  31,  2006  was  $26.0  billion,  compared  to  $26.8  billion  as  of
December 31, 2005.

Estimated impact of changes in mortgage-to-debt OAS on fair value results

For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we estimate that on a pre-tax basis the increases in the fair value of
net assets attributable to common stockholders, before capital transactions included decreases of approximately $0.9 billion
and $2.7 billion, respectively, due to a net widening of mortgage-to-debt OAS.

We believe disclosing the estimated impact of changes in mortgage-to-debt OAS on the fair value of net assets is
helpful to understanding our current period fair value results in the context of our long-term fair value return expectation.
Our long-term expectation is to generate returns, before capital transactions, over time on the average fair value of net assets
attributable  to  common  stockholders  in  the  low-  to  mid-teens.  However,  period-to-period  returns  may  Öuctuate
substantially due to market conditions. These market conditions include changes in interest rates and other market factors
that aÅect certain components of our fair value changes, including those which we do not attempt to hedge or actively
manage, speciÑcally, the change in mortgage-to-debt OAS with respect to our Retained portfolio and the change in the fair
value of the single-family guarantee portfolio.

Our estimate of the periodic increases or decreases in the fair value of net assets associated with Öuctuations in option-
adjusted spreads provides insight into a component of our fair value results that we do not believe will signiÑcantly aÅect the
long-term fair value of the Retained portfolio. This belief is based on our expectation that diÅerences between the
prepayments forecasted by our models and the actual prepayments we will experience are not likely to be signiÑcant.

How we estimate the impact of changes in mortgage-to-debt OAS on fair value results

The impact of changes in OAS on fair value should be understood as an estimate rather than a precise measurement. To
estimate the impact of OAS changes, we use models that involve the forecast of interest rates and prepayment behavior and
other inputs. We also make assumptions about a variety of factors, including macroeconomic and security-speciÑc data,

49

Freddie Mac

interest-rate paths, cash Öows and prepayment rates. We use these models and assumptions in running our business, and we
rely on many of the models in producing our Ñnancial statements and measuring, managing and reporting interest-rate and
other market risks. The use of diÅerent estimation methods or the application of diÅerent assumptions could result in a
materially diÅerent estimate of OAS impact.

We revised the method we previously used to report the impact that changes in OAS have on our fair value results. This
methodology change had no impact on the actual change in the fair value of net assets, only our attribution of that change.
This change was made in order to more closely align the process we use to report the impact of changes in OAS with the
interest rate risk management framework of our investment activities.

An integral part this framework includes the attribution of fair value changes to assess the performance of our

investment activities. On a daily basis, all interest rate sensitive assets, liabilities and derivatives are modeled using our
proprietary prepayment and interest rate models. Management uses interest-rate risk statistics generated from this process,
along with daily market movements, coupon accruals and price changes, to estimate and attribute returns into various risk
factors commonly used in the Ñxed income industry to quantify and understand sources of fair value return. One important
risk factor is the change in fair value due to changes in mortgage-to-debt OAS.

The method previously used to estimate the impact of mortgage-to-debt OAS changes on fair value was performed on a

monthly basis and excluded certain portions of the investment portfolio. The new methodology estimates the impact of
mortgage-to-debt OAS changes on fair value on a daily basis and includes all Ñnancial instruments.

On a pre-tax basis for 2006 and 2005, the reported OAS impacts using our new methodology were reductions in fair

value of $0.9 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively. Using our previous methodology, the OAS impacts were pre-tax
reductions in fair value of $0.6 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively.

Understanding our estimate of the impact of changes in mortgage-to-debt OAS on fair value results

A number of important qualiÑcations apply to our disclosed estimates. The estimated impact of the change in option-
adjusted spreads on the fair value of our net assets in any given period does not depend on other components of the change
in fair value. Although the fair values of our Ñnancial instruments will generally move toward their par values as the
instruments approach maturity, investors should not expect that the eÅect of past changes in OAS will necessarily reverse
through future changes in OAS. To the extent that actual prepayment or interest rate distributions diÅer from the forecasts
contemplated in our models, changes in values reÖected in mortgage-to-debt OAS may not be recovered in fair value
returns at a later date.

When the OAS on a given asset widens, the fair value of that asset will typically decline, all other things being equal.
However, we believe such OAS widening has the eÅect of increasing the likelihood that, in future periods, we will recognize
income at a higher spread on this existing asset. The reverse is true when the OAS on a given asset tightens Ì current
period fair values for that asset typically increase due to the tightening in OAS, while future income recognized on the asset
is more likely to be earned at a reduced spread. Although a widening of OAS is generally accompanied by lower current
period fair values, it can also provide us with greater opportunity to purchase new assets for our Retained portfolio at the
wider mortgage-to-debt OAS.

For these reasons, our estimate of the impact of the change in OAS provides information regarding one component of
the change in fair value for the particular period being evaluated. However, results for a single period should not be used to
extrapolate long-term fair value returns. We believe the potential fair value return of our business over the long term
depends primarily on our ability to add new assets at attractive mortgage-to-debt OAS and to eÅectively manage over time
the risks associated with these assets, as well as the risks of our existing portfolio to ensure that we realize anticipated
returns on our business. In other words, to capture the fair value returns we expect, we have to apply accurate estimates of
future  prepayment  rates  and  other  performance  characteristics  at  the  time  we  purchase  assets,  and  then  manage
successfully the range of market risks associated with a debt-funded mortgage portfolio over the life of these assets.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Our business activities require that we maintain adequate liquidity to make payments upon the maturity or repurchase

of our debt securities, purchase mortgage loans, mortgage-related securities and other investments, make payments of
principal and interest on our debt securities and on our guaranteed PCs and Structured Securities, make net payments on
derivative instruments, fund our general operations and pay dividends on our preferred and common stock.

We fund our cash requirements primarily by issuing short-term and long-term debt. Other sources of cash include:
‚ receipts of principal and interest payments on securities we hold or mortgage loans we have securitized and sold;
‚ sales of securities we hold;

50

Freddie Mac

‚ borrowings against mortgage-related securities and other investment securities we hold;
‚ other cash Öows from operating activities, including guarantee activities; and
‚ issuances of common and preferred stock.

We measure our cash position on a daily basis, netting uses of cash with sources of cash. We manage the net cash
position over a rolling forecasted 120-day period, with the goal of providing the amount of debt funding needed to cover
expected net cash outÖows without adversely aÅecting our overall funding levels. We maintain alternative sources of liquidity
to allow normal operations for 120 days without relying upon the issuance of unsecured debt consistent with industry
practices of sound liquidity management. Our daily liquidity management activities are consistent with the liquidity
component of our commitment with OFHEO to maintain alternative sources of liquidity to allow normal operations for
90 days without relying upon issuance of unsecured debt. See ""RISK MANAGEMENT AND DISCLOSURE COMMIT-
MENTS'' for further information.

The Federal Reserve Board revised its payments system risk policy, eÅective in July 2006, to restrict or eliminate

daylight overdrafts by GSEs in connection with their use of the Fedwire system. The revised policy also includes a
requirement that the GSEs fully fund their accounts in the system to the extent necessary to cover payments on their debt
and mortgage-related securities each day, before the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, acting as Ñscal agent for the
GSEs, will initiate such payments. We have taken actions to fully fund our account as necessary, such as opening lines of
credit with third parties. Certain of these lines of credit require that we post collateral that, in certain limited circumstances,
the secured party has the right to repledge to other third parties, including the Federal Reserve Bank. As of December 31,
2006, we pledged approximately $20.2 billion of securities to these secured parties. These lines of credit, which provide
additional intraday liquidity to fund our activities through the Fedwire system, are uncommitted intraday loan facilities. As a
result, while we expect to continue to use these facilities, we may not be able to draw on them if and when needed. See
""NOTE  5:  RETAINED  PORTFOLIO  AND  CASH  AND  INVESTMENTS  PORTFOLIO''  to  our  consolidated
Ñnancial statements for further information. We believe that the revisions to the Federal Reserve Board's policies will not
have a material adverse eÅect on our liquidity.

To fund our business activities, we depend on the continuing willingness of investors to purchase our debt securities.

Any change in applicable legislative or regulatory exemptions, including those described in ""REGULATION AND
SUPERVISION,'' could adversely aÅect our access to some debt investors, thereby potentially increasing our debt funding
costs. However, because of our Ñnancial performance and our regular and signiÑcant participation as an issuer in the capital
markets, our sources of liquidity have remained adequate to meet our needs and we anticipate that they will continue to be
so.

Under our charter, the Secretary of the Treasury has discretionary authority to purchase our obligations up to a
maximum of $2.25 billion principal balance outstanding at any one time. However, we do not rely on this authority as a
source of liquidity to meet our obligations.

Depending on market conditions and the mix of derivatives we employ in connection with our ongoing risk management
activities, our derivative portfolio can be either a net source or a net use of cash. For example, depending on the prevailing
interest-rate environment, interest-rate swap agreements could cause us either to make interest payments to counterparties
or to receive interest payments from counterparties. Purchased options require us to pay a premium while written options
allow us to receive a premium.

We are required to pledge collateral to third parties in connection with secured Ñnancing and daily trade activities. In
accordance with contracts with certain derivative counterparties, we post collateral to those counterparties for derivatives in
a net loss position, after netting by counterparty, above agreed-upon posting thresholds. See ""NOTE 5: RETAINED
PORTFOLIO AND CASH AND INVESTMENTS PORTFOLIO'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements for informa-
tion about assets we pledge as collateral.

We are involved in various legal proceedings, including those discussed in ""NOTE 13: LEGAL CONTINGENCIES''

to our consolidated Ñnancial statements, which may result in a use of cash.

Debt Securities

We fund our operating cash needs and Ñnance our purchases of mortgage loans, mortgage-related securities and non-

mortgage-related securities held in our Retained portfolio and Cash and investments portfolio primarily through the
issuance of short-term and long-term debt. Table 30 summarizes the par value of the debt securities we issued, based on
settlement dates, during 2006 and 2005. We seek to maintain a variety of consistent, active funding programs that promote
high-quality coverage by market makers and reach a broad group of institutional and retail investors. By diversifying our
investor base and the types of debt securities we oÅer, we believe we enhance our ability to maintain continuous access to
the debt markets under a variety of market conditions.

Short-Term Debt. We fund our operating cash needs primarily by issuing Reference Bills» securities and other

discount notes, which are short-term instruments with maturities of one year or less that are sold on a discounted basis,
paying only principal at maturity. Our Reference Bills» securities program consists of large issues of short-term debt that we
auction to dealers on a regular schedule. We issue discount notes with maturities ranging from one day to one year in
response to investor demand and our cash needs. Short-term debt also includes certain Medium-term Notes that have
original maturities of one year or less.

Long-Term Debt. We issue long-term debt primarily through our Medium-term Notes program and our Reference

Notes» securities program.

Medium-term Notes. We issue a variety of Ñxed- and variable-rate Medium-term Notes, including callable and
non-callable Ñxed-rate securities, zero-coupon securities and variable-rate securities, with various maturities ranging up
to 30 years. Medium-term Notes with original maturities of one year or less are classiÑed as short-term debt. Medium-
term Notes typically contain call provisions, eÅective as early as three months or as distant as 10 years after the
securities are issued.

Reference Notes» Securities. Through our Reference Notes» securities program, we sell large issues of long-term
debt that provide investors worldwide with a high-quality, liquid investment vehicle. Reference Notes» securities are
regularly issued, non-callable Ñxed-rate securities, which we currently issue with original maturities ranging from two
through ten years. We primarily issue securities denominated in U.S. dollars. We have also issued 4Reference Notes»
securities denominated in Euros, but did not issue any such securities in 2006 or 2005. We hedge our exposure to
changes in foreign-currency exchange rates by entering into swap transactions that convert foreign-currency denomi-
nated obligations to U.S. dollar-denominated obligations. See ""RISK MANAGEMENT Ì Interest-Rate Risk and
Other Market Risks Ì Sources of Interest-Rate Risk and Other Market Risks'' for more information.
The  investor  base  for  our  debt  is  predominantly  institutional.  However,  we  also  conduct  weekly  oÅerings  of
FreddieNotes» securities, a Medium-term Notes program designed to meet the investment needs of retail investors.

Subordinated Debt.

In December 2006, we issued approximately $2.0 billion of Freddie SUBS» securities, including

approximately $1.5 billion issued in exchange for previously issued Freddie SUBS» securities. In addition, we called
approximately $1.0 billion of previously issued Freddie SUBS» securities in August 2006 and issued approximately
$1.25 billion of Freddie SUBS» securities in June 2006. We did not issue, call or repurchase any Freddie SUBS» securities
during 2005 and 2004. Our issuance of subordinated debt in the form of Freddie SUBS» securities supports our risk
management and disclosure commitments with OFHEO (described in ""RISK MANAGEMENT AND DISCLOSURE
COMMITMENTS'').

Debt Retirement Activities. We repurchase or call our outstanding debt securities from time to time to help support

the liquidity and predictability of the market for our debt securities and to manage interest rate risk associated with our
assets and liabilities. When our debt securities become seasoned or European call options on our debt securities expire, they
may become less liquid, which could cause their price to decline. By repurchasing debt securities, we help preserve the

52

Freddie Mac

liquidity of our debt securities and improve their price performance, which helps to reduce our funding costs over the long-
term. Our repurchase activities also help us manage the funding mismatch, or duration gap, created by changes in interest
rates. For example, when interest rates decline, the expected lives of the mortgage-related securities held in our Retained
portfolio decrease, reducing the need for long-term debt. We use a number of diÅerent means to shorten the eÅective
weighted average lives of our outstanding debt securities and thereby manage the duration gap, including retiring long-term
debt through repurchases or calls; changing our debt funding mix between short- and long-term debt; or using derivative
instruments, such as entering into receive-Ñxed swaps or terminating or assigning pay-Ñxed swaps. From time to time, we
may also enter into transactions in which we exchange newly issued debt securities for similar outstanding debt securities
held by investors. These transactions are accounted for as debt exchanges. See ""CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS Ì Non-Interest Income (Loss) Ì Gains (Losses) on Debt Retirement'' for more information.

Credit Ratings. Our ability to access the capital markets and other sources of funding, as well as our cost of funds, are

In addition to the ratings described in Table 32, S&P provides a ""Risk-To-The-Government'' rating that measures our
ability to meet our debt obligations and the value of our franchise in the absence of any implied government support. Our
""Risk-To-The-Government'' rating was AA¿ at March 1, 2007. Moody's also provides a ""Bank Financial Strength'' rating
that represents Moody's opinion of our intrinsic safety and soundness and, as such, excludes certain external credit risks and
credit support elements. Ratings under this measure range from A, the highest, to E. Our ""Bank Financial Strength'' rating
was A¿ at March 1, 2007.

Equity Securities
See ""Capital Resources Ì Core Capital'' and ""MARKET FOR THE COMPANY'S COMMON EQUITY, RE-
LATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES'' for information
about issuances and repurchases of our equity securities.

Cash and Investments Portfolio
We maintain a cash and investments portfolio that is important to our Ñnancial management and our ability to provide
liquidity and stability to the mortgage market. At December 31, 2006, the investments in this portfolio consisted of liquid
non-mortgage-related securities that we could sell or Ñnance to provide us with an additional source of liquidity to fund our
business operations. We also use the portfolio to help manage recurring cash Öows and meet our other cash management
needs. In addition, we use the portfolio to hold capital on a temporary basis until we can deploy it into Retained portfolio
investments or credit guarantee opportunities. We may also sell or Ñnance the securities in this portfolio to maintain capital
reserves to meet mortgage funding needs, provide diverse sources of liquidity or help manage the interest-rate risk inherent
in mortgage-related assets.

The non-mortgage-related securities in the Cash and investments portfolio consist principally of asset-backed securities
and other marketable assets that can be readily converted to cash. For additional information on our Cash and investments
portfolio, see ""CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS ANALYSIS Ì Cash and Investments.'' The non-mortgage-

53

Freddie Mac

related investments in this portfolio may expose us to institutional credit risk and the risk that the investments could decline
in value due to market-driven events such as credit downgrades or changes in interest rates and other market conditions. See
""RISK MANAGEMENT Ì Credit Risks Ì Institutional Credit Risk'' for more information.

Contractual Obligations

Table 33 provides aggregated information about the listed categories of our contractual obligations. These contractual

obligations aÅect our short- and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs. The table includes information about
undiscounted future cash payments due under these contractual obligations, aggregated by type of contractual obligation,
including the contractual maturity proÑle of our debt securities and other liabilities reported on our consolidated balance
sheet and our operating leases at December 31, 2006. The timing of actual future payments may diÅer from those presented
due to a number of factors, including discretionary debt repurchases. Our contractual obligations include other purchase
obligations that are enforceable and legally binding. For purposes of this table, purchase obligations are included through the
termination date speciÑed in the respective agreements, even if the contract is renewable. Many of our purchase agreements
for goods or services include clauses that would allow us to cancel the agreement prior to the expiration of the contract within
a speciÑed notice period; however, this table includes such obligations without regard to such termination clauses (unless
we have provided the counterparty with actual notice of our intention to terminate the agreement).

In addition, in Table 33, the amounts of future interest payments on debt securities outstanding at December 31, 2006

are based on the contractual terms of our debt securities at that date. These amounts were determined using the key
assumptions that (a) variable-rate debt continues to accrue interest at the contractual rates in eÅect at December 31, 2006
until maturity and (b) callable debt continues to accrue interest until its contractual maturity. The amounts of future
interest payments on debt securities presented do not reÖect certain factors that will change the amounts of interest payments
on our debt securities after December 31, 2006, such as (a) changes in interest rates, (b) the call or retirement of any debt
securities, (c) the issuance of new debt securities and (d) other factors. Accordingly, the amounts presented in the table do
not represent a forecast of our future cash interest payments or interest expense.

Table 33 excludes the following items:

‚ future payments related to our Guarantee obligation, because the amount and timing of such payments are generally

contingent upon the occurrence of future events and are therefore uncertain;

‚ future contributions to our Pension Plan, as we have not yet determined whether a contribution is required for 2007.
See ""NOTE 15: EMPLOYEE BENEFITS'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements for additional information
about contributions to our Pension Plan;

‚ future cash settlements on derivative agreements not yet accrued, because the amount and timing of such payments

are dependent upon changes in the underlying Ñnancial instruments and are therefore uncertain; and

‚ future dividends on the preferred stock we issued, because dividends on these securities are non-cumulative. In
addition, the classes of preferred stock issued by our two consolidated real estate investment trust, or REIT,
subsidiaries pay dividends and are cumulative. However, dividends on the REIT preferred stock are excluded because
the timing of these payments is dependent upon declaration by the boards of the REITs.

Capital Resources

Capital Management

Our primary objective in managing capital is preserving our safety and soundness. We also seek to have suÇcient capital
to support our business and mission at attractive long-term returns. See ""NOTE 10: REGULATORY CAPITAL'' to our
consolidated Ñnancial statements for more information regarding our regulatory capital requirements and OFHEO's capital
monitoring framework. As appropriate, we will consider opportunities to return excess capital to shareholders (through
dividends and share repurchases) and optimize our capital structure to lower our cost of capital.

We assess and project our capital adequacy relative to our regulatory requirements as well as our economic risks. This
includes targeting a level of additional capital above each of our capital requirements to help support ongoing compliance
and to accommodate future uncertainties. We evaluate the adequacy of our targeted additional capital in light of changes in
our business and risk exposures.

We develop an annual capital plan that is approved by our board of directors and updated periodically. This plan
provides projections of capital adequacy, taking into consideration our business plans, forecasted earnings, economic risks
and regulatory requirements.

Capital Adequacy

We estimate as of December 31, 2006 that we exceeded each of our regulatory capital requirements, including the

30  percent  mandatory  target  capital  surplus,  based  on  our  most  recent  submissions  to  OFHEO.  See  ""NOTE  10:
REGULATORY CAPITAL'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements for further information regarding our regulatory
capital requirements and OFHEO's capital monitoring framework.

Core Capital

During 2006 and 2005, we added approximately $0.2 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, to Core capital primarily from

Net income of $2.2 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, partly oÅset by the payment of common and preferred stock
dividends totaling $1.6 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. In addition, during 2006, we repurchased $2.0 billion of
outstanding shares of common stock and issued $1.5 billion of non-cumulative, perpetual preferred stock in connection with
a plan to replace $2.0 billion of common stock with an equal amount of preferred stock. During the Ñrst quarter of 2007, we
issued $1.1 billion of non-cumulative, perpetual preferred stock, including $500 million to complete the planned issuance
described above and $600 million to replace higher-cost preferred stock that we redeemed in 2007. In accordance with
OFHEO's capital monitoring framework, we obtained OFHEO's approval for both the common stock repurchases and
preferred stock redemption described above. Also, during the Ñrst quarter of 2007, we received approval from OFHEO and
our board of directors to repurchase up to an additional $1 billion in common stock in conjunction with the issuance of up to
$1 billion in preferred stock.

55

Freddie Mac

Our board of directors approved a dividend per common share of $0.50 for the fourth quarter of 2006 and the Ñrst

quarter of 2007, an increase over the $0.47 per share common dividend that was paid for each of the Ñrst three quarters of
2006 and the fourth quarter of 2005. Our common dividend per share was $0.35 for each of the Ñrst three quarters of 2005
and $0.30 for the fourth quarter of 2004. Our board of directors will determine the amount of future dividends, if any, after
considering factors such as our capital position, and our earnings and growth prospects.

For the fourth quarter of 2004 through the Ñrst quarter of 2007, our board of directors also approved quarterly preferred

stock  dividends  that  were  consistent  with  the  contractual  rates  and  terms  of  the  preferred  stock.  See  ""NOTE  9:
STOCKHOLDERS'  EQUITY''  to  our  consolidated  Ñnancial  statements  for  information  regarding  our  outstanding
issuances of preferred stock.

RISK MANAGEMENT

We are exposed to risks that include interest-rate and other market risks, operational risks and credit risks, among
others, including those described in ""RISK FACTORS.'' We manage risk through a framework, approved by our board of
directors, that recognizes primary risk ownership and management by our business areas. Within this framework, our
executive management committees and divisions responsible for independent risk oversight, which include Enterprise Risk
Oversight, Corporate Compliance and Internal Audit, monitor performance against our risk management strategies and
established risk limits, identify and assess potential issues, and provide oversight regarding changes in business processes and
activities. Oversight of risk management is also provided by our board of directors and its committees. Together, these
groups assess the adequacy and eÅectiveness of the risk management functions across the company.

While we consider both our day-to-day and long-term management of interest-rate and other market risks and credit

risks to be satisfactory, we identiÑed weaknesses in prior years in our overall risk governance framework. We created an
executive management enterprise risk committee in June 2006 to provide a company-wide view of risk and have formed Ñve
subcommittees to focus on credit, market, models, operational and regulatory risks. Our board of directors has also assigned
primary responsibility for oversight of enterprise risk management to the Governance, Nominating and Risk Oversight
Committee of the board of directors. We have taken steps to strengthen our capacity in four important areas: risk
governance, risk identiÑcation, risk measurement and assessment and related education and communication. Accordingly,
we believe we have reduced the severity of the deÑciencies in our risk governance framework so that they no longer
represent a signiÑcant deÑciency in our internal control over Ñnancial reporting.

Operational Risks

Operational risks are inherent in all of our business activities and can become apparent in various ways, including

accounting or operational errors, business interruptions, fraud, failures of the technology used to support our business
activities and other operational challenges from failed or inadequate internal controls. We face a number of signiÑcant
operational risks, including material weaknesses and other signiÑcant deÑciencies in our internal control over Ñnancial
reporting. These operational risks may expose us to Ñnancial loss, may delay or interfere with our ability to return to and
sustain timely Ñnancial reporting, or may result in other adverse consequences. Governance over the management of our
operational risks takes place through the enterprise risk management framework described above. Business areas retain
primary responsibility for identifying, assessing and reporting their operational risks.

Our business processes are highly dependent on our use of technology and business and Ñnancial models. We face
challenges in the areas of system security, change management and information technology application and general controls.
See ""Internal Control Over Financial Reporting'' for more information concerning material weaknesses related to our
systems. In recent years, we have strengthened our processes to validate model assumptions, code, theory and the system
applications that utilize our models. We are currently improving our model oversight processes and enhancing our staÇng
both within the business areas and in our risk oversight functions.

We continue to make signiÑcant investments to build new Ñnancial reporting systems and move to more eÅective and
eÇcient business processing systems. Until those systems are implemented, we continue to remain more reliant on end-user
computing systems than is desirable and we are challenged to eÅectively and timely deliver integrated production systems.
Reliance on certain of these end-user computing systems increases the risk of errors in some of our core operational
processes and increases our dependency on monitoring controls. In the near term, we are mitigating this risk by improving
our documentation and controls over these systems and placing certain key end-user systems into a change management
process controlled by our information technology group.

Our eÅorts to develop and deploy new Ñnancial reporting and business process systems have limited our Öexibility to
release new products and other business initiatives in response to competitive market forces. We manage this risk through a
management committee that monitors key projects and allocates resources to development eÅorts.

56

Freddie Mac

We outsource certain key functions to external parties, including (a) processing functions for trade capture, market risk
management analytics and asset valuation, (b) custody and recordkeeping and (c) processing functions for mortgage loan
underwriting. In addition, we use a process of delegated underwriting for the single-family mortgages we purchase or
securitize. We also expect to implement a process of delegated underwriting for certain multifamily mortgages we purchase
or securitize. See ""Credit Risks Ì Mortgage Credit Risk Ì Underwriting Requirements and Quality Control Standards''
for information about how we mitigate the risks associated with delegated underwriting. We mitigate the risk from our use
of external parties by engaging in active vendor management, such as establishing detailed vendor requirements, reviewing
business continuity plans, monitoring quality assurance processes and using third party reviews of our vendors.

In recognition of the importance of the accuracy and reliability of our valuation of Ñnancial instruments, we engage in an

ongoing internal review of our valuations. We perform analysis of internal valuations on a monthly basis to conÑrm the
reasonableness of the valuations. This analysis is performed by a group that is independent of the business area responsible
for valuing the positions. Our veriÑcation and validation procedures depend on the nature of the security and valuation
methodology being reviewed and may include: comparisons with external pricing sources, comparisons with observed trades,
independent veriÑcation of key valuation model inputs and independent security modeling. Results of the monthly
veriÑcation process, as well as any changes in our valuation methodologies, are reported to a management committee that is
responsible for reviewing and approving the approaches used in our valuations to ensure that they are well controlled and
eÅective, and result in reasonable fair values.

We are also exposed to the risk that our business processes could be adversely aÅected by inadequate staÇng, which
strains existing resources and increases the risk that an error or fraud will not be detected. This risk is of particular concern
for us because of high voluntary employee turnover rates experienced in 2005, critical vacancies and recent changes in our
senior management. During 2006, we Ñlled some important vacancies such as Chief Financial OÇcer, General Counsel,
General Auditor, Corporate Controller and Principal Accounting OÇcer and Chief Information OÇcer. While we have
made progress in our eÅorts to reduce voluntary employee turnover rates and to build a strong management team by Ñlling
several senior positions, we need to continue to recruit additional qualiÑed people into key positions across the organization in
order to achieve our remediation objectives. See ""Internal Control Over Financial Reporting'' for more information
concerning staÇng adequacy risk related to Ñnancial reporting.

In addition to the particular risks and challenges we are facing, we experience ongoing risks that are similar to those of
other large Ñnancial institutions. For example, we are exposed to the risk that a catastrophic event, such as a terrorist event
or natural disaster, could result in a signiÑcant business disruption and an inability to process transactions through normal
business processes. To mitigate this risk, we maintain and test business continuity plans and have established backup
facilities for critical business processes and systems away from, although in the same metropolitan area as, our main oÇces.
In 2006, we established out-of-region capabilities for clearing and treasury services. However, we can make no assurances
that these measures will be suÇcient to respond to the full range of catastrophic events that might occur.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Improving internal control over Ñnancial reporting and mitigating the risks presented by material weaknesses and
signiÑcant deÑciencies in our Ñnancial reporting processes continue to be top corporate priorities. During 2006, we developed
a comprehensive plan for returning to quarterly Ñnancial reporting. The comprehensive plan includes mitigation and
remediation of identiÑed material weaknesses and signiÑcant deÑciencies; strengthening of our Ñnancial close process;
implementation of critical systems initiatives; and completion of a review of our system of internal controls related to the
processing and recording of Ñnancial transactions.

We have made progress implementing changes to our accounting, Ñnancial reporting and operational infrastructure that

have improved our internal control environment, including outsourcing the custody and recordkeeping functions for our
Retained portfolio and Cash and investments portfolio, implementing a new accounting sub-ledger for our Cash and
investments portfolio and upgrading our general ledger system. However, certain key initiatives, including the implementa-
tion of a new sub-ledger for our Retained portfolio, were not completed by year-end as originally planned and will continue
to be part of our remediation eÅorts in 2007.

As a result of our eÅorts, we made signiÑcant progress toward the remediation of our material weaknesses, as described
below. However, each of the material weaknesses identiÑed in prior years persisted throughout 2006 and they continue to
present challenges for us in 2007.

We also made progress in the remediation of the signiÑcant deÑciencies in our internal control and we have mitigated

some of them so that they have been reduced to control deÑciencies in our internal control over Ñnancial reporting. For
example, we enhanced our risk governance framework thereby reducing the severity of the weaknesses that existed in this
area. We also improved our processes for identifying security impairments and the governance of and change management

57

Freddie Mac

processes related to the amortization of deferred premiums, discounts and deferred fees for assets held in our Retained
portfolio.

While we have made progress in our remediation eÅorts, our material weaknesses and remaining signiÑcant deÑciencies

will continue to pose signiÑcant risks to our Ñnancial reporting processes until adequately remediated. The material
weaknesses that aÅected us through December 31, 2006 and continue to present challenges for us, as well as our related
remediation activities, are described below:

Integration among our systems, business units and external service providers. Our systems and processes related to our

operational and Ñnancial accounting systems, business units and external service providers are not adequately integrated.
This inadequate integration increases the risk of error in our Ñnancial reporting due to: (a) the potential failure to correctly
pass information between systems and processes; (b) incompatibility of data between systems; (c) incompatible systems;
or (d) a lack of clarity in process ownership. To compensate for this weakness, we have implemented mitigating controls,
including extensive manual procedures to perform data validation and Ñnancial analytics. We have also enhanced the
communication and coordination between our business units.

Our remediation eÅorts are targeted to address risks posed by (a) the hand-oÅ of data between systems, business units
and various data owners, (b) the reliance on end-user computing solutions or (c) reliance on simplifying assumptions in the
applications of our accounting policies. We have also formalized internal guidance for controls over the hand-oÅ of data at
all stages of our Ñnancial close processes, end-user computing solutions and the use of simplifying assumptions in our
accounting policies. Our remediation plans include identifying areas that require attention, evaluating our application of the
new internal guidance for the hand-oÅ of data and remediating any control deÑciencies identiÑed. We have also undertaken
an initiative to more clearly link the application of our accounting policies to our systems and our end-user computing
solutions.

We have undertaken an initiative to redesign our Ñnancial close process to make timely Ñnancial reporting possible. Our
remediation eÅorts currently focus on implementing enhancements to our current Ñnancial close process, while addressing
our objective of long-term sustainability in our processes. We have deÑned and begun monitoring performance metrics to
evaluate our progress in achieving close targets, with a focus on accuracy and timeliness.

Information technology general controls as they relate to change management. Our controls over managing the
introduction of program and data changes need improvement. Weaknesses in these controls include a lack of consistent
standards and inadequate testing of changes prior to deployment; an environment and processes that increase the diÇculties
of establishing and maintaining internal control; and issues arising from inherent system limitations.

We are implementing new change management processes so that changes to our system applications and new system
implementations are properly designed and approved, fully tested and meet the requirements of the business. We are also
focused on promoting an environment of accountability for adhering to change management processes and providing our
staÅ with the tools and training to implement system changes appropriately.

Information technology general controls as they relate to security administration, management and technology. Our
controls over information systems security administration and management functions need to improve in the following areas:
(a) granting and revoking user access rights; (b) segregation of duties; (c) monitoring user access rights; and (d) periodic
review of the appropriateness of access rights. Weaknesses in these controls could allow unauthorized users to access, enter,
delete or change data in these systems, as well as increase the possibility that entries could be duplicated or omitted
inadvertently.

Our remediation eÅorts include reviewing the design of our existing controls against industry standards, establishing new
procedures to secure data and restrict access to appropriate users, and the development of new tools to monitor access to
data and the types of access granted to speciÑc users. We are also centralizing the responsibility for granting user access to
key system applications and enhancing our automation of controls designed to prevent unauthorized or inappropriate levels
of system access.

Monitoring of results within Ñnancial operations and reporting functions. The controls we use to monitor the results of
our Ñnancial reporting process, such as the performance of Ñnancial analytics and account reconciliations, failed to identify
certain issues that required adjustments to our Ñnancial results prior to our reporting them.

Our remediation eÅorts have included a detailed evaluation and redesign of our Ñnancial analytics and reconciliation
procedures, and the implementation of regular, structured reviews of monthly Ñnancial results and accounting matters. We
are continuing to identify additional Ñnancial analytics improvements that we need to make. Additionally, we need to
continue to execute the new controls for a period of time in order to assess their eÅectiveness.

StaÇng adequacy. During 2006, we made progress in our eÅorts to build a strong management team by Ñlling several
key senior management positions. However, we must continue to recruit additional qualiÑed people into leadership and key

58

Freddie Mac

staÅ positions in targeted functions within the company to achieve our objectives for the remediation of our internal control
deÑciencies. Our employee voluntary turnover rate was higher in 2005 than prior years, but voluntary turnover in 2006 was
signiÑcantly lower than 2005. Undesirable voluntary turnover strains existing resources and contributes to increased
operational risk. Furthermore, our standards of performance need to be enforced in order to create a more eÅective culture of
accountability.

Our remediation activities are focused on addressing staÇng issues in targeted areas across the company by identifying
and Ñlling critical vacancies, addressing staÅ development and training needs, and eliminating key person dependencies in
critical  roles.  Additionally,  we  are  taking  steps  to  build  a  culture  of  accountability  that  supports  operational  risk
management decision-making and promotes the urgency to identify and address deÑciencies in our internal controls. For
example, risk management accountability has been formally included as a performance objective for all our employees. We
are also reinforcing accountability through staÅ training that raises the awareness of risks in our business and highlights the
importance of maintaining eÅective internal controls.

Management risk and control self-assessment process. We do not currently have a self-assessment process for our

internal control over Ñnancial reporting in order to reliably enable management to identify deÑciencies in our internal control,
evaluate the eÅectiveness of internal control or modify our control procedures in response to changes in risk in a timely
manner.

Our remediation activities are focused on an in-depth assessment of the design of internal control over Ñnancial
reporting in our existing business processes and the development of a self-assessment process that will provide management
with a more timely and reliable tool to identify changes to our processes, risks, and controls in order to identify and
remediate control deÑciencies. The new management self-assessment process will be implemented under an enhanced risk
governance structure designed to identify and escalate risk issues and control deÑciencies in a timely manner. Our objective
for this new process is to allow us to assess the design and eÅectiveness of our internal control over Ñnancial reporting in a
manner consistent with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

In addition to these material weaknesses, we identiÑed a number of signiÑcant deÑciencies in our internal control over
Ñnancial reporting that, although not determined to be material weaknesses as of the end of the year, still present risks of
error in our Ñnancial statements and disclosures. These signiÑcant deÑciencies include:

‚ deÑciencies in our processes related to the valuation of our guarantee-related assets and liabilities;

‚ deÑciencies in our controls over the accuracy and completeness of data received from external counterparties or
passed between our business processes and used in our transaction processing and Ñnancial reporting systems;

‚ over-reliance on end-user computing solutions with insuÇcient development, documentation and change controls;

‚ deÑciencies in our new product implementation process; and

‚ deÑciencies in our procedures for monitoring our use of simplifying assumptions in the application of our accounting
policies, and our excessive reliance on such assumptions. The excessive use of simplifying assumptions increases the
risk that insigniÑcant diÅerences, when compared to a stricter application of our accounting policies, could become
consequential over time and result in errors that are not detected (e.g., if the underlying transaction volume aÅected
by a simplifying assumption increases).

As we continue our remediation activities, we may identify additional material weaknesses, signiÑcant deÑciencies or
other operational issues in our internal controls or conclude that signiÑcant deÑciencies we have already identiÑed should be
regarded as material weaknesses, either individually or in the aggregate. Improvements to the processes and controls we put
in place to remediate our control deÑciencies need to operate for a period of time to enable us to evaluate their eÅectiveness.

The material weaknesses and signiÑcant deÑciencies in our internal control over Ñnancial reporting adversely aÅect our

ability to record, process, summarize and report Ñnancial data in a timely manner. Based on the continued existence of
material weaknesses at December 31, 2006, our Chief Executive OÇcer and Chief Financial OÇcer have concluded that our
internal control over Ñnancial reporting was not eÅective at December 31, 2006. In order to compensate for the material
weaknesses and other deÑciencies in our internal controls, we continue to perform extensive veriÑcation and validation
procedures to provide reasonable assurance that our consolidated Ñnancial statements are prepared in accordance with
GAAP. Therefore, in view of the additional procedures we performed, we believe that these weaknesses do not prevent us
from preparing and issuing our consolidated Ñnancial statements in conformity with GAAP.

Our resumption of interim Ñnancial reporting will depend on continued progress with our remediation eÅorts; however,
our objective is to return to quarterly reporting during the second half of 2007. We will begin the process of registering our
common stock with the SEC after resuming timely quarterly reporting.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that the

information required to be disclosed by a company in its Ñnancial reports is accumulated and communicated to its senior
management team as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Full evaluation of our disclosure
controls and procedures has been delayed as our resources are focused on the remediation of our internal control over
Ñnancial reporting.

Interest-Rate Risk and Other Market Risks

Our interest-rate risk management objective is to serve our housing mission by protecting shareholder value in all
interest-rate environments. Our disciplined approach to interest-rate risk management is essential to maintaining a strong
and durable capital base and uninterrupted access to debt and equity capital markets.

Sources of Interest-Rate Risk and Other Market Risks
Our Retained portfolio activities expose us to interest-rate risk and other market risks arising primarily from the
uncertainty as to when borrowers will pay the outstanding principal balance of mortgage loans and mortgage-related
securities held in the Retained portfolio, known as prepayment risk, and the resulting potential mismatch in the timing of our
receipt of cash Öows on our assets versus the timing of our obligation to make payments on our liabilities. For the vast
majority of our mortgage-related investments, the mortgage borrower has the option to make unscheduled payments of
additional principal or to completely pay oÅ a mortgage loan at any time before its scheduled maturity date (without having
to pay a prepayment penalty) or to hold the mortgage loan to its stated maturity.

Our credit guarantee activities also expose us to interest-rate risk because changes in interest rates can cause
Öuctuations in the fair value of our existing credit guarantee portfolio. We generally do not hedge these changes in fair value
except for interest-rate exposure related to net buy-ups and Öoat. Float, which arises from timing diÅerences between when
the borrower pays us and when we reduce the PC balance, can lead to signiÑcant interest expense if the interest rate paid to
a PC investor is higher than the reinvestment rate we earn on payments received from mortgage borrowers.
The types of interest-rate risk and other market risks to which we are exposed are described below.
Duration Risk and Convexity Risk. Duration is a measure of a Ñnancial instrument's price sensitivity to changes in
interest rates. Convexity is a measure of how much a Ñnancial instrument's duration changes as interest rates change. Our
convexity risk primarily results from prepayment risk. We actively manage duration risk and convexity risk through asset
selection and structuring (that is, by identifying or structuring mortgage-related securities with attractive prepayment and
other characteristics), by issuing a broad range of both callable and non-callable debt instruments and by using interest-rate
derivatives. Managing the impact of duration risk and convexity risk is the principal focus of our daily market risk
management activities. These risks are encompassed in our PMVS and duration gap risk measures, discussed in greater
detail below. We use prepayment models to determine the estimated duration and convexity of mortgage assets for our
PMVS and duration gap measures. Expected results can be aÅected by diÅerences between prepayments forecasted by the
models and actual prepayments.

Yield Curve Risk. Yield curve risk is the risk that non-parallel shifts in the yield curve (such as a Öattening or
steepening) will adversely aÅect shareholder value. Because changes in the shape, or slope, of the yield curve often arise due
to changes in the market's expectation of future interest rates at diÅerent points along the yield curve, we evaluate our
exposure to yield curve risk by examining potential reshaping scenarios at various points along the yield curve. Our yield
curve risk under a speciÑed yield curve scenario is reÖected in our PMVS-Yield Curve, or PMVS-YC, disclosure.

Volatility Risk. Volatility risk is the risk that changes in the market's expectation of the magnitude of future
variations in interest rates will adversely aÅect shareholder value. Implied volatility is a key determinant of the value of an
interest-rate option. Since mortgage assets generally include the borrower's option to prepay a loan without penalty, changes
in  implied  volatility  aÅect  the  value  of  mortgage  assets.  We  manage  volatility  risk  through  asset  selection  and  by
maintaining a consistently high percentage of option-embedded liabilities relative to our mortgage assets. We monitor
volatility risk by measuring exposure levels on a daily basis and we maintain internal limits on the amount of volatility risk
exposure that is acceptable to us.

Basis Risk. Basis risk is the risk that interest rates in diÅerent market sectors will not move in tandem and will
adversely aÅect shareholder value. This risk arises principally because we generally hedge mortgage-related investments with
debt securities. We do not actively manage the basis risk arising from funding Retained portfolio investments with our debt
securities, also referred to as mortgage-to-debt option-adjusted spread risk. See ""CONSOLIDATED FAIR VALUE
BALANCE SHEETS ANALYSIS Ì Key Components of Changes in Fair Value of Net Assets Ì Changes in mortgage-
to-debt OAS '' for additional information. We also incur basis risk when we use LIBOR- or Treasury-based instruments in
our risk management activities.

60

Freddie Mac

Foreign-Currency Risk. Foreign-currency risk is the risk that Öuctuations in currency exchange rates (e.g., foreign
currencies to the U.S. dollar) will adversely aÅect shareholder value. We are exposed to foreign-currency risk because we
have debt denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, our functional currency. We eliminate virtually all of our
foreign-currency risk by entering into swap transactions that eÅectively convert foreign-currency denominated obligations
into U.S. dollar-denominated obligations.

Portfolio Market Value Sensitivity and Measurement of Interest-Rate Risk

We employ a risk management strategy that seeks to substantially match the duration characteristics of our assets and
liabilities. To accomplish this, we employ an integrated strategy encompassing asset selection and structuring and asset and
liability management.

Through our asset selection process, we seek to purchase mortgage assets with desirable prepayment expectations based

on our evaluation of their yield-to-maturity, option-adjusted spreads and credit characteristics. Through this selection
process and the restructuring of mortgage assets, we seek to retain cash Öows with more stable risk and investment return
characteristics while selling oÅ the cash Öows that do not meet our investment proÑle.

Through our asset and liability management process, we mitigate interest-rate risk by issuing a wide variety of debt
products. The prepayment option held by mortgage borrowers drives the fair value of our mortgage assets such that the
combined fair value of our mortgage assets and non-callable debt will decline if interest rates move signiÑcantly in either
direction. We mitigate much of our exposure to changes in interest rates by funding a signiÑcant portion of our mortgage
portfolio with callable debt. When interest rates change, our option to redeem this debt oÅsets a large portion of the fair
value change driven by the mortgage prepayment option. At December 31, 2006, approximately 50 percent of our Ñxed-
rate mortgage assets were funded and economically hedged with callable debt. However, because the mortgage prepayment
option is not fully hedged by callable debt, the combined fair value of our mortgage assets and debt will be aÅected by
changes in interest rates.

To further reduce our exposure to changes in interest rates, we hedge a signiÑcant portion of the remaining prepayment
risk with option-based derivatives. These derivatives primarily consist of call swaptions, which tend to increase in value as
interest rates decline, and put swaptions, which tend to increase in value as interest rates increase. With the addition of
these option-based derivatives, the fair value of net assets becomes relatively stable over a wide range of interest rates
because a greater portion of our prepayment risk has been hedged. The fair value of net assets is further stabilized by our
ongoing portfolio rebalancing, primarily involving interest-rate swaps. Although we do not hedge all of our exposure to
changes in interest rates, these exposures are generally well understood, are subject to established limits, and are monitored
and controlled through our disciplined risk management process. See ""CONSOLIDATED FAIR VALUE BALANCE
SHEETS ANALYSIS Ì Key Components of Changes in Fair Value of Net Assets Ì Changes in mortgage-to-debt OAS''
for further information.

We measure our exposure to key interest-rate risks every day against both internal management limits and limits set by
our board of directors. Throughout 2006, our interest-rate risk remained low and well below management and board limits.

PMVS and Duration Gap. Our primary interest-rate risk measures are PMVS and duration gap. PMVS is measured
in two ways, one measuring the estimated sensitivity of our portfolio market value (as deÑned below) to parallel moves in
interest rates (PMVS-L) and the other to nonparallel movements (PMVS-YC).

Our PMVS and duration gap estimates are determined using models that involve our best judgment of interest-rate and
prepayment assumptions. In addition, in the case of PMVS, daily calculations are based on an estimate of the fair value of
our net assets attributable to common stockholders. Accordingly, while we believe that PMVS and duration gap are useful
risk management tools, they should be understood as estimates rather than as precise measurements.

While PMVS and duration gap estimate the exposure of the fair value of net assets attributable to common stockholders
(measured as the fair value of total net assets less the fair value of preferred stock) to changes in interest rates, they do not
capture the potential impact of certain other market risks, such as changes in volatility, basis, prepayment model,
mortgage-to-debt option-adjusted spreads and foreign-currency risk. The impact of these other market risks can be
signiÑcant. See ""Sources of Interest-Rate Risk and Other Market Risks'' discussed above and ""CONSOLIDATED FAIR
VALUE BALANCE SHEETS ANALYSIS Ì Key Components of Changes in Fair Value of Net Assets Ì Changes in
mortgage-to-debt OAS '' for further information.

‚ PMVS-L shows the estimated loss in pre-tax portfolio market value, expressed as a percentage of our after-tax fair
value of net assets attributable to common stockholders, from an immediate adverse 50 basis point parallel shift in
the level of LIBOR rates (i.e., when the yield at each point on the LIBOR yield curve increases or decreases by
50 basis points).

61

Freddie Mac

‚ PMVS-YC shows the estimated loss in pre-tax portfolio market value, expressed as a percentage of our after-tax fair
value of net assets attributable to common stockholders, from an immediate adverse 25 basis point change in the
slope (up and down) of the LIBOR yield curve. The 25 basis point change in slope for the PMVS-YC measure is
obtained by shifting the two-year and ten-year LIBOR rates by an equal amount (12.5 basis points), but in opposite
directions. LIBOR rate shifts between the two-year and ten-year points are interpolated.

‚ Duration gap estimates the net sensitivity of the fair value of our Ñnancial instruments to movements in interest rates.
Duration gap is presented in units expressed as months. A duration gap of zero implies that the change in value of
assets from an instantaneous rate move will be accompanied by an equal and oÅsetting move in the value of debt
and derivatives thus leaving the net fair value of equity unchanged. However, because duration does not capture
convexity exposure (the amount by which duration itself changes as rates move), actual changes in fair value from
interest-rate changes may diÅer from those implied by duration gap alone. For that reason, we believe duration gap is
most useful when used in conjunction with PMVS.

The 50 basis point shift and 25 basis point change in slope of the LIBOR yield curve used for our PMVS measures

represent events that are expected to have an approximately 5 percent probability of occurring over a one-month time
horizon. We believe that our PMVS measures represent conservative measures of interest-rate risk because these assumed
scenarios are unlikely, and because the scenarios assume instantaneous shocks, therefore these PMVS measures do not
consider the eÅects on fair value of any rebalancing actions that we would typically take to reduce our risk exposure.

The expected loss in portfolio market value, which is the numerator in the fraction used to calculate the PMVS
percentages, is an estimate of the sensitivity to changes in interest rates of the fair value of all interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities and derivatives on a pre-tax basis. When we calculate the expected loss in portfolio market value
and duration gap, we also take into account the cash Öows related to certain credit guarantee-related items, including net
buy-ups and expected gains or losses due to net interest from Öoat. In making these calculations, we do not consider the
sensitivity to interest-rate changes of the following assets and liabilities:

‚ Credit guarantee portfolio. We do not consider the sensitivity of the fair value of the credit guarantee portfolio to
changes in interest rates except for the guarantee-related items mentioned above (i.e., net buy-ups and Öoat),
because we believe the expected beneÑts from replacement business provide an adequate hedge against interest-rate
changes.

‚ Other assets with minimal interest-rate sensitivity. We do not include other assets, primarily non-Ñnancial

instruments such as Ñxed assets and REO, because of the minimal impact they would have on both PMVS and
duration gap.

These two categories of assets and liabilities are included in our estimate of the after-tax fair value of net assets
attributable to common stockholders, which is the denominator of the fraction used to calculate the PMVS-L and
PMVS-YC percentages.

PMVS Results. Table 34 provides estimated point-in-time PMVS-L and PMVS-YC results at December 31, 2006
and 2005. Table 34 also provides PMVS-L estimates assuming an immediate 100 basis point shift in the LIBOR yield curve.
Because we do not hedge all prepayment option risk, the duration of our mortgage assets changes more rapidly as changes
in interest rates increase. Accordingly, as shown in Table 34, the PMVS-L results based on a 100 basis point shift in the
LIBOR curve are disproportionately higher than the PMVS-L results based on a 50 basis point shift in the LIBOR curve.

Derivatives have enabled us to keep our interest-rate risk exposure at consistently low levels in a wide range of interest-
rate environments. By keeping PMVS-L and PMVS-YC low, we have been able to reduce the exposure of the fair value of
our stockholders' equity to adverse changes in interest rates.

Table 35 shows that the low PMVS-L risk levels for the periods presented would generally have been higher if we had

not used derivatives to manage our interest-rate risk exposure.

Use of Derivatives and Interest-Rate Risk Management
Use of Derivatives. We use derivatives primarily to:
‚ hedge forecasted issuances of debt and synthetically create callable and non-callable funding;
‚ regularly  adjust  or  rebalance  our  funding  mix  in  order  to  more  closely  match  changes  in  the  interest-rate

characteristics of our mortgage assets; and

‚ hedge foreign-currency exposure (see ""Sources of Interest-Rate Risk and Other Market Risks Ì Foreign-Currency

Risk.'')

Hedge Forecasted Debt Issuances and Create Synthetic Funding. We typically commit to purchase mortgage
investments on an opportunistic basis for a future settlement, typically ranging from two weeks to three months after the date
of the commitment. To facilitate larger and more predictable debt issuances that contribute to lower funding costs, we use
interest-rate derivatives to economically hedge the interest-rate risk exposure from the time we commit to purchase a
mortgage to the time the related debt is issued. We also use derivatives to synthetically create the substantive economic
equivalent of various debt funding structures. For example, the combination of a series of short-term debt issuances over a
deÑned longer-term period and a pay-Ñxed swap with the same maturity as the last issuance is the substantive economic
equivalent of a long-term Ñxed-rate debt instrument of comparable maturity. Similarly, the combination of non-callable debt
and a call swaption, or option to enter into a receive-Ñxed swap, with the same maturity as the non-callable debt, is the
substantive economic equivalent of callable debt. These derivatives strategies increase our funding Öexibility and allow us to
better match asset and liability cash Öows, often reducing overall funding costs.

Adjust Funding Mix. We generally use interest-rate swaps to mitigate contractual funding mismatches between our
assets and liabilities. We also use swaptions and other option-based derivatives to adjust the contractual funding of our debt
in response to changes in the expected lives of mortgage-related assets in the Retained portfolio. As market conditions
dictate, we take rebalancing actions to keep our interest-rate risk exposure within management-set limits. In a declining
interest-rate environment, we typically enter into receive-Ñxed swaps or purchase Treasury-based derivatives to shorten the
duration of our funding to oÅset the declining duration of our mortgage assets. In a rising interest-rate environment, we
typically enter into pay-Ñxed swaps or sell Treasury-based derivatives in order to lengthen the duration of our funding to
oÅset the increasing duration of our mortgage assets.

Types of Derivatives. The derivatives we use to hedge interest-rate and foreign-currency risk are common in the

Ñnancial markets. We principally use the following types of derivatives:

‚ LIBOR- and Euribor-based interest-rate swaps;
‚ LIBOR- and Treasury-based exchange-traded futures;
‚ LIBOR- and Treasury-based options (including swaptions); and
‚ Foreign-currency swaps.

In addition to swaps, futures and options, our derivative positions include the following:

Forward Purchase and Sale Commitments. We routinely enter into forward purchase and sale commitments for
mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities. Most of these commitments are derivatives subject to the requirements of
SFAS 133.

Swap Guarantee Derivatives. We guarantee the payment of principal and interest on (a) multifamily mortgage loans

that are originated and held by state and municipal housing Ñnance agencies to support tax-exempt multifamily housing
revenue bonds, (b) tax-exempt multifamily housing revenue bonds that support pass-through certiÑcates issued by third
parties and (c) Freddie Mac pass-through certiÑcates which are backed by tax-exempt multifamily housing revenue bonds
and related taxable bonds and/or loans. In connection with some of these guarantees, we may also guarantee the sponsor's or

the borrower's performance as a counterparty on any related interest-rate swaps used to mitigate interest-rate risk.
Guarantees of these interest-rate swaps entered into after June 30, 2003 are treated as derivatives and are reported as swap
guarantee derivatives.

Derivative-Related Risks

Our use of derivatives exposes us to derivative market liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk.

Derivative Market Liquidity Risk. Derivative market liquidity risk is the risk that we may not be able to enter into or

exit out of derivative transactions at a reasonable cost. A lack of suÇcient capacity or liquidity in the derivatives market
could limit our risk management activities, increasing our exposure to interest-rate risk. To help maintain continuous access
to derivative markets, we use a variety of products and transact with many diÅerent derivative counterparties. In addition to
over-the-counter, or OTC, derivatives, we also use exchange-traded derivatives, asset securitization activities, callable debt
and short-term debt to rebalance our portfolio.

We limit our duration and convexity exposure to each counterparty. At December 31, 2006, the largest single
uncollateralized exposure of our 27 approved OTC counterparties listed in ""Table 36 Ì Derivative Counterparty Credit
Exposure'' was related to a AAA-rated counterparty, constituting $403 million, or 60 percent, of the total uncollateralized
exposure of our OTC interest-rate swaps, option-based derivatives and foreign-currency swaps.

Derivative  Counterparty  Credit  Risk. Counterparty  credit  risk  arises  from  the  possibility  that  the  derivative
counterparty will not be able to meet its contractual obligations. Exchange-traded derivatives, such as futures contracts, do
not measurably increase our counterparty credit risk because changes in the value of open exchange-traded contracts are
settled daily through a Ñnancial clearinghouse established by each exchange. OTC derivatives, however, expose us to
counterparty credit risk because transactions are executed and settled between us and the counterparty. When an OTC
derivative has a market value above zero at a given date (i.e., it is an asset reported as Derivative assets, at fair value on our
consolidated  balance  sheets),  then  the  counterparty  could  potentially  be  obligated  to  deliver  cash,  securities  or  a
combination of both having that market value to satisfy its obligation to us under the derivative.

We actively manage our exposure to counterparty credit risk using several tools, including:

‚ review of external rating analyses;

‚ strict standards for approving new derivative counterparties;

‚ ongoing monitoring of our positions with each counterparty;

‚ master netting agreements and collateral agreements; and

‚ stress-testing to evaluate potential exposure under possible adverse market scenarios.

On an ongoing basis, we review the credit fundamentals of all of our derivative counterparties to conÑrm that they

continue to meet our internal standards. We assign internal ratings, credit capital and exposure limits to each counterparty
based on quantitative and qualitative analysis, which we update and monitor on a regular basis. We conduct additional
reviews when market conditions dictate or events aÅecting an individual counterparty occur.

Derivative Counterparties. Our use of OTC interest-rate swaps, option-based derivatives and foreign-currency swaps is
subject to rigorous internal credit and legal reviews. Our derivative counterparties carry external credit ratings among the
highest available from major rating agencies. All of these counterparties are major Ñnancial institutions and are experienced
participants in the OTC derivatives market.

Master Netting and Collateral Agreements. We use master netting and collateral agreements to reduce our credit risk
exposure to our active OTC derivative counterparties for interest-rate swaps, option-based derivatives and foreign-currency
swaps. See ""NOTE 17: CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT AND OTHER RISKS'' to our consolidated Ñnancial
statements for additional information.

Table 36 summarizes our exposure to counterparty credit risk in our derivatives, which represents the net positive fair
value of derivative contracts and related accrued interest after netting by counterparty as applicable (i.e., net amounts due to
us under derivative contracts). This table is useful in understanding the counterparty credit risk related to our derivative
portfolio.

(1) We use the lower of S&P and Moody's ratings to manage collateral requirements. In this table, the rating of the legal entity is stated in terms of the

S&P equivalent.

(2) Based on legal entities. AÇliated legal entities are reported separately.
(3) For each counterparty, this amount includes derivatives with a net positive fair value (recorded as Derivative assets, at fair value), including the related

accrued interest receivable/payable (net) (recorded in Accounts and other receivables, net or Accrued interest payable).

(4) Total Exposure at Fair Value less collateral held as determined at the counterparty level.
(5) Consists of OTC derivative agreements for interest-rate swaps, option-based derivatives (excluding written options), foreign-currency swaps and

purchased interest-rate caps. Written options do not present counterparty credit exposure, because we receive a one-time up-front premium in
exchange for giving the holder the right to execute a contract under speciÑed terms, which generally puts us in a liability position.

(6) Consists primarily of exchange-traded contracts and written options.

Over time, our exposure to individual counterparties for OTC interest-rate swaps, option-based derivatives and foreign-
currency swaps varies depending on changes in fair values, which are aÅected by changes in period-end interest rates, the
implied volatility of interest rates, foreign-currency exchange rates and the amount of derivatives held. Our uncollateralized
exposure to counterparties for these derivatives, after applying netting agreements and collateral, increased to $672 million
at December 31, 2006 from $190 million at December 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to a signiÑcant increase in
uncollateralized exposure to AAA-rated counterparties, which typically are not required to post collateral given their low
risk proÑle.

At  December  31,  2006,  the  uncollateralized  exposure  to  non-AAA-rated  counterparties  was  primarily  due  to
uncollateralized exposure below the applicable counterparty collateral posting threshold as well as market movements during
the time period between when a derivative was marked to fair value and the date we received the related collateral.
Collateral is typically transferred within one business day based on the values of the related derivatives.

As indicated in Table 36, approximately 93 percent of our counterparty credit exposure for OTC interest-rate swaps,
option-based derivatives and foreign-currency swaps was collateralized at December 31, 2006. If all of our counterparties
for these derivatives had defaulted simultaneously on December 31, 2006, our maximum loss for accounting purposes
would have been approximately $672 million. Our economic loss, as measured by our potential additional uncollateralized
exposure, may be higher than the uncollateralized exposure of our derivatives if we were not able to replace the defaulted
derivatives in a timely fashion. We monitor the risk that our uncollateralized exposure to each of our OTC counterparties
for interest-rate swaps, option-based derivatives and foreign-currency swaps will increase under certain adverse market

65

Freddie Mac

conditions by performing daily market stress tests. These tests evaluate the potential additional uncollateralized exposure we
would have to each of these derivative counterparties assuming changes in the level and implied volatility of interest rates
and changes in foreign-currency exchange rates over a brief time period.

To date, we have not incurred any credit losses on OTC derivative counterparties or set aside speciÑc reserves for

institutional credit risk exposure. We do not believe such reserves are necessary, given our counterparty credit risk
management policies and collateral requirements.

OTC Forward Purchase and Sale Commitments Treated as Derivatives. Because the typical maturity of our OTC

commitments is less than one year, we do not require master netting and collateral agreements for the counterparties of these
commitments. However, we monitor the credit fundamentals of our OTC commitments counterparties on an ongoing basis
to ensure that they continue to meet our internal risk-management standards. As indicated in Table 36, the exposure to
OTC commitments counterparties of $24 million and $35 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, was
uncollateralized.

Credit Risks

Our credit guarantee portfolio is subject primarily to two types of credit risk: mortgage credit risk and institutional credit
risk. Mortgage credit risk is the risk that a borrower will fail to make timely payments on a mortgage or security we own or
guarantee. Institutional credit risk is the risk that a counterparty that has entered into a business contract or arrangement
with us will fail to meet its obligations. See ""PORTFOLIO BALANCES AND ACTIVITIES Ì Table 47 Ì Total
Mortgage Portfolio and Total Guaranteed PCs and Structured Securities Issued Based on Unpaid Principal Balances'' for
more information on the composition of our Total mortgage portfolio.

Mortgage Credit Risk
Mortgage Credit Risk Management Strategies. Mortgage credit risk is primarily inÖuenced by the credit proÑle of the
borrower on the mortgage, the features of the mortgage itself, the type of property securing the mortgage and the general
economy. To manage our mortgage credit risk, we focus on three key areas: underwriting requirements and quality control
standards; portfolio diversiÑcation; and portfolio management activities, including loss mitigation and the use of credit
enhancements. While we have historically focused on obtaining credit enhancements at the time of mortgage purchase, we
are continuing to expand our capabilities in this area to allow more active and ongoing credit portfolio rebalancing and risk
transfers.

Underwriting Requirements and Quality Control Standards. All mortgages that we purchase for our Retained
portfolio or guarantee have an inherent risk of default. We seek to manage the underlying risk by adequately pricing for the
risk we assume using our underwriting and quality control processes.

We use a process of delegated underwriting for the single-family mortgages we purchase or securitize. In this process,
we provide originators with a series of mortgage underwriting standards and the originators represent and warrant to us that
the mortgages sold to us meet these requirements. We subsequently review a sample of these loans and, if we determine
that any loan is not in compliance with our contractual standards, we may require the seller/servicer to repurchase that
mortgage or make us whole in the event of a default. We provide originators with written standards and/or automated
underwriting software tools, such as Loan Prospector» and other quantitative credit risk management tools that are designed
to evaluate single-family mortgages and monitor the related mortgage credit risk for loans we may purchase. Loan
Prospector» generates a credit risk classiÑcation by evaluating information on signiÑcant indicators of mortgage default risk,
such as loan-to-value ratios, credit scores and other mortgage and borrower characteristics. These statistically-based risk
assessment tools increase our ability to distinguish among single-family loans based on their expected risk, return and
importance to our mission. In many cases, underwriting standards are tailored under contracts with individual customers. We
have been expanding the share of mortgages we purchase that were underwritten by our seller/servicers using alternative
automated underwriting systems or agreed-upon underwriting standards that diÅer from our system or guidelines. We
regularly monitor the performance of mortgages purchased using these systems and standards, and if they underperform
mortgages originated using Loan Prospector», we may seek additional guarantee fee compensation for future purchases of
similar mortgages.

The percentage of our single-family mortgage purchase volume evaluated using Loan Prospector» prior to purchase has
declined over the last three years. As part of our post-purchase quality control review process, we use Loan Prospector» to
evaluate the credit quality of virtually all single-family mortgages that were not evaluated by Loan Prospector» prior to
purchase. Loan Prospector» risk classiÑcations inÖuence both the price we charge to guarantee loans and the loans we review
in quality control.

For multifamily mortgage loans, we use an intensive pre-purchase underwriting process for the mortgages we purchase,
unless the mortgage loans have signiÑcant credit enhancements. Our underwriting process includes assessments of the local

66

Freddie Mac

market,  the  borrower,  the  property  manager,  the  property's  historical  and  projected  Ñnancial  performance  and  the
property's physical condition, which may include a physical inspection of the property. In addition to our own inspections, we
rely on third-party appraisals and environmental and engineering reports. Beginning in 2007, we also expect to begin a
program of delegated underwriting for certain multifamily mortgages we purchase or securitize.

Credit Enhancements. Our charter requires that single-family mortgages with loan-to-value ratios above 80 percent at

the time of purchase must be covered by one or more of the following: (a) primary mortgage insurance; (b) a seller's
agreement to repurchase or replace any mortgage in default (for such period and under such circumstances as we may
require); or (c) retention by the seller of at least a 10 percent participation interest in the mortgages. In addition, for some
mortgage loans, we elect to share the default risk by transferring a portion of that risk to various third parties through a
variety of other credit enhancements. In many cases, the lender's or third party's risk is limited to a speciÑc level of losses at
the time the credit enhancement becomes eÅective.

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, credit-enhanced single-family mortgages and mortgage-related securities represented
approximately 16 percent and 17 percent of the $1,541 billion and $1,395 billion, respectively, unpaid principal balance of
the Total mortgage portfolio, excluding non-Freddie Mac mortgage-related securities and that portion of issued Structured
Securities that is backed by Ginnie Mae CertiÑcates. We exclude non-Freddie Mac mortgage-related securities because
they expose us primarily to institutional credit risk. We exclude that portion of Structured Securities backed by Ginnie Mae
CertiÑcates because the incremental credit risk to which we are exposed is considered de minimis. See ""CONSOLI-
DATED BALANCE SHEETS ANALYSIS Ì Table 19 Ì Characteristics of Mortgage Loans and Mortgage-Related
Securities in the Retained Portfolio'' for additional information about our non-Freddie Mac mortgage-related securities. Our
ability and desire to expand or reduce the portion of our Total mortgage portfolio with credit enhancements will depend on
our evaluation of the credit quality of new business purchase opportunities, the risk proÑle of our portfolio and the future
availability of eÅective credit enhancements at prices that permit an attractive return. While the use of credit enhancements
reduces our exposure to mortgage credit risk, it increases our exposure to institutional credit risk.

Primary mortgage insurance is the most prevalent type of credit enhancement protecting our Total mortgage portfolio

and is typically provided on a loan-level basis for certain single-family mortgages. Primary mortgage insurance transfers
varying portions of the credit risk associated with a mortgage to a third-party insurer. The amount of insurance we obtain on
any mortgage depends on our requirements and on our assessment of risk. We may from time to time agree with the insurer
to reduce the amount of coverage that is in excess of our charter's minimum requirement and may also furnish certain
services to the insurer in exchange for fees paid by the insurer. As is the case with credit enhancement agreements generally,
these agreements often improve the overall value of purchased mortgages and thus may allow us to oÅer lower guarantee
fees to sellers.

The second most prevalent type of credit enhancement that we use is pool insurance. Pool insurance provides insurance
on a pool of loans up to a stated aggregate loss limit. In addition to a pool-level loss coverage limit, some pool insurance
contracts may have limits on coverage at the loan level. For pool insurance contracts that expire before the completion of
the contractual term of the mortgage loan, we seek to ensure that the contracts cover the period of time during which we
believe the mortgage loans are most likely to default.

As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, in connection with PCs and Structured Securities backed by single-family
mortgage loans, we had maximum coverage totaling $30.7 billion and $27.5 billion, respectively, in primary mortgage
insurance. Other forms of credit enhancements on single-family mortgage loans include indemniÑcation agreements (under
which we may require a lender to reimburse us for credit losses realized on mortgages), government guarantees, collateral
(including cash or high-quality marketable securities) pledged by a lender, excess interest and subordinated security
structures. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, in connection with PCs and Structured Securities backed by single-family
mortgage loans, we had maximum coverage totaling $8.9 billion and $5.6 billion, respectively, in recourse to lenders and
$3.2 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively, in other credit enhancements.

We occasionally use credit enhancements to mitigate risk on multifamily mortgages. The types of credit enhancements
used for multifamily mortgage loans include recourse, third-party guarantees or letters of credit, cash escrows, subordinated
participations  in  mortgage  loans  or  structured  pools,  sharing  of  losses  with  sellers,  and  cross-default  and  cross-
collateralization provisions. Cross-default and cross-collateralization provisions typically work in tandem. With a cross-
default provision, if the loan on a property goes into default, we have the right to declare speciÑed other mortgage loans of the
same borrower or certain of its aÇliates to be in default and to foreclose those other mortgages. In cases where the borrower
agrees to cross-collateralization, we have the additional right to apply excess proceeds from the foreclosure of one mortgage
to amounts owed to us by the same borrower or its speciÑed aÇliates relating to other multifamily mortgage loans we own.
We also receive similar credit enhancements for multifamily PC Guarantor Swaps; for tax-exempt multifamily housing
revenue bonds that support pass-through certiÑcates issued by third parties for which we provide our guarantee of the

67

Freddie Mac

payment of principal and interest; for Freddie Mac pass-through certiÑcates that are backed by tax-exempt multifamily
housing revenue bonds and related taxable bonds and/or loans; and for multifamily mortgage loans that are originated and
held by state and municipal agencies to support tax-exempt multifamily housing revenue bonds for which we provide our
guarantee of the payment of principal and interest.

Portfolio DiversiÑcation. A key characteristic of our credit risk portfolio is diversiÑcation along a number of critical
risk dimensions. We continually monitor a variety of mortgage loan characteristics such as product mix, loan-to-value ratios
and geographic concentrations, which may aÅect the default experience on our overall mortgage portfolio. As part of our
risk management practices, we have adopted a set of limits on our purchases and holdings of certain types of newer
nontraditional mortgage products that are deemed to have higher risks or lack suÇcient historical experience to conÑdently
forecast performance expectations over a full housing cycle. These newer loan products include interest-only loans and
option  ARMs,
loans  with  high  loan-to-value  ratios,  and  mortgages  originated  with  limited  or  no  underwriting
documentation.

To improve our ability to fulÑll our mission, we have increased our participation in nontraditional mortgage market

products. To that end, we issue Structured Securities backed by mortgage loans or mortgage-related securities using
collateral pools transferred to trusts that were speciÑcally created for the purpose of issuing the securities. These trusts issue
various senior interests, subordinated interests or both. We purchase senior interests of the trusts and simultaneously issue
and guarantee Structured Securities backed by these interests. We refer to these Structured Securities as Structured
Transactions. Although Structured Transactions generally have underlying mortgage loans with higher risk characteristics,
they may aÅord us credit protection from losses due to the structure employed and other credit enhancement features.

Product mix aÅects the credit risk proÑle of our Total mortgage portfolio. In general, 15-year amortizing Ñxed-rate

mortgages exhibit the lowest default rate among the types of mortgage loans we securitize and purchase, due to the
accelerated rate of principal amortization on these mortgages and the credit proÑles of borrowers who seek and qualify for
them. The next lowest rate of default is associated with 30-year amortizing Ñxed-rate mortgages. In a rising interest
environment, balloon/reset mortgages and ARMs typically default at a higher rate than Ñxed-rate mortgages, although
default rates for diÅerent types of ARMs may vary. In the low interest rate environment experienced during 2006, 2005 and
2004, this trend was reversed with ARMs exhibiting lower default rates than Ñxed-rate mortgages. Table 37 provides the
distribution of our Total mortgage portfolio.

During the past several years, there was a rapid proliferation of nontraditional mortgage product types designed to

address a variety of borrower and lender needs, including issues of aÅordability and reduced income documentation
requirements. While features of these products have been on the market for some time, their prevalence in the market and
our Total mortgage portfolio increased in 2006 and 2005. See ""REGULATION AND SUPERVISION Ì OÇce of
Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight Ì Nontraditional Mortgage Product Risks'' and ""RISK FACTORS Ì Legal and
Regulatory Risks.'' We expect each of these products to default more often than traditional products and we consider this
when determining our credit and guarantee fees. Our purchases of interest-only and option ARM mortgage products
increased in 2006, representing approximately 18 percent of our Total mortgage portfolio purchases as compared to
11 percent in 2005. Despite this recent increase in purchases, these products represent a small percentage of the unpaid
principal balance of our Total mortgage portfolio. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, interest-only and option ARMs
collectively represented approximately 6 percent and 3 percent, respectively, of the unpaid principal balance of the Total
mortgage portfolio. We will continue to monitor the growth of these products in our portfolio and, if appropriate, may seek
credit enhancements to further manage the incremental risk.

Interest-only and option ARM loans. These mortgages are designed to allow borrowers to have Öexibility in their
payment terms. Interest-only mortgages allow the borrower to pay only interest for a Ñxed period of time before the loan
begins to amortize. Option ARM loans permit a variety of repayment options, which include minimum, interest only, fully
amortizing 30-year and fully amortizing 15-year payments. Minimum payment option loans allow the borrower to make
monthly  payments  that  are  less  than  the  interest  accrued  for  the  period.  The  unpaid  interest,  known  as  negative
amortization, is added to the principal balance of the loan, which increases the outstanding loan balance. The amount of
option ARM mortgages within our Total mortgage portfolio was 1 percent for both 2006 and 2005 and the amount of related
negative amortization in both years was not material.

We also hold securities issued by third parties where the underlying collateral may include interest-only and option

ARM mortgage products. Delinquencies on total interest-only and option ARM products increased to 0.41 percent in 2006
from 0.08 percent in 2005. Mortgages generally have a lower rate of delinquency in the year in which they are originated.
We generally mitigate credit risk inherent in these securities through a guarantee from the third party issuer or the
underlying structure of the security. For additional information about the credit quality and credit risk management of non-
Freddie Mac securities we hold see ""Institutional Credit Risk Ì Non-Freddie Mac Mortgage-Related Securities'' and
""CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS ANALYSIS Ì Retained Portfolio.''

Subprime loans. Participants in the mortgage market often characterize loans based upon their overall credit quality
at the time of origination, generally considering them to be prime or subprime. There is no universally accepted deÑnition of
subprime. The subprime segment of the mortgage market primarily serves borrowers with poorer credit payment histories
and such loans typically have a mix of credit characteristics that indicate a higher likelihood of default and higher loss
severities than prime loans. Such characteristics might include a combination of high loan-to-value ratios, low FICO scores
or originations using lower underwriting standards such as limited or no documentation of a borrower's income. The
subprime market helps certain borrowers by increasing the availability of mortgage credit.

While we do not characterize the single-family loans underlying the PCs and Structured Securities in our credit
guarantee portfolio as either prime or subprime, we believe that, based on lender-type, underwriting practice and product
structure, the number of loans underlying these securities that are subprime is not signiÑcant. Also included in our credit
guarantee portfolio are Structured Securities backed by non-agency mortgage-related securities where the underlying
collateral was identiÑed as being subprime by the original issuer. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Structured Securities
backed by subprime mortgages constituted approximately 0.1 percent and 0.2 percent, respectively of our credit guarantee
portfolio.

With respect to our Retained portfolio, we do not believe that any meaningful amount of the agency securities we hold is

backed by subprime mortgages. However, at December 31, 2006 and 2005, we held approximately $124 billion and
$139 billion, respectively, of non-agency mortgage-related securities backed by subprime loans. These securities include
signiÑcant credit enhancement based on their structure and more than 99.9 percent of these securities were rated AAA at
December 31, 2006.

We announced on February 27, 2007 that we would implement stricter investment standards for certain subprime

ARMs with short adjustment periods originated after September 1, 2007. First, we will only buy ARMs, and mortgage-
related securities backed by those loans, for which borrowers have been qualiÑed at the fully-indexed and fully-amortizing
rate in order to help protect these borrowers from the payment shock that could occur when the interest rates on their
ARMs increase. Second, we will limit the use of low-documentation underwriting for these types of mortgages to help
ensure that borrowers have the income necessary to aÅord their homes.

(1) Purchases and ending balances are based on the unpaid principal balance of the single-family mortgage portfolio (excluding certain Structured Securities that
are backed by non-Freddie Mac mortgage-related securities). Such purchases included in the data totaled $358 billion, $396 billion and $360 billion at
December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Such ending balances included in the data totaled $1,482 billion, $1,333 billion and $1,203 billion at
December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

(2) Our charter requires that mortgage loans purchased with loan-to-value ratios above 80 percent be covered by mortgage insurance or other credit enhancements.
(3) Current market values are estimated by adjusting the value of the property at origination based on changes in the market value of homes since origination.
Estimated current LTV excludes Structured Transactions and option ARMs. Estimated current LTV ratio range is not applicable to purchases made during
the year.

(4) 2005 and 2004 ratios have been revised to conform to the current year presentation.
(5) Credit score data are as of mortgage loan origination.

Loan-to-Value Ratios. An important safeguard against credit losses for mortgage loans in our single-family, non-
credit-enhanced portfolio is provided by the borrowers' equity in the underlying properties. Mortgage loans with higher loan-
to-value ratios (and therefore lower levels of borrower equity) at the time of purchase are also protected by credit
enhancements, because our charter requires that loans with loan-to-value ratios above 80 percent at the time of purchase be
covered by mortgage insurance or certain other credit protections.

The likelihood of single-family mortgage default depends not only on the initial credit quality of the loan, but also on
events that occur after origination. Accordingly, we monitor changes in home prices across the country and the impact of

70

Freddie Mac

these home price changes on the underlying loan-to-value ratio of mortgages in our portfolio. While home prices rose
signiÑcantly over the previous 10 years, this growth has slowed signiÑcantly in 2006 and home prices have declined in some
parts of the United States. Home price appreciation over the past several years has increased the values of properties
underlying the mortgages in our portfolio. We monitor regional geographic markets for changes in these trends, particularly
with respect to new loans originated in regional markets that have had signiÑcant home price appreciation, and we may seek
to reinsure a portion of this risk should we determine that the possibility of such changes warrants action. Historical
experience has shown that defaults are less likely to occur on mortgages with lower estimated current loan-to-value ratios. In
the event of a default, lower loan-to-value ratios generally reduce the total amount of loss, thereby mitigating credit losses.

Credit Score. Credit scores are a useful measure for assessing the credit quality of a borrower. Credit scores are
numbers reported by credit repositories, based on statistical models, that summarize an individual's credit record and predict
the likelihood that a borrower will repay future obligations as expected. FICO» scores, developed by Fair, Isaac and Co.,
Inc., are the most commonly used credit scores today. FICO» scores are ranked on a scale of approximately 300 to
850 points. Statistically, consumers with higher credit scores are more likely to repay their debts as expected than those with
lower scores. At December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the weighted average credit score for the Total mortgage portfolio
(based on the credit score at origination) remained high at 725, 725 and 723, respectively, indicating borrowers with strong
credit quality.

Loan Purpose. Mortgage loan purpose indicates how the borrower intends to use the funds from a mortgage loan. The
three general categories are: purchase, cash-out reÑnance and other reÑnance. In a purchase transaction, funds are used to
acquire a property. In a cash-out reÑnance transaction, in addition to paying oÅ an existing Ñrst mortgage lien, the borrower
obtains additional funds that may be used for other purposes, including paying oÅ subordinate mortgage liens and providing
unrestricted cash proceeds to the borrower. In other reÑnance transactions, the funds are used to pay oÅ an existing Ñrst
mortgage lien and may be used in limited amounts for certain speciÑed purposes; such reÑnances are generally referred to as
""no cash-out'' or ""rate and term'' reÑnances. Other reÑnance transactions also include reÑnance mortgages for which the
delivery data provided was not suÇcient for us to determine whether the mortgage was a cash-out or a no cash-out reÑnance
transaction. The portion of our single-family mortgage purchases that were reÑnance-related declined in 2006 as interest
rates increased during the year. Given similar loan characteristics (e.g., loan-to-value ratios), purchase transactions have the
lowest likelihood of default followed by no cash-out reÑnances and then cash-out reÑnances. As a practical matter, however,
no cash-out reÑnances tend to have lower loan-to-value ratios, borrowers with higher credit scores and better overall
performance than purchase transactions.

Property Type. Single-family mortgage loans are deÑned as mortgages secured by housing with up to four living units.

Mortgages on one-unit properties tend to have lower credit risk than mortgages on multiple-unit properties.

Occupancy Type. Borrowers may purchase a home as a primary residence, second/vacation home or investment
property that is typically a rental property. Mortgage loans on properties occupied by the borrower as a primary or secondary
residence tend to have a lower credit risk than mortgages on investment properties.

Geographic Concentration. Because our business involves purchasing mortgages from every geographic region in the

U.S., we maintain a geographically diverse mortgage portfolio. This diversiÑcation generally mitigates credit risks arising
from changing local economic conditions. Our Total mortgage portfolio's geographic distribution was relatively stable from
2004 to 2006, and remains broadly diversiÑed across these regions. See ""NOTE 17: CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT
AND OTHER RISKS'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements for more information concerning the distribution of our
Total mortgage portfolio by geographic region.

Loss Mitigation Activities. Loss mitigation activities are a key component of our strategy for managing and resolving

troubled assets and lowering credit losses. Our single-family loss mitigation strategy emphasizes early intervention in
delinquent mortgages and providing alternatives to foreclosure. Other single-family loss mitigation activities include
providing our single-family servicers with default management tools designed to help them manage non-performing loans
more eÅectively and support fulÑllment of our mission by assisting borrowers in retaining home ownership. Foreclosure
alternatives are intended to reduce the number of delinquent mortgages that proceed to foreclosure and, ultimately, mitigate
our total credit losses by eliminating a portion of the costs related to foreclosed properties and avoiding the credit loss in
REO. Repayment plans, the most common type of foreclosure alternative, mitigate our credit losses because they assist
borrowers in returning to compliance with the original terms of their mortgages. Forbearance agreements, the second most
common type of foreclosure alternative, provide a temporary suspension of the foreclosure process to allow additional time
for the borrower to return to compliance with the original terms of the borrower's mortgage or to implement another
foreclosure alternative. Loan modiÑcations, the third most common type of foreclosure alternative, involve changing the
terms of a mortgage, such as the loan term. The total number of loans with foreclosure alternatives was approximately
59,100, 60,000 and 48,300 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In 2005, the total number of

71

Freddie Mac

loans with foreclosure alternatives increased as forbearance agreements were extended to single-family borrowers aÅected
by Hurricane Katrina in an eÅort to mitigate the risk of default and foreclosure and assist impacted borrowers. In 2006, the
number of loans with foreclosure alternatives declined slightly as loans previously subject to forbearance either resumed
payments, paid-oÅ or defaulted. However, the number of loans with foreclosure alternatives in the North Central region of
the U.S., which has been adversely aÅected by a downturn in the automotive industry, increased.

We require multifamily seller/servicers to closely manage mortgage loans they have sold us in order to mitigate
potential losses. For loans over $1 million, servicers must generally submit an annual assessment of the mortgaged property
to us based on the servicer's analysis of Ñnancial and other information about the property and, except for certain higher
performing loans, an inspection of the property. We evaluate these assessments internally and may direct the servicer to
take speciÑc actions to reduce the likelihood of delinquency or default. If a loan defaults despite this intervention, we may
oÅer a foreclosure alternative to the borrower. For example, we may modify the terms of a multifamily mortgage loan,
which gives the borrower an opportunity to bring the loan current and retain ownership of the property. Because multifamily
seller/servicers are an important part of our loss mitigation process, we rate their performance regularly and conduct on-site
reviews of their servicing operations to conÑrm compliance with our standards.

Within our Total mortgage portfolio, our pricing reÖects our expectation that some mortgage loans will become non-

performing due to changes in general economic conditions, the Ñnancial status of individual borrowers or other factors.

(1) Includes previously delinquent loans whose terms have been modiÑed.
(2) Includes single-family loans 90 days or more delinquent. We fully reserve current period accruals for mortgages greater than 120 days delinquent. For

serious delinquencies in restructurings, we also fully reserve all uncollected interest after a mortgage becomes 90 days delinquent.

(3) Includes single-family loans 90 days or more delinquent and not in troubled debt restructurings. For multifamily loans, the population includes all loans
60 days or more delinquent but less than 90 days delinquent. Also included are multifamily loans greater than 90 days past due but where principal and
interest are being paid to us under the terms of a credit enhancement agreement. For more information about delinquency rates, see ""Table 6.3 Ì
Delinquency Performance'' in ""NOTE 6: LOAN LOSS RESERVES'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements.

(4) Non-accrual mortgage loans are loans for which interest income is recognized only on a cash basis and only include multifamily loans that are 90 days

or more delinquent. No single-family mortgage loans in our Retained portfolio are classiÑed as non-accrual, since we generally begin establishing
reserves for current accruals after 90 days delinquency.

(5) For the year ended December 31, 2006, $481 million was included in Net interest income and Management and guarantee income related to these
mortgage loans. The amount of forgone net interest income and additional management and guarantee income that we would have recorded had these
loans been current is $34 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.

(6) For more information about REO balances, see ""NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES'' and ""NOTE 7: REAL

ESTATE OWNED'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements.

(7) Detail of other serious delinquencies is not available for 2004, 2003 and 2002.
(8) Includes mortgages greater than 90 days, but generally less than 120 days, delinquent. Once a loan is delinquent for 120 days it is generally repurchased

out of the security and becomes part of our Retained portfolio.

(9) Consists of mortgages 90 days or more delinquent that underlie the non-agency securities that back our Structured Transactions.

Total non-performing assets declined during 2006 as many of the mortgages aÅected by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 have
resumed payments following the forbearance period we oÅered and others were modiÑed from their original terms to help
borrowers avoid foreclosure. Many of these loans were reported as serious delinquencies at the end of 2005, but have been
reclassiÑed to troubled debt restructuring in 2006, as a result of loss mitigation activities. In addition, the increase in the
REO balance is attributable to lower turnover caused by slower disposition of properties in the North Central region as well
as an increase in market values of the new REO inventory due to appreciation in all regions over the last few years. The
increase in troubled debt restructurings and serious delinquencies from 2004 to 2005 was in part a result of the eÅects of
Hurricane Katrina as well as increases in the North Central region.

Other Credit Risk Management Activities. To compensate us for unusual levels of risk in some mortgage products, we
may charge incremental fees above a base guarantee fee calculated based on credit risk factors such as the mortgage product
type, loan purpose, loan-to-value ratio, and other loan or borrower attributes. In addition, we occasionally use Ñnancial
incentives and credit derivatives, as described below, in situations where we believe they will beneÑt our credit risk
management strategy. These arrangements are intended to reduce our credit-related expenses, thereby improving our overall
returns.

In some cases, we provide Ñnancial incentives in the form of lump sum payments to selected seller/servicers if they
deliver a speciÑed volume or percentage of mortgage loans meeting speciÑed credit risk standards over a deÑned period of
time. These Ñnancial incentives may also take the form of a fee payable to us by the seller if the mortgages delivered to us
do not meet certain credit standards.

We have also entered into credit derivatives, including risk-sharing agreements. Under these risk-sharing agreements,
default losses on speciÑc mortgage loans delivered by sellers are compared to default losses on reference pools of mortgage
loans with similar characteristics. Based upon the results of that comparison, we remit or receive payments based upon the
default performance of the speciÑed mortgage loans. These agreements are accounted for as credit derivatives rather than
Ñnancial guarantees, in part, because we may make payments to the seller/servicer under these agreements (depending upon
actual default experience over the lives of the mortgages). The total notional amount of mortgage loans subject to these
agreements was approximately $1.9 billion and $2.4 billion at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In addition, the
total notional amount of mortgage loans in other credit derivatives was approximately $0.7 billion and $Ì billion at
December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. All credit derivatives were classiÑed as no hedge designation. The fair value of
these credit derivatives was not material at either December 31, 2006 or 2005.

Although these arrangements are part of our overall credit risk management strategy, we have not treated them as credit

enhancements for purposes of describing our Total mortgage portfolio characteristics because the risk-sharing and credit
derivative agreements may result in us making payments to the seller/servicer.

Delinquencies. We report single-family delinquency information based on the number of single-family mortgages that
are 90 days or more past due or in foreclosure. For multifamily loans, we report the delinquency when payment is 60 days or
more past due. Delinquencies on mortgage loans underlying Structured Transactions may be categorized as delinquent on a
diÅerent schedule than other mortgage loans due to variances in industry practice. We include all the single-family loans that
we own and those that are collateral for our PCs and Structured Securities, including those with signiÑcant credit
enhancement, in the calculation of delinquency information; however, we exclude that portion of Structured Securities that
is backed by Ginnie Mae CertiÑcates and certain Structured Transactions where delinquency data on the underlying
mortgage-related securities is not available. The Structured Transactions we have excluded represented 0.06 percent,
0.04 percent and 0.07 percent of our Total mortgage portfolio at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and these
securities were shadow rated AAA at the initial securitization. Shadow ratings are credit assessments performed by a rating
agency at time of origination, but are not published nor subsequently monitored. Multifamily delinquencies may include
mortgage loans where the borrowers are not paying as agreed, but principal and interest are being paid to us under the terms
of a credit enhancement agreement. Table 40 presents delinquency information for the single-family loans underlying our
Total mortgage portfolio.

Our total single-family delinquency rate has declined over the past three years, with some regional variation, reÖecting

generally strong economic conditions and strong, but recently slowing, home price appreciation.

Both our total credit-enhanced and total non-credit-enhanced delinquency rates improved in 2006. Many of the loans in

the Southwest and Southeast regions that were aÅected by Hurricane Katrina, and were delinquent at the end of 2005,
resumed payments following the forbearance period we oÅered and others were modiÑed from their original terms to help
borrowers avoid foreclosure. Excluding the loans aÅected by Hurricane Katrina, our total non-credit-enhanced delinquency
rate at December 31, 2006 was unchanged from December 31, 2005. However, the total non-credit-enhanced delinquency
rate for the North Central region rose in 2006, primarily due to a regional economic downturn.

In addition to the improvement attributable to loans aÅected by Hurricane Katrina, our total credit-enhanced
delinquency rate declined as the number of loans added to the portfolio increased. The delinquency rates on new loans are
generally lower than more seasoned loans and we expect that delinquency rates for these loans will increase as they age.

Our multifamily delinquency rate remained very low at 0.05 percent, zero percent and 0.06 percent at the end of 2006,

2005 and 2004, respectively. Hurricane Katrina has not aÅected our reported multifamily delinquency rate because the
contractual terms of certain aÅected mortgage loans, with unpaid principal balances totaling $149 million at December 31,
2006, were modiÑed.

Our  single-family  portfolio  was  aÅected  by  heavy  reÑnance  volumes  in  recent  years.  At  December  31,  2006,
approximately 58 percent of our single-family mortgage portfolio consisted of mortgage loans originated in 2006, 2005 or
2004. Mortgage loans originated in 2003 and earlier, which represent approximately 42 percent of our single-family mortgage
portfolio, have delinquency rates that are generally higher than the overall portfolio delinquency rate due to the natural
aging of the loans and, in some instances, the weaker credit quality of these loans. The Ñrst year delinquency rate associated
with new originations increased in each of the last three years due to a number of factors, including the expansion of credit
terms under which loans are underwritten and an increase in our purchases of variable-rate and non-traditional mortgage
products that have higher inherent credit risk than traditional Ñxed-rate mortgage products.

(1) Includes 40-year and 20-year Ñxed-rate mortgages.
(2) Credit-enhanced loans are primarily those mortgage loans for which a third party has primary default risk. The total credit-enhanced unpaid principal
balance as of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $266 billion, $253 billion and $248 billion, respectively, for which the maximum coverage of
third party primary liability was $58 billion, $53 billion and $52 billion, respectively.

(3) Structured Transactions generally have underlying mortgage loans with higher risk characteristics but provide inherent credit protection from losses

due to the structure employed, including subordination, excess interest, overcollateralization and other features.

Table 44 and Table 45 provide detail by region for two credit performance statistics, REO activity and charge-oÅs.

Regional REO acquisition and charge-oÅ trends generally follow a pattern that is similar to, but lags, that of regional
delinquency trends. Increases in the volume of REO properties in the North Central region were driven by impacts to
borrowers aÅected by an economic downturn and weakening housing markets within the region.

Single-family charge-oÅs, gross, increased in 2006 primarily due to a modest increase in the volume of REO properties

acquired at foreclosure, as noted in Table 44.

We maintain two loan loss reserves Ì Reserve for losses on mortgage loans held-for-investment and Reserve for
guarantee losses on Participation CertiÑcates Ì at levels we deem adequate to absorb probable incurred losses on mortgage
loans held-for-investment in the Retained portfolio and certain mortgages underlying PCs held by third parties. See

limited in some instances to amounts less than the full amount of the loss.

(3) On January 1, 2003, $110 million of recognized Guarantee obligation attributable to estimated incurred losses on outstanding PCs or Structured

Securities was reclassiÑed to Reserve for guarantee losses on Participation CertiÑcates.

(4) Represents the portion of the Guarantee obligation recognized through Guarantor Swap transactions or upon the sale of PCs and Structured Securities
that corresponds to incurred credit losses reclassiÑed to Reserve for guarantee losses on Participation CertiÑcates upon initial recognition of a
Guarantee obligation. In addition, the amount includes an increase (reduction) of loan loss reserves of $9 million and $(31) million in 2005 and 2004,
respectively, related to prior period adjustments for which the related income was recorded in Other income.

(5) Calculated using the average Total mortgage portfolio, excluding non-Freddie Mac mortgage-related securities and that portion of Structured

Securities that is backed by Ginnie Mae CertiÑcates.

Our total loan loss reserves increased in 2006 as additional reserves we recorded to reÖect incurred losses related to our
single-family portfolio were partly oÅset by the reversal of $82 million of the Provision for credit losses recorded in 2005
associated with Hurricane Katrina. The increase in loan loss reserves during 2005 was primarily related to our estimate of
incurred losses associated with Hurricane Katrina which was $128 million at December 31, 2005. See ""CONSOLIDATED
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Ì Non-Interest Expense Ì Provision for Credit Losses,'' for additional information.

Credit Risk Sensitivity. Our credit risk sensitivity analysis assesses the assumed increase in the present value of

expected single-family mortgage portfolio credit losses over ten years as the result of an estimated immediate 5 percent
decline in home prices nationwide, followed by a return to more normal growth in home prices based on historical
experience. We use an internally developed Monte Carlo simulation-based model to generate our credit risk sensitivity
analyses. The Monte Carlo model uses a simulation program to generate numerous potential interest-rate paths that, in
conjunction with a prepayment model, are used to estimate mortgage cash Öows along each path. In the credit risk sensitivity
analysis, we adjust the home-price assumption used in the base case to estimate the level and sensitivity of potential credit
costs  resulting  from  a  sudden  decline  in  home  prices. Our  credit  risk  sensitivity  results  are  presented  in  ""RISK
MANAGEMENT AND DISCLOSURE COMMITMENTS.''

Institutional Credit Risk

Our primary institutional credit risk exposure, other than counterparty credit risk exposure relating to derivatives, arises
from agreements with the following entities: mortgage loan insurers; mortgage seller/servicers; issuers, guarantors or third
party providers of credit enhancements on non-Freddie Mac mortgage-related securities held in our Retained portfolio;
mortgage investors and originators; and issuers, guarantors and insurers of investments held in our Cash and investments
portfolio. See ""RISK MANAGEMENT Ì Interest-Rate Risk and Other Market Risks Ì Use of Derivatives and Interest-
Rate Risk Management'' for information concerning counterparty credit risk exposure relating to derivatives.

Mortgage Loan Insurers. We have institutional credit risk relating to the potential insolvency or non-performance of
mortgage insurers that insure mortgages we purchase or guarantee. We manage this risk by establishing eligibility standards
for mortgage insurers and by regularly monitoring our exposure to individual mortgage insurers. We also monitor the
mortgage insurers' credit ratings, as provided by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations, and we periodically
review the methods used by the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. We also perform periodic on-site
reviews of mortgage insurers to conÑrm compliance with our eligibility requirements and to evaluate their management and
control practices. In addition, state insurance authorities regulate mortgage insurers. See ""NOTE 17: CONCENTRATION
OF CREDIT AND OTHER RISKS'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements for additional information.

Mortgage Seller/Servicers. We are exposed to institutional credit risk arising from the insolvency of or non-
performance by our mortgage seller/servicers, including non-performance of their repurchase obligations arising from the
representations and warranties made to us for loans they underwrote and sold to us. The servicing fee charged by mortgage

78

Freddie Mac

servicers varies by mortgage product. We generally require our single-family servicers to retain a minimum percentage fee
for mortgages serviced on our behalf, typically 0.25 percent of the unpaid principal balance of the mortgage loans. However,
on an exception basis, we allow a lower or no minimum servicing amount. The credit risk associated with servicing fees
relates to whether we could transfer the applicable servicing rights to a successor servicer and recover amounts owed to us by
the defaulting servicer in the event the current servicer is unable to fulÑll its responsibilities.

In order to manage the credit risk associated with our mortgage seller/servicers, we require them to meet minimum
Ñnancial capacity standards, insurance and other eligibility requirements. We do not believe we have any signiÑcant exposure
to  seller/servicers  identiÑed  as  primarily  subprime  lenders  that  are  not  currently  in  compliance  with  our  Ñnancial
monitoring standards. We institute remedial actions against seller/servicers that fail to comply with our standards. These
actions may include transferring mortgage servicing to other qualiÑed servicers or terminating our relationship with the
seller/servicer. We conduct periodic operational reviews of our single-family mortgage seller/servicers to help us better
understand their control environment and its impact on the quality of loans sold to us. We use this information to determine
the terms of business we conduct with a particular seller/servicer.

We manage the credit risk associated with our multifamily seller/servicers by establishing eligibility requirements for
participation in our multifamily programs. These seller/servicers must also meet our standards for originating and servicing
multifamily loans. We conduct regular quality control reviews of our multifamily mortgage seller/servicers to determine
whether they remain in compliance with our standards.

Non-Freddie Mac Mortgage-Related Securities.

Investments for our Retained portfolio expose us to institutional

credit risk on non-Freddie Mac mortgage-related securities to the extent that servicers, issuers, guarantors, or third parties
providing credit enhancements become insolvent or do not perform. See ""CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS
ANALYSIS Ì Table 19 Ì Characteristics of Mortgage Loans and Mortgage-Related Securities in the Retained Portfolio''
for more information concerning our Retained portfolio.

Our non-Freddie Mac mortgage-related securities portfolio consists of both agency and non-agency mortgage-related

securities. Agency mortgage-related securities, which are securities issued or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae,
present minimal institutional credit risk due to the high credit quality of Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae. Agency mortgage-
related securities are generally not separately rated by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations, but are viewed as
having a level of credit quality at least equivalent to non-agency mortgage-related securities rated AAA (based on the S&P
rating scale or an equivalent rating from other nationally recognized statistical rating organizations). At December 31, 2006,
we held approximately $45 billion of agency securities, representing approximately 2 percent of our Total mortgage
portfolio.

Non-agency mortgage-related securities expose us to institutional credit risk if the nature of the credit enhancement
relies on a third party to cover potential losses. However, most of our non-agency mortgage-related securities rely primarily
on subordinated tranches to provide credit loss protection and therefore expose us to limited counterparty risk. In those
instances where we desire further protection, we may choose to mitigate our exposure with bond insurance or by purchasing
additional subordination. Bond insurance exposes us to the risks related to the bond insurer's ability to satisfy claims. At
December 31, 2006, a signiÑcant portion of the bond insurers providing coverage for non-agency mortgage-related securities
held  by  us  were  rated  AAA  or  equivalent  by  at  least  one  nationally  recognized  statistical  rating  organization.  At
December 31, 2006, we held approximately $238 billion of non-agency mortgage-related securities. Of this amount,
96.2 percent was rated AAA or equivalent.

We manage institutional credit risk on non-Freddie Mac mortgage-related securities by only purchasing securities that
meet our investment guidelines and performing ongoing analysis to evaluate the creditworthiness of the issuers and servicers
of these securities and the bond insurers that guarantee them. To assess the creditworthiness of these entities, we may
perform additional analysis, including on-site visits, veriÑcation of loan documentation, review of underwriting or servicing
processes and similar due diligence measures. In addition, we regularly evaluate our investments to determine if any
impairment in fair value requires an impairment loss recognition in earnings, warrants divestiture or requires a combination
of both. See ""RISK FACTORS Ì Legal and Regulatory Risks'' for more information.

Mortgage Investors and Originators. We are exposed to pre-settlement risk through the purchase, sale and Ñnancing
of mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities with mortgage investors and originators. The probability of such a default
is generally remote over the short time horizon between the trade and settlement date. We manage this risk by evaluating
the creditworthiness of our counterparties and monitoring and managing our exposures. In some instances, we may require
these counterparties to post collateral.
Cash and Investments Portfolio.

Institutional credit risk also arises from the potential insolvency or non-performance

of issuers or guarantors of investments held in our Cash and investments portfolio. Instruments in this portfolio are
investment grade at the time of purchase and primarily short-term in nature, thereby substantially mitigating institutional

79

Freddie Mac

credit risk in this portfolio. We regularly evaluate these investments to determine if any impairment in fair value requires an
impairment loss recognition in earnings, warrants divestiture or requires a combination of both.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We enter into certain business arrangements that are not recorded on our consolidated balance sheets or may be
recorded in amounts that diÅer from the full contract or notional amount of the transaction. Most of these arrangements
relate to our Ñnancial guarantee and securitization activity for which we record guarantee-related assets and obligations, but
the  related  securitized  assets  are  owned  by  third  parties. See  ""CRITICAL  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  AND
ESTIMATES Ì Issuances and Transfers of PCs and Structured Securities'' for more discussion of oÅ-balance sheet
arrangements. These oÅ-balance sheet arrangements may expose us to potential losses in excess of the amounts recorded on
our consolidated balance sheets.

Guarantee of PCs and Structured Securities

As discussed in ""BUSINESS Ì Business Activities Ì Credit Guarantee Activities,'' we guarantee the payment of

principal and interest on issued PCs or Structured Securities. Mortgage-related assets that back PCs and Structured
Securities held by third parties are not reÖected as our assets, unless we retained or repurchased an interest in the PCs that
back Structured Securities that were issued and sold to third parties.

We manage the risks of our credit guarantee activity carefully, sharing the risk in some cases with third parties through
the use of primary loan-level mortgage insurance, pool insurance and other credit enhancements. ""NOTE 4: FINANCIAL
GUARANTEES'' of our consolidated Ñnancial statements provides information about our guarantees, including details
related to credit protections and maximum coverages that we obtain through credit enhancements. Also, see ""RISK
MANAGEMENT Ì Credit Risks'' for more information.

Credit guarantee activity also occurs through the Guarantor Swap program in the form of mortgage swap transactions.

In a mortgage swap transaction, a mortgage lender delivers mortgages to us in exchange for our guaranteed PCs that
represent undivided interests in those same mortgages. We receive various forms of consideration in exchange for providing
our guarantee on issued PCs, including (a) the contractual right to receive a management and guarantee fee, (b) delivery
or credit fees for higher-risk mortgages and (c) other forms of credit enhancements received from counterparties or
mortgage loan insurers.

Credit guarantee activity also occurs through our Cash Window and our MultiLender Swap program. Single-family

mortgage loans we purchase for cash through the Cash Window are typically either retained by us in our Retained portfolio
or pooled together with other single-family mortgage loans we purchase in connection with PC swap-based transactions in
our MultiLender Program executed with various lenders. We may issue such PCs to these lenders in exchange for the
mortgage loans we purchase from them or, to the extent these loans are pooled with loans purchased for cash, we may sell
them to third parties for cash consideration through an auction.

In addition to the issuance and transfer of PCs to third parties, we also sell PCs from our Retained portfolio in
resecuritized form. We issue single- and multi-class Structured Securities that are backed by securities held in our Retained
portfolio and subsequently transfer such Structured Securities to third parties in exchange for cash, PCs or other mortgage-
related securities. We generally earn resecuritization fees in connection with the creation of Structured Securities and can
earn an ongoing management and guarantee fee for certain issued Structured Securities. Our principal credit risk exposure
on Structured Securities relates only to that portion of resecuritized assets that consists of non-Freddie Mac mortgage-
related securities. For information about our purchase, securitization and resecuritization activities, see ""PORTFOLIO
BALANCES AND ACTIVITIES.''

Our maximum potential exposure to credit losses relating to our outstanding guaranteed mortgage-related securities

held by third parties is primarily represented by the unpaid principal balance of those securities, which was $1,123 billion as
of December 31, 2006. Based on our historical credit losses, which in 2006 averaged approximately 1.4 basis points of the
balance of guaranteed securities outstanding (including those owned in our Retained portfolio), we do not believe that the
maximum exposure is representative of our actual exposure on these guarantees. The maximum exposure does not take into
consideration the recovery we would receive through exercising our rights to the collateral backing the underlying loans nor
the available credit enhancements, which includes recourse and primary insurance with third parties.

The accounting policies and fair value estimation methodologies we apply to our credit guarantee activities signiÑcantly

aÅect the volatility of our reported earnings. See ""CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Ì Non-Interest
Income (Loss)'' for an analysis of the eÅects on our consolidated statements of income related to our credit guarantee
activities. See ""CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS ANALYSIS'' for a description of our Guarantee asset and
Guarantee obligation. The accounting for our securitization transactions and the signiÑcant assumptions used to determine

80

Freddie Mac

the gains or losses from such transfers that are accounted for as sales are discussed in ""NOTE 2: TRANSFERS OF
SECURITIZED INTERESTS IN MORTGAGE-RELATED ASSETS'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements.

Other

We extend other guarantees and provide indemniÑcation to counterparties for breaches of standard representations and
warranties in contracts entered into in the normal course of business based on an assessment that the risk of loss would be
remote.  See  ""NOTE  4:  FINANCIAL  GUARANTEES''  to  our  consolidated  Ñnancial  statements  for  additional
information.

We are a party to numerous entities that are considered to be variable interest entities, or VIEs, in accordance with

FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), ""Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (revised Decem-
ber 2003), an interpretation of APB No. 51,'' or FIN 46(R). These variable interest entities include low-income multifamily
housing tax credit partnerships, certain Structured Transactions and certain asset-backed investment trusts. See ""NOTE 3:
VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements for additional information related to our
signiÑcant variable interests in these VIEs.

As part of our credit guarantee business, we routinely enter into forward purchase and sale commitments for mortgage
loans and mortgage-related securities. Some of these commitments are accounted for as derivatives with their fair values
reported as either Derivative assets, at fair value or Derivative liabilities, at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets.
See ""RISK MANAGEMENT Ì Interest-Rate Risk and Other Market Risks'' for further information. Certain non-
derivative commitments are related to commitments arising from mortgage swap transactions and commitments to purchase
certain multifamily mortgage loans that will be classiÑed as held-for-investment. These non-derivative commitments totaled
$264.4 billion and $178.8 billion at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Such commitments are not accounted for as
derivatives and are not recorded on our consolidated balance sheets.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of Ñnancial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make a number of judgments,
estimates and assumptions that aÅect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Certain of our
accounting policies, as well as estimates we make, are critical to the presentation of our Ñnancial condition and results of
operations. They often require management to make diÇcult, complex or subjective judgments and estimates, at times,
regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. The accounting policies discussed in this section are particularly critical to
understanding our consolidated Ñnancial statements. Actual results could diÅer from our estimates and diÅerent judgments
and assumptions related to these policies and estimates could have a material impact on the consolidated Ñnancial
statements.

Our critical accounting policies and estimates relate to: (a) valuation of Ñnancial instruments; (b) issuances and
transfers  of  PCs  and  Structured  Securities;  (c)  derivative  instruments  and  hedging  activities;  (d)  credit  losses;
(e)  amortization  of  cost  basis  adjustments  using  the  eÅective  interest  method;  and  (f)  impairment  recognition  on
investments in securities. For additional information about these and other signiÑcant accounting policies, including recently
issued accounting pronouncements, see ""NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES'' to
our consolidated Ñnancial statements.

Valuation of Financial Instruments

A signiÑcant portion of our assets and liabilities are Ñnancial instruments that are recorded on our consolidated Ñnancial

statements at estimated fair value. The estimation of fair value applies to instruments that are complex in nature and
requires signiÑcant management judgments and assumptions. These judgments and assumptions, as well as changes in
market conditions, may have a material eÅect on our GAAP consolidated balance sheets and statements of income as well as
our consolidated fair value balance sheets.

Fair value is deÑned as the amount at which an asset or liability could be exchanged in a current transaction between
willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The selection of a method to estimate fair value for each type of
Ñnancial instrument depends on both the reliability and availability of relevant market data. The amount of judgment
involved in estimating the fair value of a Ñnancial instrument is aÅected by a number of factors, such as the type of

81

Freddie Mac

instrument, the liquidity of the markets for the instrument and the contractual characteristics of the instrument. We estimate
fair value according to the following hierarchy of sources:

‚ quoted market prices for identical and similar instruments;
‚ industry standard models that consider market inputs such as yield curves, duration, volatility factors and prepayment

speeds; and

‚ internally developed models that consider inputs based on management's judgment of market-based assumptions.
We use quoted market prices when they are available and reliable. Financial instruments with active markets and
readily available market prices are valued based on independent price quotations obtained from third party sources, such as
pricing services, dealer marks or direct market observations. Independent price quotations obtained from pricing services are
valuations estimated by a service provider using market information. Dealer marks are prices obtained from dealers that
generally make markets in the relevant products and are an indication of the price at which the dealer would consider
transacting in normal market conditions. Market observable prices are prices that are retrieved from sources in which market
trades are executed, such as electronic trading platforms. When quoted market prices are not readily available, we utilize
models, including industry-standard models and internally developed models. These models use market inputs such as
interest rate curves, market volatilities and pricing spreads. We maximize the use of market inputs to the extent available.
Certain complex Ñnancial instruments have signiÑcant data inputs that cannot be validated by reference to the market.
These instruments are typically illiquid or unique in nature and require the use of management's judgment of market-based
assumptions. The use of diÅerent pricing models or assumptions could produce materially diÅerent estimates of fair value.

Fair value aÅects our statement of income in the following ways:
‚ For certain Ñnancial instruments that are recorded in the GAAP consolidated balance sheets at fair value, changes in

fair value are recognized in current period earnings. These include:
Ì securities and PC residuals classiÑed as trading, which are recorded in Gains (losses) on investment activity;
Ì derivatives in a fair value hedge accounting relationship and the related adjustments to the hedged items, which

are recorded in Hedge accounting gains (losses);

Ì derivatives with no hedge designation, which are recorded in Derivative gains (losses); and
Ì the Guarantee asset, which is recorded in Gains (losses) on Guarantee asset.

‚ For other Ñnancial instruments that are recorded in the GAAP consolidated balance sheets at fair value, changes in

fair value are deferred, net of tax, in AOCI. These include:
Ì securities and PC residuals classiÑed as available-for-sale, which are initially measured at fair value with deferred
gains and losses recognized in AOCI. These deferred gains and losses aÅect earnings over time through
amortization, sale or impairment recognition; and

Ì changes in derivatives that are designated in cash Öow hedge accounting relationships.

‚ Our Guarantee obligation is initially measured at fair value, but is not remeasured at fair value on a periodic basis.

This obligation aÅects earnings over time through amortization to Income on Guarantee obligation.

‚ Mortgage loans that are held-for-sale are recorded at the lower-of-cost-or-market with changes in fair value recorded

through earnings in Gains (losses) on investment activity.

We periodically evaluate our valuation methodologies and may change them to improve our fair value estimates, to
accommodate market developments or to compensate for changes in data availability and reliability or other operational
constraints.

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the fair values for approximately 99 percent of our mortgage-related securities were
based on prices obtained from third parties or were determined using models with signiÑcant market inputs. The fair values
for the remainder of our mortgage-related securities are obtained from internal models with few or no market inputs. The
majority of the fair values for our non-mortgage-related securities are based on prices obtained from third parties. For some
of these securities, where the interest rates frequently reset, the carrying value is presumed to be a reasonable approximation
of fair value. The majority of our derivative positions are valued using internally developed models that use market inputs
because few of the derivative contracts we use are listed on exchanges. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, approximately
65 percent and 68 percent, respectively, of the gross fair value of our derivatives portfolio related to interest-rate and
foreign-currency swaps that did not have embedded options. These derivatives were valued using a discounted cash Öow
model that projects future cash Öows and discounts them at the spot rate related to each cash Öow. The remaining 35 percent
and 32 percent, respectively, of our derivatives portfolio was valued based on prices obtained from third parties or using
models with signiÑcant market inputs. The fair values for all of our debt securities are based on prices obtained from third
parties or are determined using models with signiÑcant market inputs.

interest-rate sensitivity measures, PMVS and duration gap.

Issuances and Transfers of PCs and Structured Securities

We issue PCs and Structured Securities to third parties in several diÅerent ways. In general, we account for such

transfers as sales of Ñnancial assets or as Ñnancial guarantee transactions. We evaluate whether transfers of PCs or
Structured Securities qualify as sales based upon the requirements of SFAS No. 140, ""Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125,'' or SFAS 140.
If a transfer of PCs or Structured Securities qualiÑes as a sale, we recognize a gain or loss on the sale immediately in
earnings. The gain or loss is calculated as cash received less the recognized carrying value of interests sold and the fair value
of liabilities incurred upon sale.

If we determine that a transfer of PCs or Structured Securities does not qualify as a sale, we account for the transfer as a
secured borrowing pursuant to SFAS 140 or as a Ñnancial guarantee transaction pursuant to the provisions of FIN 45. Many
of the transfers of PCs and Structured Securities that we make are accounted for as Ñnancial guarantee transactions
pursuant to FIN 45. For such transactions, we recognize a Guarantee obligation at the inception of an executed guarantee.
We also recognize the fair value of any consideration received in such transactions.

For transfers of PCs and Structured Securities to third parties, the fair value measurements involve our best estimate
with respect to key assumptions. These key assumptions include expected credit losses, exposure to credit losses that could
be greater than expected, prepayment rates, forward yield curves and discount rates. We believe that these assumptions are
comparable to those used by other market participants. The use of diÅerent pricing models or assumptions could produce
materially diÅerent results. See ""NOTE 2: TRANSFERS OF SECURITIZED INTERESTS IN MORTGAGE-
RELATED ASSETS'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements for further discussion of the approach we use to determine
fair values.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The determination of whether a derivative qualiÑes for hedge accounting requires signiÑcant judgment and has a
signiÑcant impact on how such instruments are accounted for in our consolidated Ñnancial statements. As described more
fully in ""NOTE 12: DERIVATIVES'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements, by December 31, 2006 we had discontinued
substantially all of our hedge accounting relationships.

We report the change in fair value of derivatives that are not designated in hedge accounting relationships on our
consolidated statements of income in the period in which the change in value occurs. We record the change in fair value of
derivatives that are in cash Öow hedge accounting relationships, to the extent these relationships are eÅective, as a separate
component of AOCI and reclassify this amount into earnings when the hedged item or forecasted transaction aÅects
earnings. We record the change in fair value of derivatives in fair value hedge relationships each period in earnings along
with the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.

The determination of whether a derivative qualiÑes for hedge accounting requires judgment about the application of
SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS No. 138, ""Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities,
an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133,'' and SFAS No. 149, ""Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative
Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities,''  collectively  referred  to as  SFAS  133.  SFAS  133  requires  contemporaneous
documentation of our hedge relationships, including identiÑcation of the hedged item, the hedging instrument, the nature of
the hedged risk and the method used to assess the eÅectiveness of the hedge relationship.

Derivatives previously designated as cash Öow hedges generally have hedged interest-rate risk related to the forecasted
issuances of debt. For these hedging relationships to qualify for hedge accounting both at inception and over the life of the
derivative, we must estimate the probable future level of certain types of debt issuances. These estimates are based on our
expectation of future funding needs and the future mix of debt issuances. Our expectations about future funding are based
upon projected growth and historical activity. If these estimates had been lower, a smaller notional amount of the derivatives
would have been eligible for designation as cash Öow hedges and potentially material amounts that were deferred and
reported in AOCI would have been reported as Derivative gains (losses) on our consolidated statements of income in the
period in which they occurred. If estimated future fundings do not occur, or are probable of not occurring, potentially
material amounts that were deferred and reported in AOCI would be immediately recognized in Derivative gains (losses) on
our consolidated statements of income.

We believe that the forecasted issuances of debt previously hedged in cash Öow hedging relationships are probable of
occurring, therefore we may continue to include previously deferred amounts in AOCI. For a more detailed description of
our use of derivatives and summaries of derivative positions, see ""CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Ì
Derivative Overview'' and ""NOTE 12: DERIVATIVES'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements.

Credit Losses

We maintain a Reserve for losses on mortgage loans held-for-investment to provide for incurred credit losses from our
mortgage loan portfolio. We also maintain a Reserve for guarantee losses on Participation CertiÑcates to provide for losses
incurred on mortgages underlying PCs or Structured Securities held by third parties that we guarantee. We use the same
methodology to determine our Reserve for losses on mortgage loans held-for-investment and our Reserve for guarantee
losses on Participation CertiÑcates, as the relevant factors aÅecting credit risk are the same. The Reserve for losses on
mortgage loans held-for-investment and the Reserve for guarantee losses on Participation CertiÑcates are collectively
referred to as the loan loss reserves.

To calculate the loan loss reserves for the single-family loan portfolio, we aggregate homogenous loans into pools based

on  common  underlying  characteristics,  using  statistically  based  models  to  evaluate  relevant  factors  aÅecting  loan
collectibility, and determine the best estimate of loss. To calculate loan loss reserves for the multifamily loan portfolio, we
use models, evaluate certain larger loans for impairment, and review repayment prospects and collateral values underlying
individual loans.

We regularly evaluate the underlying estimates and models we use when determining the loan loss reserves and update

our assumptions to reÖect our own historical experience and our current view of overall economic conditions and other
relevant factors.

Determining the adequacy of the loan loss reserves is a complex process that is subject to numerous estimates and

assumptions requiring judgment. Key estimates and assumptions that impact our loan loss reserves include:

‚ loss severity trends;
‚ default experience;
‚ expected proceeds from credit enhancements;
‚ collateral valuation; and
‚ identiÑcation and impact assessment of macroeconomic factors.

No single statistic or measurement determines the adequacy of the loan loss reserves. We exercise a signiÑcant amount of
judgment in selecting the above factors. Changes in one or more of the estimates or assumptions used to calculate the loan
loss reserves could have a material impact on the loan loss reserves and provisions for credit losses.

We believe the level of our loan loss reserves is reasonable based on internal reviews of the factors and methodologies
used. An independent management group reviews the level of loan loss reserves, as well as the factors and methodologies
that give rise to the estimate, and submits the best point estimate for review by senior management. This review process
provides consistent implementation and disclosure.

Loan loss reserves associated with Hurricane Katrina in 2005 were established based on preliminary estimates that were
higher than current estimates. We have revised these estimates based on additional information about property damage and
recoveries. During 2006, our revised estimates of incurred losses related to Hurricane Katrina resulted in a reduction of
$82 million in the loan loss reserves originally recorded in 2005 for loans aÅected by the hurricane.

Amortization of Cost Basis Adjustments Using the EÅective Interest Method

We recognize interest income on certain mortgage-related and non-mortgage-related investments, using the retrospec-
tive eÅective interest method in accordance with SFAS No. 91, ""Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated
with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 13, 60,
and 65 and a rescission of FASB Statement No. 17,'' or SFAS 91. Deferred items, including premiums, discounts and other
basis adjustments, are amortized into interest income over the estimated lives of the securities using the retrospective
eÅective interest method. SFAS 91 allows estimates of principal prepayments for pools of assets containing similar
characteristics where prepayments are probable and the timing and amount of prepayments can be reasonably estimated.
Most of our mortgage-related and non-mortgage-related investments meet this requirement. Therefore, we recalculate the
constant eÅective yield at each period end using our current estimate of principal prepayments. Adjustments that result
from applying the updated eÅective yield as if it had been in eÅect since the acquisition of the securities are recognized
through interest income.

For  certain  other  investments  in  mortgage-related  securities  classiÑed  as  available-for-sale,  interest  income  is
recognized using the prospective eÅective interest method in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-20,
""Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased BeneÑcial Interests and BeneÑcial Interests That Continue
to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets,'' or EITF 99-20. Under this method, changes in the eÅective
yield due to changes in estimated lives are recognized as adjustments to interest income in future periods rather than as

84

Freddie Mac

catch up adjustments in the current period. We speciÑcally apply such guidance to beneÑcial interests (including undivided
interests which are similar to beneÑcial interests) in securitized Ñnancial assets that:

‚ can contractually be prepaid or otherwise settled in such a way that we may not recover substantially all of our

recorded investment (such as interest-only securities); or

‚ were not of high credit quality at the date that we acquired them.
Determination of the eÅective yield requires signiÑcant judgment in estimating expected prepayment behavior, which is
inherently uncertain. Estimates of future prepayments are derived from market sources and our internal prepayment models.
Judgment is involved in making initial determinations about prepayment expectations and in changing those expectations
over time in response to changes in market conditions, such as interest rates and other macroeconomic factors. The eÅects of
future changes in market conditions may be material. We believe that the above assumptions are comparable to those used
by other market participants. However, the use of diÅerent assumptions in our prepayment models could have resulted in
materially diÅerent income recognition results. See ""NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements for more information on interest income recognition on securities.

Impairment Recognition on Investments in Securities

We recognize impairment losses on available-for-sale securities through the income statement when we have concluded

that a decrease in the fair value of a security is not temporary. For securities accounted for under EITF 99-20, an
impairment loss is recognized when there is both a decline in fair value below the carrying amount and an adverse change in
expected  cash  Öows.  Determination  of  whether  an  adverse  change  has  occurred  involves  judgment  about  expected
prepayments and credit events. We review securities not accounted for under EITF 99-20 for potential impairment whenever
the security's fair value is less than its amortized cost. This review considers a number of factors, including the severity of
the decline in fair value, credit ratings, the length of time the investment has been in an unrealized loss position, and the
likelihood of sale in the near term. We recognize impairment losses when quantitative and qualitative factors indicate that it
is likely that we will not fully recover the unrealized loss. One of the factors we consider is our intent and ability to hold the
investment until a point in time at which recovery can be reasonably expected to occur. We apply signiÑcant judgment in
determining whether impairment loss recognition is appropriate. We believe our judgments are reasonable. However,
diÅerent judgments could have resulted in materially diÅerent impairment loss recognition. See ""NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES''  to  our  consolidated  Ñnancial  statements  for  more  information  on
impairment recognition on securities.

(6) Includes mortgage loans we purchased that underlie whole-loan REMICs except for $83 million of mortgage loan purchases that collateralize the

non-guaranteed portion of whole-loan REMICs.

(7) Mortgages whose terms require lump sum principal payments on contractually determined future dates unless the borrower qualiÑes for and elects an

extension of the maturity date at an adjusted interest rate.
(8) Excludes FHA/VA loans that back Structured Transactions.
(9) Includes $6,908 million, $14,331 million and $5,653 million at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, of option ARM loans.
(10) Based on total mortgage portfolio. Excludes the eÅect of sales of non-Freddie Mac mortgage-related securities.

Our new business purchases consist of mortgage loans and non-Freddie Mac mortgage-related securities that are
purchased for our Retained portfolio and serve as collateral for our issued PCs and Structured Securities. We generate a
signiÑcant portion of our mortgage purchase volume through several key mortgage lenders that have entered into unique
business arrangements with us. See ""BUSINESS Ì Business Activities Ì Credit Guarantee Activities'' for information
about these relationships and consequent risks. During 2006 and 2005, we increased purchases of adjustable-rate (i.e.,
ARMs/Variable-rate and option ARMs) and interest-only mortgage loans and non-Freddie Mac mortgage-related securities
because these products generally oÅered more attractive option-adjusted spreads than Ñxed-rate products.

Guaranteed PCs and Structured Securities

Guaranteed PCs and Structured Securities Issued represent the unpaid principal balances of the mortgage-related
securities we issue or otherwise guarantee. Table 50 presents the distribution of underlying mortgage assets for total PCs and
Structured Securities issued and outstanding.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND DISCLOSURE COMMITMENTS
In October 2000, we announced our voluntary adoption of a series of commitments designed to enhance market
discipline, liquidity and capital. In September 2005, we entered into a written agreement with OFHEO that updated these
commitments and set forth a process for implementing them. The letters between the company and OFHEO dated
September 1, 2005 constituting the written agreement are available on the Investor Relations page of our website at
www.freddiemac.com/investors/reports.html#commit. As noted in these letters, disclosures may be aÅected by situations
where current Ñnancial statements are not available. The status of our commitments at December 31, 2006 follows:

Description

Status

1. Periodic Issuance of Subordinated Debt:
‚ We will issue Freddie SUBS» securities for public
secondary market trading that are rated by no less
than two nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations.

‚ Freddie SUBS» securities will be issued in an amount
such that the sum of Total capital (Core capital plus
general allowance for losses) and the outstanding
balance of ""Qualifying subordinated debt'' will equal
or exceed the sum of 0.45 percent of outstanding PCs
and Structured Securities we guaranteed and
4 percent of total on-balance sheet assets. Qualifying
subordinated debt is discounted by one-Ñfth each year
during the instrument's last Ñve years before maturity;
when the remaining maturity is less than one year,
the instrument is entirely excluded. We will take
reasonable steps to maintain outstanding subordinated
debt of suÇcient size to promote liquidity and reliable
market quotes on market values.

‚ Each quarter we will submit to OFHEO calculations

of the quantity of qualifying Freddie SUBS»
securities and Total capital as part of our quarterly
capital report.

‚ Every six months, we will submit to OFHEO a

subordinated debt management plan that includes any
issuance plans for the six months following the date
of the plan.

2. Liquidity Management and Contingency Planning:
‚ We will maintain a contingency plan providing for at
least three months' liquidity without relying upon the
issuance of unsecured debt. We will also periodically
test the contingency plan in consultation with
OFHEO.

3. Interest-Rate Risk Disclosures:
‚ We will provide public disclosure of our duration gap,
PMVS-L and PMVS-YC interest-rate risk sensitivity
results on a monthly basis. See ""RISK
MANAGEMENT Ì Interest-Rate Risk and Other
Market Risks Ì Portfolio Market Value Sensitivity and
Measurement of Interest-Rate Risk'' for a description of
these metrics.

‚ Consistent with promoting the liquidity of our securities,
in December 2006 we issued approximately $2.0 billion
of Freddie SUBS» securities, including approximately
$1.5 billion issued in exchange for previously issued
Freddie SUBS» securities. In addition, we called
approximately $1.0 billion of previously issued Freddie
SUBS» securities in August 2006 and issued
approximately $1.25 billion of Freddie SUBS» securities
in June 2006. We did not issue, call or repurchase any
Freddie SUBS» securities during 2005 and 2004. Our
ability to issue additional subordinated debt may be
limited until we return to regular Ñnancial reporting.

‚ All Freddie SUBS» securities issued in 2006 were rated

by no less than two nationally recognized statistical
rating organizations.

‚ We reported to OFHEO that at December 31, 2006, we

had $42.6 billion in Total capital plus qualifying
subordinated debt, resulting in a surplus of $5.0 billion.
During 2006, we submitted our quarterly Total capital
plus qualifying subordinated debt reports to OFHEO.

‚ We have submitted our semi-annual subordinated debt

management plans to OFHEO.

‚ We have in place a liquidity contingency plan, upon
which we report to OFHEO on a weekly basis. We
periodically test this plan in accordance with our
agreement with OFHEO.

‚ For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, our
duration gap averaged zero month, PMVS-L averaged
1 percent and PMVS-YC averaged zero percent. Our
2006 monthly average duration gap, PMVS results and
related disclosures are provided in our Monthly Volume
Summary which is available on our website,
www.freddiemac.com/investors/volsum.

4. Credit Risk Disclosures:
‚ We will make quarterly assessments of the impact on
expected credit losses from an immediate 5 percent
decline in single-family home prices for the entire
U.S. We will disclose the impact in present value
terms and measure our losses both before and after
receipt of private mortgage insurance claims and
other credit enhancements.

‚ Our  quarterly  credit  risk  sensitivity  estimates  are  as

continuously monitored by at least one nationally
recognized statistical rating organization, assessing
""risk-to-the-government'' or independent Ñnancial
strength.

(1) Assumes that none of the credit enhancements currently covering our mortgage loans

has any mitigating impact on our credit losses.

(2) Assumes we collect amounts due from credit enhancement providers after giving eÅect

to certain assumptions about counterparty default rates.

(3) Based  on  single-family  Total  mortgage  portfolio,  excluding  Structured  Securities

backed by Ginnie Mae CertiÑcates.

(4) Calculated as the ratio of net present value of increase in credit losses to the single-

family Total mortgage portfolio, deÑned in footnote (3) above.

‚ At March 1, 2007, our ""risk-to-the-government'' rating
from S&P was ""AA¿'' and Moody's Bank Financial
Strength Rating for us was ""A¿''.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Freddie Mac

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Freddie Mac:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, of

cash Öows, and of stockholders' equity present fairly, in all material respects, the Ñnancial position of Freddie Mac, a
stockholder-owned government-sponsored enterprise (the ""company''), and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2006 and 2005,
and the results of their operations and their cash Öows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These Ñnancial statements are
the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Ñnancial statements
based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements 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 Ñnancial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Ñnancial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
signiÑcant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall Ñnancial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have also audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America the
supplemental consolidated fair value balance sheets of the company as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. As described in
""NOTE 16: FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES,'' the supplemental consolidated fair value balance sheets have been prepared
by management to present relevant Ñnancial information that is not provided by the historical-cost consolidated balance
sheets and is not intended to be a presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the
supplemental consolidated fair value balance sheets do not purport to present the net realizable, liquidation, or market value
of the company as a whole. Furthermore, amounts ultimately realized by the company from the disposal of assets or amounts
required to settle obligations may vary signiÑcantly from the fair values presented. In our opinion, the supplemental
consolidated fair value balance sheets referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein as described in ""NOTE 16: FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES.''

As discussed in ""NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,'' the company changed
its method of accounting for deÑned beneÑt plans as of December 31, 2006, its method of accounting for interest expense
related to callable debt instruments as of January 1, 2005, and its method for determining gains and losses on sales of
certain guaranteed securities as of October 1, 2005.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We are a stockholder-owned government-sponsored enterprise, or GSE, established by Congress in 1970 to provide a
continuous Öow of funds for residential mortgages. Our obligations are ours alone and are not insured or guaranteed by the
U.S. government, or any other agency or instrumentality of the U.S. We play a fundamental role in the U.S. housing
Ñnance system, linking the domestic mortgage market and the global capital markets. Our participation in the secondary
mortgage market includes providing our credit guarantee for residential mortgages originated by mortgage lenders and
investing in mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities that we hold in our Retained portfolio. Through our credit
guarantee activities, we securitize mortgage loans by issuing Mortgage Participation CertiÑcates, or PCs, to third-party
investors. We also resecuritize mortgage-related securities that are issued by us or the Government National Mortgage
Association, or Ginnie Mae, as well as non-agency entities. We also guarantee multifamily mortgage loans that support
housing revenue bonds issued by third parties and we guarantee other mortgage loans held by third parties. Securitized
mortgage-related assets that back PCs and Structured Securities that are held by third parties are not reÖected as our assets.
In return for providing our guarantee on issued PCs and Structured Securities, we may earn a management and guarantee
fee that is paid to us over the life of the related PCs and Structured Securities. Our obligation to guarantee the payment of
principal and interest on issued PCs and Structured Securities usually results in the recognition of a Guarantee asset and
Guarantee obligation.

Our Ñnancial reporting and accounting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.
Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassiÑed to conform to the current presentation. We evaluate the materiality
of identiÑed errors in the Ñnancial statements using both an income statement, or ""rollover,'' and a balance sheet, or ""iron-
curtain,'' approach, based on relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. Our approach is consistent with the Securities and
Exchange Commission's StaÅ Accounting Bulletin No. 108, ""Considering the EÅects of Prior Year Misstatements when
Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,'' or SAB 108, which is eÅective for the year ended
December 31, 2006.

Estimates

The preparation of Ñnancial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that aÅect (a) the reported

amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Ñnancial statements and
(b) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses and gains and losses during the reporting period. Actual results could
diÅer from those estimates.

Our estimates and judgments include the following:
‚ estimating fair value for Ñnancial instruments (See ""NOTE 16: FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES'' for a discussion

of our fair value estimates);

‚ determining the expected future cash Öows (including the timing and amounts of prepayments) of mortgage-related
assets in the Retained portfolio for the purpose of amortizing deferred amounts and assessing when securities are
other-than-temporarily impaired;

‚ assessing the reserves for credit losses on mortgage loans and guarantee losses on PCs;
‚ assessing our legal and tax contingencies;
‚ estimating the expected timing and amounts of future issuances of non-callable debt; and
‚ determining  other  matters  that  aÅect  the  reported  amounts  and  disclosure  of  contingencies  in  the  Ñnancial

statements.

Net income for 2006 was increased by approximately $8 million (after-tax), or $0.01 per diluted common share, due
primarily to changes in estimates related to the amortization of discounts, premiums and deferred fees for assets held in the
Retained portfolio and enhancements to our approach for certain valuations including the Guarantee asset and Guarantee
obligation.

EÅective January 1, 2006, we enhanced our process for forecasting interest rates and estimating prepayments used to

amortize discounts, premiums and deferred fees for assets held in the Retained portfolio. This change resulted in a
$49 million (after-tax) reduction in Net income for 2006, including the eÅect of the amortization of deferred credit fees.
Also, eÅective January 1, 2006, we enhanced our approach for Guarantee asset and Guarantee obligation valuations
primarily with respect to applying dealer prices in estimating the fair value of our guarantee-related assets. We also enhanced
our approach for applying loan characteristics in the valuation of our Guarantee obligation. These changes resulted in a
$57 million (after-tax) increase in Net income for 2006.

In 2005, Net income was reduced by approximately $206 million (after-tax), or $0.30 per diluted common share,
related to the implementation of enhancements to our approach for Guarantee asset and Guarantee obligation valuations, the

100

Freddie Mac

estimation of reserves for uncollectible interest, and models used to estimate prepayment behavior of mortgage assets, all of
which were recorded as changes in accounting estimates.

In 2004, Net income was decreased by approximately $56 million (after-tax), or $0.08 per diluted common share, as the
result of a change in estimate related to enhancements to certain assumptions and calculations in the amortization process
for deferred fees recorded as basis adjustments on assets in our Retained portfolio.

Changes in Accounting Principles

At December 31, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 158, ""Employers'

Accounting for DeÑned BeneÑt Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88,
106, and 132(R),'' or SFAS 158, which requires the recognition of our pension and other postretirement plans' overfunded
or underfunded status in the statement of Ñnancial position beginning December 31, 2006. See ""Recently Adopted
Accounting Standards'' for additional information. Table 1.2 summarizes the incremental eÅect of applying SFAS 158 on
individual line items on our consolidated balance sheets.

(1) Allocation between Other assets and Other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets depends upon whether the deÑned beneÑt plans are either

overfunded (impacting Other assets) or underfunded (impacting Other liabilities). Included in the Other assets line on our consolidated balance
sheets is a Deferred tax asset of $45 million based on the amount reclassiÑed into AOCI, net of taxes at December 31, 2006.

EÅective January 1, 2006, we made a change to our method of amortization for certain types of non-agency securities

resulting in a $13 million (after-tax) reduction to the opening balance of retained earnings.

EÅective January 1, 2005, we changed our method of accounting for interest expense related to callable debt
instruments to recognize interest expense using an eÅective interest method over the contractual life of the debt. For periods
prior to 2005, we amortized premiums, discounts, deferred issuance costs and other basis adjustments into interest expense
using an eÅective interest method over the estimated life of the debt. We implemented this change in accounting method to
facilitate improved Ñnancial reporting, particularly to promote the comparability of our Ñnancial reporting with that of our
primary competitor. The change in accounting method also reduced the operational complexity associated with determining
the estimated life of callable debt. The cumulative eÅect of this change was a $59 million (after-tax) reduction in net
income for 2005.

Table 1.3 summarizes the pro forma net income and related basic and diluted earnings per common share, had the

amortization of premiums, discounts, deferred issuance costs and other basis adjustments related to callable debt based on
the contractual maturity been in eÅect for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Beginning October 1, 2005, we changed our method for determining gains and losses upon the resale of PCs and
Structured Securities related to deferred items recognized in connection with our guarantee of those securities. This change
in accounting principle was facilitated by system changes that now allow us to apply and track these deferred items relative
to the speciÑc portions of the purchased PCs and Structured Securities. The lack of certain historical data precluded us
from calculating the cumulative eÅect of the change. We were not able to determine the pro forma eÅects of applying the
new  method  retroactively.  See  ""NOTE  2:  TRANSFERS  OF  SECURITIZED  INTERESTS  IN  MORTGAGE-
RELATED ASSETS'' for additional information.

Consolidation and Equity Method of Accounting

The consolidated Ñnancial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries. All material intercompany

transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For each entity with which we are involved, we determine whether the
entity should be considered our subsidiary and included in our consolidated Ñnancial statements. We consolidate (a) all
variable interest entities, or VIEs, in which we are the primary beneÑciary and (b) entities in which we hold more than
50 percent of the voting rights or have the ability to exercise control over the entity.

We are considered the primary beneÑciary and must consolidate a VIE when we absorb a majority of expected losses or

expected residual returns, or both. In addition to the VIEs that are consolidated, we have signiÑcant variable interest in
certain other VIEs that are not consolidated because we are not the primary beneÑciary. See ""NOTE 3: VARIABLE
INTEREST ENTITIES'' for more information.

We consolidate entities when we hold more than 50 percent of the voting rights or have the ability to exercise control
over the entity. Accordingly, we consolidate our two majority-owned REITs, Home Ownership Funding Corporation and
Home Ownership Funding Corporation II. The equity and net earnings attributable to the minority shareholder interests in
our consolidated subsidiaries are reported separately on our consolidated balance sheets as Minority interests in consolidated
subsidiaries and in the consolidated statements of income as Minority interests in earnings of consolidated subsidiaries.

We use the equity method of accounting for VIEs when we are not the primary beneÑciary and for entities that are not

VIEs over which we have the ability to exercise signiÑcant inÖuence, but not control. Under the equity method of
accounting, we report our recorded investment as part of Other assets on our consolidated balance sheets and recognize our
share of the entity's net income or losses in the consolidated statements of income as Non-interest income/expense, with an
oÅset to the recorded investment on our consolidated balance sheets. Losses are recognized up to the amount of investment
recorded.

We regularly invest as a limited partner in qualiÑed low-income housing tax credit, or LIHTC, partnerships that are

eligible for federal tax credits. Most of these are VIEs. We are the primary beneÑciary and consolidate certain of these
partnerships as described further in ""NOTE 3: VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES.'' Our recorded investment in those
partnerships that are not consolidated is accounted for under the equity method and reported as part of Other assets on our
consolidated balance sheets. Our share of partnership income or loss is reported in our consolidated statements of income as
Non-interest expense Ì Housing tax credit partnerships. Our obligations to make delayed equity contributions that are
unconditional and legally binding are recorded at their present value in Other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
To the extent our cost basis in qualiÑed LIHTC partnerships diÅers from the book basis reÖected at the partnership level,
the diÅerence is amortized over the life of the tax credits and included in our share of earnings (losses) from housing tax
credit partnerships. We periodically review these investments for impairment and adjust them to fair value when a decline in
market value below the recorded investment is deemed to be other-than-temporary. Impairment losses are included in our
consolidated statements of income as part of Non-interest expense Ì Housing tax credit partnerships.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Statements of Cash Flows

Highly liquid investment securities that have an original maturity of three months or less and are used for cash
management purposes are accounted for as cash equivalents. In addition, cash collateral we obtained from counterparties to

102

Freddie Mac

derivative contracts where we are in a net unrealized gain position is recorded as Cash and cash equivalents. The vast
majority of the Cash and cash equivalents balance is interest-bearing in nature.

In the consolidated statements of cash Öows, cash Öows related to the acquisition and termination of derivatives other

than forward commitments are generally classiÑed in investing activities, without regard to whether the derivatives are
designated as a hedge of another item. Cash Öows from commitments accounted for as derivatives that result in the
acquisition or sale of mortgage securities or mortgage loans are classiÑed in either: (a) operating activities for trading
securities or mortgage loans classiÑed as held-for-sale, or (b) investing activities for available-for-sale securities or mortgage
loans classiÑed as held-for-investment. Cash Öows related to mortgage loans classiÑed as held-for-sale are classiÑed in
operating activities until the loans have been securitized and retained as available-for-sale PCs, at which time the cash Öows
are classiÑed as investing activities. Cash Öows related to guarantee fees, including buy-up and buy-down payments, are
classiÑed as operating activities, along with the cash Öows related to the collection and distribution of payments on the
mortgage loans underlying PCs. Buy-up and buy-down payments are discussed further below in ""Swap-Based Issuances of
PCs and Structured Securities.''

Transfers of PCs and Structured Securities that Qualify as Sales

Upon completion of a transfer of a Ñnancial asset that qualiÑes as a sale under SFAS No. 140, ""Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125,''
or SFAS 140, we de-recognize all assets sold and recognize all assets obtained and liabilities incurred. Upon sale, we
recognize the fair value of our obligation to guarantee the payment of principal and interest of PCs and Structured Securities
transferred in sale transactions. The portion of such obligation that relates to our non-contingent obligation to stand ready to
perform under our guarantee is recognized as a Guarantee obligation, while the portion of the obligation that relates to
estimated incurred losses on securitized assets is recognized for consolidated balance sheet purposes as Reserve for guarantee
losses on Participation CertiÑcates. The resulting gain (loss) on sale of transferred PCs and Structured Securities is
reÖected in our consolidated statements of income as a component of Gains (losses) on investment activity.

In recording a sales transaction, we also continue to carry on our consolidated balance sheets any retained interests in
securitized Ñnancial assets. Such retained interests include our right to receive management and guarantee fees on PCs or
Structured Securities, which is classiÑed on our consolidated balance sheets as a Guarantee asset. The carrying amount of
all such retained interests is determined by allocating the previous carrying amount of the transferred assets between assets
sold and the retained interests based upon their relative fair values at the date of transfer. Other retained interests include
PCs  or  Structured  Securities  that  are  not  transferred  to  third  parties  upon  the  completion  of  a  securitization  or
resecuritization transaction.

Swap-Based Issuances of PCs and Structured Securities

We issue PCs and Structured Securities through cash-based sales transactions and through various swap-based
exchanges. In the case of PC-based swaps, we issue such securities to third parties through Guarantor and MultiLender
Swap transactions. Guarantor Swaps are transactions in which Ñnancial institutions transfer mortgage loans to us in exchange
for PCs we issue that are backed by such mortgage loans. MultiLender Swaps are similar to Guarantor Swaps, except that
formed pools include loans that are contributed by more than one other party or by us. In Guarantor and MultiLender
Swaps, as in sales transactions, in return for providing our guarantee, we earn a guarantee fee that is paid to us over the life of
an issued PC. It is also common for buy-up or buy-down payments to be exchanged between our counterparties and us upon
the issuance of a PC. Buy-ups are upfront payments made by us that increase the guarantee fee we will receive over the life
of the PC. Buy-downs are upfront payments that are made to us that decrease (i.e., partially prepay) the guarantee fee we
will receive over the life of the PC. We may also receive upfront, cash-based payments as additional compensation for our
guarantee of mortgage loans, referred to as credit fees. As additional consideration received on swap-based exchanges, we
may receive various types of seller-provided credit enhancements related to the underlying mortgage loans. We also issue
and transfer Structured Securities to third parties in exchange for PCs and non-Freddie Mac mortgage-related securities.
We recognize the fair value of our contractual right to receive guarantee fees as a Guarantee asset at the inception of an
executed guarantee. Additionally, at inception of an executed guarantee, we recognize a Guarantee obligation at the greater
of (a) fair value or (b) the contingent liability amount required by SFAS No. 5, ""Accounting for Contingencies,'' or
SFAS 5. Similar to transfers of PCs and Structured Securities that qualify as sales, that portion of our estimated guarantee
liability that relates to our non-contingent obligation to stand ready to perform under a PC guarantee is recognized as
Guarantee obligation, while that portion of such estimated guarantee liability that relates to our contingent obligation to
make payments under our guarantee is recognized on our consolidated balance sheets as Reserve for guarantee losses on
Participation CertiÑcates. Credit enhancements received in connection with Guarantor Swaps and other similar exchange
transactions of PCs are measured at fair value and recognized as follows: (a) pool insurance is recognized as an Other asset;
(b) recourse and/or indemniÑcations that are provided by counterparties to Guarantor Swap transactions are recognized as

103

Freddie Mac

Other assets; and (c) primary mortgage insurance is recognized at inception as a component of the recognized Guarantee
obligation.

Because Guarantee asset, Guarantee obligation and credit enhancement-related assets that are recognized at the
inception of an executed Guarantor Swap are valued independently of each other, net diÅerences between these recognized
assets and liabilities may exist at inception. If the amount of the Guarantee asset plus the credit enhancement-related assets
is greater than the total amount of the Guarantee obligation, the diÅerence between such amounts is deferred on our
consolidated balance sheets as a component of Guarantee obligation and referred to as deferred guarantee income. If the
amount of the Guarantee asset and the credit enhancement-related assets is less than the total amount of the Guarantee
obligation, the diÅerence between such amounts is expensed immediately to earnings as a component of Non-interest
expense Ì Other expenses. Additionally, cash payments that are made or received in connection with buy-ups and buy-
downs are recognized as adjustments of recognized deferred guarantee income. Likewise, credit fees that we receive at
inception are also recognized as adjustments of recognized deferred guarantee income.

We account for a portion of PCs that we issue through our MultiLender Swap Program in the same manner as transfers
that are accounted for as sales. The remaining portion of such PC issuances is accounted for in a manner consistent with the
accounting for PCs issued through the Guarantor Swap program.

For Structured Securities that we issue to third parties in exchange for PCs and non- Freddie Mac mortgage-related
securities, we generally do not recognize any incremental Guarantee asset or Guarantee obligation. Rather, we defer and
amortize into income on a straight-line basis that portion of the transaction fee that we receive that relates to the estimated
fair value of our future administrative responsibilities for issued Structured Securities. In cases where we retain portions of
Structured Securities issued in such transactions, a portion of the received transaction fee is deferred as a carrying value
adjustment of retained Structured Securities. The balance of transaction fees received, which relates to compensation earned
in connection with structuring-related services we rendered to third parties, is recognized immediately in earnings as Non-
interest income Ì Resecuritization fees.

Purchases of PCs or Structured Securities

The purchase of a PC or Structured Security prompts the extinguishment of the corresponding, recognized Guarantee

obligation. We de-recognize an extinguished Guarantee obligation against earnings as a component of Gains (losses) on
investment activity. Correspondingly, the recognized Guarantee asset is reclassiÑed on our consolidated balance sheets as a
component of PC residuals. PC residuals are remeasured at fair value, including the fair value of the inherent credit
obligation associated with the purchased PC or Structured Security. The unamortized balance of deferred guarantee income
is extinguished as a basis adjustment to the recognized value of purchased PCs. Such basis adjustments are subsequently
amortized into earnings as Interest income pursuant to the requirements of SFAS No. 91, ""Accounting for Nonrefundable
Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases, an amendment of FASB
Statements No. 13, 60 and 65 and a rescission of FASB Statement No. 17,'' or SFAS 91, using the eÅective interest
method.

Subsequent Measurement of Recognized Guarantee-Related Assets and Liabilities
Deferred Guarantee Income

Deferred guarantee income is amortized into earnings at a rate that is commensurate with the observed rate of decline in
the unpaid principal balance of securitized mortgage loans. Periodic amortization of recognized deferred guarantee income
is reÖected in earnings as a component of Income on Guarantee obligation.

Recognized Guarantee Asset

We generally account for a Guarantee asset like a debt instrument classiÑed as trading under SFAS 115, ""Accounting

for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,'' or SFAS 115. Changes in the fair value of the recognized
Guarantee asset are reÖected in earnings as a component of Gains (losses) on Guarantee asset. Cash collections of our
contractual guarantee fee reduce the value of the Guarantee asset. All guarantee-related compensation that is received over
the life of the loan in cash is reÖected in earnings as a component of Management and guarantee income.

Recognized Guarantee Obligation

We amortize the recognized Guarantee obligation into earnings commensurate with the observed decline in the unpaid
principal balance of securitized mortgage loans. Periodic amortization of a recognized Guarantee obligation is reÖected in
earnings as a component of Income on Guarantee obligation. Separately, the subsequent measurement of our contingent
obligation to make guarantee payments is further discussed below in ""Reserves for Losses on Mortgage Loans Held-for-
Investment and Losses on PCs.''

104

Freddie Mac

Recognized Credit Enhancements

Credit enhancements that are separately recognized as Other assets are amortized into earnings as Non-interest
expense. Such assets are amortized over related contract terms at the greater of amounts calculated by amortizing recognized
credit enhancements (a) commensurate with the observed decline in the unpaid principal balance of covered mortgage
loans or (b) on a straight-line basis over a credit enhancement's contract term. Recurring insurance premiums are recorded
at the amount paid and amortized over their contractual life and, if provided quarterly, then the amortization period is three
months.

PC Residuals

PC residuals relate to certain PCs or Structured Securities that we hold as investments and represent the fair value of
the expected future cash Öows associated with the guarantee contracts (including cash Öows related to Management and
guarantee fees and our Guarantee obligation) that are inherent within such securities.

We recognize a PC residual in connection with PCs or Structured Securities that we hold that (a) were previously

transferred to third parties as part of transactions that were accounted for either as sales or in a manner described above for
Guarantor Swap transactions (such that a Guarantee asset and Guarantee obligation were previously established for held
PCs or Structured Securities), or (b) were formed from mortgage loans purchased through our Cash Window, referred to
as ""Cash Window Purchases,'' and that were never transferred to third parties.

Similar to our recognized Guarantee asset, a PC residual is accounted for like a debt security and is classiÑed as either
available-for-sale or trading under SFAS 115. PC residuals relating to PCs or Structured Securities that were transferred to
third parties and for which a Guarantee asset and Guarantee obligation was recognized are accounted for like debt
securities that are classiÑed as trading. PC residuals relating to PCs held in portfolio that were formed from Cash Window
Purchases and that were never transferred to third parties are generally accounted for like debt securities that are classiÑed
as available-for-sale.

PC residuals are subsequently carried at fair value considering the future inherent credit obligation. All changes in the

fair value of PC residuals that are designated as trading are reÖected in earnings as a component of Gains (losses) on
investment activity. All changes in the fair value of PC residuals that are accounted for as available-for-sale are reÖected as
a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes, or AOCI, a component of Stockholders'
equity. All cash received over the life of the underlying loans with respect to the Guarantee asset component of the PC
residuals is reÖected in earnings as a component of Net interest income.

Due to Participation CertiÑcate Investors

Timing diÅerences between our receipt of scheduled and unscheduled principal and interest payments from seller/

servicers on mortgages underlying PCs and the subsequent pass through of those payments on PCs owned by third-party
investors result in the liability Due to Participation CertiÑcate investors. In those cases, the PC balance is not reduced for
payments of principal received from seller/servicers in a given month until the Ñrst day of the next month and we do not
release the cash received (principal and interest) to the PC investor until the Ñfteenth day of that next month. We generally
invest the principal and interest amounts we receive in short-term investments from the time the cash is received until the
time we pay the PC investor. Interest income resulting from investment of principal and interest payments from seller/
servicers is reported in interest income.

For unscheduled principal prepayments, these timing diÅerences result in an expense accrual upon prepayment of the
underlying mortgage. This is because the related PCs continue to bear interest due to the PC investor at the PC coupon rate
from the date of prepayment until the date the PC security balance is reduced, while generally no interest is received from
the mortgage on that prepayment amount during that period. The expense recognized upon prepayment is reported in
Interest expense Ì Due to Participation CertiÑcate investors. We report PC coupon interest amounts relating to our
investment in PCs consistent with GAAP applied by third party investors in PCs. Accordingly, the PC coupon interest on
prepayments of a mortgage pending remittance on PCs held by us is reported as both Interest Income Ì Mortgage-related
securities in the Retained portfolio and Interest expense Ì Due to Participation CertiÑcate investors. Scheduled and
unscheduled principal payments received by us that relate to our investment in PCs are reported as a reduction to our
investment in PCs on our consolidated balance sheets.

Mortgage Loans

Mortgage loans that we intend to sell are classiÑed as held-for-sale. If we decide to retain a loan, the loan is transferred
to the held-for-investment portfolio. Loans transferred to the held-for-investment portfolio are transferred at lower of cost or
market. Lower-of-cost-or-market valuation adjustments relating to these loans are treated as basis adjustments and are
subsequently amortized into interest income over the estimated lives of the mortgages using the eÅective interest method.

105

Freddie Mac

We recognize interest on mortgage loans on an accrual basis, except when we believe the collection of principal or interest is
doubtful. See ""Non-Performing Loans'' for additional information.

Held-for-sale mortgages are reported at lower-of-cost-or-market, on a portfolio basis, with gains and losses reported in
Gains (losses) on investment activity. Premiums and discounts on loans classiÑed as held-for-sale are not amortized during
the period that such loans are classiÑed as held-for-sale. For a description of how we determine the fair value of our held-
for-sale mortgage loans, see ""NOTE 16: FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES.''

Mortgage loans that we have the ability and intent to hold for the foreseeable future or to maturity are classiÑed as held-
for-investment. These mortgage loans are reported at their outstanding principal balances, net of deferred fees (including
premiums and discounts). These deferred items are amortized into interest income over the estimated lives of the
mortgages using the eÅective interest method. We use actual prepayment experience and estimates of future prepayments to
determine the constant yield needed to apply the eÅective interest method. For purposes of estimating future prepayments,
the mortgages are aggregated by similar characteristics such as origination date, coupon and maturity.

Reserves for Losses on Mortgage Loans Held-for-Investment and Losses on PCs

We maintain a reserve for losses on mortgage loans held-for-investment to provide for credit losses inherent in that

portfolio. We also maintain a reserve for guarantee losses on PCs to provide for credit losses inherent in mortgages underlying
PCs or Structured Securities held by third parties. The reserve for losses on mortgage loans held-for-investment and the
reserve for guarantee losses on PCs and Structured Securities held by third parties are collectively referred to as ""loan loss
reserves.'' Increases in loan loss reserves are reÖected in earnings as a component of the Provision for credit losses.
Decreases in loan loss reserves are reÖected through (a) charging-oÅ such balances (net of recoveries) when realized losses
are recorded or (b) a reduction in the Provision for credit losses.

Upon sale of PCs or Structured Securities, we re-establish a Guarantee obligation, which includes the consideration of
inherent credit losses. Also, upon sale, we recognize incurred losses as a component of Gains (losses) on investment activity.

Single-family loan portfolio Ì We estimate credit losses on homogeneous pools of single-family loans using statisti-
cally-based models that evaluate a variety of factors. The homogeneous pools of single-family mortgage loans are determined
based on common underlying characteristics, including year of origination, loan-to-value ratio and geographic region. In
determining the loan loss reserves for impaired single-family loans at the balance sheet date, we evaluate factors including:

‚ the year of loan origination;

‚ geographic location;

‚ actual and estimated amounts for loss severity trends for similar loans;

‚ default experience;

‚ expected proceeds from credit enhancements;

‚ pre-foreclosure real estate taxes and insurance; and

‚ estimated costs should the underlying property ultimately be foreclosed upon and sold.

Our best estimate of each of these factors is used to estimate the amount of our probable loss at the balance sheet date.

Favorable trends in these factors decrease our estimate of probable losses, while negative trends increase our estimate.

We frequently validate and update the models and factors to capture changes in actual loss experience, as well as
changes in underwriting practices and in our loss mitigation strategies. We also consider macroeconomic and other factors
including regional housing trends, applicable home price indices, unemployment and employment dislocation trends,
consumer credit statistics, recent changes in credit underwriting practices, the extent of third party insurance, and other
measurable factors that inÖuence the quality of the portfolio at the balance sheet date. We then adjust the loan loss reserves
to the level required based on our best assessment of these factors.

Multifamily loan portfolio Ì We estimate credit losses on the multifamily loan portfolio based on all available
evidence, including adequacy of third-party credit enhancements, evaluation of the repayment prospects, and fair value of
collateral underlying the individual loans. The review of the repayment prospects and value of collateral underlying
individual loans is based on property-speciÑc and market-level risk characteristics including apartment vacancy rates,
apartment rental rates, and property sales information. Loans individually evaluated for impairment include loans that
become 60 days past due for principal and interest, certain loans with observable collateral deÑciencies and loans whose
contractual terms were modiÑed due to credit concerns. When loan loss reserves for individual loans are established,
consideration is given to all available evidence, such as the present value of discounted expected future cash Öows, fair value
of collateral, and credit enhancements.

106

Freddie Mac

Non-Performing Loans

Non-performing loans consist of: (a) loans whose terms have been modiÑed due to previous delinquency or risk of

delinquency and, therefore, are now considered part of our impaired loan population, referred to as ""troubled debt
restructurings,'' (b) serious delinquencies and (c) non-accrual loans. Serious delinquencies are those single-family loans that
are 90 days or more past due or in foreclosure, and multifamily loans that are more than 60 days but less than 90 days past
due. This category also includes multifamily loans that are 90 days or more past due but where principal and interest are
being paid to us under the terms of a credit enhancement agreement. Non-performing loans generally accrue interest in
accordance with their contractual terms unless they are in non-accrual status. Non-accrual loans are loans where interest
income is recognized on a cash basis, and only include multifamily loans 90 days or more past due. For non-accrual loans,
any existing accruals are reversed against interest income unless they are both well secured and in the process of collection.
For single-family retained and repurchased mortgage loans, interest income is accrued; however, we begin to fully reserve
for accrued interest on these loans after a mortgage becomes 90 days past due. For single-family loans underlying
outstanding PCs and Structured Securities held by third parties, we reserve for lost interest using a statistically based model.

Impaired loans include single-family loans, both performing and non-performing, that are troubled debt restructurings

and delinquent loans purchased from PC pools whose fair value was less than acquisition cost at the date of purchase.
Multifamily impaired loans are deÑned as performing and non-performing troubled debt restructurings, loans 60 days or
more past due (except for certain credit-enhanced loans) and certain mortgage loans with real estate collateral values less
than  the  outstanding  unpaid  principal  balances.  See  ""Table  6.2 Ì Impaired  Loans''  in  ""NOTE  6:  LOAN  LOSS
RESERVES'' for further discussion.

We have the option to purchase mortgage loans out of PC pools under certain circumstances, such as to resolve an

existing or impending delinquency or default. Our general practice is to purchase the mortgage loans out of pools after the
loans are 120 days delinquent. Loans that are purchased from PC pools held by third parties are recorded on our
consolidated balance sheets at fair value at the date of purchase and are subsequently carried at amortized cost. Loans
purchased out of PC pools held in the Retained portfolio are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets at the adjusted cost
basis. Increases in market interest rates and declining market values for delinquent loans resulted in all loans purchased out
of PC pools during 2006 being classiÑed as impaired loans. We record realized losses on certain guaranteed loans when the
fair value is less than the unpaid principal balance, net of related reserves, as of the date of our repurchase. For loans that
later re-perform, a portion of the valuation discount applied when the loan was repurchased will be accreted back into
income over the estimated life of the loan.

Charge-OÅs

The loan loss reserves are reduced for charge-oÅs when a loss is speciÑcally identiÑed. For both single-family and
multifamily mortgages where the original terms of the mortgage loan agreement are modiÑed for economic or legal reasons
related to the borrower's Ñnancial diÇculties, losses are recorded at the time of modiÑcation and the loans are subsequently
accounted for as troubled debt restructurings. For mortgages that are foreclosed upon and thus transferred to Real estate
owned, net, or REO, or are involved in a pre-foreclosure sale, losses at the time of transfer or pre-foreclosure sale are
charged-oÅ against Reserve for losses on mortgage loans held-for-investment. For transfers to REO, losses arise when the
carrying basis of the loan (including accrued interest) exceeds the fair value of the foreclosed property (after deduction for
estimated selling costs and consideration of third-party insurance or other credit enhancements). REO gains arise and are
recognized immediately in earnings when the fair market value of the acquired asset (after deduction for estimated
disposition costs) exceeds the carrying value of the mortgage (including accrued interest). REO gains and losses subsequent
to foreclosure are included in REO operations income (expense).

Investments in Securities

Investments in securities consist primarily of mortgage-related securities. We classify securities as ""available-for-sale''
or ""trading.'' We currently do not classify any securities as ""held-to-maturity'' although we may elect to do so in the future.
Securities classiÑed as available-for-sale and trading are reported at fair value with changes in fair value included in AOCI
and Gains (losses) on investment activity, respectively. See ""NOTE 16: FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES'' for more
information on how we determine the fair value of securities.

We  record  forward  purchases  and  sales  of  securities  that  are  speciÑcally  exempt  from  the  requirements  of

SFAS No. 133, ""Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,'' or SFAS 133, on a trade date basis.
Securities underlying forward purchases and sales contracts that are not exempt from the requirements of SFAS 133 are
recorded on the contractual settlement date with a corresponding commitment recorded on the trade date.

107

Freddie Mac

We often retain Structured Securities created through resecuritizations of mortgage-related securities held by us. The

new Structured Securities we acquire in these transactions are classiÑed as available-for-sale or trading based upon the
predominant classiÑcation of the mortgage-related security collateral we contributed.

For most of our investments in securities, interest income is recognized using the retrospective eÅective interest method.

Deferred items, including premiums, discounts and other basis adjustments, are amortized into interest income over the
estimated lives of the securities. We use actual prepayment experience and estimates of future prepayments to determine the
constant yield needed to apply the eÅective interest method. We recalculate the constant eÅective yield based on changes in
estimated prepayments as a result of changes in interest rates and other factors. When the constant eÅective yield changes,
an adjustment to interest income is made for the amount of amortization that would have been recorded if the new eÅective
yield had been applied since the mortgage assets were acquired.

For certain securities investments, interest income is recognized using the prospective eÅective interest method. We
speciÑcally apply this accounting to beneÑcial interests in securitized Ñnancial assets that (a) can contractually be prepaid or
otherwise settled in such a way that we may not recover substantially all of our recorded investment (such as interest-only
strips) or (b) are not of high credit quality at the acquisition date. We recognize as interest income (over the life of these
securities) the excess of all estimated cash Öows attributable to these interests over their principal amount using the
eÅective yield method. We update our estimates of expected cash Öows periodically and recognize changes in calculated
eÅective yield on a prospective basis.

We review securities for potential impairment on an ongoing basis. We consider a number of factors, including the

severity of the decline in fair value, credit ratings, the length of time the investment has been in an unrealized loss position
and the likelihood of sale in the near term. We also recognize impairment when qualitative factors indicate that it is likely
we will not recover the unrealized loss. When evaluating these factors, we consider our intent and ability to hold the
investment until a point in time at which recovery of the unrealized loss can be reasonably expected to occur. Impairment
losses on manufactured housing securities exclude the eÅects of separate Ñnancial guarantee contracts that are not
embedded in the securities because the beneÑts of such contracts are not recognized until claims become probable of
recovery under the contracts. We resecuritize securities held in the Retained portfolio and we typically retain the majority of
the cash Öows from resecuritization transactions in the form of Structured Securities. Certain securities in the Retained
portfolio have a high probability of being resecuritized and therefore, for those in an unrealized loss position, we may not
have the intent to hold for a period of time suÇcient to recover those unrealized losses. In that case, the impairment is
deemed other-than-temporary. For certain securities meeting the criteria of (a) or (b) in the preceding paragraph, other-
than-temporary impairment is deÑned as occurring whenever there is an adverse change in estimated future cash Öows
coupled with a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis. When a security is deemed to be other-than-temporarily
impaired, the cost basis of the security is written down to fair value, with the loss recorded to Gains (losses) on investment
activity. Based on the new cost basis, the adjusted deferred amounts related to the impaired security are amortized over the
security's remaining life in a manner consistent with the amount and timing of the future estimated cash Öows. The security
cost basis is not changed for subsequent recoveries in fair value.

Gains and losses on the sale of securities are included in Gains (losses) on investment activity, including those gains

(losses) reclassiÑed into earnings from AOCI. We use the speciÑc identiÑcation method for determining the cost of a
security in computing the gain or loss.

Repurchase and Resale Agreements

We enter into repurchase and resale agreements primarily as an investor or to Ñnance our security positions. Such
transactions are accounted for as purchases and sales when the transferor relinquishes control over transferred securities and
as secured Ñnancings when the transferor does not relinquish control. Our policy is to take possession of securities purchased
under agreements to resell and reverse dollar roll transactions.

Debt Securities Issued

Debt securities that we issue are classiÑed as either due within one year or due after one year, based on their remaining
contractual maturity. The classiÑcation of interest expense on debt securities as either short-term or long-term is based on
the original contractual maturity of the debt security. Deferred items, including premiums, discounts, issuance costs and
hedging-related basis adjustments, are amortized and reported through interest expense using the eÅective interest method
over the contractual life of the related indebtedness. The balance of deferred items remaining when debt is extinguished prior
to its contractual maturity is reÖected in earnings in the period of extinguishment as a component of Gains (losses) on debt
retirement. Prior to 2005, for callable debt, deferred items were amortized over the period during which the related
indebtedness was expected to be outstanding and changes in the expected life were reÖected prospectively as an adjustment

108

Freddie Mac

to the eÅective yield on the debt. Amortization of hedging-related basis adjustments is initiated upon the termination of the
related hedge relationship. Amortization of premiums, discounts and issuance costs begins at the time of debt issuance.

Premiums, discounts and hedging-related basis adjustments are reported as a component of Debt securities, net.
Issuance costs are reported as a component of Other assets. Debt securities denominated in a foreign currency are translated
into U.S. dollars using foreign exchange spot rates at the balance sheet dates and any translation gains or losses are reported
in Non-interest income (loss) Ì Other income.

Contemporaneous transfers of cash between us and a creditor in connection with the issuance of a new debt obligation
and satisfaction of an existing debt obligation are accounted for as extinguishments, with recognition of any gains or losses in
earnings if the debt instruments have substantially diÅerent terms. If the debt instruments do not have substantially
diÅerent terms, the transaction is accounted for as an exchange rather than an extinguishment and the fees associated with
the new debt obligation, along with the existing unamortized premium or discount, concession fees and hedge gains and
losses on the existing debt obligation, are considered a basis adjustment on the new debt obligation and are amortized as an
adjustment of interest expense over the remaining term of the new debt obligation.

Derivatives

Derivatives are reported at their fair value on our consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of derivatives is generally

reported net by counterparty, provided that a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists. Derivatives in a net
unrealized gain position are reported as Derivative assets, at fair value. Similarly, derivatives in a net unrealized loss position
are reported as Derivative liabilities, at fair value.

At December 31, 2006 nearly all of our derivatives were not designated in hedge accounting relationships. For those
derivatives not designated as an accounting hedge, fair value gains and losses are reported as Derivative gains (losses) in
the consolidated statements of income. For purchase and sale commitments of securities classiÑed as trading, fair value gains
and losses are reported as Gains (losses) on investment activity on our consolidated statements of income.

Subject to certain qualifying conditions, we may designate a derivative as either a hedge of the cash Öows of a variable-

rate instrument or forecasted transaction, referred to as a cash Öow hedge; a hedge of the fair value of a Ñxed-rate
instrument, referred to as a fair value hedge; or a foreign-currency fair value or cash Öow hedge, referred to as a foreign-
currency hedge. In order to be designated as an accounting hedge, the derivative must be expected to be highly eÅective in
oÅsetting the changes in cash Öows or fair value of the hedged item resulting from the hedged risk. In addition, the
documentation of the hedging designation must include identiÑcation of the hedged item, the hedging instrument, the risk
exposure and corresponding risk management objective, how eÅectiveness will be assessed and how ineÅectiveness will be
measured.

For a derivative accounted for as a cash Öow hedge, we report changes in the fair value of these instruments in AOCI to

the extent the hedge is eÅective. The remaining ineÅective portion is reported as Hedge accounting gains (losses). In
general, we recognize the associated amounts reported in AOCI as Net interest income during the period or periods in which
the hedged item aÅects earnings. Deferred amounts linked to interest payments on long-term debt are recorded as long-
term debt interest expense and amounts not linked to interest payments on long-term debt are recorded in Income (expense)
related to derivatives. Amounts reported in AOCI related to changes in the fair value of commitments to purchase or sell
securities that are designated as cash Öow hedges are recognized as basis adjustments to the assets held which are
amortized in earnings as interest income using the eÅective interest method and, for assets sold, as Gains (losses) on
investment activity.

If the hedged item in a cash Öow hedge is the forecasted issuance of debt and the occurrence of the forecasted
transaction becomes probable of not occurring, the amount in AOCI is reclassiÑed to earnings immediately. If we expect at
any time that continued reporting of a net loss in AOCI would lead to recognizing a net loss on the combination of a hedging
instrument and the hedged transaction (and related asset acquired or liability incurred) in one or more future periods, the
loss is reclassiÑed immediately into earnings for the amount that is not expected to be recovered.

For a derivative accounted for as a fair value hedge, we report changes in the fair value of the derivative as Hedge

accounting gains (losses) along with the changes in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged.
Any diÅerence between these two amounts results in ineÅectiveness recognized in the income statement. When the hedge is
terminated or redesignated, the fair value adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged asset or liability is amortized to
earnings as a component of the hedged item's interest income or expense over the remaining life of the hedged item using
the eÅective interest method. If a derivative no longer qualiÑes as a cash Öow or fair value hedge, or if we voluntarily
terminate the hedging relationship, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively. We continue to carry the derivative on
our consolidated balance sheets at fair value and record further fair value gains and losses as Derivative gains (losses) in
our consolidated statements of income until the derivative is terminated or redesignated.

109

Freddie Mac

The periodic interest cash Öows related to derivative contracts currently accrued, which are derived primarily from
interest-rate swap contracts and include imputed interest on zero-coupon swaps, are classiÑed as Income (expense) related
to derivatives for derivatives in hedge relationships and as Derivative gains (losses) for derivatives not in hedge accounting
relationships.

Real Estate Owned

REO is initially recorded at fair value, net of estimated disposition costs and is subsequently carried at the lower-of-
cost-or-market. Amounts we expect to receive from third-party insurance or other credit enhancements are recorded when
the asset is acquired. The receivable is adjusted when the actual claim is Ñled, and is a component of Accounts and other
receivables, net on our consolidated balance sheets. Material development and improvement costs relating to REO are
capitalized. Operating expenses on the properties, net of any rental or other income, are included in REO operations income
(expense). Estimated declines in REO fair value that result from ongoing valuation of the properties are provided for and
charged to REO operations income (expense) when identiÑed. Any gains and losses on REO dispositions are included in
REO operations income (expense).

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, ""Accounting for
Income Taxes.'' Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based upon the expected future tax
consequences of existing temporary diÅerences between the Ñnancial reporting and the tax reporting basis of assets and
liabilities using enacted statutory tax rates. To the extent tax laws change, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted,
when necessary, in the period that the tax change is enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax
assets when it is more likely than not that a tax beneÑt will not be realized. For all periods presented, no such valuation
allowance was deemed necessary by our management. Reserves are recorded for income tax contingencies and related
contingent interest where the potential for loss is probable and reasonably estimable in accordance with SFAS 5.

Income tax expense includes (a) deferred tax expense, which represents the net change in the deferred tax asset or

liability balance during the year plus any change in a valuation allowance and (b) current tax expense, which represents the
amount of tax currently payable to or receivable from a tax authority plus amounts accrued for expected tax deÑciencies
(including tax and related interest and penalties). Income tax expense excludes the tax eÅects related to adjustments
recorded to equity as well as the tax eÅects of the cumulative eÅect of changes in accounting principles.

Stock-Based Compensation

We record compensation expense for stock-based compensation awards based on the grant-date fair value of the award

and expected forfeitures. Compensation expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to
provide service in exchange for the stock-based compensation award. The recorded compensation expense is accompanied
by an adjustment to Additional paid-in capital on our consolidated balance sheets. The vesting period for stock-based
compensation awards is generally three to Ñve years for options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. The vesting period
for the option to purchase stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, is three months. See ""NOTE 11:
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION'' for additional information.

The fair value of options to purchase shares of our common stock, including options issued pursuant to the ESPP, is

estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into account the exercise price and an estimate of the
expected life of the option, the market value of the underlying stock, expected volatility, expected dividend yield, and the
risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the option. The fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards is
based on the fair value of our common stock on the grant date.

Incremental compensation expense related to the modiÑcation of awards is based on a comparison of the fair value of
the modiÑed award with the fair value of the original award before modiÑcation. We generally expect to settle our stock-
based compensation awards in shares. In limited cases, an award may be cash-settled upon a contingent event such as
involuntary termination. These awards are accounted for as an equity award until the contingency becomes probable of
occurring, when the award is reclassiÑed from equity to a liability. We initially measure the cost of employee service received
in exchange for a stock-based compensation award of liability instruments based on the fair value of the award at the grant
date. The fair value of that award is remeasured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date. Changes
in the fair value during the service period are recognized as compensation cost over that period.

Excess tax beneÑts are recognized in Additional paid-in capital. Cash retained as a result of the excess tax beneÑts is
presented in the consolidated statements of cash Öows as Ñnancing cash inÖows. The write-oÅ of deferred tax assets relating
to unrealized tax beneÑts associated with recognized compensation costs reduces Additional paid-in capital to the extent
there are excess tax beneÑts from previous stock-based awards remaining in Additional paid-in capital, with any remainder
reported as part of income tax expense.

Earnings Per Common Share

Because we have participating securities, we use the ""two-class'' method of computing earnings per common share. The
""two-class'' method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating
securities based on dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Our participating securities consist
of vested options to purchase common stock that earn dividend equivalents at the same rate when and as declared on
common stock.

Basic earnings per common share is computed as net income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted
average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is determined using the weighted
average number of common shares during the period, adjusted for the dilutive eÅect of common stock equivalents. Dilutive
common stock equivalents reÖect the assumed net issuance of additional common shares pursuant to certain of our stock-
based compensation plans that could potentially dilute earnings per common share.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is the change in equity, on a net of tax basis, resulting from transactions and other events and

circumstances from non-owner sources during a period. It includes all changes in equity during a period, except those
resulting from investments by stockholders. We deÑne comprehensive income as consisting of net income plus changes in
the unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, the eÅective portion of derivatives accounted for as cash Öow
hedge relationships, changes in the minimum pension liability, and changes in components of pension liability that receive
deferred expense recognition.

Reportable Segments

We have one business segment for Ñnancial reporting purposes under SFAS No. 131, ""Disclosures About Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information,'' or SFAS 131, for all periods presented on our consolidated Ñnancial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Ì EÅective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 123(R), ""Share-Based
Payment,'' or SFAS 123(R), which requires compensation expense for stock options and other share-based payments to be
measured based on the instruments' grant-date fair value, and for the expense to be recorded based on the fair value reduced
by expected forfeitures. We adopted this standard by using the modiÑed prospective method of transition which requires
the provisions of SFAS 123(R) to be applied to new awards as well as awards modiÑed, repurchased or cancelled after the
eÅective date. In adopting SFAS 123(R), we recognized compensation expense for stock-based compensation awards net
of estimated forfeitures. Previously, the eÅects of forfeitures were recorded as they occurred. The eÅect of adopting
SFAS 123(R) did not have a material impact on our consolidated Ñnancial statements.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections Ì On January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 154, ""Accounting Changes

and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3,'' or SFAS 154. SFAS 154
changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. It applies to all voluntary
changes  in  accounting  principle  and  changes  required  by  an  accounting  pronouncement  in  the  instance  that  the
pronouncement does not include speciÑc transition provisions. APB Opinion No. 20, ""Accounting Changes,'' or APB 20,
requires that the cumulative eÅect of most voluntary changes in accounting principles be included in net income in the
period of adoption. The new statement requires retrospective application to prior periods' Ñnancial statements of a voluntary
change in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either period-speciÑc eÅects or the cumulative eÅect
of the change. SFAS 154 is eÅective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in Ñscal years beginning after
December 15, 2005. Our adoption of SFAS 154 did not have a material impact on our consolidated Ñnancial statements.

Accounting for Employers' DeÑned BeneÑt Pension and Other Postretirement Plans Ì On December 31, 2006, we
adopted SFAS 158. In accordance with this standard, on December 31, 2006, we recorded the funded status of each of our
deÑned  beneÑt  pension  and  postretirement  plans  as  an  asset  or  liability  on  our  consolidated  balance  sheet  with  a
corresponding oÅset, net of taxes, recorded in AOCI within Stockholders' Equity. See ""Table 1.2 Ì Change in Accounting
for DeÑned BeneÑt Plans Ì Impact on Financial Statements.''

EÅective December 31, 2008, SFAS 158 also requires our deÑned beneÑt plan assets and obligations to be measured as
of the date of our consolidated balance sheet. We expect that the eÅect of implementing the change in measurement date
from September 30 to December 31 will not be material to our Ñnancial condition or our results of operations.

Determining Variability in Applying FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) Ì EÅective July 1, 2006, we adopted FASB StaÅ
Position No. FIN 46(R)-6, ""Determining the Variability to Be Considered in Applying FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),''
or FSP FIN 46(R)-6. The adoption of FSP FIN 46(R)-6 was not material to our Ñnancial condition or results of
operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards, Not Yet Adopted

Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments Ì In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, ""Accounting for

Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140,'' or SFAS 155, with further
guidance provided in Derivatives Implementation Group (DIG) Issue B-40 ""Embedded Derivatives: Application of
Paragraph  13(b)  to  Securitized  Interests  in  Prepayable  Financial  Assets,''  or  DIG  B-40.  These  statements  amend
SFAS 133 and SFAS 140. The objective of these statements is to simplify the accounting for certain hybrid Ñnancial
instruments, permitting fair value measurement for any hybrid Ñnancial instrument with an embedded derivative that
otherwise would require bifurcation. In addition, these statements establish a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized
Ñnancial assets to identify instruments that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid Ñnancial instruments that contain
an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. SFAS 155 is eÅective for all Ñnancial instruments acquired or issued after
the beginning of an entity's Ñrst Ñscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Because SFAS 155 is to be adopted
prospectively, it will not result in a cumulative eÅect of a change in accounting principle. In connection with the adoption of
this accounting standard, we will elect to measure, at fair value, newly acquired interests in securitized Ñnancial assets that
contain embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation with periodic market adjustments reÖected in the income statement.
We expect the amount of our securities that will be impacted by SFAS 155 will be minimal.

Fair Value Measurements Ì In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, ""Fair Value Measurements,'' or

SFAS 157. This statement deÑnes fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit
fair value measurements but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not a Ñnancial asset or liability is carried at
fair value. SFAS 157 is eÅective for Ñnancial statements issued for Ñscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with
earlier adoption permitted. We do not plan to elect early adoption and are currently evaluating the eÅect of SFAS 157 on our
Ñnancial position and results of operations. We do not believe the implementation will likely result in a material diÅerence
to our fair value measurements.

The  Fair  Value  Option  for  Financial  Assets  and  Financial  Liabilities Ì In  February  2007,  the  FASB  issued
SFAS No. 159, ""The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115,'' or SFAS 159. This statement permits companies to choose to measure certain Ñnancial assets and
liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings as they occur. The objective is to improve Ñnancial
reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to measure both assets and liabilities at fair value without having to
apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is eÅective as of the beginning of an entity's Ñrst Ñscal year beginning
after November 15, 2007, with earlier adoption permitted. We do not plan to elect early adoption and are still evaluating
how we will adopt SFAS 159. We have not yet determined the impact, if any, on our consolidated Ñnancial statements of
adopting this standard.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes Ì In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB,
issued Interpretation No. 48, ""Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,''
or FIN 48. FIN 48 provides a single model to address accounting for uncertainty in tax positions and clariÑes the
accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being
recognized in the Ñnancial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classiÑcation,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is eÅective for Ñscal years beginning
after December 15, 2006. We will adopt FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, as required. The cumulative eÅect of adopting
FIN 48 will be recorded to retained earnings. We do not anticipate this interpretation will have a material impact on our
retained earnings. We have determined that adoption of FIN 48 will result in an overall increase to our retained earnings
primarily as a result of a gain contingency for which we have not recognized a Ñnancial statement beneÑt.

NOTE 2: TRANSFERS OF SECURITIZED INTERESTS IN MORTGAGE-RELATED ASSETS

Securitization Transactions We Executed

As discussed in ""NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,'' we issue two types of

mortgage-related securities: PCs and Structured Securities.

$1,335,524

(1) Excludes mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities traded, but not yet settled. Due to timing diÅerences in our receipt of principal and interest
payments from mortgage servicers and subsequent pass-through of payments to PC investors, the unpaid principal balances of the underlying
mortgage loans do not equal the unpaid principal balances of issued PCs and Structured Securities. See ""NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES Ì Due to Participation CertiÑcate Investors'' for more information.

(2) As further discussed in ""NOTE 4: FINANCIAL GUARANTEES,'' we guarantee certain mortgage-related securities issued by third parties.

Guaranteed PCs and Structured Securities exclude $1,240.2 billion and $961.8 billion at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, of Structured
Securities backed by resecuritized PCs and other previously issued Structured Securities. These excluded Structured Securities do not increase our
credit-related exposure and consist of single-class and multi-class Structured Securities backed by PCs, Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits,
or REMICs, and principal-only strips. The notional balance of interest-only strips is excluded because this table is based on unpaid principal balances.
Also excluded are modiÑable and combinable REMIC tranches and interest and principal classes where the holder has the option to exchange the
security tranches for other pre-deÑned security tranches.

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, approximately 94 percent and 92 percent, respectively, of issued PCs and Structured

Securities (excluding securities we issued that are backed by Ginnie Mae CertiÑcates) had a corresponding Guarantee
asset, Guarantee obligation or PC residual recognized on our consolidated balance sheets. With respect to such securities
held by third parties at December 31, 2006 and 2005, 95 percent and 93 percent, respectively, had a related Guarantee asset
and Guarantee obligation established.

Of those issued PCs and Structured Securities that had a corresponding Guarantee asset, Guarantee obligation or PC

residual at December 31, 2006 and 2005, 57 percent and 50 percent, respectively, were issued in Ñnancial guarantee
transactions, while the rest of those securities were issued as a result of sales or secured borrowing transactions.

Gains and Losses on Transfers of PCs and Structured Securities that are Accounted for as Sales

We recognized net pre-tax gains of approximately $86 million, $364 million and $356 million for the years ended
December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, on transfers of PCs and Structured Securities that were accounted for as
sales under SFAS 140.

In connection with the derivation of such gains (losses) upon sale prior to October 1, 2005, we had consistently applied

a methodology for determining the order in which to record extinguishments of unamortized deferred guarantee income,
buy-down fees and credit fees as adjustments to the carrying value of the repurchased securities. Beginning October 1, 2005,
we changed our methodology for determining gains (losses) upon the re-sale of PCs and Structured Securities related to
unamortized  deferred  guarantee  income,  buy-down  fees  and  credit  fees.  Our  methodology  now  applies  a  speciÑc
identiÑcation method of associating the extinguished deferred guarantee income, buy-down fees and credit fees to the
speciÑc portions of purchased PCs and Structured Securities and relieves those carrying value adjustments through gains
(losses) when the speciÑc portion of the PC or Structured Security is re-sold. This change in accounting principle was
facilitated by system changes that allow us to apply and track the carrying value adjustments to the speciÑc portions of the
purchased PCs and Structured Securities.

Valuation of Recognized Guarantee Asset, Guarantee Obligation and PC Residuals

Recognized Guarantee asset

Our approach for estimating the fair value of the Guarantee asset makes use of third-party market data as practicable.

For approximately 75 percent of the fair value of the Guarantee asset, the valuation approach involves obtaining dealer
quotes on proxy securities with collateral similar to aggregated characteristics of our portfolio, eÅectively equating the
Guarantee asset with current, or ""spot,'' market values for excess servicing interest-only, or IO, securities, which trade at a
discount to trust IO security prices. We consider excess servicing securities to be comparable to the Guarantee asset, in that
they represent an IO-like income stream, have less liquidity than trust IO securities and do not have matching principal-
only securities. The remaining 25 percent of the fair value of the Guarantee asset related to underlying loan products for
which comparable market prices were not readily available. This portion of the Guarantee asset was valued using an expected

113

Freddie Mac

cash Öow approach with market input assumptions extracted from the dealer quotes provided on the more liquid products,
reduced by an estimated liquidity discount.

For 2004, we calculated the Guarantee asset fair value using an expected cash Öow approach. SpeciÑcally, Monte Carlo
projections were used to forecast Guarantee asset-related future cash Öows. The forecasted cash Öows were then discounted
using factors that were derived from modeled forward interest rates for each scenario path, to which we then applied a
trailing average option-adjusted spread of up to 24 months that was based on trust IO security prices.

Recognized Guarantee obligation
Our approach for estimating the fair value of the Guarantee obligation makes use of third-party market data as
practicable. We divided the credit aspects of our Guarantee obligation portfolio into three primary components: performing
loans, non-performing loans and manufactured housing. For each component, we developed a speciÑc valuation approach
for capturing its unique characteristics.

For performing loans, we use capital markets information and rating agency models to estimate subordination levels and
dealer price quotes on proxy securities with collateral characteristics matched to our portfolio to value the expected credit
losses and the risk premium for unexpected losses related to our guarantee portfolio. We segmented the portfolio into
distinct loan cohorts to diÅerentiate between product types, coupon rate, seasoning, and interests retained by us versus those
held by third parties.

Because typical structured securitizations of single-family collateral only include performing loans, we utilize a separate

method for estimating the fair value of the Guarantee obligation for non-performing loans. For loans that are extremely
delinquent and have been purchased out of pools, we obtained dealer indications that reÖect their non-performing status. To
value delinquent loans remaining in PCs, we started with the market driven performing loan and non-performing whole loan
values and used empirically observed delinquency transition rates to interpolate the appropriate values in each phase of
delinquency (i.e., 30 days, 60 days, 90 days).

We evaluated market sources to determine the appropriate credit costs associated with the Guarantee obligation for the
manufactured housing portfolio, approximately 1 percent of our total guarantee portfolio and 19 percent of the fair value of
the Guarantee obligation, and determined that there is not suÇciently reliable market data. As a result, we used our
judgment to develop an alternative approach for estimating the incremental credit costs associated with the manufactured
housing portfolio. SpeciÑcally, we calculated the ratio of realized credit losses for performing loans and manufactured
housing loans to determine a loss history ratio. We then applied the loss history ratio to market implied performing loan
Guarantee obligation fair value estimates to calculate the implied credit costs for the manufactured housing portfolio. This
approach grounded the Guarantee obligation related to manufactured housing in performing loan market prices, while
adjusting for the loss history reÖected in empirical data. We undertook a similar process for estimating the fair value of
seriously delinquent manufactured housing loans.

The components of the Guarantee obligation associated with administering the collection and distribution of payments

on the mortgage loans underlying a PC are estimated based upon amounts we believe other market participants would
charge. Finally, we use our models to estimate the present value of net cash Öows related to security program cycles. This
estimate is included in the Guarantee obligation valuation.

For 2004, the Guarantee obligation fair value was calculated using internal models to estimate future cash Öows using a

Monte Carlo simulation. The components of estimated cash Öows associated with the Guarantee obligation included
estimates of expected future credit losses using statistically based models that were benchmarked periodically to the non-
conforming loan, or jumbo, securitization market. For all periods our estimates included costs to administer the collection
and distribution of payments on the mortgage loans underlying a PC and considered net cash Öows due to security program
cycles.

Recognized PC residuals
The fair value of recognized PC residuals is determined in a manner that is consistent with the approach described

above for the recognized Guarantee asset and Guarantee obligation.

Key assumptions used in the valuation of the Guarantee asset
Table 2.2 summarizes the key assumptions associated with the fair value measurements of the recognized Guarantee
asset. The assumptions included in this table for 2004 relate to those used in our internal models. For 2006 and 2005, the fair
values  at  the  time  of  securitization  and  the  subsequent  fair  value  measurements  were  estimated  using  third  party
information. However, the assumptions included in this table for those years are those implied by our fair value estimates,
with the Internal Rates of Return, or IRRs, adjusted where necessary to align our internal models with estimated fair values
determined using third party information. Prepayment rates are presented as implied by our internal models which are
benchmarked periodically to market prepayment estimates.

At December 31, 2006, our Guarantee asset totaled $6,070 million on our consolidated balance sheets and of that
amount, approximately $5,905 million (or approximately 97 percent), related to PCs and Structured Securities backed by
single-family mortgage loans. The key assumptions utilized in fair value measurements of the Guarantee asset presented in
Table 2.2 and the sensitivity analysis presented in Table 2.3 and Table 2.4 relate solely to the Guarantee asset associated
with PCs and Structured Securities backed by single-family mortgage loans.

(1) The IRRs reported above represent an unpaid principal balance weighted average of the discount rates inherent in the fair value of the recognized

Guarantee asset.

(2) Average Prepayment rates are simulated on a monthly frequency, although rates reported above represent an unpaid principal balance weighted

average of annualized values of such Prepayment rates.

(3) The lowest value in each presented range represents the Ñrst percentile IRRs and prepayment rates throughout 2006, 2005 and 2004. Likewise, the

highest value in each range represents the 99th percentile IRRs and prepayment rates throughout 2006, 2005 and 2004.

(4) Reported values represent the weighted average value of all IRRs and prepayment rates throughout the 2006, 2005 and 2004 periods.

Weighted average lives of the Guarantee asset during 2006, 2005 and 2004 ranged between 1.7 and 9.0 years, 1.6 and
8.9 years, and 1.2 and 8.7 years, respectively, while the derived weighted average lives of the Guarantee asset for the same
periods were 5.5, 5.1 and 5.3 years, respectively. Such derived weighted average lives are reÖective of prepayment speed
assumptions cited in Table 2.2 above.

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the fair value of the recognized Guarantee asset was based upon a valuation approach

that incorporates market-based information. In order to report the hypothetical sensitivity of the carrying value of the
Guarantee asset to changes in key assumptions, we used internal models to approximate their reported carrying values. We
then measured the hypothetical impact of changes in key assumptions using our models to estimate the potential view of
fair value the market might have in response to those changes. In our models, the assumed Internal Rates of Return were
adjusted to calibrate our model results with the reported carrying value. However, the weighted average prepayment rate
assumption used in this hypothetical sensitivity was based on our internal model which is benchmarked periodically to
market prepayment estimates. The sensitivity analysis in Table 2.3 illustrates hypothetical adverse changes in the fair value
of the Guarantee asset for changes in key assumptions.

Guarantee asset associated with PCs backed by single-family mortgage loans.

Valuation of Other Retained Interests

Other retained interests include securities that were issued by us as part of a resecuritization transaction which was

recorded as a sale. The majority of these securities are classiÑed as available-for-sale. The fair value of Other retained
interests is generally based on independent price quotations obtained from third-party pricing services or dealer marks.

To report the hypothetical sensitivity of the carrying value of Other retained interests, we used internal models
calibrated to the fair values. The sensitivity analysis in Table 2.4 illustrates hypothetical adverse changes in the fair value of
Other retained interests for changes in key assumptions based on these models.

NOTE 3: VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

We are a party to numerous entities that are considered to be variable interest entities, or VIEs. A VIE is an entity
(a) that has a total equity investment at risk that is not suÇcient to Ñnance its activities without additional subordinated
Ñnancial support from other entities or (b) where the group of equity holders does not have the ability to make signiÑcant
decisions about the entity's activities, or obligation to absorb the entity's expected losses or right to receive the entity's
expected residual returns, or both. Our investments in VIEs include LIHTC partnerships, certain Structured Securities
transactions and a mortgage reinsurance entity. In addition, we buy the highly-rated senior securities in certain securitization
trusts that are VIEs. Highly-rated senior securities issued by these securitization trusts are not designed to absorb a
signiÑcant portion of the variability created by the assets/collateral in the trusts. Therefore, our investments in these
securities do not represent a signiÑcant variable interest in the securitization trusts and we do not consolidate them. Further,
we invest in securitization entities that are qualifying special purpose entities, which are not subject to consolidation because
of our inability to unilaterally liquidate or change the qualifying special purpose entity. See ""NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Ì Consolidation and Equity Method of Accounting'' for further informa-
tion regarding the consolidation practices of our VIEs.

We invest as a limited partner in LIHTC partnerships formed for the purpose of providing funding for aÅordable
multifamily rental properties. These LIHTC partnerships invest directly in limited partnerships that develop or rehabilitate
multifamily rental properties. Completed properties are rented to qualiÑed low-income tenants, allowing the properties to be
eligible for federal tax credits. Most of these LIHTC partnerships are VIEs. A general partner operates the partnership,
identifying investments and obtaining debt Ñnancing as needed to Ñnance partnership activities. Although these partnerships
generate operating losses, we realize a return on our investment through reductions in income tax expense that result from
tax credits and the deductibility of the operating losses of these partnerships. The partnership agreements are typically
structured to meet a required 15-year period of occupancy by qualiÑed low-income tenants. These investments were made
between 1989 and 2006. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, we did not guarantee any obligations of these partnerships and our
exposure was limited to the amount of our investments. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, we were the primary beneÑciary
of investments in six LIHTC partnerships and we consolidated these investments. The investors in the obligations of the
consolidated LIHTC partnerships have recourse only to the assets of those VIEs and do not have recourse to us.

VIEs Not Consolidated

Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Partnerships

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, we had unconsolidated investments in 179 and 168 LIHTC partnerships, respectively,
in which we had a signiÑcant variable interest. The size of these partnerships at December 31, 2006 and 2005, as measured
in total assets, was $8.9 billion and $8.1 billion, respectively. These partnerships are accounted for using the equity method,
as described in ""NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.'' As a limited partner, our
maximum exposure to loss equals the undiscounted book value of our equity investment. At December 31, 2006 and 2005,
our maximum exposure to loss on unconsolidated LIHTC partnerships, in which we had a signiÑcant variable interest, was
$3.7 billion and $3.7 billion, respectively.

Asset-Backed Investment Trusts

We invest in a variety of non-mortgage-related, asset-backed investment trusts. These investments represent interests in

trusts consisting of a pool of receivables or other Ñnancial assets, typically credit card receivables, auto loans or student
loans. These trusts act as vehicles to allow originators to securitize assets. Securities are structured from the underlying pool
of assets to provide for varying degrees of risk. Primary risks include potential loss from the credit risk and interest-rate risk
of the underlying pool. The originators of the Ñnancial assets or the underwriters of the deal create the trusts and typically
own the residual interest in the trust assets. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, we did not have a signiÑcant variable interest
in and were not the primary beneÑciary of any asset-backed investment trusts.

Structured Transactions

We issue securities in Structured Transactions, which are backed by mortgage loans or mortgage-related securities using

collateral pools transferred to a trust speciÑcally created for the purpose of issuing securities. These trusts issue various
senior interests, subordinated interests or both. We purchase certain senior interests of the trusts and simultaneously issue
and guarantee Structured securities backed by these interests. The subordinated interests are generally either held by the
seller or other party or sold in the capital markets. Generally, the structure of the transactions and the trusts as qualifying
special purpose entities exempts them from the scope of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003),
""Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,'' or FIN 46(R). However, at both December 31, 2006 and 2005, we had
investments or guarantees related to two Structured Transactions that did not fall within this scope exception and in which
we had a signiÑcant variable interest. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, we were not the primary beneÑciary of any such
transactions.

Our involvement in the two Structured Transactions, mentioned above, began in 1996 and 2002, respectively. The size
of these two transactions at December 31, 2006 and 2005, as measured in total assets, was $67 million and $105 million,
respectively. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, our maximum exposure to loss on these transactions, in which we had a
signiÑcant variable interest, was $55 million and $88 million, respectively, consisting of the book value of our investments
plus incremental guarantees of the senior interests that are held by third parties.

Principal and Interest Guarantees of PCs and Structured Securities

NOTE 4: FINANCIAL GUARANTEES

We guarantee the payment of principal and interest on the PCs and Structured Securities we issue that are held by third

parties. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the maximum potential amount of future payments under these guarantees
approximates the total unpaid principal balance of our PCs and Structured Securities held by third parties, which was
$1,123 billion and $974 billion, respectively. However, the actual amount of future payments under these guarantees will be
determined by the performance of the mortgage loans that underlie these PCs and Structured Securities.

During 2006 and 2005, we guaranteed $360.0 billion and $397.9 billion, respectively, of PCs and Structured Securities
to third parties. Upon completion of the transfer of PCs or Structured Securities to third parties, we recognize the initial fair
value of our obligation to make guarantee payments. The accounting methods for our guarantees of PCs and Structured
Securities are further discussed in ""NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.'' At
December 31, 2006 and 2005, we had a recognized Guarantee obligation on our consolidated balance sheets of $7.1 billion
and $5.5 billion, respectively, which included $2.2 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, of deferred guarantee income. In
addition, we have a Reserve for guarantee losses on Participation CertiÑcates that totaled $350 million and $295 million at
December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, for incurred credit losses that were recognized in conjunction with PCs and
Structured Securities held by third parties. The balance of PCs and Structured Securities held by third parties also included
securities and loans issued by third parties that we guarantee totaling $6.7 billion and $6.6 billion at December 31, 2006 and
2005, respectively. Details of these guarantees are as follows:

‚ Multifamily: We guaranteed multifamily housing revenue bonds totaling $6.0 billion and $5.8 billion at Decem-
ber 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, via two principal forms. First, we provide a guarantee of the payment of principal
and interest on tax-exempt (and related taxable) multifamily housing revenue bonds that support pass-through
certiÑcates issued by third parties. These housing revenue bonds are collateralized by mortgage loans on low- and
moderate-income multifamily housing projects. Second, we provide a guarantee of principal and interest on
multifamily mortgage loans that are originated and held by state and municipal housing Ñnance agencies to support
tax-exempt (and related taxable) multifamily housing revenue bonds.

‚ Single-family: We  guaranteed  single-family  mortgage  loans  held  by  third  parties  totaling  $0.7  billion  and

$0.8 billion at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

As part of the guarantee arrangements pertaining to multifamily housing revenue bonds, we provided a commitment to
advance funds, commonly referred to as ""liquidity guarantees,'' totaling $5.8 billion and $5.7 billion at December 31, 2006
and 2005, respectively. These guarantees enable the repurchase by others of tendered tax-exempt (and related taxable)
pass-through certiÑcates and housing revenue bonds that are unable to be remarketed. Any repurchased securities would be
pledged to us to secure such funding until such time as the securities could be remarketed. We have not made any payments
to date under these liquidity guarantees.

Generally, the contractual terms of our guarantees on PCs and Structured Securities are 15 to 30 years. However, the
actual term of each guarantee may be signiÑcantly less than the contractual term due to the prepayment characteristics of
the mortgage-related assets that back PCs and Structured Securities. We generally purchase a defaulted mortgage when it
has been delinquent for 120 consecutive days, we do not expect the maximum potential interest payments we would be
required to make associated with these guarantees to signiÑcantly exceed 120 days of interest at the certiÑcate rate.

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, in connection with PCs or Structured Securities backed by single-family mortgage

loans, we had maximum coverage totaling $30.7 billion and $27.5 billion, respectively, in primary mortgage insurance,
$3.2 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively, in pool insurance and other credit enhancements and $8.9 billion and $5.6 billion,
respectively, in recourse to lenders. The coverage does not include credit enhancements related to the outstanding Structured
Transactions which had unpaid principal balances that totaled $7.8 billion and $8.6 billion, at December 31, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. In addition, at December 31, 2006 and 2005, $1.5 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, of outstanding
Structured Securities related to Ginnie Mae CertiÑcates, which are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
government. With respect to PCs and Structured Securities backed by multifamily mortgage loans, we had maximum
combined credit enhancements totaling $1.2 billion and $7.3 billion at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. At
December 31, 2006 and 2005, our recorded balance of credit enhancements on our consolidated balance sheets was
$466 million and $420 million, respectively.

Guarantees of Stated Final Maturity of Issued Structured Securities

We commonly issue Structured Securities with stated Ñnal maturities that are shorter than the stated maturity of the
underlying mortgage loans. If the assets that back such Structured Securities have not been purchased by a third party or
fully matured as of the stated Ñnal maturity date of such securities, we may sponsor an auction of the underlying assets. To

118

Freddie Mac

the extent that purchase or auction proceeds are insuÇcient to cover unpaid principal amounts due to investors in such
Structured Securities, we are obligated to fund such principal. Such guarantees of stated Ñnal maturity are accounted for as
derivative instruments.

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the maximum potential amount of payments we could be required to make under
guarantees of stated Ñnal maturity of issued Structured Securities was $22.7 billion and $11.7 billion, respectively, which
represents the outstanding unpaid principal balance of the underlying mortgage loans. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the
total fair value of recognized liabilities concerning such guarantees was $6 million and $2 million, respectively.

IndemniÑcations

In connection with various business transactions, we sometimes provide indemniÑcation to counterparties for breaches
of certain obligations (e.g., those arising from representations and warrantees) in contracts entered into in the normal course
of business. It is diÇcult to estimate our maximum exposure under these indemniÑcation arrangements because in many
cases there are no stated or notional amounts included in the indemniÑcation clauses. At December 31, 2006, our assessment
is that the risk of any material loss from such a claim for indemniÑcation is remote. Such indemniÑcation provisions pertain
to matters such as hold harmless clauses, adverse changes in tax laws, breaches of conÑdentiality, misconduct and potential
claims from third parties related to items such as actual or alleged infringement of intellectual property. We have not
recorded any liabilities related to these indemniÑcations on our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2006 and 2005
because there are no reasonably probable and estimable losses associated with these contracts.

Other Guarantees

We have guaranteed the performance of interest-rate swap contracts in three circumstances. First, as part of a
resecuritization transaction, we transferred certain swaps and related assets to a third party. We guaranteed that interest
income generated from the assets would be suÇcient to cover the required payments under the interest-rate swap contracts.
Second, we guaranteed that a borrower would perform under an interest-rate swap contract linked to a customer's variable-
rate  mortgage.  And  third,  in  connection  with  certain  Structured  Securities,  we  guaranteed  that  the  sponsor  of  the
securitized multifamily housing revenue bonds would perform under the interest-rate swap contract linked to the variable-
rate certiÑcates we issued, which are backed by the bonds. The maximum remaining terms of any of these guarantees at
December 31, 2006 and 2005 were 28 years and 29 years, respectively; however, the actual terms may be signiÑcantly less
than the contractual terms because the mortgage loans underlying the swaps are prepayable. The maximum potential
amount of future undiscounted payments under the guarantees was $779 million and $717 million at December 31, 2006 and
2005, respectively. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the total fair value of recognized liabilities concerning such guarantees
was $3 million and $2 million, respectively.

We provide guarantees to reimburse servicers for premiums paid to acquire servicing in situations where the original
seller is unable to perform under its separate servicing agreement. Our servicing-related premium guarantees are payable
according to a vesting schedule for up to Ñve years from the date of purchase of servicing rights. The maximum potential
amount  of  future  payments  under  these  servicing-related  premium  guarantees  was  $44  million  and  $54  million  at
December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We have not established a liability on our consolidated balance sheets at
December 31, 2006 and 2005 because we do not expect material amounts to be paid under these arrangements.

At December 31, 2006, gross unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities were $7,236 million, or approximately
2 percent of the fair value of such securities in an unrealized loss position, as noted in Table 5.2. The gross unrealized losses
relate to approximately 84 thousand individual lots representing approximately 16 thousand separate securities. We
routinely purchase multiple lots of individual securities at diÅerent times and at diÅerent costs. We determine gross
unrealized gains and gross unrealized losses by speciÑcally identifying investment positions at the lot level; therefore, some of
the lots we hold for a single security may be in an unrealized gain position while other lots for that security are in an
unrealized loss position, depending upon the amortized cost of the speciÑc lot.

We have the ability and intent to hold the available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position for a period of time
suÇcient to recover all unrealized losses. Based on our ability and intent to hold these available-for-sale securities and our
consideration of other factors described below, we have concluded that the impairment of these securities is temporary.

‚ Freddie Mac securities. The unrealized losses on our securities are primarily a result of movements in interest rates.
Because we guarantee the payment of principal and interest on these securities, we review the estimated credit
exposure of the mortgages underlying these securities in evaluating potential impairment. The extent and duration of
the decline in fair value relative to the amortized cost have met our criteria that are used to indicate that the
impairment of these securities is temporary.

‚ Federal National Mortgage Association, or Fannie Mae, securities and Obligations of states and political

subdivisions. The unrealized losses on Fannie Mae securities and Obligations of states and political subdivisions are
primarily a result of movements in interest rates. The extent and duration of the decline in fair value relative to the
amortized cost have met our criteria that are used to indicate that the impairment of these securities is temporary
and no other facts or circumstances existed to suggest that the decline was not temporary. The issuer guarantees
related to these securities have led us to conclude that any credit risk is minimal.

‚ Other securities in the Retained portfolio and Asset-backed securities in the Cash and investments portfolio. The
unrealized losses on mortgage-related securities included in Other and Asset-backed securities are principally a
result of movements in interest rates. The extent and duration of the decline in fair value relative to the amortized
cost have met our criteria that are used to indicate that the impairment of these securities is temporary. Most of
these securities are investment grade (i.e., rated BBB¿ or better on a Standard & Poor's, or S&P, or equivalent
scale).

(1) The weighted average yield is calculated based on a yield for each individual lot held at the balance sheet date. The numerator for the individual lot
yield consists of the sum of (a) the year-end interest coupon rate multiplied by the year-end unpaid principal balance and (b) the annualized
amortization income or expense calculated for December 2006 (excluding any adjustments recorded for changes in the eÅective rate). The
denominator for the individual lot yield consists of the year-end amortized cost of the lot excluding eÅects of other-than-temporary impairments on the
unpaid principal balances of impaired lots.

(2) Maturity information provided is based on contractual maturities, which may not represent expected life, as obligations underlying these securities may

be prepaid at any time without penalty.

Table 5.5 presents the changes in AOCI, net of taxes, related to available-for-sale securities. The Net unrealized
holding (losses), net of tax, represents the net fair value adjustments recorded on available-for-sale securities throughout the
year, after the eÅects of our statutory tax rate of 35 percent. The Net reclassiÑcation adjustment for net realized losses
(gains), net of tax, represents the amount of those fair value adjustments, after the eÅects of our statutory tax rate of
35 percent, that have been recognized in earnings due to a sale of an available-for-sale security or the recognition of an
impairment loss. See ""NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES'' for further information

Retained Portfolio Voluntary Growth Limit

EÅective as of July 1, 2006, we voluntarily limited the growth of our Retained portfolio to no more than 2.0 percent
annually (and 0.5 percent quarterly on a cumulative basis) based on its carrying value as reported in our minimum capital
report to OFHEO Ñled on July 28, 2006, which was $710.3 billion. This voluntary, temporary growth limit was made in
response to a request from OFHEO. At December 31, 2006, the carrying value of the Retained portfolio as reported on our
consolidated balance sheets was $700.5 billion, below the voluntary limit of $717.4 billion at that time.

Collateral Pledged

Collateral Pledged to Freddie Mac

Our counterparties are required to pledge collateral for reverse repurchase transactions and most interest-rate swap

agreements, after giving consideration to collateral posting thresholds generally related to a counterparty's credit rating. Even
though it is our practice not to repledge assets held as collateral, based on master agreements a portion of the collateral may
be repledged. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, we did not have collateral in the form of securities pledged to and held by us
under secured lending transactions and interest-rate swap agreements.

Collateral Pledged by Freddie Mac

We are also required to pledge collateral for margin requirements with third-party custodians in connection with secured
Ñnancings, interest-rate swap agreements, futures and daily trade activities with some counterparties. In 2006, we opened
three uncommitted intraday lines of credit with third-parties, two of which are secured, in connection with the Federal
Reserve Board's revised payments system risk policy, which restricts or eliminates daylight overdrafts by GSEs, including us,
in connection with our use of the Fedwire system. In certain limited circumstances, the line of credit agreements give the
secured parties the right to repledge the securities underlying our Ñnancing to other third parties, including the Federal
Reserve Bank. We pledge collateral to meet these requirements upon a demand by the respective counterparty.

(1) It is our practice to purchase mortgage loans from the pools that underlie PCs principally at the point the mortgage loan is identiÑed as being 120 days
past due. Because all credit losses related to oÅ-balance sheet PCs are preceded by the purchase of a delinquent mortgage loan from the PC pool, all
charge-oÅs or recoveries are presented in the Retained Mortgages columns above.

(2) Represents the portion of the Guarantee obligation recognized through Guarantor Swap transactions or upon the sale of PCs and Structured Securities
that corresponds to incurred credit losses reclassiÑed to reserve for guarantee losses on Participation CertiÑcates upon initial recognition of a
Guarantee obligation. In addition, the amount includes an increase (reduction) of loan loss reserves of $9 million and $(31) million in 2005 and 2004,
respectively, related to prior period adjustments for which the related income was recorded in Other income.

Impaired Loans

Total loan loss reserves, as presented in ""Table 6.1 Ì Detail of Loan Loss Reserves,'' consists of a speciÑc valuation
allowance related to impaired loans, which is presented in Table 6.2, and an additional reserve for other probable incurred
losses, which totaled $414 million, $398 million and $261 million at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Our
recorded investment in impaired loans and the related valuation allowance are summarized in Table 6.2.

(1) Single-family impaired loans include performing and non-performing troubled debt restructurings. Also, in 2006, all loans purchased out of PC pools
that were 120 days delinquent were impaired. Multifamily impaired loans are deÑned as performing and non-performing troubled debt restructurings,
loans that are 60 days or more delinquent, except for certain credit-enhanced loans, and certain mortgage loans with real estate collateral values less
than the outstanding unpaid principal balances. For more details on multifamily impaired loans, see ""NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES.''

(2) Recorded Investment includes the unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans plus other amortized basis adjustments, which are modiÑcations to their

carrying value.

(3) Impaired loans with no related valuation allowance primarily represent performing single-family troubled debt restructuring loans and impaired loans

purchased out of PC pools.

124

Freddie Mac

For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the average recorded investment in impaired loans was
$4,215 million, $2,601 million and $2,311 million, respectively. The increase in impaired loans in 2006 relates to impaired
loans purchased out of PC pools at 120 days of delinquency. In 2006, we purchased approximately $4,833 million of such
impaired loans out of PC pools. At December 31, 2006, the carrying value of such loans was approximately $3,160 million,
net of a related discount of $227 million, a portion of which will be accreted to income if the related loans re-perform. In
addition, impaired loans includes additions related to an economic downturn aÅecting the North Central region in 2006 and
Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Interest income on multifamily impaired loans is recognized on an accrual basis for loans performing under the original
or restructured terms and on a cash basis for non-performing loans, which collectively totaled approximately $25 million,
$24 million and $13 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. For single-family
performing and non-performing loans, we recognize interest income on an accrual basis and establish reserves for estimated
accrued but uncollectible interest for these loans at the consolidated balance sheet dates. Gross interest income on impaired
troubled debt restructuring single-family loans totaled $177 million, $149 million and $157 million for the years ended
December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

NOTE 7: REAL ESTATE OWNED

We obtain REO properties when we are the highest bidder at foreclosure sales of properties that collateralize non-

performing single-family and multifamily mortgage loans owned by us. Upon acquiring single-family properties, we establish
a marketing plan to sell the property as soon as practicable by either listing it with a sales broker or by other means, such as
arranging a real estate auction. Upon acquiring multifamily properties, we may operate them with third-party property-
management Ñrms for a period to stabilize value and then sell the properties through commercial real estate brokers. For
each of the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the weighted average holding period for our disposed REO properties
was less than one year. Table 7.1 provides a summary of our REO activity.

Senior Debt, Due Within One Year

As indicated in Table 8.2, a majority of Senior debt, due within one year (excluding current portion of long-term debt)
consisted of Reference Bills» securities and discount notes, paying only principal at maturity. Reference Bills» securities,
discount notes and Medium-term Notes are unsecured general corporate obligations. Certain Medium-term Notes that
have original maturities of one year or less are classiÑed as Short-term debt securities. Securities sold under agreements to
repurchase are eÅectively collateralized borrowing transactions where we sell securities with an agreement to repurchase
such securities. These agreements require the underlying securities to be delivered to the dealers who arranged the
transactions. Federal funds purchased are unsecuritized borrowings from commercial banks that are members of the Federal
Reserve System.

Freddie Mac

Lines of Credit

We opened intraday lines of credit with third-parties to provide additional liquidity to fund our intraday activities

through the Fedwire system in connection with the Federal Reserve Board's revised payments system risk policy, which
restricts or eliminates daylight overdrafts by GSEs, including us. At December 31, 2006, we had three uncommitted lines of
credit of which $20.0 billion is secured and $1.0 billion is unsecured. No amounts were drawn on these lines of credit at
December 31, 2006. We expect to continue to use these facilities from time to time to satisfy our intraday Ñnancing needs;
however, since the lines are uncommitted, we may not be able to draw on them if and when needed.

Stock Repurchase and Issuance Programs

During 2006, we repurchased $2.0 billion of outstanding shares of common stock and issued $1.5 billion of non-
cumulative, perpetual preferred stock in connection with a plan to replace $2.0 billion of common stock with an equal
amount of preferred stock. During the Ñrst quarter of 2007, we issued $1.1 billion of non-cumulative, perpetual preferred
stock, including $500 million to complete the planned issuance described above and $600 million to replace higher-cost
preferred stock that we redeemed in 2007. In accordance with OFHEO's capital monitoring framework, we obtained

128

Freddie Mac

OFHEO's approval for the common stock repurchases and the preferred stock redemption. We did not repurchase any
outstanding shares of common stock in 2005.

Common Stock Dividends Declared

Common stock dividends declared per share were $1.91, $1.52 and $1.20 for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Dividends Declared During the First Quarter of 2007

On March 2, 2007, our board of directors declared a quarterly dividend on our common stock of $0.50 per share and
dividends on our preferred stock consistent with the contractual rates and terms shown in ""Table 9.1 Ì Preferred Stock.''

Regulatory Capital Standards

NOTE 10: REGULATORY CAPITAL

The Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992, or GSE Act, established minimum,

critical and risk-based capital standards for us.

Those standards determine the amounts of Core capital and Total capital that we must maintain to meet regulatory

capital requirements. Core capital consists of the par value of outstanding common stock (common stock issued less
common stock held in treasury), the par value of outstanding non-cumulative, perpetual preferred stock, additional paid-in
capital and retained earnings, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Total capital includes Core capital and general
reserves for mortgage and foreclosure losses and any other amounts available to absorb losses that OFHEO includes by
regulation.

Minimum Capital

The minimum capital standard requires us to hold an amount of Core capital that is generally equal to the sum of

2.50 percent of aggregate on-balance sheet assets and approximately 0.45 percent of the sum of outstanding mortgage-related
securities  we  guaranteed  and  other  aggregate  oÅ-balance  sheet  obligations.  As  discussed  below,  in  2004  OFHEO
implemented a framework for monitoring our capital adequacy, which includes a mandatory target capital surplus of
30 percent over the minimum capital requirement.

Critical Capital

The critical capital standard requires us to hold an amount of Core capital that is generally equal to the sum of
1.25 percent of aggregate on-balance sheet assets and approximately 0.25 percent of the sum of outstanding mortgage-related
securities we guaranteed and other aggregate oÅ-balance sheet obligations.

Risk-Based Capital

The risk-based capital standard requires the application of a stress test to determine the amount of Total capital that we
must hold to absorb projected losses resulting from adverse interest-rate and credit-risk conditions speciÑed by the GSE Act
and adds 30 percent additional capital to provide for management and operations risk. The adverse interest-rate conditions
prescribed by the GSE Act include one scenario in which 10-year Treasury yields rise by as much as 75 percent (up-rate
scenario) and one in which they fall by as much as 50 percent (down-rate scenario). The credit risk component of the stress
tests simulates the performance of our mortgage portfolio based on loss rates for a benchmark region. The criteria for the
benchmark region are established by the GSE Act and are intended to capture the credit-loss experience of the region that
experienced the highest historical rates of default and severity of mortgage losses for two consecutive origination years.

ClassiÑcation

OFHEO monitors our performance with respect to the three regulatory capital standards by classifying our capital

adequacy not less than quarterly.

To be classiÑed as ""adequately capitalized,'' we must meet both the risk-based and minimum capital standards. If we
fail to meet the risk-based capital standard, we cannot be classiÑed higher than ""undercapitalized.'' If we fail to meet the
minimum capital requirement but exceed the critical capital requirement, we cannot be classiÑed higher than ""signiÑcantly
undercapitalized.'' If we fail to meet the critical capital standard, we must be classiÑed as ""critically undercapitalized.'' In
addition, OFHEO has discretion to reduce our capital classiÑcation by one level if OFHEO determines that we are engaging
in conduct OFHEO did not approve that could result in a rapid depletion of Core capital or determines that the value of
property subject to mortgage loans we hold or guarantee has decreased signiÑcantly.

When we are classiÑed as adequately capitalized, we generally can pay a dividend on our common or preferred stock or
make other capital distributions (which includes common stock repurchases and preferred stock redemptions) without prior
OFHEO approval so long as the payment would not decrease Total capital to an amount less than our risk-based capital
requirement and would not decrease our Core capital to an amount less than our minimum capital requirement. However,
because we are currently subject to the regulatory capital monitoring framework described below, we are required to obtain

129

Freddie Mac

OFHEO's prior approval of certain capital transactions, including common stock repurchases, redemption of any preferred
stock or payment of dividends on preferred stock above stated contractual rates.

If we were classiÑed as undercapitalized, we would be prohibited from making a capital distribution that would reduce
our Core capital to an amount less than our minimum capital requirement. We also would be required to submit a capital
restoration plan for OFHEO approval, which could adversely aÅect our ability to make capital distributions.

If we were classiÑed as signiÑcantly undercapitalized, we would be prohibited from making any capital distribution that

would reduce our Core capital to less than the critical capital level. We would otherwise be able to make a capital
distribution only if OFHEO determined that the distribution would: (a) enhance our ability to meet the risk-based capital
standard and the minimum capital standard promptly; (b) contribute to our long-term Ñnancial safety and soundness; or
(c) otherwise be in the public interest. Also under this classiÑcation, OFHEO could take action to limit our growth, require
us to acquire new capital or restrict us from activities that create excessive risk. We also would be required to submit a
capital restoration plan for OFHEO approval, which could adversely aÅect our ability to make capital distributions.

If we were classiÑed as critically undercapitalized, OFHEO would be required to appoint a conservator for us, unless
OFHEO made a written Ñnding that it should not do so and the Secretary of the Treasury concurred in that determination.
We would be able to make a capital distribution only if OFHEO determined that the distribution would: (a) enhance our
ability to meet the risk-based capital standard and the minimum capital standard promptly; (b) contribute to our long-term
Ñnancial safety and soundness; or (c) otherwise be in the public interest.

Performance Against Regulatory Capital Standards

OFHEO has never classiÑed us as other than ""adequately capitalized,'' the highest possible classiÑcation, reÖecting our

consistent compliance with the minimum, critical and risk-based capital requirements.

Table 10.1 summarizes our regulatory capital requirements and surpluses.

(2) Amounts for 2006 are based on amended reports we submitted to OFHEO in March 2007.
(3) OFHEO determines the amounts reported with respect to our risk-based capital requirement. Amounts for 2006 are not yet available.

Factors that could adversely aÅect the adequacy of our regulatory capital for future periods include declines in GAAP
income; increases in our risk proÑle; changes in the economic environment, such as large interest-rate or implied volatility
moves or home-price declines; changes in option-adjusted spreads; legislative or regulatory action that could increase
capital requirements or changes in or adoption of new accounting standards. See ""NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFI-
CANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Ì Recently Issued Accounting Standards, Not Yet Adopted'' for more information.
In  particular,  interest-rate  levels  or  implied  volatility  can  aÅect  the  amount  of  our  Core  capital,  even  if  we  were
economically well hedged against interest-rate changes, because certain gains or losses are recognized through GAAP
earnings while other oÅsetting gains or losses may not be. Changes in option-adjusted spreads can also aÅect the amount of
our Core capital, because option-adjusted spreads are a factor in the valuation of our guaranteed mortgage portfolio.

Subordinated Debt Commitment

In October 2000, we announced our voluntary adoption of a series of commitments designed to enhance market
discipline, liquidity and capital. In September 2005, we entered into a written agreement with OFHEO that updated those
commitments and set forth a process for implementing them. Under the terms of this agreement, we committed to issue
qualifying subordinated debt for public secondary market trading and rated by no less than two nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations in a quantity such that the sum of Total capital plus the outstanding balance of qualifying
subordinated debt will equal or exceed the sum of 0.45 percent of outstanding guaranteed PCs and Structured Securities
and 4 percent of on-balance sheet assets at the end of each quarter. Qualifying subordinated debt is deÑned as subordinated
debt that contains a deferral of interest payments for up to Ñve years if our Core capital falls below 125 percent of our

130

Freddie Mac

critical capital requirement or our Core capital falls below our minimum capital requirement and pursuant to our request,
the Secretary of the Treasury exercises discretionary authority to purchase our obligations under Section 306(c) of our
charter. Qualifying subordinated debt will be discounted for the purposes of this commitment as it approaches maturity with
one-Ñfth of the outstanding amount excluded each year during the instrument's last Ñve years before maturity. When the
remaining maturity is less than one year, the instrument is entirely excluded.

Regulatory Capital Monitoring Framework

In a letter dated January 28, 2004, OFHEO created a framework for monitoring our capital due to our higher
operational risk, including our inability to produce timely Ñnancial statements in accordance with GAAP. The letter directed
that we maintain a mandatory target capital surplus of 30 percent over our minimum capital requirement, subject to certain
conditions and variations; that we submit weekly reports concerning our capital levels; and that we obtain prior approval of
certain capital transactions.

Our failure to meet the mandatory target capital surplus would result in an OFHEO inquiry regarding the reason for
such failure. If OFHEO were to determine that we had acted unreasonably regarding our compliance with the framework,
as set forth in OFHEO's letter, OFHEO could seek to require us to submit a remedial plan or take other remedial steps.

In addition, under this framework, we are required to obtain prior written approval from the Director of OFHEO before

engaging in certain capital transactions, as described above. We must also submit a written report to the Director of
OFHEO after the declaration, but before the payment, of any dividend on our common stock. The report must contain
certain information on the amount of the dividend, the rationale for the payment and the impact on our capital surplus.

This framework will remain in eÅect until the Director of OFHEO determines that it should be modiÑed or expire.

OFHEO's letter indicated that this determination would consider our resumption of timely Ñnancial and regulatory reporting
that complies with GAAP, among other factors.

Table 10.3 summarizes our compliance with the mandatory target capital surplus portion of OFHEO's capital

monitoring framework.

NOTE 11: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

We have three stock-based compensation plans under which grants are being made: (a) the ESPP; (b) the 2004 Stock

Compensation Plan, or 2004 Employee Plan; and (c) the 1995 Directors' Stock Compensation Plan, as amended and
restated, or  Directors'  Plan.  Prior  to  the  stockholder  approval  of  the  2004  Employee  Plan,  employee  stock-based
compensation was awarded in accordance with the terms of the 1995 Stock Compensation Plan, or 1995 Employee Plan.
Although grants are no longer made under the 1995 Employee Plan, we currently have awards outstanding under this plan.
We collectively refer to the 2004 Employee Plan and 1995 Employee Plan as the Employee Plans.

Common stock delivered under these plans may consist of authorized but previously unissued shares, treasury stock or
shares acquired in market transactions on behalf of the participants. During 2006, stock-based awards we granted consisted
of stock options and restricted stock units. Such awards, discussed below, are generally forfeitable for at least one year after
the grant date, with vesting provisions contingent upon service requirements.

131

Freddie Mac

Stock options

Stock options granted allow for the purchase of our common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of
our common stock on the grant date. During 2006, the 2004 Employee Plan was amended to change the deÑnition of fair
market value to the closing sales price of a share of common stock from the average of the high and low sales prices,
eÅective for all grants after December 6, 2006. Options generally may be exercised for a period of 10 years from the grant
date, subject to a vesting schedule commencing on the grant date.

Stock options that we previously granted included dividend equivalent rights. Depending on the terms of the grant, the

dividend equivalents may be paid when and as dividends on our common stock are declared. Alternatively, dividend
equivalents may be paid upon exercise or expiration of the stock option. Subsequent to November 30, 2005, dividend
equivalent rights were no longer granted in connection with awards of stock options to grantees to address Internal Revenue
Code Section 409A.

Restricted stock units

A restricted stock unit entitles the grantee to receive one share of common stock at a speciÑed future date. Restricted

stock units do not have voting rights, but do have dividend equivalent rights, which are (a) paid to restricted stock unit
holders who are employees as and when dividends on common stock are declared or (b) accrued as additional restricted
stock units for non-employee members of our board of directors.

Restricted stock

Restricted stock entitles participants to all the rights of a stockholder, including dividends, except that the shares
awarded are subject to a risk of forfeiture and may not be disposed of by the participant until the end of the restriction period
established at the time of grant.

The following is a description of each of our stock-based compensation plans under which grants are currently being

made.

ESPP: We have an ESPP that is qualiÑed under Internal Revenue Code Section 423. Under the ESPP, substantially
all full-time and part-time employees that choose to participate in the ESPP have the option to purchase shares of common
stock at speciÑed dates, with an annual maximum market value of $20,000 per employee as determined on the grant date.
The purchase price is equal to 85 percent of the lower of the average price (average of the daily high and low prices) of the
stock on the grant date or the average price of the stock on the purchase (exercise) date.

At December 31, 2006, the maximum number of shares of common stock authorized for grant to employees totaled
6.8 million shares, of which approximately 0.4 million shares had been issued and approximately 6.4 million shares remained
available for grant. At December 31, 2006, no options to purchase stock were exercisable under the ESPP, as the options to
purchase stock outstanding at year-end become exercisable subsequent to year-end, and are exercised or forfeited during the
subsequent year.

2004 Employee Plan: Under the 2004 Employee Plan, we may grant employees stock-based awards, including stock
options, restricted stock units and restricted stock. In addition, we have the right to impose performance conditions with
respect to these awards. Employees may also be granted stock appreciation rights; however, at December 31, 2006, no stock
appreciation rights had been granted under the 2004 Employee Plan. At December 31, 2006, the maximum number of
shares of common stock authorized for grant to employees in accordance with the 2004 Employee Plan totaled 14.3 million
shares, of which approximately 3.4 million shares had been issued and approximately 10.9 million shares remained
available for grant.

Directors' Plan: Under the Directors' Plan, we are permitted to grant stock options, restricted stock units and
restricted stock to non-employee members of our board of directors. At December 31, 2006, the maximum number of shares
of common stock authorized for grant to members of our board of directors in accordance with the Directors' Plan totaled
2.4 million shares, of which approximately 0.9 million shares had been issued and approximately 1.5 million shares
remained available for grant.

See ""NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,'' for a description of the accounting

treatment for stock-based compensation, including grants under the ESPP, Employee Plans and Directors' Plan.

Estimates used to determine the assumptions noted in the table below are determined as follows:

(a) the expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the stock over a time period equal to the expected life;
(b) the weighted average volatility is the weighted average of the expected volatility;
(c) the weighted average expected dividend yield is based on the most recent dividend announcement relative to the

grant date and the stock price at the grant date;

132

Freddie Mac

(d) the weighted average expected life is based on historical option exercise experience; and
(e) the weighted average risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in eÅect at the time of the

grant.

Changes in the assumptions used to calculate the fair value of stock options could result in materially diÅerent fair value
estimates. The actual value of stock options will depend on the market value of our common stock when the stock options
are exercised.

Table 11.1 summarizes the assumptions used in determining the fair values of options granted under our stock-based

compensation plans using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model as well as the weighted average grant-date fair value of
options granted and the total intrinsic value of options exercised.

(1) The value of the dividend equivalent feature of options for the Employee Plans and Directors' Plan was incorporated into the Black-Scholes model by
using an expected dividend yield of zero percent. To account for a modiÑcation of stock options on November 30, 2005, the dividend equivalent feature
of aÅected stock options for the Employee Plans and Directors' Plan was valued separately. Other assumptions used to value the aÅected stock
options were as follows: (a) expected volatility of 25.4 percent, (b) expected dividend yield of 2.96 percent, (c) expected life of 5.1 years, and (d) risk-
free interest rate of 4.34 percent. Subsequent to November 30, 2005, dividend equivalent rights are no longer granted in connection with new awards
of stock options to grantees.

during 2006. We realized a tax beneÑt of $7 million as a result of tax deductions available to us upon the exercise of stock
options under the Employee Plans and the Directors' Plan during 2006. During 2006, we did not pay cash to settle share-

As of December 31, 2006, $127 million of compensation expense related to non-vested awards had not yet been
recognized in earnings. This amount is expected to be recognized in earnings over the next four years. During 2006, the
modiÑcation of individual awards, which provided for continued or accelerated vesting, was made to fewer than 20 employees
and resulted in incremental compensation expense of $0.1 million.

We use derivatives to conduct our risk management activities. We principally use the following types of derivatives:

‚ LIBOR- and the Euro Interbank OÅered Rate, or Euribor-, based interest-rate swaps;

NOTE 12: DERIVATIVES

‚ LIBOR- and Treasury-based options (including swaptions);

‚ LIBOR- and Treasury-based exchange-traded futures; and

‚ Foreign-currency swaps.

Our derivative portfolio also includes certain forward purchase and sale commitments and other contractual agreements,

including  credit  derivatives  and  swap  guarantee  derivatives  in  which  we  guarantee  the  sponsor's  or  the  borrower's
performance as a counterparty on certain interest-rate swaps.

Hedging Activity

Derivative instruments are reported at their fair value and generally netted by counterparty (provided that a legally

enforceable master netting agreement exists), as either Derivative assets, at fair value, or Derivative liabilities, at fair value,
on our consolidated balance sheets. See ""NOTE 17: CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT AND OTHER RISKS'' for
further information related to our derivative counterparties.

Freddie Mac

No Hedge Designation

At December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, most of our derivative portfolio was not designated in hedge accounting
relationships. We record changes in the fair value of derivatives not in hedge accounting relationships as Derivative gains
(losses) on our consolidated statements of income. Any associated interest received or paid is recognized on an accrual
basis and also recorded in Derivative gains (losses) on our consolidated statements of income.

At the beginning of the second quarter of 2004, we determined that substantially all pay-Ñxed swaps and other
derivatives that previously had been in cash Öow hedge accounting relationships no longer met the hedged item shared risk
exposure requirement and hedge eÅectiveness assessment as required by SFAS 133. Consequently, we discontinued hedge
accounting treatment for these relationships, resulting in the movement of pay-Ñxed swaps with a notional balance of
approximately $108 billion from the cash Öow hedge designation to no hedge designation. We also voluntarily discontinued
hedge accounting treatment for a signiÑcant amount of our receive-Ñxed swaps eÅective November 1, 2004, resulting in the
movement of receive-Ñxed swaps with a notional balance of approximately $50 billion from the fair value hedge designation
to no hedge designation. At the beginning of the second quarter of 2005, we voluntarily discontinued hedge accounting
treatment for all new forward purchase commitments and the majority of our new commitments to forward sell mortgage-
related securities. In addition, eÅective March 31, 2006, we discontinued hedge accounting treatment for all derivatives,
with the exception of certain derivatives related to foreign-currency debt issuances and certain commitments to forward sell
mortgage-related securities. The discontinuation resulted in the movement of receive-Ñxed swaps with a notional amount
of approximately $58.8 billion from the fair value hedge designation to no hedge designation and the movement of foreign-
currency swaps with a notional amount of approximately $550 million from the cash Öow hedge designation to no hedge
designation. Hedge accounting treatment for the remaining derivatives related to foreign-currency debt issuances was
voluntarily discontinued on December 1, 2006, resulting in a movement of receive-Ñxed swaps and foreign-currency swaps
with a notional amount of approximately $56 billion from the fair value hedge designation to no hedge designation. We
believe that our voluntary discontinuation of hedge accounting treatment for these derivatives assists us in addressing the
operational complexity and related control remediation eÅorts that would otherwise be needed to ensure ongoing compliance
with the requirements for obtaining and maintaining hedge accounting treatment. We may consider implementing new
hedge accounting strategies in the future.

Fair Value Hedges

Fair value hedges represented hedges of exposure to foreign-currency Öuctuations and changes in the fair value of a
recognized liability. We primarily used interest-rate swaps and foreign-currency swaps to hedge against the changes in fair
value of Ñxed-rate debt due to changes in benchmark interest rates (either LIBOR or Euribor), or foreign-currency
Öuctuations, or a combination of both.

For a derivative accounted for in a fair value hedge relationship, we reported changes in the fair value of the derivative
as Hedge accounting gains (losses) on our consolidated statements of income along with the oÅsetting changes in the fair
value of the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged. Any diÅerences arising from fair value changes that were not
exactly oÅset resulted in hedge ineÅectiveness. Hedge accounting gains (losses) varied from period to period based on the
notional amount of derivatives accounted for in hedge accounting relationships and the extent of hedge ineÅectiveness.

Table 12.1 summarizes certain gains (losses) recognized related to our hedge accounting categories.

Cash Flow Hedges

Cash Öow hedges represent hedges of exposure to the variability in the cash Öows of a variable-rate or foreign-currency

denominated instrument or related to a forecasted transaction. We used interest-rate swaps, foreign-currency swaps and
forward purchase and sale commitments to hedge the changes in cash Öows associated with the forecasted issuances of debt,
forecasted purchase or sale of mortgage-related assets, and foreign-currency Öuctuations. At December 31, 2006, the only
derivatives accounted for as cash Öow hedges were certain commitments to forward sell mortgage-related securities with a
total notional amount of $70 million.

135

Freddie Mac

For a derivative accounted for as a cash Öow hedge, changes in fair value are reported in AOCI, net of taxes, on our
consolidated balance sheets to the extent the hedge is eÅective. The remaining ineÅective portion of changes in fair value is
reported as Hedge accounting gains (losses) on our consolidated statements of income. As shown in Table 12.2 below, the
total AOCI, net of taxes, related to cash Öow hedge relationships was a loss of $5,033 million at December 31, 2006,
primarily composed of deferred net losses on closed cash Öow hedges. Closed cash Öow hedges involve derivatives that have
been terminated or are no longer designated as cash Öow hedges. Fluctuations in prevailing market interest rates have no
impact on the deferred portion of AOCI relating to losses on closed cash Öow hedges.

Over the 12 months beginning January 1, 2007, we estimate that approximately $953 million of deferred losses in
AOCI, net of taxes, will be reclassiÑed into earnings. The maximum remaining length of time over which we have hedged
the exposure related to the variability in future cash Öows on forecasted transactions, primarily interest payments on
forecasted debt issuances, is 27 years. However, over 70 percent and 90 percent of the AOCI, net of taxes, balance relating
to cash Öow hedges at December 31, 2006 is linked to forecasted transactions occurring in the next 5 and 10 years,
respectively. The occurrence of forecasted transactions may be satisÑed by either periodic issuances of short-term debt over
the required time period or longer-term debt, such as Reference Notes» securities.

Table 12.2 presents the changes in AOCI, net of taxes, related to derivatives designated as cash Öow hedges. Net change
in fair value related to cash Öow hedging activities, net of tax, represents the net change in the fair value of the derivatives
that were designated as cash Öow hedges, after the eÅects of our statutory tax rate of 35 percent, to the extent the hedges
were eÅective. Net reclassiÑcations of losses to earnings, net of tax, represents the AOCI amount, after the eÅects of our
statutory tax rate of 35 percent, that was recognized in earnings as the originally hedged forecasted transactions aÅected
earnings, unless it was deemed probable that the forecasted transaction would not occur. If it is probable that the forecasted
transaction will not occur, then the entire deferred gain or loss associated with the hedge related to the forecasted
transaction would be reclassiÑed into earnings immediately.

NOTE 13: LEGAL CONTINGENCIES

We are involved as a party to a variety of legal proceedings arising from time to time in the ordinary course of business
including, among other things, contractual disputes, personal injury claims, employment-related litigation and other legal
proceedings incidental to our business. We are frequently involved, directly or indirectly, in litigation involving mortgage
foreclosures. From time to time, we are also involved in proceedings arising from our termination of a seller/servicer's
eligibility to sell mortgages to, and service mortgages for, us. In these cases, the former seller/servicer sometimes seeks
damages against us for wrongful termination under a variety of legal theories. In addition, we are sometimes sued in
connection with the origination or servicing of mortgages. These suits typically involve claims alleging wrongful actions of
seller/servicers. Our contracts with our seller/servicers generally provide for indemnification against liability arising from
their wrongful actions.

We are subject to various other legal proceedings, including regulatory investigations and administrative and civil
litigation, arising from the restatement of our previously issued consolidated Ñnancial statements for the years 2000 and 2001
and the Ñrst three quarters of 2002 and the revision of fourth quarter and full-year consolidated Ñnancial statements for 2002
(collectively referred to as the ""restatement''). In the Ñrst quarter of 2005, we recorded a $339 million expense related to
our litigation reserves for legal settlements, including our settlement of the securities class action lawsuits, the shareholder
derivative lawsuits and the Federal Election Commission, or FEC, investigation, discussed below. We maintain reserves for
the amount of the estimated probable loss in connection with the remaining legal proceedings related to the restatement.
As of the Ñrst quarter of 2006, we recorded a $25 million reduction in our reserves for this loss contingency. Litigation and
claims resolution are subject to many uncertainties and are not susceptible to accurate prediction. Any additional losses that
might result from the adverse resolution of any of the remaining legal proceedings could be greater than our current
reserves.

136

Freddie Mac

SEC Investigation.

In June 2003, the SEC initiated a formal investigation of Freddie Mac in connection with the
restatement. On August 18, 2004, we announced that we had received a ""Wells Notice'' from the staÅ of the SEC. The
Wells Notice advised us that the SEC staÅ is considering recommending that the SEC initiate a civil injunctive action
against us for possible violations of federal securities laws, including Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and the SEC's Rule 10b-5, as well as Sections 17(a)(1), (2) and (3) of the Securities Act of 1933. The Wells Notice also
indicated  that  the  SEC  staÅ  may  seek  a  permanent  injunction  and  a  civil  money  penalty  in  connection  with  the
contemplated action. We continue to cooperate fully with the SEC's investigation.

Securities Class Action Lawsuits.

In June 2003 and thereafter, securities class action lawsuits were brought in against
us and certain former executive oÇcers in connection with the restatement and eventually in the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York. The plaintiÅs claimed that the defendants improperly managed earnings to create a
misleading impression of steady earnings by Freddie Mac, that they engaged in a number of improper transactions that
violated GAAP and that they made false and misleading statements regarding the same. On October 26, 2006, the court
approved a settlement of the securities class action lawsuits, as well as the shareholder derivative actions described below.
The settlement of these actions included a cash payment of $410 million. The settlement does not include any admission of
wrongdoing by the company.

Shareholder Derivative Lawsuits. Two shareholder derivative lawsuits were Ñled during 2003 against certain former

and current executives and, in one of the suits, certain former and current members of the board of directors and Ñve
counterparties. The plaintiÅs alleged claims for breach of Ñduciary duties, indemniÑcation, waste of corporate assets, unjust
enrichment and aiding and abetting breach of Ñduciary duties in connection with the restatement. Both cases were
ultimately assigned to the same judge in New York who handled the securities class action lawsuits described above. As
described above, on October 26, 2006, the court approved a settlement of both shareholder derivative actions, as well as the
securities class action lawsuits. The settlement of these cases was based in part on corporate governance reforms we
instituted under our current management.

ERISA Lawsuits. Two class action lawsuits were Ñled in 2003 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of

Ohio against us, certain former executives, a former member of our board of directors, and our Retirement Committee
alleging violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or ERISA. On March 1, 2007, the court approved a
settlement of the ERISA lawsuits, which resulted in the closure of the Department of Labor investigation described below.
The settlement of these actions includes a payment of $4.65 million, which will be fully covered by insurance, and certain
non-monetary relief, including an agreement to appoint an independent Ñduciary to oversee the Freddie Mac Stock Fund,
one of the investment options under our Thrift/401(k) Savings Plan. The settlement does not include any admission of
wrongdoing by the company.

Department  of  Labor  Investigation.

In  July  2003,  the  Department  of  Labor  began  an  investigation  of  our

Thrift/401(k) Savings Plan in relation to the restatement. We announced on August 21, 2006, that in anticipation of the
proposed settlement of the ERISA litigation, the Labor Department informed the company that it closed its investigation of
the Thrift/401(k) Savings Plan.
OFHEO  Proceedings.

In  December  2003,  OFHEO  Ñled  administrative  notices  of  charges  against  us  and

Messrs. Brendsel and Clarke, two of our former executive oÇcers. In its charge against us, OFHEO sought to have us take
certain actions in connection with these individuals' salaries and compensation as well as their termination status with the
company. On September 9, 2005, we entered into a stipulated consent order with OFHEO to settle the administrative
notice of charges against us. Under the terms of the consent order, we agreed to produce certain documents and make
available any current employees that OFHEO requests to interview in connection with its ongoing administrative actions
against Messrs. Brendsel and Clarke, and to take certain additional steps following the administrative actions against the
former oÇcers in accordance with any Ñnal order resulting in those actions. The text of this consent order and a related
production agreement are available on OFHEO's website at www.ofheo.gov. In agreeing to the consent order, we made no
admission regarding any wrongdoing by the company. Based on the consent order, OFHEO has dismissed the administrative
notice of charges against us and we have produced certain documents for OFHEO's review and made numerous current
employees available for interviews at OFHEO's request.

U.S. Attorney's Investigation.

In June 2003, the U.S. Attorney's OÇce in Alexandria, Virginia commenced an

investigation of us related to the restatement. At present, we do not believe that the U.S. Attorney's OÇce will take any
adverse action against the company related to the restatement given the passage of time and the fact that no action has been
taken to date. It is the policy of the U.S. Attorney's OÇce not to comment on investigations or announce when an
investigation is closed without action. Accordingly, we cannot make any assurances that this matter has been resolved.

Antitrust Lawsuits. Consolidated lawsuits were Ñled against Fannie Mae and us in the U.S. District Court for the

District of Columbia, originally Ñled on January 10, 2005, alleging that both companies conspired to establish and maintain

137

Freddie Mac

artiÑcially high guarantee fees. The complaint covers the period January 1, 2001 to the present and asserts a variety of claims
under federal and state antitrust laws, as well as claims under consumer-protection and similar state laws. The plaintiÅs seek
injunctive relief, unspeciÑed damages (including treble damages with respect to the antitrust claims and punitive damages
with respect to some of the state claims) and other forms of relief. We Ñled a motion to dismiss the action and are awaiting a
ruling from the court. At present, it is not possible for us to predict the probable outcome of the consolidated lawsuit or any
potential impact on our business, Ñnancial condition or results of operations.

Other Inquiries. We receive inquiries from the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, in connection with its regular audits
of our tax returns for prior years, some of which relate to matters connected with the restatement. We continue to respond to
these inquiries. See ""NOTE 14: INCOME TAXES'' for more information.

FEC Investigation.

In March 2004, we provided certain information to the FEC concerning compliance with federal
election laws. The FEC conducted an investigation into this matter and, on April 18, 2006, we announced we had entered
into a conciliation agreement with the FEC. Under the terms of the conciliation agreement, we agreed to pay a civil penalty
of $3.8 million and to cease and desist from engaging in activities that violate speciÑed provisions of the Federal Election
Campaign Act relating to prohibitions on the use of corporate resources for political fundraising.

We are exempt from state and local income taxes. Table 14.1 presents the components of our provision for income

Our negative eÅective tax rate in 2006 and the decrease in our eÅective tax rate over the past three years is primarily
due to the decline in pre-tax income, the year-over-year increases in tax credits related to our investments in low-income
housing tax credit partnerships and interest earned on tax-exempt housing-related securities. In 2006, our negative eÅective
tax rate also reÖects reductions in our tax reserves as discussed below.

Impact of tax issues. The IRS has a policy to examine the income tax returns of large corporate taxpayers, including
us, generally every year. We believe that an adequate provision has been made for contingencies related to all income taxes
and  related  interest  and  potential  penalties  in  accordance  with  SFAS  5.  However,  making  a  provision  for  such
contingencies requires signiÑcant judgment. The ultimate outcome of these tax contingencies is subject to uncertainties,
diÇcult to predict and could result in a tax beneÑt or tax provision that could be material to our quarterly or annual results of
operations. We do not believe that liabilities arising from these matters, if any, will have a material adverse eÅect on our
consolidated Ñnancial condition.

Tax Years 1985 through 1997. We are in litigation in the U.S. Tax Court, or Court, to contest income tax deÑciencies
asserted by the IRS for years 1985 through 1997. The principal matters in controversy in the case involve questions of tax
law as applied to our transition from non-taxable to taxable status in 1985 and primarily involve the amortization of two
types of intangible assets:

‚ Favorable Financing. A number of Ñnancing arrangements where the contract rates of interest were less than the
market rates of interest as of January 1, 1985 due to an increase in interest rates since the date on which we had
entered into the respective arrangements; and,

‚ Customer Relationships. Our business relationships with a substantial number of mortgage originating institutions

that sold mortgages to us on a regular basis.

In July 2006, the Court ruled favorably for Freddie Mac on the questions of value and useful life of Favorable

Financing. In response to this decision, we recorded a $108 million reduction in our tax contingency reserves as of Ñrst
quarter 2006. The Court's rulings to date in the case are subject to appeal by the parties upon Ñnal resolution by the Court. If
the IRS were to appeal the July 2006 or any prior Court decisions and any adverse rulings resulted, we may reconsider our
reserves.

We are in discussions with the IRS regarding settlement of the Customer Relationships controversy. The favorable

resolution of this controversy would represent a gain contingency which we have not recorded.

In November 2006, Freddie Mac entered into a settlement with the IRS that included resolution of several other
controversies in the case, including a controversy regarding the timing for recognition of certain Management and guarantee
fees. In view of the settlement, we recorded a $50 million reduction in our tax contingency reserves as of Ñrst quarter 2006.
Tax Years 1998 through 2005. The IRS has completed its regular examination of our 1998 through 2002 tax returns,

but could raise additional issues. As a result of the regular examination, the principal matter in controversy involves
questions of timing and potential penalties regarding our tax accounting method for certain hedging transactions. We believe
the risk of loss due to the assertion of penalties by the IRS related to our tax accounting methods is remote. As to the
questions of timing, we believe that an adequate provision in accordance with SFAS 5 has been made for contingencies
related to income taxes and related interest as described under ""Impact of tax issues'' above.

The tax years 2003 to 2005 are being examined by the IRS.

NOTE 15: EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

DeÑned BeneÑt Plans

We maintain a tax-qualiÑed, funded deÑned beneÑt pension plan, or Pension Plan, covering substantially all of our

employees. Pension Plan beneÑts are based on an employee's years of service and highest average compensation, up to legal
plan limits, over any consecutive 36 months of employment. Pension Plan assets are held in trust and the investments consist

139

Freddie Mac

primarily of funds comprised of listed stocks and corporate bonds. In addition to our Pension Plan, we maintain a
nonqualiÑed, unfunded deÑned beneÑt pension plan for our oÇcers, referred to as our Supplemental Executive Retirement
Plan, or SERP. The related retirement beneÑts for our SERP are paid from our general assets. Our qualiÑed and
nonqualiÑed deÑned beneÑt pension plans are collectively referred to as deÑned beneÑt pension plans.

We maintain a deÑned beneÑt postretirement health care plan, or Retiree Health Plan, that generally provides
postretirement health care beneÑts on a contributory basis to retired employees age 55 or older who rendered at least 10 years
of service (Ñve years of service if the employee is eligible to retire prior to March 1, 2007) and who, upon separation or
termination, immediately elected to commence beneÑts under the Pension Plan in the form of an annuity. Our Retiree
Health Plan is currently unfunded and the beneÑts are paid from our general assets. This plan and our deÑned beneÑt
pension plans are collectively referred to as deÑned beneÑt plans.

For Ñnancial reporting purposes, we use a September 30 valuation measurement date for all of our deÑned beneÑt plans.

See ""NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES'' for further information regarding the
pending change to our measurement date.

We are required to accrue the estimated cost of retiree beneÑts as employees render the services necessary to earn their
pension and postretirement health beneÑts. Our pension and postretirement health care costs related to these deÑned beneÑt
plans for 2006, 2005 and 2004 presented in the following tables were calculated using assumptions as of September 30,
2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The funded status of our deÑned beneÑt plans for 2006, 2005 and 2004 presented in the
following tables was calculated using assumptions as of September 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Table 15.1 below shows the changes in our beneÑt obligations and fair value of plan assets using a September 30
valuation measurement date for amounts recognized on our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2006 and 2005,
respectively.

For the 2006 and 2005 beneÑt obligations, we determined the discount rate using a yield curve consisting of spot interest
rates at half-year increments for each of the next 30 years, developed with pricing and yield information from high-quality
bonds. The future beneÑt plan cash Öows were then matched to the appropriate spot rates and discounted back to the
measurement date. Finally, a single equivalent discount rate was calculated that, when applied to the same cash Öows, results
in the same present value of the cash Öows as of the measurement date. For 2004, we used the Moody's Aa Corporate Bond
Rate Index as a basis for selecting the discount rate shown above.

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was estimated using a portfolio return calculator model. The model
considered the historical returns and the future expectations of returns for each asset class in our deÑned beneÑt plans in
conjunction with our target investment allocation to arrive at the expected rate of return.

The assumed health care cost trend rates used in measuring the accumulated postretirement beneÑt obligation as of
September 30, 2006 are 10 percent in 2007, gradually declining to an ultimate rate of 5 percent in 2011 and remaining at that
level thereafter.

Table 15.7 sets forth the eÅect on the accumulated postretirement beneÑt obligation for health care beneÑts as of
September 30, 2006, and the eÅect of the service cost and interest cost components of the net periodic postretirement health
beneÑt cost that would result from a 1 percent increase or decrease in the assumed health care cost trend rate.

The Pension Plan's retirement investment committee has Ñduciary responsibility for establishing and overseeing the
investment policies and objectives of our Pension Plan. The Pension Plan's retirement investment committee reviews the
appropriateness of our Pension Plan's investment strategy on an ongoing basis. Our Pension Plan employs a total return
investment approach whereby a diversiÑed blend of equities and Ñxed income investments is used to maximize the long-term
return of plan assets for a prudent level of risk. Risk tolerance is established through careful consideration of plan
characteristics, such as business and Ñnancial characteristics, demographics, and actuarial and company funding policies.
Furthermore,  equity  investments  are  diversiÑed  across  U.S.  and  non-U.S.  listed  companies  with  small  and  large
capitalizations. Derivatives may be used to gain market exposure in an eÇcient and timely manner; however, derivatives may
not be used to leverage the portfolio beyond the market value of the underlying investments. Investment risk is measured

142

and monitored on an ongoing basis through quarterly investment portfolio reviews, annual liability measurements and
periodic asset and liability studies.

Our Pension Plan assets did not include any direct ownership of our securities at September 30, 2006 and 2005.

Cash Flows Related to DeÑned BeneÑt Plans

Our general practice is to contribute to our Pension Plan an amount equal to at least the minimum required
contribution, if any, but no more than the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes each year. During
2006,  we  made  two  contributions  totaling  $143  million  to  our  Pension  Plan  compared  to  one  contribution  totaling
$48 million during 2005. The increase in contributions made to our Pension Plan was in response to the increase in tax-
deductible contributions allowed under the Pension Protection Act passed in August 2006. We have not yet determined
whether a contribution to our Pension Plan is required for 2007.

In addition to the Pension Plan contributions noted above, we paid $3 million during 2006 and $1 million during 2005 in

beneÑts under our SERP. Allocations under our SERP, as well as our Retiree Health Plan, are in the form of beneÑt
payments, as these plans are required to be unfunded.

Table 15.9 sets forth estimated future beneÑt payments expected to be paid for our deÑned beneÑt plans. The expected

beneÑts are based on the same assumptions used to measure our beneÑt obligation at September 30, 2006.

DeÑned Contribution Plans

Our Thrift/401(k) Savings Plan, or Savings Plan, is a tax-qualiÑed deÑned contribution pension plan oÅered to all

eligible employees. Employees are permitted to contribute from 1 percent to 25 percent of their eligible compensation to the
Savings Plan, subject to limits set by the Internal Revenue Code. We match employees' contributions up to 6 percent of
their eligible compensation per pay period; the percentage matched depends upon the employee's length of service.
Employee contributions and our matching contributions are immediately vested. We also have discretionary authority to
make additional contributions to our Savings Plan that are allocated to each eligible employee, based on the employee's
eligible compensation. Employees become vested in our discretionary contributions after 5 years of service. In addition to
our Savings Plan, we maintain a non-qualiÑed deÑned contribution plan for our oÇcers, designed to make up for beneÑts lost
due to limitations on eligible compensation imposed by the Internal Revenue Code and to make up for deferrals of eligible
compensation under our Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. We incurred costs of $34 million, $31 million and
$29 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, related to these plans. These expenses were
included in Salaries and employee beneÑts on our consolidated statements of income.

Executive Deferred Compensation Plan

Our Executive Deferred Compensation Plan is an unfunded, non-qualiÑed plan that allows certain key employees to
elect to defer substantially all or a portion of their annual salary and cash bonus, and certain key management employees to
defer the settlement of restricted stock units received from us, as well as substantially all or a portion of their annual salary
and cash bonus, for any number of years speciÑed by the employee, but under no circumstances may the period elected
exceed his or her life expectancy. During 2005, we amended the plan to modify certain provisions to address Internal
Revenue Code Section 409A as a result of the issuance of proposed regulations and other guidance. Distributions are paid
from our general assets. We record a liability equal to the accumulated deferred salary, cash bonus and accrued interest as
set forth in the plan, net of any related distributions made to plan participants. We recognize expense equal to the interest
accrued on deferred salary and bonus throughout the year. Expense associated with unvested deferred restricted stock units
is recognized as part of stock-based compensation.

NOTE 16: FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

The supplemental consolidated fair value balance sheets in Table 16.1 present our estimates of the fair value of our
recorded Ñnancial assets and liabilities and oÅ-balance sheet Ñnancial instruments at December 31, 2006 and 2005. Our
consolidated  fair  value  balance  sheets  include  the  estimated  fair  values  of  Ñnancial  instruments  recorded  on  our
consolidated balance sheets prepared in accordance with GAAP, as well as oÅ-balance sheet Ñnancial instruments that

143

represent our assets or liabilities that are not recorded on our GAAP consolidated balance sheets. These oÅ-balance sheet
items predominantly consist of: (a) the unrecognized Guarantee asset and Guarantee obligation associated with our PCs
issued through our Guarantor Swap program prior to the implementation of FIN 45, (b) certain commitments to purchase
mortgage loans and (c) certain credit enhancements on manufactured housing asset-backed securities. The fair value
balance sheets also include certain assets and liabilities that are not Ñnancial instruments (such as property and equipment
and real estate owned, which are included in Other assets) at their carrying value in accordance with GAAP. The valuations
of Ñnancial instruments on our consolidated fair value balance sheets are in accordance with GAAP fair value guidelines
prescribed by SFAS No. 107, ""Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,'' and other relevant pronouncements.

(1) The consolidated fair value balance sheets do not purport to present our net realizable, liquidation or market value as a whole. Furthermore, amounts

we ultimately realize from the disposition of assets or settlement of liabilities may vary signiÑcantly from the fair values presented.

(2) Carrying amounts equal the amounts reported on our GAAP consolidated balance sheets.
(3) The fair value of the Guarantee asset reported exceeds the carrying value primarily because the fair value includes the Guarantee asset related to some
PCs held by third parties that are not recognized on our GAAP consolidated balance sheets because such PCs were issued prior to the implementation
of FIN 45 in 2003.

(4) Fair values include estimated income taxes calculated using the 35 percent statutory rate on the diÅerence between the consolidated fair value balance
sheets net assets, including deferred taxes from our GAAP consolidated balance sheets, and the GAAP consolidated balance sheets equity attributable
to common stockholders.

Limitations

Our consolidated fair value balance sheets do not capture all elements of value that are implicit in our operations as a

going concern because our consolidated fair value balance sheets only capture the values of the current investment and
securitization portfolios. For example, our consolidated fair value balance sheets do not capture the value of new investment
and securitization business that would likely replace prepayments as they occur. In addition, our consolidated fair value
balance sheets do not capture the value associated with future growth opportunities in our investment and securitization
portfolios. Thus, the fair value of net assets attributable to stockholders presented on our consolidated fair value balance
sheets does not represent an estimate of our net realizable, liquidation or market value as a whole.

We report certain assets and liabilities that are not Ñnancial instruments (such as property and equipment and real

estate owned), as well as certain Ñnancial instruments that are not covered by the SFAS 107 disclosure requirements (such
as pension liabilities) at their carrying amounts in accordance with GAAP on our consolidated fair value balance sheets. We
believe these items do not have a signiÑcant impact on our overall fair value results. Other non-Ñnancial assets and
liabilities on our GAAP consolidated balance sheets represent deferrals of costs and revenues that are amortized in
accordance with GAAP, such as deferred debt issuance costs and deferred credit fees. Cash receipts and payments related to

144

Freddie Mac

these items are generally recognized in the fair value of net assets when received or paid, with no basis reÖected on our fair
value balance sheets.

Valuation Methods and Assumptions

Fair value is generally based on independent price quotations obtained from third-party pricing services, dealer marks or
direct market observations, where available. However, certain Ñnancial instruments are less actively traded and, therefore,
are not always able to be valued based on prices obtained from third parties. If quoted prices or market data are not
available, fair value is based on internal valuation models using market data inputs or internally developed assumptions,
where appropriate.

During 2006 and 2005, our fair value results were impacted by several improvements in our approach for estimating the

fair value of certain Ñnancial instruments. In the Ñrst quarter of 2006, we enhanced our approach for estimating the fair
value of certain Ñnancial instruments resulting in (a) an increase in the fair value of Total net assets of approximately
$0.2 billion (after-tax) related to our guarantee-related assets and liabilities and (b) a net decrease in the fair value of Total
net assets of approximately $0.1 billion (after-tax) related to other Ñnancial instruments. In the Ñrst quarter of 2005, we
improved our approach for estimating the fair values of certain Ñnancial instruments resulting in (a) a decrease in the fair
value of Total net assets of approximately $0.8 billion (after-tax) related to our guarantee-related assets and liabilities and
(b) an increase in the fair value of Total net assets of approximately $0.3 billion (after-tax) related to our multifamily whole
loans, the minority interests in our consolidated REIT subsidiaries and other Ñnancial instruments. Also, in the second
quarter of 2005, we improved our approach for estimating the fair values of certain securities we hold, which increased the
fair value of Total net assets by approximately $0.1 billion. The changes in our approach for estimating the fair values of
these Ñnancial instruments are described below.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities at December 31,

2006 and 2005.

Mortgage loans

Mortgage loans represent single-family and multifamily whole loans held in our Retained portfolio. For GAAP
purposes, we must determine the fair value of these mortgage loans to calculate lower-of-cost-or-market adjustments for
mortgages classiÑed as held-for-sale. For fair value balance sheet purposes, we used this same approach when determining
the fair value of whole loans, including those held-for-investment.

We determine the fair value of mortgage loans, excluding delinquent single-family loans purchased out of pools, based
on comparisons to actively traded mortgage-related securities with similar characteristics, with adjustments for yield, credit
and liquidity diÅerences. SpeciÑcally, we aggregate mortgage loans into pools by product type, coupon and maturity and
then convert the pools into notional mortgage-related securities based on their speciÑc characteristics. We then calculate fair
values for these notional mortgage-related securities as described below in ""Mortgage-related securities, excluding PC
residuals.''

Part of the adjustments for yield, credit and liquidity diÅerences represent an implied guarantee fee. To accomplish this,
the fair value of the single-family whole loans, excluding delinquent single-family loans purchased out of pools, includes an
adjustment representing the estimated present value of the additional cash Öows on the mortgage coupon in excess of the
coupon expected on the notional mortgage-related securities. For multifamily whole loans, the fair value adjustment is
estimated by calculating the net present value of guarantee fees we expect to retain. This retained guarantee fee is estimated
by subtracting the expected cost of funding and securitizing a multifamily whole loan of a comparable maturity and credit
rating from the coupon on the whole loan at the time of purchase.

The implied guarantee fee for both single-family and multifamily whole loans is also net of the related credit and other

components inherent in our Guarantee obligation. For single-family whole loans, the process for estimating the related
credit and other Guarantee obligation components is described in the ""Guarantee obligation'' section. For multifamily whole
loans, the related credit and other Guarantee obligation components were estimated by extracting the credit risk premium
that multifamily whole loan investors require from market prices on similar securities. This credit risk premium is net of
expected funding, liquidity and other risk premiums that are embedded in the market price of the reference securities.

Beginning in 2005, we reÑned the fair value estimates of multifamily whole loans by incorporating additional
information and guidance from active market participants into the pricing of notional mortgage-related securities. In
addition, beginning in 2005, for single-family whole loans that are extremely delinquent and have been purchased out of
pools, we obtained dealer indications on aggregated groups of similar loans that reÖect their current performance status.
These market price indications reÖect the estimated present value of all cash Öows related to the whole loans, including
expected credit losses and recoveries.

Freddie Mac

Mortgage-related securities, excluding PC residuals

Mortgage-related securities represent pass-throughs and other mortgage-related securities classiÑed as available-for-sale
and trading, which are already reÖected at fair value on our GAAP consolidated balance sheets. Mortgage-related securities
consist of securities issued by us, Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae, as well as non-agency mortgage-related securities.

The fair value of securities with readily available third-party market prices is generally based on market prices obtained
from broker/dealers or reliable third-party pricing service providers. Fair value may be estimated by using third-party quotes
for similar instruments, adjusted for diÅerences in contractual terms. For other securities, a market option-adjusted spread
approach based on observable market parameters is used to estimate fair value. Option-adjusted spreads for certain securities
are estimated by deriving the option-adjusted spread for the most closely comparable security with an available market
price, using proprietary interest-rate and prepayment models. If necessary, our judgment is applied to estimate the impact of
diÅerences in prepayment uncertainty or other unique cash Öow characteristics related to that particular security. Fair values
for these securities are then estimated by using the estimated option-adjusted spread as an input to the interest-rate and
prepayment models, and estimating the net present value of the projected cash Öows. The remaining instruments are priced
using other modeling techniques or by using other securities as proxies.

PC residuals

PC residuals are reported at fair value on our GAAP consolidated balance sheets. Fair value for PC residuals is

estimated in the same manner as described for the Guarantee asset and the Guarantee obligation for PCs below.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents largely consist of highly liquid investment securities with an original maturity of three
months or less used for cash management purposes, as well as cash collateral posted by our derivative counterparties. Given
that these assets are short-term in nature with limited market value volatility, the carrying amount on our GAAP
consolidated balance sheets is deemed to be a reasonable approximation of fair value.

Investments

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, Investments consists solely of non-mortgage-related securities, which are reported at

fair value on our GAAP consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of Investments were estimated using the methods
described above in ""Mortgage-related securities, excluding PC residuals.''

Securities purchased under agreements to resell and Federal funds sold

Securities purchased under agreements to resell and Federal funds sold principally consists of short-term contractual

agreements such as reverse repurchase agreements involving Treasury and agency securities, Federal funds sold and
Eurodollar time deposits. Given that these assets are short-term in nature, the carrying amount on our GAAP consolidated
balance sheets is deemed to be a reasonable approximation of fair value.

Derivative assets

Derivative assets, at fair value largely consists of interest-rate swaps, option-based derivatives, futures, and forward

purchase and sale commitments that we account for as derivatives, which are reÖected at fair value on our GAAP
consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of interest-rate swaps are determined by using the appropriate yield curves to
calculate and discount the expected cash Öows for both the Ñxed-rate and variable-rate components of the swap contracts.
Option-based derivatives, which principally include call and put swaptions, are valued using an option-pricing model. This
model uses market interest rates and market-implied option volatilities, where available, to calculate the option's fair value.
Market-implied option volatilities are based on information obtained from broker/dealers. The fair value of exchange-
traded futures is based on end-of-day closing prices obtained from third-party pricing services. Derivative forward purchase
and sale commitments are valued using the methods described for mortgage-related securities valuation above.

The fair value of derivative assets considers the impact of institutional credit risk in the event that the counterparty does
not honor its payment obligation. Our fair value of derivatives is not adjusted for expected credit losses because we obtain
collateral from most counterparties typically within one business day of the daily market value calculation and substantially
all of our credit risk arises from counterparties with investment-grade credit ratings of A¿ or above.

Guarantee asset

At  December  31,  2006  and  2005,  we  had  a  Guarantee  asset  on  our  GAAP  consolidated  balance  sheets  for
approximately 95 percent and 93 percent, respectively, of PCs and Structured Securities held by third parties. For more
information regarding the accounting for the Guarantee asset related to PCs and Structured Securities, see ""NOTE 1:
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.''

146

Freddie Mac

For fair value balance sheet purposes, the Guarantee asset is reÖected for all PCs and Structured Securities held by

third parties and is valued using the same method as used for GAAP fair value purposes. For a description of how we
determine the fair value of our Guarantee asset, see ""NOTE 2: TRANSFERS OF SECURITIZED INTERESTS IN
MORTGAGE-RELATED ASSETS.''

Other assets

Other assets consists of accrued interest and other receivables, investments in qualiÑed LIHTC partnerships that are
eligible for federal tax credits, credit enhancement contracts related to PCs and Structured Securities (pool insurance and
recourse and/or indemniÑcation agreements), Ñnancial guarantee contracts for additional credit enhancements on certain
manufactured housing asset-backed securities, REO, property and equipment, and other miscellaneous assets.

The receivables are Ñnancial instruments and are required to be measured at fair value for disclosure purposes pursuant

to  SFAS  107.  Because  these  receivables  are  short-term  in  nature,  we  believe  the  carrying  amount  on  our  GAAP
consolidated balance sheets is a reasonable approximation of their fair values. Our investments in LIHTC partnerships,
reported as consolidated entities or equity method investments in the GAAP Ñnancial statements, are not within the scope of
SFAS 107 disclosure requirements. However, we present the fair value of these investments in Other assets. For the
LIHTC partnerships, the fair value of expected tax beneÑts is estimated using expected cash Öows discounted at a market-
based yield.

For the credit enhancement contracts related to PCs and Structured Securities (pool insurance and recourse and/or
indemniÑcation agreements), fair value is estimated using an expected cash Öow approach, and is intended to reÖect the
estimated amount that a third party would be willing to pay for the contracts. On our consolidated fair value balance sheets,
these contracts are reported at fair value at each balance sheet date based on current market conditions. On our GAAP
consolidated balance sheets, these contracts are initially recorded at fair value at inception, then amortized to expense.

For the credit enhancements on manufactured housing asset-backed securities, the fair value is based on the diÅerence

between the market price of non-credit-impaired manufactured housing securities and credit-impaired manufactured
housing securities that are likely to produce future credit losses, as adjusted for our estimate of a risk premium attributable
to the Ñnancial guarantee contracts. The value of the contracts, over time, will be determined by the actual credit-related
losses incurred and, therefore, may have a value that is higher or lower than our market-based estimate. On our GAAP
consolidated Ñnancial statements, these contracts are recognized as realized.

The other categories of assets that comprise Other assets are not Ñnancial instruments required to be valued at fair value
under SFAS 107, such as REO and property and equipment. For the majority of these non-Ñnancial assets in Other assets,
we use the carrying amounts from our GAAP consolidated balance sheets as the reported values on our consolidated fair
value balance sheets, without any adjustment. These assets represent an insigniÑcant portion of our GAAP consolidated
balance sheets, and any change in their fair value would not be a meaningful part of our fair value of net assets business
results. Certain non-Ñnancial assets in Other assets on our GAAP consolidated balance sheets are assigned a zero value on
our consolidated fair value balance sheets. This treatment is applied to deferred items such as deferred debt issuance costs.
We adjust the GAAP-basis deferred taxes reÖected on our consolidated fair value balance sheets to include estimated
income taxes on the diÅerence between our consolidated fair value balance sheets net assets, including deferred taxes from
our GAAP consolidated balance sheets, and our GAAP consolidated balance sheets equity attributable to common
stockholders. To the extent the adjusted deferred taxes are a net asset, this amount is included in Other assets. If the
adjusted deferred taxes are a net liability, this amount is included in Other liabilities.

Total debt securities, net

Total debt securities, net represents short-term and long-term debt used to Ñnance our assets and, on our consolidated
GAAP balance sheets, debt securities are reported at amortized cost, which is net of deferred items, including premiums,
discounts and hedging-related basis adjustments. This item includes both non-callable and callable debt as well as short-
term zero-coupon discount notes. The fair value of the short-term zero-coupon discount notes is based on a discounted cash
Öow model with market inputs. The valuation of other debt securities is generally based on market prices obtained from
broker/dealers, reliable third-party pricing service providers or direct market observations.

Guarantee obligation

We did not establish a Guarantee obligation for GAAP purposes for PCs and Structured Securities held by third parties
that were issued through our Guarantor Swap program prior to adoption of FIN 45. In addition, after it is initially recorded
at fair value the Guarantee obligation is not subsequently carried at fair value for GAAP purposes. On our consolidated fair
value balance sheets, the Guarantee obligation reÖects the fair value of our Guarantee obligation on all PCs held by third
parties. Additionally, for fair value balance sheet purposes, the Guarantee obligation is valued using the same method as used
for GAAP to determine its initial fair value. Because Guarantee asset, Guarantee obligation and credit enhancement-related

147

Freddie Mac

assets that are recognized at the inception of an executed Guarantor Swap are valued independently of each other, net
diÅerences between these recognized assets and liabilities may exist at inception. If the amount of the Guarantee asset plus
the credit enhancement-related assets is greater than the amount of the Guarantee obligation, the diÅerence between such
amounts is deferred on our GAAP consolidated balance sheets as a component of the Guarantee obligation. This
component of the Guarantee obligation is not recorded on the consolidated fair value balance sheets. The diÅerence between
the fair value and carrying value of the Guarantee obligation shown in Table 16.1 reÖects the diÅerent basis of accounting
for this liability. For example, the fair value of the Guarantee obligation does not include the unamortized balance of
deferred guarantee income that is a component of its carrying value on the GAAP consolidated balance sheets. For
information concerning our valuation approach and accounting policies related to guarantee-related credit losses, see
""NOTE  1:  SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES,''  and  ""NOTE  2:  TRANSFERS  OF
SECURITIZED INTERESTS IN MORTGAGE-RELATED ASSETS.''

Derivative liabilities

See discussion under ""Derivative assets'' above.

Reserve for guarantee losses on PCs

The carrying amount of the Reserve for guarantee losses on PCs on our GAAP consolidated balance sheets represents
loan loss reserves for oÅ-balance sheet PCs in accordance with GAAP that are not already accounted for under SFAS 140.
This line item has no basis on our consolidated fair value balance sheets, because the estimated fair value of all expected
default losses is included in the Guarantee obligation reported on our consolidated fair value balance sheets.

Other liabilities

Other liabilities principally consists of amounts due to PC investors (i.e., principal and interest), funding liabilities
associated with investments in LIHTC partnerships, accrued interest payable on debt securities and other miscellaneous
obligations of less than one year. We believe the carrying amount of these liabilities is a reasonable approximation of their
fair value, except for funding liabilities associated with investments in LIHTC partnerships, for which fair value is estimated
using expected cash Öows discounted at a market-based yield. Furthermore, certain deferred items reported as Other
liabilities on our GAAP consolidated balance sheets are assigned zero value on our consolidated fair value balance sheets,
such as deferred credit fees. Also, as discussed in ""Other assets,'' Other liabilities may include a deferred tax liability
adjusted for fair value balance sheet purposes.

Minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries

Minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries primarily represent preferred stock interests that third parties hold in our

two majority-owned REIT subsidiaries. In accordance with GAAP, we consolidated the REITs. The preferred stock
interests are not within the scope of SFAS 107 disclosure requirements. However, we present the fair value of these interests
on our consolidated fair value balance sheets. The fair value of the third-party minority interests in these REITs was based
on the estimated value of the underlying REIT preferred stock we determined based on a valuation model. In 2005, we
improved our fair value estimates to reÖect observed market activity.

Net assets attributable to preferred stockholders

To determine the preferred stock fair value, we use a market-based approach incorporating quoted dealer prices.

Net assets attributable to common stockholders

Net assets attributable to common stockholders is equal to the diÅerence between the fair value of total assets and the
sum of total liabilities and minority interests reported on our consolidated fair value balance sheets, less the fair value of net
assets attributable to preferred stockholders.

NOTE 17: CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT AND OTHER RISKS

Mortgages and Mortgage-Related Securities

Table 17.1 summarizes the geographical concentration of mortgages and mortgage-related securities that are held by us

or that are collateral for PCs and Structured Securities, excluding:

‚ $1,510 million and $2,021 million of mortgage-related securities issued by Ginnie Mae that back Structured

Securities at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, because these securities do not expose us to meaningful
amounts of credit risk;

‚ $45,385 million and $44,626 million of agency mortgage-related securities at December 31, 2006 and 2005,

respectively, because these securities do not expose us to meaningful amounts of credit risk; and

‚ $238,465 million and $242,915 million of non-agency mortgage-related securities held in the Retained portfolio at
December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, because geographic information regarding these securities is not available.
With respect to these securities, we look to third party credit enhancements (e.g., bond insurance) or other credit
enhancements resulting from the securitization structure supporting such securities (e.g., subordination levels) as a
primary means of managing credit risk.

See ""NOTE 5: RETAINED PORTFOLIO AND CASH AND INVESTMENTS PORTFOLIO'' for more information

Mortgage Lenders and Insurers

A signiÑcant portion of our single-family mortgage purchase volume is generated from several key mortgage lenders that
have entered into business arrangements with us. These arrangements generally involve a lender's commitment to sell a high
proportion of its conforming mortgage origination volume to us. During 2006, three mortgage lenders each accounted for
10 percent or more of our mortgage purchase volume. These lenders collectively accounted for approximately 51 percent of
this volume. In addition, in 2006, our top ten lenders represented approximately 76 percent of our mortgage purchase
volume. These top lenders are among the largest mortgage loan originators in the U.S. We are exposed to the risk that we
could lose purchase volume to the extent these arrangements are terminated or modiÑed without replacement from other
lenders.

We have institutional credit risk relating to the potential insolvency or non-performance of mortgage insurers that insure

mortgages we purchase or guarantee. Approximately 99 percent of all mortgage insurers providing primary mortgage
insurance and pool insurance coverage on single-family mortgages we purchased during 2006 were rated ""AA'' or better by
S&P. Excluding insurers of our non-agency mortgage-related securities portfolio at December 31, 2006, there were seven
mortgage insurers that each provided more than 7 percent of our total mortgage insurance coverage (including primary
mortgage insurance and pool insurance) and together accounted for approximately 99 percent of our overall coverage. In
February 2007, two of these mortgage insurance companies announced an agreement to merge, with one acquiring the other.

149

Freddie Mac

At December 31, 2006, these two companies together represented approximately 52 percent of our total mortgage insurance
coverage.

Derivative Portfolio

On an ongoing basis, we review the credit fundamentals of all of our derivative counterparties to conÑrm that they

continue to meet our internal standards. We assign internal ratings, credit capital and exposure limits to each counterparty
based on quantitative and qualitative analysis, which we update and monitor on a regular basis. We conduct additional
reviews when market conditions dictate or events aÅecting an individual counterparty occur.

Derivative Counterparties. Our use of derivatives exposes us to counterparty credit risk, which arises from the
possibility that the derivative counterparty will not be able to meet its contractual obligations. Exchange-traded derivatives,
such as futures contracts, do not measurably increase our counterparty credit risk because changes in the value of open
exchange-traded contracts are settled daily through a Ñnancial clearinghouse established by each exchange. Over-the-
counter, or OTC, derivatives, however, expose us to counterparty credit risk because transactions are executed and settled
between us and the counterparty. Our use of OTC interest-rate swaps, option-based derivatives and foreign-currency swaps
is subject to rigorous internal credit and legal reviews. Our derivative counterparties carry external credit ratings among the
highest available from major rating agencies. All of these counterparties are major Ñnancial institutions and are experienced
participants in the OTC derivatives market.

Master Netting and Collateral Agreements. We use master netting and collateral agreements to reduce our credit risk
exposure to our active OTC derivative counterparties for interest-rate swaps, option-based derivatives and foreign-currency
swaps.  Master  netting  agreements  provide  for  the  netting  of  amounts  receivable  and  payable  from  an  individual
counterparty, which reduces our exposure to a single counterparty in the event of default. On a daily basis, the market value
of each counterparty's derivatives outstanding is calculated to determine the amount of our net credit exposure, which is
equal to derivatives in a net gain position by counterparty after giving consideration to collateral posted. Our collateral
agreements require most counterparties to post collateral for the amount of our net exposure to them above the applicable
threshold. Bilateral collateral agreements are in place for the majority of our counterparties. Collateral posting thresholds
are tied to a counterparty's credit rating. Derivative exposures and collateral amounts are monitored on a daily basis using
both internal pricing models and dealer price quotes. Collateral is typically transferred within one business day based on the
values of the related derivatives. This time lag in posting collateral can aÅect our net uncollateralized exposure to derivative
counterparties.

Collateral posted by a derivative counterparty is typically in the form of cash, U.S. Treasury securities, our PCs and

Structured Securities or our debt securities. In the event a counterparty defaults on its obligations under the derivatives
agreement and the default is not remedied in the manner prescribed in the agreement, we have the right under the agreement
to direct the custodian bank to transfer the collateral to us or, in the case of non-cash collateral, to sale the collateral and
transfer the proceeds to us.

Our uncollateralized exposure to counterparties for OTC interest-rate swaps, option-based derivatives and foreign-
currency swaps, after applying netting agreements and collateral, was $672 million and $190 million at December 31, 2006
and 2005, respectively. In the event that all of our counterparties for these derivatives were to have defaulted simultaneously
on December 31, 2006, our maximum loss for accounting purposes would have been approximately $672 million.

Our exposure to counterparties for OTC forward purchase and sale commitments treated as derivatives was $24 million
and $35 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Because the typical maturity for our OTC commitments is
less than one year, we do not require master netting and collateral agreements for the counterparties of these commitments.
Therefore, the exposure to our OTC commitments counterparties is uncollateralized. Similar to counterparties for our
OTC interest-rate swaps, option-based derivatives and foreign-currency swaps, we monitor the credit fundamentals of our
OTC commitments counterparties on an ongoing basis to ensure that they continue to meet our internal risk-management
standards.

NOTE 18: MINORITY INTERESTS

The equity and net earnings attributable to the minority stockholder interests in consolidated subsidiaries are reported
on our consolidated balance sheets as Minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries and on our consolidated statements of
income as Minority interests in earnings of consolidated subsidiaries. The majority of the balances in these accounts relate
to our two majority-owned REITs.

In February 1997, we formed two majority-owned REIT subsidiaries funded through the issuance of common stock
(99.9 percent of which is held by us) and a total of $4.0 billion of perpetual, step-down preferred stock issued to outside
investors. The dividend rate on the step-down preferred stock was 13.3 percent from initial issuance through December 2006
(the initial term). Beginning in 2007, the dividend rate will step-down to 1.0 percent. Dividends on this preferred stock

150

Freddie Mac

accrue in arrears. The balance of the two step-down preferred stock issuances as recorded within Minority interests in
consolidated subsidiaries on our consolidated balance sheets totaled $503 million and $934 million at December 31, 2006
and 2005, respectively.

On November 10, 2005, we oÅered to purchase for cash any and all of the outstanding shares of the outstanding step-
down preferred stock, of which $142 million was purchased between the oÅer date and December 31, 2005. During 2006, we
purchased an additional $27 million of the preferred stock. The preferred stock continues to be redeemable by the REITs
under certain circumstances described in the preferred stock oÅering documents as a ""tax event redemption.''

NOTE 19: EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Because we have participating securities, we use the ""two-class'' method of computing earnings per share. Basic
earnings per common share are computed by dividing Net income available to common stockholders by Weighted average
common shares outstanding-basic for the period. Diluted earnings per common share are computed as Net income available
to common stockholders divided by Weighted average common shares outstanding-diluted for the period, which consider
the eÅect of dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding. The eÅect of dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding
includes: (a) the weighted average shares related to stock options (including the ESPP) that have an exercise price lower
than the average market price during the period; (b) the weighted average of non-vested restricted shares; and (c) all
restricted  stock  units.  Such  items  are  excluded  from  Weighted  average  common  shares  outstanding Ì basic.  See
""NOTE 11: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION'' for additional information. For the years ended December 31, 2006,
2005 and 2004, there were approximately 1,808,000, 1,929,000 and 2,239,000 of dilutive common equivalent shares
outstanding that could potentially dilute earnings per common share.

Options to purchase 1.9 million, 2.3 million and 2.4 million shares of common stock were excluded from the
computation of Diluted earnings per common share at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, because the options'
exercise price exceeded the average market price of the common stock for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and
2004, respectively.

PROPERTIES

We own a 75 percent interest in a limited partnership that owns our principal oÇces, consisting of four oÇce buildings
in McLean, Virginia, that comprise approximately 1.3 million square feet. We occupy this headquarters complex under a
long-term lease from the partnership.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved as a party to a variety of legal proceedings arising from time to time in the ordinary course of business
including, among other things, contractual disputes, personal injury claims, employment-related litigation and other legal
proceedings incidental to our business.

Furthermore, we are frequently involved, directly or indirectly, in litigation involving mortgage foreclosures. We also are

involved in proceedings arising from our termination of a seller/servicer's eligibility to sell mortgages to, and service
mortgages for, us. In these cases, the former seller/servicer sometimes seeks damages against us for wrongful termination
under a variety of legal theories. In addition, we are sometimes sued in connection with the origination or servicing of
mortgages. These suits generally involve claims alleging wrongful actions of seller/servicers. Our contracts with our seller/
servicers generally provide for them to indemnify us against liability arising from their wrongful actions.

We are also subject to various legal proceedings, including regulatory investigations and administrative and civil
litigation, arising from the restatement of our 2002 and prior consolidated Ñnancial statements. In addition, we have been
named in multiple lawsuits alleging violations of federal and state antitrust laws and state consumer protection laws in
connection with the setting of our guarantee fees.

Litigation and claims resolution are subject to many uncertainties and are not susceptible to accurate prediction. For

additional  information  on  our  legal  proceedings,  see  ""NOTE  13:  LEGAL  CONTINGENCIES''  and  ""NOTE  14:
INCOME TAXES'' to our consolidated Ñnancial statements.

appointed by the President of the United States. Prior to our March 31, 2004 Annual Meeting, the OÇce of Counsel to the President informed us that
the President did not intend to reappoint any of his then-current presidential appointees. Consequently, each of their terms as presidential appointees
ended on the date of that annual meeting. No new appointees have been named by the President as of March 15, 2007.

Additional information regarding our directors and executive oÇcers is set forth in our proxy statement for our annual

meeting of stockholders to be held on June 8, 2007, and is incorporated herein by reference. Additional information
