Background

The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY” or “the Bank”) is a federally chartered corporation, and 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 FHLBNY’s defined geographic district is New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Tax Status

The FHLBanks, including the FHLBNY, are exempt from ordinary federal, state, and local taxation except for real property taxes.

Assessments

Affordable Housing Program (“AHP”) Assessments. — Each FHLBank, including the FHLBNY, 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 12 FHLBanks must set aside the greater of $100 million or 10 percent of their regulatory defined net income for the Affordable Housing Program.  For more information about the AHP, see the FHLBNY’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2013.

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 reported periods.  Although management believes these judgments, estimates and assumptions to be appropriate, actual results may differ.  The information contained in these financial statements is unaudited.  In the opinion of management, normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period results have been made.  These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the FHLBNY’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2013.

During the period ended December 31, 2012, the FHLBNY changed its presentation of the amortization of fair value hedge basis adjustments of modified advances.  From time to time, the FHLBNY will enter into an agreement with a member to modify the terms of an existing advance.  If the FHLBNY determines the modification is minor, the subsequent advance is considered a modification of the original advance.  If the modified advance is also hedged under a qualifying fair value hedge, the fair value basis adjustment at the modification date will be amortized over the life of the modified advance on a level-yield basis even if the modified advance was designated after modification in a fair value hedge relationship.  Prior to the change, the FHLBNY had previously made an accounting policy election to present the amortization of the hedge basis adjustment as a component of Interest income from advances.  Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2012, the FHLBNY began presenting the amortization of fair value basis of the modified hedged advance in Other income (loss) as a Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities.  The change in presentation is preferable as the Interest income from advances would not be impacted by the amortization if the advance is continuously hedged, and the total Interest income and Net interest income would more closely reflect the economics of the FHLBNY’s interest margin.  The preferability of one acceptable method of accounting over another for hedge adjustments to an hedged item, which continues to be hedged when simultaneously dedesignated from one hedge relationship and redesignated into another hedge relationship, has not been addressed in any authoritative accounting literature.  The FHLBNY reclassified the appropriate line items in the Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, which reflects an increase in reported Interest income from Advances within Net interest income by $30.1 million and $88.3 million and corresponding decreases in Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) from derivatives and hedging activities in Other income (loss).  The change in presentation had no impact on Net income for any periods in this report since the change impacted only the presentation of the amortization of the hedge basis adjustment.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

The FHLBNY has identified certain accounting policies that it believes are significant 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 by using different assumptions.  These policies include estimating the allowance for credit losses on the advance and mortgage loan portfolios, evaluating the impairment of the Bank’s securities portfolios, and estimating fair values of certain assets and liabilities.  There have been no significant changes to accounting policies from those identified in Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates in Notes to the Financial Statements in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2013, which contains a summary of the Bank’s significant accounting policies and estimates.

Recently Adopted Significant Accounting Policies

Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. — In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.  The ASU requires new footnote disclosures of items reclassified from accumulated OCI to net income.  The requirements became effective in the first quarter of 2013.  For the FHLBNY, the expanded disclosures include reclassifications from AOCI for previously recorded non-credit losses due to OTTI, realized gains and losses due to cash flow hedges, gains and losses due to changes in assumptions of supplemental pension and postretirement benefit plans, and reclassifications of gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.  The application of this guidance resulted in expanded disclosures and had no impact on the FHLBNY’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.  See Note 13.  Total Comprehensive Income.

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. — In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210):  Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.  The standard requires enhanced disclosures about certain financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset in the balance sheet (presented on a net basis) or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar arrangement.  In January 2013, the FASB clarified that the scope of this guidance is limited to derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions.

The new disclosures requirements should enhance comparability between those companies that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).  On adoption, this guidance will require the FHLBNY to disclose both gross and net information about certain financial instruments and derivative instruments, which are either offset on the statement of condition or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement.  This guidance became effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2013 and was applied retrospectively for all comparative periods presented.  The application of this guidance resulted in additional disclosures and had no impact on the FHLBNY’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.  See Note 16.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Note   2.Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

Joint and Several Liability Arrangements.  In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405):  Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date.  This guidance requires an entity to measure these obligations as the sum of (1) the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and (2) any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors.  In addition, this guidance requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations.  This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and should be applied retrospectively for obligations with joint and several liabilities existing at the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year of adoption.

The FHLBanks issue Consolidated Obligation debt for which each FHLBank, including the FHLBNY, is jointly and severally liable.  If a FHLBank defaulted on its payment, the non-defaulting FHLBanks may be required to make a payment on behalf of the defaulting FHLBank.  The amount of the payment would be based on the allocation determined by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) under its regulatory authority.  When a Consolidated obligation debt is issued, a FHLBank records a liability for its direct obligation.  No FHLBank receives a fee for assuming its joint and several liability.  Historically, the FHLBanks have accounted for its joint and several liability using the accounting guidance for a related-party guarantee, and each FHLBank discloses its obligation of Consolidated obligations (other than Consolidated obligation Discount Notes with a maturity of one year or less) for which it is the primary obligor in a Form 8-K filing.  In each periodic filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the FHLBanks also disclose their joint and several obligations.  The FHLBanks record their liability for debt issuances for which it is the direct obligor, and no amounts are recorded for the joint and several obligations.

Upon adoption of ASU No. 2013-04 on January 1, 2014, the FHLBanks will continue to recognize the Consolidated obligations for which it is the direct obligor as a liability, and will recognize $0 as the amount it expects to pay on behalf of the other FHLBanks, unless a default occurs and the FHFA mandates an allocation of a shortfall.  Adoption of ASU No. 2013-04 will have no impact on the FHLBNY’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

See Note 10. Consolidated Obligations, and Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies for disclosures specific to the FHLBNY’s joint and several obligations.

Framework For Adversely Classifying Loans, Other Real Estate Owned, and Other Assets and Listing Assets for Special Mention.  On April 9, 2012, the FHFA, the FHLBank’s regulator, issued Advisory Bulletin 2012-02 (“Advisory Bulletin”) that establishes adverse classification, identification of Special Mention assets and off-balance sheet credit exposures.  The guidance is expected to be applied prospectively, and was effective at issuance.  However, the FHFA issued additional guidance that extends the effective date of the classification guidelines in the Advisory Bulletin to January 1, 2014.

The guidance also prescribes the timing of asset charge-offs if an asset is at 180 days or more past due, subject to certain conditions.  The FHFA has extended the effective date of the charge-off guidelines to January 1, 2015.

The FHLBNY is continuing to review the guidance, and its preliminary conclusion is that adoption of the Advisory Bulletin would change the FHLBNY’s existing charge-off policy, but would not impact the Bank’s credit classification practices or the credit loss measurement methodologies in any significant manner.  Under existing policies, the FHLBNY records a charge-off on MPF loans based upon the occurrence of a confirming event, which is typically the occurrence of an in-substance foreclosure (which occurs when the PFI takes physical possession of real estate without having to go through formal foreclosure procedures) or actual foreclosure.  Adoption of the Advisory Bulletin may accelerate the timing of charge-offs, and the FHLBNY is reviewing the operational aspects of implementing the guidance.  The FHLBNY’s current practice is to record credit loss allowance on a loan level basis on all MPF loans delinquent 90 days or more (for loans in bankruptcy status, an allowance is recorded regardless of delinquency status), and to measure the allowance based on the shortfall of the value of collateral (less estimated selling costs) to the recorded investment in the impaired loan.  Therefore, the FHLBNY does not expect an acceleration of the charge-offs to have a material impact on the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Note   3.Cash and Due from Banks.

Cash on hand, cash items in the process of collection, and amounts due from correspondent banks and the Federal Reserve Banks are included in Cash and due from banks.

Pass-through Deposit Reserves

The FHLBNY acts as a pass-through correspondent for member institutions required to deposit reserves with the Federal Reserve Banks.  Pass-through reserves deposited with Federal Reserve Banks were $93.0 million and $85.1 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The FHLBNY includes member reserve balances in Other liabilities in the Statements of Condition.

Cash Collateral Pledged to Derivative Counterparties

The FHLBNY executes derivatives with major swap dealers and financial institutions (“derivative counterparties” or “counterparties”), and enters into bilateral collateral agreements.  Beginning June 10, 2013, certain of the FHLBNY’s derivatives are cleared and settled through one or several Derivative Clearing Organizations (“DCO”) as mandated under the Dodd-Frank Act.  The FHLBNY considers the DCO as a derivative counterparty.  For both bilaterally executed derivatives and derivatives cleared through a DCO, when derivative counterparties are exposed, the FHLBNY would post cash as pledged collateral to mitigate the counterparty’s credit exposure.

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the FHLBNY had deposited $1.7 billion and $2.5 billion with counterparties and these amounts earned interest generally at the overnight Federal funds rate.  The cash posted was recorded as a deduction to Derivative liabilities, as provided under master netting agreements or under a legal netting opinion.  Excess cash posted was classified as a Derivative asset.

See Credit Risk due to nonperformance by counterparties in Note 16. Derivatives and Hedging activities.

Note   4.Federal Funds Sold and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell.

Federal funds sold — Federal funds sold were unsecured overnight advances to financial institution counterparties.  At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, amounts outstanding were $4.9 billion and $4.1 billion.  The daily average Federal funds sold in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $14.9 billion and $13.9 billion.  The daily averages in the comparable periods in 2012 were $12.2 billion and $11.6 billion.  In the 12 months ended December 31, 2012, the daily average was $11.4 billion.

Securities purchased under agreements to resell — As part of the FHLBNY’s banking activities, the FHLBNY may enter into secured financing transactions that mature overnight, and can be extended only at the discretion of the FHLBNY.   These transactions involve the lending of cash, against which marketable securities are taken as collateral.   The amount of cash loaned against the securities collateral is a function of the liquidity and quality of the collateral.   The collateral is typically in the form of highly-rated marketable securities, and the FHLBNY has the ability to call for additional collateral if the value of the securities falls below a pre-defined haircut.   The FHLBNY can terminate the transaction and liquidate the collateral if the counterparty fails to post the additional margin.  Under these agreements, the FHLBNY would not have the right to repledge the securities received.   Securities purchased under agreements to resell (reverse repos) generally do not constitute a sale for accounting purposes of the underlying securities and so are treated as collateralized financing transactions.  There were no balances outstanding at September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.   Transaction balances averaged $106.5 million and $35.8 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and $42.1 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2012.

The impact to Net interest income from securities purchased under agreements to resell was not significant in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and was included in Interest income from Federal funds sold in the Statements of Income.

(a)	Unrecognized gross holding gains and losses represent the difference between fair value and carrying value of a held-to-maturity security. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the FHLBNY had pledged MBS with an amortized cost basis of $2.0 million and $2.8 million to the FDIC in connection with deposits maintained by the FDIC at the FHLBNY.
(b)	The amounts represent private-label mortgage- and asset-backed securities.
(c)	Amortized cost — Bonds collateralized by manufactured housing are insured by Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. (“AGM”); they totaled $117.3 million and $132.6 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Asset-backed securities (supported by home equity loans) insured by AGM were $66.5 million and $69.8 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Asset-backed securities (supported by home equity loans) insured by Ambac and MBIA, together, were $117.5 million and $134.7 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Based on analysis performed, the FHLBNY has determined that for bond insurer AGM, insurance guarantees can be relied upon to cover any projected shortfalls. The reliance period for MBIA has been extended from 3 months to a 12 month horizon (to September 30, 2014) due to recent legal settlements and an improvement in the company’s liquidity since the second quarter of 2013. For bond insurer Ambac, the reliance period is probable until December 31, 2013.

Unrealized Losses

The fair values and gross unrealized holding losses are aggregated by major security type and by the length of time individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position.  Unrealized losses represent the difference between fair value and amortized cost.  The baseline measure of unrealized loss is amortized cost, which is not adjusted for non-credit OTTI.  Total unrealized losses in this table will not equal unrecognized losses by Major security type disclosed in the previous table.  Unrealized losses are calculated after adjusting for credit OTTI.  In the previous table, unrecognized losses are adjusted for credit and non-credit OTTI.  The following tables summarize held-to-maturity securities with fair values below their amortized cost basis (in thousands):

Investments in housing finance agency obligations had gross unrealized losses totaling $55.4 million and $56.0 million for continuous periods of 12 months or longer at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  Management has analyzed the fair values of the bonds, and has concluded that the gross unrealized losses were due to an illiquid market for such securities, causing these investments to be valued at a discount to their acquisition cost.  Management has also reviewed the portfolio and has observed that the bonds are performing to their contractual terms, and has concluded that, as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, all of the gross unrealized losses on its housing finance agency bonds are temporary because the underlying collateral and credit enhancements were sufficient to protect the Bank from losses based on current expectations.  As a result, the Bank expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.  If conditions in the housing and mortgage markets and general business and economic conditions remain stressed or deteriorate further, the fair value of the bonds may decline further and the Bank may experience OTTI in future periods.

Impairment Analysis (OTTI) of GSE-issued and Private Label Mortgage-backed Securities

The FHLBNY evaluates its individual securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and U.S. government agency by considering the creditworthiness and performance of the debt securities and the strength of the GSE’s guarantees of the securities.  Based on analysis, GSE- and agency-issued securities are performing in accordance with their contractual agreements.  The FHLBNY believes that it will recover its investments in GSE- and agency-issued securities given the current levels of collateral, credit enhancements and guarantees that exist to protect the investments.  Management evaluates its investments in private-label MBS (“PLMBS”) for OTTI on a quarterly basis by analyzing cash flows on 100 percent of PLMBS.  All PLMBS were designated as held-to-maturity.  For more information about cash flow impairment assessment methodology, see Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates in the most recent Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2013.

Monoline insurance — Certain PLMBS owned by the FHLBNY are insured by third-party bond insurers (“monoline insurers”).  The bond insurance on these investments guarantees the timely payments of principal and interest if these payments cannot be satisfied from the cash flows of the underlying mortgage pool.  The FHLBNY performs cash flow credit impairment tests on all of its private-label insured securities, and the analysis of the MBS protected by such third-party insurance looks first to the performance of the underlying security, and considers its embedded credit enhancements in the form of excess spread, overcollateralization, and credit subordination, to determine the collectability of all amounts due.  If the embedded credit enhancement protections are deemed insufficient to make timely payment of all amounts due, then the FHLBNY considers the capacity of the third-party bond insurer to cover any shortfalls.  Certain monoline insurers have been subject to adverse ratings, rating downgrades, and weakening financial performance measures.  In estimating the insurers’ capacity to provide credit protection in the future to cover any shortfall in cash flows expected to be collected for securities deemed to be OTTI, the FHLBNY has developed a methodology to analyze and assess the ability of the monoline insurers to meet future insurance obligations.  Based on analysis performed, the Bank has determined that for bond insurer Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp., insurance guarantees can be relied upon to cover projected shortfalls.  The reliance period for MBIA has been extended from a 3 month to a 12 month horizon (to September 30, 2014) due to recent legal settlements and an improvement in the company’s liquidity since the second quarter of 2013.  For bond insurer Ambac, the reliance period is probable until December 31, 2013.

No credit OTTI was recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The table below presents the key characteristics of securities determined to be OTTI in the three months ended September 30, 2012, and cumulative OTTI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 (in thousands):

(a)Unpaid principal balances and fair values on securities deemed to be OTTI at September 30, 2012.

(b)Represent OTTI recorded at the quarter end date.  If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected (discounted at the security’s initial effective yield) is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, an OTTI is considered to have occurred because the entire amortized cost basis of the security will not be recovered.  The credit-related OTTI is recognized in earnings.  The non-credit portion of OTTI, which represents fair value losses of OTTI securities (excluding the amount of credit losses), is recognized in AOCI. Positive non-credit losses represent the net amount of non-credit losses reclassified from AOCI to increase the carrying value of securities previously deemed OTTI.

(c)HEL Subprime securities are supported by home equity loans.

(d)Securities deemed to be OTTI at the quarter end date(s) had been previously determined to be OTTI, and the additional impairment, or re-impairment, was due to further deterioration in the credit performance metrics of the securities.

The following table provides roll-forward information about the cumulative credit component of OTTI recognized as a charge to earnings (in thousands):

(a)The Bank has a grantor trust to fund current and future payments for its employee supplemental pension plan.  Investments in the trust are classified as AFS.  The grantor trust invests in money market, equity and fixed income and bond funds.  Daily net asset values are readily available and investments are redeemable at short notice.  Realized gains and losses from investments in the funds were not significant.

Unrealized Losses

Tables reporting unrealized losses have been omitted as there were de minimis unrealized losses at September 30, 2013, and no unrealized losses at December 31, 2012.

Impairment Analysis (OTTI) of AFS Securities

The Bank’s portfolio of MBS classified as AFS is comprised primarily of GSE-issued collateralized mortgage obligations, which are “pass through” securities.  The FHLBNY evaluates its individual securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and a U.S. agency by considering the creditworthiness and performance of the debt securities and the strength of the government-sponsored enterprises’ guarantees of the securities.  Based on the analysis, GSE-issued securities are performing in accordance with their contractual agreements.  The FHLBNY believes that it will

16

recover its investments in GSE-issued securities given the current levels of collateral, credit enhancements and guarantees that exist to protect the investments.

Redemption Terms

Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment fees.  The amortized cost and estimated fair values (a) of investments classified as AFS, by contractual maturity, were as follows (in thousands):

Monitoring and Evaluating Credit Losses on Advances — Summarized below are the FHLBNY’s assessment methodologies for evaluating credit losses on advances.

The FHLBNY closely monitors the creditworthiness of the institutions to which it lends.  The FHLBNY also closely monitors the quality and value of the assets that are pledged as collateral by its members.  The FHLBNY’s members are required to pledge collateral to secure advances.  Eligible collateral includes: (1) one-to-four-family and multi-family mortgages; (2) U.S. Treasury and government-agency securities; (3) mortgage-backed securities; and (4) certain other collateral which is real estate related and has a readily ascertainable value, and in which the FHLBNY can perfect a security interest.  The FHLBNY has the right to take such steps, as it deems necessary to protect its secured position on outstanding advances, including requiring additional collateral (whether or not such additional collateral would otherwise be eligible to secure a loan; this provision would benefit the FHLBNY in a scenario when a member defaults).  The FHLBNY also has a statutory lien under the FHLBank Act on members’ capital stock, which serves as further collateral for members’ indebtedness to the FHLBNY.

17

Credit Risk.  The Bank has policies and procedures in place to manage credit risk.  There were no past due advances and all advances were current for all periods in this report.  Management does not anticipate any credit losses, and accordingly, the Bank has not provided an allowance for credit losses on advances.  The Bank’s potential credit risk from advances is concentrated in commercial banks, savings institutions, and insurance companies.

Concentration of Advances Outstanding.  Advances to the FHLBNY’s top ten borrowing member institutions are reported in Note 20. Segment Information and Concentration.  The FHLBNY held sufficient collateral to cover the advances to all institutions and it does not expect to incur any credit losses.

Security Terms.  The FHLBNY lends to financial institutions involved in housing finance within its district.  Borrowing members pledge their capital stock of the FHLBNY as additional collateral for advances.  As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the FHLBNY had rights to collateral with an estimated value greater than outstanding advances.  Based upon the financial condition of the member, the FHLBNY:

(1)Allows a member to retain possession of the mortgage collateral pledged to the FHLBNY if the member executes a written security agreement, provides periodic listings and agrees to hold such collateral for the benefit of the FHLBNY; however, securities and cash collateral are always in physical possession; or

(2)Requires the member specifically to assign or place physical possession of such mortgage collateral with the FHLBNY or its custodial agent.

Beyond these provisions, Section 10(e) of the FHLBank Act affords any security interest granted by a member to the FHLBNY priority over the claims or rights of any other party.  The two exceptions are claims that would be entitled to priority under otherwise applicable law or perfected security interests.  All member obligations with the Bank were fully collateralized throughout their entire term.  The total of collateral pledged to the Bank includes excess collateral pledged above the Bank’s minimum collateral requirements.  However, a maximum lendable value is established to ensure that the Bank has sufficient eligible collateral securing credit extensions.  There have been no significant changes to collateral policies from those existing at December 31, 2012.  For more information about collateral ratios and location of collateral held, see Item 1. Business in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2013.

Note 8.Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio.

Mortgage loans were Mortgage Partnership Finance® program loans, or (“MPF”®).  The MPF program involves investment by the FHLBNY in mortgage loans that are purchased from its participating financial institutions (“PFIs”).  The members retain servicing rights and may credit enhance the portion of the loans participated to the FHLBNY.  No intermediary trust is involved.

The following table presents information on mortgage loans held-for-portfolio (dollars in thousands):

(a) Conventional mortgages represent the majority of mortgage loans held-for-portfolio, with the remainder invested in FHA and VA insured loans.

(b) Represents fair value basis of closed delivery commitments.

No loans were transferred to a “loan-for-sale” category.  From time to time, the Bank may request a PFI to repurchase loans if the loan failed to comply with the MPF loan standards.  Loans repurchased from PFIs in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $1.7 million and $7.7 million of loans; $1.4 million of such loans were repurchased in the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

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 this varies with the particular MPF product.  The amount of the first layer, or the First Loss Account (“FLA”), was estimated at $19.4 million and $18.4 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The FLA is not recorded or reported as a reserve for loan losses, as it serves as a memorandum or information account.  The FHLBNY is responsible for absorbing the first layer.  The second layer is that amount of credit obligations that the 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

18

residual risk.  Credit Enhancement fees accrued were $0.5 million and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, and $0.4 million and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.  These fees were reported as a reduction to mortgage loan interest income.

In terms of the credit enhancement waterfall, the MPF program structures potential credit losses on conventional MPF loans into layers on each loan pool as follows:

·The first layer of protection against loss is the liquidation value of the real property securing the loan.

·The next layer of protection comes from the primary mortgage insurance (“PMI”) that is required for loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80% at origination.

·Losses that exceed the liquidation value of the real property and any PMI, up to an agreed upon amount, the FLA for each Master Commitment, will be absorbed by the FHLBNY.

·Losses in excess of the FLA, up to an agreed-upon amount, the credit enhancement amount, will be covered by the PFI’s credit enhancement obligation.

·Losses in excess of the FLA and the PFI’s remaining credit enhancement for the Master Commitment, if any, will be absorbed by the FHLBNY.

Mortgage loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the FHLBNY will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage loan agreements.  The Bank performs periodic reviews of individual impaired mortgage loans within the MPF loan portfolio to identify the potential for losses inherent in the portfolio and to determine the likelihood of collection of the principal and interest.  Conventional mortgage loans that are past due 90 days or more, or classified under regulatory criteria (Sub-standard, Doubtful or Loss), and, beginning in the third quarter of 2012, loans that are in bankruptcy regardless of their delinquency status, are evaluated separately on a loan level basis for impairment.  The FHLBNY bases its provision for credit losses on its estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the impaired MPF loan.  The FHLBNY computes the provision for credit losses without considering the private mortgage insurance and other accompanying credit enhancement features, which provide additional credit assurance to the FHLBNY.  Conventional mortgage loans, except FHA- and VA-insured loans, are analyzed under liquidation scenarios on a loan level basis, and identified losses are fully reserved.  Management determines the liquidation value of the real property collateral supporting the impaired loan after deducting costs to liquidate.  That value is compared to the carrying value of the impaired mortgage loan, and a shortfall is recorded as an allowance for credit losses.  This methodology is applied on a loan level basis.  When a loan is foreclosed and the Bank takes possession of real estate, the Bank will charge any excess carrying value over the net realizable value of the foreclosed loan to the allowance for credit losses.

Only FHA- and VA-insured MPF loans are evaluated collectively.  FHA- and VA-insured mortgage loans have minimal inherent credit risk, and credit risk of such loans generally arises from servicers defaulting on their obligations.  If adversely classified, the FHLBNY will have reserves established only in the event of a default of a PFI, and reserves would be based on the estimated costs to recover any uninsured portion of the MPF loan.

Classes of the MPF loan portfolio would be subject to disaggregation to the extent that it is needed to understand the exposure to credit risk arising from these loans.  The FHLBNY has determined that no further disaggregation of portfolio segments is needed, other than the methodology discussed above.

Credit Enhancement Fees

The credit enhancement fee (“CE fees”) due to the PFI for taking on a credit enhancement obligation is accrued based on the master commitments outstanding, and for certain MPF products the CE fees are held back for 12 months and then paid monthly to the PFIs.  Under the MPF agreements with PFIs, the FHLBNY may recover credit losses from future CE fees.  The FHLBNY does not consider CE fees when computing the allowance for credit losses.  It is assumed that repayment is expected to be provided solely by the sale of the underlying property, and that there is no other available and reliable source of repayment.  Any incurred losses that would be recovered from the credit enhancements are also not reserved as part of the allowance for credit loan losses.  In such cases, the FHLBNY would withhold CE fee payments to PFIs.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Allowances for credit losses have been recorded against the uninsured MPF loans.  All other types of mortgage loans were insignificant and no allowances were necessary.  The following provides a roll-forward analysis of the allowance for credit losses (a) (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,
	2013			2012			2013			2012
Allowance for credit losses:
Beginning balance	$	6,414		$	6,878		$	6,982		$	6,786
Charge-offs	(140		)	(228		)	(1,556		)	(930		)
Recoveries	203			36			846			171
Provision/(Reversal) for credit losses on mortgage loans	(151		)	234			54			893

							September 30, 2013			December 31, 2012
Recorded investment, end of period:
Individually evaluated for impairment
Impaired, with or without a related allowance (b)							$	30,619		$	31,596
Not impaired, no related allowance							1,804,690			1,754,852
Total uninsured mortgage loans							$	1,835,309		$	1,786,448
Collectively evaluated for impairment (c)
Impaired, with or without a related allowance							$	595		$	413
Not impaired, no related allowance							112,276			71,741
Total insured mortgage loans							$	112,871		$	72,154

(a) Allowance for credit losses has been stable, in line with declining nonperforming loans, which is consistent with the stability in housing prices/liquidation values of real property securing impaired loans.

(b) Loans considered impaired have remained almost unchanged as delinquency rates have stabilized.

(c) FHA- and VA loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.  Loans past due 90 days or more were considered for impairment but credit analysis indicated funds would be collected and no allowance was necessary.

Non-performing Loans

The FHLBNY’s impaired mortgage loans are reported in the table below (in thousands):

	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Total Mortgage loans, net of allowance for credit losses (a)	$	1,932,855	$	1,842,816
Non-performing mortgage loans - Conventional (b)	$	27,749	$	28,458
Insured MPF loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest (b)	$	577	$	410

(a) Includes loans classified as sub-standard, doubtful or loss under FHFA regulatory criteria, reported at carrying value.

(b) Data in this table represents unpaid principal balance, and would not agree to data reported in table below at “recorded investment,” which includes interest receivable.  Loans in bankruptcy status and past due 90 days or more (nonaccrual status) are included.

The following table summarizes the recorded investment in impaired loans, the unpaid principal balance, and related allowance (individually assessed for impairment), and the average recorded investment of impaired loans (in thousands):

Total Conventional MPF Loans (a)	$	31,596	$	31,641	$	6,982	$	29,566	$	—

(a) Based on analysis of the nature of risks of the Bank’s investments in MPF loans, including its methodologies for identifying and measuring impairment, the management of the FHLBNY has determined that presenting such loans as a single class is appropriate.

(b) Collateral values, net of estimated costs to sell, exceeded the recorded investments in impaired loans and no allowances were deemed necessary.

(c) The Bank does not record interest received as Interest income if an uninsured loan is past due 90 days or more.

Loans discharged from bankruptcy are classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”), and are measured for impairment if the loan is past due 90 days or more.  Loans currently in bankruptcy status, regardless of their delinquency status, are considered impaired and measured for impairment.  The allowance for credit losses in the table above includes allowances recorded for all impaired loans.  Prior to the third quarter of 2012, loans in bankruptcy were considered impaired if past due 90 days or more.

Mortgage Loans — Interest on Non-performing Loans

The FHLBNY’s interest contractually due and actually received for non-performing loans were as follows (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Interest contractually due (a)	$	425	$	482	$	1,222	$	1,444
Interest actually received	387		379		1,115		1,169
Shortfall	$	38	$	103	$	107	$	275

(a) The Bank does not accrue interest income on conventional loans past due 90 days or more.  If cash is received as settlement of interest on loans past due 90 days or more, it is considered as an advance from the PFI or the servicer and cash received is subject to reversal if the loan goes into foreclosure.  Cash received is recorded as a liability until the impaired loan is performing again.  The table summarizes interest income that was not recognized in earnings.  It also summarizes the actual cash that was received against interest due, but not recognized.

Recorded investments in MPF loans that were past due, and real estate owned are summarized below.  Recorded investments, which includes accrued interest receivable, would not equal carrying values reported elsewhere (dollars in thousands):

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) and MPF modification — As described more fully in Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates in the Bank’s most recent Form 10K filed on March 25, 2013, the MPF Program introduced a temporary modification plan that is available to PFIs.  MPF restructurings primarily involve modifying the borrower’s monthly payment for a period of up to 36 months, with a cap based on a ratio of the borrower’s housing expense to monthly income.  The outstanding principal balance is re-amortized to reflect a principal and interest payment for a term not to exceed 40 years.  This would result in a balloon payment at the original maturity date of the loan as the maturity date and number of remaining monthly payments is unchanged.  If the housing expense ratio is still not met, the interest rate is reduced for up to 36 months in 0.125% increments below the original loan rate, to a floor rate of 3.00%, resulting in reduced principal and interest payments until the target housing expense ratio is met.  No loans were modified in any periods in this report.  At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, outstanding balances of MPF loans include four loans that had been modified in 2011.  Due to the temporary nature of the modification provisions allowed under the MPF Plan (up to 36 months), loans modified are considered impaired only if they are past due 90 days or more or in bankruptcy.  One of the four modified loans was in bankruptcy status at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  Another loan was in foreclosure status at September 30, 2013.  The allowance for credit losses on those impaired loans were evaluated individually and insignificant amounts of credit losses were recorded at September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012.

Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2012, the FHLBNY includes MPF loans discharged from bankruptcy as TDRs, and $9.2 million of such loans were outstanding at September 30, 2013, and $8.8 million at December 31, 2012.  The FHLBNY has determined that the discharge of mortgage debt in bankruptcy is a concession as defined under existing accounting literature for TDRs.  A loan discharged from bankruptcy is assessed individually for credit impairment only if past due 90 days or more.  Of the $9.2 million of loans that were discharged from bankruptcy, $0.8 million were impaired because they were past due 90 days or more, and the recorded allowance for credit losses associated with those loans were not significant at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  Prior to the fourth quarter of 2012, the FHLBNY’s policy did not consider loans discharged from bankruptcy as TDR.

Forgiveness information that would be required under the disclosure standards for loans deemed TDR has been omitted as the MPF modification program limits loan terms that can be modified for up to 36 months, after which period the borrower is required to adhere to the original terms of the loan.  Other than being released from bankruptcy, the borrowers were not allowed any other concessions.

Note 10.Consolidated Obligations.

Consolidated obligations (or consolidated bonds; or consolidated discount notes) are the joint and several obligations of the FHLBanks, and consist of bonds and discount notes.  The FHLBanks issue consolidated obligations through the Office of Finance as their fiscal agent.  In connection with each debt issuance, a FHLBank specifies the amount of debt it wants issued on its behalf.  The Office of Finance tracks the amount of debt issued on behalf of each FHLBank.  Each FHLBank separately tracks and records as a liability for its specific portion of consolidated obligations for which it is the primary obligor.  Consolidated bonds are issued primarily to raise intermediate- and long-term funds for the FHLBanks and are not subject to any statutory or regulatory limits on maturity.  Consolidated discount notes are issued primarily to raise short-term funds.  Discount notes sell at less than their face amount and are redeemed at par value when they mature.

The Finance Agency, at its discretion, may require any FHLBank to make principal or interest payments due on any consolidated obligations.  Although it has never occurred, to the extent that a FHLBank would make a payment on a consolidated obligation on behalf of another FHLBank, the paying FHLBank would be entitled to reimbursement from the non-complying FHLBank.  However, if the Finance Agency determines that the non-complying FHLBank is unable to satisfy its obligations, then the Finance Agency may allocate the outstanding liability among the remaining FHLBanks on a pro rata basis in proportion to each FHLBank’s participation in all consolidated obligations outstanding, or on any other basis the Finance Agency may determine.  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 an obligation on behalf of other FHLBanks.  The par amounts of the FHLBanks’ outstanding consolidated obligations, including consolidated obligations held by other FHLBanks, were approximately $0.7 trillion as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Finance Agency 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 securities in which fiduciary and trust funds may invest under the laws of the state in which the FHLBank is located.  The FHLBNY met the qualifying unpledged asset requirements as follows:

	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Percentage of unpledged qualifying assets to consolidated obligations	108	%	109	%

Discount Notes

Consolidated obligation-discount notes are issued to raise short-term funds.  Discount notes are consolidated obligations with original maturities of up to one year.  These notes are issued at less than their face amount and redeemed at par when they mature.

The FHLBNY’s outstanding consolidated obligation-discount notes were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2013			December 31, 2012

Note 12.Capital Stock, Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock and Restricted Retained Earnings.

The FHLBanks, including the FHLBNY, have a 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.  A member’s stock requirement is generally based on its use of FHLBNY products, subject to a minimum membership requirement as prescribed by the FHLBank Act and the FHLBNY’s Capital Plan.  FHLBNY stock can be issued, exchanged, redeemed and repurchased only at its stated par value of $100 per share.  It is not publicly traded.  An option to redeem capital stock that is greater than a member’s minimum requirement is held by both the member and the FHLBNY.

The FHLBNY’s Capital Plan offers two sub-classes of Class B capital stock, Class B1 and Class B2.  Class B1 stock is issued to meet membership stock purchase requirements.  Class B2 stock is issued to meet activity-based stock requirements.  The FHLBNY requires member institutions to maintain Class B1 stock based on a percentage of the member’s mortgage-related assets and Class B2 stock based on a percentage of advances and acquired member assets, mainly MPF loans, outstanding with the FHLBank and certain commitments outstanding with the FHLBank.  Class B1 and Class B2 stockholders have the same voting rights and dividend rates.  Members can redeem Class B stock by giving five years notice.  The Bank’s capital plan does not provide for the issuance of Class A capital stock.

The FHLBNY is subject to risk-based capital rules.  Specifically, the FHLBNY is subject to three capital requirements under its capital plan.  First, the FHLBNY must maintain at all times permanent capital in an amount at least equal to the sum of its credit risk, market risk, and operations risk capital requirements as calculated in accordance with the FHLBNY policy, and rules and regulations of the Finance Agency.  Only permanent capital, defined as Class B stock and retained earnings, satisfies this risk-based capital requirement.  The Finance Agency may require the FHLBNY to maintain an amount of permanent capital greater than what is required by the risk-based capital requirements.  In addition, the FHLBNY is required to maintain at least a 4.0% total capital-to-asset ratio and at least a 5.0% 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 times divided by total assets.

The FHLBNY was in compliance with the aforementioned capital rules and requirements for all periods presented.  The FHLBNY met the “adequately capitalized” classification, which is the highest rating, under the capital rule.  However, the Finance Agency has discretion to reclassify a FHLBank and to modify or add to the corrective action requirements for a particular capital classification.  For more information about the capital rules under the Finance Agency regulations and a discussion of corrective actions, if any, see Note 12.

Risk-based Capital — The following table summarizes the Bank’s risk-based capital ratios (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2013						December 31, 2012
	Required (d)			Actual			Required (d)			Actual
Regulatory capital requirements:
Risk-based capital (a) (e)	$	632,097		$	6,469,647		$	489,133		$	5,714,352
Total capital-to-asset ratio	4.00		%	5.33		%	4.00		%	5.55		%
Total capital (b)	$	4,855,446		$	6,469,647		$	4,119,552		$	5,714,352

Leverage capital (c)	$	6,069,307		$	9,704,471		$	5,149,440		$	8,571,529

(a)Actual “Risk-based capital” is capital stock and retained earnings plus mandatorily redeemable capital stock. Section 932.2 of the Finance Agency’s regulations also refers to this amount as “Permanent Capital.”

(b)Required “Total capital” is 4.0% of total assets.

(c)Actual “Leverage capital” is actual Risk-based capital times 1.5.

(d)Required minimum.

(e)Under regulatory guidelines issued by the Finance Agency concurrently with the rating action in 2011 by S&P lowered the rating of long-term securities issued by the U.S. government, federal agencies, and other entities, including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the FHLBanks from AAA to AA+ with regard to this action, consistent with guidance provided by the banking regulators with respect to capital rules, the Finance Agency provided guidance to not change the risk weights for Treasury securities and other securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, government agencies, and government-sponsored entities for purposes of calculating risk-based capital.

Restricted Retained Earnings

The FHLBNY allocates 20% of its net income to a separate restricted retained earnings account, which has grown to $139.5 million at September 30, 2013, up from $96.2 million at December 31, 2012.  The 12 FHLBanks have a Joint Capital Enhancement Agreement (“Capital Agreement”) that requires each FHLBank to contribute 20% of its Net income each quarter to a restricted retained earnings account until the balance of that account equals at least one percent of that FHLBank’s average balance of outstanding consolidated obligations for the previous quarter.  These restricted retained earnings will not be available to pay dividends.  For more information about the Capital Agreement, see Note 12.  Capital Stock, Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock and Restricted Retained Earnings, in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2013.

Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock

Generally, the FHLBNY’s capital stock is redeemable at the option of either the member or the FHLBNY subject to certain conditions, including the provisions under the accounting guidance for certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  In accordance with the accounting guidance, the FHLBNY generally reclassifies the stock subject to redemption from equity to a liability once a member irrevocably exercises a written redemption right, gives notice of intent to withdraw from membership, or attains non-member status by merger or acquisition, charter termination, or involuntary termination from membership.  Under such circumstances, the member shares will then meet the definition of a mandatorily redeemable financial instrument and are reclassified to a liability at fair value.

Anticipated redemptions of mandatorily redeemable capital stock in the following table assume the FHLBNY will follow its current practice of daily redemption of capital in excess of the amount required to support advances and MPF loans (in thousands):

	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Redemption less than one year	$	4,081	$	2,582
Redemption from one year to less than three years	226		698
Redemption from three years to less than five years	16,528		5,210
Redemption from five years or greater	2,783		14,653
Total	$	23,618	$	23,143

The following table provides roll-forward information with respect to changes in mandatorily redeemable capital stock liabilities (in thousands):

(a)Redemption includes repayment of excess stock.

(b)The annualized accrual rates were 4.00% for September 30, 2013 and 4.50% for September 30, 2012 on mandatorily redeemable capital stock.

Voluntary and Involuntary Withdrawal and Changes in Membership — Changes in membership due to mergers were not significant in any periods in this report.  When a member is acquired by a non-member, the FHLBNY reclassifies stock of the member to a liability on the day the member’s charter is dissolved.  Under existing practice, the FHLBNY repurchases Class B2 capital stock held by former members if such stock is considered “excess” and is no longer required to support outstanding advances.  Class B1 membership stock held by former members is re-calculated and repurchased annually.

Note 15.Employee Retirement Plans.

The Bank participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (“Pentegra DB Plan”), a tax-qualified, defined-benefit multiemployer pension plan that covers all officers and employees of the Bank.  The Bank also participates in the Pentegra Defined Contribution Plan for Financial Institutions, a tax-qualified defined contribution plan.  In addition, the Bank maintains a Benefit Equalization Plan (“BEP”) that restores defined benefits for those employees who have had their qualified defined benefits limited by IRS regulations.  The BEP is an unfunded plan.  The Bank also offers a Retiree Medical Benefit Plan, which is a postretirement health benefit plan.  There are no funded plan assets that have been designated to provide postretirement health benefits.

Retirement Plan Expenses — Summary

The following table presents employee retirement plan expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the same periods in 2012 (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Defined Benefit Plan (a)	$	189	$	175	$	567	$	1,485
Benefit Equalization Plan (defined benefit)	989		908		2,967		2,725
Defined Contribution Plan	387		379		1,176		1,144
Postretirement Health Benefit Plan	383		372		1,151		1,119
Total retirement plan expenses	$	1,948	$	1,834	$	5,861	$	6,473

(a)In July 2012, Congress enacted a bill under the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2012 — Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (“MAP-21”), which includes pension plan provisions intended to ease the negative effect of historically low interest rates. Previously, a plan sponsor could elect to calculate future pension obligations based on either the “yield curve” of corporate investment-grade bonds for the preceding month, or three “segment rates” that are drawn from the average yield curves over the most recent 24-month period. The primary change under the relief bill is to allow calculation of discount rates based over a 25 year period — a much longer period than the two-year period previously used to determine segment rates. The FHLBNY’s Defined Benefit Plan participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan pension, which has adopted the relief provisions noted above, and adoption resulted in a significant reduction in plan expenses.  The FHLBNY paid in $0.7 million for the plan period July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013. The amount recorded represents the minimum amount payable under the relief provided by MAP-21.  For the plan year ended June 30, 2014, the pension expense was accrued at an annual rate of $0.7 million.  The Pentegra DB Plan operates with a fiscal year that ends on June 30, and pension plan expenses paid are prorated and recorded over the FHLBNY’s calendar year.

Note 16.Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

General — The FHLBNY may enter into interest-rate swaps, swaptions, and interest-rate cap and floor agreements to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates.  The FHLBNY may also use callable swaps to potentially adjust the effective maturity, repricing frequency, or option characteristics of financial instruments to achieve risk management objectives.  The FHLBNY, consistent with the Finance Agency’s regulations, enters into derivatives to manage the market risk exposures inherent in otherwise unhedged assets and funding positions.  The FHLBNY is not a derivatives dealer and does not trade derivatives for short-term profit.  The FHLBNY uses derivatives in three ways:  by designating them as a fair value or cash flow hedge of an underlying financial instrument or a forecasted transaction that qualifies for hedge accounting treatment; by acting as an intermediary; or by designating the derivative as an asset-liability management hedge (i.e., an “economic hedge”).  The FHLBNY may execute an interest rate swap to match the terms of an asset or liability that is elected under the FVO, and the swap is also considered as an economic hedge that is designed to mitigate the volatility of the FVO designated asset or liability due to change in the full fair value of the designated asset or liability.  The FHLBNY uses derivatives in its overall interest-rate risk management to adjust the interest-rate sensitivity of consolidated obligations to approximate more closely the interest-rate sensitivity of assets (both advances and investments), and/or to adjust the interest-rate sensitivity of advances, investments or mortgage loans to approximate more closely the interest-rate sensitivity of liabilities.  In addition to using derivatives to manage mismatches of interest rates between assets and liabilities, the FHLBNY also uses derivatives - to manage embedded options in assets and liabilities; to hedge the market value of existing assets and liabilities and anticipated transactions; to hedge the duration risk of prepayable instruments; and to reduce funding costs where possible.

When the FHLBNY designates a derivative as an economic hedge, the choice represents the most cost effective manner of hedging a risk, and is after considering the operational costs and benefits of executing a hedge that would qualify for hedge accounting.  When entering into such non-qualified hedges, the FHLBNY recognizes only the change in fair value of these derivatives in Other income (loss) as a Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities with no offsetting fair value adjustments for the hedged asset, liability, or firm commitment.  As a result, an economic hedge introduces the potential for earnings variability.  Economic hedges are an acceptable hedging strategy under the FHLBNY’s risk management program, and the strategies comply with the Finance Agency’s regulatory requirements prohibiting speculative use of derivatives.

Types of Hedging Activities and Hedged Items

Consolidated Obligations — The FHLBNY manages the risk arising from changing market prices and volatility of a consolidated obligation by matching the cash inflows on the derivative with the cash outflow on the consolidated obligation.  While consolidated obligations are the joint and several obligations of the FHLBanks, one or more FHLBanks may individually serve as counterparties to derivative agreements associated with specific debt issues.  For instance, in a typical transaction, fixed-rate consolidated obligations are issued for one or more FHLBanks, and each of those FHLBanks could simultaneously enter into a matching derivative in which the counterparty pays to the FHLBank fixed cash flows designed to mirror in timing and amount the cash outflows the FHLBank pays on the consolidated obligations.  When such transactions qualify for hedge accounting, they are treated as fair value hedges under the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging.  The FHLBNY has also elected the FVO for certain consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes.  To mitigate the volatility resulting from changes in fair values of bonds and notes designated under the FVO, the Bank may execute interest rate swaps as economic hedges.

28

When the FHLBNY issues variable-rate consolidated obligations bonds indexed to 1-month LIBOR, the U.S. Prime rate, or Federal funds rate, it will simultaneously execute interest-rate swaps (“basis swaps”) to hedge the basis risk of the variable rate debt to 3-month LIBOR, the FHLBNY’s preferred funding base.  The basis swaps are designated as economic hedges of the floating-rate bonds because the FHLBNY deems that the operational cost of designating the hedges under accounting standards for derivatives and hedge accounting would outweigh the accounting benefits.

Advances — The Bank offers a wide array of advances structures to meet members’ funding needs.  These advances may have maturities up to 30 years with fixed or adjustable rates and may include early termination features or options.  The Bank may use derivatives to adjust the repricing and/or options characteristics of advances to more closely match the characteristics of the Bank’s funding liabilities.  In general, whenever a member executes a longer-term fixed rate advance, or a fixed or variable-rate advance with call or put or other embedded options, the Bank will simultaneously execute a derivative transaction with terms that offset the terms of the fixed rate advance, or terms of the advance with embedded options.  The combination of the fixed rate advance and the derivative transaction effectively creates a variable rate asset.  This type of hedge is treated as a fair value hedge.  With a putable advance borrowed by a member, the FHLBNY would purchase from the member a put option.  The FHLBNY may hedge a putable advance by entering into a cancelable interest rate swap in which the FHLBNY pays to the swap counterparty fixed-rate cash flows and receives variable-rate cash flows.  This type of hedge is also treated as a fair value hedge.  The swap counterparty can cancel the swap on the put date, which would normally occur in a rising rate environment, and the FHLBNY can terminate the advance and extend additional credit to the member on new terms.  The FHLBNY also offers callable advances to members, which is a fixed-rate advance borrowed by a member.  With the advance, the FHLBNY sells to the member a call option that enables the member to terminate the advance at pre-determined exercise dates.  The FHLBNY hedges such advances by executing interest rate swaps with cancellable option features that would allow the FHLBNY to terminate the swaps also at pre-determined option exercise dates.  The FHLBNY offers variable rate advances with an option that caps the interest rate payable by the borrower.  The FHLBNY would typically offset the risk presented by the embedded cap by executing a matching cap.

In the 2013 third quarter, the FHLBNY introduced the Fixed-rate advance with a LIBOR cap.  The coupon of the fixed-rate advance would float inversely with the increase in the 3-month LIBOR rate, at a multiple of 1 (not levered).  The coupon has a floor of zero.  The FHLBNY hedges the advance with an interest rate swap with identical terms, converting fixed-rate cash flows to a LIBOR indexed cash flows through the term to maturity.  The FHLBNY has reviewed and analyzed the terms of the cap and floor and the inverse payout, and has concluded that the advance does not meet the bifurcation tests under hedge accounting standards, specifically ASC 815-15 and ASC 815-10-25.  Accordingly, it was not necessary to bifurcate and account for the options separately.

An embedded derivative shall be separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative instrument pursuant to Subtopic 815-10 if and only if all of the following criteria are met:

·The economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract.

·The hybrid instrument is not remeasured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur.

·A separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would, pursuant to Section 815-10-15, be a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of this Subtopic. The initial net investment for the hybrid instrument shall not be considered to be the initial net investment for the embedded derivative.

Mortgage Loans — The Bank’s investment portfolio includes fixed rate mortgage loans.  The FHLBNY manages the interest rate and prepayment risk associated with mortgages through debt issuance.  Firm commitments to purchase or “delivery commitments” are considered derivatives.  Also see “Firm Commitment Strategies” described below.

Firm Commitment Strategies — Mortgage delivery commitments are considered derivatives under the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging.  The FHLBNY accounts for them as freestanding derivatives, and records the fair values of mortgage loan delivery commitments on the balance sheet with an offset to Other income as a Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities.  Fair values were not significant for all periods in this report.  The FHLBNY may also hedge a firm commitment for a forward starting advance with an interest-rate swap.  In this case, the swap will function as the hedging instrument for both the firm commitment and the subsequent advance.  The fair value adjustments associated with the firm commitment will be added to the basis of the advance at the time the commitment is terminated and the advance is issued.  If a hedged firm commitment no longer qualified as a fair value hedge, the hedge would be terminated and net gains and losses would be recognized in current period earnings.  There were no material amounts of gains and losses recognized due to disqualification of firm commitment hedges in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Forward Settlements — There were no forward settled securities at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 that would settle outside the shortest period of time for the settlement of such securities.  When the FHLBNY purchases a security that forward settles within the shortest period of time for the settlement of such a security, the Bank records the purchase on trade date.  When a security forward settles outside the shortest period of time, a derivative is recorded in addition to the purchased security.

Cash Flow Hedges of Anticipated Consolidated Bond Issuance — The FHLBNY enters into interest-rate swaps on the anticipated issuance of debt to “lock in” the interest to be paid for the cost of funding.  The swap is terminated upon issuance of the debt instrument, and amounts recorded in AOCI are reclassified to earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the variability of the cash flows of the debt that was issued.

29

Cash Flow Hedges of Rolling Issuance of Discount Notes — The FHLBNY hedges the rolling issuance of discount notes as a cash flow hedge.  In these hedges, the Bank enters into derivative transactions with unrelated swap dealers and designates the swaps as hedges of the variable quarterly interest payments on the discount note borrowing program.  In this program, the Bank issues a series of discount notes with 91-day terms over periods, that are generally up to 15 years.  The FHLBNY will continue issuing new 91-day discount notes over the terms of the swaps as each outstanding discount note matures.  The interest rate swaps require a settlement every 91 days, and the variable rate, which is based on the 3-month LIBOR, is reset immediately following each payment.  The swaps are expected to eliminate the risk of variability of cash flows for each forecasted discount note issuance every 91 days.  The FHLBNY documents at hedge origination, and on an ongoing basis, that the forecasted issuances of discount notes are probable.  The FHLBNY performs a prospective hedge effectiveness analysis at inception of the hedges, and also performs an ongoing retrospective hedge effectiveness analysis at least every quarter to provide assurance that the hedges will remain highly effective.  The fair values of the interest rate swaps are recorded in AOCI and ineffectiveness, if any, is measured using the “hypothetical derivative method” and recorded in earnings.  The effective portion remains in AOCI.  The Bank monitors the credit standing of the derivative counterparty each quarter.

Intermediation — To meet the hedging needs of its members, the FHLBNY acts as an intermediary between the members and the other counterparties.  This intermediation allows smaller members access to the derivatives market.  The derivatives used in intermediary activities do not qualify for hedge accounting, and are separately marked-to-market through earnings.  The net impact of the accounting for these derivatives does not significantly affect the operating results of the FHLBNY.  The notional principal of interest rate swaps outstanding at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, in which the FHLBNY was an intermediary, was $205.0 million and $265.0 million, with offsetting purchased positions from unrelated swap dealers.  Fair values of the swaps sold to members net of the fair values of swaps purchased from derivative counterparties were not material at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  Collateral with respect to derivatives with member institutions includes collateral assigned to the FHLBNY as evidenced by a written security agreement and held by the member institution for the benefit of the FHLBNY.

Economic Hedges

Economic hedges comprised primarily of:  (1) short- and medium-term interest rate swaps that hedged the basis risk (primarily the Federal funds rate, and the 1-month LIBOR index) of variable-rate bonds issued by the FHLBNY.  The FHLBNY believes the operational cost of designating the basis hedges in a qualifying hedge would outweigh the benefits of applying hedge accounting.  (2) interest rate caps to hedge balance sheet risk, specifically interest rate risk from certain capped floating rate investment securities.  (3) interest rate swaps that had previously qualified as hedges under the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging, but had been subsequently de-designated from hedge accounting as they were assessed as being not highly effective hedges.  (4) interest rate swaps executed to offset the fair value changes of bonds and discount notes designated under the FVO.  These swaps in economic hedges were considered freestanding and changes in the fair values of the swaps were recorded through income.

Credit Risk due to nonperformance by counterparties

The contractual or notional amount of derivatives reflects the involvement of the FHLBNY in the various classes of financial instruments, and serves as a basis for calculating periodic interest payments or cash flow.  Notional amount of a derivative does not measure the credit risk exposure, and the maximum credit exposure is substantially less than the notional amount.  The maximum credit risk is the estimated cost of replacing interest-rate swaps, forward agreements, mandatory delivery contracts for mortgage loans and purchased caps and floors (“derivatives”) in a gain position if the counterparty defaults and the related collateral, if any, is of insufficient value to the FHLBNY.

Derivatives are instruments that derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates and other inputs, or a combination of these factors.  The FHLBNY executes derivatives with swap dealers and financial institution swap counterparties as negotiated contracts, which are usually referred to as over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives.  For the FHLBNY, OTC derivative contracts are primarily bilateral contracts between the FHLBNY and the swap counterparties that are executed and settled bilaterally with counterparties without the use of a derivative clearing house (“DCO”).  Beginning on June 10, 2013, certain of the FHLBNY’s OTC derivatives are executed bilaterally with executing swap counterparties, and cleared and settled through one or more DCO as mandated under the Dodd-Frank Act.  When transacting a derivative for clearing, the FHLBNY utilizes a designated clearing agent that acts on behalf of the FHLBNY to clear and settle the interest rate exchange contract through the DCO.  Once the contract is accepted for clearing by the clearing agent, which acts in the capacity of an intermediary between the FHLBNY and the DCO, the original contract between the FHLBNY and the executing counterparty is extinguished, and is replaced by an identical contract between the FHLBNY and the DCO.  The DCO becomes the counterparty to the FHLBNY.  However, the clearing agent interacts with the DCO on behalf of the FHLBNY.

Bilateral OTC derivative contracts — For derivatives that are not eligible for clearing with a DCO, the FHLBNY is subject to credit risk as a result of nonperformance by swap counterparties to the derivative agreements.  The FHLBNY enters into master netting arrangements and bilateral security agreements with all active derivative counterparties, which provide for delivery of collateral at specified levels to limit the net unsecured credit exposure to these counterparties.  The FHLBNY makes judgments on each counterparty’s creditworthiness and estimates of collateral values in analyzing counterparty nonperformance credit risk.  Bilateral agreements consider the credit risks and the agreement specifies thresholds to post or receive collateral with changes in credit ratings.  When the FHLBNY has more than one derivative transaction outstanding with a counterparty, and a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists with the counterparty, the exposure (less collateral held) represents the appropriate measure of credit risk.  The FHLBNY conducts all its derivative transactions under ISDA master netting agreements.

30

OTC cleared contracts — Beginning on June 10, 2013, the FHLBNY became subject to mandatory clearing rules under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (“CFTC”) clearing rules as provided under the Dodd-Frank Act.  The FHLBNY’s cleared derivatives are also initially executed bilaterally with a swap dealer, the executing swap counterparty, in the OTC market, and the clearing process requires the FHLBNY to novate the contracts to a DCO, which then becomes the counterparty to the FHLBNY.

The enforceability of offsetting rights incorporated in the agreements for the cleared derivative transactions has been analyzed by the FHLBNY to establish the extent to which supportive legal opinion, obtained from counsel of recognized standing, provides the requisite level of certainty regarding the enforceability of these agreements.  Further analysis was performed to reach a view that the exercise of rights by the non-defaulting party under these agreements would not be stayed, or avoided under applicable law upon an event of default including bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding involving the DCO or the FHLBNY’s clearing agents or both.  Based on the analysis of the rules, and legal analysis obtained, the FHLBNY has made a determination that it has the right of setoff that is enforceable under applicable law that would allow it to: (1) net individual derivative contracts executed through a specific clearing agent (also referred to as a Futures Clearing Merchant, or “FCM”) to a designated DCO, so that a net derivative receivable or payable will be recorded for the DCO; the exposure (less margin held) would be represented by a single amount receivable from the DCO, and that amount would represent the appropriate measure of credit risk.  This policy election for netting cleared derivatives is consistent with the policy election for netting bilaterally settled derivative transactions under master netting agreements; and (2) net all derivative contracts novated to the DCO with cash margins posted by the FHLBNY or received against the derivative contracts through a specified FCM or clearing agent.  Typically, margins consist of Initial Margin (“initial margin”) and Variation Margin (“variation margin”).  Variation margin fluctuates with the fair values of the open contracts. Initial margin fluctuates with the value of the open contracts and changes in market interest volatility, and amounts paid by the FHLBNY are in addition to the fair values of the open derivative contracts. The FHLBNY treats excess margins posted on cleared and uncleared trades as Derivative Assets.

Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities — Net Presentation

The following table presents the gross and net derivatives receivables by contract type and amount for those derivatives contracts for which netting is permissible under U.S. GAAP (“Derivative instruments — Nettable”).  Derivatives receivables have been netted with respect to those receivables as to which the netting requirements have been met, including obtaining a legal analysis with respect to the enforceability of the netting.  Where such a legal analysis has not been either sought or obtained, the receivables were not netted, and were reported as Derivative instruments - Not Nettable (in thousands):

(a)Derivative instruments without legal right of offset were synthetic derivatives representing forward mortgage delivery commitments of 45 days or less.  It was operationally not practical to separate receivable from payables, and net presentation was adopted.  No collateral was netted against the receivable or payable.

(b)Unsecured amounts represent Derivative assets and liabilities recorded in the Statements of Condition at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The amounts primarily represent aggregate credit support thresholds that were waived under credit support agreements between the FHLBNY and derivative counterparties.

The gross derivative exposures as represented by derivatives in fair values in gain positions before netting and offsetting cash collateral were $673.3 million and $966.5 million due at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  Fair values amounts that were netted as a result of master netting agreements, or as a result of a determination that netting requirements had been met (including obtaining a legal analysis supporting the enforceability of the netting for cleared OTC derivatives), totaled $629.9 million and $924.6 million at those dates.  These adjustments included $1.6 million and $7.7 million in cash posted by counterparties to mitigate the FHLBNY’s exposures at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The net exposures after offsetting adjustments were $43.5 million and $41.9 million at those dates.

31

Derivative counterparties are also exposed to credit losses resulting from potential nonperformance risk of the FHLBNY with respect to derivative contracts, and their exposure due to a default by the FHLBNY is measured by derivatives in a fair value loss position from the FHLBNY’s perspective (and a gain position from the counterparty’s perspective).  At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, derivatives in a net unrealized loss positions, which represented the counterparties’ exposure to the potential non-performance risk of the FHLBNY, were $388.3 million and $426.8 million after deducting $1.7 billion and $2.5 billion of cash collateral posted by the FHLBNY at those dates to the exposed counterparties.  With respect to cleared derivatives, the DCO is also exposed to the failure of the FHLBNY to deliver cash margin, which is typically paid one day following the execution of a cleared derivative, and those amounts were not significant.  The exposure of the DCO to FHLBNY is included with the exposure totals provided above.

The FHLBNY is also exposed to the risk of derivative counterparties failing to return cash collateral deposited with counterparties due to counterparty bankruptcy or other similar scenarios.  If such an event were to occur, the FHLBNY would be forced to replace derivatives by executing similar derivative contracts with other counterparties.  To the extent that the FHLBNY receives cash from the replacement trades that is less than the amount of cash deposited with the defaulting counterparty, the FHLBNY’s cash pledged as a deposit is exposed to credit risk of the defaulting counterparty.  Derivative counterparties, including DCOs, holding the FHLBNY’s cash as posted collateral, were analyzed from credit performance perspective, and based on credit analyses and collateral requirements, the management of the FHLBNY does not anticipate any credit losses on its derivative agreements.

(a)All derivative assets and liabilities with swap dealers and counterparties are collateralized by cash; derivative instruments are subject to legal right of offset under master netting agreements, or in the absence of an agreement, the FHLBNY has been able to receive legal opinion that is has the rights to offset.

(b)Other:  Comprised of swaps intermediated for members.  Notional amounts represent purchases from dealers and sales to members.

Earnings Impact of Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The FHLBNY carries all derivative instruments on the Statements of Condition at fair value as Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities.  In the case of fair value hedges, if derivatives meet the hedging criteria under hedge accounting rules, and meeting the effectiveness measures, changes in fair value of the associated hedged financial instrument attributable to the risk being hedged may also be recorded through earnings.  In the hedge, some or all of the unrealized fair value gains or losses recognized on the derivatives are offset by corresponding unrealized gains or losses on the associated hedged financial assets and liabilities.  The net differential between fair value changes of the derivatives and the hedged items represents hedge ineffectiveness.  Hedge ineffectiveness represents the amounts by which the changes in the fair value of the derivatives differ from the changes in the fair values of the hedged items or the variability in the cash flows of forecasted transactions.  The net ineffectiveness from hedges that qualify under hedge accounting rules are recorded as a Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities in Other income (loss) in the Statements of Income.  If derivatives do not qualify for the hedging criteria under hedge accounting rules, but are executed as economic hedges of financial assets or liabilities under a

32

FHLBNY - approved hedge strategy, only the fair value changes of the derivatives are recorded as a Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities in Other income (loss) in the Statements of Income.

When the FHLBNY elects to measure certain debt under the accounting designation for FVO, the Bank will typically execute a derivative as an economic hedge of the debt.  Fair value changes of the derivatives are recorded as a Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities in Other income (loss).  Fair value changes of the debt designated under the FVO are recorded in as an unrealized (loss) or gain from Instruments held at fair value, also in Other income (loss).

(a)	As discussed in Note 1. reported amortization expenses of fair value basis of hedged advance that were modified have been reclassified in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 to conform to the classification adopted commencing in the fourth quarter of 2012. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2012, the amortization were reclassified as charges to Interest income from advances. The preferred reporting policy is to not reclassify the amortization to Interest income, rather to record the amortization as a Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities.
(b)	Represents interest expense and income associated with swaps that did not qualify under hedge accounting rules and were included with derivatives gains and losses.
(c)	Out-of-period adjustments — Fair value net hedging losses of $12.1 million in the 3rd quarter 2013 were after recording a cumulative out-of-period negative adjustment of $17.2 million to correct overstated hedging gains in prior periods in 2013 and 2012. Fair value hedging gain of $2.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 includes an out-of-period negative adjustment of $5.0 million from 2012. A flaw in the design of a swap transaction input template introduced in late 2011 mapped a specific non-standard transaction term incorrectly to the Bank’s valuation system, causing erroneous valuation of call and put options in an interest rate swap with options. Net gains related to fair value hedges were over stated as follows - $0.3 million for the 3rd quarter of 2012; $4.7 million for the 4th quarter of 2012; $4.1 million for the 1st quarter of 2013, and $8.1 million for the 2nd quarter of 2013.

(a) Hedges of anticipated issuance of debt - The maximum period of time that the Bank typically hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions in this program is between three and nine months.  At September 30, 2013 the Bank had open contracts of $31.5 millions of swaps to hedge the anticipated issuances of debt.  The fair values of the open contracts recorded in AOCI was an unrealized loss of $0.9 million at September 30, 2013.  There were no open contracts at December 31, 2012.  The amounts in AOCI from closed cash flow hedges representing net unrecognized losses were $9.1 million and $12.3 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  At September 30, 2013, it is expected that over the next 12 months, $2.9 million of the unrecognized losses in AOCI will be recognized as a yield adjustment (expenses) to consolidated bond interest expense.

(b) Hedges of discount notes in rolling issuances — At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion of notional amounts of the interest rate swaps were outstanding under this program.  Net unrealized fair values losses of $49.9 million and $124.8 million were recorded in AOCI at those dates.  The cash flow hedges mitigated exposure to the variability in future cash flows for a maximum period of 15 years.  Rising long-term swap rates at September 30, 2013, relative to December 31, 2012, caused fair value losses to decline.  The FHLBNY’s cash payments are fixed, and in return it receives LIBOR-indexed floating rate cash flows; in a rising rate environment, the amount of forecasted cash flows that it would potentially receive grow larger effectively reducing unrealized losses.

(c) Effective portion was recorded in AOCI.  Ineffectiveness was immaterial and was recorded within Net income.

(d) Represents unrecognized loss from cash flow hedges recorded in AOCI.

There were no material amounts 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.

Note 17.Fair Values of Financial Instruments.

The fair value amounts recorded on the Statements of Condition or presented in the note disclosures have been determined by the FHLBNY using available market information and best judgment of appropriate valuation methods.  These values do not represent an estimate of the overall market value of the FHLBNY as a going concern, which would take into account future business opportunities and the net profitability of assets and liabilities.

(a)Level 3 Instruments — The fair values of private-label MBS and housing finance agency bonds were estimated by management based on pricing services.  Valuations may have required pricing services to use significant inputs that were subjective because of the current lack of significant market activity so that the inputs may not be market based and observable.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The FHLBNY records available-for-sale securities, derivative assets, derivative liabilities, certain consolidated obligations and advances elected under the FVO, and certain other liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis.  On a non-recurring basis, certain held-to-maturity securities determined to be OTTI are also measured and recorded at their fair values.  The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The inputs are evaluated and an overall level for the fair value measurement is determined.  This overall level is an indication of market observability of the fair value measurement for the asset or liability.  An entity must disclose the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurements are classified for all assets and liabilities measured on a recurring or non-recurring basis.

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

·Level 1 Inputs — Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the reporting entity can access on the measurement date.

·Level 2 Inputs — Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable inputs for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.  Level 2 inputs include the following: (1) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (2) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; (3) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals, and volatilities).

·Level 3 Inputs — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The FHLBNY reviews its fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis.  Changes in the observability of the valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of certain assets or liabilities.  These reclassifications are reported as transfers in/out as of the beginning of the quarter in which the changes occur.  There were no such transfers in any periods in this report.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from product to product and is affected by a wide variety of factors including, for example, the characteristics peculiar to the transaction.  To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment.  Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the FHLBNY in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized as Level 3.  In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In such cases, for disclosure purposes the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Summary of Valuation Techniques and Primary Inputs

The fair value of a financial instrument that is an asset is defined as the price the FHLBNY would receive to sell the asset in an orderly transaction with market participants.  A financial liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor.  Where available, fair values are based on observable market prices or parameters, or derived from such prices or parameters.  Where observable prices are not available, valuation models and inputs are utilized.  These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or markets and the instruments’ complexity.

Because an active secondary market does not exist for a portion of the FHLBNY’s financial instruments, in certain cases, fair values are not subject to precise quantification or verification and may change as economic and market factors and evaluation of those factors change.  The fair values of financial assets and liabilities reported in the tables above are discussed below.

35

Cash and Due from Banks — The estimated fair value approximates the recorded book balance.

Interest-bearing Deposits and Federal Funds Sold — The FHLBNY determines estimated fair values of short-term investments by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows from the investments, a methodology also referred to as the Income approach under the Fair value measurement standards.  The discount rates used in these calculations are the current coupons of investments with similar terms.  Inputs into the cash flow models employed by the Bank are the yields on the instruments and are market based and observable and are considered to be within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investment Securities — The fair value of investment securities is estimated by the FHLBNY using information primarily from pricing services.  This methodology is also referred to as the Market approach under the Fair value measurement standards.  Carrying value of a security is the same as its amortized cost, unless the security is determined to be OTTI.  In the period the security is determined to be OTTI, its carrying value is generally adjusted down to its fair value.

Mortgage-backed securities — The FHLBNY’s valuation technique incorporates prices from up to four designated third-party pricing services, when available.  The FHLBNY’s base investment pricing methodology establishes a median price for each security using a formula that is based on the number of prices received.  If four prices are received from the four pricing vendors, the average of the two middle prices is used; if three prices are received, the middle price is used; if two prices are received, the average of the two prices is used; and if one price is received, it is used subject to further validation.  Vendor prices that are outside of a defined tolerance threshold of the median price are identified as outliers and subject to additional review, including, but not limited to, comparison to prices provided by an additional third-party valuation service, prices for similar securities, and/or non-binding dealer estimates, or use of internal model prices, which are deemed to be reflective of all relevant facts and circumstances that a market participant would consider.  Such analysis is also applied in those limited instances where no third-party vendor price or only one third-party vendor price is available in order to arrive at an estimated fair value.  In its analysis, the FHLBNY has also introduced the concept of clustering pricing, and to predefine cluster tolerances.  Once the median prices are computed from the four pricing vendors, the second step is to determine which of the sourced prices fall within the required tolerance level interval to the median price, which forms the “cluster” of prices to be averaged.  This average will determine a “default” price for the security.  To be included among the cluster, each price must fall within 10 points of the median price for residential PLMBS and within 3 points of the median price for GSE issued MBS.  The cluster tolerance guidelines shall be reviewed annually and may be revised as necessary.  The final step is to determine the final price of the security based on the cluster average and an evaluation of any outlier prices.  If the analysis confirms that an outlier is not representative of fair value and that the average of the vendor prices within the tolerance threshold of the median price is the best estimate, then the average of the vendor prices within the tolerance threshold of the median price is used as the final price.  If, on the other hand, an outlier (or some other price identified in the analysis) is determined to be a better estimate of fair value, then the outlier (or the other price as appropriate) is used as the final price.  In all cases, the final price is used to determine the fair value of the security.

The FHLBNY has also established that the pricing vendors use methods that generally employ, but are not limited to, benchmark yields, recent trades, dealer estimates, valuation models, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and/or matrix pricing.  To validate vendor prices of PLMBS, the FHLBNY has also adopted a formal process to examine yields as an additional validation method.  The FHLBNY calculates an implied yield for each of its PLMBS using estimated fair values derived from cash flows on a bond-by-bond basis.  This yield is then compared to the implied yield for comparable securities according to price information from third-party MBS “market surveillance reports”.  Significant variances or inconsistencies are evaluated in conjunction with all of the other available pricing information.  The objective is to determine whether an adjustment to the fair value estimate is appropriate.

Based on the FHLBNY’s review processes, management has concluded that inputs into the pricing models employed by pricing services for the Bank’s investments in GSE securities are market based and observable and are considered to be within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.  The valuation of the FHLBNY’s private-label securities, all designated as held-to-maturity, may require pricing services to use significant inputs that are subjective and are considered to be within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  This determination was made based on management’s view that the private-label instruments may not have an active market because of the specific vintage of the securities as well as inherent conditions surrounding the trading of private-label MBS, so that the inputs may not be market based and observable.  Certain held-to-maturity private-label MBS were deemed OTTI at December 31, 2012 (none at September 30, 2013, or at any time in 2013) and were written down to their fair values, so that their carrying values recorded in the balance sheet equaled their fair values, which were classified on a nonrecurring basis as Level 3 financial instruments under the valuation hierarchy.

Housing finance agency bonds - The fair value of housing finance agency bonds is estimated by management using information primarily from pricing services.  Because of the current lack of significant market activity, their fair values were categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as inputs into vendor pricing models may not be market based and observable.

Advances — The fair values of advances are computed using standard option valuation models.  The most significant inputs to the valuation model are (1) consolidated obligation debt curve (“CO Curve”), published by the Office of Finance and available to the public, and (2) LIBOR swap curves and volatilities.  The Bank considers both these inputs to be market based and observable as they can be directly corroborated by market participants.

The FHLBNY determines the fair values of its advances by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows from the advances, a methodology also referred to as the Income approach under the Fair value measurement standards.  The discount rates used in these calculations are equivalent to the replacement advance rates for

36

advances with similar terms.  In accordance with the Finance Agency’s advances regulations, an advance with a maturity or repricing period greater than six months requires a prepayment fee sufficient to make a FHLBank financially indifferent to the borrower’s decision to prepay the advance.  Therefore, the fair value of an advance does not assume prepayment risk.

The inputs used to determine fair value of advances are as follows:

·CO Curve.  The FHLBNY uses the CO Curve, which represents its cost of funds, as an input to estimate the fair value of advances, and to determine current advance rates.  This input is considered market observable and therefore a Level 2 input.

·Volatility assumption.  To estimate the fair value of advances with optionality, the FHLBNY uses market-based expectations of future interest rate volatility implied from current market prices for similar options. This input is considered a Level 2 input as it is market based and market observable.

·Spread adjustment.  Adjustments represent the FHLBNY’s mark-up based on its pricing strategy.  The input is considered as unobservable, and is classified as a Level 3 input.  The spread adjustment is not a significant input to the overall fair value of an advance.

The FHLBNY creates an internal curve, which is interpolated from its advance rates.  Advance rates are calculated by applying a spread to an underlying “base curve” derived from the FHLBNY’s cost of funds, which is based on the CO Curve, inputs to which have been determined to be market observable and classified as Level 2.  The spreads applied to the base advance pricing curve typically represent the FHLBNY’s mark-ups over the FHLBNY’s cost of funds, and are not market observable inputs, but are based on the FHLBNY’s advance pricing strategy.  Such inputs have been classified as a Level 3.  For the FHLBNY, Level 3 inputs were considered not significant.

To determine the appropriate classification of the overall measurement in the fair value hierarchy of an advance, an analysis of the inputs to the entire fair value measurement was performed at September 30, 2013 and at December 31, 2012.  If the unobservable spread to the FHLBNY’s cost of funds was not significant to the overall fair value, then the measurement was classified as Level 2.  Conversely, if the unobservable spread was significant to the overall fair value, then the measurement would be classified as Level 3.  The impact of the unobservable input was calculated as the difference in the value determined by discounting an advance’s cash flows using the FHLBNY’s advance curve and the value determined by discounting an advance’s cash flows using the FHLBNY’s cost of funds curve.  Given the relatively small mark-ups over the FHLBNY’s cost of funds, the results of the FHLBNY’s quantitative analysis confirmed the FHLBNY’s expectations that the measurement of the FHLBNY’s advances was Level 2.  The unobservable mark-up spreads were not significant to the overall fair value of the instrument.  A quantitative threshold for significance factor was established at 10 percent, with additional qualitative factors to be considered if the ratio exceeded the threshold.

The FHLBNY has elected the FVO designation for certain advances and recorded their fair values in the Statements of Conditions for such advances.  The CO Curve was the primary input, which is market based and observable.  Inputs to apply spreads, which are FHLBNY specific, were not material.  Fair values were classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Other Assets — The estimated fair values approximate the recorded book value because of the relatively short period of time between their origination and expected realization.

Mortgage Loans (MPF Loans)

A.  Principal and/or Most Advantageous Market and Market Participants

The FHLBNY may sell mortgage loans to another FHLBank or in the secondary mortgage market.  Because transactions between FHLBanks occur infrequently, the FHLBNY has identified the secondary mortgage market as the principal market for mortgage loans under the MPF programs.  Also, based on the nature of the supporting collateral to the MPF loans held by FHLBNY, the presentation of a single class for all products within the MPF product types is considered appropriate.  As described below, the FHLBNY believes that the market participants within the secondary mortgage market for the MPF portfolio would differ primarily whether qualifying or non-qualifying loans are being sold.

Qualifying Loans — The FHLBNY believes that a market participant is an entity that would buy qualifying mortgage loans for the purpose of securitization and subsequent resale as a security.  Other government-sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”), specifically Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), conduct the majority of such activity in the United States, but there are other commercial banks and financial institutions that periodically conduct business in this market.  Therefore, the FHLBNY has identified market participants for qualifying loans to include (1) all GSEs, and (2) other commercial banks and financial institutions that are independent of the FHLBank System.

Non-qualifying Loans — For the FHLBNY, non-qualifying loans are primarily impaired loans.  The FHLBNY believes that it is unlikely the GSE market participants would willingly buy loans that did not meet their normal criteria or underwriting standards.  However, a market exists with commercial banks and financial institutions other than GSEs where such market participants buy non-qualifying loans in order to securitize them as they become current, resell them in the secondary market, or hold them in their portfolios.  Therefore, the FHLBNY has identified the market participants for non-qualifying loans to include other commercial banks and financial institutions that are independent of the FHLBank System.

B.  Fair Value at Initial Recognition — MPF Loans

The FHLBNY believes that the transaction price (entry price) may differ from the fair value (exit price) at initial recognition because it is determined using a different method than subsequent fair value measurements.  However, because mortgage loans are not measured at fair value in the balance sheet, day one gains and losses would not be applicable.  Additionally, all mortgage loans were performing at the time of origination.

37

The FHLBNY receives an entry price from the FHLBank of Chicago, the MPF Provider, at the time of acquisition. This entry price is based on the TBA rates, as well as exit prices received from market participants, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.  The price is adjusted for specific MPF program characteristics and may be further adjusted by the FHLBNY to accommodate changing market conditions.  Because of the adjustments, in many cases, the entry price would not equal the exit price at the time of acquisition.

C. Valuation Technique, Inputs and Hierarchy

The FHLBNY calculates the fair value of the entire mortgage loan portfolio using a valuation technique referred to as the “market approach”.  Loans are aggregated into synthetic pass-through securities based on product type, loan origination year, gross coupon and loan term.  The fair values are based on TBA rates (or agency commitment rates), as discussed above, adjusted primarily for seasonality.  The fair values of impaired MPF are also based on TBA rates and are adjusted for a haircut value on the underlying collateral value.  The FHLBNY validates the impairment adjustment made to TBA rates by “back-testing” against incurred losses.

TBA and agency commitment rates are market observable and therefore classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.  Any inputs derived from observable market data also result in a Level 2 classification.  Any inputs based on unobservable assumptions would be classified as Level 3 inputs.  Since most of the FHLBNY mortgage loans are currently performing and no credit losses are expected, any Level 3 inputs are generally insignificant to the total measurement and therefore the measurement of most loans may be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. However, many of the credit and default risk related inputs involved with the valuation techniques described above may be considered unobservable due to variety of reasons (e.g., lack of market activity for a particular loan, inherent judgment involved in property estimates).  If unobservable inputs are considered significant, the loans would be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.  Therefore, loans with expected credit losses may result in Level 2 or Level 3 classifications depending upon the significance of unobservable inputs used.

Consolidated Obligations — The FHLBNY estimates the fair values of consolidated obligations based on the present values of expected future cash flows due on the debt obligations.  Calculations are performed by using the FHLBNY’s industry standard option adjusted valuation models.  Inputs are based on the cost of raising comparable term debt.

The FHLBNY’s internal valuation models use standard valuation techniques and estimate fair values based on the following inputs:

·CO Curve and LIBOR Swap Curve.  The Office of Finance constructs an internal curve, referred to as the CO Curve, using the U.S. Treasury Curve as a base curve that is then adjusted by adding indicative spreads obtained from market observable sources.  These market indications are generally derived from pricing indications from dealers, historical pricing relationships, recent GSE trades and secondary market activity.  The FHLBNY considers the inputs as Level 2 inputs as they are market observable.

·Volatility assumption.  To estimate the fair values of consolidated obligations with optionality, the FHLBNY uses market-based expectations of future interest rate volatility implied from current market prices for similar options.  These inputs are also considered Level 2 as they are market based and observable.

The FHLBNY has elected the FVO designation for certain consolidated obligation debt and recorded their fair values in the Statements of Conditions.  The CO Curve and volatility assumptions (for debt with call options) were primary inputs, which are market based and observable.  Fair values were classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities — The FHLBNY’s derivatives are traded in the over-the-counter market.  Discounted cash flow analysis is the primary methodology employed by the FHLBNY’s valuation models to measure the fair values of interest rate swaps.  The valuation technique is considered as an “Income approach”.  Interest rate caps and floors are valued under the “Market approach”.  Interest rate swaps and interest rate caps and floors, collectively “derivatives”, were valued in industry-standard option adjusted valuation models, which generated fair values.  The valuation models employed multiple market inputs including interest rates, prices and indices to create continuous yield or pricing curves and volatility factors.  These multiple market inputs were corroborated by management to independent market data, and to relevant benchmark indices.  In addition, derivative valuations were compared by management to counterparty valuations received as part of the collateral exchange process.  These derivative positions were classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

The Bank’s valuation model utilizes a modified Black-Karasinski model that assumes that rates are distributed log normally.  The log-normal model precludes interest rates turning negative in the model computations.  Significant market based and observable inputs into the valuation model include volatilities and interest rates.  The Bank’s valuation model employs industry standard market-observable inputs (inputs that are actively quoted and can be validated to external sources).  Inputs by class of derivative were as follows:

Interest-rate related:

·LIBOR Swap Curve.

·Volatility assumption.  Market-based expectations of future interest rate volatility implied from current market prices for similar options.

·Prepayment assumption (if applicable).

·Federal funds curve (OIS curve).

38

Mortgage delivery commitments (considered a derivative):

·TBA security prices are adjusted for differences in coupon, average loan rate and seasoning.

OIS adoption — Beginning with December 31, 2012 and at September 30, 2013, the FHLBNY has incorporated overnight indexed swap (“OIS”) curves as fair value measurement inputs for the valuation of its derivatives, as the OIS curves reflect the interest rates paid on cash collateral provided against the fair value of these derivatives.  The FHLBNY believes using relevant OIS curves as inputs to determine fair value measurements provides a more representative reflection of the fair values of these collateralized interest-rate related derivatives.  The OIS curve (Federal funds curve) was an additional input incorporated into the valuation model.  The input for the federal funds curve is obtained from industry standard pricing vendors and the input is available and observable over its entire term structure.  Management considers the federal funds curve to be a Level 2 input.  The FHLBNY’s valuation model utilizes industry standard OIS methodology.  The model generates forecasted cash flows using the OIS calibrated 3-month LIBOR curve.  The model then discounts the cash flows by the OIS curve to generate fair values.  Previously, the FHLBNY used the 3-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) curve as the relevant benchmark curve for its derivatives and as the discounting rate for these collateralized interest-rate related derivatives.  The impact of the adoption of OIS on the FHLBNY’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows was not material.

Credit risk and credit valuation adjustments — The FHLBNY is subject to credit risk in derivatives transactions due to the potential nonperformance of its derivatives counterparties, which are generally highly rated institutions.  To mitigate this risk, the FHLBNY has entered into master netting agreements with its derivative counterparties.  To further limit the FHLBNY’s net unsecured credit exposure to those counterparties, the FHLBNY has entered into bilateral security agreements with all of its derivatives counterparties that provide for the delivery of collateral at specified levels.

The valuation of derivative assets and liabilities reflect the value of the instrument including the values associated with counterparty risk and would also take into account the FHLBNY’s own credit standing and non-performance risk.  The Bank has collateral agreements with all its derivative counterparties and enforces collateral exchanges at least weekly.  The computed fair values of the FHLBNY’s derivatives took into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements that allow the FHLBNY to settle positive and negative positions and offset cash collateral with the same counterparty on a net basis.  The Bank and each of its derivative counterparties have bilateral collateral thresholds that take into account both the Bank and counterparty’s credit ratings.  As a result of these practices and agreements and the FHLBNY’s assessment of any change in its own credit spread, the Bank has concluded that the impact of the credit differential between the Bank and its derivative counterparties was sufficiently mitigated to an immaterial level that no credit adjustments were deemed necessary to the recorded fair value of Derivative assets and Derivative liabilities in the Statements of Condition at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Control processes — The FHLBNY employs control processes to validate the fair value of its financial instruments, including those derived from valuation models.  These control processes are designed to ensure that the values used for financial reporting are based on observable inputs wherever possible.  In the event that observable inputs are not available, the control processes are designed to ensure that the valuation approach utilized is appropriate and consistently applied and that the assumptions are reasonable.  These control processes include reviews of the pricing model’s theoretical soundness and appropriateness by specialists with relevant expertise who are independent from the trading desks or personnel who were involved in the design and selection of model inputs.  Additionally, groups that are independent from the trading desk, or personnel involved in the design and selection of model inputs participate in the review and validation of the fair values generated from the valuation model.  The FHLBNY maintains an ongoing review of its valuation models and has a formal model validation policy in addition to procedures for the approval and control of data inputs.  As discussed in Note 16. Derivatives and Hedging Activities, the FHLBNY identified an error in the valuation of put and call options in certain cancellable swaps.  The FHLBNY has traced the error to a flaw in the design of a template that was created in 2012 to make swap data input to be more efficient, in preparation of the roll-out of cleared derivatives under the Dodd-Frank Act.  The FHLBNY has concluded that the valuation model is performing to industry standards and its valuation capabilities remain robust and dependable.  The FHLBNY assessed the materiality of the errors and has concluded that the errors were not material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Deposits — The FHLBNY determines estimated fair values of deposits by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows from the deposits.  The discount rates used in these calculations are the current cost of deposits with similar terms.

Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock — The fair value of capital stock subject to mandatory redemption is generally equal to its par value as indicated by contemporaneous member purchases and sales at par value.  Fair value also includes an estimated dividend earned at the time of reclassification from equity to liabilities, until such amount is paid, and any subsequently declared dividend.  FHLBank stock can only be acquired and redeemed at par value.  FHLBank stock is not traded and no market mechanism exists for the exchange of stock outside the FHLBank System’s cooperative structure.

Accrued Interest Payable and Other Liabilities — The estimated fair values approximate the recorded book value because of the relatively short period of time between their origination and expected realization.

Fair Value Measurement

The tables below present the fair value of those assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, by level within the fair value hierarchy.  The

39

FHLBNY measures certain held-to-maturity securities and mortgage loans at fair value on a non-recurring basis due to the recognition of a credit loss.  Real estate owned is measured at fair value when the asset’s fair value less costs to sell is lower than its carrying amount.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis (in thousands):

Fair values of Held-to-Maturity Securities on a Nonrecurring Basis — Certain held-to-maturity investment securities were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments when there is evidence of other-than-temporary impairment.  In accordance with the guidance on recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairment, held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities that were determined to be credit impaired at December 31, 2012 (none at September 30, 2013), were recorded at their fair values in the Statements of Condition at that date.  For more information, see Note 5. Held-to-Maturity Securities.

(a)	Fair values were developed by pricing vendors and reviewed by the FHLBNY.
(b)	Level 3 Instruments — The fair values of private-label MBS determined OTTI at December 31, 2012 (and all private-label MBS) were based on pricing services. In management’s view, valuations may have required pricing services to use significant inputs that were subjective because of the current lack of significant market activity so that the inputs may not be market based and observable.

Fair Value Option Disclosures

The fair value option (“FVO”) provides an irrevocable option to elect fair value as an alternative measurement for selected financial assets, financial liabilities, unrecognized firm commitments, and written loan commitments not previously carried at fair value.  It requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the entity has chosen to use fair value on the face of the statement of condition.  Fair value is used for both the initial and subsequent measurement of the designated assets, liabilities and commitments, with the changes in fair value recognized in net income.  Interest income and interest expense on advances and consolidated obligations at fair value are recognized solely on the contractual amount of interest due or unpaid.  Any transaction fees or costs are immediately recognized into non-interest income or non-interest expense.

The FHLBNY has elected the FVO for certain advances and certain consolidated obligations that either do not qualify for hedge accounting or may be at risk for not meeting hedge effectiveness requirements, primarily in an

40

effort to mitigate the potential income statement volatility that can arise from economic hedging relationships in which the carrying value of the hedged item is not adjusted for changes in fair value.  Additionally, advances will be considered by the FHLBNY for FVO if analysis indicates that changes in the fair values of the advance would be an offset to fair value volatility of debt elected under the FVO.

For instruments for which the fair value option has been elected, the related contractual interest income, contractual interest expense and the discount amortization on fair value option discount notes are recorded as part of net interest income in the Statements of Income.  The remaining changes in fair value for instruments for which the fair value option has been elected are recorded as net gains (losses) on financial instruments held under fair value option in the Statements of Income.  The change in fair value does not include changes in instrument-specific credit risk.  The FHLBNY has determined that no adjustments to the fair values of its instruments recorded under the fair value option for instrument-specific credit risk were necessary during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Note 18.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 Agency.  Neither the FHLBNY nor any other FHLBank has ever had to assume or pay the consolidated obligations 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 the provisions of accounting standards for guarantees, the Bank would have 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 exception under the accounting standard for guarantees.  Accordingly, the FHLBNY has not recognized the fair value of a liability for its joint and several obligations related to other FHLBanks’ consolidated obligations, which in aggregate was $0.7 trillion at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Standby letters of credit are executed for a fee on behalf of members to facilitate residential housing, community lending, and members’ asset/liability management or to provide liquidity.  A standby letter of credit is a financing arrangement between the FHLBNY and its member.  Members assume an unconditional obligation to reimburse the FHLBNY for value given by the FHLBNY to the beneficiary under the terms of the standby letter of credit.  The FHLBNY may, in its discretion, permit the member to finance repayment of their obligation by receiving a collateralized advance.  Outstanding standby letters of credit were $8.0 billion and $6.6 billion as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, with original terms of up to 15 years, with a final expiration in 2019.  Standby letters of credit are fully collateralized.  Unearned fees on standby letters of credit were recorded in Other liabilities, and were not significant as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

MPF Program — Under the MPF program, the FHLBNY was unconditionally obligated to purchase $12.0 million and $25.2 million of mortgage loans at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  Commitments were generally for periods not to exceed 45 business days.  Such commitments were recorded as derivatives at their fair value under the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging.  In addition, the FHLBNY had entered into conditional agreements under “Master Commitments” with its members in the MPF program to purchase mortgage loans in aggregate of $1.2 billion and $0.9 billion as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Future benefit payments — Pension stabilization in a bill passed in 2012, known as Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (“MAP-21”) allows companies to set their pension plan contributions using a rate based on high-quality bond yields averaged over 25 years.  Before MAP-21, the rule was two years using current rates.  Allowing plan sponsors to use the higher of the two averages under MAP-21 resulted in a lower pension liability, and lower minimum required contributions for plan years 2012 and 2013.  MAP-21 it is not a permanent relief as lower contributions are likely to mean higher contributions in the future.  Over time, the pension funding stabilization will result in higher contributions starting in 2014 as projected rates under the MAP-21 relief continue to decrease.

The FHLBNY expects to contribute an estimated $2.7 million over the next 12 months towards its Defined Benefit Plan, a multiemployer pension plan.  Pentegra Retirement Services, which operates the multiemployer pension plan has advised the FHLBNY that it projects the minimum required contribution for the FHLBNY will increase to $7.8 million with the plan period beginning July 1, 2014.  The projection is based on a number of assumptions, principally that the FHLBNY’s plan provisions will remain substantially unchanged, there will be no significant increase in underlying real interest rates and MAP-21 interest rates will decline next year by approximately 60 basis points.  As with all projections, actual minimum required contributions in future periods might differ from those projected at this time.

Derivative contracts — The FHLBNY executes derivatives with major financial institutions and enters into bilateral collateral agreements.  When counterparties are exposed, the Bank would typically pledge cash collateral to mitigate the counterparty’s credit exposure.  To mitigate the counterparties’ exposures, the FHLBNY deposited $1.7 billion and $2.5 billion in cash with derivative counterparties as pledged collateral at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and these amounts were reported as a deduction to Derivative liabilities.

Issuance of discount notes - The FHLBNY had committed to the issuance of $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion in consolidated obligation discount notes at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, as part of cash flow hedging strategy, described as “Cash flow hedges of rolling issuances of discount notes”.  Further information is provided in Note 16. Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Lease contracts — Lease agreements for FHLBNY premises generally provide for inflationary increases in the basic rentals resulting from increases in property taxes and maintenance expenses, and these expenses were not material.  There has been no material change with respect to lease obligations that was previously disclosed in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2013.

(a) Contractual obligations related to interest payments on long-term debt are calculated by applying the weighted average interest rate on the FHLBNY’s outstanding long-term debt as of September 30, 2013 to the contractual payment obligations on long-term debt for each of the periods disclosed in the table.  At September 30, 2013, the FHLBNY’s overall weighted average contractual interest rate for long-term debt was 0.88%.  Callable bonds contain an exercise date or a series of exercise dates that may result in a shorter redemption period. Mandatorily redeemable capital stock is categorized by the dates at which the corresponding member obligations mature. Excess capital stock is redeemed at that time, and hence, these dates better represent the related commitments than the put dates associated with capital stock, under which stock may not be redeemed until the later of five years from the date the member becomes a nonmember or the related advance matures.

(b) Includes accounts payable and accrued expenses, Pass-through reserves at the FRB on behalf of certain members of the FHLBNY recorded in Other liabilities on the Statements of Condition.  Also includes projected payment obligations for the Postretirement Health Benefit Plan and Benefit Equalization Plan.  For more information about these employee retirement plans, see Note 15.  Employee Retirement Plans.

The FHLBNY does not anticipate any credit losses from its off-balance sheet commitments and accordingly no provision for losses was required.

Impact of the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers

From time to time, the Bank is involved in disputes or regulatory inquiries that arise in the ordinary course of business. At the present time, except as noted below, there are no pending claims against the Bank that, if established, are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Bank’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (“LBHI”), the parent company of Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc. (“LBSF”) and a guarantor of LBSF’s obligations, filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York. LBSF filed for protection under Chapter 11 in the same court on October 3, 2008.  A Chapter 11 plan was confirmed in their bankruptcy cases by order of the Bankruptcy Court dated December 6, 2011 (the “Plan”).  The Plan became effective on March 6, 2012.

LBSF was a counterparty to FHLBNY on multiple derivative transactions under an International Swap Dealers Association, Inc. master agreement with a total notional amount of $16.5 billion at the time of termination of the Bank’s derivative transactions with LBSF.  The net amount that was due to the Bank after giving effect to obligations that were due LBSF was approximately $65 million.  The Bank filed timely proofs of claim in the amount of approximately $65 million as creditors of LBSF and LBHI in connection with the bankruptcy proceedings.  The Bank fully reserved the LBSF and LBHI receivables as the dispute with LBSF described below make the timing and the amount of any recoveries uncertain.

As previously reported, the Bank received a Derivatives ADR Notice from LBSF dated July 23, 2010 claiming that the Bank was liable to LBSF under the master agreement.  Subsequently, in accordance with the Alternative Dispute Resolution Procedure Order entered by the Bankruptcy Court dated September 17, 2009 (“Order”), the Bank responded to LBSF on August 23, 2010, denying LBSF’s Demand. LBSF served a reply on September 7, 2010, effectively reiterating its position.  A mediation conducted pursuant to the Order commenced on December 8, 2010 and concluded without settlement on March 17, 2011. LBSF claims that the Bank is liable to it in the principal amount of approximately $198 million plus interest on such principal amount from the Early Termination Date to December 1, 2008 at an interest rate equal to the average of the cost of funds of the Bank and LBSF on the Early Termination Date, and after December 1, 2008 at a default interest rate of LIBOR plus 13.5%. LBSF’s asserted claim as of December 6, 2010, including principal and interest, was approximately $268 million.  Pursuant to the Order, positions taken by the parties in the ADR process are confidential.  While the Bank believes that LBSF’s position is without merit, and therefore no payment to LBSF or LBHI is probable, the amount the Bank actually recovers or pays will ultimately be decided in the course of the bankruptcy proceedings.

Note 19.Related Party Transactions.

The FHLBNY is a cooperative and the members own almost all of the stock of the Bank.  Stock issued and outstanding that is not owned by members is held by former members.  The majority of the members of the Board of

43

Directors of the FHLBNY are elected by and from the membership.  The FHLBNY conducts its advances business almost exclusively with members.  The Bank considers its transactions with its members and non-member stockholders as related party transactions in addition to transactions with other FHLBanks, the Office of Finance, and the Finance Agency.  The FHLBNY conducts all transactions with members and non-members in the ordinary course of business.  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.  The FHLBNY may from time to time borrow or sell overnight and term Federal funds at market rates to members.

Debt Assumptions and Transfers

Debt assumptions — The Bank did not assume debt from another FHLBank in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Debt transfers — In the first quarter of 2013, the Bank transferred $25.0 million to another FHLBank at negotiated market rates that exceeded amortized cost by $3.9 million, which was charged to earnings in that period.  No debt was transferred to another FHLbank in the second and the third quarter of 2013, or in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.  When debt is transferred, the transferring bank notifies the Office of Finance on trade date of the change in primary obligor for the transferred debt.

Advances Sold or Transferred

No advances were transferred/sold to the FHLBNY or from the FHLBNY to another FHLBank in any periods in this report.

MPF Program

In the MPF program, the FHLBNY may participate out certain portions of its purchases of mortgage loans from its members.  Transactions are at market rates.  The FHLBank of Chicago, the MPF provider’s cumulative share of interest in the FHLBNY’s MPF loans at September 30, 2013 was $37.1 million from inception of the program from mid-2004.  At December 31, 2012, the comparable number was $47.5 million.  Since 2004, the FHLBNY has not shared its purchases with the FHLBank of Chicago.  Fees paid to the FHLBank of Chicago were $0.2 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, and $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the same periods in 2012.

Mortgage-backed Securities

No mortgage-backed securities were acquired from other FHLBanks during the periods in this report.

Intermediation

Notional amounts of $205.0 million and $265.0 million of interest rate swaps were outstanding at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and represented derivative contracts in which the FHLBNY acted as an intermediary to sell derivatives to members with an offsetting purchased contracts with unrelated derivatives dealers.  Net fair value exposures of these transactions were not significant.  The intermediated derivative transactions with members were fully collateralized.

Loans to Other Federal Home Loan Banks

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the FHLBNY extended overnight loans for a total of $2.8 billion and $6.9 billion.  In the same periods in 2012, the FHLBNY extended overnight loans for a total of $0.3 billion and $1.0 billion to other FHLBanks.  Generally, loans made to other FHLBanks are uncollateralized.  The impact to Net interest income from such loans was not significant in any period in this report.

Borrowings from Other Federal Home Loan Banks

The FHLBNY borrows from other FHLBanks, generally for a period of one day.  In the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, there was no borrowing from other FHLBanks.  There was no borrowing from other FHLBanks for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the FHLBNY borrowed one overnight loan for a total of $50.0 million from a FHLBank.

Note 20.Segment Information and Concentration.

The FHLBNY manages its operations as a single business segment.  Management and the FHLBNY’s Board of Directors review enterprise-wide financial information in order to make operating decisions and assess performance.  Advances to large members constitute a significant percentage of FHLBNY’s advance portfolio and its source of revenues.

The FHLBNY’s total assets and capital could significantly decrease if one or more large members were to withdraw from membership or decrease business with the Bank.  Members might withdraw or reduce their business as a result of consolidating with an institution that was a member of another FHLBank, or for other reasons.  The FHLBNY has considered the impact of losing one or more large members.  In general, a withdrawing member would be required to repay all indebtedness prior to the redemption of its capital stock.  Under current conditions, the FHLBNY does not expect the loss of a large member to impair its operations, since the FHLBank Act of 1999 does not allow the FHLBNY to redeem the capital of an existing member if the redemption would cause the FHLBNY to fall below its capital requirements.  Consequently, the loss of a large member should not result in an inadequate capital position for the FHLBNY.  However, such an event could reduce the amount of capital that the FHLBNY has available for continued growth.  This could have various ramifications for the FHLBNY, including a possible reduction in net income and dividends, and a lower return on capital stock for remaining members.

Pending merger — In the second quarter of 2012, Hudson City Bancorp, Inc. had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with M&T Bank Corporation and Wilmington Trust Corporation (“WTC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of M&T Bank Corporation.   The Merger Agreement provided that FHLBNY member Hudson City Savings Bank (“Hudson City”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hudson City Bancorp, will merge with and into FHLBNY member Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T”), a wholly owned subsidiary of M&T Bank Corporation, with M&T Bank continuing as the surviving bank.   The Merger Agreement was subject to, among other items, shareholder and regulatory approvals.

On April 12, 2013, Hudson City Bancorp, Inc. and M&T Bank Corporation announced that they expect additional time will be required to obtain a regulatory determination on the applications necessary to complete their proposed merger.  M&T and Hudson City intend to extend the date to January 31, 2014, after which either party may elect to terminate the merger agreement, but there can be no assurances that the merger will be completed by that date.  The consideration and exchange ratio as provided in the merger agreement will remain the same.  M&T and Hudson City intend to close the merger as soon as possible following the receipt of all necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals and satisfaction of all other conditions to closing.

The parties had indicated in 2012 their intention to pay off FHLBNY advances upon the closing of the merger transactions.   We do not expect the merger to have a significant adverse impact on our financial position, cash flows or earnings.   When advances are early terminated by Hudson City, we expect to receive prepayment fees that will make us economically whole.   However, prepayments may cause a decline in our book of business if the terminated advances are not replaced by new borrowings by other members.   A lower volume of advances, which is the primary focus of our business, could result in lower net interest income and impact earnings in future periods.

Cooperative business model.  As a cooperative, we seek to maintain a balance between our public policy mission and our ability to provide adequate returns on the capital supplied by our members.  We achieve this balance by delivering low-cost financing to members to help them meet the credit needs of their communities and also by paying a dividend on members’ capital stock.  Our financial strategies are designed to enable us to expand and contract in response to member credit needs.  By investing capital in high quality, short- and medium-term financial instruments, we maintain sufficient liquidity to satisfy member demand for short- and long-term funds, repay maturing consolidated obligations, and meet other obligations.  The dividends we pay are largely the result of earnings on invested member capital, net earnings on advances to members, mortgage loans and investments, offset in part by operating expenses and assessments.  Our Board of Directors and Management determine the pricing of member credit and dividend policies based on the needs of our members and the cooperative.

Business segment.  We manage our operations as a single business segment.  Advances to members are our primary focus and the principal factor that impacts our operating results.  We are exempt from ordinary federal, state and local taxation (except for local real property tax).  We are required to set aside a percentage of our income towards an Affordable Housing Program (“AHP”).

Explanation of the use of certain non-GAAP measures of Interest Income and Expense, Net Interest income and margin.  The results of our operations are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  We have also presented certain information regarding our spread between Interest Income and Expense, Net Interest income spread and Return on Earning assets.  This spread combines interest expense on debt with net interest exchanged with swap dealers on interest rate swaps associated with debt hedged on an economic basis.  We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and members seeking to understand our operational performance and business and performance trends.  Although we believe these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investor and members’ understanding of the Bank’s business and performance, they should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.  We have provided GAAP measures in parallel whenever discussing non-GAAP measures.

2013 Third Quarter Highlights

Results of Operations

We reported 2013 third quarter Net income of $61.3 million, or $1.15 per share, compared with 2012 third quarter Net income of $88.4 million, or $1.81 per share.  The return on average equity, which is Net income divided by average Capital stock, Retained earnings and AOCI, was 3.95% in the current year period, compared with 6.42% in the same period in the prior year.  The third quarter results include a negative adjustment of $17.2 million to correct overstated net gains on derivatives and hedging activities in the third and fourth quarter of 2012 and the first and second quarter of 2013.  The correction had a negative impact of $15.5 million (net after AHP Assessments) on Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2013, and had no impact on Net interest income or net interest margin.  The FHLBNY has assessed the correction due to valuations error on certain derivatives in the periods discussed above, and has concluded the adjustments to be not material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.  For more information, see Components of net gains/(losses) on derivatives and hedging activities, in Note 16.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Net income for the first nine months of 2013 was $215.8 million, or $4.43 per share, compared with $276.9 million, or $5.99 per share, in the same period in 2012.  The return on average equity was 5.12% in the first nine months of 2013, compared with 7.09% in the same period in 2012.  Net income as reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, included an out-of- period adjustment of $5.0 million to correct for overstated hedging gains in

51

2012.  The adjustment had a negative impact of $4.5 million (net after AHP Assessments) on Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The following summarizes the primary changes to Net Income 2013 third quarter versus 2012 third quarter:

·Net interest income (before provision for credit losses) in the current year quarter was $106.0 million, compared to $117.5 million in the prior year quarter.  Lower yields from interest earning assets in the current year quarter had a negative impact of $18.7 million.  Average earning assets grew $8.8 billion in the current year quarter, making a favorable contribution of $7.2 million.  For more information, see Table 1.8 Spread and Yield Analysis, and Table 1.10 Rate and Volume Analysis.

·The decline was primarily due to lower yields from advances and lower volume and yields from investments.  Advance yields were lower as higher yielding advances have been prepaid, and were either not replaced or replaced by floating-rate advances that reset at intervals of 3-months or less at the prevailing short-term LIBOR that has continued to decline in 2013.  Higher yielding advances, which are generally long-term fixed rate advances are typically swapped to the 3-month LIBOR, and as a result of the low LIBOR, the effective “after swap yields” have also declined.

·Higher-yielding investments in MBS have been paying down.  Fixed-rate MBS acquired to replace pay downs were at lower coupons.  The U.S. Treasury has continued to purchase GSE-issued MBS, putting upward pressure on pricing and causing yields to fall.  Floating-rate MBS, primarily indexed to short-term LIBOR, have yielded lower coupons as the 3-month LIBOR continues to hover at very low levels.

·Funding costs have also declined as would be expected in a declining interest rate environment, but have not paralleled the lower yields from interest earning assets.  The low 3-month LIBOR has left little room for hedging fixed rate debt to a sub-LIBOR spread, and the effective “swapped out” cost of funds have not declined as would be expected to reflect the credit standing of FHLBank debt.  In instances, we have chosen to synthetically create relatively more expensive long-term fixed rate funds to hedge long term investments in securities and long-term mortgage loans.

·Other income (loss) was a net loss of $15.0 million in the 2013 third quarter versus a net gain of $3.1 million in the same period in 2012.  As discussed previously, the loss in the 2013 period was primarily due to a negative adjustment of $17.2 million made in the 2013 third quarter to correct for hedging gains that had been overstated in prior periods.

·Compensation and benefits expenses were $13.2 million in the 2013 third quarter, slightly up from $12.7 million from the prior year period.  Operating expenses were $6.7 million in the 2013 third quarter, slightly higher than $6.0 million in the prior year period due to higher expenses related to computer service agreements and contractual services.

·Assessments set aside from Net income towards the Affordable Housing Program (“AHP”) were $6.9 million in the 2013 third quarter, compared to $9.9 million in the prior year period.  AHP assessments are a fixed percentage of income before such assessments.

Three cash dividends totaling $3.11 per share of capital stock were paid to stockholders in the first nine months of 2013.  Three cash dividends totaling $3.50 per share of capital stock were paid in the prior year period.

Financial Condition

Total assets have been steadily growing in the second and third quarters of 2013, after a decline in the first quarter of 2013.  Total assets grew to $121.4 billion at September 30, 2013, up from $117.1 billion at June 30, 2013, $101.9 billion at March 31, 2013 and $103.0 billion at December 31, 2012.   Our mission is to support the liquidity needs of our members.  To meet this mission, our strategy is to keep our balance sheet generally in line with the rise and fall of amounts borrowed by members in the form of advances.  At September 30, 2013, total Advances to members as a percentage of total assets was 73.4%, relatively in the same range as 72.3% at June 30, 2013, 70.4% at March 31, 2013, and 73.7% at December 31, 2012.

One member’s outstanding borrowing stood at $21.7 billion at September 30, 2013; $8.5 billion is expected to mature within six months; $6.5 billion within one year, and $5.8 billion within two years.  We are unable to predict with certainty if the borrowings will be rolled-over at their maturities.  The aggregate amount borrowed by the member was $20.2 billion at June 30, 2013, up from $10.7 billion at March 31, 2013 and $12.1 billion at December 31, 2012.  Amounts outstanding are floating rate LIBOR-indexed advances.

Primarily due to the borrowing activities of the large member, advance balances increased to $89.1 billion at September 30, 2013, significantly up from $75.9 billion at December 31, 2012.  Also, see concentration information presented in Note 20.  Segment Information and Concentration, including a discussion of a pending merger between two member institutions, which is expected to result in the prepayment of advances borrowed by Hudson City, a member and the potential merged institution.  The amount outstanding to Hudson City was $6.0 billion at September 30, 2013.  The timing of the prepayment is uncertain.  The merger is expected in the first quarter of 2014.

Our liquidity position remained in compliance with all regulatory requirements and we do not foresee any changes to that position.  Net cash generated from operating activities was in excess of Net income.  We also believe our cash flows from operations, available cash balances and our ability to generate cash through the issuance of consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes are sufficient to fund our operating liquidity needs.

Liquidity in the form of overnight Federal funds sold has continued to be significant, allowing us to warehouse and provide balance sheet liquidity to meet unexpected member borrowing demands.   Federal funds sold averaged

52

$14.9 billion and $13.9 billion in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.  See Table 5.10 for more information.

Our capital remains strong.  At September 30, 2013, actual risk-based capital was $6.5 billion, compared to required risk-based capital of $0.6 billion.  To support $121.4 billion of total assets at September 30, 2013, the required minimum regulatory capital was $4.9 billion, or 4.0% of assets.  Our actual regulatory capital was $6.5 billion, exceeding required capital by $1.6 billion.  To strengthen our financial position, we are continuing to increase retained earnings.  Unrestricted Retained earnings have grown to $823.9 million as of September 30, 2013, up from $797.6 million at December 31, 2012.  Restricted retained earnings have grown to $139.5 million at September 30, 2013, up from $96.2 million at December 31, 2012.  Shareholder’s equity has also benefited from the decline in losses in AOCI, which was a loss of $120.9 million at September 30, 2013, compared to a loss of $199.4 million at December 31, 2012.  The AOCI losses are unrealized, and largely represent adverse changes in the fair values of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges of several discount note issuance programs that create long-term fixed-rate funding.  Losses in AOCI also include liabilities not recognized for unfunded employee benefit retirement plans.  AOCI losses were partly offset by unrealized fair value gains on GSE issued mortgage-backed securities designated as available-for-sale.  For more information, see Note 13. Total Comprehensive Income.

Our primary long-term investment portfolios are comprised primarily of GSE issued mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), a small portfolio of private-label MBS, bonds issued by state and local government housing agencies, and the MPF portfolio of mortgage loans.  Investment securities were classified as either held-to-maturity or as available-for-sale.  We had no securities designated for trading.  Mortgage loans under the MPF program were classified as held-for-portfolio.

·Investments in the held-to-maturity portfolio at September 30, 2013 totaled $12.0 billion, comprised of $10.9 billion of GSE and agency issued MBS, $420.1 million of private-label MBS, and $727.9 million of bonds issued by housing finance agencies.  We have not acquired any private-label mortgage-backed security since 2006.  At December 31, 2012, investments designated as held-to-maturity totaled $11.1 billion and the composition of the portfolio was almost the same as of September 30, 2013.

·Investments designated as available-for-sale securities totaling $1.7 billion at September 30, 2013 were almost exclusively comprised of GSE issued securities.  The comparable balance was $2.3 billion at December 31, 2012.  No acquisitions were made in the three quarters in 2013, as market pricing did not meet our risk/reward preferences, and the portfolio declined in line with contractual paydowns.

·Market pricing of GSE-issued investment securities has continued to improve as liquidity has gradually returned to the market and fair values generally generated unrealized gains in each of the three quarters in 2013, and at December 31, 2012.  Fair values of private-label MBS has also improved, and only a small percentage of the portfolio was exhibiting fair value losses.  Our view continues to be that the private-label instruments may not have an active market because of the specific vintage of the securities as well as inherent conditions surrounding the trading of private-label MBS, so that the inputs to the pricing may not be market based and observable.

·Investments in housing finance agency obligations had gross unrealized losses totaling $55.4 million and $56.0 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The unrealized losses were in a continuous loss position for periods of 12 months or longer at those dates.  We have analyzed the fair values of the bonds, and have concluded that the gross unrealized losses were due to an illiquid market for such securities, causing these investments to be valued at a discount to their acquisition cost, and we expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.

·Mortgage loans were investments in Mortgage Partnership Finance loans (“MPF” or “MPF Program”).  We provide this product to members as another alternative for them to sell their mortgage production.  Growth has been steady and moderate.  Outstanding balances of loans under this program increased by $98.9 million to $1.9 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Business Outlook

The following forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the FHLBNY’s management and are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those set forth in such forward-looking statements.

Earnings — Outlook is for lower earnings in 2013 relative to 2012, as we believe interest margin will continue to be under pressure.  Balance sheet growth due to growth in advance balances is likely to be positive for our earnings, but we still expect 2013 earnings to remain below net income for 2012.

We do not expect short-term rates, including LIBOR, to rise significantly, and if the low LIBOR continues, it will create pressure on our interest income and interest margins.  Higher yielding advances, which are generally long-term fixed rate advances are typically swapped to the 3-month LIBOR, and as a result of the low LIBOR, the effective “after swap yields” have also declined.  A low LIBOR also tends to cause FHLBank issued debt to be issued at narrow spreads to LIBOR, effectively driving up the cost of funds for FHLBanks, including the FHLBNY.  In a swap of the FHLBank debt, the swap counterparty is paid a LIBOR minus a spread; in return, the swap dealer is paid the fixed rate associated with the debt.  When the 3-month LIBOR is very low, there is very little room for the sub-LIBOR spread to widen in line with the credit quality differential between LIBOR and FHLBank issued debt.

The FRB’s recent signal for the continuation of an accommodative policy has caused short-term rates to decline further, and as discussed previously, it could negatively impact our funding costs.  In addition, if the FRB continues its policy to purchase additional GSE issued mortgage-backed securities “until the outlook for the labor market improves”, that could result in MBS pricing that may not meet our risk-reward MBS acquisition criteria, and would

53

impact future earnings, as investments in MBS, while being mission consistent, also supplement our earnings from advances.

Advances — One large member’s increased borrowings in 2013 have kept advance balances from declining as borrowing activity from the membership in general has remained weak.  We are unable to predict the timing and extent of the expected recovery in the U.S. economy, particularly the recovery in the housing market, or whether to expect continued stability in the financial markets.   Against that backdrop, we believe it is also difficult to predict member demand for advances, which is the primary focus of our operations and the principal factor that impacts our operating results.  We expect limited demand for large intermediate-term advances because many members have adequate liquidity, and other members may be reluctant to borrow intermediate and long-term advances because of the expectation of an extended period of very low interest rates.

Generally, the growth or decline in advances is reflective of demand by members for both short-term liquidity and long-term funding driven by economic factors such as availability of alternative funding sources that are more attractive (e.g. consumer deposits), the interest rate environment and the outlook for the economy.   Members may choose to prepay advances, based on their expectations of interest rate changes and demand for liquidity.  Demand for advances may also be influenced by the dividend payout rate to members on their investment in our stock.  Members are required to invest in our capital stock in the form of membership stock.   Members are also required to purchase activity stock in order to borrow advances.   Advance volume is also influenced by merger activity where members are either acquired by non-members, or acquired by members of another FHLBank.   When our members are acquired by members of another FHLBank or by a non-member, the former member no longer qualifies for membership in the FHLBNY.   We cannot renew outstanding advances or provide new advances to non-members.  Subsequent to the merger, maturing advances may not be replaced, which has an immediate impact on short-term and overnight advance lending if the former member borrowed such advances.  Also, see Item 1A. Risk Factors in the most recent Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2013 for a discussion on concentration risk.

Pending merger of FHLBNY member banks — Hudson City Savings Bank and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company — For more information, see Note 20. Segment Information and Concentration.

Credit impairment of investment securities — No OTTI was recorded thus far in 2013, and when cash flow shortfalls were observed for a few bonds, market pricing of those bonds were greater than the carrying values of the bonds, making it unnecessary to record OTTI losses.  Without continued recovery in the near term such that liquidity continues to expand in the mortgage-backed securities market, or if the credit losses of the underlying collateral within the mortgage-backed securities perform worse than expected, we could face additional credit losses.

Demand for FHLBank debt — Our primary source of funds is the sale of consolidated obligations in the capital markets, and our ability to obtain funds through the sale of consolidated obligations depends in part on prevailing conditions in the capital markets, which are beyond our control.  If we cannot access funding when needed on acceptable terms, our ability to support and continue operations could be adversely affected, which could negatively affect financial condition and results of operations.   The pricing of our longer-term debt remains at levels that are still higher than historical levels, relative to LIBOR.   To the extent we receive sub-optimal funding, our member institutions in turn may experience higher costs for advance borrowings.   To the extent the FHLBanks may not be able to issue long-term debt at economical spreads relative to the 3-month LIBOR, borrowing choices may also be limited for our members.

Rating Actions — In July 2013, as a result of affirming the U.S. Government’s Aaa debt rating with the outlook updated to stable from negative, Moody’s affirmed the Aaa long-term deposit ratings of all of the FHLBanks as well as the Aaa long-term bond rating of the FHLBank System and updated the outlook to stable from negative.  At the same time, Moody’s affirmed the Prime-1 short-term deposit ratings of all of the FHLBanks and the Prime-1 short-term bond rating of the FHLBank System.  Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) has also updated its outlook on the U.S. and the FHLBanks debt to stable from negative, but continues to rate the US. Government and the FHLBanks debt as AA+.  Any rating actions on the US Government would likely result in all individual FHLBanks’ long-term deposit ratings and the FHLBank System long-term bond rating moving in lock step with any US sovereign rating action.  See FHLBNY Ratings Table 7.11 for more details about ratings and recent rating actions by Moody’s and S&P.

Results of Operations

The following section provides a comparative discussion of the FHLBNY’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.  For a discussion of the significant accounting estimates used by the FHLBNY that affect the results of operations, see Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates in Note 1 in the audited financial statements included in our most recent Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2013.

Net Income

Interest income from advances is the principal source of revenue.  Other sources of revenue are interest income from investment securities, mortgage loans in the MPF portfolio, and short-term funds invested in Federal funds sold. The primary expense is interest paid on consolidated obligations debt.  Other expenses are Compensation and benefits, Operating expenses, and Assessments on Net income.  Other significant factors affecting our Net income include the volume and timing of investments in mortgage-backed securities, prepayments of advances, charges due to debt repurchases, gains and losses from derivatives and hedging activities, and earnings from investing our shareholders’ capital.

Summarized below are the principal components of Net income (in thousands):

Net Income — Third quarter 2013 vs. Third quarter 2012

In the 2013 third quarter, a correcting adjustment of $17.2 million was made for overstatement of Net gains on derivatives and hedging activities gains in the third and fourth quarter of 2012 and the first and second quarter of 2013.  The correction had a negative impact of $15.5 million (after AHP Assessments) on Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

·2013 third quarter Net income was also lower than the same quarter in the prior year primarily due to lower Net interest income.  Primary drivers were change in advance product mix, and the low LIBOR, which

56

negatively impacted margins.  The mix of advances borrowed by members has changed and a greater percentage is comprised of variable-rate advances which reset at intervals of 3-months or less at the then prevailing LIBOR.  As that rate has declined, the yields from those advances have declined.  The low LIBOR has also driven down the effective after swap yields for longer term fixed-rate advances which are typically hedged to create synthetic LIBOR indexed interest income.

·Other income (loss) was a net loss of $15.0 million in the 2013 third quarter versus a net gain of $3.1 million for same period in 2012.

·The impact of fair value changes from derivatives and hedging activities was a loss of $12.1 million in the 2013 third quarter, after recording negative adjustments of $17.2 million to correct prior period derivative valuation errors, as discussed previously.  In the same quarter in 2012, derivatives and hedging activities reported a gain of $15.0 million, which included $0.3 million of overstated gains.

·Financial instruments elected under the FVO reported a net loss of $5.5 million in the current year period, compared to a net loss of $9.4 million in the prior year period.  Fair value losses were driven primarily by declining market observable yields of equivalent tenor FHLBank debt.   Fair values of balance sheet debt move inversely to market observed yields.

·No debt was retired in the current year period, as we did not experience significant advance prepayments in the period; debt retired in the prior year period resulted in a charge of $4.5 million.  Typically debt retirement follows asset prepayment, and debt retirement re-aligns asset/liability mix.

·No OTTI was recorded in the 2013 third quarter versus an insignificant charge recorded in the 2012 third quarter.

·Service fee income was substantially unchanged period-over-period.

·Operating expenses, Compensation and benefits, and shared expenses paid for the Finance Agency and the Office of Finance were substantially unchanged quarter-over-quarter.

Net Income — Nine months ended September 30, 2013 vs. Nine months ended September 30, 2012

Net income (after AHP Assessments) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was reduced by $4.5 million (after AHP Assessments) due to the out-of-period adjustment for overstated hedging gains reported in 2012.

·2013 Net income was also lower compared to the same period in 2012 due to lower Net interest income.  Net interest margin from advances declined period-over-period.

·Other income (loss) was a net gain of $6.2 million in the 2013 period, compared to a net gain of $19.6 million in the 2012 period.

·The impact of fair value changes from derivatives and hedging activities in the 2013 period was a gain of $2.2 million, net of the negative out-of-period adjustment of $5.0 million to correct overstated hedging gains in 2012.

·The impact of fair value changes from derivatives and hedging activities in the 2012 period was a gain of $38.8 million, driven primarily by favorable fair value changes of standalone derivatives in economic hedges of debt.  Interest rate basis swaps were structured to pay 3-month LIBOR cash flows to swap dealers, and to receive federal funds indexed cash flows, and the 1-month LIBOR cash flows.  The swaps were economic hedges of floating rate debt with coupons other than the 3-month LIBOR.  Due to the narrowing of the spreads between the 3-month LIBOR and the two other indices, the swaps gained value.  Economic hedges also included pay floating rate (primarily 3-month LIBOR) and receive fixed-rate interest rate swaps in economic hedges of short and intermediate-term consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes, elected under the FVO.  The forward swap curve declined at September 30, 2012 for the short tenors of the swaps, resulting in favorable fair value gains on swaps in economic hedges.

·Instruments elected under the FVO reported a net gain of $5.5 million in the current year period, versus a net loss of $0.1 million in the prior year period.

·Debt retirement expenses were $8.9 million in the current year period, compared to $24.1 million in the prior year period.

·Service fee income was substantially unchanged period-over-period.

·Operating expenses, Compensation and benefits, and shared expenses paid for the Finance Agency and the Office of Finance were substantially unchanged period-over-period.

Analysis of Allowance for Credit Losses

·Mortgage loans held-for-portfolio — Charge-offs and allowances and changes period-over-period have not been material.  We evaluated impaired conventional mortgage loans on an individual loan-by-loan basis and compared the fair values of collateral (net of liquidation costs) to recorded investment values in order to measure credit losses on impaired loans.   Collateral values of loans deemed to be impaired have stabilized in the New York and New Jersey sectors, and the low loan loss reserves are reflective of the stability in home prices in our residential loan markets.  FHA/VA (Insured mortgage loans) guaranteed loans were evaluated collectively for impairment, and no allowance was deemed necessary.

·Advances — Our credit risk from advances in all periods in this report was concentrated in commercial banks, savings institutions and insurance companies.   All advances were fully collateralized during their entire term.   In addition, borrowing members pledged their stock in the FHLBNY as additional collateral

57

for advances.  We have not experienced any losses on credit extended to any member since the FHLBNY’s inception.  Based on the collateral held as security and prior repayment history, no allowance for losses was currently deemed necessary.

·Total Other income (loss) - See Table 1.11

·Total Other Expenses - See Table 1.15

·Assessments - See Table 2.1

Interest Income

Interest income from advances, investments in mortgage-backed securities and MPF loans are our principal sources of income.  Changes in both rate and intermediation volume (average interest-yielding assets) explain the change in the current year periods from the prior year periods. Reported interest income is net of the impact of cash flows associated with interest rate swaps hedging fixed rate advances that were converted to floating rate generally indexed to short-term LIBOR.

The principal categories of Interest Income are summarized below (dollars in thousands):

Accounting Changes (See Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates in Note 1 in the most recent Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2013.)  Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2012, the FHLBNY changed the method of presenting amortization of fair value hedge basis adjustments of modified advances.  The presentation of Interest Income from advances in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was reclassified to conform to the classification adopted commencing in the fourth quarter of 2012.  The change in presentation increased Interest Income in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 by $30.1 million and $88.3 million, with a corresponding decrease in Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) from derivatives and hedging activities in Other income for the same period.  As this was a reclassification change in accounting presentation, Net income was not impacted in any periods.

(a)	Interest income from advances — Despite higher average advance balances in the current year periods, Interest income from advances was lower in the 2013 periods compared to the same periods in 2012 primarily due to lower coupons in the 2013 periods. Net yields from advances were 53 bps and 56 bps in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, lower by 16 bps and 19 bps period-over-period compared to 2012. As the portfolios of floating-rate advances or shorter term advances have grown, their coupons have re-priced to lower yields in parallel with declining short-term interest rates, specifically the 3-month and 1-month LIBOR. The low LIBOR has also had an adverse impact on yields from fixed-rate medium and long-term advances, which are typically swapped to the 3-month LIBOR, and as a result of the low LIBOR, the effective “after swap yields” have also declined. See Table 1.3 for a summary of the impact of fair value hedges on Interest income from advances.
(b)	Represents interest income from collateral posted to derivative counterparties — The overnight federal funds effective rate, which is the contractual coupon from cash collateral, has declined in line with the general decline in overnight and short-term rates.
(c)	Interest income from investments in overnight Federal funds - The overnight federal funds rate has declined in line with the general decline in overnight and short-term rates.
(d)	Interest income from investments — Overall yields from investments, primarily GSE issued mortgage-backed securities were 193 bps and 194 bps in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, well below yields earned in the same periods in 2012 (see Table 1.9 Spread and Yield Analysis). Yields earned from investments in MBS have been declining as vintage fixed-rate MBS, with higher coupons, have paid down; they have been replaced by lower yielding fixed-rate bonds. Floating rate MBS generally indexed to a spread over LIBOR have yielded lower interest income in parallel with declining LIBOR. The Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing programs have pushed yields down and prices up for new acquisitions, as the FRB is committed to purchasing large quantities of agency MBS at a time when supply is stable to lower.
(e)	Interest income from mortgage loans — Interest income from MPF loans have increased due to increased volume of loans, although yields were lower in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, relative to the same periods in 2012.

Impact of hedging advances

We have executed interest rate swaps to modify the effective interest rate terms of many of our fixed-rate advance products and typically all of our putable advances, effectively converting a fixed-rate stream of cash flows from fixed-rate advances to a floating-rate stream of cash flows, typically indexed to LIBOR.   The cash flow patterns achieved our interest rate risk management practices of synthetically converting much of our fixed-rate interest exposures to a LIBOR exposure.

58

The table below summarizes interest income earned from advances and the impact of interest rate derivatives (in thousands):

Table 1.3:Impact of Interest Rate Swaps on Interest Income Earned from Advances

	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,
	2013			2012			2013			2012
Advance Interest Income
Advance interest income before adjustment for interest rate swaps	$	368,764		$	431,201		$	1,108,856		$	1,317,937
Net interest adjustment from interest rate swaps (a)	(255,141		)	(297,789		)	(784,460		)	(912,868		)
Total Advance interest income reported	$	113,623		$	133,412		$	324,396		$	405,069

(a) Two primary factors have contributed to lower amounts of net interest paid to swap counterparties in the derivative hedging transactions. In the low interest rate environment, the spread between the fixed-rate payments made to swap counterparties and the 3-month LIBOR received from swap counterparties, has narrowed, effectively driving down the net payments to swap counterparties.

Interest Expense

Our primary source of funding is through the issuance of consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes in the global debt markets. Consolidated obligation bonds are medium- and long-term bonds, while discount notes are short-term instruments.   To fund our assets, our management considers our interest rate risk and liquidity requirements in conjunction with consolidated obligation buyers’ preferences and capital market conditions when determining the characteristics of debt to be issued.   Typically, we have used fixed-rate callable and non-callable bonds to fund mortgage-related assets and advances.   Discount notes are generally issued to fund advances and investments with shorter interest rate reset characteristics.

Changes in rate and intermediation volume (average interest-costing liabilities), the mix of debt issuances between bonds and discount notes, and the impact of hedging strategies explain the changes in interest expense.  Reported Interest Expense is net of the impact of hedge strategies, the primary strategy being Fair Value hedge strategy that creates LIBOR-indexed funding, and to a lesser extent the Cash Flow hedge strategy that creates long-term fixed-rate funding to lock in future net interest margin. The principal categories of Interest expense are summarized below (dollars in thousands):

Table 1.4:Interest Expenses — Principal Categories

	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,
					Percentage						Percentage
	2013		2012		Change		2013		2012		Change
Interest Expense
Consolidated obligations-bonds (a)	$	73,557	$	94,110	21.84	%	$	221,129	$	291,344	24.10	%
Consolidated obligations-discount notes (a)	17,620		16,999		(3.65	)	51,708		39,938		(29.47	)
Deposits	134		150		10.67		445		572		22.20
Mandatorily redeemable capital stock (b)	250		398		37.19		732		1,572		53.44
Cash collateral held and other borrowings	—		4		NM		4		28		85.71
Total interest expense	$	91,561	$	111,661	18.00	%	$	274,018	$	333,454	17.82	%

(a)Cost of funds have declined in parallel with lower interest rates (specifically LIBOR) in the 2013 periods.  We make extensive use of interest rate swaps to restructure fixed rate payments on consolidated bonds to sub-LIBOR floating rate payments, and the low 3-month LIBOR has continued to narrow FHLBank debt yields relative to LIBOR, and specifically for our short-term debt.  This has effectively driving up the cost of debt.  When the 3-month LIBOR is very low, there is very little “room” for the sub-LIBOR spread to widen to reflect the credit quality differential between the double-A rated LIBOR and triple-A rated FHLBank debt.

Additionally, interest expense from bonds was also lower in the 2013 periods due to lower usage, as represented by lower average outstanding balances.  The funding mix changed in the 2013 periods relative to same periods in 2012.  To fund the balance sheet, discount notes were utilized with greater emphasis in the 2013 periods compared to 2012.  On average, bonds made up 61.2% and 64.4% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, down from 69.9% and 71.8% in the same periods in 2012.

(b)Interest expense on mandatorily redeemable capital stock - Holders of mandatorily redeemable capital stock are paid dividends at the same rate as all stockholders.  The dividend payments are classified as interest payments in conformity with accounting rules.  Payments have declined due to the decline in dividend rates in the 2013 periods, compared to the same periods in 2012.  Average balances have also declined as certain advances to non-members matured and stock was re-purchased by the FHLBNY.

Impact of hedging debt

Derivative strategies are primarily used to manage the interest rate risk inherent in fixed-rate debt, by converting the fixed-rate funding to floating-rate debt that is indexed to 3-month LIBOR, our preferred funding base.  The strategies are designed to protect future interest margins.

A substantial percentage of non-callable fixed-rate debt is swapped to plain vanilla 3-month LIBOR indexed cash flows.  We also issue fixed-rate callable debt that is typically issued with the simultaneous execution of cancellable interest rate swaps to modify the effective interest rate terms and the effective durations of our fixed-rate callable debt.  These strategies are accomplished by utilizing Fair Value hedging and benefit us in two principal ways.   First, the issuances of fixed-rate debt and the simultaneous execution of interest rate swaps convert the debt to an adjustable-rate instrument tied to the 3-month LIBOR.  Second, fixed-rate callable bonds, in conjunction with interest rate swap containing a call feature that mirrors the option embedded in the callable bond, enables us to meet our funding needs at yields not otherwise directly attainable through the issuance of callable debt.

We may also issue floating rate debt indexed to other than the 3-month LIBOR (Prime, Federal funds rate, and 1-month LIBOR).  Typically, we would then execute interest rate swaps that would convert the cash flows to the 3-month LIBOR.  We would generally designate the hedge as an economic hedge.

59

We also synthetically create long-term fixed rate funding to fund long-term investments.   Certain discount notes are hedged in a Cash Flow hedging strategy that have converted forecasted long-term variable-rate funding to fixed-rate funding by the use of long-term swaps.   For such discount notes, the recorded interest expense is equivalent to long-term fixed rate coupons.

The table below summarizes interest expense paid on consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes and the impact of interest rate swaps (in thousands):

Table 1.5:Impact of Interest Rate Swaps on Consolidated Obligation Interest Expense

	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,

Total Consolidated bonds and discount notes-interest expense reported	$	91,177		$	111,109		$	272,837		$	331,282

(a)In aggregate, hedge strategies have reduced funding in each period.  Two primary factors contributed to the declining net interest adjustments from the hedging transactions.  Spreads between fixed payments received from swap dealers and 3-month LIBOR paid to the dealers have narrowed period-over-period, effectively driving up debt yields on a swapped out basis.  Also, as bond utilization in the funding mix has declined, the volume of hedging transactions have also declined and was another factor in the change period-over-period.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is impacted by a variety of factors: (1) transaction volumes, as measured by average balances of interest earning assets, and by (2) the prevailing balance sheet yields, as measured by coupons on earning assets minus yields paid on interest-costing liabilities, after including the impact of the cash flows paid or received on interest rate derivatives that qualified under hedge accounting rules. The following table summarizes Net interest income (dollars in thousands):

Impact of lower interest income from investing member capital — In the very low interest rate environment, our earnings from interest free capital and non-interest bearing liabilities have not been significant contributors.  We earn interest income from investing our members’ capital to fund interest-earning assets.   Such earnings are sensitive to the changes in short-term interest rates (Rate effects), and changes in the average outstanding capital and non-interest bearing liabilities (Volume effects).  Typically, we invest capital and net non-interest costing liabilities (“deployed capital”) to fund short-term investment assets that yield money market rates.  The most significant element of deployed capital is Capital stock, which increases or decreases in parallel with the volume of advances borrowed by members, and non-interest earning liabilities.  As capital is typically invested in short-term interest yielding assets, the prevailing short-term rate is another significant element in measuring the impact of earnings from members’ capital. In the 2013 periods, capital has increased in parallel with increase in Advances.  At the same time, opportunities for investing in short-term assets and meeting our risk/reward preferences have been limited, and we have opted to maintain our liquidity at the FRB.  See Table 1.9 Spread and Yield Analysis for more information on Capital stock and yield information.

Impact of qualifying hedges on Net interest income — We deploy hedging strategies to protect future net interest income that may reduce income in the short-term.   Net interest accruals of derivatives designated in a fair value or cash flow hedge that qualify under hedge accounting rules are recorded as adjustments to the interest income or interest expense associated with hedged assets or liabilities.

The following table summarizes the impact of net interest adjustments from hedge qualifying interest-rate swaps (in thousands):

(a)Interest income and expense are sensitive to changes in the relationship between our fixed-rate cash instruments and LIBOR, but our margin as measured in percentage points or basis points is stable, and we are generally indifferent to changes in the cash flow patterns, as the interest rate swap contracts achieve our overall net interest spread objective.

(a)For the most part, economic hedges outstanding at September 30, 2013 were associated with — (1) Basis swaps that hedged floating-rate consolidated obligation debt indexed to the 1-month LIBOR in a strategy that converted floating-rate debt indexed to the 1-month LIBOR to the 3-month LIBOR cash flows (in a pay 3-month LIBOR, receive 1-month LIBOR interest rate exchange swap transaction), and (2) Swaps that hedged debt elected under the FVO (generally in a pay 3-month LIBOR, receive fixed-rate interest rate swap transaction).  In the 2013 periods, we have elected greater amounts of debt elected under the FVO, and was a factor driving the increase in interest adjustments period-over-period.

(b)Explanation of the use of non-GAAP measures of Net Spread, return on assets (“ROA”) used in the table above.  These are non-GAAP financial measures used by management that we believe are useful to investors and stockholders in understanding our operational performance as well as business and performance trends.  Although we believe these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investor and members’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.

(a)Reported yields with respect to advances and consolidated obligations may not necessarily equal the coupons on the instruments as derivatives are extensively used to change the yield and optionality characteristics of the underlying hedged items.  Average balance sheet information is presented, as it is more representative of activity throughout the periods presented.  For most components of the average balances, a daily weighted average balance is calculated for the period.  When daily weighted average balance information is not available, a simple monthly average balance is calculated.  Average yields are derived by dividing income by the average balances of the related assets, and average costs are derived by dividing expenses by the average balances of the related liabilities.  Yields and rates are annualized.

(a)Service fees and other — Service fees are derived primarily from providing correspondent banking services to members, including fees earned on standby financial letters of credit.  Increase in issuance of financial letters of credit in the 2013 periods was offset by lower other fees.

(b)Instruments held at fair value under the Fair Value Option — Fair value net losses of $5.5 million were recorded for the current year third quarter.  At September 30, 2013, observed market yields of FHLBank issued debt declined in parallel with rising debt pricing, causing fair values of debt elected under the FVO to decline by $7.6 million, since fair values of balance sheet debt are inversely sensitive to debt pricing.  The base fair values of advances are priced off the FHLBank issued debt, and decline in debt yields made a favorable contribution of $2.1 million on fair values of advances elected under the FVO.  In contrast, on a nine month basis, fair value changes in the 2013 period resulted in a recognition of net gains of $5.5 million, primarily due to reversal of unrealized fair value losses of FVO debt that had matured in the 2013 second quarter.  Fair values are recorded in the balance sheet at their market observable pricing, and the offsetting period-over-period changes are recorded in the Income statement in Other income.  At issuance of the instruments, or as the instruments approach maturity, fair values of financial instruments will generally be close to par.  See FVO disclosures in Note 17.  Fair Values of Financial Instruments.

(c)Net impairment losses recognized in earnings on held-to-maturity securities — No credit OTTI was recorded in the 2013 periods.  De minimis losses were identified in the previous quarter.  However, the fair values of the bonds were in excess of their amortized cost, including the shortfall, and it was not necessary to record a credit loss.  In a period when cash flow analysis identifies credit losses that exceed fair value, our policy is to cap the loss to a floor equal to its amortized cost.   In the 2012 periods, recorded OTTI was not significant.

(d)Net realized and unrealized (losses) gains on derivatives and hedging activities — See Table 1.13 for detailed analysis.

(e)Earnings Impact of Debt extinguishment and sales of investment securities — See Table 1.12 for discussions and analysis.

Debt buy back costs

We retire debt principally to reduce future debt costs or when the associated asset is either prepaid or terminated early, and less frequently from prepayments of mortgage-backed securities.   The Bank has continued to implement its debt buy back strategy to protect future income.  As advances are prepaid ahead of their maturity or call dates, we re-purchase debt to re-align the Bank’s asset-liability mix.  In the absence of significant asset prepayments in the 2013 third quarter, it was not necessary to retire debt.

The following tables summarize debt extinguished and its impact on earnings (in thousands):

(a)From time to time, we may sell investment securities classified as available-for-sale, or on an isolated basis may be asked by the issuer of a security, which we have classified as held-to-maturity, to redeem the investment security.   There were insignificant gains from such redemptions in the 2012 periods.

Earnings Impact of Derivatives and Hedging Activities

For the FHLBNY, hedging gains and losses are primarily from two sources.  Hedge ineffectiveness from hedges that qualify under hedge accounting rules (fair value effects of derivatives, net of the fair value effects of hedged items), and fair value changes of standalone derivatives in an economic hedge (fair value changes of derivatives without the offsetting fair value changes of the hedged items).

Generally, the largest source of gains or losses from hedging activities arise from derivatives designated as standalone derivatives, although for both categories (derivatives that are standalone; and derivatives and hedged items that qualify under hedge accounting rules), gains and losses are unrealized and sum to zero if held to maturity. Standalone derivatives comprised of swaps in economic hedges of debt elected under the FVO, interest rate caps in economic hedges of capped floating-rate MBS, and basis swaps hedging floating-rate debt indexed to the 1-month LIBOR.

64

In the third quarter, derivatives and hedging activities resulted in net losses of $12.1 million in the 2013 period, in contrast to net gains of $15.0 million in the same period in 2012.  In the nine month period, derivatives and hedging activities resulted in net gains of $2.2 million in the 2013 period, compared to $38.8 million in the same period in 2012.  Primary drivers are discussed below:

Standalone derivatives. - In the third quarter, fair value changes of derivatives designated in economic hedges (also referred to as standalone derivatives) resulted in the recognition of net gains of $3.6 million in the 2013 period, versus net gains of $14.0 in the prior year period.  In the 2013 period, the primary drivers were favorable market value changes of swaps hedging debt elected under the FVO that resulted in the recognition of $7.2 million in fair value gains, partly offset by unfavorable changes in the fair values of interest rate caps, which reported a net loss of $3.9 million.  In the declining rate environment at September 30, 2013 relative to June 30, 2013, cap values have declined.  In the prior year third quarter, swaps in economic hedges of debt contributed gains of $18.4 million, offset partly by $4.6 million in unfavorable changes in the valuation of interest rate caps.

In the nine month period, standalone derivatives reported a net gain of $2.7 million in the 2013 period , compared to a net gain of $37.4 million in the 2012 period.  Changes in the valuation of basis swaps in economic hedges of floating rate debt indexed to other than the 3-month LIBOR hedging were favorable as were changes in swaps hedging debt elected under the FVO, and together the valuation changes resulted in net gains of $47.0 million.  Gains were partly offset by a decline in the valuation of interest rate caps in a then declining interest rate environment at September 30, 2012, relative to December 31, 2011, and $11.8 million in fair value losses were recognized.

Benchmark qualifying hedges - In the 2013 third quarter, fair value changes from qualifying benchmark hedges reported a net loss of $15.7 million, primarily due to the recording in the quarter of a cumulative negative adjustment of $17.2 million.  The adjustment was to correct overstated hedging gains of $12.2 million in the first 6 months of 2013 and $5.0 million in 2012.  Absent the correction, hedging gains from fair value hedges would have resulted in a net gain of $1.5 million in the 2013 third quarter, an illustration of the highly-effective correlation of the swaps and the associated hedged items.  In the 2012 third quarter, the earnings impact from fair value hedges was a gain of $1.0 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, fair value changes from qualifying benchmark hedges reported a net loss of $0.5 million, which included an out-of-period adjustment of $5.0 million to correct overstated hedging gains from 2012.  In the same period in 2012, a net gain of $1.4 million was recorded.

(a)Net interest accruals on interest rate swaps that qualify under the hedge accounting rules are recorded within interest income or interest expense.  Amortization of basis adjustments (typically when a qualifying hedge is terminated) is also recorded as a component of interest income or expense. See Table 1.3 for recorded amounts of interest expense paid to swap counterparties in hedges of advances; also, see Table 1.5 for recorded amounts of interest income received from swap counterparties in hedges of debt.

Impact of Cash flow hedging on earnings and AOCI

The two primary cash flow hedging strategies in the 2013 periods were:

Hedges of anticipated issuances of consolidated obligation bonds — From time to time, we have executed interest rate swaps on the anticipated issuance of debt and to lock in a spread between the earning asset and the cost of funding.   The maximum period of time that we typically hedge our exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions to issue consolidated obligation bonds is between three and six months.   At September 30, 2013 (None at December 31, 2102), we had $31.5 million in notionals amounts of open contracts to hedge the anticipated issuances of debt.

The swaps are valued at the end of each reporting period.  The effective portion of changes in the fair values of the swaps is recorded in AOCI, and ineffectiveness, if any, is recorded through earnings.   The swap is terminated upon issuance of the debt instrument, and amounts reported in AOCI are reclassified to earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the variability of the cash flows of the debt that was issued.   Over the next 12 months, it is expected that $2.9 million of net losses recorded in AOCI from previously terminated hedges will be recognized as an interest expense.

Hedges of discount note issuances — We have executed long-term pay-fixed, receive 3-month LIBOR-indexed interest rate swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges of a rollover financing program involving the sequential issuances of fixed-rate 3-month term discount notes over the same period as the term of the swap.   The objective of the hedge is to offset the variability of cash flows attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate (3-month LIBOR).  Discount notes are issued for a 91-day period at a fixed rate and rolled over for another 91-days at the then prevailing interest rate.  The sequential discount note issuance is in parallel with the cash flow payments of the swap every 91 days through the maturity of the swap, hedging the exposure of the variability in the discount note funding cost.  The program in effect creates synthetic fixed-rate funding over the life of the interest rate swap.   The maximum period of time that we hedged exposure to the variability in future cash flows in this program is up to 15 years.

(a)Unrecognized losses from rollover cash flow hedge strategy were $49.9 million at September 30, 2013, versus losses of $124.8 million at December 31, 2012, and represented fair values of interest rate swaps designated in the cash flow strategy to hedge long-term issuance of consolidated obligation discount notes in the rollover program.  These amounts were recorded in the balance sheet as derivative liabilities at those dates, and an offset recorded in AOCI as unrealized losses.   No ineffectiveness was identified in this program.  Long-term swaps are in a pay-fixed, receive-floating rate cash flows, and fair values will move inversely to the rise and fall of long-term swap rates.  Declining losses reflect the rise in long-term swap rates at September 30, 2103, relative to beginning of period swap rates.  Fluctuation in long-term swap rates will determine future changes in such balances in AOCI.  If long-term swap rates decline, unrealized losses are likely to increase; and losses will decrease if long-term swaps rates rise.  We expect the long-term hedge programs to remain in place to their contractual maturities, and fair value losses will sum to zero over those periods. Fair value losses in AOCI also include the unamortized fair value basis of closed cash flow hedges that had hedged anticipatory issuances of debt; unamortized losses were $9.1 million at September 30, 2013 and $12.3 million at December 31, 2012.  See Table 1.14 for changes in cash flow hedges in AOCI. No amounts were reclassified from AOCI 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 in any periods in this report.   Ineffectiveness from hedges designated as cash flow hedges was not significant in any reported periods.

Assessments

Each FHLBank is required to set aside a portion of earnings to fund its Affordable Housing Program (“AHP”).  For more information, see “Affordable Housing Program and Other Mission Related Programs” and “Assessments” under ITEM 1 BUSINESS in the most recent Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2013.  We fulfill our AHP obligations primarily through direct grants to members, who use the funds to assist in the purchase, construction, or rehabilitation of housing for very low-, low- and moderate-income households.   Ten percent of our annual pre-assessment regulatory net income is set aside for the AHP.   The amounts set aside are considered our liability towards our AHP obligations, and AHP grants and subsidies are provided to members out of this liability.

Balance sheet overview September 30, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012

Total assets have grown over each successive quarter since the first quarter in 2013, in parallel with the growth in advances.  Total assets were $121.4 billion at September 30, 2013 up from $103.0 billion at December 31, 2012.   As a result of the borrowing activities of a large member, advance balances have also continued to increase.  Advance balances increased to $89.1 billion at September 30, 2013, up from $75.9 billion at December 31, 2012.  Our mission is to support the liquidity needs of our members.   To meet this mission, our strategy is to keep our balance sheet generally in line with the rise and fall of amounts borrowed by members in the form of advances.  Total advances represented 73.4% of total assets at September 30, 2013, almost unchanged from 73.7% at December 31, 2012.

Advances — Outstanding balances of Advances are presented below:

Table 3.2:Advance Trends

Aside from advances, our primary earning assets were investment portfolios, comprising primarily of GSE-issued mortgage-backed securities, mortgage loans in the MPF program, and overnight Federal funds sold.   We also hold small portfolios of private-label MBS, and bonds issued by state and local government housing agencies.

Investments — At September 30, 2013, $1.7 billion in securities were designated as available-for-sale, and $12.0 billion in securities were designated as held-to-maturity.  GSE issued mortgage-backed securities totaled $12.5 billion, or 91.5 % of the carrying values of all investment securities.  Private-label issued mortgage-backed securities totaled $420.1 million, or 3.1% of total investment securities.  Investments in housing finance agency bonds, primarily those in New York and New Jersey, were $727.9 million, or 5.3% of total investment securities.  The heavy concentration of GSE-issued securities and a declining balance of private-label MBS has been our investment profile for many years.

Investments in mortgage-loans held-for-portfolio — Mortgage loans were investments in Mortgage Partnership Finance loans (“MPF” or “MPF Program”).   Growth has been steady and moderate.  Purchases exceeded paydowns by $98.9 million over the nine months in 2013.  Outstanding balances of loans under this program stood at $1.9 billion at September 30, 2013, compared to $1.8 billion at December 31, 2012.  Credit performance has been strong and delinquency low.  Historical loss experience has been very low.  Residential collateral values have remained stable in the New York and New Jersey sectors, the primary geographic concentration for our MPF portfolio.

Leverage — Balance sheet leverage has been consistently steady over the quarters in 2013.  At September 30, 2013, balance sheet leverage was 19.2 times shareholders’ equity, a little higher than 18.8 times at December 31, 2012 due to higher liquidity at September 30, 2013 in the form of cash balances at the FRB.  Our balance sheet management strategy is to keep the balance sheet change in line with the changes in member demand for advances, although from time to time, we may maintain excess liquidity in highly liquid investments or cash balances at the FRB to meet unexpected member demand for funds.  Increases or decreases in investments have a direct impact on leverage, but generally growth in or shrinkage of advances does not significantly impact balance sheet leverage under existing capital stock management practices.   This is because changes in shareholders’ capital are in line with changes in advances, and the ratio of assets to capital generally remains unchanged.   Under our existing capital management practices, members are required to purchase capital stock to support their borrowings from us, and when capital stock is in excess of the amount that is required to support advance borrowings, we redeem the excess capital stock immediately.   Therefore, stockholders’ capital increases and decreases with members’ advance borrowings, and the capital to asset ratios remain relatively unchanged.

Debt — Our primary source of funds continued to be through the issuance of consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes.   Discount notes are consolidated obligations with maturities up to one year, and consolidated bonds have maturities of one year or longer.  The utilization of discount notes was higher in line with the increase in short-term lending during 2013, with discount notes funding 34.8% of total assets at September 30, 2013, up from 28.9% at December 31, 2012.

Our ability to access the capital markets, which has a direct impact on our cost of funds, is dependent to a degree on our credit ratings from the major ratings organizations.   The FHLBank debt performance has withstood the impact of the rating downgrade by S&P in 2011 to AA+ from AAA and the recent controversy surrounding the debt ceiling.  However, we cannot say with certainty the long-term impact of such actions on our liquidity position, which could be adversely affected by many causes both internal and external to our business.   For more information, see Business Outlook in the MD&A in this report.

Our liquid assets at September 30, 2013, included $11.5 billion in cash at the FRB, $4.9 billion in overnight Federal funds sold, and $1.7 billion in highly-rated GSE securities that were available-for-sale.   Our GSE status enables the FHLBanks to fund our consolidated obligation debt at tight margins to U.S. Treasury.   Our liquidity position remains strong and in compliance with all regulatory requirements, and we do not foresee any changes to that position.

Among other liquidity measures, we are required to maintain sufficient liquidity through short-term investments in an amount at least equal to our anticipated cash outflows under two different scenarios.   The first scenario assumes that we cannot access capital markets for 15 days and that during that period; members do not renew their maturing, prepaid and called advances.   The second scenario assumes that we cannot access the capital markets for five days, and during that period, members renew maturing and “put” advances.   We were in compliance with regulations under both scenarios.  The actual Contingency Liquidity under the 5-day scenario at September 30, 2013 was $29.0 billion, well in excess of the required $3.0 billion.

We also have other liquidity measures in place — Deposit Liquidity and Operational Liquidity, both of which indicated that our liquidity buffers were in excess of required reserves.  For more information about our liquidity measures, please see section “Liquidity, Cash Flows, Short-Term Borrowings and Short-Term Debt”, specifically Tables 10.1 through 10.3, in this MD&A.

Advances

Our primary business is making collateralized loans to members, referred to as advances.   Generally, the growth or decline in advances is reflective of demand by members for both short-term liquidity and term funding.   This demand is driven by economic factors such as availability of alternative funding sources that are more attractive, or by the interest rate environment and the outlook for the economy.   Members may choose to prepay advances (which may generate prepayment penalty fees) based on their expectations of interest rate changes and demand for liquidity.   Advance volume is also influenced by merger activity, where members are either acquired by non-members or acquired by members of another FHLBank.   When our members are acquired by members of another FHLBank or by non-members, these former members no longer qualify for membership and we may not offer renewals or additional advances to the former members, and subsequent to the merger, maturing advances will not be replaced.  This has an immediate impact on short-term and overnight lending if the former member borrowed short-term and overnight advances.

Member demand for advance products

Increase in amounts borrowed in 2013 have been concentrated around short- and medium-term floating rate advances and shorter-term fixed rate advances, driven by one member’s borrowing activity.

Adjustable Rate Advances (“ARC Advances”) — One member’s outstanding borrowing was $21.7 billion at September 30, 2013, and of that amount $8.5 billion is expected to mature within six months; $6.5 billion within one

70

year, and $5.8 billion within  two years.  We are unable to predict with certainty if the borrowings will be rolled-over at their maturities.

ARC advances are medium- and long-term loans that can be linked to a variety of indices, such as 1-month LIBOR, 3-month LIBOR, the Federal funds rate, or Prime.  Members use ARC advances to manage interest rate and basis risks by efficiently matching the interest rate index and repricing characteristics of floating-rate assets.  The interest rate is set and reset (depending upon the maturity of the advance and the type of index) at a spread to that designated index.  Principal is due at maturity and interest payments are due at each reset date, including the final payment date.

Fixed-rate Advances — Fixed-rate advances, comprising putable and non-putable advances, remain the largest category of advances.  Member demand for fixed-rate advances has continued to be weak in 2013 as noted by the decline in outstanding balances at September 30, 2013, compared to December 31, 2012.  Generally, members have rolled over maturing Fixed-rate advances with new Fixed-rate advances.  We believe that members remain uncertain about locking into long-term advances, perhaps because of unfavorable pricing of longer-term advances, an uncertain outlook on the direction and timing of interest rate changes, or lukewarm demand from members’ customer base for longer-term fixed-rate loans.

Fixed-rate advances are flexible funding tools that can be used by members to meet short- to long-term liquidity needs.  Terms vary from two days to 30 years.  A significant composition of Fixed-rate advances consists of advances with a “put” option feature (“putable advance”).  Historically, Fixed-rate putable advances have been more competitively priced relative to fixed-rate “bullet” advances (without put option) because of the “put” feature that we have purchased from the member, driving down the coupon on the advance.  The price advantage of a putable advance increases with the numbers of puts sold and the length of the term of a putable advance.   With a putable advance, we have the right to exercise the put option and terminate the advance at predetermined exercise date(s).  We would normally exercise this option when interest rates rise, and the borrower may then apply for a new advance at the then-prevailing coupon and terms.  In the present interest rate environment, the price advantage has not been significant because of constraints in offering longer-term advances.  Maturing and prepaid putable advances were either not replaced or replaced by bullet advances (without the put feature), and outstanding balances of advances that are putable have declined steadily in 2013 and stood at $14.7 billion at September 30, 2013, compared to $16.2 billion at December 31, 2012.

Fixed-Rate Advance with a LIBOR Cap - Combines a fixed-rate borrowing with an embedded interest-rate cap in which the rate remains fixed but may be reduced quarterly if 3-month LIBOR rises above the pre-selected cap.  The advance provides protection against rising interest rates (lowers borrower’s cost of funds as rates rise).  It is a flexible medium-long-term funding option best used to extend liabilities, potentially enhance spreads, and preserve margins.  This was introduced in the 2013 third quarter.  The balance outstanding at September 30, 2013 was $25.0 million and is included in the category Fixed-rate Advances.

Short-term Advances — Outstanding amounts have steadily grown over the quarters in 2013 to $10.0 billion at September 30, 2013, up from $6.1 billion at December 31, 2012.

Overnight advances — Demand for overnight borrowings have fluctuated during the three quarters in 2013.  Member demand for the Overnight Advances reflects the seasonal needs of certain member banks for their short-term liquidity requirements.  Some large members also use overnight advances to adjust their balance sheet in line with their own leverage targets.  Outstanding balances have stood at around $2.4 billion to $2.6 billion over the last two quarters, up from $1.3 billion at March 31, 2013 and $2.3 billion at December 31, 2012.  The overnight advances program gives members a short-term, flexible, readily accessible revolving line of credit for immediate liquidity needs.  Overnight Advances mature on the next business day, at which time the advance is repaid.

Merger Activity

Merger activity is an important factor and, if significant, would contribute to an uneven pattern in advance balances.  Merger activity may result in the loss of new business if a member is acquired by a non-member.  The FHLBank Act does not permit new advances to replace maturing advances to former members.  Advances held by members who are acquired by non-members may remain outstanding until their contractual maturities.  Merger activity may also result in a decline in the advance book if the acquired member decides to prepay existing advances partially or in full depending on the post-merger liquidity needs.  Hudson City, a large member, was expected to merge with M&T, another member, in mid-2013, and Hudson City was expected to prepay advances in mid-2013.  However, the proposed merger has been postponed to 2014.  The amount outstanding to Hudson City was $6.0 billion at September 30, 2013.  The timing of the prepayment is uncertain.  For more information, see Business Outlook in the Executive summary section in this MD&A.

The following table summarizes merger activity, including the impact of voluntary terminations (dollars in thousands):

Prepayment of Advances

Prepayment initiated by members or former members is another important factor that impacts advances.  We charge a prepayment fee when the member or a former member prepays certain advances before the original maturity.

(a)Members’ borrowing needs and balance sheet re-alignment programs are the primary drivers of prepayment activity.  In the 2013 third quarter, prepayment activity was not significant.  Significant prepayment activity in the first quarter of 2013 was the primary driver of the fees recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  In the 2012 periods, prepayment activity was significant in the 2012 second quarter.  Prepayment fees are recorded in Interest income from Advances.  If the prepaid advance is hedged, Prepayment fee represents cash received from members minus the fair value basis of the advance.  For hedged advances that are prepaid, we generally terminate the hedging relationship upon prepayment and adjust the prepayment fees received for the fair value basis of the hedged prepaid advance.  If the prepaid advance is not hedged, cash received represents Prepayment fees.

Advances — Interest Rate Terms

The following table summarizes interest-rate payment terms for advances (dollars in thousands):

(a)Fixed-rate borrowings remained popular with members.  Demand was uneven over the three quarters in 2013.  Demand has grown at a steady pace in the second and third quarters of 2013, after a decline at March 31, 2013.  Members now may be seeing opportunities to lock-in fixed-rate long-term borrowings.

(b)Adjustable-rate LIBOR-based advances have increased due to the borrowing by one large member during 2013.   The FHLBNY’s larger members are generally borrowers of variable-rate advances, and except for the one large member’s borrowing activity, other members have remained on the side-lines in a weak economy and have not increased their borrowings despite the low short-term rates, as it would appear that they have sufficient liquidity in the form of customer deposits.

(c)Typically, capped ARCs are in demand by members in a rising rate environment, as members would purchase cap options to limit their interest rate exposure.   With a capped variable rate advance, we purchase cap options that mirror the terms of the caps sold to members, offsetting our exposure on the advance.

Impact of Derivatives and hedging activities to the balance sheet carrying values of Advances

The carrying values of Advances include hedging basis adjustments (LIBOR benchmark hedging adjustments) for those advances recorded under hedge accounting provisions, or at fair value for those advances elected under the FVO.   Fair value basis adjustments, as measured under the hedging rules, are impacted by hedge volume, the interest rate environment, and the volatility of the interest rates.

When medium- and long-term interest rates rise or fall, the fair values of fixed-rate advances move in the opposite direction, and valuation basis adjustments decline or rise.  Basis adjustments were gains of $2.4 billion and $3.6 billion at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The hedged advances had been issued in prior years at the then-prevailing higher interest rate environment.   In the current lower interest rate environment, fixed-rate advances will exhibit net unrealized fair value basis gains.

Valuation basis adjustment at September 30, 2013 is lower than the balance at December 31, 2012 primarily due to two factors.  Compared to December 31, 2012, the forward swap curve has steepened at September 30, 2013, and certain previously recorded valuation gains declined relative to December 31, 2012.  Also, hedged advances declined by $2.1 billion at September 30, 2013 from December 31, 2012, and that too contributed to the decline in valuation basis adjustments.

The following graph compares the swap curves at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Table 4.7:LIBOR Swap Curve — Graph

Hedge volume — We primarily hedge putable advances and certain “bullet” fixed-rate advances under the hedging accounting provisions when they qualify under those standards, and as economic hedges when the hedge accounting provisions are operationally difficult to establish or a high degree of hedge effectiveness cannot be asserted.

The following table summarizes hedged advances by type of option features (in thousands):

Fair value basis (Qualifying hedging adjustments)	$	2,352,322	$	3,595,396

(a)Generally, non-callable fixed-rate medium and longer term advances are hedged to mitigate the risk in fixed-rate lending.  As the longer tenored advances matured, not renewed, or were replaced by shorter term fixed-rate advances, the Bank has elected not to hedge such advances.  As a result, the volume of hedged advances in this category has declined.

(b)Members have generally not replaced maturing putable advances, and outstanding balances have declined.

(c)Except for an insignificant amount of derivatives that were designated as economic hedges of advances, hedged advances were in a qualifying hedging relationship.  (See Tables 9.1 — 9.7).

Advances elected under the FVO — In the 2013 second and third quarter, one member borrowed significant amounts of LIBOR-indexed advances that were designated under the FVO.  By electing the FVO for an asset instrument, the objective was to offset some of the volatility in earnings due to the designation of debt (liability) under the FVO.  Changes in the fair values of the advance were recorded through earnings, and the offset was recorded as a fair value basis adjustment to the carrying values of the advances.  The following table summarizes par amounts of advances elected under the FVO (in thousands):

(a) Contrasting advances by contractual maturity dates (See Note 7.  Advances) with potential put dates illustrates the impact of hedging on the effective duration of our advances.   Advances borrowed by members included a significant amount of putable advances in which we purchased from members the option to terminate advances at agreed-upon dates.   Typically, almost all putable advances are hedged by cancellable interest rate swaps in which the derivative counterparty has the right to exercise and terminate the swap at par at agreed upon dates.   When the swap counterparty exercises its right to call the cancellable swap, we would typically also exercise our right to put the advance at par.   Under this hedging practice, on a put option basis, the potential exercised maturity is significantly accelerated, and is an important factor in our current hedge strategy.   This is best illustrated by the fact that on a contractual maturity basis, 13.5% of advances would mature after five years, while on a put basis, the percentage declined to 4.6% at September 30, 2013.

The following table summarizes notional amounts of advances that were still putable (one or more pre-determined option exercise dates remaining) (in thousands):

Table 4.11:Putable and Callable Advances

	September 30, 2013 (a)		December 31, 2012 (a)

No-longer putable	$	2,120,000	$	2,072,500

(a) Par value

Member borrowings have been weak for putable advances, which are typically medium- and long-term.   Maturing advances with put features have been replaced by non-callable advances.

Investments

We maintain investments for our liquidity purpose, to fund stock repurchases and redemptions, provide additional earnings, and to ensure the availability of funds to meet the credit needs of our members.  We also maintain longer-term investment portfolios, which are principally mortgage-backed securities issued by GSEs, a smaller portfolio of MBS issued by private enterprises, and securities issued by state or local housing finance agencies.

Pricing of GSE-issued MBS has been tight partly due to limited supply, and partly as a result of the Federal Reserve Bank’s active participation in the market for acquiring GSE-issued MBS.  As a result of the tight pricing, which did not meet our risk/reward expectations, acquisitions have been limited.  Compared to December 31, 2012, the investment portfolio at September 30, 2013 has increased in aggregate by $0.3 billion, acquisitions only slightly outpacing contractual paydowns.

Carrying values of mortgage-backed securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at their fair values, and stood at $1.7 billion at September 30, 2013, compared to $2.3 billion at December 31, 2012.  No securities were acquired for the AFS portfolio in the three quarters in 2013, and contractual paydowns drove balances lower.  Pricing of AFS securities were almost entirely in unrealized fair value gain positions.  All MBS in the AFS portfolio were floating-rate securities that are indexed to LIBOR, and are capped typically between 6.5% and 7.5%.  No securities were sold.

Carrying values of mortgage-backed securities classified as held-to-maturity (“HTM”) were $12.0 billion at September 30, 2013, up from $11.1 billion at December 31, 2012.  The HTM portfolio included $4.5 billion of floating-rate LIBOR indexed MBS, a significant percentage of which were capped between 6.5% and 7.5%.  At December 31, 2012, the comparable amounts of such floating-rate securities were $5.3 billion.  Acquisitions to the HTM portfolio of MBS have also been cautious, with $2.5 billion in acquisitions, versus $1.6 billion in contractual run-offs.

To partly mitigate the potential interest rate exposure of the capped floating-rate MBS investments (AFS and HTM) presented in a scenario where LIBOR exceeds the levels above the capped coupons, an additional $0.8 billion in forward starting interest rate caps were acquired in the 2013 third quarter, adding to the $1.9 billion outstanding at December 31, 2012.  The caps are structured such that if LIBOR rates exceed the pre-determined cap strikes, we would receive cash payments for each period the cap strike is exceeded, making us indifferent if market interest rate exceeds capped coupons of our floating rate MBS.

Investments —Policies and Practices

The Finance Agency issued a final rule, effective June 20, 2011, that incorporates the existing 300 percent of capital and other policy limitations on the FHLBanks’ purchase of mortgage-backed securities and their use of derivatives. In addition, the rule clarifies that a FHLBank is not required to divest securities solely to bring the level of its holdings into compliance with the 300 percent limit, provided that the original purchase of the securities complied with the limits. We were in compliance with these rules at all times.

It is our practice not to lend unsecured funds to members, including overnight Federal funds and certificates of deposit.  Unsecured lending to members is not prohibited by Finance Agency regulations or Board of Directors’ policy.  We are prohibited from purchasing a consolidated obligation issued directly from another FHLBank, but may acquire consolidated obligations for investment in the secondary market after the bond settles.  We made no investments in consolidated obligations during the periods in this report.

The following table summarizes changes in investments by categories (including held-to-maturity securities, available-for-sale securities, and Federal funds sold) (dollars in thousands):

(a)Other than the acquisition of a $55 million housing finance agency bond in the 2013 second quarter, no acquisitions were made thus far in 2013.  Such bonds are classified as HTM securities, and carried at amortized cost.

(b)AFS securities - No acquisitions were made in the first nine months of 2013 and 2012.  AFS securities were GSE issued floating-rate securities, and are carried at fair value.

(c)Grantor Trust is classified as available-for-sale securities, which are reported at fair value.  Trust funds represent investments in registered mutual funds and other fixed-income and equity funds maintained under the grantor trust.  The grantor trust funds current and potential future payments to retirees for supplemental pension plan obligations.

Long-Term Investments

Investments with original long-term contractual maturities were comprised of mortgage- and asset-backed securities, and investment in securities issued by state and local housing agencies.

OTTI - Adverse Case Scenario

At September 30, 2013, we evaluated all private-label MBS under a base case (or best estimate) scenario, and also performed a cash flow analysis under assumptions that forecast increased credit default rates or loss severities, or both.  The stress test scenario and associated results do not represent our current expectations and therefore should not be construed as a prediction of future results, market conditions or the actual performance of these securities.

Table 5.6:Base and Adverse Case Stress Scenarios (a)

No OTTI was recognized in any periods in 2013.  For more information, see Note 5.  Held-to-Maturity Securities.  The results of the adverse case scenario at September 30, 2013 and 2012 are presented below alongside our expected outcome (the base case) (dollars in thousands):

(a) Generally, the Adverse Case is computed by stressing Credit Default Rate and Loss Severity.

(b) At September 30, 2012, we performed an adverse case stress scenario for bonds that were OTTI.  The amount represents credit OTTI recognized in the third quarter of 2012.

In instances where forecasted credit OTTI exceeded fair values, we have capped the recognition of credit OTTI in the base case and in the adverse case to the bond’s amortized cost.  Amounts capped in the determination of OTTI charges were not significant in any periods in this report.

Weighted-average market price offers an analysis of unrealized loss percentage; a comparison of the weighted-average credit support to weighted-average collateral delinquency percentage is another indicator of the credit support available to absorb potential cash flow shortfalls.

Definitions:

(a) Original Weighted-Average Credit Support Percentage represents the average of a cohort of securities by vintage; credit support is defined as the credit protection level at the time the mortgage-backed securities closed.  Support is expressed as a percentage of the sum of: subordinate bonds, reserve funds, guarantees, overcollateralization, divided by the original collateral balance.

(b) Weighted-Average Credit Support Percentage represents the average of a cohort of securities by vintage; credit support is defined as the credit protection level as of the mortgage-backed securities most current payment date.  Support is expressed as a percentage of the sum of: subordinate bonds, reserve funds, guarantees, overcollateralization, divided by the most current unpaid collateral balance.

(c) Weighted-Average Collateral Delinquency Percentage represents the average of a cohort of securities by vintage: collateral delinquency is defined as the sum of the unpaid principal balance of loans underlying the mortgage-backed security where the borrower is 60 or more days past due, or in bankruptcy proceedings, or the loan is in foreclosure, or has become real estate owned divided by the aggregate unpaid collateral balance.

Short-term investments

We typically maintain substantial investments in high quality short- and intermediate-term financial instruments such as certificates of deposit, unsecured overnight and term Federal funds sold to highly rated financial institutions, and secured overnight transactions, under securities purchased with agreement to resell.  These investments provide the liquidity necessary to meet members’ credit needs.  Short-term investments also provide a flexible means of implementing the asset/liability management decisions to adjust liquidity.  We may also invest in certificates of deposit with maturities not exceeding 270 days, issued by major financial institutions, and would be designated as held-to-maturity and recorded at amortized cost.  There were no investments in certificates of deposit in any periods in this report.

Federal funds sold — Federal funds sold represents short-term, unsecured lending to major banks and financial institutions.  The amount of unsecured credit risk that may be extended to individual counterparties is commensurate with the counterparty’s credit quality, which is determined by management based on the credit ratings of counterparty’s debt securities or deposits as reported by Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations.

Overnight and short-term federal funds allow us to warehouse and provide balance sheet liquidity to meet unexpected member borrowing demands.  All investments in Federal funds sold were overnight.

We actively monitor our credit exposures and the credit quality of our counterparties, including an assessment of each counterparty’s financial performance, capital adequacy, and sovereign support as well as related market signals.  As a result of these monitoring activities, we limit or suspend existing exposures, as appropriate.  In addition, we are required to manage our unsecured portfolio subject to regulatory limits, prescribed by the FHFA, our regulator.  The FHFA regulations include limits on the amount of unsecured credit that may be extended to a counterparty or a group of affiliated counterparties, based upon a percentage of eligible regulatory capital and the counterparty’s overall credit rating.  Under these regulations, the level of eligible regulatory capital is determined as the lesser of our regulatory capital or the eligible amount of regulatory capital of the counterparty determined in accordance with FHFA regulation.  The eligible amount of regulatory capital is then multiplied by a stated percentage.  The stated percentage that we may offer for term extensions, which are comprised of on- and off-balance sheet and derivative transactions, of unsecured credit ranges from 1% to 15% based on the counterparty’s credit rating.

FHFA regulation also permits us to extend additional unsecured credit, which could be comprised of overnight extensions and sales of Federal funds subject to continuing contract (we have no continuing arrangements).  Our total unsecured overnight exposure to a counterparty may not exceed twice the regulatory limit for term exposures,

79

resulting in a total exposure limit to a counterparty of 2% to 30% of the eligible amount of regulatory capital based on the counterparty’s credit rating.  We remain in compliance with the regulatory limits established for unsecured credit in all reported periods.

We are prohibited by FHFA regulation from investing in financial instruments issued by non-U.S. entities other than those issued by U.S. branches and agency offices of foreign commercial banks.  Our unsecured credit exposures to domestic counterparties and U.S. subsidiaries of foreign commercial banks, includes the risk that these counterparties have extended credit to non-U.S. counterparties and foreign sovereign governments.  Our unsecured credit exposures to U.S. branches and agency offices of foreign commercial banks includes the risk that, as a result of political or economic conditions in a country, the counterparty may be unable to meet their contractual repayment obligations.  The FHLBNY did not own any financial instruments issued by foreign sovereign governments, including those countries that are members of the European Union.

The table below presents Federal funds sold, the counterparty credit ratings, and the domicile of the counterparty or the domicile of the counterparty’s parent for U.S. branches and agency offices of foreign commercial banks in the U.S. (in thousands):

Table 5.11:Cash Balances at the Federal Reserve Banks

In addition to overnight sales in the Federal funds market, we have maintained liquidity at the Federal Reserve Banks (“FRB”).  The following table summarizes outstanding balances at the FRB at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and the average balances for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (in millions):

Cash Balances with Federal Reserve Banks	$	11,517	$	7,551	$	1,095	$	194	$	764	$	227

Cash collateral pledged to derivative counterparties — All cash posted as pledged collateral to derivative counterparties is reported as a deduction to Derivative liabilities in the Statements of Condition.  Cash posted in excess of required collateral is reported as a component of Derivative assets.  We generally execute derivatives with major financial institutions and enter into bilateral collateral agreements for derivatives that have not yet been approved for clearing by the CFTC.  Such derivatives are also referred to as uncleared derivatives.  For derivative contracts that are mandated for clearing under the Dodd-Frank Act, we have obtained legal netting analysis that provide support for the right of offset of margins.  When our derivatives are in a liability position, counterparties are in a fair value gain position and counterparties are exposed to the non-performance risk of the FHLBNY.  We are required to post cash collateral or margin to mitigate the counterparties’ credit exposure under agreed upon procedures.  For uncleared derivatives, bilateral collateral agreements include certain thresholds and pledge requirements under ISDA agreements that are generally triggered if exposures exceed the agreed-upon thresholds.  For cleared derivatives executed in compliance with CFTC rules, margins are posted daily to cover the exposure presented by our open positions.  Certain triggering events such as a default by the FHLBNY could result in additional margins to be posted by the FHLBNY to our derivative clearing agents.  See “Credit Risk due to Nonperformance by counterparties” in Note 16.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities.  Typically, cash posted as collateral or margin earn interest at the overnight Federal funds rate.  At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had deposited $1.7 billion and $2.5 billion in interest-earning cash as pledged collateral and margins to derivative counterparties.  For more information, see Tables 9.1 — 9.7.

Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio

The portfolio of mortgage loans was primarily comprised of investments in Mortgage Partnership Finance loans (“MPF” or “MPF Program”).  We provide this product to members as another alternative for them to sell their mortgage production, and do not expect the MPF loans to increase substantially.  Growth has been steady and moderate.  Purchases exceeded paydowns by $98.9 million over the nine months in 2013, and outstanding balances of loans under this program stood at $1.9 billion at September 30, 2013, compared to $1.8 billion at December 31, 2012.  Credit performance has been strong and delinquency low.  Historical loss experience has been very low.

80

Residential collateral values have remained stable in the New York and New Jersey sectors, the primary geographic concentration for our MPF portfolio.

The following table summarizes MPF loans by product types (par values, in thousands):

Table 6.1:MPF by Loss Layers

	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Original MPF (a)	$	446,686	$	444,339

Other	109,410		69,458
Total Par MPF Loans	$	1,903,103	$	1,812,526

(a)Original MPF — The first layer of losses is applied to the First Loss Account. We are responsible for the first layer of losses. The member then provides a credit enhancement up to “AA” rating equivalent. We would absorb any credit losses beyond the first two layers, though the possibility of any such losses is remote.

(b)MPF 100 — The first layer of losses is applied to the First Loss Account. We are responsible for the first layer of losses. Losses incurred in the First Loss Account are deducted from credit enhancement fees payable to the member after the third year. The member then provides a credit enhancement up to “AA” rating equivalent less the amount placed in the FLA. We absorb any losses incurred in the FLA that are not recovered through credit enhancement fees (should the pool liquidate prior to repayment of losses). We would absorb any credit losses beyond the first two layers.

(c)MPF 125 — The first layer of losses is applied to the First Loss Account. We are responsible for the first layer of losses. Losses incurred in the First Loss Account are deducted from the credit enhancement fees payable to the member. The member then provides a credit enhancement up to “AA” rating equivalent less the amount placed in the FLA. We absorb any losses incurred in the FLA that are not recovered through credit enhancement fees (should the pool liquidate prior to repayment of losses). We would absorb any credit losses beyond the first two layers.

(d)MPF 125 Plus —The first layer of losses is applied to the First Loss Account (“FLA”) in an amount equal to a specified percentage of loans in the pool as of the sale date. Losses incurred in the First Loss Account are deducted from the credit enhancement fees payable to the member. We absorb any losses incurred in the FLA that are not recovered through credit enhancement fees (should the pool liquidate prior to repayment of losses). The member acquires an additional Credit Enhancement (“CE”) coverage through a supplemental mortgage insurance policy (“SMI”) to cover second-layer losses that exceed the deductible (“FLA”) of the Supplemental Mortgage Insurance policy. Losses not covered by the First Loss Account or Supplemental Mortgage Insurance coverage will be paid by the member’s Credit Enhancement obligation up to “AA” rating equivalent. We would absorb losses that exceeded the Credit Enhancement obligation, though such losses are a remote possibility.

Mortgage loans — Conventional and Insured Loans

The following table classifies mortgage loans between conventional loans and loans insured by FHA/VA (in thousands):

Others	92		156
Total par value	$	1,903,104	$	1,812,526

Mortgage Loans - Credit Enhancement

In the credit enhancement waterfall, we are responsible for the first loss layer.  The second loss layer is that amount of credit obligation that the PFI has taken on, which will equate the loan to a double-A rating.  We assume all residual risk.  The amount of the credit enhancement is computed with the use of S&P’s model for determining the amount of credit enhancement necessary to bring a pool of uninsured loans to “AA” credit risk.  The credit enhancement becomes an obligation of the PFI.  For taking on the credit enhancement obligation, we pay to the PFI a credit enhancement fee.  For certain MPF products, the credit enhancement fee is accrued and paid each month.  For other MPF products, the credit enhancement fee is accrued and paid monthly after being deferred for 12 months. The portion of the credit enhancement that is an obligation of the PFI must be fully secured with pledged collateral.  A portion of the credit enhancement may also be covered by insurance, subject to limitations specified in the Acquired Member Assets regulation.  Each PFI/member or housing associate (at this time, we have no housing associates as a PFI) that participates in the MPF program must meet our established financial performance criteria.  In addition, we perform financial reviews of each approved PFI annually.  Housing Associates are entities that (i) are approved mortgagees under Title II of the National Housing Act, (ii) chartered under law and have succession, (iii) subject to inspection and supervision by a governmental agency, and (iv) lend their own funds as their principal activity in the mortgage field.

The FHLBNY computes the provision for credit losses without considering the credit enhancement features (except the “First Loss Account”) accompanying the MPF loans to provide credit assurance to the FHLBNY.  CE Fees are paid to PFIs on a pool level, and if the pool runs down, the amount of future CE fees would shrink in line.  For more information, see Note 8. Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio.

Loan concentration was in New York State, which is to be expected since the largest PFIs are located in New York.

Accrued interest receivable

Other assets

Accrued interest receivable was $171.9 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $179.0 million at December 31, 2012.  Accrued interest receivable was comprised primarily from advances and investments.  Changes in balances represent the timing of coupon receivables from advances and investments at the balance sheet dates.

Other assets included prepayments and miscellaneous receivables, and were $13.8 million and $13.7 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

82

Deposit Liabilities and Other Borrowings

Deposit liabilities consisted of member deposits, and from time to time may also include deposits from governmental institutions.  Member deposits do not represent a significant source of liquidity.

Member deposits — Deposit programs are for the benefit of our members.  Deposits are primarily short-term in nature, with the majority maintained in demand accounts that reprice daily based upon rates prevailing in the overnight Federal funds market.  Members’ liquidity preferences are the primary determinant of the level of deposits.  Total deposits were $1.6 billion at September 30, 2013, down from $2.1 billion at December 31, 2012.

Borrowings from other FHLBanks — We may borrow from other FHLBanks, generally for a period of one day and at market terms.  There were no significant borrowings in any periods in this report.

Debt Financing Activity and Consolidated Obligations

Our primary source of funds continued to be the issuance of consolidated bonds and discount notes.  Consolidated obligation debt outstanding at September 30, 2013 totaled $112.6 billion, an increase of 19.1%, or $18.1 billion from the amount outstanding at December 31, 2012.  The increase was in parallel with 17.9% increase in Total assets at September 30, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012.

Consolidated obligations, which consist of consolidated bonds and consolidated discount notes, are the joint and several obligations of the FHLBanks and the principal funding source for our operations.  Discount notes are consolidated obligations with maturities of up to 365 days, and consolidated bonds have maturities of one year or longer.  Member deposits, capital and, to a lesser extent, borrowings from other FHLBanks are also funding sources.  A FHLBank’s ability to access the capital markets to issue debt, as well as our cost of funds, is dependent on our credit ratings from major ratings organizations.  Please see Table 7.11 for our credit ratings.

Joint and Several Liability

The issuance and servicing of consolidated obligations debt are performed by the Office of Finance, a joint office of the FHLBanks established by the Finance Agency.  Each FHLBank independently determines its participation in each issuance of consolidated obligations based on, among other factors, its own funding and operating requirements, maturities, interest rates and other terms available for consolidated obligations in the market place.  Although we are primarily liable for our portion of consolidated obligations (i.e. those issued on our behalf), we are also jointly and severally liable with the other FHLBanks for the payment of principal and interest on the consolidated obligations of all the FHLBanks.  The two major debt programs offered by the Office of Finance are the Global Debt Program and the TAP issue programs.  We participate in both programs.  For more information about these programs, see Item 1. Business in our most recent Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2013.

Product mix

(a)Composition of the funding mix has remained substantially unchanged. We have issued callable bonds and 1-month LIBOR indexed floating rate bonds when spreads and funding needs justified the funding strategies. Callable bonds and 1-month LIBOR floaters were hedged to create floating rate 3-month LIBOR cash flows.

Fair value basis and valuation adjustments — The carrying values of our consolidated obligation bonds included hedge and valuation basis adjustments as reported above.

(b)The reported carrying value of hedged consolidated bonds is adjusted for changes in their fair value (fair value basis adjustments or fair value) that are attributable to the risk being hedged in accordance with hedge accounting rules.  The discounting basis for computing changes in fair values basis for hedges of debt in a fair value hedge is LIBOR for the FHLBNY.  The basis under the methodology resulted in the recognition of $367.0 million in unrealized basis losses at September 30, 2013, compared to $804.2 million at December 31, 2012.  Most of our existing hedged bonds are fixed-rate liabilities, and the debt had been issued in prior years at the then prevailing higher interest rate environment.  In a lower interest rate environment at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, these fixed-rate bonds exhibited unrealized fair value basis losses.

83

Valuation basis were not significant, relative to their par values, because the terms to maturity of the hedged bonds were, on average, short- and medium-term.  The valuation basis declined at September 30, 2013, compared to December 31, 2012, as significant amounts of hedged bonds matured in 2013 and were replaced by new issuances that were hedged, and the fair values of new issuances were materially the same as their par values.

(c)When a hedge is terminated before its stated maturity, the fair values of the debt at the hedge termination date are computed, recorded as a basis adjustment, and amortized on a level yield method to Interest expense.  Unamortized basis adjustments were $76.1 million and $63.5 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and the amounts will be amortized through the contractual maturities of the bonds.

(d)Carrying values of bonds elected under the FVO include valuation adjustments to recognize changes in fair values.  The discounting basis for computing changes in fair values of bonds elected under the FVO is the observed FHLBank bond yield curve.  Changes in fair value basis reflect changes in the term structure of interest rates, the shape of the yield curve at the measurement dates, the value and implied volatility of call options of callable bonds, and from the growth or decline in hedge volume.  Consolidated bonds elected under the FVO were also exhibiting fair value losses due to declining yields of equivalent maturity consolidated bonds offered in the bond markets.  Valuation adjustments of $9.3 million and $12.9 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 represented the premium over market values.

Hedge volume — Tables 7.2 - 7.4 provide information with respect to par amounts of bonds based on accounting designation: (1) under hedge qualifying rules, (2) under the FVO, and (3) as an economic hedge (in thousands):

Table 7.2:Bonds Hedged under Qualifying Hedges

Fixed-rate bullet bonds	$	26,511,810	$	28,587,050
Fixed-rate callable bonds	5,241,000		3,246,000
	$	31,752,810	$	31,833,050

Bonds elected under the FVO — If at inception of a hedge we do not believe that the hedge would be highly effective in offsetting fair value changes between the derivative and the debt (hedged item), we may designate the debt under the FVO if operationally practical.  We would record changes to the fair value of the debt through earnings, and to the extent the debt is economically hedged, record changes to the fair values of the derivatives through earnings.  The recorded balance sheet value of debt under the FVO would include the fair value basis adjustments, so that the debt’s balance sheet carrying values would be its fair value.

Table 7.3:Bonds under the Fair Value Option (FVO)

Par Amount	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Bonds designated under FVO	$	21,910,000	$	12,728,000

Bonds designated under the FVO were generally economically hedged by interest rate swaps.  Increase in the election of short-term bonds under the FVO was largely in the 2013 second quarter in parallel with advances issued in the quarter and elected under the FVO.  See Table 9.4 for more information.

Economically hedged bonds — We may also decide that the operational cost of designating debt under the FVO (or qualifying fair value hedge accounting) outweighs the accounting benefits.  To mitigate the economic risk, we would then opt to hedge the debt on an economic basis.  In that scenario, the balance sheet carrying value of the debt would not include fair value basis since the debt is recorded at amortized cost.

(a)Floating-rate debt — Floating-rate bonds indexed to 1-month LIBOR were swapped in economic hedges to 3-month LIBOR with the execution of basis swaps.

(b)Fixed-rate debt — These primarily represent bond hedges that have fallen out of effectiveness.  We do not consider this to be significant and the fair values were also not significant.

Consolidated obligation bonds — maturity or next call date (a)

Swapped, callable bonds contain an exercise date or a series of exercise dates that may result in a shorter redemption period.  The following table summarizes consolidated bonds outstanding by years to maturity or next call date (dollars in thousands):

Total bonds	$	70,361,388				$	64,784,321

(a)Contrasting consolidated obligation bonds by contractual maturity dates with potential call dates illustrates the impact of hedging on the effective duration of the bond.  With a callable bond, we have purchased the option to terminate debt at agreed upon dates from investors.  Call options are exercisable either as a one-time option or as quarterly.  Our current practice is to exercise our option to call a bond when the swap counterparty exercises its option to call the cancellable swap hedging the callable bond.  Thus, issuance of a callable bond with an associated callable swap significantly alters the contractual maturity characteristics of the original bond and introduces the possibility of an exercise call date that is significantly shorter than the contractual maturity.

The following table summarizes callable and non-callable bonds outstanding (in thousands):

Table 7.6:Outstanding Callable and Non-Callable Bonds — Par Amounts

	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Callable	$	8,600,500	$	3,906,000
Non-Callable	$	61,256,950	$	59,919,085

Debt extinguishment — The following table summarizes debt transferred to or from another FHLBank and debt retired by the FHLBNY (carrying values, in thousands):

Table 7.7:Transferred and Retired Debt

Debt extinguished	$	—	$	60,635	$	40,545	$	269,125

The FHLBNY typically retires debt to reduce future debt costs when the associated asset is either prepaid or terminated early, and less frequently from unscheduled prepayments of mortgage-backed securities.  When assets are prepaid ahead of their expected or contractual maturities, the FHLBNY also attempts to extinguish debt (consolidated obligation bonds) in order to realign asset and liability cash flow patterns.  The FHLBNY typically receives prepayment fees when assets are prepaid, making us economically whole.  When debt is retired by transferring to another FHLBank, the re-purchases are also at negotiated market rates.  Debt extinguished other than through a transfer (to another FHLBank) is re-purchased from investors through bond dealers.  For losses charged to earnings, see Table 1.12.

Discount Notes

Consolidated obligation discount notes provide us with short-term and overnight funds.  Discount notes have maturities of up to one year and are offered daily through a dealer-selling group; the notes are sold at a discount from their face amount and mature at par.  Additionally, through a 16-member selling group, the Office of Finance, acting on behalf of the 12 Federal Home Loan Banks, issues discount notes in four standard maturities in two auctions each week.

The following table summarizes discount notes issued and outstanding (dollars in thousands):

(a)Generally, maturing discount notes that had been elected under the FVO were replaced by discount notes that were deemed to be not necessary for the FVO election.  For the debt elected under the FVO, the debt is typically economically hedged in a fair value hedge to convert the fixed-rate exposure of the discount notes to a variable-rate exposure, generally indexed to LIBOR.

Accrued interest payable

Other liabilities

Accrued interest payable — Accrued interest payable was comprised primarily of interest due and unpaid on consolidated obligation bonds, which are generally payable on a semi-annual basis.  Amounts outstanding at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $143.9 million and $127.7 million.  Fluctuations in unpaid interest balance on bonds were due to the timing of accruals outstanding at the balance sheet dates, relative to the semi-annual coupon period.

Other liabilities — Other liabilities comprised of unfunded pension liabilities, pass through reserves held at the FRB on behalf of our members, commitments and miscellaneous payables.  Amounts outstanding at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $171.0 million and $165.7 million.

Stockholders’ Capital, Retained Earnings, AOCI, and Dividend

The following table summarizes the components of Stockholders’ capital (in thousands):

Table 8.1:Stockholders’ Capital

	September 30, 2013			December 31, 2012
Capital Stock (a)	$	5,482,651		$	4,797,457
Unrestricted retained earnings (b)	823,875			797,567
Restricted retained earnings (c)	139,503			96,185
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss	(120,905		)	(199,380		)
Total Capital	$	6,325,124		$	5,491,829

(a)Stockholders’ Capital — Capital stock has increased consistent with the increase in advances borrowed by members. Members are generally required to purchase stock as a percentage of advances borrowed.  An increase in advances will typically result in an increase in capital stock.  In addition, under our present practice, we generally redeem any stock in excess of the amount necessary to support advance activity.  Therefore, the amount of capital stock outstanding varies directly with members’ outstanding borrowings.

(b)Unrestricted retained earnings — Net Income in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $215.8 million.  We paid $146.2 million to members as dividend in the period, and $43.3 million was set aside towards Restricted retained earnings.  The remaining amount, $26.3 million was added to Unrestricted retained earnings, which grew to $823.9 million at September 30, 2013, up from $797.6 million at December 31, 2012.

(c)Restricted retained earnings — Restricted retained earnings was established in the third quarter of 2011, and has grown to $139.5 million at September 30, 2013.  The FHLBNY will allocate at least 20% of its net income to a restricted retained earnings account until the balance of the account equals at least 1% of FHLBNY’s average balance of outstanding Consolidated Obligations for the previous quarter.  If the Restricted retained earnings target was to be calculated at September 30, 2013 for the FHLBNY, it would have amounted to $941.7 million based on the FHLBNY’s average consolidated obligations outstanding during the previous quarter.  For more information about Restricted retained earnings, see Note 12. Capital Stock, Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock and Restricted Retained Earnings in this report, and in the most recent Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2013.

The following table summarizes the components of AOCI (in thousands):

Table 8.2:Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI”)

	September 30, 2013			December 31, 2012
Accumulated other comprehensive loss
Non-credit portion of OTTI on held-to-maturity securities, net of accretion (a)	$	(55,711	)	$	(63,471	)
Net unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities (b)	13,963			22,506
Net unrealized losses on hedging activities (c)	(58,998		)	(137,114		)
Employee supplemental retirement plans (d)	(20,159		)	(21,301		)
Total Accumulated other comprehensive loss	$	(120,905	)	$	(199,380	)

(a)OTTI — Non-credit OTTI losses recorded in AOCI declined at September 30, 2013, primarily due to accretion recorded as a reduction in AOCI and a corresponding increase in the balance sheet carrying values of the OTTI securities.

(b)Fair values of available-for-sale securities — Balance represents net unrealized fair value gains of MBS securities and a grantor trust fund.  Fair values declined due to decline in outstanding balances of AFS securities.

(c)Cash flow hedge losses — Net loss represents unrealized valuation losses on interest rate swaps in cash flow “rollover” hedge strategies that hedged the variability of 91-day discount notes issued in sequence for periods up to 15 years.  Fair values of the swaps were in net unrealized loss positions primarily due to the prevailing low interest rates, relative to those prevailing when the hedges were executed.  The decline in valuation losses was due to steepening of longer-term rates at September 30, 2013, relative to December 31, 2012.  Fair value changes will be recorded through AOCI over the life of the hedges for the effective portion of the cash flow hedge strategy.  Discount note expense, which resets every 91 days, is synthetically changed to fixed cash flows over the hedge periods, thereby achieving hedge objectives.  For more information, see Cash Flow Hedges in Note 16. Derivatives and Hedging Activities.Cash flow fair value losses also included unamortized realized net losses of $8.2 million resulting from terminated swaps in a cash flow hedge strategy associated with hedges of anticipated issuance of debt.  Amounts recorded in AOCI are being reclassified as an interest expense over the terms of the issued debt.  The expense is considered as a yield adjustment to the fixed coupons of the debt.

(d)Employee supplemental plans — Represent minimum additional actuarially determined pension and post-retirement health benefit liabilities that were not recognized through earnings.  Amounts will be amortized as an expense through earnings over an actuarially determined period.

Dividends - By Finance Agency regulation, dividends may be paid out of current earnings or previously retained earnings.  We may be restricted from paying dividends if we do not comply with any of its minimum capital requirements or if payment would cause us to fail to meet any of its minimum capital requirements, including our Retained earnings target as established by the Board of Directors of the FHLBNY.  In addition, we may not pay dividends if any principal or interest due on any consolidated obligations has not been paid in full, or if we fail to satisfy certain liquidity requirements under applicable Finance Agency regulations.  None of these restrictions applied for any period presented.  Dividends are computed based on the weighted average stock outstanding during a quarter, and are declared and paid in the following quarter.  The following table summarizes dividends paid and payout ratios (on all Class B stocks held by members; excludes capital stock held by non-members):

Table 8.3:Dividends Paid and Payout Ratios

(a)In thousands.

(b)Dividend paid in the period divided by net income for that period.

(c)The amounts paid represent total dividends, including dividend paid to non-member; for accounting purposes, such dividends paid to non-members are recorded as interest expense.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Interest rate swaps, swaptions, cap and floor agreements (collectively, derivatives) enable us to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates by adjusting the effective maturity, repricing frequency, or option characteristics of financial instruments.  To a limited extent, we also use interest rate swaps to hedge changes in interest rates prior to debt issuance and essentially lock in funding costs.  Derivative contracts hedging the risks associated with the changes in fair value are referred to as fair value hedges, while contracts hedging the risks affecting the expected future cash flows are called cash flow hedges.

Derivative Credit Risk Exposure and Concentration

In addition to market risk, we are subject to credit risk in derivative transactions because of the potential for non-performance by the counterparties, which could result in the FHLBNY having to acquire a replacement derivative from a different counterparty at a cost.   We are also subject to operational risks in the execution and servicing of derivative transactions.   The degree of counterparty credit risk may depend on, among other factors, the extent to which netting procedures and/or the provision of collateral are used to mitigate the risk.   See Table 9.5 for summarized information.  Summarized below are our risk evaluation and measurement processes:

Risk measurement — We estimate exposure to credit loss on derivative instruments by calculating the replacement cost, on a present value basis, to settle at current market prices all outstanding derivative contracts in a gain position, net of collateral pledged by the counterparty.  All derivative contracts with non-members are also subject to master netting agreements or other right of offset arrangements.

Exposure — In determining credit risk, we consider accrued interest receivable and payable, and the legal right to offset assets and liabilities by counterparty.  We attempt to mitigate exposure by requiring derivative counterparties to pledge cash collateral if the amount of exposure is above the collateral threshold agreements.

Our credit exposures (derivatives in a net gain position) were to highly-rated counterparties, including a Derivative Clearing Organization (“DCO”).  Our exposures also included open derivative contracts executed on behalf of member institutions, and the exposures were collateralized under standard advance collateral agreements with our members.   For such transactions, acting as an intermediary, we offset the transaction by purchasing equivalent notional amounts of derivatives from unrelated derivative counterparties.  For more information, see Credit Risk due to nonperformance by counterparties, in Note 16.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Risk mitigation — We attempt to mitigate derivative counterparty credit risk by contracting only with experienced counterparties with investment-grade credit ratings.   Annually, our management and Board of Directors review and approve all non-member derivative counterparties.   We monitor counterparties on an ongoing basis for significant business events, including ratings actions taken by Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations.   All approved derivatives counterparties must enter into a master ISDA agreement with our bank before we execute a trade through that counterparty.  In addition, for all bilateral OTC derivatives, we have executed the Credit Support Annex to the ISDA agreement that provides for collateral support at predetermined thresholds.  For Cleared-OTC

89

derivatives, margin requirements are mandated under the Dodd-Frank Act.  We believe that these arrangements have sufficiently mitigated our exposures, and we do not anticipate any credit losses on derivative contracts.

For bilateral OTC derivatives (uncleared derivatives), many of the Credit Support Amount (“CSA”) agreements with swap dealers stipulate that so long as we retain our GSE status, ratings downgrades would not result in the posting of additional collateral.   Other CSA agreements with derivative counterparties would require us to post additional collateral based solely on an adverse change in our credit rating by S&P and Moody’s.   In the event of a split rating, the lower rating will apply.   In 2011, S&P downgraded the credit rating of the FHLBank long-term debt from AAA to AA+/Negative and lowered one notch the credit ratings of those FHLBanks rated AAA (including the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York) to AA+/Negative.   In June 2013, S&P revised its outlook from negative to stable.  Moody’s has affirmed the AAA status of the FHLBank’s long-term debt and the AAA credit rating of the FHLBNY.  On the assumption we will retain our status as a GSE, we estimate that a one notch downgrade of our credit rating by S&P would have permitted swap dealers and counterparties to make additional collateral calls of up to $108.5 million at September 30, 2013.   Additional collateral postings upon an assumed downgrade were estimated based on the factors in the individual collateral posting provisions of the CSA with each counterparty and the exposures as of September 30, 2013.   The aggregate fair value of our derivative instruments that were in a net liability position at September 30, 2013 was approximately $388.3 million.

For Cleared OTC derivatives, the DCO determines margin requirements and generally credit ratings are not factored into the margin amounts.  Clearing agents may require additional margin amounts to be posted based on credit considerations.  The FHLBNY was not subject to additional margin calls by its clearing agents at September 30, 2013.

(a)Notional concentration — We measure concentration by fair value exposure and not by notional.  We have reported fair values for derivative contracts in a gain position, which is our credit exposure due to potential non-performance by derivative counterparties.  Derivative contracts with remaining counterparties were in a liability position in which the swap counterparties were exposed to a default by the FHLBNY.  The FHLBNY’s exposure with such contracts would be measured by the FHLBNY’s inability to replace the contracts at a value that was equal to or greater than the cash posted to the defaulting counterparty.

(b)Country of incorporation is based on domicile of the ultimate parent company.

(c)Total notional for all counterparties.   Fair values are reported only when the FHLBNY has an exposure.   Fair values in a liability position represent our exposure to counterparties, and this information is not reported in the above tables.

Liquidity, Cash Flows, Short-Term Borrowings and Short-Term Debt

Our primary source of liquidity is the issuance of consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes.   To refinance maturing consolidated obligations, we rely on the willingness of our investors to purchase new issuances.   We have access to the discount note market, and the efficiency of issuing discount notes is an important factor as a source of liquidity, since discount notes can be issued any time and in a variety of amounts and maturities.  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 from the FHLBanks.   Our liquidity position remains in compliance with all regulatory requirements and management does not foresee any changes to that position.

Finance Agency Regulations — Liquidity

Regulatory requirements are specified in Parts 917, 932 and 1270 of Finance Agency regulations and are summarized below.  Each FHLBank shall at all times have at least an amount of liquidity equal to the current deposits received from its members that may be invested in: (1) Obligations of the United States; (2) Deposits in banks or trust companies; or (3) Advances with a maturity not to exceed five years.

In addition, each FHLBank shall provide for contingency liquidity, which is defined as the sources of cash, a FHLBank may use to meet its operational requirements when its access to the capital markets is impeded.   We met our contingency liquidity requirements.   Liquidity in excess of requirements is summarized in the table titled Contingency Liquidity.   Violations of the liquidity requirements would result in non-compliance penalties under discretionary powers given to the Finance Agency under applicable regulations, which include other corrective actions.

Liquidity Management

We actively manage our 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 our assets and liabilities.  We recognize that managing liquidity is critical to achieving our statutory mission of providing low-cost funding to our members.  In managing liquidity risk, we are required to maintain certain liquidity measures in accordance with the FHLBank Act and policies developed by management and approved by our Board of Directors.   The applicable liquidity requirements are described in the next four sections.

Deposit Liquidity.  We are required to invest an aggregate amount at least equal to the amount of current deposits received from 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 our members, we may accept deposits from 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).   We met these requirements at all times.

The following table summarizes excess deposit liquidity (in millions):

Table 10.1:Deposit Liquidity

	Average Deposit		Average Actual
For the Quarters Ended	Reserve Required		Deposit Liquidity		Excess
September 30, 2013	$	1,571	$	71,539	$	69,968

December 31, 2012	1,979		61,032		59,053

Operational Liquidity.  We must be able to fund our activities as our balance sheet changes from day to day.  We maintain the capacity to fund balance sheet growth through regular money market and capital market funding activities.  We monitor our operational liquidity needs by regularly comparing our demonstrated funding capacity with potential balance sheet growth.  We take such actions as may be necessary to maintain adequate sources of funding for such growth.  Operational liquidity is measured daily.  We met these requirements at all times.

Table 10.2:Operational Liquidity

The following table summarizes excess operational liquidity (in millions):

	Average Balance Sheet		Average Actual
For the Quarters Ended	Liquidity Requirement		Operational Liquidity		Excess

December 31, 2012	6,077		23,434		17,357

Contingency Liquidity.  We are required by Finance Agency regulations to hold “contingency liquidity” in an amount sufficient to meet our liquidity needs if we are unable 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

92

second-highest credit rating from a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization.  We consistently exceeded the regulatory minimum requirements for contingency liquidity.  Contingency liquidity is reported daily.   We met these requirements at all times.

The following table summarizes excess contingency liquidity (in millions):

Table 10.3:Contingency Liquidity

	Average Five Day		Average Actual
For the Quarters Ended	Requirement		Contingency Liquidity		Excess
September 30, 2013	$	3,004	$	29,041	$	26,037
June 30, 2013	2,681		26,051		23,370
March 31, 2013	2,135		25,559		23,424
December 31, 2012	1,753		23,412		21,659

The standards in our risk management policy address our day-to-day operational and contingency liquidity needs.  These standards enumerate the specific types of investments to be held to satisfy such liquidity needs and are outlined above.  These standards also establish the methodology to be used in determining our operational and contingency needs.  We continually monitor and project our cash needs, daily debt issuance capacity, and the amount and value of investments available for use in the market for repurchase agreements.  We use this information to determine our liquidity needs and to develop appropriate liquidity plans.

Advance “Roll-Off” and “Roll-Over” Liquidity Guidelines.   The Finance Agency’s Minimum Liquidity Requirement Guidelines expanded the existing liquidity requirements to include additional cash flow requirements under two scenarios:  Advance “Roll-Over” and “Roll-Off” scenarios.  Each FHLBank, including the FHLBNY, must have positive cash balances to be able to maintain positive cash flows for 15 days under the Roll-Off scenario, and for five days under the Roll-Over scenario.  The Roll-Off scenario assumes that advances maturing under their contractual terms would mature, and in that scenario we would maintain positive cash flows for a minimum of 15 days on a daily basis.  The Roll-Over scenario assumes that our maturing advances would be rolled over, and in that scenario we would maintain positive cash flows for a minimum of 5 days on a daily basis.  We calculate the amount of cash flows under each scenario on a daily basis and have been in compliance with these guidelines.

Cash flows

Cash and due from banks was $11.5 billion at September 30, 2013, compared to $7.6 billion at December 31, 2012.  The following discussion highlights the major activities and transactions that affected our cash flows.  See Table 5.11 for a fuller understanding of cash held at the FRB.  Also see Statements of Cash Flows.

Cash flows from operating activities — Our operating assets and liabilities support our lending activities to members.   Operating assets and liabilities can vary significantly in the normal course of business due to the amount and timing of cash flows, which are affected by member-driven borrowing, investment strategies and market conditions.   Management believes cash flows from operations, available cash balances and our ability to generate cash through the issuance of consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes are sufficient to fund our operating liquidity needs.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $390.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $530.2 million in the same period in 2012.  Net cash generated from operating activities was higher than Net income largely as a result of adjustments for noncash items, primarily amounts set aside from Net income for the Affordable Housing Program, amortization of premiums on assets and discounts on liabilities, net changes in accrued interest receivable, and derivative financing elements, which are associated with derivative cash flows with off-market terms.

For cash flow reporting, cash outflows (expenses) associated with swaps with off-market terms are considered to be principal repayments of certain off-market swap transactions, although they are reported as an expense to Net income in the Statements of Income.  Certain interest rate swaps at inception of the contracts included off-market terms, and required up-front cash exchanges, and were largely outstanding in the periods in this report.   We view these swaps to contain “financing elements”, as defined under hedge accounting rules.   The amounts reclassified within the Statements of Cash Flows from Operating expenses to Financing activities were $176.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $201.3 million in the same period in 2012, and represented interest payments to certain swap counterparties for the off-market swaps.

Cash flows from investing activities — Our investing activities predominantly were the advances originated to be held-for-portfolio, the MBS investment portfolios, mortgage loans (MPF) held-for-portfolio, and other short-term interest-earning assets.   In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, investing activities were a net user of cash of $14.8 billion, compared to $17.5 billion in the same period in the prior year.   In both periods, funds were primarily used to fund advance to members, to invest in overnight investments in Federal funds sold, and to acquire mortgage-related investments.

Short-term Borrowings and Short-term Debt — Our primary source of funds is the issuance of FHLBank debt.  Consolidated obligation discount notes are issued with maturities up to one year and provide us with short-term funds.   Discount notes are principally used in funding short-term advances, some long-term advances, as well as money market instruments.   We also issue short-term consolidated obligation bonds as part of our asset-liability management strategy.   We may also borrow from other FHLBanks, generally for a period of one day.  Such borrowings have been insignificant historically.

(a)Outstanding balances represent the carrying value of discount notes and par value of bonds (one year or less) issued and outstanding at the reported dates.

(b)The amount represents the monthly average par value outstanding balance at the reported dates.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Guarantees, and Other Commitments — In accordance with regulations governing the operations of the FHLBanks, each FHLBank, including the FHLBNY, is jointly and severally liable for the FHLBank System’s consolidated obligations issued under Section 11(a) of the FHLBank Act, and in accordance with the FHLBank Act, each FHLBank, including the FHLBNY, is jointly and severally liable for consolidated obligations issued under Section 11(c) of the FHLBank Act.  The joint and several liability regulation authorizes the Finance Agency to require any FHLBank to repay all or a portion of the principal or interest on consolidated obligations for which another FHLBank is the primary obligor.

In addition, in the ordinary course of business, the FHLBNY engages in financial transactions that, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are not recorded on the FHLBNY’s balance sheet or may be recorded on the FHLBNY’s balance sheet in amounts that are different from the full contract or notional amount of the transactions.  For example, the Bank routinely enters into commitments to purchase MPF loans from PFIs, and to issues standby letters of credit.  These commitments may represent future cash requirements of the Bank, although the standby letters of credit usually expire without being drawn upon.  See Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies for information about contractual obligations and commitments.

Legislative and Regulatory Developments

FHFA Developments

Final Rule on Stress Testing.  On September 26, 2013, the FHFA issued a final rule which requires each FHLBank to assess the potential impact of certain sets of economic and financial conditions, including baseline, adverse and severely adverse scenarios, on its consolidated earnings, capital, and other related factors, over a nine-quarter forward horizon based on its portfolio as of September 30 of the previous year.  The rule provides that the FHFA will annually issue guidance on the scenarios and methodologies to be used in conducting the stress test.  Each FHLBank must publicly disclose the results of its adverse economic conditions stress test.  The final rule became effective October 28, 2013.

Joint Proposed Rule on Credit Risk Retention for ABS. On September 20, 2013, the FHFA with other U.S. federal regulators jointly issued a proposed rule with a comment deadline of October 30, 2013, which proposes requiring ABS sponsors to retain a minimum of five percent economic interest in a portion of the credit risk of the assets collateralizing the ABS, unless all the securitized assets satisfy specified qualifications. The proposed rule revises an earlier proposed rule on ABS credit risk retention. In general, as with the original, the revised proposed rule specifies criteria for qualified residential mortgage, commercial real estate, auto, and commercial loans that would make them exempt from the risk-retention requirement. The criteria for qualified residential mortgages is described in the proposed rulemaking as those underwriting and product features which, based on historical data, are associated with low risk even in periods of decline of housing prices and high unemployment.  The proposed rule would exempt agency MBS from the risk-retention requirements so long as the sponsoring agency is operating under the conservatorship or receivership of the FHFA and fully guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on all interests in the issued security.  Further, MBS issued by any limited-life regulated entity succeeding to either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac operating with capital support from the United States would be exempt from the risk-retention requirements.

If adopted as proposed, the rule could reduce the number of loans originated by our members that are eligible to be pledged to us as collateral to the extent that the risk retention requirements were uneconomic or otherwise had adverse impacts on our members.  A reduction in origination of assets that are eligible to be pledged to us as collateral could, in turn, adversely impact demand for advances.

Other Significant Developments

Basel Committee on Banking Supervision — Final Capital Framework.  In July 2013, the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the OCC) adopted a final rule and the FDIC (together with the Federal Reserve and the OCC, the Financial Regulators) adopted an interim final rule, which was amended September 10, 2013, establishing new minimum capital standards for financial institutions to incorporate the Basel III regulatory capital reforms from the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. The new capital framework includes, among other things:

·a new common equity tier 1 minimum capital requirement, a higher minimum tier 1 capital requirement and an additional capital conservation buffer;

·revised methodologies for calculation of risk-weighted assets to enhance risk sensitivity; and

·a supplementary leverage ratio for financial institutions subject to the “advanced approaches” risk-based capital rules.

The new framework could require some of our members to divest assets in order to comply with the more stringent capital requirements, thereby tending to decrease their need for advances. Conversely, the new requirements could incent our members to use term advances to create and maintain balance sheet liquidity. Most of our members must begin to comply with the final rule by January 1, 2015, although some larger members must begin to comply by January 1, 2014.

Basel Committee on Bank Supervision — Proposed Liquidity Coverage Ratio.  In October 2013, the Financial Regulators issued a proposed rule with a comment deadline of January 31, 2014 for a minimum liquidity coverage ratio (the LCR) applicable to all internationally active banking organizations; bank holding companies; systemically important, non-bank financial institutions designated for Federal Reserve supervision; certain savings and loan holding companies; depository institutions with more than $250 billion in total assets or more than $10 billion in on-balance sheet foreign exposure; and to such depository institutions’ consolidated subsidiaries that are depository institutions with $10 billion or more in total consolidated assets. Among other things, the proposed rule defines various categories of high quality, liquid assets (HQLAs) for purposes of satisfying the LCR, and these HQLAs are further categorized into Level 1, 2A, or 2B. The treatment of HQLAs for the LCR is most favorable under the Level 1 category, less favorable under the Level 2A category, and least favorable under the Level 2B category. As proposed, consolidated obligations (“COs”) would be categorized as Level 2A HQLAs. This could adversely impact investor demand for COs because their treatment will be less favorable than the treatment of Level 1 HQLAs, potentially resulting in increased funding costs and, in turn, adversely impacting the results of our operations.

National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Final Rule on Access to Emergency Liquidity.  On October 30, 2013, the NCUA published a final rule requiring, among other things, that federally insured credit unions of $250 million or larger must maintain access to at least one federal liquidity source for use in times of financial emergency and distressed circumstances. This access must be demonstrated through direct or indirect membership in the Central Liquidity Facility (a U.S. government corporation created to improve the general financial stability of credit unions by serving as a liquidity lender to credit unions) or by establishing access to the Federal Reserve’s discount window. The final rule does not include FHLBank membership as an emergency liquidity source. Accordingly, the final rule may adversely impact our results of operations if it causes our federally-insured credit union members to favor these federal liquidity sources over FHLBank membership or advances.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk Management.  Market risk or interest rate risk (“IRR”) is the risk of loss to market value or future earnings that may result from changes in the interest rate environment.  Embedded in IRR is a tradeoff of risk versus reward. We could earn higher income by having higher IRR through greater mismatches between our assets and liabilities at the cost of potentially significant declines in market value and future income if the interest rate environment turned against our expectations.  We have opted to retain a modest level of IRR which allows us to preserve our capital value while generating steady and predictable income.  In keeping with that philosophy, our balance sheet consists of predominantly short-term and LIBOR-based assets and liabilities.  More than 85 percent of our financial assets are either short-term or LIBOR-based, and a similar percentage of our liabilities are also either short-term or LIBOR-based.  These positions protect our capital from large changes in value arising from interest rate or volatility changes.

Our primary tool to achieve the desired risk profile is the use of derivative transactions (also referred to as swaps or derivatives).  All the LIBOR-based advances are long-term advances that are swapped to 3- or 1-month LIBOR or possess adjustable rates which periodically reset to a LIBOR index.  Similarly, a majority of the long-term consolidated obligations are swapped to 3- or 1-month LIBOR.  These features create a relatively steady income that changes in concert with prevailing interest rate changes to maintain a spread to short-term rates.

Despite the conservative philosophy, IRR does arise from a number of aspects in our portfolio.  These include the embedded prepayment rights, refunding needs, rate resets between short-term assets and liabilities, and basis risks arising from differences between the yield curves associated with assets and liabilities.  To address these risks, we use certain key IRR measures including re-pricing gaps, duration of equity (“DOE”), value at risk (“VaR”), net interest income (“NII”) at risk, key rate durations (“KRD”), and forecasted dividend rates.

Risk Measurements.  Our Risk Management Policy sets up a series of risk limits that we calculate on a regular basis.  The risk limits are as follows:

·The option-adjusted DOE is limited to a range of +2.0 years to -3.5 years in the rates unchanged case, and to a range of +/-6.0 years in the +/-200bps shock cases.  Due to the low interest rate environment beginning in early 2008, September 2012, December 2012, March 2013, June 2013 and September 2013 rates were too low for a meaningful parallel down-shock measurement.

·The one-year cumulative re-pricing gap is limited to 10 percent of total assets.

·The sensitivity of expected net interest income over a one-year period is limited to a -15 percent change under both the +/-200bps shocks compared to the rates unchanged case.

·The potential decline in the market value of equity is limited to a 10 percent change under the +/-200bps shocks.

·KRD exposure is measured at nine term points (3-month, 1-year, 2-year, 3-year, 5-year, 7-year, 10-year, 15-year, and 30-year) and is limited to between +/-12 months through the 3-year term point and a cumulative limit of +/-30 months from the 5-year through 30-year term points.

Our portfolio, including derivatives, is tracked and the overall mismatch between assets and liabilities is summarized by using a DOE measure.  Our last five quarterly DOE results are shown in years in the table below (due to the on-going low interest rate environment, there was no down-shock measurement performed between the third quarter of 2012 and the third quarter of 2013):

	Base Case DOE	-200bps DOE	+200bps DOE
September 30, 2013	1.11	N/A	1.70
June 30, 2013	0.81	N/A	2.25
March 31, 2013	-0.05	N/A	2.55
December 31, 2012	-1.46	N/A	2.02
September 30, 2012	-0.96	N/A	2.43

The DOE has remained within policy limits.  Duration indicates any cumulative re-pricing/maturity imbalance in the portfolio’s financial assets and liabilities.  A positive DOE indicates that, on average, the liabilities will re-price or mature sooner than the assets, while a negative DOE indicates that, on average, the assets will re-price or mature earlier than the liabilities.  We measure DOE using software that incorporates any optionality within our portfolio using well-known and tested financial pricing theoretical models.

96

We do not solely rely on the DOE measure as a mismatch measure between assets and liabilities.  We also perform the more traditional gap measure that subtracts re-pricing/maturing liabilities from re-pricing/maturing assets over time.  We observe the differences over various horizons, but have set a limit of 10 percent of assets on cumulative re-pricings at the one-year point.  This quarterly observation of the one-year cumulative re-pricing gap is provided in the table below and all values are below 10 percent of assets, well within the limit:

	One Year Re-pricing Gap
September 30, 2013	$	6.406 Billion
June 30, 2013	$	6.182 Billion
March 31, 2013	$	5.595 Billion
December 31, 2012	$	6.259 Billion
September 30, 2012	$	6.155 Billion

Our review of potential interest rate risk issues also includes the effect of changes in interest rates on expected net income. We project asset and liability volumes and spreads over a one-year horizon and then simulate expected income and expenses from those volumes and other inputs. The effects of changes in interest rates are measured to test whether the portfolio has too much exposure in its net interest income over the coming 12-month period. To measure the effect, the change to the spread in the shocks is calculated and compared against the base case and subjected to a -15 percent limit. The quarterly sensitivity of our expected net interest income under both +/-200bps shocks over the next 12 months is provided in the table below (due to the ongoing low interest rate environment, the down-shock measurement was not performed between the third quarter of 2012 and the third quarter of 2013):

	Sensitivity in the -200bps Shock	Sensitivity in the +200bps Shock
September 30, 2013	N/A	15.45	%
June 30, 2013	N/A	14.61	%
March 31, 2013	N/A	16.17	%
December 31, 2012	N/A	14.21	%
September 30, 2012	N/A	17.94	%

Aside from net interest income, the other significant impact on changes in the interest rate environment is the potential impact on the value of the portfolio. These calculated and quoted market values are estimated based upon their financial attributes (including optionality) and then re-estimated under the assumption that interest rates suddenly rise or fall by 200bps. The worst effect, whether it is the up or down shock, is compared to the internal limit of 10 percent. The quarterly potential maximum decline in the market value of equity under these 200bps shocks is provided below (due to the ongoing low interest rate environment, the down-shock measurement was not performed between the third quarter of 2012 and the third quarter of 2013):

	Down- shock Change in MVE	+200bps Change in MVE
September 30, 2013	N/A	-2.50	%
June 30, 2013	N/A	-3.37	%
March 31, 2013	N/A	-3.01	%
December 31, 2012	N/A	-1.18	%
September 30, 2012	N/A	-1.58	%

As noted, the potential declines under these shocks are within our limits of a maximum 10 percent.

ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: An evaluation of the Bank’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Bank’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Alfred A. DelliBovi, and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Kevin M. Neylan, at September 30, 2013.  Based on this evaluation, they concluded that as of September 30, 2013, the Bank’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at a reasonable level of assurance, in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Bank in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Bank’s management (including the President and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: There were no changes in the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Act) during the Bank’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting.

Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio.

Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio.

Note 8. Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio.

Mortgage loans were Mortgage Partnership Finance® program loans, or (“MPF”®).  The MPF program involves investment by the FHLBNY in mortgage loans that are purchased from its participating financial institutions (“PFIs”).  The members retain servicing rights and may credit enhance the portion of the loans participated to the FHLBNY.  No intermediary trust is involved.

The following table presents information on mortgage loans held-for-portfolio (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2013					December 31, 2012
	Amount			Percentage of Total		Amount			Percentage of Total
Real Estate(a):
Fixed medium-term single-family mortgages	$	379,281		19.93	%	$	400,309		22.09	%
Fixed long-term single-family mortgages	1,523,731			80.07		1,412,061			77.90

Total mortgage loans held-for-portfolio, net of allowance for credit losses	$	1,932,855				$	1,842,816

(a) Conventional mortgages represent the majority of mortgage loans held-for-portfolio, with the remainder invested in FHA and VA insured loans.

(b) Represents fair value basis of closed delivery commitments.

No loans were transferred to a “loan-for-sale” category.  From time to time, the Bank may request a PFI to repurchase loans if the loan failed to comply with the MPF loan standards.  Loans repurchased from PFIs in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $1.7 million and $7.7 million of loans; $1.4 million of such loans were repurchased in the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

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 this varies with the particular MPF product.  The amount of the first layer, or the First Loss Account (“FLA”), was estimated at $19.4 million and $18.4 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The FLA is not recorded or reported as a reserve for loan losses, as it serves as a memorandum or information account.  The FHLBNY is responsible for absorbing the first layer.  The second layer is that amount of credit obligations that the 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 were $0.5 million and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, and $0.4 million and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.  These fees were reported as a reduction to mortgage loan interest income.

In terms of the credit enhancement waterfall, the MPF program structures potential credit losses on conventional MPF loans into layers on each loan pool as follows:

· The first layer of protection against loss is the liquidation value of the real property securing the loan.

· The next layer of protection comes from the primary mortgage insurance (“PMI”) that is required for loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80% at origination.

· Losses that exceed the liquidation value of the real property and any PMI, up to an agreed upon amount, the FLA for each Master Commitment, will be absorbed by the FHLBNY.

· Losses in excess of the FLA, up to an agreed-upon amount, the credit enhancement amount, will be covered by the PFI’s credit enhancement obligation.

· Losses in excess of the FLA and the PFI’s remaining credit enhancement for the Master Commitment, if any, will be absorbed by the FHLBNY.

Allowance Methodology for Loan Losses

Mortgage loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the FHLBNY will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage loan agreements.  The Bank performs periodic reviews of individual impaired mortgage loans within the MPF loan portfolio to identify the potential for losses inherent in the portfolio and to determine the likelihood of collection of the principal and interest.  Conventional mortgage loans that are past due 90 days or more, or classified under regulatory criteria (Sub-standard, Doubtful or Loss), and, beginning in the third quarter of 2012, loans that are in bankruptcy regardless of their delinquency status, are evaluated separately on a loan level basis for impairment.  The FHLBNY bases its provision for credit losses on its estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the impaired MPF loan.  The FHLBNY computes the provision for credit losses without considering the private mortgage insurance and other accompanying credit enhancement features, which provide additional credit assurance to the FHLBNY.  Conventional mortgage loans, except FHA- and VA-insured loans, are analyzed under liquidation scenarios on a loan level basis, and identified losses are fully reserved.  Management determines the liquidation value of the real property collateral supporting the impaired loan after deducting costs to liquidate.  That value is compared to the carrying value of the impaired mortgage loan, and a shortfall is recorded as an allowance for credit losses.  This methodology is applied on a loan level basis.  When a loan is foreclosed and the Bank takes possession of real estate, the Bank will charge any excess carrying value over the net realizable value of the foreclosed loan to the allowance for credit losses.

Only FHA- and VA-insured MPF loans are evaluated collectively.  FHA- and VA-insured mortgage loans have minimal inherent credit risk, and credit risk of such loans generally arises from servicers defaulting on their obligations.  If adversely classified, the FHLBNY will have reserves established only in the event of a default of a PFI, and reserves would be based on the estimated costs to recover any uninsured portion of the MPF loan.

Classes of the MPF loan portfolio would be subject to disaggregation to the extent that it is needed to understand the exposure to credit risk arising from these loans.  The FHLBNY has determined that no further disaggregation of portfolio segments is needed, other than the methodology discussed above.

Credit Enhancement Fees

The credit enhancement fee (“CE fees”) due to the PFI for taking on a credit enhancement obligation is accrued based on the master commitments outstanding, and for certain MPF products the CE fees are held back for 12 months and then paid monthly to the PFIs.  Under the MPF agreements with PFIs, the FHLBNY may recover credit losses from future CE fees.  The FHLBNY does not consider CE fees when computing the allowance for credit losses.  It is assumed that repayment is expected to be provided solely by the sale of the underlying property, and that there is no other available and reliable source of repayment.  Any incurred losses that would be recovered from the credit enhancements are also not reserved as part of the allowance for credit loan losses.  In such cases, the FHLBNY would withhold CE fee payments to PFIs.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Allowances for credit losses have been recorded against the uninsured MPF loans.  All other types of mortgage loans were insignificant and no allowances were necessary.  The following provides a roll-forward analysis of the allowance for credit losses (a) (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,
	2013			2012			2013			2012
Allowance for credit losses:
Beginning balance	$	6,414		$	6,878		$	6,982		$	6,786
Charge-offs	(140		)	(228		)	(1,556		)	(930		)
Recoveries	203			36			846			171
Provision/(Reversal) for credit losses on mortgage loans	(151		)	234			54			893
Ending balance	$	6,326		$	6,920		$	6,326		$	6,920
Ending balance, individually evaluated for impairment	$	6,326		$	6,920		$	6,326		$	6,920
							September 30, 2013			December 31, 2012
Recorded investment, end of period:
Individually evaluated for impairment
Impaired, with or without a related allowance (b)							$	30,619		$	31,596
Not impaired, no related allowance							1,804,690			1,754,852
Total uninsured mortgage loans							$	1,835,309		$	1,786,448
Collectively evaluated for impairment (c)
Impaired, with or without a related allowance							$	595		$	413
Not impaired, no related allowance							112,276			71,741
Total insured mortgage loans							$	112,871		$	72,154

(a) Allowance for credit losses has been stable, in line with declining nonperforming loans, which is consistent with the stability in housing prices/liquidation values of real property securing impaired loans.

(b) Loans considered impaired have remained almost unchanged as delinquency rates have stabilized.

(c) FHA- and VA loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.  Loans past due 90 days or more were considered for impairment but credit analysis indicated funds would be collected and no allowance was necessary.

Non-performing Loans

The FHLBNY’s impaired mortgage loans are reported in the table below (in thousands):

	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Total Mortgage loans, net of allowance for credit losses (a)	$	1,932,855	$	1,842,816
Non-performing mortgage loans - Conventional (b)	$	27,749	$	28,458
Insured MPF loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest (b)	$	577	$	410

(a) Includes loans classified as sub-standard, doubtful or loss under FHFA regulatory criteria, reported at carrying value.

(b) Data in this table represents unpaid principal balance, and would not agree to data reported in table below at “recorded investment,” which includes interest receivable.  Loans in bankruptcy status and past due 90 days or more (nonaccrual status) are included.

The following table summarizes the recorded investment in impaired loans, the unpaid principal balance, and related allowance (individually assessed for impairment), and the average recorded investment of impaired loans (in thousands):

	September 30, 2013						Three months ended September 30, 2013				Nine months ended September 30, 2013

Total Conventional MPF Loans (a)	$	31,596	$	31,641	$	6,982	$	29,566	$	—

(a) Based on analysis of the nature of risks of the Bank’s investments in MPF loans, including its methodologies for identifying and measuring impairment, the management of the FHLBNY has determined that presenting such loans as a single class is appropriate.

(b) Collateral values, net of estimated costs to sell, exceeded the recorded investments in impaired loans and no allowances were deemed necessary.

(c) The Bank does not record interest received as Interest income if an uninsured loan is past due 90 days or more.

Loans discharged from bankruptcy are classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”), and are measured for impairment if the loan is past due 90 days or more.  Loans currently in bankruptcy status, regardless of their delinquency status, are considered impaired and measured for impairment.  The allowance for credit losses in the table above includes allowances recorded for all impaired loans.  Prior to the third quarter of 2012, loans in bankruptcy were considered impaired if past due 90 days or more.

Mortgage Loans — Interest on Non-performing Loans

The FHLBNY’s interest contractually due and actually received for non-performing loans were as follows (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Interest contractually due (a)	$	425	$	482	$	1,222	$	1,444
Interest actually received	387		379		1,115		1,169
Shortfall	$	38	$	103	$	107	$	275

(a) The Bank does not accrue interest income on conventional loans past due 90 days or more.  If cash is received as settlement of interest on loans past due 90 days or more, it is considered as an advance from the PFI or the servicer and cash received is subject to reversal if the loan goes into foreclosure.  Cash received is recorded as a liability until the impaired loan is performing again.  The table summarizes interest income that was not recognized in earnings.  It also summarizes the actual cash that was received against interest due, but not recognized.

Recorded investments in MPF loans that were past due, and real estate owned are summarized below.  Recorded investments, which includes accrued interest receivable, would not equal carrying values reported elsewhere (dollars in thousands):

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) and MPF modification — As described more fully in Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates in the Bank’s most recent Form 10K filed on March 25, 2013, the MPF Program introduced a temporary modification plan that is available to PFIs.  MPF restructurings primarily involve modifying the borrower’s monthly payment for a period of up to 36 months, with a cap based on a ratio of the borrower’s housing expense to monthly income.  The outstanding principal balance is re-amortized to reflect a principal and interest payment for a term not to exceed 40 years.  This would result in a balloon payment at the original maturity date of the loan as the maturity date and number of remaining monthly payments is unchanged.  If the housing expense ratio is still not met, the interest rate is reduced for up to 36 months in 0.125% increments below the original loan rate, to a floor rate of 3.00%, resulting in reduced principal and interest payments until the target housing expense ratio is met.  No loans were modified in any periods in this report.  At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, outstanding balances of MPF loans include four loans that had been modified in 2011.  Due to the temporary nature of the modification provisions allowed under the MPF Plan (up to 36 months), loans modified are considered impaired only if they are past due 90 days or more or in bankruptcy.  One of the four modified loans was in bankruptcy status at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  Another loan was in foreclosure status at September 30, 2013.  The allowance for credit losses on those impaired loans were evaluated individually and insignificant amounts of credit losses were recorded at September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012.

Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2012, the FHLBNY includes MPF loans discharged from bankruptcy as TDRs, and $9.2 million of such loans were outstanding at September 30, 2013, and $8.8 million at December 31, 2012.  The FHLBNY has determined that the discharge of mortgage debt in bankruptcy is a concession as defined under existing accounting literature for TDRs.  A loan discharged from bankruptcy is assessed individually for credit impairment only if past due 90 days or more.  Of the $9.2 million of loans that were discharged from bankruptcy, $0.8 million were impaired because they were past due 90 days or more, and the recorded allowance for credit losses associated with those loans were not significant at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  Prior to the fourth quarter of 2012, the FHLBNY’s policy did not consider loans discharged from bankruptcy as TDR.

Forgiveness information that would be required under the disclosure standards for loans deemed TDR has been omitted as the MPF modification program limits loan terms that can be modified for up to 36 months, after which period the borrower is required to adhere to the original terms of the loan.  Other than being released from bankruptcy, the borrowers were not allowed any other concessions.

The following table summarizes performing and non-performing troubled debt restructurings balances (in thousands):

	September 30, 2013						December 31, 2012
Recorded Investment Outstanding	Performing		Non- performing		Total TDR		Performing		Non- performing		Total TDR

Note   1. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates.

Change in Accounting Principle

During the period ended December 31, 2012, the FHLBNY changed its presentation of the amortization of fair value hedge basis adjustments of modified advances.  From time to time, the FHLBNY will enter into an agreement with a member to modify the terms of an existing advance.  If the FHLBNY determines the modification is minor, the subsequent advance is considered a modification of the original advance.  If the modified advance is also hedged under a qualifying fair value hedge, the fair value basis adjustment at the modification date will be amortized over the life of the modified advance on a level-yield basis even if the modified advance was designated after modification in a fair value hedge relationship.  Prior to the change, the FHLBNY had previously made an accounting policy election to present the amortization of the hedge basis adjustment as a component of Interest income from advances.  Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2012, the FHLBNY began presenting the amortization of fair value basis of the modified hedged advance in Other income (loss) as a Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities.  The change in presentation is preferable as the Interest income from advances would not be impacted by the amortization if the advance is continuously hedged, and the total Interest income and Net interest income would more closely reflect the economics of the FHLBNY’s interest margin.  The preferability of one acceptable method of accounting over another for hedge adjustments to an hedged item, which continues to be hedged when simultaneously dedesignated from one hedge relationship and redesignated into another hedge relationship, has not been addressed in any authoritative accounting literature.  The FHLBNY reclassified the appropriate line items in the Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, which reflects an increase in reported Interest income from Advances within Net interest income by $30.1 million and $88.3 million and corresponding decreases in Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) from derivatives and hedging activities in Other income (loss).  The change in presentation had no impact on Net income for any periods in this report since the change impacted only the presentation of the amortization of the hedge basis adjustment.

The following table summarizes the reclassifications (in thousands):

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

The FHLBNY has identified certain accounting policies that it believes are significant 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 by using different assumptions.  These policies include estimating the allowance for credit losses on the advance and mortgage loan portfolios, evaluating the impairment of the Bank’s securities portfolios, and estimating fair values of certain assets and liabilities.  There have been no significant changes to accounting policies from those identified in Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates in Notes to the Financial Statements in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2013, which contains a summary of the Bank’s significant accounting policies and estimates.

Recently Adopted Significant Accounting Policies

Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. — In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.  The ASU requires new footnote disclosures of items reclassified from accumulated OCI to net income.  The requirements became effective in the first quarter of 2013.  For the FHLBNY, the expanded disclosures include reclassifications from AOCI for previously recorded non-credit losses due to OTTI, realized gains and losses due to cash flow hedges, gains and losses due to changes in assumptions of supplemental pension and postretirement benefit plans, and reclassifications of gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.  The application of this guidance resulted in expanded disclosures and had no impact on the FHLBNY’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.  See Note 13.  Total Comprehensive Income.

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. — In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210):  Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.  The standard requires enhanced disclosures about certain financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset in the balance sheet (presented on a net basis) or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar arrangement.  In January 2013, the FASB clarified that the scope of this guidance is limited to derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions.

The new disclosures requirements should enhance comparability between those companies that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).  On adoption, this guidance will require the FHLBNY to disclose both gross and net information about certain financial instruments and derivative instruments, which are either offset on the statement of condition or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement.  This guidance became effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2013 and was applied retrospectively for all comparative periods presented.  The application of this guidance resulted in additional disclosures and had no impact on the FHLBNY’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.  See Note 16.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Note 15. Employee Retirement Plans.

The Bank participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (“Pentegra DB Plan”), a tax-qualified, defined-benefit multiemployer pension plan that covers all officers and employees of the Bank.  The Bank also participates in the Pentegra Defined Contribution Plan for Financial Institutions, a tax-qualified defined contribution plan.  In addition, the Bank maintains a Benefit Equalization Plan (“BEP”) that restores defined benefits for those employees who have had their qualified defined benefits limited by IRS regulations.  The BEP is an unfunded plan.  The Bank also offers a Retiree Medical Benefit Plan, which is a postretirement health benefit plan.  There are no funded plan assets that have been designated to provide postretirement health benefits.

Retirement Plan Expenses —Summary

The following table presents employee retirement plan expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the same periods in 2012 (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Defined Benefit Plan (a)	$	189	$	175	$	567	$	1,485
Benefit Equalization Plan (defined benefit)	989		908		2,967		2,725
Defined Contribution Plan	387		379		1,176		1,144
Postretirement Health Benefit Plan	383		372		1,151		1,119
Total retirement plan expenses	$	1,948	$	1,834	$	5,861	$	6,473

(a) In July 2012, Congress enacted a bill under the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2012 — Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (“MAP-21”), which includes pension plan provisions intended to ease the negative effect of historically low interest rates. Previously, a plan sponsor could elect to calculate future pension obligations based on either the “yield curve” of corporate investment-grade bonds for the preceding month, or three “segment rates” that are drawn from the average yield curves over the most recent 24-month period. The primary change under the relief bill is to allow calculation of discount rates based over a 25 year period — a much longer period than the two-year period previously used to determine segment rates. The FHLBNY’s Defined Benefit Plan participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan pension, which has adopted the relief provisions noted above, and adoption resulted in a significant reduction in plan expenses.  The FHLBNY paid in $0.7 million for the plan period July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013. The amount recorded represents the minimum amount payable under the relief provided by MAP-21.  For the plan year ended June 30, 2014, the pension expense was accrued at an annual rate of $0.7 million.  The Pentegra DB Plan operates with a fiscal year that ends on June 30, and pension plan expenses paid are prorated and recorded over the FHLBNY’s calendar year.

Components of the net periodic pension cost for the defined benefit component of the BEP were as follows (in thousands):

Commitments and Contingencies.

Commitments and Contingencies.

Commitments and Contingencies.

Note 18. 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 Agency.  Neither the FHLBNY nor any other FHLBank has ever had to assume or pay the consolidated obligations 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 the provisions of accounting standards for guarantees, the Bank would have 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 exception under the accounting standard for guarantees.  Accordingly, the FHLBNY has not recognized the fair value of a liability for its joint and several obligations related to other FHLBanks’ consolidated obligations, which in aggregate was $0.7 trillion at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Standby letters of credit are executed for a fee on behalf of members to facilitate residential housing, community lending, and members’ asset/liability management or to provide liquidity.  A standby letter of credit is a financing arrangement between the FHLBNY and its member.  Members assume an unconditional obligation to reimburse the FHLBNY for value given by the FHLBNY to the beneficiary under the terms of the standby letter of credit.  The FHLBNY may, in its discretion, permit the member to finance repayment of their obligation by receiving a collateralized advance.  Outstanding standby letters of credit were $8.0 billion and $6.6 billion as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, with original terms of up to 15 years, with a final expiration in 2019.  Standby letters of credit are fully collateralized.  Unearned fees on standby letters of credit were recorded in Other liabilities, and were not significant as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

MPF Program — Under the MPF program, the FHLBNY was unconditionally obligated to purchase $12.0 million and $25.2 million of mortgage loans at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  Commitments were generally for periods not to exceed 45 business days.  Such commitments were recorded as derivatives at their fair value under the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging.  In addition, the FHLBNY had entered into conditional agreements under “Master Commitments” with its members in the MPF program to purchase mortgage loans in aggregate of $1.2 billion and $0.9 billion as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Future benefit payments — Pension stabilization in a bill passed in 2012, known as Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (“MAP-21”) allows companies to set their pension plan contributions using a rate based on high-quality bond yields averaged over 25 years.  Before MAP-21, the rule was two years using current rates.  Allowing plan sponsors to use the higher of the two averages under MAP-21 resulted in a lower pension liability, and lower minimum required contributions for plan years 2012 and 2013.  MAP-21 it is not a permanent relief as lower contributions are likely to mean higher contributions in the future.  Over time, the pension funding stabilization will result in higher contributions starting in 2014 as projected rates under the MAP-21 relief continue to decrease.

The FHLBNY expects to contribute an estimated $2.7 million over the next 12 months towards its Defined Benefit Plan, a multiemployer pension plan.  Pentegra Retirement Services, which operates the multiemployer pension plan has advised the FHLBNY that it projects the minimum required contribution for the FHLBNY will increase to $7.8 million with the plan period beginning July 1, 2014.  The projection is based on a number of assumptions, principally that the FHLBNY’s plan provisions will remain substantially unchanged, there will be no significant increase in underlying real interest rates and MAP-21 interest rates will decline next year by approximately 60 basis points.  As with all projections, actual minimum required contributions in future periods might differ from those projected at this time.

Derivative contracts — The FHLBNY executes derivatives with major financial institutions and enters into bilateral collateral agreements.  When counterparties are exposed, the Bank would typically pledge cash collateral to mitigate the counterparty’s credit exposure.  To mitigate the counterparties’ exposures, the FHLBNY deposited $1.7 billion and $2.5 billion in cash with derivative counterparties as pledged collateral at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and these amounts were reported as a deduction to Derivative liabilities.

Issuance of discount notes - The FHLBNY had committed to the issuance of $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion in consolidated obligation discount notes at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, as part of cash flow hedging strategy, described as “Cash flow hedges of rolling issuances of discount notes”.  Further information is provided in Note 16. Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Lease contracts — Lease agreements for FHLBNY premises generally provide for inflationary increases in the basic rentals resulting from increases in property taxes and maintenance expenses, and these expenses were not material.  There has been no material change with respect to lease obligations that was previously disclosed in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2013.

The following table summarizes contractual obligations and contingencies as of September 30, 2013 (in thousands):

(a) Contractual obligations related to interest payments on long-term debt are calculated by applying the weighted average interest rate on the FHLBNY’s outstanding long-term debt as of September 30, 2013 to the contractual payment obligations on long-term debt for each of the periods disclosed in the table.  At September 30, 2013, the FHLBNY’s overall weighted average contractual interest rate for long-term debt was 0.88%.  Callable bonds contain an exercise date or a series of exercise dates that may result in a shorter redemption period. Mandatorily redeemable capital stock is categorized by the dates at which the corresponding member obligations mature. Excess capital stock is redeemed at that time, and hence, these dates better represent the related commitments than the put dates associated with capital stock, under which stock may not be redeemed until the later of five years from the date the member becomes a nonmember or the related advance matures.

(b) Includes accounts payable and accrued expenses, Pass-through reserves at the FRB on behalf of certain members of the FHLBNY recorded in Other liabilities on the Statements of Condition.  Also includes projected payment obligations for the Postretirement Health Benefit Plan and Benefit Equalization Plan.  For more information about these employee retirement plans, see Note 15.  Employee Retirement Plans.

The FHLBNY does not anticipate any credit losses from its off-balance sheet commitments and accordingly no provision for losses was required.

Impact of the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers

From time to time, the Bank is involved in disputes or regulatory inquiries that arise in the ordinary course of business. At the present time, except as noted below, there are no pending claims against the Bank that, if established, are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Bank’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (“LBHI”), the parent company of Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc. (“LBSF”) and a guarantor of LBSF’s obligations, filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York. LBSF filed for protection under Chapter 11 in the same court on October 3, 2008.  A Chapter 11 plan was confirmed in their bankruptcy cases by order of the Bankruptcy Court dated December 6, 2011 (the “Plan”).  The Plan became effective on March 6, 2012.

LBSF was a counterparty to FHLBNY on multiple derivative transactions under an International Swap Dealers Association, Inc. master agreement with a total notional amount of $16.5 billion at the time of termination of the Bank’s derivative transactions with LBSF.  The net amount that was due to the Bank after giving effect to obligations that were due LBSF was approximately $65 million.  The Bank filed timely proofs of claim in the amount of approximately $65 million as creditors of LBSF and LBHI in connection with the bankruptcy proceedings.  The Bank fully reserved the LBSF and LBHI receivables as the dispute with LBSF described below make the timing and the amount of any recoveries uncertain.

As previously reported, the Bank received a Derivatives ADR Notice from LBSF dated July 23, 2010 claiming that the Bank was liable to LBSF under the master agreement.  Subsequently, in accordance with the Alternative Dispute Resolution Procedure Order entered by the Bankruptcy Court dated September 17, 2009 (“Order”), the Bank responded to LBSF on August 23, 2010, denying LBSF’s Demand. LBSF served a reply on September 7, 2010, effectively reiterating its position.  A mediation conducted pursuant to the Order commenced on December 8, 2010 and concluded without settlement on March 17, 2011. LBSF claims that the Bank is liable to it in the principal amount of approximately $198 million plus interest on such principal amount from the Early Termination Date to December 1, 2008 at an interest rate equal to the average of the cost of funds of the Bank and LBSF on the Early Termination Date, and after December 1, 2008 at a default interest rate of LIBOR plus 13.5%. LBSF’s asserted claim as of December 6, 2010, including principal and interest, was approximately $268 million.  Pursuant to the Order, positions taken by the parties in the ADR process are confidential.  While the Bank believes that LBSF’s position is without merit, and therefore no payment to LBSF or LBHI is probable, the amount the Bank actually recovers or pays will ultimately be decided in the course of the bankruptcy proceedings.

(a) Level 3 Instruments — The fair values of private-label MBS and housing finance agency bonds were estimated by management based on pricing services.  Valuations may have required pricing services to use significant inputs that were subjective because of the current lack of significant market activity so that the inputs may not be market based and observable.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The FHLBNY records available-for-sale securities, derivative assets, derivative liabilities, certain consolidated obligations and advances elected under the FVO, and certain other liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis.  On a non-recurring basis, certain held-to-maturity securities determined to be OTTI are also measured and recorded at their fair values.  The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The inputs are evaluated and an overall level for the fair value measurement is determined.  This overall level is an indication of market observability of the fair value measurement for the asset or liability.  An entity must disclose the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurements are classified for all assets and liabilities measured on a recurring or non-recurring basis.

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

· Level 1 Inputs — Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the reporting entity can access on the measurement date.

· Level 2 Inputs — Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable inputs for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.  Level 2 inputs include the following: (1) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (2) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; (3) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals, and volatilities).

· Level 3 Inputs — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The FHLBNY reviews its fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis.  Changes in the observability of the valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of certain assets or liabilities.  These reclassifications are reported as transfers in/out as of the beginning of the quarter in which the changes occur.  There were no such transfers in any periods in this report.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from product to product and is affected by a wide variety of factors including, for example, the characteristics peculiar to the transaction.  To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment.  Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the FHLBNY in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized as Level 3.  In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In such cases, for disclosure purposes the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Summary of Valuation Techniques and Primary Inputs

The fair value of a financial instrument that is an asset is defined as the price the FHLBNY would receive to sell the asset in an orderly transaction with market participants.  A financial liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor.  Where available, fair values are based on observable market prices or parameters, or derived from such prices or parameters.  Where observable prices are not available, valuation models and inputs are utilized.  These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or markets and the instruments’ complexity.

Because an active secondary market does not exist for a portion of the FHLBNY’s financial instruments, in certain cases, fair values are not subject to precise quantification or verification and may change as economic and market factors and evaluation of those factors change.  The fair values of financial assets and liabilities reported in the tables above are discussed below.

Cash and Due from Banks — The estimated fair value approximates the recorded book balance.

Interest-bearing Deposits and Federal Funds Sold — The FHLBNY determines estimated fair values of short-term investments by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows from the investments, a methodology also referred to as the Income approach under the Fair value measurement standards.  The discount rates used in these calculations are the current coupons of investments with similar terms.  Inputs into the cash flow models employed by the Bank are the yields on the instruments and are market based and observable and are considered to be within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investment Securities — The fair value of investment securities is estimated by the FHLBNY using information primarily from pricing services.  This methodology is also referred to as the Market approach under the Fair value measurement standards.  Carrying value of a security is the same as its amortized cost, unless the security is determined to be OTTI.  In the period the security is determined to be OTTI, its carrying value is generally adjusted down to its fair value.

Mortgage-backed securities — The FHLBNY’s valuation technique incorporates prices from up to four designated third-party pricing services, when available.  The FHLBNY’s base investment pricing methodology establishes a median price for each security using a formula that is based on the number of prices received.  If four prices are received from the four pricing vendors, the average of the two middle prices is used; if three prices are received, the middle price is used; if two prices are received, the average of the two prices is used; and if one price is received, it is used subject to further validation.  Vendor prices that are outside of a defined tolerance threshold of the median price are identified as outliers and subject to additional review, including, but not limited to, comparison to prices provided by an additional third-party valuation service, prices for similar securities, and/or non-binding dealer estimates, or use of internal model prices, which are deemed to be reflective of all relevant facts and circumstances that a market participant would consider.  Such analysis is also applied in those limited instances where no third-party vendor price or only one third-party vendor price is available in order to arrive at an estimated fair value.  In its analysis, the FHLBNY has also introduced the concept of clustering pricing, and to predefine cluster tolerances.  Once the median prices are computed from the four pricing vendors, the second step is to determine which of the sourced prices fall within the required tolerance level interval to the median price, which forms the “cluster” of prices to be averaged.  This average will determine a “default” price for the security.  To be included among the cluster, each price must fall within 10 points of the median price for residential PLMBS and within 3 points of the median price for GSE issued MBS.  The cluster tolerance guidelines shall be reviewed annually and may be revised as necessary.  The final step is to determine the final price of the security based on the cluster average and an evaluation of any outlier prices.  If the analysis confirms that an outlier is not representative of fair value and that the average of the vendor prices within the tolerance threshold of the median price is the best estimate, then the average of the vendor prices within the tolerance threshold of the median price is used as the final price.  If, on the other hand, an outlier (or some other price identified in the analysis) is determined to be a better estimate of fair value, then the outlier (or the other price as appropriate) is used as the final price.  In all cases, the final price is used to determine the fair value of the security.

The FHLBNY has also established that the pricing vendors use methods that generally employ, but are not limited to, benchmark yields, recent trades, dealer estimates, valuation models, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and/or matrix pricing.  To validate vendor prices of PLMBS, the FHLBNY has also adopted a formal process to examine yields as an additional validation method.  The FHLBNY calculates an implied yield for each of its PLMBS using estimated fair values derived from cash flows on a bond-by-bond basis.  This yield is then compared to the implied yield for comparable securities according to price information from third-party MBS “market surveillance reports”.  Significant variances or inconsistencies are evaluated in conjunction with all of the other available pricing information.  The objective is to determine whether an adjustment to the fair value estimate is appropriate.

Based on the FHLBNY’s review processes, management has concluded that inputs into the pricing models employed by pricing services for the Bank’s investments in GSE securities are market based and observable and are considered to be within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.  The valuation of the FHLBNY’s private-label securities, all designated as held-to-maturity, may require pricing services to use significant inputs that are subjective and are considered to be within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  This determination was made based on management’s view that the private-label instruments may not have an active market because of the specific vintage of the securities as well as inherent conditions surrounding the trading of private-label MBS, so that the inputs may not be market based and observable.  Certain held-to-maturity private-label MBS were deemed OTTI at December 31, 2012 (none at September 30, 2013, or at any time in 2013) and were written down to their fair values, so that their carrying values recorded in the balance sheet equaled their fair values, which were classified on a nonrecurring basis as Level 3 financial instruments under the valuation hierarchy.

Housing finance agency bonds - The fair value of housing finance agency bonds is estimated by management using information primarily from pricing services.  Because of the current lack of significant market activity, their fair values were categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as inputs into vendor pricing models may not be market based and observable.

Advances — The fair values of advances are computed using standard option valuation models.  The most significant inputs to the valuation model are (1) consolidated obligation debt curve (“CO Curve”), published by the Office of Finance and available to the public, and (2) LIBOR swap curves and volatilities.  The Bank considers both these inputs to be market based and observable as they can be directly corroborated by market participants.

The FHLBNY determines the fair values of its advances by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows from the advances, a methodology also referred to as the Income approach under the Fair value measurement standards.  The discount rates used in these calculations are equivalent to the replacement advance rates for advances with similar terms.  In accordance with the Finance Agency’s advances regulations, an advance with a maturity or repricing period greater than six months requires a prepayment fee sufficient to make a FHLBank financially indifferent to the borrower’s decision to prepay the advance.  Therefore, the fair value of an advance does not assume prepayment risk.

The inputs used to determine fair value of advances are as follows:

· CO Curve.  The FHLBNY uses the CO Curve, which represents its cost of funds, as an input to estimate the fair value of advances, and to determine current advance rates.  This input is considered market observable and therefore a Level 2 input.

· Volatility assumption.  To estimate the fair value of advances with optionality, the FHLBNY uses market-based expectations of future interest rate volatility implied from current market prices for similar options. This input is considered a Level 2 input as it is market based and market observable.

· Spread adjustment.  Adjustments represent the FHLBNY’s mark-up based on its pricing strategy.  The input is considered as unobservable, and is classified as a Level 3 input.  The spread adjustment is not a significant input to the overall fair value of an advance.

The FHLBNY creates an internal curve, which is interpolated from its advance rates.  Advance rates are calculated by applying a spread to an underlying “base curve” derived from the FHLBNY’s cost of funds, which is based on the CO Curve, inputs to which have been determined to be market observable and classified as Level 2.  The spreads applied to the base advance pricing curve typically represent the FHLBNY’s mark-ups over the FHLBNY’s cost of funds, and are not market observable inputs, but are based on the FHLBNY’s advance pricing strategy.  Such inputs have been classified as a Level 3.  For the FHLBNY, Level 3 inputs were considered not significant.

To determine the appropriate classification of the overall measurement in the fair value hierarchy of an advance, an analysis of the inputs to the entire fair value measurement was performed at September 30, 2013 and at December 31, 2012.  If the unobservable spread to the FHLBNY’s cost of funds was not significant to the overall fair value, then the measurement was classified as Level 2.  Conversely, if the unobservable spread was significant to the overall fair value, then the measurement would be classified as Level 3.  The impact of the unobservable input was calculated as the difference in the value determined by discounting an advance’s cash flows using the FHLBNY’s advance curve and the value determined by discounting an advance’s cash flows using the FHLBNY’s cost of funds curve.  Given the relatively small mark-ups over the FHLBNY’s cost of funds, the results of the FHLBNY’s quantitative analysis confirmed the FHLBNY’s expectations that the measurement of the FHLBNY’s advances was Level 2.  The unobservable mark-up spreads were not significant to the overall fair value of the instrument.  A quantitative threshold for significance factor was established at 10 percent, with additional qualitative factors to be considered if the ratio exceeded the threshold.

The FHLBNY has elected the FVO designation for certain advances and recorded their fair values in the Statements of Conditions for such advances.  The CO Curve was the primary input, which is market based and observable.  Inputs to apply spreads, which are FHLBNY specific, were not material.  Fair values were classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Other Assets — The estimated fair values approximate the recorded book value because of the relatively short period of time between their origination and expected realization.

Mortgage Loans (MPF Loans)

A.  Principal and/or Most Advantageous Market and Market Participants

The FHLBNY may sell mortgage loans to another FHLBank or in the secondary mortgage market.  Because transactions between FHLBanks occur infrequently, the FHLBNY has identified the secondary mortgage market as the principal market for mortgage loans under the MPF programs.  Also, based on the nature of the supporting collateral to the MPF loans held by FHLBNY, the presentation of a single class for all products within the MPF product types is considered appropriate.  As described below, the FHLBNY believes that the market participants within the secondary mortgage market for the MPF portfolio would differ primarily whether qualifying or non-qualifying loans are being sold.

Qualifying Loans — The FHLBNY believes that a market participant is an entity that would buy qualifying mortgage loans for the purpose of securitization and subsequent resale as a security.  Other government-sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”), specifically Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), conduct the majority of such activity in the United States, but there are other commercial banks and financial institutions that periodically conduct business in this market.  Therefore, the FHLBNY has identified market participants for qualifying loans to include (1) all GSEs, and (2) other commercial banks and financial institutions that are independent of the FHLBank System.

Non-qualifying Loans — For the FHLBNY, non-qualifying loans are primarily impaired loans.  The FHLBNY believes that it is unlikely the GSE market participants would willingly buy loans that did not meet their normal criteria or underwriting standards.  However, a market exists with commercial banks and financial institutions other than GSEs where such market participants buy non-qualifying loans in order to securitize them as they become current, resell them in the secondary market, or hold them in their portfolios.  Therefore, the FHLBNY has identified the market participants for non-qualifying loans to include other commercial banks and financial institutions that are independent of the FHLBank System.

B.  Fair Value at Initial Recognition — MPF Loans

The FHLBNY believes that the transaction price (entry price) may differ from the fair value (exit price) at initial recognition because it is determined using a different method than subsequent fair value measurements.  However, because mortgage loans are not measured at fair value in the balance sheet, day one gains and losses would not be applicable.  Additionally, all mortgage loans were performing at the time of origination.

The FHLBNY receives an entry price from the FHLBank of Chicago, the MPF Provider, at the time of acquisition. This entry price is based on the TBA rates, as well as exit prices received from market participants, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.  The price is adjusted for specific MPF program characteristics and may be further adjusted by the FHLBNY to accommodate changing market conditions.  Because of the adjustments, in many cases, the entry price would not equal the exit price at the time of acquisition.

C. Valuation Technique, Inputs and Hierarchy

The FHLBNY calculates the fair value of the entire mortgage loan portfolio using a valuation technique referred to as the “market approach”.  Loans are aggregated into synthetic pass-through securities based on product type, loan origination year, gross coupon and loan term.  The fair values are based on TBA rates (or agency commitment rates), as discussed above, adjusted primarily for seasonality.  The fair values of impaired MPF are also based on TBA rates and are adjusted for a haircut value on the underlying collateral value.  The FHLBNY validates the impairment adjustment made to TBA rates by “back-testing” against incurred losses.

TBA and agency commitment rates are market observable and therefore classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.  Any inputs derived from observable market data also result in a Level 2 classification.  Any inputs based on unobservable assumptions would be classified as Level 3 inputs.  Since most of the FHLBNY mortgage loans are currently performing and no credit losses are expected, any Level 3 inputs are generally insignificant to the total measurement and therefore the measurement of most loans may be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. However, many of the credit and default risk related inputs involved with the valuation techniques described above may be considered unobservable due to variety of reasons (e.g., lack of market activity for a particular loan, inherent judgment involved in property estimates).  If unobservable inputs are considered significant, the loans would be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.  Therefore, loans with expected credit losses may result in Level 2 or Level 3 classifications depending upon the significance of unobservable inputs used.

Consolidated Obligations — The FHLBNY estimates the fair values of consolidated obligations based on the present values of expected future cash flows due on the debt obligations.  Calculations are performed by using the FHLBNY’s industry standard option adjusted valuation models.  Inputs are based on the cost of raising comparable term debt.

The FHLBNY’s internal valuation models use standard valuation techniques and estimate fair values based on the following inputs:

· CO Curve and LIBOR Swap Curve.  The Office of Finance constructs an internal curve, referred to as the CO Curve, using the U.S. Treasury Curve as a base curve that is then adjusted by adding indicative spreads obtained from market observable sources.  These market indications are generally derived from pricing indications from dealers, historical pricing relationships, recent GSE trades and secondary market activity.  The FHLBNY considers the inputs as Level 2 inputs as they are market observable.

· Volatility assumption.  To estimate the fair values of consolidated obligations with optionality, the FHLBNY uses market-based expectations of future interest rate volatility implied from current market prices for similar options.  These inputs are also considered Level 2 as they are market based and observable.

The FHLBNY has elected the FVO designation for certain consolidated obligation debt and recorded their fair values in the Statements of Conditions.  The CO Curve and volatility assumptions (for debt with call options) were primary inputs, which are market based and observable.  Fair values were classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities — The FHLBNY’s derivatives are traded in the over-the-counter market.  Discounted cash flow analysis is the primary methodology employed by the FHLBNY’s valuation models to measure the fair values of interest rate swaps.  The valuation technique is considered as an “Income approach”.  Interest rate caps and floors are valued under the “Market approach”.  Interest rate swaps and interest rate caps and floors, collectively “derivatives”, were valued in industry-standard option adjusted valuation models, which generated fair values.  The valuation models employed multiple market inputs including interest rates, prices and indices to create continuous yield or pricing curves and volatility factors.  These multiple market inputs were corroborated by management to independent market data, and to relevant benchmark indices.  In addition, derivative valuations were compared by management to counterparty valuations received as part of the collateral exchange process.  These derivative positions were classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

The Bank’s valuation model utilizes a modified Black-Karasinski model that assumes that rates are distributed log normally.  The log-normal model precludes interest rates turning negative in the model computations.  Significant market based and observable inputs into the valuation model include volatilities and interest rates.  The Bank’s valuation model employs industry standard market-observable inputs (inputs that are actively quoted and can be validated to external sources).  Inputs by class of derivative were as follows:

Interest-rate related:

· LIBOR Swap Curve.

· Volatility assumption.  Market-based expectations of future interest rate volatility implied from current market prices for similar options.

· Prepayment assumption (if applicable).

· Federal funds curve (OIS curve).

Mortgage delivery commitments (considered a derivative):

· TBA security prices are adjusted for differences in coupon, average loan rate and seasoning.

OIS adoption — Beginning with December 31, 2012 and at September 30, 2013, the FHLBNY has incorporated overnight indexed swap (“OIS”) curves as fair value measurement inputs for the valuation of its derivatives, as the OIS curves reflect the interest rates paid on cash collateral provided against the fair value of these derivatives.  The FHLBNY believes using relevant OIS curves as inputs to determine fair value measurements provides a more representative reflection of the fair values of these collateralized interest-rate related derivatives.  The OIS curve (Federal funds curve) was an additional input incorporated into the valuation model.  The input for the federal funds curve is obtained from industry standard pricing vendors and the input is available and observable over its entire term structure.  Management considers the federal funds curve to be a Level 2 input.  The FHLBNY’s valuation model utilizes industry standard OIS methodology.  The model generates forecasted cash flows using the OIS calibrated 3-month LIBOR curve.  The model then discounts the cash flows by the OIS curve to generate fair values.  Previously, the FHLBNY used the 3-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) curve as the relevant benchmark curve for its derivatives and as the discounting rate for these collateralized interest-rate related derivatives.  The impact of the adoption of OIS on the FHLBNY’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows was not material.

Credit risk and credit valuation adjustments — The FHLBNY is subject to credit risk in derivatives transactions due to the potential nonperformance of its derivatives counterparties, which are generally highly rated institutions.  To mitigate this risk, the FHLBNY has entered into master netting agreements with its derivative counterparties.  To further limit the FHLBNY’s net unsecured credit exposure to those counterparties, the FHLBNY has entered into bilateral security agreements with all of its derivatives counterparties that provide for the delivery of collateral at specified levels.

The valuation of derivative assets and liabilities reflect the value of the instrument including the values associated with counterparty risk and would also take into account the FHLBNY’s own credit standing and non-performance risk.  The Bank has collateral agreements with all its derivative counterparties and enforces collateral exchanges at least weekly.  The computed fair values of the FHLBNY’s derivatives took into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements that allow the FHLBNY to settle positive and negative positions and offset cash collateral with the same counterparty on a net basis.  The Bank and each of its derivative counterparties have bilateral collateral thresholds that take into account both the Bank and counterparty’s credit ratings.  As a result of these practices and agreements and the FHLBNY’s assessment of any change in its own credit spread, the Bank has concluded that the impact of the credit differential between the Bank and its derivative counterparties was sufficiently mitigated to an immaterial level that no credit adjustments were deemed necessary to the recorded fair value of Derivative assets and Derivative liabilities in the Statements of Condition at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Control processes — The FHLBNY employs control processes to validate the fair value of its financial instruments, including those derived from valuation models.  These control processes are designed to ensure that the values used for financial reporting are based on observable inputs wherever possible.  In the event that observable inputs are not available, the control processes are designed to ensure that the valuation approach utilized is appropriate and consistently applied and that the assumptions are reasonable.  These control processes include reviews of the pricing model’s theoretical soundness and appropriateness by specialists with relevant expertise who are independent from the trading desks or personnel who were involved in the design and selection of model inputs.  Additionally, groups that are independent from the trading desk, or personnel involved in the design and selection of model inputs participate in the review and validation of the fair values generated from the valuation model.  The FHLBNY maintains an ongoing review of its valuation models and has a formal model validation policy in addition to procedures for the approval and control of data inputs.  As discussed in Note 16. Derivatives and Hedging Activities, the FHLBNY identified an error in the valuation of put and call options in certain cancellable swaps.  The FHLBNY has traced the error to a flaw in the design of a template that was created in 2012 to make swap data input to be more efficient, in preparation of the roll-out of cleared derivatives under the Dodd-Frank Act.  The FHLBNY has concluded that the valuation model is performing to industry standards and its valuation capabilities remain robust and dependable.  The FHLBNY assessed the materiality of the errors and has concluded that the errors were not material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Deposits — The FHLBNY determines estimated fair values of deposits by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows from the deposits.  The discount rates used in these calculations are the current cost of deposits with similar terms.

Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock — The fair value of capital stock subject to mandatory redemption is generally equal to its par value as indicated by contemporaneous member purchases and sales at par value.  Fair value also includes an estimated dividend earned at the time of reclassification from equity to liabilities, until such amount is paid, and any subsequently declared dividend.  FHLBank stock can only be acquired and redeemed at par value.  FHLBank stock is not traded and no market mechanism exists for the exchange of stock outside the FHLBank System’s cooperative structure.

Accrued Interest Payable and Other Liabilities — The estimated fair values approximate the recorded book value because of the relatively short period of time between their origination and expected realization.

Fair Value Measurement

The tables below present the fair value of those assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, by level within the fair value hierarchy.  The

FHLBNY measures certain held-to-maturity securities and mortgage loans at fair value on a non-recurring basis due to the recognition of a credit loss.  Real estate owned is measured at fair value when the asset’s fair value less costs to sell is lower than its carrying amount.

Fair values of Held-to-Maturity Securities on a Nonrecurring Basis — Certain held-to-maturity investment securities were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments when there is evidence of other-than-temporary impairment.  In accordance with the guidance on recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairment, held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities that were determined to be credit impaired at December 31, 2012 (none at September 30, 2013), were recorded at their fair values in the Statements of Condition at that date.  For more information, see Note 5. Held-to-Maturity Securities.

	December 31, 2012
	Fair Value (a)		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3 (b)
Held-to-maturity securities
RMBS-Prime	$	7,045	$	—	$	—	$	7,045
Total non-recurring assets at fair value	$	7,045	$	—	$	—	$	7,045

(a)	Fair values were developed by pricing vendors and reviewed by the FHLBNY.
(b)	Level 3 Instruments — The fair values of private-label MBS determined OTTI at December 31, 2012 (and all private-label MBS) were based on pricing services. In management’s view, valuations may have required pricing services to use significant inputs that were subjective because of the current lack of significant market activity so that the inputs may not be market based and observable.

Fair Value Option Disclosures

The fair value option (“FVO”) provides an irrevocable option to elect fair value as an alternative measurement for selected financial assets, financial liabilities, unrecognized firm commitments, and written loan commitments not previously carried at fair value.  It requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the entity has chosen to use fair value on the face of the statement of condition.  Fair value is used for both the initial and subsequent measurement of the designated assets, liabilities and commitments, with the changes in fair value recognized in net income.  Interest income and interest expense on advances and consolidated obligations at fair value are recognized solely on the contractual amount of interest due or unpaid.  Any transaction fees or costs are immediately recognized into non-interest income or non-interest expense.

The FHLBNY has elected the FVO for certain advances and certain consolidated obligations that either do not qualify for hedge accounting or may be at risk for not meeting hedge effectiveness requirements, primarily in an effort to mitigate the potential income statement volatility that can arise from economic hedging relationships in which the carrying value of the hedged item is not adjusted for changes in fair value.  Additionally, advances will be considered by the FHLBNY for FVO if analysis indicates that changes in the fair values of the advance would be an offset to fair value volatility of debt elected under the FVO.

For instruments for which the fair value option has been elected, the related contractual interest income, contractual interest expense and the discount amortization on fair value option discount notes are recorded as part of net interest income in the Statements of Income.  The remaining changes in fair value for instruments for which the fair value option has been elected are recorded as net gains (losses) on financial instruments held under fair value option in the Statements of Income.  The change in fair value does not include changes in instrument-specific credit risk.  The FHLBNY has determined that no adjustments to the fair values of its instruments recorded under the fair value option for instrument-specific credit risk were necessary during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

(a) Contractual obligations related to interest payments on long-term debt are calculated by applying the weighted average interest rate on the FHLBNY’s outstanding long-term debt as of September 30, 2013 to the contractual payment obligations on long-term debt for each of the periods disclosed in the table.  At September 30, 2013, the FHLBNY’s overall weighted average contractual interest rate for long-term debt was 0.88%.  Callable bonds contain an exercise date or a series of exercise dates that may result in a shorter redemption period. Mandatorily redeemable capital stock is categorized by the dates at which the corresponding member obligations mature. Excess capital stock is redeemed at that time, and hence, these dates better represent the related commitments than the put dates associated with capital stock, under which stock may not be redeemed until the later of five years from the date the member becomes a nonmember or the related advance matures.

(b) Includes accounts payable and accrued expenses, Pass-through reserves at the FRB on behalf of certain members of the FHLBNY recorded in Other liabilities on the Statements of Condition.  Also includes projected payment obligations for the Postretirement Health Benefit Plan and Benefit Equalization Plan.  For more information about these employee retirement plans, see Note 15.  Employee Retirement Plans.

Assessments

Assessments

Affordable Housing Program (“AHP”) Assessments. — Each FHLBank, including the FHLBNY, 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 12 FHLBanks must set aside the greater of $100 million or 10 percent of their regulatory defined net income for the Affordable Housing Program.  For more information about the AHP, see the FHLBNY’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2013.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

The FHLBNY has identified certain accounting policies that it believes are significant 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 by using different assumptions.  These policies include estimating the allowance for credit losses on the advance and mortgage loan portfolios, evaluating the impairment of the Bank’s securities portfolios, and estimating fair values of certain assets and liabilities.  There have been no significant changes to accounting policies from those identified in Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates in Notes to the Financial Statements in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2013, which contains a summary of the Bank’s significant accounting policies and estimates.

Recently Adopted Significant Accounting Policies

Recently Adopted Significant Accounting Policies

Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. — In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.  The ASU requires new footnote disclosures of items reclassified from accumulated OCI to net income.  The requirements became effective in the first quarter of 2013.  For the FHLBNY, the expanded disclosures include reclassifications from AOCI for previously recorded non-credit losses due to OTTI, realized gains and losses due to cash flow hedges, gains and losses due to changes in assumptions of supplemental pension and postretirement benefit plans, and reclassifications of gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.  The application of this guidance resulted in expanded disclosures and had no impact on the FHLBNY’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.  See Note 13.  Total Comprehensive Income.

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. — In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210):  Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.  The standard requires enhanced disclosures about certain financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset in the balance sheet (presented on a net basis) or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar arrangement.  In January 2013, the FASB clarified that the scope of this guidance is limited to derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions.

The new disclosures requirements should enhance comparability between those companies that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).  On adoption, this guidance will require the FHLBNY to disclose both gross and net information about certain financial instruments and derivative instruments, which are either offset on the statement of condition or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement.  This guidance became effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2013 and was applied retrospectively for all comparative periods presented.  The application of this guidance resulted in additional disclosures and had no impact on the FHLBNY’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.  See Note 16.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Summary of retirement plan expenses

Schedule of employee retirement plan expenses

The following table presents employee retirement plan expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the same periods in 2012 (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Defined Benefit Plan (a)	$	189	$	175	$	567	$	1,485

Defined Contribution Plan	387		379		1,176		1,144

Total retirement plan expenses	$	1,948	$	1,834	$	5,861	$	6,473

(a) In July 2012, Congress enacted a bill under the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2012 — Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (“MAP-21”), which includes pension plan provisions intended to ease the negative effect of historically low interest rates. Previously, a plan sponsor could elect to calculate future pension obligations based on either the “yield curve” of corporate investment-grade bonds for the preceding month, or three “segment rates” that are drawn from the average yield curves over the most recent 24-month period. The primary change under the relief bill is to allow calculation of discount rates based over a 25 year period — a much longer period than the two-year period previously used to determine segment rates. The FHLBNY’s Defined Benefit Plan participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan pension, which has adopted the relief provisions noted above, and adoption resulted in a significant reduction in plan expenses.  The FHLBNY paid in $0.7 million for the plan period July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013. The amount recorded represents the minimum amount payable under the relief provided by MAP-21.  For the plan year ended June 30, 2014, the pension expense was accrued at an annual rate of $0.7 million.  The Pentegra DB Plan operates with a fiscal year that ends on June 30, and pension plan expenses paid are prorated and recorded over the FHLBNY’s calendar year.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Note 16. Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

General — The FHLBNY may enter into interest-rate swaps, swaptions, and interest-rate cap and floor agreements to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates.  The FHLBNY may also use callable swaps to potentially adjust the effective maturity, repricing frequency, or option characteristics of financial instruments to achieve risk management objectives.  The FHLBNY, consistent with the Finance Agency’s regulations, enters into derivatives to manage the market risk exposures inherent in otherwise unhedged assets and funding positions.  The FHLBNY is not a derivatives dealer and does not trade derivatives for short-term profit.  The FHLBNY uses derivatives in three ways:  by designating them as a fair value or cash flow hedge of an underlying financial instrument or a forecasted transaction that qualifies for hedge accounting treatment; by acting as an intermediary; or by designating the derivative as an asset-liability management hedge (i.e., an “economic hedge”).  The FHLBNY may execute an interest rate swap to match the terms of an asset or liability that is elected under the FVO, and the swap is also considered as an economic hedge that is designed to mitigate the volatility of the FVO designated asset or liability due to change in the full fair value of the designated asset or liability.  The FHLBNY uses derivatives in its overall interest-rate risk management to adjust the interest-rate sensitivity of consolidated obligations to approximate more closely the interest-rate sensitivity of assets (both advances and investments), and/or to adjust the interest-rate sensitivity of advances, investments or mortgage loans to approximate more closely the interest-rate sensitivity of liabilities.  In addition to using derivatives to manage mismatches of interest rates between assets and liabilities, the FHLBNY also uses derivatives - to manage embedded options in assets and liabilities; to hedge the market value of existing assets and liabilities and anticipated transactions; to hedge the duration risk of prepayable instruments; and to reduce funding costs where possible.

When the FHLBNY designates a derivative as an economic hedge, the choice represents the most cost effective manner of hedging a risk, and is after considering the operational costs and benefits of executing a hedge that would qualify for hedge accounting.  When entering into such non-qualified hedges, the FHLBNY recognizes only the change in fair value of these derivatives in Other income (loss) as a Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities with no offsetting fair value adjustments for the hedged asset, liability, or firm commitment.  As a result, an economic hedge introduces the potential for earnings variability.  Economic hedges are an acceptable hedging strategy under the FHLBNY’s risk management program, and the strategies comply with the Finance Agency’s regulatory requirements prohibiting speculative use of derivatives.

Consolidated Obligations — The FHLBNY manages the risk arising from changing market prices and volatility of a consolidated obligation by matching the cash inflows on the derivative with the cash outflow on the consolidated obligation.  While consolidated obligations are the joint and several obligations of the FHLBanks, one or more FHLBanks may individually serve as counterparties to derivative agreements associated with specific debt issues.  For instance, in a typical transaction, fixed-rate consolidated obligations are issued for one or more FHLBanks, and each of those FHLBanks could simultaneously enter into a matching derivative in which the counterparty pays to the FHLBank fixed cash flows designed to mirror in timing and amount the cash outflows the FHLBank pays on the consolidated obligations.  When such transactions qualify for hedge accounting, they are treated as fair value hedges under the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging.  The FHLBNY has also elected the FVO for certain consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes.  To mitigate the volatility resulting from changes in fair values of bonds and notes designated under the FVO, the Bank may execute interest rate swaps as economic hedges.

When the FHLBNY issues variable-rate consolidated obligations bonds indexed to 1-month LIBOR, the U.S. Prime rate, or Federal funds rate, it will simultaneously execute interest-rate swaps (“basis swaps”) to hedge the basis risk of the variable rate debt to 3-month LIBOR, the FHLBNY’s preferred funding base.  The basis swaps are designated as economic hedges of the floating-rate bonds because the FHLBNY deems that the operational cost of designating the hedges under accounting standards for derivatives and hedge accounting would outweigh the accounting benefits.

Advances — The Bank offers a wide array of advances structures to meet members’ funding needs.  These advances may have maturities up to 30 years with fixed or adjustable rates and may include early termination features or options.  The Bank may use derivatives to adjust the repricing and/or options characteristics of advances to more closely match the characteristics of the Bank’s funding liabilities.  In general, whenever a member executes a longer-term fixed rate advance, or a fixed or variable-rate advance with call or put or other embedded options, the Bank will simultaneously execute a derivative transaction with terms that offset the terms of the fixed rate advance, or terms of the advance with embedded options.  The combination of the fixed rate advance and the derivative transaction effectively creates a variable rate asset.  This type of hedge is treated as a fair value hedge.  With a putable advance borrowed by a member, the FHLBNY would purchase from the member a put option.  The FHLBNY may hedge a putable advance by entering into a cancelable interest rate swap in which the FHLBNY pays to the swap counterparty fixed-rate cash flows and receives variable-rate cash flows.  This type of hedge is also treated as a fair value hedge.  The swap counterparty can cancel the swap on the put date, which would normally occur in a rising rate environment, and the FHLBNY can terminate the advance and extend additional credit to the member on new terms.  The FHLBNY also offers callable advances to members, which is a fixed-rate advance borrowed by a member.  With the advance, the FHLBNY sells to the member a call option that enables the member to terminate the advance at pre-determined exercise dates.  The FHLBNY hedges such advances by executing interest rate swaps with cancellable option features that would allow the FHLBNY to terminate the swaps also at pre-determined option exercise dates.  The FHLBNY offers variable rate advances with an option that caps the interest rate payable by the borrower.  The FHLBNY would typically offset the risk presented by the embedded cap by executing a matching cap.

In the 2013 third quarter, the FHLBNY introduced the Fixed-rate advance with a LIBOR cap.  The coupon of the fixed-rate advance would float inversely with the increase in the 3-month LIBOR rate, at a multiple of 1 (not levered).  The coupon has a floor of zero.  The FHLBNY hedges the advance with an interest rate swap with identical terms, converting fixed-rate cash flows to a LIBOR indexed cash flows through the term to maturity.  The FHLBNY has reviewed and analyzed the terms of the cap and floor and the inverse payout, and has concluded that the advance does not meet the bifurcation tests under hedge accounting standards, specifically ASC 815-15 and ASC 815-10-25.  Accordingly, it was not necessary to bifurcate and account for the options separately.

An embedded derivative shall be separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative instrument pursuant to Subtopic 815-10 if and only if all of the following criteria are met:

· The economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract.

· The hybrid instrument is not remeasured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur.

· A separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would, pursuant to Section 815-10-15, be a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of this Subtopic. The initial net investment for the hybrid instrument shall not be considered to be the initial net investment for the embedded derivative.

Mortgage Loans — The Bank’s investment portfolio includes fixed rate mortgage loans.  The FHLBNY manages the interest rate and prepayment risk associated with mortgages through debt issuance.  Firm commitments to purchase or “delivery commitments” are considered derivatives.  Also see “Firm Commitment Strategies” described below.

Firm Commitment Strategies — Mortgage delivery commitments are considered derivatives under the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging.  The FHLBNY accounts for them as freestanding derivatives, and records the fair values of mortgage loan delivery commitments on the balance sheet with an offset to Other income as a Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities.  Fair values were not significant for all periods in this report.  The FHLBNY may also hedge a firm commitment for a forward starting advance with an interest-rate swap.  In this case, the swap will function as the hedging instrument for both the firm commitment and the subsequent advance.  The fair value adjustments associated with the firm commitment will be added to the basis of the advance at the time the commitment is terminated and the advance is issued.  If a hedged firm commitment no longer qualified as a fair value hedge, the hedge would be terminated and net gains and losses would be recognized in current period earnings.  There were no material amounts of gains and losses recognized due to disqualification of firm commitment hedges in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Forward Settlements — There were no forward settled securities at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 that would settle outside the shortest period of time for the settlement of such securities.  When the FHLBNY purchases a security that forward settles within the shortest period of time for the settlement of such a security, the Bank records the purchase on trade date.  When a security forward settles outside the shortest period of time, a derivative is recorded in addition to the purchased security.

Cash Flow Hedges of Anticipated Consolidated Bond Issuance — The FHLBNY enters into interest-rate swaps on the anticipated issuance of debt to “lock in” the interest to be paid for the cost of funding.  The swap is terminated upon issuance of the debt instrument, and amounts recorded in AOCI are reclassified to earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the variability of the cash flows of the debt that was issued.

Cash Flow Hedges of Rolling Issuance of Discount Notes — The FHLBNY hedges the rolling issuance of discount notes as a cash flow hedge.  In these hedges, the Bank enters into derivative transactions with unrelated swap dealers and designates the swaps as hedges of the variable quarterly interest payments on the discount note borrowing program.  In this program, the Bank issues a series of discount notes with 91-day terms over periods, that are generally up to 15 years.  The FHLBNY will continue issuing new 91-day discount notes over the terms of the swaps as each outstanding discount note matures.  The interest rate swaps require a settlement every 91 days, and the variable rate, which is based on the 3-month LIBOR, is reset immediately following each payment.  The swaps are expected to eliminate the risk of variability of cash flows for each forecasted discount note issuance every 91 days.  The FHLBNY documents at hedge origination, and on an ongoing basis, that the forecasted issuances of discount notes are probable.  The FHLBNY performs a prospective hedge effectiveness analysis at inception of the hedges, and also performs an ongoing retrospective hedge effectiveness analysis at least every quarter to provide assurance that the hedges will remain highly effective.  The fair values of the interest rate swaps are recorded in AOCI and ineffectiveness, if any, is measured using the “hypothetical derivative method” and recorded in earnings.  The effective portion remains in AOCI.  The Bank monitors the credit standing of the derivative counterparty each quarter.

Intermediation — To meet the hedging needs of its members, the FHLBNY acts as an intermediary between the members and the other counterparties.  This intermediation allows smaller members access to the derivatives market.  The derivatives used in intermediary activities do not qualify for hedge accounting, and are separately marked-to-market through earnings.  The net impact of the accounting for these derivatives does not significantly affect the operating results of the FHLBNY.  The notional principal of interest rate swaps outstanding at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, in which the FHLBNY was an intermediary, was $205.0 million and $265.0 million, with offsetting purchased positions from unrelated swap dealers.  Fair values of the swaps sold to members net of the fair values of swaps purchased from derivative counterparties were not material at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  Collateral with respect to derivatives with member institutions includes collateral assigned to the FHLBNY as evidenced by a written security agreement and held by the member institution for the benefit of the FHLBNY.

Economic Hedges

Economic hedges comprised primarily of:  (1) short- and medium-term interest rate swaps that hedged the basis risk (primarily the Federal funds rate, and the 1-month LIBOR index) of variable-rate bonds issued by the FHLBNY.  The FHLBNY believes the operational cost of designating the basis hedges in a qualifying hedge would outweigh the benefits of applying hedge accounting.  (2) interest rate caps to hedge balance sheet risk, specifically interest rate risk from certain capped floating rate investment securities.  (3) interest rate swaps that had previously qualified as hedges under the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging, but had been subsequently de-designated from hedge accounting as they were assessed as being not highly effective hedges.  (4) interest rate swaps executed to offset the fair value changes of bonds and discount notes designated under the FVO.  These swaps in economic hedges were considered freestanding and changes in the fair values of the swaps were recorded through income.

Credit Risk due to nonperformance by counterparties

The contractual or notional amount of derivatives reflects the involvement of the FHLBNY in the various classes of financial instruments, and serves as a basis for calculating periodic interest payments or cash flow.  Notional amount of a derivative does not measure the credit risk exposure, and the maximum credit exposure is substantially less than the notional amount.  The maximum credit risk is the estimated cost of replacing interest-rate swaps, forward agreements, mandatory delivery contracts for mortgage loans and purchased caps and floors (“derivatives”) in a gain position if the counterparty defaults and the related collateral, if any, is of insufficient value to the FHLBNY.

Derivatives are instruments that derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates and other inputs, or a combination of these factors.  The FHLBNY executes derivatives with swap dealers and financial institution swap counterparties as negotiated contracts, which are usually referred to as over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives.  For the FHLBNY, OTC derivative contracts are primarily bilateral contracts between the FHLBNY and the swap counterparties that are executed and settled bilaterally with counterparties without the use of a derivative clearing house (“DCO”).  Beginning on June 10, 2013, certain of the FHLBNY’s OTC derivatives are executed bilaterally with executing swap counterparties, and cleared and settled through one or more DCO as mandated under the Dodd-Frank Act.  When transacting a derivative for clearing, the FHLBNY utilizes a designated clearing agent that acts on behalf of the FHLBNY to clear and settle the interest rate exchange contract through the DCO.  Once the contract is accepted for clearing by the clearing agent, which acts in the capacity of an intermediary between the FHLBNY and the DCO, the original contract between the FHLBNY and the executing counterparty is extinguished, and is replaced by an identical contract between the FHLBNY and the DCO.  The DCO becomes the counterparty to the FHLBNY.  However, the clearing agent interacts with the DCO on behalf of the FHLBNY.

Bilateral OTC derivative contracts — For derivatives that are not eligible for clearing with a DCO, the FHLBNY is subject to credit risk as a result of nonperformance by swap counterparties to the derivative agreements.  The FHLBNY enters into master netting arrangements and bilateral security agreements with all active derivative counterparties, which provide for delivery of collateral at specified levels to limit the net unsecured credit exposure to these counterparties.  The FHLBNY makes judgments on each counterparty’s creditworthiness and estimates of collateral values in analyzing counterparty nonperformance credit risk.  Bilateral agreements consider the credit risks and the agreement specifies thresholds to post or receive collateral with changes in credit ratings.  When the FHLBNY has more than one derivative transaction outstanding with a counterparty, and a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists with the counterparty, the exposure (less collateral held) represents the appropriate measure of credit risk.  The FHLBNY conducts all its derivative transactions under ISDA master netting agreements.

OTC cleared contracts — Beginning on June 10, 2013, the FHLBNY became subject to mandatory clearing rules under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (“CFTC”) clearing rules as provided under the Dodd-Frank Act.  The FHLBNY’s cleared derivatives are also initially executed bilaterally with a swap dealer, the executing swap counterparty, in the OTC market, and the clearing process requires the FHLBNY to novate the contracts to a DCO, which then becomes the counterparty to the FHLBNY.

The enforceability of offsetting rights incorporated in the agreements for the cleared derivative transactions has been analyzed by the FHLBNY to establish the extent to which supportive legal opinion, obtained from counsel of recognized standing, provides the requisite level of certainty regarding the enforceability of these agreements.  Further analysis was performed to reach a view that the exercise of rights by the non-defaulting party under these agreements would not be stayed, or avoided under applicable law upon an event of default including bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding involving the DCO or the FHLBNY’s clearing agents or both.  Based on the analysis of the rules, and legal analysis obtained, the FHLBNY has made a determination that it has the right of setoff that is enforceable under applicable law that would allow it to: (1) net individual derivative contracts executed through a specific clearing agent (also referred to as a Futures Clearing Merchant, or “FCM”) to a designated DCO, so that a net derivative receivable or payable will be recorded for the DCO; the exposure (less margin held) would be represented by a single amount receivable from the DCO, and that amount would represent the appropriate measure of credit risk.  This policy election for netting cleared derivatives is consistent with the policy election for netting bilaterally settled derivative transactions under master netting agreements; and (2) net all derivative contracts novated to the DCO with cash margins posted by the FHLBNY or received against the derivative contracts through a specified FCM or clearing agent.  Typically, margins consist of Initial Margin (“initial margin”) and Variation Margin (“variation margin”).  Variation margin fluctuates with the fair values of the open contracts. Initial margin fluctuates with the value of the open contracts and changes in market interest volatility, and amounts paid by the FHLBNY are in addition to the fair values of the open derivative contracts. The FHLBNY treats excess margins posted on cleared and uncleared trades as Derivative Assets.

Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities — Net Presentation

The following table presents the gross and net derivatives receivables by contract type and amount for those derivatives contracts for which netting is permissible under U.S. GAAP (“Derivative instruments — Nettable”).  Derivatives receivables have been netted with respect to those receivables as to which the netting requirements have been met, including obtaining a legal analysis with respect to the enforceability of the netting.  Where such a legal analysis has not been either sought or obtained, the receivables were not netted, and were reported as Derivative instruments - Not Nettable (in thousands):

(a) Derivative instruments without legal right of offset were synthetic derivatives representing forward mortgage delivery commitments of 45 days or less.  It was operationally not practical to separate receivable from payables, and net presentation was adopted.  No collateral was netted against the receivable or payable.

(b) Unsecured amounts represent Derivative assets and liabilities recorded in the Statements of Condition at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The amounts primarily represent aggregate credit support thresholds that were waived under credit support agreements between the FHLBNY and derivative counterparties.

The gross derivative exposures as represented by derivatives in fair values in gain positions before netting and offsetting cash collateral were $673.3 million and $966.5 million due at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  Fair values amounts that were netted as a result of master netting agreements, or as a result of a determination that netting requirements had been met (including obtaining a legal analysis supporting the enforceability of the netting for cleared OTC derivatives), totaled $629.9 million and $924.6 million at those dates.  These adjustments included $1.6 million and $7.7 million in cash posted by counterparties to mitigate the FHLBNY’s exposures at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The net exposures after offsetting adjustments were $43.5 million and $41.9 million at those dates.

Derivative counterparties are also exposed to credit losses resulting from potential nonperformance risk of the FHLBNY with respect to derivative contracts, and their exposure due to a default by the FHLBNY is measured by derivatives in a fair value loss position from the FHLBNY’s perspective (and a gain position from the counterparty’s perspective).  At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, derivatives in a net unrealized loss positions, which represented the counterparties’ exposure to the potential non-performance risk of the FHLBNY, were $388.3 million and $426.8 million after deducting $1.7 billion and $2.5 billion of cash collateral posted by the FHLBNY at those dates to the exposed counterparties.  With respect to cleared derivatives, the DCO is also exposed to the failure of the FHLBNY to deliver cash margin, which is typically paid one day following the execution of a cleared derivative, and those amounts were not significant.  The exposure of the DCO to FHLBNY is included with the exposure totals provided above.

The FHLBNY is also exposed to the risk of derivative counterparties failing to return cash collateral deposited with counterparties due to counterparty bankruptcy or other similar scenarios.  If such an event were to occur, the FHLBNY would be forced to replace derivatives by executing similar derivative contracts with other counterparties.  To the extent that the FHLBNY receives cash from the replacement trades that is less than the amount of cash deposited with the defaulting counterparty, the FHLBNY’s cash pledged as a deposit is exposed to credit risk of the defaulting counterparty.  Derivative counterparties, including DCOs, holding the FHLBNY’s cash as posted collateral, were analyzed from credit performance perspective, and based on credit analyses and collateral requirements, the management of the FHLBNY does not anticipate any credit losses on its derivative agreements.

(b) Other:  Comprised of swaps intermediated for members.  Notional amounts represent purchases from dealers and sales to members.

Earnings Impact of Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The FHLBNY carries all derivative instruments on the Statements of Condition at fair value as Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities.  In the case of fair value hedges, if derivatives meet the hedging criteria under hedge accounting rules, and meeting the effectiveness measures, changes in fair value of the associated hedged financial instrument attributable to the risk being hedged may also be recorded through earnings.  In the hedge, some or all of the unrealized fair value gains or losses recognized on the derivatives are offset by corresponding unrealized gains or losses on the associated hedged financial assets and liabilities.  The net differential between fair value changes of the derivatives and the hedged items represents hedge ineffectiveness.  Hedge ineffectiveness represents the amounts by which the changes in the fair value of the derivatives differ from the changes in the fair values of the hedged items or the variability in the cash flows of forecasted transactions.  The net ineffectiveness from hedges that qualify under hedge accounting rules are recorded as a Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities in Other income (loss) in the Statements of Income.  If derivatives do not qualify for the hedging criteria under hedge accounting rules, but are executed as economic hedges of financial assets or liabilities under a FHLBNY - approved hedge strategy, only the fair value changes of the derivatives are recorded as a Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities in Other income (loss) in the Statements of Income.

When the FHLBNY elects to measure certain debt under the accounting designation for FVO, the Bank will typically execute a derivative as an economic hedge of the debt.  Fair value changes of the derivatives are recorded as a Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities in Other income (loss).  Fair value changes of the debt designated under the FVO are recorded in as an unrealized (loss) or gain from Instruments held at fair value, also in Other income (loss).

(a)	As discussed in Note 1. reported amortization expenses of fair value basis of hedged advance that were modified have been reclassified in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 to conform to the classification adopted commencing in the fourth quarter of 2012. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2012, the amortization were reclassified as charges to Interest income from advances. The preferred reporting policy is to not reclassify the amortization to Interest income, rather to record the amortization as a Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities.
(b)	Represents interest expense and income associated with swaps that did not qualify under hedge accounting rules and were included with derivatives gains and losses.
(c)	Out-of-period adjustments — Fair value net hedging losses of $12.1 million in the 3rd quarter 2013 were after recording a cumulative out-of-period negative adjustment of $17.2 million to correct overstated hedging gains in prior periods in 2013 and 2012. Fair value hedging gain of $2.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 includes an out-of-period negative adjustment of $5.0 million from 2012. A flaw in the design of a swap transaction input template introduced in late 2011 mapped a specific non-standard transaction term incorrectly to the Bank’s valuation system, causing erroneous valuation of call and put options in an interest rate swap with options. Net gains related to fair value hedges were over stated as follows - $0.3 million for the 3rd quarter of 2012; $4.7 million for the 4th quarter of 2012; $4.1 million for the 1st quarter of 2013, and $8.1 million for the 2nd quarter of 2013.

(a) Hedges of anticipated issuance of debt - The maximum period of time that the Bank typically hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions in this program is between three and nine months.  At September 30, 2013 the Bank had open contracts of $31.5 millions of swaps to hedge the anticipated issuances of debt.  The fair values of the open contracts recorded in AOCI was an unrealized loss of $0.9 million at September 30, 2013.  There were no open contracts at December 31, 2012.  The amounts in AOCI from closed cash flow hedges representing net unrecognized losses were $9.1 million and $12.3 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  At September 30, 2013, it is expected that over the next 12 months, $2.9 million of the unrecognized losses in AOCI will be recognized as a yield adjustment (expenses) to consolidated bond interest expense.

(b) Hedges of discount notes in rolling issuances — At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion of notional amounts of the interest rate swaps were outstanding under this program.  Net unrealized fair values losses of $49.9 million and $124.8 million were recorded in AOCI at those dates.  The cash flow hedges mitigated exposure to the variability in future cash flows for a maximum period of 15 years.  Rising long-term swap rates at September 30, 2013, relative to December 31, 2012, caused fair value losses to decline.  The FHLBNY’s cash payments are fixed, and in return it receives LIBOR-indexed floating rate cash flows; in a rising rate environment, the amount of forecasted cash flows that it would potentially receive grow larger effectively reducing unrealized losses.

(c) Effective portion was recorded in AOCI.  Ineffectiveness was immaterial and was recorded within Net income.

(d) Represents unrecognized loss from cash flow hedges recorded in AOCI.

There were no material amounts 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

Note   2. Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

Joint and Several Liability Arrangements.  In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405):  Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date.  This guidance requires an entity to measure these obligations as the sum of (1) the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and (2) any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors.  In addition, this guidance requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations.  This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and should be applied retrospectively for obligations with joint and several liabilities existing at the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year of adoption.

The FHLBanks issue Consolidated Obligation debt for which each FHLBank, including the FHLBNY, is jointly and severally liable.  If a FHLBank defaulted on its payment, the non-defaulting FHLBanks may be required to make a payment on behalf of the defaulting FHLBank.  The amount of the payment would be based on the allocation determined by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) under its regulatory authority.  When a Consolidated obligation debt is issued, a FHLBank records a liability for its direct obligation.  No FHLBank receives a fee for assuming its joint and several liability.  Historically, the FHLBanks have accounted for its joint and several liability using the accounting guidance for a related-party guarantee, and each FHLBank discloses its obligation of Consolidated obligations (other than Consolidated obligation Discount Notes with a maturity of one year or less) for which it is the primary obligor in a Form 8-K filing.  In each periodic filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the FHLBanks also disclose their joint and several obligations.  The FHLBanks record their liability for debt issuances for which it is the direct obligor, and no amounts are recorded for the joint and several obligations.

Upon adoption of ASU No. 2013-04 on January 1, 2014, the FHLBanks will continue to recognize the Consolidated obligations for which it is the direct obligor as a liability, and will recognize $0 as the amount it expects to pay on behalf of the other FHLBanks, unless a default occurs and the FHFA mandates an allocation of a shortfall.  Adoption of ASU No. 2013-04 will have no impact on the FHLBNY’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

See Note 10. Consolidated Obligations, and Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies for disclosures specific to the FHLBNY’s joint and several obligations.

Framework For Adversely Classifying Loans, Other Real Estate Owned, and Other Assets and Listing Assets for Special Mention.  On April 9, 2012, the FHFA, the FHLBank’s regulator, issued Advisory Bulletin 2012-02 (“Advisory Bulletin”) that establishes adverse classification, identification of Special Mention assets and off-balance sheet credit exposures.  The guidance is expected to be applied prospectively, and was effective at issuance.  However, the FHFA issued additional guidance that extends the effective date of the classification guidelines in the Advisory Bulletin to January 1, 2014.

The guidance also prescribes the timing of asset charge-offs if an asset is at 180 days or more past due, subject to certain conditions.  The FHFA has extended the effective date of the charge-off guidelines to January 1, 2015.

The FHLBNY is continuing to review the guidance, and its preliminary conclusion is that adoption of the Advisory Bulletin would change the FHLBNY’s existing charge-off policy, but would not impact the Bank’s credit classification practices or the credit loss measurement methodologies in any significant manner.  Under existing policies, the FHLBNY records a charge-off on MPF loans based upon the occurrence of a confirming event, which is typically the occurrence of an in-substance foreclosure (which occurs when the PFI takes physical possession of real estate without having to go through formal foreclosure procedures) or actual foreclosure.  Adoption of the Advisory Bulletin may accelerate the timing of charge-offs, and the FHLBNY is reviewing the operational aspects of implementing the guidance.  The FHLBNY’s current practice is to record credit loss allowance on a loan level basis on all MPF loans delinquent 90 days or more (for loans in bankruptcy status, an allowance is recorded regardless of delinquency status), and to measure the allowance based on the shortfall of the value of collateral (less estimated selling costs) to the recorded investment in the impaired loan.  Therefore, the FHLBNY does not expect an acceleration of the charge-offs to have a material impact on the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Background, Tax Status, Assessments and Basis of Presentation

Background

The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY” or “the Bank”) is a federally chartered corporation, and 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 FHLBNY’s defined geographic district is New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Tax Status

The FHLBanks, including the FHLBNY, are exempt from ordinary federal, state, and local taxation except for real property taxes.

Assessments

Affordable Housing Program (“AHP”) Assessments. — Each FHLBank, including the FHLBNY, 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 12 FHLBanks must set aside the greater of $100 million or 10 percent of their regulatory defined net income for the Affordable Housing Program.  For more information about the AHP, see the FHLBNY’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2013.

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 reported periods.  Although management believes these judgments, estimates and assumptions to be appropriate, actual results may differ.  The information contained in these financial statements is unaudited.  In the opinion of management, normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period results have been made.  These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the FHLBNY’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2013.

Note 19. Related Party Transactions.

The FHLBNY is a cooperative and the members own almost all of the stock of the Bank.  Stock issued and outstanding 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.  The Bank considers its transactions with its members and non-member stockholders as related party transactions in addition to transactions with other FHLBanks, the Office of Finance, and the Finance Agency.  The FHLBNY conducts all transactions with members and non-members in the ordinary course of business.  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.  The FHLBNY may from time to time borrow or sell overnight and term Federal funds at market rates to members.

Debt Assumptions and Transfers

Debt assumptions — The Bank did not assume debt from another FHLBank in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Debt transfers — In the first quarter of 2013, the Bank transferred $25.0 million to another FHLBank at negotiated market rates that exceeded amortized cost by $3.9 million, which was charged to earnings in that period.  No debt was transferred to another FHLbank in the second and the third quarter of 2013, or in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.  When debt is transferred, the transferring bank notifies the Office of Finance on trade date of the change in primary obligor for the transferred debt.

Advances Sold or Transferred

No advances were transferred/sold to the FHLBNY or from the FHLBNY to another FHLBank in any periods in this report.

MPF Program

In the MPF program, the FHLBNY may participate out certain portions of its purchases of mortgage loans from its members.  Transactions are at market rates.  The FHLBank of Chicago, the MPF provider’s cumulative share of interest in the FHLBNY’s MPF loans at September 30, 2013 was $37.1 million from inception of the program from mid-2004.  At December 31, 2012, the comparable number was $47.5 million.  Since 2004, the FHLBNY has not shared its purchases with the FHLBank of Chicago.  Fees paid to the FHLBank of Chicago were $0.2 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, and $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the same periods in 2012.

Mortgage-backed Securities

No mortgage-backed securities were acquired from other FHLBanks during the periods in this report.

Intermediation

Notional amounts of $205.0 million and $265.0 million of interest rate swaps were outstanding at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and represented derivative contracts in which the FHLBNY acted as an intermediary to sell derivatives to members with an offsetting purchased contracts with unrelated derivatives dealers.  Net fair value exposures of these transactions were not significant.  The intermediated derivative transactions with members were fully collateralized.

Loans to Other Federal Home Loan Banks

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the FHLBNY extended overnight loans for a total of $2.8 billion and $6.9 billion.  In the same periods in 2012, the FHLBNY extended overnight loans for a total of $0.3 billion and $1.0 billion to other FHLBanks.  Generally, loans made to other FHLBanks are uncollateralized.  The impact to Net interest income from such loans was not significant in any period in this report.

Borrowings from Other Federal Home Loan Banks

The FHLBNY borrows from other FHLBanks, generally for a period of one day.  In the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, there was no borrowing from other FHLBanks.  There was no borrowing from other FHLBanks for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the FHLBNY borrowed one overnight loan for a total of $50.0 million from a FHLBank.

(a)	Unrecognized gross holding gains and losses represent the difference between fair value and carrying value of a held-to-maturity security. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the FHLBNY had pledged MBS with an amortized cost basis of $2.0 million and $2.8 million to the FDIC in connection with deposits maintained by the FDIC at the FHLBNY.
(b)	The amounts represent private-label mortgage- and asset-backed securities.
(c)	Amortized cost — Bonds collateralized by manufactured housing are insured by Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. (“AGM”); they totaled $117.3 million and $132.6 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Asset-backed securities (supported by home equity loans) insured by AGM were $66.5 million and $69.8 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Asset-backed securities (supported by home equity loans) insured by Ambac and MBIA, together, were $117.5 million and $134.7 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Based on analysis performed, the FHLBNY has determined that for bond insurer AGM, insurance guarantees can be relied upon to cover any projected shortfalls. The reliance period for MBIA has been extended from 3 months to a 12 month horizon (to September 30, 2014) due to recent legal settlements and an improvement in the company’s liquidity since the second quarter of 2013. For bond insurer Ambac, the reliance period is probable until December 31, 2013.

Unrealized Losses

The fair values and gross unrealized holding losses are aggregated by major security type and by the length of time individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position.  Unrealized losses represent the difference between fair value and amortized cost.  The baseline measure of unrealized loss is amortized cost, which is not adjusted for non-credit OTTI.  Total unrealized losses in this table will not equal unrecognized losses by Major security type disclosed in the previous table.  Unrealized losses are calculated after adjusting for credit OTTI.  In the previous table, unrecognized losses are adjusted for credit and non-credit OTTI.  The following tables summarize held-to-maturity securities with fair values below their amortized cost basis (in thousands):

Investments in housing finance agency obligations had gross unrealized losses totaling $55.4 million and $56.0 million for continuous periods of 12 months or longer at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  Management has analyzed the fair values of the bonds, and has concluded that the gross unrealized losses were due to an illiquid market for such securities, causing these investments to be valued at a discount to their acquisition cost.  Management has also reviewed the portfolio and has observed that the bonds are performing to their contractual terms, and has concluded that, as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, all of the gross unrealized losses on its housing finance agency bonds are temporary because the underlying collateral and credit enhancements were sufficient to protect the Bank from losses based on current expectations.  As a result, the Bank expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.  If conditions in the housing and mortgage markets and general business and economic conditions remain stressed or deteriorate further, the fair value of the bonds may decline further and the Bank may experience OTTI in future periods.

Redemption Terms

Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment features.  The amortized cost and estimated fair value of held-to-maturity securities, arranged by contractual maturity, were as follows (in thousands):

Impairment Analysis (OTTI) of GSE-issued and Private Label Mortgage-backed Securities

The FHLBNY evaluates its individual securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and U.S. government agency by considering the creditworthiness and performance of the debt securities and the strength of the GSE’s guarantees of the securities.  Based on analysis, GSE- and agency-issued securities are performing in accordance with their contractual agreements.  The FHLBNY believes that it will recover its investments in GSE- and agency-issued securities given the current levels of collateral, credit enhancements and guarantees that exist to protect the investments.  Management evaluates its investments in private-label MBS (“PLMBS”) for OTTI on a quarterly basis by analyzing cash flows on 100 percent of PLMBS.  All PLMBS were designated as held-to-maturity.  For more information about cash flow impairment assessment methodology, see Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates in the most recent Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2013.

Monoline insurance — Certain PLMBS owned by the FHLBNY are insured by third-party bond insurers (“monoline insurers”).  The bond insurance on these investments guarantees the timely payments of principal and interest if these payments cannot be satisfied from the cash flows of the underlying mortgage pool.  The FHLBNY performs cash flow credit impairment tests on all of its private-label insured securities, and the analysis of the MBS protected by such third-party insurance looks first to the performance of the underlying security, and considers its embedded credit enhancements in the form of excess spread, overcollateralization, and credit subordination, to determine the collectability of all amounts due.  If the embedded credit enhancement protections are deemed insufficient to make timely payment of all amounts due, then the FHLBNY considers the capacity of the third-party bond insurer to cover any shortfalls.  Certain monoline insurers have been subject to adverse ratings, rating downgrades, and weakening financial performance measures.  In estimating the insurers’ capacity to provide credit protection in the future to cover any shortfall in cash flows expected to be collected for securities deemed to be OTTI, the FHLBNY has developed a methodology to analyze and assess the ability of the monoline insurers to meet future insurance obligations.  Based on analysis performed, the Bank has determined that for bond insurer Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp., insurance guarantees can be relied upon to cover projected shortfalls.  The reliance period for MBIA has been extended from a 3 month to a 12 month horizon (to September 30, 2014) due to recent legal settlements and an improvement in the company’s liquidity since the second quarter of 2013.  For bond insurer Ambac, the reliance period is probable until December 31, 2013.

No credit OTTI was recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The table below presents the key characteristics of securities determined to be OTTI in the three months ended September 30, 2012, and cumulative OTTI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 (in thousands):

(a) Unpaid principal balances and fair values on securities deemed to be OTTI at September 30, 2012.

(b) Represent OTTI recorded at the quarter end date.  If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected (discounted at the security’s initial effective yield) is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, an OTTI is considered to have occurred because the entire amortized cost basis of the security will not be recovered.  The credit-related OTTI is recognized in earnings.  The non-credit portion of OTTI, which represents fair value losses of OTTI securities (excluding the amount of credit losses), is recognized in AOCI. Positive non-credit losses represent the net amount of non-credit losses reclassified from AOCI to increase the carrying value of securities previously deemed OTTI.

(c) HEL Subprime securities are supported by home equity loans.

(d) Securities deemed to be OTTI at the quarter end date(s) had been previously determined to be OTTI, and the additional impairment, or re-impairment, was due to further deterioration in the credit performance metrics of the securities.

The following table provides roll-forward information about the cumulative credit component of OTTI recognized as a charge to earnings (in thousands):

Segment Information and Concentration.

Segment Information and Concentration.

Note 20. Segment Information and Concentration.

The FHLBNY manages its operations as a single business segment.  Management and the FHLBNY’s Board of Directors review enterprise-wide financial information in order to make operating decisions and assess performance.  Advances to large members constitute a significant percentage of FHLBNY’s advance portfolio and its source of revenues.

The FHLBNY’s total assets and capital could significantly decrease if one or more large members were to withdraw from membership or decrease business with the Bank.  Members might withdraw or reduce their business as a result of consolidating with an institution that was a member of another FHLBank, or for other reasons.  The FHLBNY has considered the impact of losing one or more large members.  In general, a withdrawing member would be required to repay all indebtedness prior to the redemption of its capital stock.  Under current conditions, the FHLBNY does not expect the loss of a large member to impair its operations, since the FHLBank Act of 1999 does not allow the FHLBNY to redeem the capital of an existing member if the redemption would cause the FHLBNY to fall below its capital requirements.  Consequently, the loss of a large member should not result in an inadequate capital position for the FHLBNY.  However, such an event could reduce the amount of capital that the FHLBNY has available for continued growth.  This could have various ramifications for the FHLBNY, including a possible reduction in net income and dividends, and a lower return on capital stock for remaining members.

The top ten advance holders at September 30, 2013, December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012 and associated interest income for the periods then ended are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

Pending merger—In the second quarter of 2012, Hudson City Bancorp, Inc. had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with M&T Bank Corporation and Wilmington Trust Corporation (“WTC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of M&T Bank Corporation.   The Merger Agreement provided that FHLBNY member Hudson City Savings Bank (“Hudson City”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hudson City Bancorp, will merge with and into FHLBNY member Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T”), a wholly owned subsidiary of M&T Bank Corporation, with M&T Bank continuing as the surviving bank.   The Merger Agreement was subject to, among other items, shareholder and regulatory approvals.

On April 12, 2013, Hudson City Bancorp, Inc. and M&T Bank Corporation announced that they expect additional time will be required to obtain a regulatory determination on the applications necessary to complete their proposed merger.  M&T and Hudson City intend to extend the date to January 31, 2014, after which either party may elect to terminate the merger agreement, but there can be no assurances that the merger will be completed by that date.  The consideration and exchange ratio as provided in the merger agreement will remain the same.  M&T and Hudson City intend to close the merger as soon as possible following the receipt of all necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals and satisfaction of all other conditions to closing.

The parties had indicated in 2012 their intention to pay off FHLBNY advances upon the closing of the merger transactions.   We do not expect the merger to have a significant adverse impact on our financial position, cash flows or earnings.   When advances are early terminated by Hudson City, we expect to receive prepayment fees that will make us economically whole.   However, prepayments may cause a decline in our book of business if the terminated advances are not replaced by new borrowings by other members.   A lower volume of advances, which is the primary focus of our business, could result in lower net interest income and impact earnings in future periods.

(a) Derivative instruments without legal right of offset were synthetic derivatives representing forward mortgage delivery commitments of 45 days or less.  It was operationally not practical to separate receivable from payables, and net presentation was adopted.  No collateral was netted against the receivable or payable.

(b) Unsecured amounts represent Derivative assets and liabilities recorded in the Statements of Condition at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The amounts primarily represent aggregate credit support thresholds that were waived under credit support agreements between the FHLBNY and derivative counterparties.

(a)	As discussed in Note 1. reported amortization expenses of fair value basis of hedged advance that were modified have been reclassified in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 to conform to the classification adopted commencing in the fourth quarter of 2012. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2012, the amortization were reclassified as charges to Interest income from advances. The preferred reporting policy is to not reclassify the amortization to Interest income, rather to record the amortization as a Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities.
(b)	Represents interest expense and income associated with swaps that did not qualify under hedge accounting rules and were included with derivatives gains and losses.
(c)	Out-of-period adjustments — Fair value net hedging losses of $12.1 million in the 3rd quarter 2013 were after recording a cumulative out-of-period negative adjustment of $17.2 million to correct overstated hedging gains in prior periods in 2013 and 2012. Fair value hedging gain of $2.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 includes an out-of-period negative adjustment of $5.0 million from 2012. A flaw in the design of a swap transaction input template introduced in late 2011 mapped a specific non-standard transaction term incorrectly to the Bank’s valuation system, causing erroneous valuation of call and put options in an interest rate swap with options. Net gains related to fair value hedges were over stated as follows - $0.3 million for the 3rd quarter of 2012; $4.7 million for the 4th quarter of 2012; $4.1 million for the 1st quarter of 2013, and $8.1 million for the 2nd quarter of 2013.

(a) Hedges of anticipated issuance of debt - The maximum period of time that the Bank typically hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions in this program is between three and nine months.  At September 30, 2013 the Bank had open contracts of $31.5 millions of swaps to hedge the anticipated issuances of debt.  The fair values of the open contracts recorded in AOCI was an unrealized loss of $0.9 million at September 30, 2013.  There were no open contracts at December 31, 2012.  The amounts in AOCI from closed cash flow hedges representing net unrecognized losses were $9.1 million and $12.3 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  At September 30, 2013, it is expected that over the next 12 months, $2.9 million of the unrecognized losses in AOCI will be recognized as a yield adjustment (expenses) to consolidated bond interest expense.

(b) Hedges of discount notes in rolling issuances — At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion of notional amounts of the interest rate swaps were outstanding under this program.  Net unrealized fair values losses of $49.9 million and $124.8 million were recorded in AOCI at those dates.  The cash flow hedges mitigated exposure to the variability in future cash flows for a maximum period of 15 years.  Rising long-term swap rates at September 30, 2013, relative to December 31, 2012, caused fair value losses to decline.  The FHLBNY’s cash payments are fixed, and in return it receives LIBOR-indexed floating rate cash flows; in a rising rate environment, the amount of forecasted cash flows that it would potentially receive grow larger effectively reducing unrealized losses.

(c) Effective portion was recorded in AOCI.  Ineffectiveness was immaterial and was recorded within Net income.

(d) Represents unrecognized loss from cash flow hedges recorded in AOCI.

Total insured mortgage loans							$	112,871		$	72,154

(a) Allowance for credit losses has been stable, in line with declining nonperforming loans, which is consistent with the stability in housing prices/liquidation values of real property securing impaired loans.

(b) Loans considered impaired have remained almost unchanged as delinquency rates have stabilized.

(c) FHA- and VA loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.  Loans past due 90 days or more were considered for impairment but credit analysis indicated funds would be collected and no allowance was necessary.

Schedule of non-performing and 90 day past due loans to total mortgage

The FHLBNY’s impaired mortgage loans are reported in the table below (in thousands):

	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012

(a) Includes loans classified as sub-standard, doubtful or loss under FHFA regulatory criteria, reported at carrying value.

(b) Data in this table represents unpaid principal balance, and would not agree to data reported in table below at “recorded investment,” which includes interest receivable.  Loans in bankruptcy status and past due 90 days or more (nonaccrual status) are included.

Schedule of the recorded investment in impaired loans, the unpaid principal balance, related allowance (individually assessed for impairment), and the average recorded investment of impaired loans

The following table summarizes the recorded investment in impaired loans, the unpaid principal balance, and related allowance (individually assessed for impairment), and the average recorded investment of impaired loans (in thousands):

Total Conventional MPF Loans (a)	$	31,596	$	31,641	$	6,982	$	29,566	$	—

(a) Based on analysis of the nature of risks of the Bank’s investments in MPF loans, including its methodologies for identifying and measuring impairment, the management of the FHLBNY has determined that presenting such loans as a single class is appropriate.

(b) Collateral values, net of estimated costs to sell, exceeded the recorded investments in impaired loans and no allowances were deemed necessary.

(c) The Bank does not record interest received as Interest income if an uninsured loan is past due 90 days or more.

Schedule of interest contractually due and actually received for non-performing loans

The FHLBNY’s interest contractually due and actually received for non-performing loans were as follows (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,

Interest actually received	387		379		1,115		1,169
Shortfall	$	38	$	103	$	107	$	275

(a) The Bank does not accrue interest income on conventional loans past due 90 days or more.  If cash is received as settlement of interest on loans past due 90 days or more, it is considered as an advance from the PFI or the servicer and cash received is subject to reversal if the loan goes into foreclosure.  Cash received is recorded as a liability until the impaired loan is performing again.  The table summarizes interest income that was not recognized in earnings.  It also summarizes the actual cash that was received against interest due, but not recognized.

Federal Funds Sold and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell.

Federal Funds Sold and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell.

Note   4. Federal Funds Sold and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell.

Federal funds sold — Federal funds sold were unsecured overnight advances to financial institution counterparties.  At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, amounts outstanding were $4.9 billion and $4.1 billion.  The daily average Federal funds sold in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $14.9 billion and $13.9 billion.  The daily averages in the comparable periods in 2012 were $12.2 billion and $11.6 billion.  In the 12 months ended December 31, 2012, the daily average was $11.4 billion.

Securities purchased under agreements to resell — As part of the FHLBNY’s banking activities, the FHLBNY may enter into secured financing transactions that mature overnight, and can be extended only at the discretion of the FHLBNY.   These transactions involve the lending of cash, against which marketable securities are taken as collateral.   The amount of cash loaned against the securities collateral is a function of the liquidity and quality of the collateral.   The collateral is typically in the form of highly-rated marketable securities, and the FHLBNY has the ability to call for additional collateral if the value of the securities falls below a pre-defined haircut.   The FHLBNY can terminate the transaction and liquidate the collateral if the counterparty fails to post the additional margin.  Under these agreements, the FHLBNY would not have the right to repledge the securities received.   Securities purchased under agreements to resell (reverse repos) generally do not constitute a sale for accounting purposes of the underlying securities and so are treated as collateralized financing transactions.  There were no balances outstanding at September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.   Transaction balances averaged $106.5 million and $35.8 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and $42.1 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2012.

The impact to Net interest income from securities purchased under agreements to resell was not significant in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and was included in Interest income from Federal funds sold in the Statements of Income.

Monitoring and Evaluating Credit Losses on Advances — Summarized below are the FHLBNY’s assessment methodologies for evaluating credit losses on advances.

The FHLBNY closely monitors the creditworthiness of the institutions to which it lends.  The FHLBNY also closely monitors the quality and value of the assets that are pledged as collateral by its members.  The FHLBNY’s members are required to pledge collateral to secure advances.  Eligible collateral includes: (1) one-to-four-family and multi-family mortgages; (2) U.S. Treasury and government-agency securities; (3) mortgage-backed securities; and (4) certain other collateral which is real estate related and has a readily ascertainable value, and in which the FHLBNY can perfect a security interest.  The FHLBNY has the right to take such steps, as it deems necessary to protect its secured position on outstanding advances, including requiring additional collateral (whether or not such additional collateral would otherwise be eligible to secure a loan; this provision would benefit the FHLBNY in a scenario when a member defaults).  The FHLBNY also has a statutory lien under the FHLBank Act on members’ capital stock, which serves as further collateral for members’ indebtedness to the FHLBNY.

Credit Risk.  The Bank has policies and procedures in place to manage credit risk.  There were no past due advances and all advances were current for all periods in this report.  Management does not anticipate any credit losses, and accordingly, the Bank has not provided an allowance for credit losses on advances.  The Bank’s potential credit risk from advances is concentrated in commercial banks, savings institutions, and insurance companies.

Concentration of Advances Outstanding.  Advances to the FHLBNY’s top ten borrowing member institutions are reported in Note 20. Segment Information and Concentration.  The FHLBNY held sufficient collateral to cover the advances to all institutions and it does not expect to incur any credit losses.

Security Terms.  The FHLBNY lends to financial institutions involved in housing finance within its district.  Borrowing members pledge their capital stock of the FHLBNY as additional collateral for advances.  As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the FHLBNY had rights to collateral with an estimated value greater than outstanding advances.  Based upon the financial condition of the member, the FHLBNY:

(1) Allows a member to retain possession of the mortgage collateral pledged to the FHLBNY if the member executes a written security agreement, provides periodic listings and agrees to hold such collateral for the benefit of the FHLBNY; however, securities and cash collateral are always in physical possession; or

(2) Requires the member specifically to assign or place physical possession of such mortgage collateral with the FHLBNY or its custodial agent.

Beyond these provisions, Section 10(e) of the FHLBank Act affords any security interest granted by a member to the FHLBNY priority over the claims or rights of any other party.  The two exceptions are claims that would be entitled to priority under otherwise applicable law or perfected security interests.  All member obligations with the Bank were fully collateralized throughout their entire term.  The total of collateral pledged to the Bank includes excess collateral pledged above the Bank’s minimum collateral requirements.  However, a maximum lendable value is established to ensure that the Bank has sufficient eligible collateral securing credit extensions.  There have been no significant changes to collateral policies from those existing at December 31, 2012.  For more information about collateral ratios and location of collateral held, see Item 1. Business in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2013.

Cash and Due from Banks.

Note   3. Cash and Due from Banks.

Cash on hand, cash items in the process of collection, and amounts due from correspondent banks and the Federal Reserve Banks are included in Cash and due from banks.

Pass-through Deposit Reserves

The FHLBNY acts as a pass-through correspondent for member institutions required to deposit reserves with the Federal Reserve Banks.  Pass-through reserves deposited with Federal Reserve Banks were $93.0 million and $85.1 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The FHLBNY includes member reserve balances in Other liabilities in the Statements of Condition.

Cash Collateral Pledged to Derivative Counterparties

The FHLBNY executes derivatives with major swap dealers and financial institutions (“derivative counterparties” or “counterparties”), and enters into bilateral collateral agreements.  Beginning June 10, 2013, certain of the FHLBNY’s derivatives are cleared and settled through one or several Derivative Clearing Organizations (“DCO”) as mandated under the Dodd-Frank Act.  The FHLBNY considers the DCO as a derivative counterparty.  For both bilaterally executed derivatives and derivatives cleared through a DCO, when derivative counterparties are exposed, the FHLBNY would post cash as pledged collateral to mitigate the counterparty’s credit exposure.

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the FHLBNY had deposited $1.7 billion and $2.5 billion with counterparties and these amounts earned interest generally at the overnight Federal funds rate.  The cash posted was recorded as a deduction to Derivative liabilities, as provided under master netting agreements or under a legal netting opinion.  Excess cash posted was classified as a Derivative asset.

See Credit Risk due to nonperformance by counterparties in Note 16. Derivatives and Hedging activities.

(a) Unpaid principal balances and fair values on securities deemed to be OTTI at September 30, 2012.

(b) Represent OTTI recorded at the quarter end date.  If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected (discounted at the security’s initial effective yield) is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, an OTTI is considered to have occurred because the entire amortized cost basis of the security will not be recovered.  The credit-related OTTI is recognized in earnings.  The non-credit portion of OTTI, which represents fair value losses of OTTI securities (excluding the amount of credit losses), is recognized in AOCI. Positive non-credit losses represent the net amount of non-credit losses reclassified from AOCI to increase the carrying value of securities previously deemed OTTI.

(c) HEL Subprime securities are supported by home equity loans.

(d) Securities deemed to be OTTI at the quarter end date(s) had been previously determined to be OTTI, and the additional impairment, or re-impairment, was due to further deterioration in the credit performance metrics of the securities.

(a)	Unrecognized gross holding gains and losses represent the difference between fair value and carrying value of a held-to-maturity security. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the FHLBNY had pledged MBS with an amortized cost basis of $2.0 million and $2.8 million to the FDIC in connection with deposits maintained by the FDIC at the FHLBNY.
(b)	The amounts represent private-label mortgage- and asset-backed securities.
(c)	Amortized cost — Bonds collateralized by manufactured housing are insured by Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. (“AGM”); they totaled $117.3 million and $132.6 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Asset-backed securities (supported by home equity loans) insured by AGM were $66.5 million and $69.8 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Asset-backed securities (supported by home equity loans) insured by Ambac and MBIA, together, were $117.5 million and $134.7 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Based on analysis performed, the FHLBNY has determined that for bond insurer AGM, insurance guarantees can be relied upon to cover any projected shortfalls. The reliance period for MBIA has been extended from 3 months to a 12 month horizon (to September 30, 2014) due to recent legal settlements and an improvement in the company’s liquidity since the second quarter of 2013. For bond insurer Ambac, the reliance period is probable until December 31, 2013.

Consolidated Obligations.

Consolidated Obligations.

Note 10. Consolidated Obligations.

Consolidated obligations (or consolidated bonds; or consolidated discount notes) are the joint and several obligations of the FHLBanks, and consist of bonds and discount notes.  The FHLBanks issue consolidated obligations through the Office of Finance as their fiscal agent.  In connection with each debt issuance, a FHLBank specifies the amount of debt it wants issued on its behalf.  The Office of Finance tracks the amount of debt issued on behalf of each FHLBank.  Each FHLBank separately tracks and records as a liability for its specific portion of consolidated obligations for which it is the primary obligor.  Consolidated bonds are issued primarily to raise intermediate- and long-term funds for the FHLBanks and are not subject to any statutory or regulatory limits on maturity.  Consolidated discount notes are issued primarily to raise short-term funds.  Discount notes sell at less than their face amount and are redeemed at par value when they mature.

The Finance Agency, at its discretion, may require any FHLBank to make principal or interest payments due on any consolidated obligations.  Although it has never occurred, to the extent that a FHLBank would make a payment on a consolidated obligation on behalf of another FHLBank, the paying FHLBank would be entitled to reimbursement from the non-complying FHLBank.  However, if the Finance Agency determines that the non-complying FHLBank is unable to satisfy its obligations, then the Finance Agency may allocate the outstanding liability among the remaining FHLBanks on a pro rata basis in proportion to each FHLBank’s participation in all consolidated obligations outstanding, or on any other basis the Finance Agency may determine.  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 an obligation on behalf of other FHLBanks.  The par amounts of the FHLBanks’ outstanding consolidated obligations, including consolidated obligations held by other FHLBanks, were approximately $0.7 trillion as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Finance Agency 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 securities in which fiduciary and trust funds may invest under the laws of the state in which the FHLBank is located.  The FHLBNY met the qualifying unpledged asset requirements as follows:

	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Percentage of unpledged qualifying assets to consolidated obligations	108	%	109	%

(a) The Bank has a grantor trust to fund current and future payments for its employee supplemental pension plan.  Investments in the trust are classified as AFS.  The grantor trust invests in money market, equity and fixed income and bond funds.  Daily net asset values are readily available and investments are redeemable at short notice.  Realized gains and losses from investments in the funds were not significant.

Unrealized Losses

Tables reporting unrealized losses have been omitted as there were de minimis unrealized losses at September 30, 2013, and no unrealized losses at December 31, 2012.

Impairment Analysis (OTTI) of AFS Securities

The Bank’s portfolio of MBS classified as AFS is comprised primarily of GSE-issued collateralized mortgage obligations, which are “pass through” securities.  The FHLBNY evaluates its individual securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and a U.S. agency by considering the creditworthiness and performance of the debt securities and the strength of the government-sponsored enterprises’ guarantees of the securities.  Based on the analysis, GSE-issued securities are performing in accordance with their contractual agreements.  The FHLBNY believes that it will recover its investments in GSE-issued securities given the current levels of collateral, credit enhancements and guarantees that exist to protect the investments.

Redemption Terms

Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment fees.  The amortized cost and estimated fair values (a) of investments classified as AFS, by contractual maturity, were as follows (in thousands):

	September 30, 2013				December 31, 2012
	Amortized Cost (c)		Fair Value		Amortized Cost (c)		Fair Value

Capital Stock, Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock and Restricted Retained Earnings.

Capital Stock, Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock and Restricted Retained Earnings.

Note 12. Capital Stock, Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock and Restricted Retained Earnings.

The FHLBanks, including the FHLBNY, have a 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.  A member’s stock requirement is generally based on its use of FHLBNY products, subject to a minimum membership requirement as prescribed by the FHLBank Act and the FHLBNY’s Capital Plan.  FHLBNY stock can be issued, exchanged, redeemed and repurchased only at its stated par value of $100 per share.  It is not publicly traded.  An option to redeem capital stock that is greater than a member’s minimum requirement is held by both the member and the FHLBNY.

The FHLBNY’s Capital Plan offers two sub-classes of Class B capital stock, Class B1 and Class B2.  Class B1 stock is issued to meet membership stock purchase requirements.  Class B2 stock is issued to meet activity-based stock requirements.  The FHLBNY requires member institutions to maintain Class B1 stock based on a percentage of the member’s mortgage-related assets and Class B2 stock based on a percentage of advances and acquired member assets, mainly MPF loans, outstanding with the FHLBank and certain commitments outstanding with the FHLBank.  Class B1 and Class B2 stockholders have the same voting rights and dividend rates.  Members can redeem Class B stock by giving five years notice.  The Bank’s capital plan does not provide for the issuance of Class A capital stock.

The FHLBNY is subject to risk-based capital rules.  Specifically, the FHLBNY is subject to three capital requirements under its capital plan.  First, the FHLBNY must maintain at all times permanent capital in an amount at least equal to the sum of its credit risk, market risk, and operations risk capital requirements as calculated in accordance with the FHLBNY policy, and rules and regulations of the Finance Agency.  Only permanent capital, defined as Class B stock and retained earnings, satisfies this risk-based capital requirement.  The Finance Agency may require the FHLBNY to maintain an amount of permanent capital greater than what is required by the risk-based capital requirements.  In addition, the FHLBNY is required to maintain at least a 4.0% total capital-to-asset ratio and at least a 5.0% 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 times divided by total assets.

The FHLBNY was in compliance with the aforementioned capital rules and requirements for all periods presented.  The FHLBNY met the “adequately capitalized” classification, which is the highest rating, under the capital rule.  However, the Finance Agency has discretion to reclassify a FHLBank and to modify or add to the corrective action requirements for a particular capital classification.  For more information about the capital rules under the Finance Agency regulations and a discussion of corrective actions, if any, see Note 12. Capital Stock, Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock and Restricted Retained Earnings in the audited financial statements included in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2013.

Risk-based Capital — The following table summarizes the Bank’s risk-based capital ratios (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2013						December 31, 2012
	Required (d)			Actual			Required (d)			Actual
Regulatory capital requirements:
Risk-based capital (a) (e)	$	632,097		$	6,469,647		$	489,133		$	5,714,352
Total capital-to-asset ratio	4.00		%	5.33		%	4.00		%	5.55		%
Total capital (b)	$	4,855,446		$	6,469,647		$	4,119,552		$	5,714,352
Leverage ratio	5.00		%	7.99		%	5.00		%	8.32		%
Leverage capital (c)	$	6,069,307		$	9,704,471		$	5,149,440		$	8,571,529

(a) Actual “Risk-based capital” is capital stock and retained earnings plus mandatorily redeemable capital stock. Section 932.2 of the Finance Agency’s regulations also refers to this amount as “Permanent Capital.”

(b) Required “Total capital” is 4.0% of total assets.

(c) Actual “Leverage capital” is actual Risk-based capital times 1.5.

(d) Required minimum.

(e) Under regulatory guidelines issued by the Finance Agency concurrently with the rating action in 2011 by S&P lowered the rating of long-term securities issued by the U.S. government, federal agencies, and other entities, including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the FHLBanks from AAA to AA+ with regard to this action, consistent with guidance provided by the banking regulators with respect to capital rules, the Finance Agency provided guidance to not change the risk weights for Treasury securities and other securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, government agencies, and government-sponsored entities for purposes of calculating risk-based capital.

Restricted Retained Earnings

The FHLBNY allocates 20% of its net income to a separate restricted retained earnings account, which has grown to $139.5 million at September 30, 2013, up from $96.2 million at December 31, 2012.  The 12 FHLBanks have a Joint Capital Enhancement Agreement (“Capital Agreement”) that requires each FHLBank to contribute 20% of its Net income each quarter to a restricted retained earnings account until the balance of that account equals at least one percent of that FHLBank’s average balance of outstanding consolidated obligations for the previous quarter.  These restricted retained earnings will not be available to pay dividends.  For more information about the Capital Agreement, see Note 12.  Capital Stock, Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock and Restricted Retained Earnings, in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 25, 2013.

Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock

Generally, the FHLBNY’s capital stock is redeemable at the option of either the member or the FHLBNY subject to certain conditions, including the provisions under the accounting guidance for certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  In accordance with the accounting guidance, the FHLBNY generally reclassifies the stock subject to redemption from equity to a liability once a member irrevocably exercises a written redemption right, gives notice of intent to withdraw from membership, or attains non-member status by merger or acquisition, charter termination, or involuntary termination from membership.  Under such circumstances, the member shares will then meet the definition of a mandatorily redeemable financial instrument and are reclassified to a liability at fair value.

Anticipated redemptions of mandatorily redeemable capital stock in the following table assume the FHLBNY will follow its current practice of daily redemption of capital in excess of the amount required to support advances and MPF loans (in thousands):

	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Redemption less than one year	$	4,081	$	2,582
Redemption from one year to less than three years	226		698
Redemption from three years to less than five years	16,528		5,210
Redemption from five years or greater	2,783		14,653
Total	$	23,618	$	23,143

The following table provides roll-forward information with respect to changes in mandatorily redeemable capital stock liabilities (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,
	2013			2012			2013			2012
Beginning balance	$	25,437		$	42,035		$	23,143		$	54,827
Capital stock subject to mandatory redemption reclassified from equity	390			—			4,452			45
Redemption of mandatorily redeemable capital stock (a)	(2,209		)	(21,541		)	(3,977		)	(34,378		)
Ending balance	$	23,618		$	20,494		$	23,618		$	20,494
Accrued interest payable (b)	$	250		$	398		$	250		$	398

(a) Redemption includes repayment of excess stock.

(b) The annualized accrual rates were 4.00% for September 30, 2013 and 4.50% for September 30, 2012 on mandatorily redeemable capital stock.

Voluntary and Involuntary Withdrawal and Changes in Membership — Changes in membership due to mergers were not significant in any periods in this report.  When a member is acquired by a non-member, the FHLBNY reclassifies stock of the member to a liability on the day the member’s charter is dissolved.  Under existing practice, the FHLBNY repurchases Class B2 capital stock held by former members if such stock is considered “excess” and is no longer required to support outstanding advances.  Class B1 membership stock held by former members is re-calculated and repurchased annually.

The following table provides withdrawals and terminations in membership:

	Three months ended September 30,		Nine months ended September 30,
	2013	2012	2013	2012
Voluntary Termination/Notices Received and Pending	1	1	2	1
Involuntary Termination (a)	—	—	1	2
Non-member due to merger	1	—	2	—

(a) The Board of Directors of FHLBank may terminate the membership of any institution that: (1) fails to comply with any requirement of the FHLBank Act, any regulation adopted by the Finance Agency, or any requirement of the Bank’s capital plan; (2) becomes insolvent or otherwise subject to the appointment of a conservator, receiver, or other legal custodian under federal or state law; or (3) would jeopardize the safety or soundness of the FHLBank if it was to remain a member.
