FEDERAL EXPRESS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

(1) General

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. These interim financial statements of Federal Express Corporation (“FedEx Express”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information, the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2007 (“Annual Report”). Accordingly, significant accounting policies and other disclosures normally provided have been omitted since such items are disclosed therein.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly our financial position as of August 31, 2007 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2007 and 2006. Operating results for the three-month period ended August 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending May 31, 2008.

We are a wholly owned subsidiary of FedEx Corporation (“FedEx”) engaged in a single line of business and operate in one business segment — the worldwide express transportation and distribution of goods and documents.

Except as otherwise specified, references to years indicate our fiscal year ending May 31, 2008 or ended May 31 of the year referenced and comparisons are to the corresponding period of the prior year.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION. FedEx has two types of equity-based compensation: stock options and restricted stock. The key terms of the stock option and restricted stock awards granted under FedEx’s incentive stock plans are set forth in FedEx’s Annual Report.

FedEx uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock options. The value of restricted stock awards is based on the price of the stock on the grant date. We recognize stock-based compensation on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award in the “Salaries and employee benefits” caption of our condensed consolidated income statement.

Our total share-based compensation expense was $8 million for the three months ended August 31, 2007 and August 31, 2006. This amount represents the amount charged to us by FedEx for awards granted to our employees.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS. New accounting rules and disclosure requirements can significantly impact the comparability of our financial statements. We believe the following new accounting pronouncement is relevant to the readers of our financial statements.

-7-

On June 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” This interpretation establishes new standards for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns.

The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 was immaterial. Upon adoption, our liability for income taxes under FIN 48 was $59 million, and the balance of accrued interest and penalties was $21 million. The liability recorded includes $49 million associated with positions that if favorably resolved would provide a benefit to our effective tax rate. We classify interest related to income tax liabilities as interest expense, and if applicable, penalties are recognized as a component of income tax expense. These income tax liabilities and accrued interest and penalties are presented as noncurrent liabilities because payment of cash is not anticipated within one year of the balance sheet date. These noncurrent income tax liabilities are recorded in the caption “Other liabilities” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examination for years through 2003 except for specific U.S. federal income tax positions that are in various stages of appeal. No resolution date can be reasonably estimated at this time for these appeals.

It is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome or the timing of resolution for tax positions under FIN 48. Changes may result from the conclusion of ongoing audits or appeals in state, local, federal and foreign tax jurisdictions, or from the resolution of various competent authority proceedings between the U.S. and foreign tax authorities. Our liability for tax positions under FIN 48 includes no matters that are individually material to us. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the benefit with respect to certain of our unrecognized tax positions will increase or decrease within the next 12 months, but an estimate of the range of the reasonably possible outcomes cannot be made. However, we do not expect that the resolution of any of our tax positions under FIN 48 will be material.

(2) Comprehensive Income

The following table provides a reconciliation of net income reported in our financial statements to comprehensive income (in millions):

	Three Months Ended
	August 31,
	2007		2006
Net income	$	320	$	289
Other comprehensive income:
Foreign currency translation adjustments, net of deferred tax benefit of $1 in 2006		16		2
Amortization of unrealized pension actuarial gains/losses		1		—
Comprehensive income	$	337	$	291

(3) Retirement Plans

We sponsor or participate in programs that provide retirement benefits to most of our employees. These programs include defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution plans and retiree healthcare plans. A majority of our employees are covered by the FedEx Corporation Employees’ Pension Plan (“FedEx Plan”), a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by our parent, FedEx. The FedEx Plan covers certain U.S. employees age 21 and over with at least one year of service and provides benefits primarily based on average earnings and years of service. Defined contribution plans covering a majority of U.S. employees and certain international employees are in place. We also sponsor or participate in nonqualified benefit plans covering certain of our U.S. employee groups and other pension plans covering certain of our international employees. For more information, refer to the financial statements of FedEx included in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 31, 2007.

-8-

We incurred retirement plans costs of $82 million for the three months ended August 31, 2007 and $114 million for the three months ended August 31, 2006. Included in retirement plans costs, we incurred net periodic benefit costs of $36 million for the three months ended August 31, 2007, and $74 million for the three months ended August 31, 2006, for our participation in the FedEx Plan. These decreases are primarily due to the changes in our retirement plans announced in February 2007. These changes are described in our Annual Report.

For the plans currently sponsored by us, the net periodic benefit cost of the pension and postretirement healthcare plans for the three-month periods ended August 31 was as follows (in millions):

							Postretirement
	Pension Plans						Healthcare Plans
	2007			2006			2007			2006
Service cost	$	6		$	4		$	7		$	6
Interest cost		5			4			7			6
Expected return on plan assets		(4	)		(2	)		—			—
Recognized actuarial losses/(gains)		1			—			(1	)		(1	)
	$	8		$	6		$	13		$	11

No material contributions were made during the first quarter of 2008 or 2007 to pension plans sponsored by us.

(4) Commitments

As of August 31, 2007, our purchase commitments for the remainder of 2008 and annually thereafter under various contracts were as follows (in millions):

			Aircraft-
	Aircraft		Related (1)		Other (2)		Total
2008 (remainder)	$	325	$	122	$	20	$	467
2009		810		143		12		965
2010		907		135		11		1,053
2011		665		11		10		686
2012		30		—		9		39
Thereafter		—		—		107		107

(1)	Primarily aircraft modifications.
(2)	Primarily advertising and promotions contracts.

The amounts reflected in the table above for purchase commitments represent non-cancelable agreements to purchase goods or services. Commitments to purchase aircraft in passenger configuration do not include the attendant costs to modify these aircraft for cargo transport unless we have entered into non-cancelable commitments to modify such aircraft. Open purchase orders that are cancelable are not considered unconditional purchase obligations for financial reporting purposes and are not included in the table above.

-9-

Deposits and progress payments of $95 million have been made toward aircraft purchases, options to purchase additional aircraft and other planned aircraft-related transactions. In addition, we have committed to modify our DC10 aircraft for two-man cockpit configurations. Future payments related to these activities are included in the table above. Aircraft and aircraft-related contracts are subject to price escalations. The following table is a summary of the number and type of aircraft we are committed to purchase as of August 31, 2007 with the year of expected delivery by type:

	A300		B757		B777F		Total
2008 (remainder)		6		7		—		13
2009		3		14		—		17
2010		—		4		6		10
2011		—		5		9		14
2012		—		3		—		3
Total		9		33		15		57

A summary of future minimum lease payments under capital leases at August 31, 2007 is as follows (in millions):

2008 (remainder)	$	96
2009		12
2010		95
2011		6
2012		6
Thereafter		117
		332
Less amount representing interest		40
Present value of net minimum lease payments	$	292

A summary of future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases with an initial or remaining term in excess of one year at August 31, 2007 is as follows (in millions):

	Aircraft and Related		Facilities and
	Equipment		Other		Total
2008 (remainder)	$	454	$	427	$	881
2009		555		475		1,030
2010		544		393		937
2011		526		330		856
2012		504		283		787
Thereafter		3,430		2,321		5,751
	$	6,013	$	4,229	$	10,242

While certain of our lease agreements contain covenants governing the use of the leased assets or require us to maintain certain levels of insurance, none of our lease agreements include material financial covenants or limitations.

We make payments under certain leveraged operating leases that are sufficient to pay principal and interest on certain pass-through certificates. The pass-through certificates are not our direct obligations, nor do we guarantee them.

-10-

(5) Contingencies

Wage-and-Hour. We are a defendant in a number of lawsuits filed in federal courts containing various class-action allegations of wage-and-hour violations. The plaintiffs in these lawsuits allege, among other things, that they were forced to work “off the clock,” were not paid overtime or were not provided work breaks or other benefits. The plaintiffs generally seek unspecified monetary damages, injunctive relief, or both. We have denied any liability and intend to vigorously defend ourselves in these wage-and-hour lawsuits. Given the nature and status of the claims in these lawsuits, we cannot yet determine the amount or a reasonable range of potential loss, if any.

Other. We are subject to other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. In the opinion of management, the aggregate liability, if any, with respect to these other actions will not materially adversely affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(6) Parent/Affiliate Transactions

Affiliate company balances that are currently receivable or payable relate to charges for functions provided by or to FedEx affiliates and are settled on a monthly basis. The noncurrent intercompany balance amounts at August 31, 2007 and May 31, 2007 primarily represent the net activity from participation in FedEx’s consolidated cash management program. These net amounts are reflected as financing activities on the statements of cash flows. In addition, we are allocated interest income on these amounts at market rates.

We maintain an accounts receivable arrangement with FedEx Customer Information Services, Inc. (“FCIS”), a subsidiary of FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. (“FedEx Services”). FedEx Services is a wholly owned subsidiary of FedEx. Under this arrangement, FCIS records and collects receivables associated with our domestic package delivery functions, while we continue to recognize revenue for the transportation services provided. At August 31, 2007, our net receivables recorded by FCIS totaled approximately $1.2 billion. At May 31, 2007, our net receivables recorded by FCIS totaled approximately $1.3 billion.

During the first quarter of 2008, FedEx revised its reportable segments as a result of an internal reorganization of FedEx Kinko’s Office and Print Services, Inc. (“FedEx Kinko’s”). As a result, FedEx Kinko’s is now part of the FedEx Services segment and the FedEx Services segment is now a reportable segment. FedEx Services provides customer-facing sales, marketing and information support to us and our sister company FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. FedEx Kinko’s provides retail access to our customers.

The costs of FedEx Services are allocated to us and are included in the expense line item “Intercompany charges” based on metrics such as relative revenues or estimated services provided. We believe these allocations approximate the net cost of providing these functions.

(7) Supplemental Cash Flow Information

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholder
Federal Express Corporation

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Federal Express Corporation as of August 31, 2007, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2007 and 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Federal Express Corporation as of May 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in owner’s equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the year then ended not presented herein, and in our report dated July 9, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2007, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

GENERAL

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition, which describes the principal factors affecting the results of operations and financial condition of Federal Express Corporation (“FedEx Express”), is abbreviated pursuant to General Instruction H(2)(a) of Form 10-Q. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2007 (“Annual Report”). Our Annual Report includes additional information about our significant accounting policies, practices and the transactions that underlie our financial results. For additional information, including a discussion of outlook, liquidity, capital resources, contractual cash obligations and critical accounting estimates, see the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of our parent, FedEx Corporation (“FedEx”), for the quarter ended August 31, 2007.

We are the world’s largest express transportation company. FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. (“FedEx Services”) provides customer-facing sales, marketing and information support to us and our sister company FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. (“FedEx Ground”), as well as retail access for our services to customers through FedEx Kinko’s Office and Print Services, Inc. (“FedEx Kinko’s”).

The operating expenses line item “Intercompany charges” on the financial summary below represents an allocation primarily of salaries and benefits, depreciation and other costs for the sales, marketing and information technology support provided to us by FedEx Services. The costs for these activities are allocated based on metrics such as relative revenues or estimated services provided. In addition, “Intercompany charges” includes allocated charges from our parent for management fees related to services received for general corporate oversight, including executive officers and certain legal and finance functions.

During the first quarter of 2008, FedEx revised its reportable segments as a result of an internal reorganization of FedEx Kinko’s. As a result, FedEx Kinko’s is now part of the FedEx Services segment and the FedEx Services segment is a reportable segment. FedEx Kinko’s provides retail access to our customers, and as such, a portion of FedEx Kinko’s net operating costs are now allocated to us and included in the expense line “Intercompany charges.” We believe the total amounts allocated reasonably reflect the cost of providing these functions.

The key indicators necessary to understand our operating results include:

• the overall customer demand for our various services;

• the volume of shipments transported through our network, as measured by our average daily volume and shipment weight;

• the mix of services purchased by our customers;

• the prices we obtain for our services, as measured by average revenue per package (yield);

• our ability to manage our cost structure for capital expenditures and operating expenses and to match our cost structure to shifting volume levels; and

• the timing and amount of fluctuations in fuel prices and our ability to recover incremental fuel costs through our supplemental fuel surcharges.

Except as otherwise specified, references to years indicate our fiscal year ending May 31, 2008 or ended May 31 of the year referenced and comparisons are to the corresponding period of the prior year.

Revenues

Revenues increased 4% in the first quarter of 2008 primarily due to solid growth in IP revenue, partially offset by decreases in U.S. domestic package revenues driven by the continued softening U.S. economic environment. IP revenues grew 9%, on volume growth of 6% and yield improvement of 3% with continued growth in Asia, U.S. outbound and Europe. Significant increases in international domestic revenues were driven by companies acquired in the second half of 2007 (primarily in the United Kingdom). Freight revenues grew 2% in the first quarter based principally on stronger international priority freight volumes.

IP volume growth during the first quarter of 2008 was primarily due to increased demand in Asia, resulting from continued expansion of our services in Asian markets, as well as increases in the U.S. outbound and European markets. U.S. domestic package volumes decreased 1% during the first quarter of 2008 primarily due to the impact of the continued soft U.S. economy.

IP yield increased during the first quarter of 2008 primarily due to favorable exchange rates, increases in international average weight per package and changes in region mix, which were partially offset by lower fuel surcharges. International domestic yield decreased during the first quarter of 2008 primarily as a result of lower-yielding services at the companies acquired in the second half of 2007. Freight yield increased 5% due to changes in service mix and an increase in the average rate per pound.

Our fuel surcharge is indexed to the spot price for jet fuel. Using this index, the U.S. domestic and outbound fuel surcharge and the international fuel surcharges ranged as follows for the three month periods ended August 31:

	2007			2006
U.S. Domestic and Outbound Fuel Surcharge:
Low		13.50	%		16.00	%
High		14.00			16.00
Weighted-average		13.67			16.00
International Fuel Surcharges:
Low		12.00			12.50
High		15.50			16.00
Weighted-average		14.00			14.63

Operating Income

During the first quarter of 2008, our operating income and operating margin improved as a result of revenue growth and cost containment, including reduced retirement plans costs and lower variable incentive compensation. Continued volume growth in IP services contributed to increased operating income, despite the softening U.S. economy and its impact on U.S. domestic package revenues. Continued investment in domestic express services in China, however, negatively impacted results in the first quarter of 2008.

Operating expense growth was constrained and lower than revenue growth in most categories, as cost controls were in effect throughout the quarter. Purchased transportation costs increased 6% in the first quarter of 2008 primarily due to the inclusion of our 2007 acquisitions and IP volume growth, which required a higher utilization of contract pickup and delivery services and an increase in the cost of purchased transportation. These increases were partially offset by the elimination of payments for pickup and delivery services to our China joint venture due to its acquisition in the second half of 2007. Depreciation expense increased 12% in the first quarter of 2008 primarily due to aircraft purchases and our 2007 acquisitions. Other operating expenses increased 12% during the first quarter of 2008 principally due to the inclusion of our 2007 acquisitions and the elimination of prior year net profits from our China joint venture due to its acquisition. Although fuel costs remained fairly constant during the first quarter of 2008, fuel surcharges did not offset the effect of fuel costs on our year-over-year operating results due to the timing lag that exists between when we purchase fuel and when our fuel surcharges are adjusted, based on a static analysis of the year-over-year changes in fuel prices compared to changes in fuel surcharges.

Other Income and Income Taxes

Interest income increased during the first quarter of 2008 primarily due to higher rates paid on invested cash and reduced interest expense resulting from regularly scheduled debt maturities. Other expense increased during the first quarter of 2008 primarily due to allocations from FedEx Services.

Our effective tax rate was 36.3% for the first quarter of 2008 and 38.4% for the first quarter of 2007. The 2008 tax rate was lower than the 2007 rate primarily due to a favorable tax audit adjustment and to increased international earnings permanently reinvested in our global network outside the United States. We expect the effective tax rate to be 37.5% to 38.0% for the remainder of 2008. The actual rate will depend on a number of factors, including the amount and source of operating income.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

New accounting rules and disclosure requirements can significantly impact the comparability of our financial statements. We believe the following new accounting pronouncement is relevant to the readers of our financial statements.

-16-

On June 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” This interpretation establishes new standards for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 was immaterial. For additional information on the impact of adoption of FIN 48, refer to Note 1 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this report are “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, plans, objectives, future performance and business. Forward-looking statements include those preceded by, followed by or that include the words “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “estimates,” “targets,” “projects,” “intends” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated (expressed or implied) by such forward-looking statements, because of, among other things, potential risks and uncertainties, such as:

• economic conditions in the global markets in which we operate;

• the impact of any international conflicts or terrorist activities on the United States and global economies in general, the transportation industry or us in particular, and what effects these events will have on our costs or the demand for our services;

• damage to our reputation or loss of brand equity;

• disruptions to the Internet or our technology infrastructure, including those impacting our computer systems and Web site, which can adversely affect shipment levels;

• the price and availability of jet fuel;

• the impact of intense competition on our ability to maintain or increase our prices (including our fuel surcharges in response to rising fuel costs) or to maintain or grow our market share;

• our ability to manage our cost structure for capital expenditures and operating expenses, and match it to shifting and future customer volume levels;

• our ability to effectively operate, integrate, leverage and grow acquired businesses;

• any impacts on our businesses resulting from new domestic or international government regulation, including regulatory actions affecting global aviation rights, increased air cargo and other security requirements, and tax, accounting, labor or environmental rules;

• changes in foreign currency exchange rates, especially in the euro, Chinese yuan, Canadian dollar, British pound and Japanese yen, which can affect our sales levels and foreign currency sales prices;

• any liability resulting from and the costs of defending against class-action litigation, such as wage-and-hour and race discrimination claims, and any other legal proceedings;

• our ability to maintain good relationships with our employees;

-17-

• a shortage of qualified labor and our ability to mitigate this shortage through recruiting and retention efforts and productivity gains;

• increasing costs and the volatility of costs for employee benefits, especially pension and healthcare benefits;

• significant changes in the volume of shipments transported through our network, customer demand for our various services or the prices we obtain for our services;

• market acceptance of our new service and growth initiatives;

• the impact of technology developments on our operations and on demand for our services;

• adverse weather conditions or natural disasters, such as earthquakes and hurricanes, which can damage our property, disrupt our operations, increase fuel costs and adversely affect shipment levels;

• widespread outbreak of an illness or any other communicable disease, or any other public health crisis;

• availability of financing on terms acceptable to us and our ability to maintain our current credit ratings, especially given the capital intensity of our operations; and

• other risks and uncertainties you can find in FedEx’s and our press releases and SEC filings, including the risk factors identified under the heading “Risk Factors” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” in our Annual Report, as updated by our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

As a result of these and other factors, no assurance can be given as to our future results and achievements. Accordingly, a forward-looking statement is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of future events or circumstances, and those future events or circumstances may not occur. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
