Background
The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY” or “the Bank”) is a federally chartered corporation, exempt from federal, state and local taxes except real property taxes. It is one of twelve district Federal Home Loan Banks (“FHLBanks”). The FHLBanks are U.S. government-sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”), organized under the authority of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932, as amended (“FHLBank Act”). Each FHLBank is a cooperative owned by member institutions located within a defined geographic district. The members purchase capital stock in the FHLBank and receive dividends on their capital stock investment. The FHLBNY’s defined geographic district includes New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The FHLBNY provides a readily available, low-cost source of funds for its member institutions. The FHLBNY does not have any wholly or partially owned subsidiaries, nor does it have an equity position in any partnerships, corporations, or off-balance-sheet special purpose entities.
All federally insured depository institutions, insured credit unions and insurance companies engaged in residential housing finance can apply for membership in the FHLBank in their district, as can all community financial institutions. As a result of these requirements, the FHLBNY conducts business with related parties in the normal course of business. As is the nature of a cooperative, the FHLBNY considers all members as related parties in addition to other FHLBanks.
The FHLBNY’s primary business is making collateralized loans, known as “advances,” to members, and is the primary focus of the Bank’s operations and also the principal factor that impacts the financial condition of the FHLBNY.
The FHLBNY is supervised and regulated by the Federal Housing Finance Board (“Finance Board”), which is an independent agency in the executive branch of the U.S. government. The Finance Board ensures that the FHLBNY carries out its housing and community development mission, remains adequately capitalized and able to raise funds in the capital markets, and operates in a safe and sound manner. However, while the Finance Board establishes regulations governing the operations of the FHLBanks, the Bank functions as a separate entity with its own management, employees and board of directors.
On August 29, 2005, the FHLBNY filed Amendment No. 1 to its Form 10 (hereafter, “Form 10”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The FHLBNY’s registration with the SEC of its equity securities, pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, was deemed effective on that date.
The FHLBNY obtains its funds from several sources. A primary source is the sale of FHLBank debt instruments to the public. The issuance and servicing of consolidated obligations are performed by the Office of Finance, a joint office of the FHLBanks established by the Finance Board. These debt instruments are known as consolidated obligations, since they represent the joint and several obligations of all the FHLBanks. Additional sources of FHLBNY funding are member deposits, other borrowings, and the issuance of capital stock. Deposits may come from member financial institutions and federal instrumentalities.
The FHLBNY’s website is www.fhlbny.com. The FHLBNY has adopted, and posted on the “Corporate Governance” section of its website, a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to all its employees and directors.

Tax Status
Resolution Funding Corporation (REFCORP) Assessments. Although the FHLBNY is exempt from ordinary federal, state, and local taxation except for local real estate tax, it is required to make payments to REFCORP.
REFCORP was established by Act of Congress in 1989 to help facilitate the U.S. government’s bailout of failed financial institutions. The REFCORP assessments are used by the Treasury to pay a portion of the annual interest expense on long-term obligations issued to finance a portion of the cost of the bailout. Principal of those long-term obligations is paid from a segregated account containing zero-coupon U.S. government obligations, which were purchased using funds that Congress directed the FHLBanks to provide for that purpose.
Each FHLBank is required to pay 20 percent of income calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) after the assessment for Affordable Housing Program, but before the assessment for the REFCORP. The Affordable Housing Program and REFCORP assessments are calculated simultaneously because of their interdependence on each other. The Bank accrues its REFCORP assessment on a monthly basis.
Affordable Housing Program (“AHP”) Assessments. Section 10(j) of the FHLBank Act requires each FHLBank to establish an Affordable Housing Program. Each FHLBank provides subsidies in the form of direct grants and below-market interest rate advances to members who use the funds to assist in the purchase, construction, or rehabilitation of housing for very low-, low-, and moderate-income households. Annually, the FHLBanks must set aside for the Affordable Housing Program the greater of $100 million or 10 percent of regulatory net income. Regulatory net income is defined as GAAP net income before interest expense related to mandatorily redeemable capital stock under SFAS 150 and the assessment for Affordable Housing Program, but after the assessment for REFCORP.
Basis of Presentation
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. requires management to make a number of judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities (if applicable), and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the report period. Although management believes these judgments, estimates, and assumptions to be reasonably accurate, actual results may differ. The information contained in the financial statements is unaudited. In the opinion of management, only normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim period results have been made. Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the FHLBNY’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, included in Form 10 filed on August 29, 2005.

Note 1. Accounting Adjustments, Change in Accounting Principle, and Recently Issued Accounting Standards & Interpretations
Accounting Adjustments
During the second quarter of 2005, the FHLBNY further refined the manner in which it measured ineffectiveness for certain highly-effective consolidated obligation and advance hedging relationships. The FHLBNY believes the refined methodology is closely in compliance with the valuation methodology prescribed under SFAS 133.
Under the FHLBNY’s prior approach in use since June 2004, the FHLBNY had appropriately adjusted the basis adjustment of the hedged consolidated bonds in the first period of the hedging relationship to ensure that only changes in value attributable to changes in interest rates were included in the basis adjustment. However, the FHLBNY had not continued to make adjustments to the changes in fair value of the hedged instruments to eliminate changes in value attributable to the passage of time from the calculated basis adjustments. In the second quarter of 2005, the FHLBNY retroactively computed the appropriate adjustments and recorded a charge to earnings of $3.9 million dollars with an offsetting increase in the basis of the hedged consolidated obligation bonds.
The FHLBNY had previously measured the ineffectiveness of hedged advances by discounting the future cash flows of the hedged advances by LIBOR, the FHLBNY’s adopted benchmark interest rate. However, the initial present value of cash flows was assumed to be the par value of the advance and a beginning model value was not calculated for comparison with end of period valuations. This resulted in an inappropriate gain being recorded in the first hedge period, and the reversing effects of the inappropriate gain being reflected over the remaining hedge period.
Under the more refined methodology, the FHLBNY has discounted the future cash flows of the hedged advance by adding a spread to the benchmark swap curve to adjust for the credit spread between the FHLBNY’s advance and the swap curve. This methodology eliminates the initial present value differences between par and the present value of future cash flows at hedge inception, and is in compliance with SFAS 133. As a result of the inappropriate use of its previous methodology, the FHLBNY made a cumulative change for prior periods in its second quarter of 2005 financial statements to implement the refined methodology, resulting in a $3.5 million charge to earnings.
Change in Accounting Principle for Amortization and Accretion of Premiums and Discounts on Mortgage Loans
Amortization and accretion on premiums and discounts on mortgage loans have been computed by the contractual method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 91, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases” (“FAS 91”), effective January 1, 2005. Previously, amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts was computed using the retrospective method with estimated life, which requires a retrospective adjustment each time the FHLBNY changes the estimated remaining life of the mortgage loans. The retrospective method is intended to correct prior period reported amounts as if the new estimate had been known since the original acquisition date of the mortgage loans. While both methods are acceptable under GAAP, we believe that the contractual method is preferable because under the contractual method, the income effects of premiums and discounts are recognized in a manner that is reflective of the actual behavior of the mortgage loans during the period in which the behavior occurs without regard to changes in estimates based on assumptions about future borrower behavior. As a result of the change in accounting principle, income of $1.1 million, before assessments, was recorded on January 1, 2005 as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards & Interpretations
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” SFAS 154 generally requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of all voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes required when a new pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. This standard applies to FHLBNY January 1, 2006. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 154 to have a significant impact on our financial statements.
In November 2005, the FASB issued FSP 115-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments”, (“FSP 115-1”). FSP 115-1 supersedes EITF 03-1 and replaces the guidance set forth in EITF Topic No.-44. The guidance provides a model that should be followed in the determination of impairment on investment and debt securities. The FHLBNY does not expect FSP 115-1 to have a material impact on the FHLBNY’s financial statements.
The FASB has issued three proposed amendments to Statement No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”(“FAS 140”): (1) provides guidance for determining whether financial assets must first be transferred to a qualifying special-purpose entity (“QSPE”) to be derecognized, (2) provides additional guidance on permitted activities of QSPEs, (3) eliminates the prohibition on a QSPE’s ability to hold passive derivative financial instruments that pertain to beneficial interests held by a transferor, and (4) requires that interests related to transferred financial assets held by a transferor must be initially measured at fair value. The proposed amendments also provides guidance for the accounting and additional disclosures for servicing of financial assets. The proposed amendment sets out to clarify the accounting for hybrid financial instruments and would amend Statement 133 and FAS 140. While we do not expect the amendments to have a material impact on the financial position of the FHLBNY, the impact, if any, cannot be fully assessed until the final guidance is issued.

In the three months ended September 30, 2005, the FHLBNY sold $9.0 million of held-to-maturity MBS at a gain of $35 thousand to “clean-up” the residual balance of a security and the sale is considered an “in-substance maturity”, in accordance with SFAS 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”.
Securities Impairment
Temporary impairment. The following table summarizes held-to-maturity securities with fair values below their amortized cost, i.e., in an unrealized loss position. The FHLBNY has both the intent and financial ability to hold the temporarily impaired securities to recovery of their value. In addition, the FHLBNY has reviewed the investment security holdings and determined, based on creditworthiness of the securities and including any underlying collateral and/or insurance provisions of the security, that unrealized losses in the analysis below represent temporary impairment at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 (in thousands):

Note 7. Capital, Capital Ratios, and Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock
The FHLBanks, including the FHLBNY, have a unique cooperative structure. To access the FHLBNY’s products and services, a financial institution must be approved for membership and purchase capital stock in the FHLBNY.
The members’ stock requirements are generally based on their use of FHLBNY products, subject to a minimum membership requirement, as prescribed by the FHLBank Act. FHLBNY stock can be issued, exchanged, redeemed and repurchased only at its stated par value of $100 per share. It is not publicly traded.
Each member is currently required to hold capital stock in the FHLBNY equal to the greater of either:
    5% of the member’s total outstanding advances; or
 
    1% of the member’s total unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans (usually as of the most recent year-end); or
 
    $500.
Under the existing capital structure, the FHLBNY’s capital stock is generally redeemable at the option of both the member and the FHLBNY with certain conditions. The FHLBNY has adopted a new Capital Plan that will be effective December 1, 2005. This plan impacts certain member rights, introduces new terms and requirements for member stock purchases, and specifies the actions that FHLBNY may take in the event of member excess stock redemption or member withdrawal requests. The FHLBNY will no longer have one class of member stock, but will have two subclasses of stock. Each subclass of member stock has a par value of $100 per share.
Leverage Limits and Unpledged Asset Requirements
The FHLBNY met the Finance Board’s requirement that unpledged assets, as defined under regulations, exceed the total of consolidated obligations at (in thousands):

Finance Board regulations require the FHLBanks to maintain, in the aggregate, unpledged qualifying assets equal to the consolidated obligations outstanding. Qualifying assets are defined as cash; secured advances; assets with an assessment or rating at least equivalent to the current assessment or rating of the consolidated obligations; obligations, participations, mortgages, or other securities of or issued by the United States or an agency of the United States; and such securities in which fiduciary and trust funds may invest under the laws of the state in which the FHLBank is located.

Percentage of unpledged qualified assets to consolidated obligations
    110 %     109 %
 
           
Capital Ratios
Finance Board regulations generally allow the FHLBanks, including the FHLBNY, to hold assets up to 21 times capital. However, a FHLBank whose average non-mortgage assets as defined in the Finance Board’s regulations that do not exceed 11 percent of its average total assets may hold assets in amounts up to 25 times capital. The FHLBNY was eligible for the higher asset-based leverage limit of 25 to 1 at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004.
At September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, FHLBNY met its regulatory requirements as follows:

Percentage of non-mortgage assets to total assets*
    5.92 %     11.00 %     (0.34 )%     11.00 %
 
                       
 
*   Under applicable regulations (12 CFR Part 966.3), deposit liabilities are subtracted and capital are subtracted from non-mortgage assets before calculating the ratio of non-mortgage assets to total assets. A negative percentage also indicates the limit has been met. For the purposes of this section, the amount of non-mortgage assets (after subtracting deposits and capital) equals total assets after deduction of: advances, acquired member assets, standby letters of credit, intermediary derivative contracts, and certain investments in mortgage-backed securities and state or local governmental units or agencies.
Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock
Generally, the FHLBNY’s capital stock is redeemable at the option of both the member and the FHLBNY subject to certain conditions. Dividends related to capital stock classified as mandatorily redeemable are accrued at an estimated dividend rate and reported as interest expense in the Statements of Income.
Mandatorily redeemable stock at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 represents stock held by former members who are no longer members by virtue of being acquired by members of another FHLBank. Such stock will be repaid when the stock is no longer required to support outstanding transactions with the FHLBNY.

Redemption rights of members
Existing capital structure
A member may request the redemption of excess stock at any time in accordance with Finance Board regulations, and the request is revocable by the member. Such request is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors of the FHLBNY and is not mandatory. However, redemption requests by members for excess stock are typically honored by the next business day. The FHLBNY may repurchase excess stock in its discretion at any time in accordance with Finance Board regulations.
Under the FHLBNY’s existing capital structure, a member who wishes to withdraw from membership must provide a withdrawal notice in writing six months prior to the withdrawal date. However, the member has the right to rescind the withdrawal notice without penalty at any time before the end of the six-month period.
Accounting considerations under existing capital structure
The three triggering events that could cause the FHLBNY to redeem capital stock are:
    a member requests redemption of excess stock;
 
    a member delivers notice of its intent to withdraw from membership; or
 
    a member attains non-member status (through merger into or acquisition by a non-member, or involuntary termination from membership).

Notes to Financial Statements — Unaudited
Prior to the adoption of FAS 150 on January 1, 2004, the FHLBNY repurchased excess stock upon the receipt of a request for redemption of such stock from a member, and the member was typically paid by the next business day. Subsequent to the adoption of FAS 150, there has been no change in the payment policy and no change in the accounting. The FHLBNY’s repurchase policy, for transactions initiated by itself, has varied over time and is at the discretion of the Bank. Currently, the FHLBNY repurchases excess stock daily.
When a member delivers a notification of its intent to withdraw from membership, in accordance with FAS 150 the reclassification from equity to a liability occurs after the six-month waiting period has elapsed since, at such time, the notification becomes irrevocable. Based on the fact that the member’s notification of its intent to withdraw from membership can be withdrawn by the member without penalty, the FHLBNY considers the member’s intent regarding such notification to be non-substantive in nature and therefore no reclassification to liability is necessary at the time the notice is delivered. There have been no requests for withdrawals from membership since the adoption of FAS 150, and there were no requests outstanding at September 30, 2005 or December 31, 2004.
Subsequent to the adoption of FAS 150, the FHLBNY reclassifies stock from equity to a liability once a member attains non-member status (through merger into or acquisition by a non-member, or involuntary termination from membership).
New Capital Plan
The FHLBNY at its discretion may redeem stock in excess of the stock required to support the member’s business transactions with the FHLBNY. This type of stock is referred to as “Activity-Based Stock” in the Capital Plan. Under the new Capital Plan, no provision is available for the member to request the redemption of Activity-Based Stock. Separately, the member may request the redemption of Membership Stock (the capital stock representing the member’s basic investment in the FHLBNY) in excess of the member’s Membership Stock purchase requirement, and the FHLBNY may also in its discretion repurchase such excess stock.
Under the FHLBNY’s new Capital Plan, scheduled to become effective on December 1, 2005, a notice of intent to withdraw from membership must be provided to the FHLBNY five years prior to the withdrawal date. At the end of such five-year period, the FHLBNY is obligated to redeem such stock unless it is needed to meet any applicable minimum stock investment requirements that may be established in the Capital Plan (e.g., to help secure any remaining advances) or if other limitations apply as specified in the Capital Plan.
The redemption notice may be cancelled by giving written notice to the FHLBNY at any time prior to the expiration of the five-year period. Also, the notice will be automatically cancelled if, within five business days of the expiration of the five-year period, the member would be unable to meet its minimum stock investment requirements (as may be established in the Capital Plan) following such redemption. However, in contrast to current practice, if the member rescinds the redemption notice during the five-year period (or if the notice is automatically cancelled), the FHLBNY will charge a $500 cancellation fee, which may be waived only if the FHLBNY’s Board of Directors determines that the requesting member has a bona fide business reason to do so and the waiver is consistent with Section 7(j) of the Bank Act. Section 7(j) requires that the FHLBNY’s Board of Directors administer the affairs of the FHLBNY fairly and impartially and without discrimination in favor of or against any member.

Accounting considerations under the new Capital Plan
The three triggering events that could cause the FHLBNY to redeem capital stock are:
    a member requests redemption of excess stock;
 
    a member delivers notice of its intent to withdraw from membership; or
 
    a member attains non-member status (through merger into or acquisition by a non-member, or involuntary termination from membership).
The member’s request to redeem excess Membership Stock is considered to be revocable until the stock is repaid. Based on the fact that the member’s request to redeem excess Membership Stock can be withdrawn by the member without a penalty, the FHLBNY considers the member’s intent regarding such request to be non-substantive in nature and therefore no reclassification to liability will be necessary at the time the request is delivered.
Under the new Capital Plan, when a member delivers a notification of its intent to withdraw from membership, the reclassification from equity to a liability will become effective when the notification becomes irrevocable. Such notification will become irrevocable at the end of the aforementioned five-year waiting period. Based on the fact that the member’s notification of withdrawal from membership can be withdrawn by the member without substantive penalty, the FHLBNY considers the member’s intent regarding such notification to be non-substantive in nature and therefore no reclassification to liability will be necessary at the time the notification of the intent to withdraw is delivered.
Under the new Capital Plan, the FHLBNY will classify stock as a liability once a member attains non-member status (through merger into or acquisition by a non-member, or involuntary termination from membership).

Note 9. Derivatives
The contractual or notional amount of derivatives reflects the involvement of the FHLBNY in the various classes of financial instruments. The notional amount of derivatives does not measure the credit risk exposure of the FHLBNY, and the maximum credit exposure of the FHLBNY is substantially less than the notional amount. The maximum credit risk is the estimated cost of replacing favorable interest-rate swaps, forward agreements, mandatory delivery contracts for mortgage loans outstanding at September 30, 2005, and purchased caps and floors if the counterparty defaults and the related collateral, if any, is of no value to the FHLBNY. This collateral has not been sold or re-pledged.
Recording of Derivatives and Hedged items . The FHLBNY records derivatives on trade date, but records the associated hedged item on settlement date. Hedge accounting commences on trade date, at which time subsequent changes to the derivative’s fair value are recorded along with the offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged item. On settlement date, the adjustments to the hedged item’s carrying amount are combined with the proceeds and become part of its total carrying amount.
The FHLBNY has defined its market settlement conventions for hedged items to be five business days or less for advances and thirty calendar days or less, using a next business day convention, for consolidated obligations bonds and discount notes. These market settlement conventions are the shortest period possible for each type of advances and consolidated obligations from the time the instruments are committed to the time they settle.
The FHLBNY considers hedges of committed advances and consolidated obligation bonds eligible for the short cut provisions, under paragraph 68 of FAS 133, as long as settlement of the committed asset or liability occurs within the shortest period possible for that type of instrument. The FHLBNY also believes the conditions of paragraph 69 (b) of FAS 133 are met if the fair value of the swap is zero on the date the FHLBNY commits itself to issue the consolidated obligation bond.

Cash Flow Hedges
There were no material amounts for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 that were reclassified into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges because it became probable that the original forecasted transactions would not occur by the end of the originally specified time period or within a two-month period thereafter. Over the next twelve months, it is expected that $2.0 million of net gains recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income at September 30, 2005 will be recognized in earnings.

Contributions to DB Plan charged to operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were $1.8 million, $5.9 million, $1.4 million, and $3.7 million, respectively. The DB Plan is a multi-employer plan and does not segregate its assets, liabilities, or costs by participating employer. As a result, disclosure of the accumulated benefit obligations, plan assets, and the components of annual pension expense attributable to the FHLBNY are not made.
The FHLBNY also participates in the Pentegra Defined Contribution Plan for Financial Institutions, a defined contribution plan. The Bank’s contributions are equal to a percentage of participants’ compensation and a matching contribution equal to a percentage of voluntary employee contributions, subject to certain limitations. The FHLBNY contributed $0.3 million, $0.8 million, $0.2 million, and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
In addition, the FHLBNY maintains a deferred compensation plan, available to eligible employees, which is, in substance, an unfunded supplemental retirement plan, referred to as the Benefits Equalization Plan. The plan’s liability consists of the accumulated compensation deferrals and accrued earnings on the deferrals.
Components of the net periodic pension cost for the FHLBNY’s supplemental retirement plan were as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands):

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies
The FHLBanks have joint and several liability for all the consolidated obligations issued on their behalf. Accordingly, should one or more of the FHLBanks be unable to repay their participation in the consolidated obligations, each of the other FHLBanks could be called upon to repay all or part of such obligations, as determined or approved by the Finance Board. Neither the FHLBNY nor any other FHLBank has had to assume or pay the consolidated obligation of another FHLBank. The FHLBNY does not believe that it will be called upon to pay the consolidated obligations of another FHLBank in the future. Under FASB interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”), FIN 45 would have required FHLBNY to recognize the fair value of the FHLBNY’s joint and several liability for all the consolidated obligations, as discussed above. However, the FHLBNY considers the joint and several liability as similar to a related party guarantee, which meets a scope exception in FIN 45. Accordingly, the FHLBNY has not recognized a liability for its joint and several obligations related to other FHLBanks’ consolidated obligations at September 30, 2005 or December 31, 2004.
The par amounts of FHLBank’s outstanding consolidated obligations, including consolidated obligations held by other FHLBanks, were approximately $920.2 billion and $869.2 billion as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Based on management’s review, the FHLBNY has no reason to record actual or contingent liabilities with respect to the occurrence of events or circumstances that would require the FHLBNY to assume such an obligation on behalf of other FHLBanks at September 30, 2005 or any periods reported.
Conditional commitments for additional advances totalled approximately $21.2 billion and $10.4 billion as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Commitments generally are for periods of up to twelve months. Extension of credit under these commitments is subject to certain collateral requirements and other financial criteria at the time the commitment is drawn upon.
Standby letters of credit are executed for members for a fee. A standby letter of credit is a financing arrangement between the FHLBNY and its member. If the FHLBNY is required to make payment for a beneficiary’s draw, these amounts are converted into collateralized advances to the member. Outstanding standby letters of credit were approximately $167.2 million and $119.5 million as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, and had original terms of up to fifteen years, with a final expiration in 2019. Unearned fees on standby letters of credit, recorded in other liabilities, were not significant as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. Unearned fees for transactions prior to 2003, as well as the value of the guarantees related to standby letters of credit entered into after 2002, are recorded in other liabilities. Based on management’s credit analyses and collateral requirements, the FHLBNY does not deem it necessary to have any provision for credit losses on these commitments and letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are fully collateralized at the time of issuance. The estimated fair value of letters of credit as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 approximated the carrying values.
Commitments which unconditionally obligate the FHLBNY to purchase mortgage loans under the Mortgage Partnership Finance Program (“MPF”) totalled $2.2 million and $10.3 million as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Commitments are generally for periods not to exceed 45 business days. In accordance with SFAS 149, such commitments entered into after September 30, 2003 were recorded as derivatives at their fair value. In addition, the FHLBNY had entered into conditional agreements under “Master Commitments” with its members in the MPF program to purchase in aggregate $475.9 million and $486.7 million as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

The FHLBNY generally executes derivatives with major banks and broker-dealers and usually enters into bilateral collateral agreements. As of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, interest-bearing deposits included $0.5 billion and $1.1 billion in cash pledged by the FHLBNY as collateral to mitigate derivative counterparties’ credit-risk exposure to the FHLBNY related to derivatives.
The FHLBNY charged to operating expenses net rental costs of approximately $0.7 million and $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and approximately $0.8 million and $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004. Lease agreements for FHLBNY premises generally provide for increases in the basic rentals resulting from increases in property taxes and maintenance expenses. Such increases are not expected to have a material effect on the FHLBNY.

The FHLBNY does not anticipate any credit losses from its off-balance sheet commitments and accordingly no provision for losses on such commitments is required.
The FHLBNY is subject to legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. After consultation with legal counsel, the FHLBNY does not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of these matters will have a material effect on the FHLBNY’s financial condition or results of operations.

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements contained in this report, including statements describing the objectives, projections, estimates, or predictions of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY” or “Bank”), may be “forward-looking statements.” All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could potentially be forward-looking statements. These statements may use forward-looking terminology, such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “may,” “should,” “will,” or other variations on these terms or their negatives. These statements may involve matters pertaining to, but not limited to, projections regarding revenue, income, earnings, capital expenditures, dividends, the capital structure and other financial items; statements of plans or objectives for future operations; expectations of future economic performance; and statements of assumptions underlying certain of the foregoing types of statements.
The Bank cautions that, by their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks or uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements or could affect the extent to which a particular objective, projection, estimate, or prediction is realized. As a result, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which are current only as of the date thereof. The Bank will not undertake to update any forward-looking statement herein or that may be made from time to time on behalf of the Bank.
These forward-looking statements may not be realized due to a variety of risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the following:
    Changes in demand for FHLBNY advances resulting from changes in FHLBNY members’ deposit flows and credit demands;
 
    Volatility of market prices, rates, and indices or other factors that could affect the value of investments or collateral held by the FHLBNY as security for the obligations of FHLBNY members and counterparties to derivatives and similar agreements, which could result from the effects of, and changes in, various monetary or fiscal policies and regulations, including those determined by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation;
 
    Political events, including legislative, regulatory, judicial, or other developments that affect the FHLBNY, its members, counterparties, and/or investors in the consolidated obligations of the FHLBanks, such as changes in the Federal Home Loan Bank Act or Finance Board regulations that affect FHLBNY’s operations and regulatory oversight;
 
    Competitive forces, including other sources of funding available to FHLBNY members without limitation, other entities borrowing funds in the capital markets, the ability to attract and retain skilled individuals; and general economic and market conditions.
 
    The pace of technological change and the ability to develop and support technology and information systems, including the Internet, sufficient to manage the risks of the FHLBNY’s business effectively;

Table of Contents

    Changes in investor demand for consolidated obligations and/or the terms of derivatives and similar agreements, including without limitation changes in the relative attractiveness of consolidated obligations as compared to other investment opportunities;
 
    Timing and volume of market activity;
 
    The ability to introduce new products and services and to successfully manage the risks associated with those products and services, including new types of collateral used to secure advances;
 
    Risk of loss arising from litigation filed against one or more of the FHLBanks; and
 
    Inflation/deflation.
Business Overview
Financial Performance. As a cooperative, the FHLBNY seeks to maintain a balance between its public policy mission and its ability to provide adequate returns on the capital supplied by its members. The FHLBNY achieves this balance by delivering low-cost financing to members to help them meet the credit needs of their communities and by paying a dividend. Reflecting the FHLBNY’s cooperative nature, the FHLBNY’s financial strategies are designed to enable the FHLBNY to expand and contract in response to member credit needs. The FHLBNY invests its capital in high quality, short- and intermediate-term financial instruments. This strategy allows the FHLBNY to maintain liquidity to satisfy member demand for short- and long-term funds, repay maturing consolidated obligations, and meet other obligations. The dividends paid by FHLBNY are largely the result of the FHLBNY’s earnings on invested member capital, net earnings on member credit, mortgage loans and investments, offset in part by the FHLBNY’s operating expenses and assessments. FHLBNY’s board of directors and management determine the pricing of member credit and dividend policies based on the needs of its members.
Historical Perspective. The fundamental business of the FHLBNY is to provide member institutions and housing associates with advances and other credit products in a wide range of maturities to meet their needs. Congress created the FHLBanks in 1932 to improve the availability of funds to support home ownership. Although the FHLBanks were initially capitalized with government funds, members have provided all of the FHLBanks’ capital for over 50 years.
Financial Highlights
The FHLBNY reported 2005 third-quarter net income of $61.1 million, or $1.70 per share of capital stock, compared with net income of $41.2 million, or $1.15 per share of capital, for the third quarter of 2004. Net income for the first nine months of 2005 was $173.9 million, or $4.81 per share, compared with $117.1 million, or $3.30 per share of capital, in the comparable period last year.
Reported amount of advances outstanding at September 30, 2005 was $61.8 billion, compared to $68.5 billion at December 31, 2004. These balances include the basis adjustment associated with the fair value of hedged advances. Par amount of advances outstanding, without the impact of the fair value basis adjustment, at September 30, 2005 was $61.4 billion, compared to $67.3 billion at December 31, 2004. Members’ demand for advances has been weak; there is a trend among members towards shrinking their balance sheets.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The FHLBNY has identified certain accounting policies that it believes are critical because they require management to make subjective judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These policies include estimating the allowance for credit losses on the advance and mortgage loan portfolios; estimating the liabilities for unfunded pension liabilities; estimating fair values on certain assets and liabilities, including investments classified as available -for-sale; all derivatives and associated hedged items accounted for in accordance with SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities; and estimating the fair value of the collateral that members pledge for advance borrowings.
For additional information, refer to the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of Form 10 that describes the critical accounting policies. Also, see Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements in the FHLBNY’s Form 10 filed on August 29, 2005.

Results of Operations
Net Income
The FHLBNY manages its operations as a single business segment. Advances to members are the primary focus of the FHLBNY’s operations, and is the principal factor that impacts its operating results. The FHLBNY is exempt from ordinary federal, state, and local taxation except for local real estate tax. It is required to make payments to REFCORP, and set aside funds from its income, towards an Affordable Housing Program (“AHP”), together referred to as assessments.
Net income for the 2005 third-quarter was $61.1 million, compared to $41.2 million for the comparable quarter in 2004. Net income for the first nine months in 2005 was $173.9 million, compared to $117.1 million for the same period last year. Net income is after AHP and REFCORP assessments, which are a fixed percentage of the FHLBNY’s income.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is a key metric for the FHLBNY. It was $99.8 million for the 2005 third-quarter, compared to $70.0 million for the comparable quarter in 2004. Net interest income for the first nine months in 2005 was $291.6 million compared to $191.0 million for the same period in 2004.

The increase in the 2005 third-quarter and year-to-date results compared to the same periods in 2004 is attributable to three principal factors. First, the benefits from selective pricing increases on advances instituted throughout 2004 are being realized in 2005. Second, during the early quarters in 2004, spreads were also depressed as a result of high-coupon debt that remained after the high-yielding mortgage-backed securities had been sold in the third quarter of 2003. That negative condition was largely eliminated in 2005. Third, the FHLBNY earns significant income from earning on assets funded by non-interest bearing capital and other funds. In the steadily rising interest rate environment in 2005, earnings from the deployment of capital have made a stronger contribution to net interest income compared to the same periods in 2004.

Net interest income has also improved as a result of higher yields from investments as a result of the general increase in the interest rate environment. Interest income from investments in fixed-rate, held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities have also improved as result of two factors. Prepayment speeds have slowed dramatically in the current interest rate environment, resulting in a relative decline in amortization expense. In addition, the FHLBNY’s change in the manner of estimating the level yield amortization retrospectively on mortgage-backed securities resulted in a change that increased net interest income by $7.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. New acquisitions to replace paydowns of MBS have been at higher coupons in a rising interest rate environment. These factors together explain the increase in interest income from investments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same periods in 2004. Investment volume, however, has declined, and this has offset much of the increase from the contribution from higher coupons.
Increase in investor demand for FHLBank debt has had a positive effect of restraining the increase in the cost of debt issued during most of the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Increases in coupons for longer-term debt issuances have been restrained despite the general increase in the interest rate environment. The cost of debt (FHLBNY’s consolidated bonds and discount notes) has improved during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, in relative terms given the general trend in a steadily rising rate environment, compared to the same periods in 2004. The increased use of step-up bonds, at advantageous executions over equivalent tenor consolidated bonds, has also yielded positive results. While consolidated bond executions have been at favorable spreads in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, consolidated obligation discount note executions have been at even more favorable spreads, and the FHLBNY has increased its use of discount notes as a funding mechanism.

Analysis of Interest Spreads
Interest spreads measure the basic earning power of the FHLBNY, and this measure is presented in the analysis that follows on the economics of the Bank’s interest earning assets and interest costing liabilities.
On a GAAP basis, the net interest spread for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was 26.1 basis points, up from 18.8 basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Net interest spread earned over the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was 26.5 basis points versus 16.7 basis points earned in the comparable nine months in 2004. The FHLBNY had selectively increased pricing on certain advances throughout 2004, and the significant improvements for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 and nine months ended 2005 are indicative of the cumulative results of the pricing strategy. Yields from advances increased by 144 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 165 basis points in the three months ended September 30, 2005 over the comparable period in 2004. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, the FHLBNY has held its pricing at the same levels established in 2004, and no material changes in pricing strategy has been implemented in 2005.
Yields from investments grew by only 60 basis points during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 from the comparable period in 2004. Investment yields have not kept pace with the general increase in cost of funds and the FHLBNY has taken the view that the current pricing and coupons do not justify additional acquisition. Investment volume, as a result has been negative compared to comparable periods in 2004, and reflects the FHLBNY’s policy of reducing its held-to-maturity securities portfolio, and also to sacrifice advance volume for higher yields.
Volume declines in advances and investments were partly offset by the FHLBNY’s decision to increase investment in short-term federal funds sold and increase short-term liquidity.
Reported yields with respect to advances and debt do not necessarily equal the coupons on the instruments. The FHLBNY uses derivatives extensively to change the yield and optionality characteristics of the underlying hedged items. When fixed-rate debt is issued by the FHLBNY and hedged with an interest rate swap, it effectively converts the debt into a simple floating-rate bond, typically resulting in funding at an advantageous price. Similarly, the FHLBNY makes fixed-rate

advances to members and may hedge the advance with a pay-fixed, receive variable interest rate swap that effectively converts the fixed-rate asset to one that floats with prevailing LIBOR rates. The following table summarizes the impact of interest rate swaps on gross interest income and interest expense for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands):

Other income consists of service fees from various correspondent services provided to members, fees earned on standby letters of credit, Net realized and unrealized gains and losses from derivatives and hedging activities, and Other, net, which is composed almost entirely of the cost of retiring debt.
Service fees from providing certain correspondence banking services is not a large factor in determining the financial results of the FHLBNY and such services are provided to assist our smaller members.
Net realized and unrealized gains and losses from hedging activities are typically determined by changes in the interest rate environment and the degree of ineffectiveness of hedging relationships between the change in the fair value of derivatives and change in the fair value of the hedged assets and liabilities attributable to changes in interest rates. In aggregate, the FHLBNY recorded a net realized and unrealized loss of $0.7 million and $5.1 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005,

41


Table of Contents

compared to a loss of $1.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2004 and a gain of $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. In June 2004, the FHLBNY changed the manner in which it assessed effectiveness for certain debt hedging relationships. Under the prior approach, the FHLBNY inappropriately assumed no ineffectiveness for certain hedges of debt. Under the new method, the FHLBNY began measuring effectiveness, and the cumulative impact of $9.3 million was recorded during the second quarter 2004. In the second quarter of 2005, the FHLBNY refined its methodology for computing the fair value basis adjustments for certain hedged advances, resulting in $3.5 million charge to net realized and unrealized gains and losses from hedging activities.
Realized gains from sale of available -for-sale securities were $1.5 million, and these were mostly realized in the three months ended September 30, 2005. Realized gain from an in-substance maturity of a single held-to-maturity security in the same period was a de minimis gain of $35 thousand. The sale was to “clean up” the residual amount of the security and streamline operational issues.
Other, net, consists principally of the recorded loss from early retirement of consolidated obligation debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the FHLBNY retired $189.5 million of consolidated obligation debt, of which $75.0 million was retired during the three months ended September 30, 2005. Debt retired was at a cost that exceeded book value by about $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, of which $2.0 million was realized during the three months ended September 30, 2005. The comparable amount of debt retired during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $88.6 million, at a cost that exceeded book value by $2.7 million. The bonds retired were associated principally with assets that had been prepaid.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense consists of operating expenses and costs allocated to the FHLBNY by the Office of Finance and the Finance Board to cover their operating expenses. Operating expenses include the administrative and operating costs of providing advances to members, managing the investment portfolios and mortgage programs, and providing correspondent services to members.

Operating expenses have increased substantially in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 over the comparable period in 2004. The increases were primarily attributable to significant increases in pension and supplemental retirement plans, medical insurance costs, consulting fees related to the implementation of Section 404 reporting and other control requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the legal and accounting costs associated with the FHLBNY’s registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the costs associated with a long-range review of the FHLBNY’s information technology systems.
Expenses allocated by the Office of Finance and the Finance Board to the FHLBNY totalled $4.2 million and $1.3 million for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2005, and are comparable to expenses incurred in 2004 for the same periods. The Finance Board is the safety and soundness regulator of the FHLBanks, including the FHLBNY. The Office of Finance is a joint office of the 12 FHLBanks that facilitates the issuance and servicing of consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes on behalf of the 12 FHLBanks.
Assessments
Each FHLBank is required to set aside a proportion of earnings to fund its Affordable Housing Program and to satisfy its Resolution Funding Corporation assessment. These are more fully described under the section “Tax Status” in Notes to Financial Statements — unaudited.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, the FHLBNY accrued $15.3 million and $43.5 million towards its obligations to the Resolution Trust Corporation, and accrued $10.3 million and $29.3 million in the comparable periods in 2004. The Affordable Housing Program accrual was $6.9 million and $19.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to $4.7 million and $13.6 million for the comparable periods in 2004. Assessments are analogous to a tax on income and the increase reflects the increase in pre-assessment income for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same periods in 2004.

Financial Position — Assets, Liabilities and shareholders capital
Total balance sheet assets at September 30, 2005 stood at $85.5 billion, down from $88.4 billion at December 31, 2004. The decrease was primarily due to a $6.7 billion decline in the reported amount of outstanding advances and a $1.8 billion decline in the held-to-maturity securities. The declines were partially offset by the increase in short-term investments in certificates of deposits and Federal funds sold.
Liabilities were down by approximately $2.9 billion from $84.6 billion at December 31, 2004 to $81.7 billion at September 30, 2005, due primarily to the decrease in the outstanding balance of consolidated obligations in line with the decrease in funding requirements at September 30, 2005.
Total capital at September 30, 2005 stood at $3.9 billion, almost unchanged from December 31, 2004. There was no excess stock at September 30, 2005 or at December 31, 2004. For more information with respect to excess stock or rights of stockholders, refer to Note 7, in Notes to Financial Statements — unaudited. Unrestricted retained earnings grew to $277.6 million at September 30, 2005, up from $223.4 million at December 31, 2004.
Advances
The FHLBNY’s primary business is making collaterized loans, known as “advances” to members.

The reported amount of advances of $61.8 billion at September 30, 2005 and $68.5 billion at December 31, 2004, includes fair value basis adjustments of $394.5 million and $1.24 billion, which principally represent the effects of changes in interest rates. Par amount of advances outstanding, a measure of economic activity, is a more meaningful metric for an analysis of demand for advances by members.
Par amount of advances stood at $61.4 billion, a decline of $5.9 billion from $67.3 billion at December 31, 2004. In an environment of a relatively flat yield curve, member appetite for acquiring assets has not been strong. Consequently, member demand for advances was also not strong.
Repo Advances declined by $2.6 billion to $16.9 billion at September 30, 2005 compared to December 31, 2004. Repo advances are secured by eligible securities, which are typically U.S. Treasuries, Agency-issued debentures and mortgage-backed securities. Repo advances may be structured as “bullets” or with a put option by which the FHLBNY may put the advance after a predetermined lockout period.

Table of Contents

The largest component of the decline in the Repo advance category was Repo convertible with the put feature, as members chose not to replace advances that were put or matured.
Demand for Repo advances has declined over the last two years and the product type has been under intense competitive pressure. In an extremely competitive pricing environment, FHLBNY has decided to maintain pricing discipline and sacrifice volume to maintain margins. Competition in the securities repurchase market varies widely, depending on participants’ preference in acquiring specific securities. Another factor is members’ preferences for their balance sheet mix and the securities they have available to pledge as collateral to secure Repo advances. As members liquidate their securities or allow securities to run off their books at maturity, they have fewer securities to pledge as collateral for Repo borrowings. Conversely, as members increase their securities holdings, demand for Repo advance borrowings increases.
Member appetite for short-term, fixed-rate advances was soft, and the amount outstanding declined by $4.3 billion at September 30, 2005. Increase in short-term rates and “tight” pricing has restrained member borrowings. These advances have maturities ranging from overnight to less than a year, and the product is subject to variability in demand as it tends to reflect shorter-term liquidity needs of members.
Adjustable-rate Credit Advances (“ARC Advances”) decreased by $0.6 billion to $13.3 billion at September 30, 2005 compared to December 31, 2004. ARC advances are medium-and long-term lending and are typically indexed to LIBOR or Federal funds rate.
Fixed Rate advances increased by $1.4 billion to $25.5 billion at September 30, 2005 compared to December 31, 2004. Within this category, the largest increase was in member demand for fixed-rate putable advance. Fixed rate putable advances are competitively priced where the FHLBNY has purchased the option from the member to put the advance at predetermined exercise dates. This feature lowers the members’ cost of the advance.

Investment
Total FHLBNY investments consisted of investment securities classified as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale securities, interest-bearing deposits, certificates of deposits, and Federal funds sold. Finance Board regulations prohibit the FHLBNY from trading in investment securities, and the FHLBNY does not operate trading accounts.

The FHLBNY invests in securities authorized by Finance Board policies and regulations. The Bank also maintains substantial investments in high-quality short- and intermediate-term financial instruments.
Held-to-maturity Securities
Mortgage- and asset-backed securities (“MBS”) constituted the predominant component of the held-to-maturity securities. All MBS securities were rated triple -A by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”). The FHLBNY’s remaining held-to-maturity investments at September 30, 2005 consisted of $1.0 billion in housing-related obligations of state and local governments and their housing agencies (“HFA”), almost unchanged from December 31, 2004. These obligations carried a rating of double-A or higher. Estimated fair values of held-to-maturity securities were in excess of book values.
The FHLBNY has been selective in replacing MBS pay-downs, electing instead to allow its portfolio to decline. While the Finance Board regulations allow the FHLBNY to purchase MBS up to 300% of capital, the FHLBNY has decided at this time to sacrifice the relatively higher income stream from MBS and opted instead to take a conservative posture with respect to acquisition of mortgage- and asset- backed securities. The FHLBNY believes that market pricing is unattractive from an interest rate risk and reward perspective. MBS as a percentage of capital stood at 235% at September 30, 2005 compared to 287% at December 31, 2004. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, the FHLBNY sold about $9.0 million of held-to-maturity MBS to “clean-up” the residual balance of a security. The FHLBNY considers this to be an in-substance maturity. Sale proceeds exceeded book value by a de minimis amount. The FHLBNY closely monitors all its investments, and particularly its investments in mortgage- and asset- backed securities.
Amortized cost basis of held-to-maturity MBS at September 30, 2005 was $9.02 billion, compared to its fair value of $9.01 billion. The fair value of state or local housing agency bonds was $1.0 billion slightly higher than its reported book value. The fair value of held-to-maturity securities, which are primarily fixed rate securities at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, are based on securities dealers’ market

values or derived from quoted market prices of similar mortgage loans. Fair values of fixed-rate securities are affected by changes in market interest rates. The FHLBNY conducted a review and evaluation of the securities portfolio to determine if the decline, if any, in the fair value of any security below its carrying value is other than temporary. The FHLBNY generally views changes in fair value caused by changes in interest rates as temporary, which is consistent with the FHLBNY’s experience. The FHLBNY has both the intent and financial ability to hold the temporarily impaired securities until recovery of their value.
Available-for-sale securities
The available -for-sale investment portfolio consists of variable -rate mortgage-backed securities issued mainly by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) at September 30. 2005. The outstanding amount at December 31, 2004 also included securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. (“Freddie Mac”). Neither Fannie Mae nor Freddie Mac are agencies of the U.S. Government nor are their securities guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
The FHLBNY has also opted to reduce its holdings of available -for-sale portfolio, consistent with its overall objective at this time to take a cautious approach to investing in MBS. Par amount of $1.4 billion was sold, mostly during the three months ended September 30, 2005, at a realized gain of $1.5 million. The fair value of available -for-sale securities exceeded reported book values at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. All securities were rated triple -A by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
Short-term and overnight assets
At September 30, 2005, interest-bearing deposits included investments in certificates of deposits totalling $5.8 billion up from $1.7 billion at December 31, 2004. Federal funds sold at September 30, 2005 stood at $5.5 billion, up from $3.0 billion at December 31, 2004. The FHLBNY maintains a significant portfolio of highly liquid Federal funds as a means to ensure liquidity for its members borrowing needs. Historically, the FHLBNY has been a major provider of Federal funds, allowing the FHLBNY to warehouse and provide balance sheet liquidity to meet unexpected member borrowing demands.
Cash deposits pledged with derivative counterparties declined in parallel with the decline in the fair value exposure of FHLBNY’s derivatives trades at September 30, 2005. The pledged balances, all interest-earning cash deposits, were $0.5 billion at September 30, 2005 compared to $1.1 billion at December 31, 2004.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the FHLBNY added $362.2 million in new loans; run-offs totalled $117.4 million in the period. The total portfolio of mortgage-loans comprised principally of investments in Mortgage Partnership Finance loans, and Community Mortgage Asset loans, which has not been active since 2001, and has declined steadily over time; loan balances in Community Mortgage Asset loans aggregated $9.8 million and $12.4 million at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.
Deposit Liabilities
At September 30, 2005, the FHLBNY’s deposit liabilities were comprised of demand and other term deposits predominantly from members and some from eligible entities. Deposits from members and eligible entities at September 30, 2005 aggregated $2.9 billion, compared to $2.3 billion at December 31, 2004. Depositor demand primarily driven by members’ liquidity preferences is the principal determinant of the level of deposits. The deposit balances are typically higher at quarter-end dates. The average demand deposit balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $2.1 billion.
Cash collateral pledged by derivatives counterparties to the FHLBNY at September 30, 2005 was $1.0 million compared to $0.6 million at December 31, 2004, and the increase reflects the change in the net unrealized gain position of certain derivative contracts with counterparties.

Consolidated Obligation Liabilities
The FHLBNY continued to fund its assets through the use of consolidated obligation bonds and to a lesser extent by consolidated obligation discount notes. Par amounts of consolidated obligation bonds, unadjusted for changes in fair values, aggregated $54.8 billion at September 30, 2005, compared with $60.6 billion at December 31, 2004. Principal amount of discount notes outstanding aggregated $23.0 billion at September 30, 2005 compared to $19.6 billion at December 31, 2004. Together, they financed 91.0% of the $85.5 billion in total assets at September 30, 2005, almost unchanged from the comparable financing ratios at December 31, 2004, an indication of the continued reliance on consolidated obligations for the FHLBNY’s funding requirements.
Consolidated obligation bonds – By types
The following summarizes types of bonds issued and outstanding (in thousands):
                 
    September 30, 2005     December 31, 2004  
Fixed-rate, non-callable

Total par value

The FHLBNY continues the extensive use of callable debt with associated interest rate swaps to provide funding for short-term assets, and to provide an offset to prepayment options in its held-to-maturity portfolio of mortgage-backed securities. Call options on swapped bonds are typically exercised when the swap counterparty exercises its call option on the swap. Call options on unswapped bonds are generally exercised when the bond can be replaced at a lower economic cost. Thus, the issuance of a callable swap significantly alters the contractual maturity characteristics of the original bond, and introduces the possibility of an exercise call date that will be significantly shorter than the contractual maturity.
Maturing floating-rate consolidated obligation debt have not been replaced principally because of relatively unfavorable pricing of floating rate bonds compared to the pricing of discount notes and callable, fixed-rate bonds. As a result, outstanding balance of floating rate bonds has declined to $0.5 billion at September 30, 2005 from $5.7 billion at December 31, 2004.
The FHLBNY makes extensive use of derivatives to restructure interest rates on consolidated obligation bonds, both callable and non-callable, to better match its funding needs, and also reduce funding costs. The FHLBNY also uses derivatives to manage the risk arising from changing market prices and volatility of a fixed coupon bond by matching the cash flows of the bond to the cash flows of the derivative, and making the FHLBNY indifferent to changes in market conditions. Of the par amount of $54.8 billion of all bonds outstanding at September 30, 2005, the aggregate notional amount of swapped out debt stood at $34.7 billion, an increase from $33.6 billion at December 31, 2004.
The continued attractiveness of the issuance of callable bonds and the simultaneous swapping with a derivative instrument depends on price relationships in both the bond and the derivatives markets. The FHLBNY also converts at the time of issuance, certain simple fixed-rate bonds into a floating-rate bond with the simultaneous execution of interest rate swaps that will convert the cash flows of the fixed-rate bond to conventional adjustable rate instruments tied to an index, typically LIBOR. The change reflects a relative increase in swapped callable bonds, and an indication of more attractive executions for such instruments during the period ended September 30, 2005.

Table of Contents

The FHLBNY has increased the use of step-up, callable bonds to take advantage of relatively better pricing.
The funding mix between the use of non-callable and callable has changed somewhat. At September 30, 2005, callable, fixed-rate bonds constituted 26.3% of par value of bonds, compared to 31.4% at December 31, 2004.
Reported carrying values of consolidated obligation bonds at September 30, 2005 included net unrealized fair value basis adjustment gains of $355.3 million compared to $161.4 million at December 31, 2004. These unrealized gains are almost entirely offset by unrealized losses on the associated derivatives that hedge the consolidated obligation bonds at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. Changes in basis adjustments are impacted principally by forecasted interest rates and the volume of hedged debt.

Discounts notes, which have maturities of one year or less, were mostly utilized in funding short-term advances, some long-term advances and investments with short-term repricing intervals, and money market investments.
The relative use of the short-term, discount notes as a funding vehicle has increased over the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Par amount of discount notes financed 26.9% of assets at September 30, 2005, compared to 22.2% at December 31, 2004. The increase in usage reflects improved pricing of discount notes relative to alternative short-term funding sources, such as the issuance of callable debt with an associated interest rate derivative with matching terms. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the FHLBNY issued $524.9 billion in discount notes, a metric indicative of the importance of discount notes issuances in the FHLBNY’s day-to-day funding operations.
Mandatorily Redeemable Stock
The FHLBNY adopted SFAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity,” (“FAS 150”) as of January 1, 2004. Shares of capital stock covered by FAS 150 were reclassified to liabilities at fair value. Unpaid dividends related to capital stock classified as liability were accrued at the expected dividend rate and reported as interest expense.
The FHLBNY’s capital stock generally is redeemable at the option of both the member and the FHLBNY with certain conditions. Under the existing capital structure the FHLBNY considers stock as mandatorily redeemable once a member attains non-member status through merger into or acquisition by a non-member, or involuntary termination from membership. Based on the fact that a member notification of withdrawal from membership or redemption request to redeem excess stock can be withdrawn by the member without penalty, the FHLBNY considers the member’s intent regarding such redemption requests to be non-substantive in nature and therefore no reclassification to liability is made at the time such requests are made.
At September 30, 2005, the amount was $20.5 million and consisted of stock held by banks that had attained non-member status by virtue of being acquired by non-members. At December 31, 2004, the outstanding amount stood at $126.6 million. During the first three months of 2005, a significant portion of advances to one non-member matured. In accordance with Finance Board regulations non-members cannot renew their advance borrowings at maturity. Since advances are typically associated with the holding of FHLBNY stock, the decline in advances resulted in a proportionate decline in stock that was considered a liability under FAS 150. In the three months ended September 30, 2005, one member relocated its headquarters and became a member of another FHLBank. Its stock became mandatorily redeemable during the third quarter 2005, and the FHLBNY redeemed that stock during the same quarter. The FHLBNY expects $0.5 million of mandatorily redeemable stock to be redeemed in the next twelve months, and virtually all stock within the next five years based on the expected maturity of advances borrowed by non-members.

Capital Stock
Each member is currently required to purchase FHLBNY stock based upon the amount of the member’s residential mortgage loans, its total assets or its outstanding advances borrowed from the FHLBNY. Under current regulations, borrowing members must hold capital stock equal to the greater of 1 percent of their mortgage assets or 5 percent of their advances outstanding or $500. Total capital stock was $3.6 billion at September 30, 2005, down from the $3.7 billion level at December 31, 2004. Since June 2005, the FHLBNY has implemented a process of redeeming excess capital on a daily basis. As a result, changes in the level of capital stock are generally in line with changes in the borrowing patterns of members. As all excess stock is redeemed, the outstanding balances of capital stock are closely correlated to the outstanding advances at September 30, 2005.

In accordance with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (“GLB Act”), the Finance Board issued regulations outlining a new capital structure for the FHLBanks that established risk-based and leverage capital requirements for the FHLBanks; addressed the different classes of stock that the FHLBanks may issue; and described the rights and preferences that may be associated with each class of stock. Each FHLBank, including the FHLBNY, was required to submit its own capital plan to the Finance Board for review by October 29, 2001, and the FHLBNY met this requirement. The Finance Board approved the new capital plan of the FHLBNY on June 8, 2005.
The GLB Act allows for a FHLBank to have two classes of stock, and each class may have sub-classes. Class A stock (which will not be issued by the FHLBNY) is conditionally redeemable on six months written notice from the member, and Class B stock is conditionally redeemable on five years written notice from the member. Under the GLB Act, membership is voluntary for all members. Members that withdraw from a FHLBank may not reapply for membership of any FHLBank for five years from the date of withdrawal. Membership without interruption between two FHLBanks is not considered to be a termination of membership for this purpose.
Capital Plan Exchange
The implementation of the Bank’s new Capital Plan is scheduled to occur on December 1, 2005. Under the new Capital Plan, the FHLBNY’s capital stock will consist of all Class B stock, with two subclasses: membership stock and activity-based stock. Prior to the opening of business on the effective date of the Capital Plan, the outstanding shares of existing capital stock shall automatically be exchanged for an equal number of new shares of capital stock — except for, in certain circumstances, the shares of members that have opted out of the exchange process and the shares owned by former members or their successors.

Retained Earnings and Dividends Paid
Unrestricted retained earnings stood at $277.6 million at September 30, 2005, up from $223.4 million at December 31, 2004.
The FHLBNY reclassified $5.2 million to restricted retained earnings during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, and it represents the unpaid principal balance of certain acquired mortgage loans with credit ratings below an established minimum. The amount of Restricted retained earnings will decline as the balance on those mortgage loans decline or until the FHLBNY converts to its new capital plan in the fourth quarter of 2005, when risk based rules are adopted. The restrictions on the FHLBNY’s retained earnings had no impact on results of operations.
Dividend payouts are guided by the FHLBNY’s Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy (“Policy”), which establishes: (1) a process to assess the adequacy of retained earnings in view of the Bank’s assessment of the financial, economic and business risks inherent in its operations; (2) the priority of contributions to retained earnings relative to other distributions of income; (3) a target level of retained earnings and a timeline to achieve the target; and (4) a process to ensure maintenance of appropriate levels of retained earnings. The objective of the Policy is to preserve the value of the members’ investment in the Bank.
The FHLBNY may pay dividends from retained earnings and current income. The FHLBNY’s Board of Directors may declare and pay dividends in either cash or capital stock. Dividends and the retained earnings policy of the FHLBNY are subject to Finance Board regulations and policies.
To preserve the value of the member’s investments, the level of retained earnings should be sufficient to: (1) protect the members’ paid in capital from losses related to market, credit, operational, and other risks (including legal and accounting) within a defined confidence level under normal operating conditions; and (2) provide members with a predictable dividend stream. The FHLBNY’s level of retained earnings should provide management with a high degree of confidence that reasonably foreseeable losses will not impair paid in capital thereby preserving the par value of the stock, and to supplement dividends when current earnings are low or losses occur.
The Policy establishes dividend payout after determining a retained earnings target amount, based on an assessment methodology approved by the Board of Directors, that reasonably identifies and quantifies all material risks faced by the FHLBNY. The final dividend payout is subject to Board approval and the applicable Finance Board regulations. Management expects future dividend payout ratios to range from 80% to 100% of net income.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, three dividends were paid: A dividend of 3.05% (annualized) was paid on January 31, 2005, another was paid on April 29, 2005 that amounted to 4.70% (annualized) , and a third dividend of 5.0% (annualized) was paid on July 29, 2005. Dividends are computed based on the weighted average stock outstanding during the previous quarter, and are declared and paid in arrears in the month following the end of the quarter.

Derivative Instruments
Derivative instruments are important tools that we use to manage interest rate risk and restructure interest rates on both the debt (consolidated obligations bonds and discount notes) and advances. The FHLBNY, to a limited amount, also uses interest rate swaps to hedge changes in interest rates prior to debt issuance, and essentially lock in the FHLBNY’s funding cost. The FHLBNY does not take speculative positions with derivatives or any other financial instruments, or trade derivatives for short-term profits. The FHLBNY does not have any special purpose entities or any other types of off-balance sheet conduits. Interest income and interest expense from interest rate swaps used for hedging are recorded with interest on the instrument being hedged. The notional amounts of derivatives are not recorded as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet; rather, the fair value of all derivatives is recorded as either derivative asset or derivative liability on the balance sheet. Although notional principal is a commonly used measure of volume in the derivatives market, it is not a meaningful measure of market or credit risk since the notional amount does not change hands (other than in the case of currency swaps, which the FHLBNY does not do). FHLBNY and derivatives counterparties use notional amounts to calculate cash flows to be exchanged, and the notional amounts are significantly greater than the potential market or credit loss that could result from such transactions. The fair value of derivatives in a gain position is a more meaningful measure of the FHLBNY’s current market exposure on derivatives.
At September 30, 2005, the notional amount of derivatives outstanding was $69.6 billion, up from $66.1 billion at December 31, 2004.
Derivative contracts in a gain position, which represented the FHLBNY’s exposure at September 30, 2005, totaled $12.2 million, compared to $11.0 million at December 31, 2004. The FHLBNY mitigates its exposure by requiring derivatives counterparties to pledge cash collateral, if the amount of exposure is above the collateral threshold agreements. Derivatives counterparties had pledged cash to the FHLBNY of $1.0 million and $0.6 million at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. Derivative liabilities, representing unrealized derivatives loss positions, is a net exposure of the FHLBNY to swap counterparty and aggregated $686.9 million and $1.4 billion at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. In accordance with collateral agreements with swap counterparties, the FHLBNY had pledged cash collateral of $0.5 billion and $1.1 billion at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 to mitigate derivative counterparties exposures to the FHLBNY.
Affordable Housing Program Assessments
Assessments are a fixed percentage of net income after the required payment to REFCORP and before adjustment for dividends associated with mandatorily redeemable capital stock reported as an expense under SFAS 150, which was adopted on January 1, 2004. If the FHLBNY incurs a loss for the year, no assessment or assessment credit is due or accrued.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, Affordable Housing Program assessments totaled $6.9 million and $19.6 million, compared to $4.7 million and $13.6 million for the comparable periods in 2004. Because the Affordable Housing Program contribution is calculated as a percentage of net income, the changes in Affordable Housing Program expense reflect changes in FHLBNY net income.

Asset Quality
The FHLBNY’s credit risk from advances at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 were concentrated in commercial banks and savings institutions. All advances were fully collateralized during their entire term. In addition, borrowing members had pledged their stock of the FHLBNY as additional collateral for advances. The FHLBNY has not experienced any losses on credit extended to any member since its inception. Based on the collateral held as security and prior repayment history, no allowance for losses is currently deemed necessary.

Mortgage loans held for investment
Collectibility of mortgage loans is first supported by liens on real estate securing the loan. For conventional loans, additional loss protection is provided by private mortgage insurance (“PMI”) required for MPF loans with a loan-to-value ratio of more than 80% at origination, which is paid for by the borrower. The First Loss Account (“FLA”) memorializes the first tier of credit exposure that the FHLBNY is responsible for. The amount of the FLA is not an indication of inherent losses in the loan portfolio, and is not a loan loss reserve. The FHLBNY is responsible for losses up to this “first loss level”. Losses beyond this layer are absorbed through credit enhancement provided by the member participating in the Mortgage Partnership Program. All residual credit exposure is FHLBNY’s responsibility. The amount of credit enhancement is computed with the use of a Standard & Poor’s model to determine the amount of credit enhancement necessary to bring a pool of uninsured loans to “AA” credit risk. The credit enhancement is an obligation of the member.

Securities Impairment
Temporary impairment. The following table summarizes held-to-maturity securities with fair values below their amortized cost, i.e., in an unrealized loss position, as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. The fair values and unrealized losses are aggregated by major security type and rating, and by the length of time individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position.
The FHLBNY has both the intent and financial ability to hold the temporarily impaired securities to recovery of their value. In addition, the FHLBNY has reviewed the investment security holdings and determined, based on creditworthiness of the securities and including any underlying collateral and/or insurance provisions of the security, that unrealized losses in the analysis below represent temporary impairment at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

The FHLBNY’s available-for-sale securities are carried at estimated fair value, with any unrealized gains and losses reported in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss)/gain in total capital. The fair values of the FHLBNY’s securities, all of which are primarily floating rate, mortgage-backed securities at September 30, 2005, are based on third party vendor sourced market values. The FHLBNY’s held-to-maturity securities, which are primarily fixed rate, mortgage-backed securities at September 30, 2005, are based on published or model derived fair values, or securities dealers’ market values.
The FHLBNY conducts a periodic evaluation of the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities to determine if the decline in the fair value of any security below its carrying value is other than temporary. If there is other-than temporary impairment in value of an investment, the decline is recognized as a loss and presented in the Statement of Income as a loss on securities. The FHLBNY has not experienced any other-than-temporary impairment in value of investments during any periods reported.
Liquidity
The FHLBNY’s primary source of liquidity is the issuance of consolidated obligations. To refinance maturing consolidated obligations, the FHLBNY relies on the willingness of the investors to purchase new issuance. Member deposits and capital stock purchased by members are another source of funds. Short-term unsecured borrowings from other FHLBanks and in the Federal funds market provide additional sources of liquidity. In addition, the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to purchase up to $4.0 billion of consolidated obligations. The FHLBNY’s liquidity position remains in compliance with all regulatory requirements and it does not foresee any changes to that position.
Violations would invoke non-compliance penalties under discretionary powers given to the Finance Board under applicable regulations, which would include corrective actions.

Liquidity Management
The FHLBNY actively manages its liquidity position to maintain stable, reliable, and cost-effective sources of funds, while taking into account market conditions, member demand, and the maturity profile of the FHLBNY’s assets and liabilities. The FHLBNY recognizes that managing liquidity is critical to achieving its statutory mission of providing low-cost funding to its members. In managing liquidity risk, the Bank is required to maintain certain liquidity measures in accordance with the FHLBank Act, Finance Board regulations and Finance Board’s Financial Management Policy, and policies developed by the FHLBNY management and approved by the FHLBNY’s Board of Directors. These requirements are outlined below.
The specific liquidity requirements applicable to the FHLBNY are described in the next four sections:
Deposit Liquidity. The FHLBNY is required to invest an aggregate amount at least equal to the amount of current deposits received from the FHLBNY’s members in (1) obligations of the U.S. government; (2) deposits in banks or trust companies; or (3) advances to members with maturities not exceeding five years. In addition to accepting deposits from its members, the FHLBNY may accept deposits from any other FHLBanks, or from any other governmental instrumentality.
Deposit liquidity is calculated daily. Quarterly average reserve requirements and actual reserves are summarized below (in millions): The FHLBNY met its requirements at all times.

Operational Liquidity. The FHLBNY must be able to fund its activities as its balance sheet changes from day-to-day. The FHLBNY maintains the capacity to fund balance sheet growth through its regular money market and capital market funding activities. Management monitors the Bank’s operational liquidity needs by regularly comparing the Bank’s demonstrated funding capacity with its potential balance sheet growth. Management then takes such actions as may be necessary to maintain adequate sources of funding for such growth.
Operational liquidity is measured daily. The FHLBNY met its requirements at all times. The following table summarizes excess operational liquidity (in millions):

September 30, 2005
    5,488       16,942       11,454  
Contingent Liquidity. The FHLBNY is required by Finance Board regulations to hold “contingency liquidity” in an amount sufficient to meet its liquidity needs if it is unable, by virtue of a disaster, to access the consolidated obligation debt markets for at least five business days. Contingency liquidity includes (1) marketable assets with a maturity of one year or less; (2) self-liquidating assets with a maturity of one year or less; (3) assets that are generally acceptable as collateral in the repurchase market; and (4) irrevocable lines of credit from financial institutions receiving not less than the second-highest credit rating from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The FHLBNY consistently exceeds the regulatory minimum requirements for contingency liquidity.
Contingency liquidity is reported daily. The FHLBNY met its requirements at all times. The following table summarizes excess contingency liquidity (in millions):

Legislative and Regulatory Developments
Registration of the FHLBanks under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
On June 29, 2004, the Finance Board published its final rule requiring the FHLBanks to register a class of equity securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Section 12(g)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”). Such registration of equity securities would require the FHLBanks to comply with the disclosure and reporting requirements of the 1934 Act and to file annual, quarterly, and current reports with the SEC, as well as meet other requirements. The final rule required the FHLBanks to file their registration statements with the SEC no later than June 30, 2005, with registration to be effective no later than August 29, 2005.
The FHLBNY’s registration of its equity securities with the SEC became effective on August 29, 2005. As of September 30, 2005, the FHLBank of San Francisco is the only other Federal Home Loan Bank that has registered with the SEC. The remaining ten FHLBanks are continuing to resolve various outstanding accounting and other issues. Separately, in its Advisory Bulletin 2005-AB-07, the Finance Board has stated that, until an FHLBank’s registration with the SEC becomes effective, such FHLBank should declare a dividend only following consultation with and approval by the Finance Board’s Office of Supervision.
While registration with the SEC may result in increased regulatory compliance costs to the FHLBNY as well as the other FHLBanks, it is uncertain at this time what effects, if any, such registration ultimately will have on the cost of FHLBank System debt or other aspects of the FHLBNY’s operations.
Finance Board and FHLBank Agreements
The FHLBNY’s access to funds in the capital markets may be affected by a variety of factors, including issues affecting the other FHLBanks as a result of the joint and several liability that each of the FHLBanks has for the consolidated obligations issued through the Office of Finance. During 2004, two FHLBanks entered into supervisory agreements with the Finance Board, as described in more detail below.
On June 30, 2004, the Finance Board entered into an agreement with the Board of Directors of the FHLBank of Chicago which required the FHLBank of Chicago to, among other things, adopt a revised business plan, maintain a regulatory capital level of no less than 5.1% and, unless otherwise restricted by the Finance Board, restrict the annual growth of its Acquired Member Assets program to 10%. Pursuant to this agreement, the FHLBank of Chicago adopted a revised business plan which was accepted by the Finance Board in February 2005.
The FHLBank of Chicago’s agreement with the Finance Board was subsequently amended on October 18, 2005. Under the amended agreement, the FHLBank of Chicago must maintain capital stock in an amount at least equal to its capital stock balance as of the close of business on October 18, 2005 and a regulatory capital ratio of not less than 4.5%. The amended agreement prohibits the FHLBank of Chicago from redeeming or repurchasing any capital stock from a member if doing so would violate either of these minimum capital requirements.
The amended agreement also requires the FHLBank of Chicago to submit to the Finance Board by December 15, 2005, a retained earnings and dividend policy and revisions to its business plan strategies to enhance and improve the earnings and capital of the FHLBank of Chicago Until the Finance Board has accepted the retained earnings policy and the revised business plan strategies and the FHLBank of Chicago has an effective registration statement filed with the SEC under the 1934 Act, the FHLBank of Chicago may not declare or pay a dividend without the prior written approval of the Finance Board. The

FHLBank of Chicago also suspended, as of October 18, 2005, all redemptions of excess capital stock. Such suspension will remain in place until the FHLBank Chicago determines to reinstitute such redemptions and obtains Finance Board approval to do so.
Separately, on December 10, 2004, the Finance Board entered into an agreement with the Board of Directors of the FHLBank of Seattle to address governance, risk management, and financial performance and to enhance business planning and capital management. The agreement calls for the FHLBank of Seattle to submit a three year business plan and capital plan and monthly progress reports to the Finance Board. That business plan has been accepted by the Finance Board and, in connection therewith, the FHLBank of Seattle has announced a suspension of dividend payments and limitations on stock repurchases. The FHLBank of Seattle has also announced that it is terminating its Acquired Member Assets program and will discontinue the purchase of mortgages under that program from its members.
We do not believe the FHLBanks have suffered a material adverse impact on their ability to issue consolidated obligations due to the negative publicity surrounding the aforementioned supervisory agreements and other matters affecting certain individual FHLBanks in recent years. The FHLBanks and other housing Government Sponsored Entities have faced negative publicity, which from time to time has adversely affected the cost of funds temporarily. However, we believe that other factors, such as supply of and demand for GSE debt obligations and other market conditions have had a much greater impact on the cost of funds. Investors have recognized the inherent strength of the FHLBanks’ joint and several obligations to pay the principal of and interest on consolidated obligations, and the combined strength of the FHLBanks has lessened investor reaction to the recent adverse publicity surrounding certain individual FHLBanks. However, there can be no assurance that future adverse financial or regulatory developments with respect to the FHLBanks will not adversely affect the cost of funds or the ability of the FHLBanks to issue consolidated obligations.

Delay in Publication of FHLBanks’ Combined Financial Reports; Intended Restatement of Prior Period Statements
On April 15, 2005, the Office of Finance announced a delay in the publication of the FHLBanks’ 2004 Combined Financial Report and Combined Quarterly Financial Report for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 due to the ongoing review of accounting matters being considered by the FHLBanks in preparation for SEC registration. In addition, during 2005, six FHLBanks announced plans to restate previously published financial statements primarily to correct errors related to the accounting for certain derivatives transactions. On August 25, 2005, the Office of Finance announced that its Board of Directors had decided to restate the FHLBanks’ combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001, along with the restatements for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, and subsequent interim periods as previously announced. On August 30, 2005, the Office of Finance stated that it expected to publish all outstanding FHLBank combined financial statements as soon as practical after all restatements are complete and all FHLBank SEC registrations are effective. On the same date, the Office of Finance stated that it did not believe the cumulative adjustments resulting from the five FHLBank restatements announced prior to that time would be material to the combined capital of the FHLBank System or that such restatements would have an adverse impact on the fundamental business of any FHLBanks. However, the final impact on the FHLBanks and the FHLBank System from such restatements will not be known until all of the restatements are completed.
Proposed Changes to Regulation of Government Sponsored Entities
Legislation is being considered by Congress that would, if enacted, establish a new regulator for the housing-related Government Sponsored Entities (i.e., the FHLBanks, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac) and address other Government Sponsored Entity reform issues. The legislation was passed by the House of Representatives on October 26, 2005. Similar legislation was passed by the Senate Banking Committee earlier this year. It is uncertain at this time whether there will be final legislation affecting the FHLBanks, the other housing-related Government Sponsored Entities, and/or their regulators, and, if there is, what the impact of such legislation will be.
Capital Plans Implementation Status
The FHLBanks of Atlanta, Boston, San Francisco and Topeka implemented new capital plans during 2004; the FHLBanks of Indianapolis, Des Moines, Dallas implemented new capital plans during 2003; and the FHLBanks of Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Seattle implemented new capital plans during 2002. The FHLBank of Chicago has announced that it will delay implementation of its capital plan until December 31, 2006, or until a time mutually agreed upon with the Finance Board. As previously announced in an 8-K filed on October 4, 2005, the FHLBank of New York will implement its capital plan on December 1, 2005. The existing capital structure of each of the FHLBanks of Chicago and New York will remain in place until their respective capital plans are implemented. Under the new capital plans, the FHLBanks are subject to various risk-based capital rules. Until an FHLBank implements its new capital plan, the prior capital requirements applicable to the FHLBank will remain in effect.

Part I.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market Risk Management. Market risk, or interest rate risk, is the risk of loss in market value or future earnings that may result from changes in interest rates or market volatility. The FHLBNY’s tolerances for market risk are defined by the Risk Management Policy approved by its Board of Directors. The Risk Management Policy requires that the Bank maintains its duration, or interest rate sensitivity, of equity within a range of +/- five years. The policy also requires that, in simulated environments where market interest rates are increased or decreased by 200 basis points relative to current market rates, the FHLBNY’s duration of equity must remain within a range of +7 years to –6.5 years at December 31, 2004, and at +7 years to -7 years at September 30, 2005. In December 2004, short-term rates were lower and the maximum downshock in interest rates was limited to less than 200 basis points, so the limits were narrowed to account for the lower downshock of 150 basis points. Management actively monitors and evaluates the effects of interest rate and market risk on earnings and on the market value of equity.
The key elements of the FHLBNY’s strategy for interest rate risk management include (1) matching the cash flow patterns of assets and liabilities through time and under different interest rate scenarios; and (2) actively measuring and managing the balance sheet’s exposure to changes in interest rate levels (and associated spreads) and market volatilities.
Between December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2005, duration of equity rose from 1.50 years to 1.60 years. As of September 30, 2005, the cumulative one-year gap between assets and liabilities was $2.5 billion, down $683 million from December 2004.
During the period December 31, 2004 to September 30, 2005, the FHLBNY’s market risk profile changed as summarized in Duration of Equity tables in subsequent sections of “Market Risk Management.” With regard to overall risk exposure measurements, the limits on the Bank’s duration have been re-adjusted to account for higher short-term interest rates. The limits under the 200 basis-point shock were +7 years to –7 years, and the limits under the base case remain at +5 years to –5 years.
As of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, 72.2% and 77.5% of the balance sheet consisted of advances. In general, advances are funded by consolidated obligations of similar effective maturities. The FHLBNY uses derivative instruments to adjust the effective maturities, repricing frequencies, or option characteristics of the consolidated obligations in a way that is consistent with the overall risk management objectives of match funding.
The FHLBNY typically enters into interest rate swaps, swaptions and cap and floor agreements (collectively referred to as derivatives). The FHLBNY uses such derivatives in three ways: (1) as fair value or cash flow hedges of an underlying financial instrument or a forecasted transaction; (2) as economic hedges to offset derivative positions (e.g., caps) sold to members; and (3) as tools of asset/liability management. In the context of its asset/liability management strategy, the FHLBNY uses derivatives to adjust the interest rate sensitivity of consolidated obligations to more closely approximate the interest rate sensitivity of assets. For instance, the FHLBNY may use a swap to effectively convert a fixed-rate consolidated obligation into a floating-rate obligation with repricing characteristics close to those of the advance being funded.
Because a significant portion (about 12.4%) of the FHLBNY’s balance sheet consists of mortgage-backed securities and other mortgage-related assets, the FHLBNY is exposed to mortgage prepayment risk. The FHLBNY is exposed to a degree of interest rate risk because the cash flows of the mortgage assets and the liabilities that fund them are not perfectly matched through time and across all possible interest rate

scenarios. The cash flows from mortgage assets are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates because of the borrowers’ prepayment option. As interest rates decrease, borrowers are more likely to refinance fixed-rate mortgages, resulting in increased prepayments and mortgage cash flows that are received earlier than would otherwise occur. Replacing the higher-rate loans that are prepaid with lower-rate loans has the potential to reduce the FHLBNY’s interest spread unless the Bank can also reduce its debt cost. Conversely, an increase in interest rates may result in slower prepayments and mortgage cash flows being received later than would otherwise occur. In this case, the FHLBNY runs the risk that the debt may reprice faster than the mortgage assets and at a higher cost. This could also reduce the interest spread.
When purchasing mortgage assets, the FHLBNY attempts to issue liabilities with similar cash flows in order to achieve a stable net interest spread. The FHLBNY issues a mix of debt securities across a broad spectrum of final maturities to achieve the desired liability characteristics. Because the estimated lives of mortgage assets change as interest rates change, the FHLBNY issues callable debt or uses derivatives to alter the estimated life of liabilities and offset the expected change in cash flows of our mortgage assets.
Risk measurement at the FHLBNY takes three major forms: (1) ongoing business risk measures and analyses; (2) runoff measures of the existing balance sheet; and (3) stress test scenarios. The first two categories of measures help the FHLBNY in its day-to-day risk management decisions. Stress test scenarios identify and quantify the FHLBNY’s exposure to extreme but improbable events.
Ongoing business risk measures and analyses seek to quantify the level of net interest income at risk (i.e., how much income the FHLBNY could lose as a result of various types of arbitrarily large interest rate shocks). These calculations essentially amount to studying the impact of stressful interest rate shocks on projected net interest income. The projections start from a “snapshot” of the current balance sheet and simulate its evolution, over a one-year horizon, taking into account business projections of the likely behaviour of advances and assumptions about the net spread earned on each asset category. The result is a one-year projection of net interest income. Perturbations of that initial forecast by stressful interest rate scenarios then give the FHLBNY a measure of how much income it could gain or lose under each scenario. Experience has shown that such analyses, even though they rely heavily on assumptions, provide a reasonable measure of the risks that the FHLBNY incurs as an ongoing concern, regardless of the interest rate environment. As defined by the FHLBNY, net interest income at risk measures the percentage change in projected net interest income from the spread between asset yields and liability costs resulting from an instantaneous, parallel +/- 200 basis-point rate shock. This risk measure is reported to the Board of Directors in accordance with the Risk Management Policy.
To manage its interest rate risk, the FHLBNY keeps close watch on the difference between the interest rate sensitivity (duration) of its assets and the duration of its liabilities. This difference between the estimated durations of portfolio assets and liabilities is called the duration gap. The duration gap represents the extent to which estimated cash flows for assets and liabilities are matched, on average, over time and across interest rate scenarios. A positive duration gap signals a greater exposure to rising interest rates because it indicates that the duration of assets exceeds the duration of liabilities. A negative duration gap signals a greater exposure to declining interest rates because the duration of assets is less than the duration of liabilities.
Even if the assets and liabilities were equally sensitive on a per-dollar basis, the market value of equity (“MVE”)— the difference between the market value of assets and the market value of liabilities—would still be sensitive to changes in interest rates. The reason is that the market value of equity essentially measures the part of the balance sheet that is not funded by debt. It follows that, unless the duration of liabilities exceeds the duration of assets (to make up for the fact that the value of liabilities falls short of the value of assets), the value of equity can never be fully immunized against any arbitrary interest rate shock. The smaller the duration gap, the less sensitive the market value of equity is to changes in interest rates.

A stress test aims at capturing the impact of extreme (but rare) market rate perturbations on the market value of equity and net interest income. The FHLBNY has developed a technique to identify the interest rate and volatility scenario that can cause the most severe loss in the market value of equity, given current market and balance sheet conditions. Every month, this scenario is applied to the FHLBNY’s balance sheet and the resulting loss in the market value of equity is evaluated. Besides providing a measure of the potential loss under the extreme scenario, this technique enables the FHLBNY to identify the nature of the changes in market risk factors to which it is the most sensitive, allowing FHLBNY to take appropriate action to address those risk factors. The FHLBNY views such additional tests as an integral part of its risk management strategy.
The FHLBNY monitors the balance sheet and adjusts it as necessary to contain interest rate risk within the Bank’s policy limits on the sensitivity of net interest income from spread, the size of periodic repricing gaps, and equity duration.
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, there were no substantive changes to the Bank’s modelling processes. During the December 2003 to December 2004 period, FHLBNY instituted several changes in the modelling for calculating interest rate risk. First, the Bank changed the modelling of mortgage-backed securities to its internal risk modelling system instead of receiving risk measures from external sources. Second, FHLBNY no longer includes accrued interest in the duration calculations. Third, FHLBNY now excludes lease costs from the duration measure.
Net Interest Income at Risk. As of September 30, 2005, the FHLBNY’s one-year net interest income from spread at risk measures were 4.51% and –3.47% compared to 5.72% and 14.17% on December 31, 2004 under the 200 basis-point up and down shocks. The December 2004 values in the down shock were actually based upon a –150 basis-point shock from the shock to prevent negative interest rates from the shock in the low interest rate environment.
The FHLBNY’s limit on net interest income from spread at risk is –15%. The Bank was, therefore, within its limit for net interest income sensitivity for all periods reported. During 2004, the FHLBNY changed its net interest income estimation process from a labor-intensive approach to one that utilizes its pricing/duration software. The FHLBNY monitors its repricing gaps primarily to limit the variability of net interest income.

PART I.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Alfred DelliBovi, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Patrick A. Morgan, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2005. Based upon their evaluation, they each found that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The FHLBNY is subject to various pending legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. After consultation with legal counsel, management does not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of these matters will have a material effect on the FHLBNY’s financial condition or operating results.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY AND THE USE OF PROCEEDS
The FHLBNY issues letters of credit in the ordinary course of business. From time to time the FHLBNY provides standby letters of credit to support members’ letters of credit or obligations issued to support unaffiliated, third-party offerings of notes, bonds or other securities to finance housing-related projects.
The FHLBNY provided such credit support of $167.2 million at September 30, 2005, and $119.5 million, $81.4 million, and $202.1 million at December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002. To the extent that these letters of credit are securities for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, the issuance of the letter of credit by the FHLBNY is exempt from registration pursuant to section 3(a)(2) thereof.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
