ENDNOTES
(1) The activity and balances set forth in these tables represent contractual
amounts of unpaid principal balances, which are measures that differ from the
balance of the mortgage-related investments portfolio as calculated in
conformity with GAAP, and exclude mortgage loans and mortgage-related
securities traded, but not yet settled.  The mortgage-related investments
portfolio amounts set forth in this report exclude premiums, discounts,
deferred fees and other basis adjustments, the allowance for loan losses on
mortgage loans held-for-investment, and unrealized gains or losses on
mortgage-related securities that are reflected in our mortgage-related
investments portfolio under GAAP.

(2) Total mortgage portfolio (Table 1) is defined as total guaranteed PCs and
Structured Securities issued (Table 4) plus the sum of mortgage loans (Table
3) and non-Freddie Mac mortgage-related securities (agency and non-agency)
(Table 3).

(3) Total mortgage portfolio Purchases and Issuances (Table 1) is defined as
mortgage-related investments portfolio purchases (Table 2) plus total
guaranteed PCs and Structured Securities issuances (Table 4) less purchases of
Freddie Mac PCs and Structured Securities into the mortgage-related
investments portfolio.  Purchases of Freddie Mac PCs and Structured Securities
into the mortgage-related investments portfolio totaled $8,234 million (based
on unpaid principal balance) during the month of May 2009.

(4) Includes sales of non-Freddie Mac mortgage-related securities and
multifamily mortgage loans from our mortgage-related investments portfolio.
Excludes the transfer of single-family mortgage loans through transactions
that qualify as sales and all transfers through swap-based exchanges.

(5) Issuances and liquidations for the five months ended May 31, 2009 include
approximately $5.7 billion of conversions of previously issued long-term
standby commitments into either PCs or Structured Transactions.  These
conversion amounts, based on the unpaid principal balance of the single-family
mortgage loans, are included in liquidations, representing the termination of
the original agreement and, in the same month, are included in issuances,
representing the new securities issued.  Excluding these conversions, the
amount of our issuances for the five months ended May 31, 2009 would have been
$192.9 billion in Table 4 and the annualized liquidation rate for the five
months ended May 31, 2009 in Tables 1 and 4 would have been 21.5% and 24.2%,
respectively.  As of May 31, 2009, the ending balance of our PCs and
Structured Securities, excluding outstanding long-term standby commitments,
would have been $1,832 billion in Table 4.

(6) "Single-family mortgage loans purchased for cash are reported net of
transfers of such mortgage loans through transactions that qualify as sales
under GAAP as well as all transfers through swap-based exchanges.

(7) See Endnote 4.  Also includes:  (a) net additions to our mortgage-related
investments portfolio for delinquent mortgage loans purchased out of PC pools,
(b) balloon/reset mortgages purchased out of PC pools and (c) transfers of PCs
and Structured Securities from our mortgage-related investments portfolio
reported as sales.

(8) Mortgage purchase and sale agreements reflects trades entered into during
the month and includes: (a) monthly commitments to purchase mortgage-related
securities for our mortgage-related investments portfolio offset by monthly
commitments to sell mortgage-related securities out of our mortgage-related
investments portfolio and (b) the net amount of monthly mortgage loan purchase
and sale agreements entered into during the month.  Substantially all of these
commitments are settled by delivery of a mortgage-related security or mortgage
loan; the rest are net settled for cash.  Mortgage purchase and sale
agreements also includes the net amount of mortgage-related securities that we
expect to purchase or sell pursuant to written and purchased options entered
into during the month for which we expect to take or make delivery of the
securities.  In some instances, commitments may settle during the same period
in which we have entered into the related commitment.

(9) Includes PCs, Structured Securities and tax-exempt multifamily housing
revenue bonds for which we provide a guarantee, as well as credit-related
commitments with respect to single-family mortgage loans held by third
parties.  Excludes Structured Securities where we have resecuritized our PCs
and Structured Securities.  These resecuritized securities do not increase our
credit-related exposure and consist of single-class Structured Securities
backed by PCs, Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMICs) and
principal-only strips.  Notional balances of interest-only strips are excluded
because this table is based on unpaid principal balance.   Some of the
excluded REMICs are modifiable and combinable REMIC tranches, where the holder
has the option to exchange the security tranches for other pre-defined
security tranches.  Additional information concerning our guarantees issued
through resecuritization can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, dated
March 11, 2009.

(10) Represents principal repayments relating to PCs and Structured
Securities, including those backed by non-Freddie Mac mortgage-related
securities, and relating to securities issued by others and single-family
mortgage loans held by third parties that we guarantee.  Also includes our
purchases of delinquent mortgage loans and balloon/reset mortgage loans out of
PC pools.

(11) Represents the combined balance and activity of our senior and
subordinated debt based on the par values of these liabilities.

(12) Single-family delinquencies are based on the number of mortgages 90 days
or more delinquent or in foreclosure as of period end while multifamily
delinquencies are based on the net carrying value of mortgages 90 days or more
delinquent or in foreclosure as of period end.  Delinquency rates presented in
Table 6 exclude mortgage loans underlying Structured Transactions and PCs
backed by Ginnie Mae Certificates as well as mortgage loans whose original
contractual terms have been modified under an agreement with the borrower as
long as the borrower is less than 90 days delinquent under the modified
contractual terms.  Structured Transactions typically have underlying mortgage
loans with a variety of risk characteristics.  Many of these Structured
Transactions have security-level credit protections from losses in addition to
loan-level credit protection that may also exist.  Additional information
concerning Structured Transactions can be found in our Annual Report on Form
10-K, dated March 11, 2009.

The unpaid principal balance of our single-family Structured Transactions at
May 31, 2009 was $26.6 billion, representing approximately 1% of our total
mortgage portfolio.  Included in this balance is $4.9 billion that are backed
by subordinated securities, including $1.8 billion of these that are secured
by FHA/VA loans, for which those agencies provide recourse for 100% of the
qualifying losses associated with the loan.  Structured Transactions backed by
subordinated securities benefit from credit protection from the related
subordinated tranches, which we do not purchase or guarantee.  The remaining
$21.7 billion of our Structured Transactions as of May 31, 2009 are
single-class, or pass-through securities, including $10.3 billion of option
ARMs, which do not benefit from structural or other credit enhancement
protections.  The delinquency rate for our single-family Structured
Transactions was 7.56% at May 31, 2009.  The total single-family delinquency
rate including our Structured Transactions was 2.73% at May 31, 2009.  Below
are the delinquency rates of our Structured Transactions:

Structured Transactions securitized by: subordinated securities, including
FHA/VA guarantees 20.6%; option ARM pass-through securities 13.7%; other
pass-through securities 0.5%.

Previously reported delinquency data is subject to change to reflect currently
available information.  Revisions to previously reported delinquency rates
have not been significant nor have they significantly affected the overall
trend of our single-family delinquency rates.

(13) Other Investments ending balance consists of our cash and investments
portfolio, which as of May 31, 2009 consists of: $59.2 billion of cash and
cash equivalents; $36.9 billion of federal funds sold and securities purchased
under agreements to resell; and $18.4 billion of non-mortgage investments.
Non-mortgage investments within this balance are presented at fair value.

(14) Our PMVS and duration gap measures provide useful estimates of key
interest-rate risk and include the impact of our purchases and sales of
derivative instruments, which we use to limit our exposure to changes in
interest rates.  Our PMVS measures are estimates of the amount of average
potential pre-tax loss in the market value of our net assets due to parallel
(PMVS-L) and non-parallel (PMVS-YC) changes in London Interbank Offered Rates
(LIBOR).  While we believe that our PMVS and duration gap metrics are useful
