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.
Members of the cooperative must purchase FHLBNY stock according to regulatory requirements. The business of the cooperative is to provide liquidity for our members (primarily in the form of advances) and to provide a return on their investment in FHLBNY stock in the form of a dividend. Since the members are both stockholders and customers, there is a trade-off between providing value to them via low pricing for advances with a relatively lower dividend versus higher advances pricing with a relatively higher dividend. This means that the FHLBNY is managed to deliver balanced value to members, rather than to maximize profitability or advance volume through low pricing.
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. All members are required to purchase capital stock in the FHLBNY as a condition of membership. A member of another FHLBank or a financial institution that is not a member of any FHLBank may also hold FHLBNY stock as a result of having acquired an FHLBNY member. As a result of the membership requirements, the FHLBNY conducts business with related parties in the normal course of business and considers all members and non-member stockholders as related parties in addition to the 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.
The FHLBNY obtains its funds from several sources. A primary source is the sale of FHLBank debt instruments, called consolidated obligations, 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 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.

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 FHLBNY accrues its REFCORP assessment on a monthly basis.
The Resolution Funding Corporation has been designated as the calculation agent for Affordable Housing Program and REFCORP assessments. Each FHLBank provides its net income before Affordable Housing Program and REFCORP to the Resolution Funding Corporation, which then performs the calculations for each quarter end.
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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”, and the assessment for Affordable Housing Program, but after the assessment for REFCORP. The exclusion of interest expense related to mandatorily redeemable capital stock is a regulatory interpretation of the Finance Board. The FHLBNY accrues this expense monthly based on its income.
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 expense 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, 2005, included in Form 10-K filed on March 30, 2006.
Note 1 to Financial Statements of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York filed with Form 10-K on March 30, 2006 contains a summary of our significant accounting policies.
Note 1. Accounting Developments
Recently Issued Accounting Standards & Interpretations
SFAS 156 — In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets” (“SFAS 156”).
SFAS 156 amends SFAS 140 with respect to the accounting for separately-recognized servicing assets and liabilities. SFAS 156 requires all separately-recognized servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, and permits companies to elect, on a class-by-class basis, to account for servicing assets and liabilities on either a lower of cost or market value basis or a fair value measurement basis.
The new standard provides some relief for servicers that use derivatives to economically hedge fluctuations in the fair value of their servicing rights. In a rising interest rate environment, losses on derivatives used for hedging must be recognized. However, corresponding increases in the fair value of the related servicing rights previously could not be recognized since SFAS 140 mandated that servicing rights be carried at the lower of cost or market. This situation generates income volatility.
SFAS 156 also changes how gains and losses are computed in transfers or securitizations that qualify for “sale treatment” in which the transferor retains the right to service the transferred financial assets. Under SFAS 156, servicing assets must be initially recorded at fair value and treated as part of the proceeds received by the transferor, thus effecting the gain/loss calculations.
The Bank has chosen not to early adopt and will apply the provisions of SFAS 156 as of January 1, 2007. The Bank is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 156. However, implementation of the standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Bank.
As discussed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements in the Bank’s Form 10-K filed on March 30, 2006, the adoption of Derivatives Implementation Group (“DIG”) Issues B38, “Evaluation of Net Settlement with Respect to the Settlement of a Debt Instrument through Exercise of an Embedded Put Option or Call Option” and DIG Issue B39, “Application of Paragraph 13(b) to Call Options That Are Exercisable Only by the Debtor” did not have a material impact on the operations and financial condition of the FHLBNY.
The Bank continues to evaluate the impact of adopting SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (“SFAS 155”), and has not yet determined the effect, if any, that the implementation of SFAS 155 will have on its earnings or financial position.

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 at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. 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. Securities, to which different rating levels have been assigned by different rating agencies, i.e., split ratings, are assigned to the lower rating category.

There were 47 securities in a temporarily impaired condition for 12-months or longer at March 31, 2006, representing 21.8% of MBS securities in terms of the numbers of securities. In terms of the book value outstanding at March 31, 2006, the percentage was 29.9% or $2.7 billion.
The FHLBNY has both the intent and financial ability to hold the temporarily impaired securities to anticipated 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 represent temporary impairment at March 31, 2006.

Note 4. Mortgage Loans
Mortgage Partnership Finance® Program (“MPF”®) loans predominate the mortgage loans held for investment. The MPF program involves investment by the FHLBNY in mortgage loans that are purchased from its participating members. Included in the total are outstanding balances of $48.8 million and $48.7 million at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, comprising of mortgage loans originated by the FHLBNY. The FHLBNY’s member institutions create, service, and credit-enhance the loans. No intermediary trusts are involved. Other loans consist entirely of loans in the Community Mortgage Partnership Asset (“CMA”) program, which has been inactive since 2001.

The FHLBNY and its members share the credit risk of MPF loans by structuring potential credit losses into layers. The first layer is typically 100 basis points but varies with the particular MPF program. The First Loss Account is not recorded or reported as a reserve for loan losses. The FHLBNY is responsible for absorbing losses in the first layer. The second layer is that amount of credit obligations that the Participating Financial Institution (“PFI”) has taken on which will equate the loan to a double-A rating. The FHLBNY pays a Credit Enhancement fee to the PFI for taking on this obligation. The FHLBNY assumes all residual risk. Credit Enhancement fees accrued aggregated $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and were reported as a reduction to mortgage loan interest income. The amounts of charge-offs in all periods reported were insignificant and it was not necessary for the FHLBNY to recoup any losses from the PFIs.

Note 6. Capital, Capital Ratios, and Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock
The FHLBanks, including FHLBNY, have a unique cooperative structure. To access FHLBNY’s products and services, a financial institution must be approved for membership and purchase capital stock in FHLBNY. The member’s stock requirement is based on the amount of mortgage-related assets on the member’s balance sheet and its use of FHLBNY advances, as prescribed by the FHLBank Act, which reflects the value of having ready access to FHLBNY as a reliable source of low-cost funds. FHLBNY stock can be issued, exchanged, redeemed and repurchased only at its stated par value of $100 per share. The stock is not publicly traded.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLB Act”) allows the FHLBNY to have two classes of stock, and each class may have sub-classes. Class A stock 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 the FHLBNY 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.
The FHLBNY’s capital stock comprises of Class B stock which is sub-divided into membership stock and activity-based stock.
The FHLBNY is subject to risk-based capital rules. Specifically, the FHLBNY is subject to three capital requirements under the new capital structure plan adopted on December 1, 2005. First, the FHLBNY must maintain at all times permanent capital in an amount at least equal to the sum of its credit risk capital requirement, its market risk capital requirement, and its operations risk capital requirement, calculated in accordance with the FHLBNY policy and rules and regulations of the Finance Board. Only permanent capital, defined as Class B stock and retained earnings, satisfies this risk-based capital requirement. The Finance Board may require the FHLBNY to maintain a greater amount of permanent capital than is required as defined by the risk-based capital requirements. In addition, the FHLBNY is required to maintain at least a 4% total capital-to-asset ratio and at least a 5% leverage ratio at all times. The leverage ratio is defined as the sum of permanent capital weighted 1.5 times and nonpermanent capital weighted 1.0 time divided by total assets. The FHLBNY was in compliance with the aforementioned capital rules and requirements. Mandatorily redeemable capital stock is considered capital for determining the FHLBNY’s compliance with its regulatory requirements.

Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock
Generally speaking, 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 March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 represented stock held by former members who were 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.
The three triggering events that could cause the FHLBNY to repurchase 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 will be 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 penalty, the FHLBNY considers the member’s intent regarding such request to not be substantive in nature and therefore no reclassification to a liability will be necessary at the time the request is delivered.
When a member delivers a notification of its intent to withdraw from membership, the reclassification from equity to a liability will become effective upon receipt of the notification. The FHLBNY considers the member’s intent regarding such notification to be substantive in nature and, therefore, reclassification to liability will be necessary at the time the notification of the intent to withdraw is delivered.

Note 8. 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 March 31, 2006, and purchased caps and floors if the counterparty defaults and the related collateral, if any, is of no value to the FHLBNY.
The following table presents outstanding notional balances and estimated fair values of the derivatives by SFAS 133 hedge type at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 (in thousands):

Earnings Impact of Hedging Activities
Net Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities
As a result of applying SFAS 133, the FHLBNY recorded the following net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands):
                 
    Three months ended  
    March 31, 2006     March 31, 2005

Cash Flow Hedges
There were no material amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005 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 $3.0 million of net gains recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income at March 31, 2006, will be recognized in earnings.

Note 9. Employee Retirement Plans
The FHLBNY participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (“DB Plan”). The DB Plan is a tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all officers and employees of the FHLBNY. Contributions to DB Plan charged to operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 were $1.5 million, and $1.6 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 $282 thousand, and $322 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, 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 Benefit Equalization Thrift Plan. The plan’s liability consists of the accumulated compensation deferrals and accrued earnings on the deferrals. Assumptions used in determining the supplemental retirement pension cost included a discount rate assumption of 5.50%.
Components of the net periodic pension cost for the FHLBNY’s supplemental retirement plan, referred to as the Benefit Equalization Plan, were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands):

Note 10. Related Party Transactions
The FHLBNY is a cooperative and the members own almost all of the stock of the FHLBNY. Stock that is not owned by members is held by former members. The majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the FHLBNY are elected by and from the membership. The FHLBNY conducts its advances business almost exclusively with members.
All transactions with all members, including those whose officers may serve as directors of the FHLBNY, are at terms that are no more favorable than comparable transactions with other members.

Note 13. 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”); FHLBNY would have otherwise been required 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 liabilities as similar to a related party guarantee, which meets the scope exceptions in FIN 45. Accordingly, the FHLBNY has not recognized a liability for its joint and several obligations related to other FHLBanks’ consolidated obligations at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. The par amounts of the twelve FHLBanks’ outstanding consolidated obligations, including the FHLBNY’s, were approximately $935.8 billion and $937.5 billion at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
Commitments for additional advances totalled approximately $20.4 billion and $20.8 billion as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. Commitments are conditional, and generally were 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. Standby letters of credit are issued on behalf of members for a fee to facilitate residential housing, community lending, and members’ asset/liability management or to provide liquidity. Members assume an unconditional obligation to reimburse the FHLBNY for value given by the FHLBNY to the beneficiary under the standby letter of credit. The FHLBNY may, in its discretion, permit the member to finance repayment of this obligation by receiving a collateralized advance. Outstanding standby letters of credit were approximately $224.9 million and $238.3 million as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively and had original terms of up to fifteen years, with a final expiration in 2019. Unearned fees on standby letters of credit are recorded in other liabilities and were not significant as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. 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 FHLBNY was unconditionally obligated to purchase $1.4 million and $0.7 million in mortgage loans at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 under the MPF program. Commitments are generally for periods not to exceed 45 days. In accordance with SFAS 149, such commitments entered into after June 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 $416.1 million and $379.8 million as of March 31, 2006 December 31, 2005.
The FHLBNY generally executes derivatives with major banks and broker-dealers and generally enters into bilateral collateral agreements. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, interest-bearing deposits included $93.1 million and $244.8 million in cash pledged as collateral to broker-dealers and banks with credit-risk exposure to the FHLBNY related to derivatives.
The FHLBNY charged to operating expenses net rental costs of approximately $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended at March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005. 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.

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 2006 first-quarter net income of $62.7 million, or $1.73 per share of capital stock, compared with net income of $59.3 million, or $1.65 per share of capital stock, for the first quarter of 2005. Annualized return on average stockholders’ equity, defined as capital stock and retained earnings, increased to 6.55% for the first-quarter in 2006 compared to 6.29% in the comparative quarter in 2005. Annualized return on average earning assets increased to 50.9 basis points in the first-quarter in 2006, up from 46.5 basis points in the comparable quarter in 2005. Average stockholders’ equity increased to $3.9 billion during the first quarter in 2006, up from $3.8 billion average during the comparable quarter in 2005.
A cash dividend of $5.11 per share of capital was paid in January 2006 for the fourth quarter of 2005, up from $3.05 paid in January 2005 for the fourth quarter 2004. A cash dividend of $5.25 per share was paid in April 2006 for the first quarter of 2006.
Net interest income after provision for credit losses, a key metric for the FHLBNY, grew to $103.2 million for the first quarter in 2006, up from $97.4 million in the comparable quarter in 2005. Net interest income represents the difference between income from interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. The difference, also referred to as net spread, was 26.9 basis points in the first quarter 2006, down from 28.9 basis points in the comparable quarter in 2005. Total reported assets at March 31, 2006 were $85.3 billion, a small increase from $85.0 billion at December 31, 2005. Reported amount of advances outstanding at March 31, 2006 was $62.4 billion, compared to $61.9 billion at December 31, 2005. These balances included the basis adjustment associated with the fair value of hedged advances. Par amount of advance outstanding, a better measure of demand, at March 31, 2006 was $62.5 billion, up from $61.7 billion at December 31, 2005.

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 those 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; 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 that describes the critical accounting policies, and Note 1 to the Financial Statements in the FHLBNY’s Form 10-K filed on March 30, 2006.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards & Interpretations
SFAS 156 — In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets” (“SFAS 156”).
SFAS 156 amends SFAS 140 with respect to the accounting for separately — recognized servicing assets and liabilities. SFAS 156 requires all separately- recognized servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, and permits companies to elect, on a class-by-class basis, to account for servicing assets and liabilities on either a lower of cost or market value basis or a fair value measurement basis.
The new standard provides some relief for servicers that use derivatives to economically hedge fluctuations in the fair value of their servicing rights. In a rising interest rate environment, losses on derivatives used for hedging must be recognized. However, corresponding increases in the fair value of the related servicing rights previously could not be recognized since SFAS 140 mandates that servicing rights be carried at the lower of cost or market. This situation generates income volatility.
SFAS 156 also changes how gains and losses are computed in transfers or securitizations that qualify for “sale treatment” in which the transferor retains the right to service the transferred financial assets. Under SFAS 156, servicing assets must be initially recorded at fair value and treated as part of the proceeds received by the transferor, thus effecting the gain/loss calculations.
The Bank has chosen not to early adopt and will apply the provisions of SFAS 156 as of January 1, 2007. The Bank is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 156. However, implementation of the standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Bank.
As discussed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements in the Bank’s Form 10-K filed on March 30, 2006, the adoption of Derivatives Implementation Group (“DIG”) Issues B38, “Evaluation of Net Settlement with Respect to the Settlement of a Debt Instrument through Exercise of an Embedded Put Option or Call Option” and DIG Issue B39, “Application of Paragraph 13(b) to Call Options That Are Exercisable Only by the Debtor” did not have a material impact on the operations and financial condition of the FHLBNY.
The Bank continues to evaluate the impact of adopting SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (“SFAS 155”), and has not yet determined the effect, if any, that the implementation of SFAS 155 will have on its earnings or financial position.

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. Interest income from advances is the principal source of revenue. The primary expenses are interest paid on consolidated obligations, AHP and REFCORP assessments, and operating expenses. 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, together referred to as assessments.
Net income for the first-quarter 2006 was $62.7 million, compared to $59.3 million for the comparable quarter in 2005. Net income is after AHP and REFCORP assessments, which are a fixed percentage of the FHLBNY’s income. In a rising rate environment, the FHLBNY continued to earn significant income from interest earning assets funded by non-interest bearing capital and other funds. Net income for the first quarter in 2006 has also benefited from relatively better execution of debt issuances compared to the first quarter in 2005. In addition, repricing of unswapped, fixed-rate debt has lagged behind in a steadily rising interest rate environment, contributing to a lower overall increase in funding costs. These positive contributions were partly offset by decline in investments in mortgage backed securities, which typically yield higher coupons, and partly by increase in operating expenses of $0.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the principal source of revenue for the FHLBNY and the primary factors that impact it are yields from advances, investment yields, minus the cost of consolidated obligation debt. The execution of interest rate swaps in the derivative market at a constant spread to LIBOR, in effect converting fixed-rate assets and debt to conventional adjustable-rate instruments tied to LIBOR, is also a factor. Income earned from assets funded by member capital and retained earnings, which are non-interest bearing, is another important consideration for the FHLBNY.

Reported net interest income of $103.2 million for the 2006 first-quarter was up 5.95% compared to $97.4 million for the comparable quarter in 2005.
First quarter 2006 net interest income continued to benefit from maturing advances being replaced by new advances at new pricing initiated during the latter part of 2004. Deployment of capital and non-interest bearing liabilities in a rising rate environment provided the Bank with significant income. While average total capital and non-interest bearing liabilities declined to $4.5 billion for the first quarter in 2006, down from $5.2 billion, the weighted-average yield on assets increased by 149 basis points to 4.66%, compared to 3.17% during the first quarter in 2005. As a result, earnings from the deployment of capital in the first quarter of 2006 made a stronger contribution to net interest income compared to the same periods in 2005. Investment volume during the first quarter in 2006 declined primarily in the higher-yielding MBS portfolio, when compared to the first quarter in 2005. Maturing mortgage backed securities were replaced by lower-yielding shorter-term certificates of deposits. During 2005, the FHLBNY also sold its entire portfolio of available-for-sale securities, consisting of variable rate MBS, and this too contributed to the yield compression in the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005. The FHLBNY continues to believe that current market pricing of mortgage and -asset- backed securities is unattractive from a risk reward perspective.

The Rate and Volume Analysis exhibits changes in interest income, interest expense, and net interest income that were due to changes in volumes and rates. The following table presents the extent to which changes in interest rates and changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities affected the FHLBNY’s interest income and interest expense during the three months ended March 2006 and 2005.

Asset volumes in the first quarter of 2006 have declined compared to the first quarter in 2005. Declines were largely related to decline in advances and investments. Investment volumes, primarily in mortgage-backed securities, have not kept pace with paydowns and maturities. Volume declines in advances and investments were partly offset by the FHLBNY’s decision to increase investment in short-term federal funds sold, and certificates of deposits, and to increase short-term liquidity. MBS investment levels decreased due to conditions in the capital markets.
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.

Service fees consisted primarily from providing correspondence banking services to members, and fees earned on standby letters of credit.
Net realized and unrealized gains and losses from hedging activities were 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 net realized and unrealized loss of $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to a gain of $1.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2005.
There was no early retirement of debt in the first quarter of 2006.

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.
For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the FHLBNY accrued $15.7 million towards its obligations to the Resolution Funding Corporation and accrued $14.8 million in the comparable period in 2005. The Affordable Housing Program accrual was $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to $6.7 million for the comparable period in 2005. Assessments are analogous to a tax on income and the increase reflects the increase in pre-assessment income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.

Financial Position — Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders’ Capital
Total balance sheet assets at March 31, 2006 stood at $85.3 billion, up $0.3 billion from $85.0 billion at December 31, 2005. Interest-bearing deposits, comprising principally of short-term certificates of deposits held by highly rated financial institutions, were down to $6.3 billion at March 31, 2006, compared to $8.7 billion at December 31, 2005. Investments in Federal funds, mainly overnight, were $4.6 billion at March 31, 2006, up from $2.9 billion at December 31, 2005. The FHLBNY continues to believe pricing of MBS is unattractive, and has only increased investments in MBS by about $0.5 billion to $9.1 billion at March 31, 2006, compared to $8.6 billion at December 31, 2005. Investments in short-term funds have replaced declining investments in mortgage-backed securities over the last several reported periods.
Reported book value of advances was $62.4 billion at March 31, 2006, up from $61.9 billion at December 31, 2005. Reported book value at March 31, 2006 included a basis adjustment of $131.0 million, representing unrealized fair value losses, compared to an unrealized gain of $207.7 million at December 31, 2005. Par amount of advances, a better measure of demand, was $62.5 billion at March 31, 2006, up from $61.7 billion at December 31, 2005. Demand for advances has averaged $62.3 billion during the first quarter in 2006, compared to $64.8 billion in the comparable period in 2005.
The FHLBNY continues to rely primarily on consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes to fund its assets. Bonds at March 31, 2006 funded 68.2% of assets and discount notes funded 23.2%; the comparable percentages at December 31, 2005 were 66.8% for bonds and 24.1% for discount notes, indicative of a virtually unchanged funding strategy.
Mandatorily redeemable capital stock, representing capital stock in support of advances held by non-members, aggregated $27.4 million, up from $18.1 million. The increase mainly represented stock held by a member that had been acquired by a non-member in the first quarter in 2006. Excess activity stock of non-members and members are redeemed daily.
Capital stock at March 31, 2006 stood at $3.6 billion, almost unchanged from December 31, 2005. There was no excess stock at March 31, 2006 or at December 31, 2005. Retained earnings grew to $308 million at March 31, 2006, up from $291.4 million at December 31, 2005.

The category of Repo advances has continued to decline over the years in the face of competitive pricing pressure from investment banking organizations. 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. 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. In an extremely competitive pricing environment, FHLBNY has continued to maintain pricing discipline and to 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 continued to be soft, and the amount outstanding declined by $1.5 billion at March 31, 2006. 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”) increased by $735 million to $14.3 billion at March 31, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005. ARC advances are medium- and long-term lending and are typically indexed to LIBOR or Federal funds rate. Demand for LIBOR and Federal funds indexed advances has been stable during the first quarter 2006, indicating member preference for variable-rate borrowings in a rising rate environment associated with a relatively flat yield curve.
Fixed-rate advances increased by $2.3 billion to $27.9 billion at March 31, 2006. 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.

On March 12, 2006, Capital One Financial Corporation (“Capital One”) and North Fork Bankcorporation, Inc (“North Fork”), announced a definitive agreement under which Capital One will acquire North Fork. Capital One is a holding company of certain financial institutions that are members of other FHLBanks. North Fork is a member of the FHLBNY.
Under Finance Board rules, when North Fork is acquired by Capital One and if its charter is dissolved, North Fork will be considered a non-member for the purposes of being eligible for additional borrowings. The FHLBNY may not advance additional funds to North Fork, but allow existing advances to mature or be liquidated in an orderly manner. Under that scenario, the accounting provisions of SFAS 150 will require the FHLBNY to reclassify to liability stock held by North Fork. The FHLBNY has not yet determined if North Fork will continue to operate within its existing charter. At March 31, 2006, par amount of advances outstanding to North Fork aggregated $3.6 billion; interest income derived from North Fork amounted to $49.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Capital stock held by North Fork at March 31, 2006 aggregated $243.8 million.

Investments
The FHLBNY acquires investments authorized by Finance Board policies and regulations, and it maintains substantial investments in high-quality, short- and intermediate-term financial instruments. At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the FHLBNY’s investments consisted of investment securities classified as held-to-maturity, interest-bearing deposits, bank 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. During 2005, the FHLBNY also had an available-for-sale portfolio comprising of variable rate mortgage-backed securities, all of which were sold in 2005, and there were no outstanding securities in the portfolio at March 31, 2006.
The following table summarizes changes in investment categories (including held-to-maturity securities) between December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006 (dollars in thousands):

Held-to-maturity Securities
Mortgage- 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. The FHLBNY’s remaining held-to-maturity investments at March 31, 2006 consisted of $0.9 billion in housing-related obligations of state and local governments and their housing agencies, and the outstanding balance was down slightly from December 31, 2005. These obligations carried a rating of double-A or higher. Estimated fair values of held-to-maturity securities in a temporarily unrealized loss position were below book value at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 by $209.1 million and $125.8 million, respectively. These losses were partially offset by unrealized gains of $58.9 million and $88.9 million at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
The FHLBNY has been selective in replacing MBS pay-downs, electing instead to allow its portfolio to grow only moderately. While the Finance Board regulations allow the FHLBNY to purchase MBS up to 300% of capital, the FHLBNY has decided at this time to forgo 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 current time market pricing is unattractive. MBS as a percentage of capital, as defined by Finance Board regulations, stood at 230% at March 31, 2006 compared to 220% at December 31, 2005.

Amortized cost basis of held-to-maturity MBS at March 31, 2006 was $9.1 billion, compared to its fair value of $8.9 billion. The fair value of state or local housing agency bonds was $0.9 billion slightly below its reported book value. The fair value of held-to-maturity securities, which are primarily fixed rate securities at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, 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.
Short-term and overnight assets
At March 31, 2006, interest-bearing deposits included investments in certificates of deposits, all maturing within twelve months and, totalled $6.3 billion, down from $8.7 billion at December 31, 2005. Federal funds sold at March 31, 2006 stood at $4.6 billion, up from $2.9 billion at December 31, 2005. 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. Both short- and long-term investments are also used by the FHLBNY to generate additional returns on capital for its members.
Cash deposits pledged by the FHLBNY to derivative counterparties declined in parallel with the decline in the fair value exposure of FHLBNY’s derivatives trades at March 31, 2006. The pledged balances, all interest-earning cash deposits, were $93.1 million at March 31, 2006 compared to $244.8 million at December 31, 2005.

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the FHLBNY added $28.9 million in new Mortgage Partnership Finance loans; run-offs totalled $38.9 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 $6.9 million and $9.7 million at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The Bank does not expect the MPF loans to increase substantially, and provides this product to its members as another alternative for members to sell their mortgage production.
Deposit Liabilities
At March 31, 2006, the FHLBNY’s deposit liabilities were comprised of demand and other term deposits predominantly from members and some from eligible entities. Deposits at March 31, 2006 aggregated $2.4 billion, compared to $2.7 billion at December 31, 2005. Member deposit balances are typically higher at quarter-end dates. The average demand deposit balance for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $1.4 billion.
The FHLBNY operates deposit programs for the benefit of its members. Deposits are primarily short-term in nature, with the majority maintained in demand accounts that re-price daily based upon rates prevailing in the overnight Federal funds market. Members’ liquidity preferences are the primary determinant of the level of deposits .
Cash collateral pledged to the FHLBNY by derivatives counterparties at March 31, 2006 was $7.3 million compared to $13.8 million at December 31, 2005, and the decline reflects the change in the net unrealized gain position of certain derivative contracts with counterparties.

Consolidated Obligation Liabilities
The reported carrying value of hedged consolidated debt is adjusted for changes in their fair value basis that are attributable to the risk being hedged in accordance with hedge accounting rules. Amounts reported for consolidated obligation debt in the Statements of Condition included fair value basis. At March 31, 2006, the fair value basis of hedged debt was $468.2 million in unrealized gains, compared to $375.9 million at December 31, 2005. Changes in fair value basis reflect changes in the term structure of interest rates, the shape of the yield curve at the measurement dates and the value and implied volatility of call options of callable bonds, together with activity in the funding books, which includes issuances of new bonds and to a lesser extent, maturity of bonds. The fair value basis typically shows market value gains when interest rates rise. Unrealized gains associated with hedged debt were almost entirely offset by unrealized losses associated with the interest rate swaps that hedged the consolidated obligation bonds at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 there were no consolidated obligation discount notes that were hedged, although during 2005, the FHLBNY management executed discount note hedges from time to time in amounts that were not significant.

Funding strategy has remained unchanged.
    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 $58.6 billion at March 31, 2006, compared with $57.1 billion at December 31, 2005. Principal amount of discount notes outstanding aggregated $19.9 billion at March 31, 2006 compared to $20.7 billion at December 31, 2005. Together, they financed 91.4% of the $85.3 billion in total assets at March 31, 2006, almost unchanged from the comparable financing ratios at December 31, 2005.
 
    Consolidated obligation bonds issued and outstanding at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were primarily fixed-rate debt. However, the FHLBNY makes extensive use of derivatives to restructure interest rates on consolidated obligation bonds, both callable and non-callable, to better match its members’ funding needs, and also reduce funding costs. The FHLBNY converts at the time of issuance, certain simple fixed-rate bullet and callable 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. Of

      the par amount of $58.6 billion of all bonds outstanding at March 31, 2006, the aggregate notional amount of swapped out debt stood at $40.8 billion, or 69.6% of total debt. The comparable amount of hedged debt at December 31, 2005 was $38.1 billion, or 66.7%. 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. Typically, callable bonds are hedged by an offsetting mirror-image derivative with identical call options and other terms.
 
    The funding mix between the use of non-callable and callable has been relatively stable. At March 31, 2006, callable, fixed-rate bonds constituted 30.4% of par value of bonds, compared to 27.5% at December 31, 2005. Callable debt and the associated interest rate swap provided funding for short-term assets, and an offset to prepayment options in the Bank’s 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.

  $ 20,510,525     $ 20,651,191       4.05
 
                 
Discounts notes, which have maturities of one year or less, were mostly utilized in funding short-term advances, some long-term advances as well as investments and money market investments.
The relative use of the short-term, discount notes as a funding vehicle decreased somewhat over the three months ended March 31, 2006. Par amount of discount notes financed 23.34% of assets at March 31, 2006, compared to 24.29% at December 31, 2005. The average principal amounts for the three months ending March 31, 2006 were $18.7 billion, compared to the average for the year ended December 31, 2005 of $20.7 billion. The decrease in usage reflected comparative 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. The importance of the instrument in day-to-day funding operations is best illustrated by measuring the annual cash flows generated by discount note issuances. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the FHLBNY issued $159.3 billion and retired $160.1 billion in discount notes. Cash flows from issuance of consolidated obligation bonds were only $11.1 billion. Contrasting transaction volumes between bonds and discount notes provide an indication that discount notes continue to be an important source of short-term funding.
Mandatorily Redeemable Stock
Generally speaking, the FHLBNY’s capital stock is redeemable at the option of both the member and the FHLBNY subject to certain conditions.
At March 31, 2006, total mandatorily redeemable stock was $27.4 million, an increase from $18.1 million at December 31, 2005. These balances represented stocks held by former members who were no longer members by virtue of being acquired by non-members. Such stock will be repaid when the stock is no longer required to support outstanding transactions with the FHLBNY.
During the first three months of 2006, one member was acquired by a non-member and capital stock of $13.9 million was reclassified to liability. In the same period, $4.6 million of stock in excess of collateral requirements was repaid in line with maturing advances held by former members. In accordance with Finance Board regulations non-members cannot renew their advance borrowings at maturity.
The FHLBNY expects $9.5 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 to non-members.

Derivative Instruments
Derivative instruments are important tools that the Bank uses 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 extent, 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. Interest income and interest expense from interest rate swaps used for hedging are recorded along 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 March 31, 2006, the notional amount of derivatives outstanding was $77.4 billion, up from $73.3 billion at December 31, 2005, and were primarily .attributable to increased members’ use of putable advances, and increased issuance of callable consolidated obligations bonds. Greater volume of callable debt and putable advances required increase in derivatives to hedge associated interest rate risk.
Estimated market value of derivative contracts in a gain position, which represented the FHLBNY’s exposure at March 31, 2006, totaled $83.9 million, compared to $19.2 million at December 31, 2005. 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 $13.8 million and $7.3 million at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. Estimated market value of derivative liabilities, representing unrealized derivatives loss positions, which represented the net exposure of swap counterparties aggregated $282.3 million and $491.9 million at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. In accordance with collateral agreements with swap counterparties, the FHLBNY had pledged cash collateral of $93.1 million and $244.8 million at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 to mitigate the exposure of the derivative counterparties to the FHLBNY.

AHP 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. If the FHLBNY incurs a loss for the year, no assessment or assessment credit is due or accrued.
For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Affordable Housing Program assessment totaled $7.0 million,as compared to $6.7 million for the comparable period in 2005. Because the Affordable Housing Program contribution is calculated as a percentage of net income, changes in Affordable Housing Program expense reflect changes in FHLBNY net income.

Asset Quality
The FHLBNY’s credit risk from advances at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were concentrated in commercial banks and savings institutions. All advances were fully collateralized. 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-portfolio
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 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. 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. There were 47 and 41 securities in a temporarily impaired condition for 12-months or longer at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, representing 21.8% and 21.0% of MBS securities in terms of the numbers of securities. In terms of the book value outstanding at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the percentage was 29.9% and 29.7%, or $2.7 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively.
Note 2 to the unaudited financial statements summarizes held-to-maturity securities with fair values below their amortized cost, i.e., in an unrealized loss position, as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
The FHLBNY has both the intent and financial ability to hold the temporarily impaired securities to anticipated 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 any insurance provisions of the security, that unrealized losses in the analysis represent temporary impairment at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

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, and policies developed by the FHLBNY management and approved by the FHLBNY’s Board of Directors.
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.

March 31, 2006
    1,378       45,001       43,623  
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.

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.

Leverage and unpledged asset to debt requirements
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.

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 maintain its duration, or interest rate sensitivity, of equity within a range of +/- five years. The FHLBNY uses option adjusted duration measurements to detail the sensitivity of equity market value and includes all financial instruments, including hedges. 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 +/- seven at March 31, 2006. Management actively monitors and evaluates the effects of interest rate and market risk on earnings and on the market value of equity. The shock levels are chosen in accordance with internal policy and regulatory requirements to estimate the effects of significant interest rate changes on the FHLBNY’s market value.
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.
Over the three-month period from December 31, 2005 to March 31, 2006, duration of equity increased from 0.98 years to 1.16 years, indicating higher sensitivity to changes in interest rates and that the Bank’s risk level remains within the limits of +5 years to –5 years. The rise in duration is considered minor. As of March 31, 2006, the cumulative one-year gap between assets and liabilities was $3.1 billion, down $537 million from December 2005.
During the period December 31, 2005 to March 31, 2006, the FHLBNY’s market risk profile changed as summarized in Duration of Equity tables in subsequent sections of “Market Risk Management”. They illustrate that the FHLBNY has remained within its policy and regulatory requirements during the period.
The FHLBNY’s funding consists of a combination of short- and long-term debt instruments which do not necessarily have matching interest rate sensitivities with the FHLBNY’s investments. To more closely match the sensitivity, the FHLBNY uses derivative instruments to adjust the effective maturities, repricing frequencies, or option characteristics of the debt 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 investment being funded.

More information with respect to derivatives and hedging activities is available in Note 8 to annual financial statements included in Form10-K.
Because a significant portion (about 12.4%) of the FHLBNY’s balance sheet as of March 31, 2006 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 re-price 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 behavior 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

Table of Contents

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.
Net Interest Income at Risk. During the one year period, there were no substantive changes to the FHLBNY’s modelling processes. As of March 31, 2006, the FHLBNY’s one-year net interest income from spread at risk measures were 5.07% and –9.84% compared to 4.29% and –2.93% on December 31, 2005 under the 200 basis-point up and down shocks. These figures are calculated from the perspective of an ongoing business and are, therefore, based on certain assumptions regarding the probable evolution of the FHLBNY’s main line of business, advances, and its cost of funds. 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 at March 31, 2006 and at the end of 2005. The FHLBNY monitors its repricing gaps primarily to limit the variability of net interest income.
